Chapter 332 – Returning to the City
Chapter 332: Returning to the City
After moving away from the entrance to the secret realm, looking at the Mixed Yuan City not far ahead, Xu Chuniang’s heart moved, but did not enter the city.
She changed direction and headed towards Wind Weeping Mountain.
She deliberately chose an avenue, encountering several cultivators along the way, and just entered the Wind Weeping Mountain range with a big grin.
After entering the depths of Wind Weeping Mountain, Xu Chuniang released her divine sense and confirmed that there was no one around before she restored her original appearance and destroyed all of her clothes.
Only after doing all this did she use her divine sense to lock onto two early Foundation Establishment Urchin Apes, and hunted them down unhurriedly.
After killing the demonic beasts in Wind Weeping Mountain for five days, Xu Chuniang left this place and embarked on her return journey.
Before she even arrived at Mixed Yuan City, she saw from afar that a lot of guards had been added outside the city, keeping a tight vigil.
It was thought that the fact that Xie Changyuan had failed to leave the Tianyuan Mystic Realm as scheduled three days ago had alerted the city’s main government.
Xu Chuniang lowered her eyes, pretending not to know as she walked towards the city gates.
The city gates were heavily guarded, and every cultivator entering and leaving the city was closely scrutinized.
Several Foundation cultivators were holding magic treasures to make sure that incoming and outgoing cultivators did not disguise themselves or hide their cultivation, and there was even a Jindan cultivator sitting next to them.
When it was Xu Chuniang’s turn, she touched out her identity jade card and took the initiative to reach out and place her hand on top of the magic treasure used for inspection.
“Pass.”
Hearing this, her heart was slightly relieved, and she was about to step into the city when she saw that Jindan cultivator suddenly open his eyes, his gaze landing on her.
“Wait!”
Xu Chuniang’s heart tightened, but her face revealed a hint of confusion, as if she didn’t know why she was being called to stop.
The Jindan cultivator could naturally tell that the cultivation level of the female cultivator in front of him was only at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment.
Lord City Master had specifically explained that he should pay more attention to cultivators at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment.
He spoke coldly, “Release your divine sense.”
Xu Chuniang made a puzzled look, after all, she had explained just now that she had stayed in Wind Weeping Mountain for a month and had only rushed back to the city today.
The two late Foundation Establishment cultivators responsible for the inspection both had impatient faces.
There were still so many people waiting to be tested, they were too lazy to explain.
“I told you to release your divine sense, just do it, no need to ask so many questions.”
Xu Chuniang took a deep breath and forced her mind to calm down.
That day when she came out from the Heavenly Yuan Mysterious Realm, she had changed her own aura, and her contact with those Jindan cultivators was extremely brief, so if she released her divine sense at this moment, she shouldn’t be recognized, right?
She pondered on the one hand and made a cooperative appearance on the other, and was about to release her divine sense, when her remaining light glanced at the Jindan cultivator on the side, and his face changed slightly after he opened a transmitting note.
“I have urgent matters, I’ll return after going, you two are here to check closely.”
After saying that, this Jindan cultivator then directly left in the air.
Xu Chuniang blinked and quietly released her divine sense.
This invisible divine sense, after touching the divine senses of the two late Foundation Establishment cultivators, was violently bounced back as if it had encountered some huge obstruction.
And as if her body couldn’t withstand it, she then swayed and nearly fell.
“Alright, let’s go.”
Xu Chuniang withdrew her divine sense and “weakly” entered the city.
Until she entered the Xiang Yun Inn, she still maintained this weakness.
The inn’s shopkeeper saw her come back alive, his face showed surprise, so long did not see her back, he thought that this female cultivator has long been dead in the Wind Weeping Mountain.
However, he quickly put away the surprise on his face and replaced it with a smile.
“Taoist friend finally came back, this period of time you that a few companions, can not less to me here to inquire about the news, and even thought of going to the Wind Weeping Mountain to find you. Good thing you finally came back, otherwise a few days later, I really can’t persuade.” Xu Chuniang returned a smile, while taking out a small bag of spirit stones and placing it on the counter, “Many thanks to the shopkeeper for delivering the message for me.”
Before she left, she had explained her direction to Huo Chunyan and the others, but just in case the three of them impulsively ran off to Wind Weeping Mountain to look for her, she purposely asked the shopkeeper to help look after them.
The shopkeeper smiles and touches up the spirit stone bag, and after weighing the weight without leaving any traces, reveals a look of satisfaction.
“Fellow Daoist is too polite, I didn’t help much.”
After thanking the shopkeeper again, Xu Chuniang walked over to the door of the room she had previously stayed in and knocked on the door.
“Who?”
“It’s me.”
In less than half a breath, the door to the room was violently pulled open, and Huo Chunyan stared at Xu Chuniang with wide eyes, her eyes slowly reddening.
“Chuniang, you’re back …… Great, great!”
She was a little excited and wanted to say something, but only repeated the sentence.
After waking up Zhuge Senior Brother left a message saying that he had gone to the Secret Realm, and Chuniang left a message saying that she had gone to Wind Weeping Mountain.
The three of them were worried to death, God knows how they came through these days.
Several times they were ready to go to Wind Weeping Mountain, but after thinking of the words left by Chun Niang, they held back in the end.
“It’s all because a few of us are useless that we let you wade into danger alone to earn spirit stones ……”
Looking at Huo Chunyan as if she’s about to cry, Xu Chuniang coughs lightly to cover up her heart.
The Xiang Yun Inn rooms are expensive, and after a few people have been living there for half a year, the meager family funds have long since been emptied out.
At that time, in order to find a reasonable excuse for her departure, she was so as to use the excuse of hunting demonic beasts and going out to earn money.
“It doesn’t matter, I’m not back in good hands. And although this trip was a bit of hard work, the harvest was barely decent.”
Huo Chunyan wipes the corners of her eyes, “Senior brother came back three days ago, I’ll go and tell him the good news, as well as Zhang Yu and the others.”
A quarter of an hour later, the five of them once again gathered in Zhuge Yun’s Xuan size room.
Looking at the tea in front of her, Huo Chunyan glances at Zhuge Yun sitting at the top, her tone not very polite.
“This time, senior brother didn’t add any ingredients to it, right?”
Zhuge Yun’s face reveals a hint of apology, “At that time, it was just a helpless act, I hope that several senior brothers and sisters will not take it to heart.”
Xu Chuniang lowered her head and sipped her tea, but in her heart, she was incredibly certain that she had not seen Zhuge Yun’s figure in the entire Tian Yuan Mysterious Realm or even in the Heavenly Dao Palace.
Either …… or he didn’t go to the Heavenly Dao Palace at all.
Either that, or he had also used the method of disguise, and she had failed to recognize him.
Xu Chuniang felt that it was more likely to be the latter, after all, Zhuge Yun had even done something like drugging in order to get rid of the four of them and enter the secret realm, it was unlikely that he would miss the opportunity to go to the Heavenly Dao Palace.
She was able to learn the Bone Shrinking Easy Qigong, and Zhuge Yun’s cultivation was even higher than hers, so it wasn’t surprising that he was able to master this type of technique.
“Senior brother has finally returned safely, and so has Senior Sister Xu. I’ve really been counting the days this past month.”
Zhang Yu let out a long sigh of relief, a look of celebration on his face.
A contemplative look flashed in Zhuge Yun’s eyes, he also only learned of Xu Chuniang’s trip to Wind Weeping Mountain alone after returning from the Secret Realm.
It was just that the timing was a bit too coincidental, she had left alone just after he had left.
It couldn …… t be that this senior sister said in her mouth that she had gone to Wind Weeping Mountain, but in reality, just like him, she had mixed into the secret realm, right?
