Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 209: Secret Realm and Yin Gong

Perhaps because they are in the same row as the previous blocks and not far away, the next four blocks are all diverse dense forest landforms.

They encountered some deformed monsters and alien plants, all of which were quickly killed by Pei Nai who was in a hurry to get on with his journey.

They ran faster and faster, and when they arrived at the exit of the 55th block, Gu Jinheng was standing at the other end of the vine suspension bridge.

Pei Nai walked steadily on the vines, and when he was almost at the end, Gu Jinheng opened his arms on the other side.

His eyes were extremely gentle, as if filled with tiny starlight.

Gu Jinheng was still as clean as before he entered Lu State, because he could control his body functions and didn't even grow a beard. He still looked the same as she remembered.

Pei Nai met his seductive gaze, ran a few steps, and threw herself into Gu Jinheng's arms.

His heart was beating so fast that Pei Nai could even hear the thumping sound.

Gu Jinheng hugged her tightly, as if he was unwilling to let her go.

The sound of everyone moving together attracted the attention of the giant vine creature in the abyss.

Gu Jinheng shook the Tianyin Xuanling in his hand, and the vines that had popped up retreated one after another.

As expected, the Tianyin Xuanling can avoid the attacks of giant alien plants.

Pei Nai was worried that they were blocking the way, so he pointed to the corridor behind Gu Jinheng, which was a more suitable place for talking.

Gu Jinheng nodded, took her hand and walked over.

As soon as she stood up, Gu Jinheng seemed to have discovered something. He frowned and turned her around so that her back was facing him.

His Dan Dao divine energy had already spread to the wound on Pei Nai's back. He asked worriedly, "How did you get hurt?"

Pei Nai turned around and told him about the experience.

After she finished speaking, Gu Jinheng immediately grasped the key point and pinched her cheek, "Who applied the medicine for you?"

He knew it but still had to ask.

Pei Nai pretended to be angry first, and said angrily: "Then I can't see it myself."

A smile appeared on Gu Jinheng's lips. He stopped teasing her and took her into his arms again. He bent down, put his face against her forehead, and held her like that.

Pei Nai thought that she was worrying for nothing.

"Just now I thought you were my illusion, so I didn't respond to you at the beginning." Gu Jinheng suddenly changed the subject and explained.

Is he afraid that she will be angry?

Pei Nai struggled slightly, still in his arms, but with enough space to lift his wrist.

She saw the teeth marks she had left on Gu Jinheng when they were in Gangdu. The marks were deep and still hadn’t faded. She felt a pang of pain in her heart. “Are you stupid?”

"Now that you're back, I won't keep it. It will heal soon, don't worry." Gu Jinheng kissed her forehead and smoothed her brows.

Then he asked uncertainly, "How long has it been since we last met?"

"Forty-five days!" Pei Nai had been calculating and answered immediately.

Gu Jinheng felt as if he had walked out of a fog, and suddenly said, "It feels like several years have passed."

Pei Nai understood him too well.

Not to mention anything else, just the past three days since they came here have made them feel like each day was a year long. If this happened a few more times, anyone would collapse.

Gu Jinheng's team has been here for more than a month, and all the members are still here. This is a miracle considering there is no map.

Gu Jinheng took Pei Nai's wrist in turn, pinched her forearm, and asked, "Is your arm feeling better?"

"It doesn't affect my martial arts practice now." Pei Nai asked him in return, "Have you slept well recently?"

Gu Jinheng answered truthfully, "Not very well."

Pei Nai just remembered and took out the small painting from the inner pocket of his lapel, "By the way, this is for you."

This was the small painting she had painted in Duke Duan Ding's mansion, which Pei Nai had brought in with her.

Gu Jinheng took it and saw the content. His pupils moved slightly and there was a slight wave in his eyes. He looked at Pei Nai, who was afraid that he would kiss her the next moment, so she shook her head.

Gu Jinheng stared at the small painting in his hand, examining it over and over again, and finally put it away with great care, and gently pinched Pei Nai's face, "I'm so happy."

Pei Nai threw herself into his arms again, and Gu Jinheng didn't mind and hugged her indulgently.

"Stop hugging," Han Ruize's voice sounded from behind, "Come here and discuss something serious."

Pei Nai then let go of Gu Jinheng, tugged at his sleeve, and walked towards where everyone was gathering.

Gu Jinheng followed her, took her hand and rubbed it in his palm.

"How many blocks have you gone through now?" Han Ruize asked.

Gu Jinheng thought about it and said, "Five hundred and ninety-seven."

Pei Nai's heart trembled when he heard this, "Then how did you pass the third circle?"

"The third circle?" Gu Jinheng was puzzled.

Luo Yuanying took out the map and explained its origin.

Gu Jinheng took the map and read it while listening to him.

"The third circle is this part." Pei Nai pointed to Gu Jinheng, "Everything will be chaotically integrated here."

Judging from the expressions of Gu Jinheng and everyone else, the third circle did not bring any shadow to them.

Du Ling understood and said, "At first we found that our bodies would stick to objects, but luckily I was there. I used the Dan Dao Divine Qi to cover us and the fusion stopped. After that, I used the Dan Dao Divine Qi to cover all of us. Within the range covered by him, the human body would not be affected by the fusion, and we were able to pick up weapons."

The soldiers in Pei Nai's and Han Ruize's teams all took a deep breath, feeling psychologically stimulated by the contrast.

Pei Nai pursed his lips, recalling the torture he had suffered at that time, and said to Gu Jinheng: "Does Huo Jiang's Yin Gong come from the secret realm? And judging from the treatment he has received, he must be the biological son of the secret realm."

Gu Jinheng answered her: "I can only control physical organisms, such as making the structure and tissue of the human body stable, but I cannot control the state of objects, so all objects cannot collide with each other."

"Did anyone in your team sacrifice their lives?" Pei Nai asked.

Gu Jinheng nodded, "Three silver-armored guards."

"Over a month, without a map, without knowing the rules, and walking through 597 blocks, but only three people died?" Pei Nai's eyes widened in surprise. "And you didn't go in the wrong direction, you just took a lot of unnecessary detours."

Gu Jinheng's martial arts has been cultivated to this level, and his overall control over group combat is too terrifying.

Wherever the Qi is, it feels like there is divine help.

Han Ruize was speechless but convinced, and said to Pei Nai: "The news of your death ten years ago stimulated him and brought the Dan Dao Shen Qi Yin Gong to an unprecedented height."

But it was the truth. After all, Gu Jinheng cured his muteness at the moment he was shocked by the news of Pei Nai's death.

Pei Nai squeezed his hand distressedly.

"Let's go to the next block." Han Ruize felt that he had asked all the important questions, and other questions could be discussed after they set up camp and rest at night.

Everyone turned and walked into the passage.

Gu Jinheng called Han Ruize and said calmly, "Thank you for applying the medicine."

After hearing this, Han Ruize was so angry that he almost couldn't hold it together. He turned to Pei Nai and said, "Did you hear that? How did he say that?"

"Ah?" Pei Nai looked at Gu Jinheng, then at Han Ruize, and asked in confusion: "Isn't he thanking you?"

Han Ruize was mad at her for not being sensible, "What he said might as well have been scolding me." After saying that, he was so angry that he walked away and strode to the head of the team.

Ju Liancheng laughed out loud beside him, but stopped in time and turned his head back.

Pei Nai scratched his head, not quite understanding.

"Why is he angry?" Pei Nai asked Gu Jinheng.

Gu Jinheng straightened her clothes and said, "I don't know."
