Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

The difficulty of traveling lies not in the mountains or the rivers, but in the foul language and obscene words.

Regarding romantic relationships in the mortal world, both Qingjie and Yixuan believed that they were obstacles on Shen Yichen's path forward.

Qingjie advised Shen Yichen to forget about it, but Yixuan decided to kill him without consulting Shen Yichen at all, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Shen Yichen looked up at the setting sun and its afterglow, and sighed softly:

"I may have the freedom to roam the martial world, but I am not truly a free person. Is it really impossible for me to get around the Ji family and the world?"

"And the Ancient Miao Territory!"

Shen Yichen, Ning Menghuan, and Yixuan were startled. A figure suddenly appeared from the distant mountains and dense forests and stopped beside Shen Yichen. It was the old man in black robes from the Thousand Temples.

That is, the old man in the blood-red robe in Jianying City, who seems to still be called the old man in the blood-red robe, whose black robe is completely stained with blood.

Shen Yichen was shocked.

He knew the old man in the blood-red robe's cultivation level; it was comparable to that of half a Demon Emperor and half a King Li Ling. How could he be so seriously injured?

Before Shen Yichen and his two companions could even ask any questions, countless masked men with black veils followed closely from the depths of the dense forest. In just a moment, they surrounded the four of them – the people of the Shadow Hall!

Neither side made any rash moves.

"Young Master Shen, how have you been?"

Shen Yichen knew why the old man in the blood-red robe had come to find him. He shook his head and sighed softly.

"You really understand me; you knew I wouldn't abandon you!"

"Young Master Shen is a man of great loyalty and righteousness; I believe you will protect this old man from death!"

"What about her?"

Shen Yichen was referring to Ouyang Zhiqing.

Among the thousand temples, Shen Yichen wanted to ask, but he had no chance at all. Moreover, he was a little afraid to ask, as he was not ready to face the unknown outcome.

"Young Master Shen, it seems inappropriate to discuss this now. We should find a secluded place to drink and talk!"

"Alright, but you have to answer one question for me: how far away can the Silent Blood Ring sense the Blood Nether Lotus within my body?"

Shen Yichen no longer needed to hide it. The fact that the old man in the blood robe was able to find him so accurately must be related to the Silent Yin Blood Ring and the Blood Nether Lotus.

"Young Master Shen is becoming increasingly intelligent and knowledgeable about the ways of the martial world!"

"Stop talking nonsense. I'm going to risk my life for you, so you have to show me your sincerity!"

"I sensed you as soon as you sensed me, but I did something to you inside the carriage, all for today's situation!"

Shen Yichen was slightly startled. The blood-robed elder's meaning was clear: if the Blood Nether Lotus within his body remained still, the blood-robed elder would not know of his existence.

How can I control the Blood Nether Lotus to prevent it from fluctuating?

"Young Master Shen, I have shown my sincerity. Isn't it time for you to reciprocate?"

Shen Yichen had no choice but to speak up, as the people from the Shadow Hall had already made their move.

"Sister Huan, help me!"

Shen Yichen made his move. He didn't call out to Yixuan because he didn't want to owe Yixuan a favor. To be precise, he was very afraid of Yixuan right now.

Yi Xuan had never hurt him, but Shen Yichen's truest feeling was fear!

"Why did I save you in front of Jade Jade Pavilion? Alas, everyone should avoid you!"

Despite her complaints, Ning Menghuan still took action; her words were meant for Yi Xuan's ears.

Ning Menghuan also wanted Yixuan to leave Shen Yichen. Shen Yichen was very smart, but he was too naive. As for Yixuan, he was incredibly intelligent and had a very deep mind.

Yi Xuan did not make a move. He was observing the old man in the blood-red robe. Yi Xuan was much more shocked than Shen Yichen because the old man in the blood-red robe was injured by someone from the Ji family. This was Tian Xianglong's feedback, which referred not to the surface bloodstains, but to internal injuries.

The old man in the blood-red robe suffered severe internal injuries, caused by the Holy Emperor's Technique.

Yi Xuan didn't understand why the old man in the blood-red robe would ask Shen Yichen for help. Although the two were old acquaintances, Yi Xuan could tell that they weren't familiar with each other. Moreover, Shen Yichen was initially on high alert, using all his internal energy to guard against the old man in the blood-red robe.

The old man in the blood-red robe is either an enemy or a dangerous person! Yet Shen Yichen insists on saving him, which is really strange.

"Senior, have you come to greet me from Yingzhou?"

The old man in the blood-red robe ignored Yi Xuan. He was watching the fight between Shen Yichen and Ning Menghuan. Along the way, the old man in the blood-red robe felt that there were hidden masters in the Shadow Hall. He had been searching for them, but had not found them.

The old man in the blood-red robe did indeed suffer severe internal injuries, inflicted by the Illusion Emperor, White-Clad Illusion Dream. After entering Yanquan, he was relentlessly pursued. He didn't even know who killed him. After finally escaping, he was now being hunted by the Shadow Hall. Without a doubt, it was White-Clad Illusion Dream who killed him!

"Brother Chen, something's not right. How can the people from the Shadow Hall be so strong?"

Ning Menghuan's palms flashed with purple light, repelling the people who were attacking her. Logically speaking, ordinary people from the Shadow Hall shouldn't be this powerful!

Shen Yichen had long since discovered that the people he had fought the most against in Manghuang and Jianying were from the Shadow Hall.

"Sister Huan, do you know what happened?"

"How was I supposed to know? That person doesn't seem like a good person. Maybe we should stay out of this mess?"

Ning Menghuan did not kill anyone; she wanted to stay out of it.

Shen Yichen could guess Ning Menghuan's thoughts, but he needed to know about Ouyang Zhiqing.

Shen Yichen's expression hardened!

"The Holy Emperor's Technique of Unity of Heaven and Earth, Sister Huan, I can do it myself!"

On the solitary cliff of Beimeng Mountain, the wind rose and the clouds gathered. The true essence of the Holy Emperor's Technique, mixed with the power of wind, rain, thunder and lightning, attacked the members of the Shadow Hall indiscriminately.

"You, when did you become so amazing?"

Ning Menghuan was somewhat bewildered as she looked at the immense power that caused the world to change color. She flew over and landed beside Yi Xuan.

Not only was Ning Menghuan shocked, but the old man in the blood-red robe and Yi Xuan were equally horrified.

Yixuan muttered to himself:

"Is this the result of that night's cultivation?"

Shen Yichen himself was even more shocked, not only because of the increased power, but also because of the changes in the Heaven and Earth Unity Saint Emperor Technique. It was different from the past, absolutely different!

Shen Yichen couldn't explain it; the feeling was too strange, as if he himself was also a part of the Holy Emperor's Technique.

After the devastating explosion, countless members of the Shadow Hall were killed or injured, and three figures flew towards Shen Yichen.

Shen Yichen was shocked. He circulated his true essence and condensed three pieces of Xuanling Essence in his hands. He met the three people head-on, and the explosive force in the storm directly blasted Shen Yichen away.

Shen Yichen fell at the feet of the old man in the blood-red robe, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and slowly got up.

"Yichen, are you out of your mind? You're trying to save him, do you really have to risk your life like this?"

Shen Yichen turned around and glanced at Yixuan, revealing a strange smile.

"That's why!"

Shen Yichen's aura changed again; he was using the Cloud Void Extreme Deceptive Technique.

Fog rose around the solitary cliff, and the fog was so thick that it could devour a person's true essence.

Ning Menghuan and Yi Xuan looked shocked and said in unison:

"The Secret Technique of Gu Poisoning!"

"Enough talk, let's go!"

Shen Yichen led the three directly into the eerie thick fog.

The old man in the blood-red robe was actually also horrified, but Shen Yichen and the other two couldn't see it.

The old man in the blood-red robe really didn't expect that Shen Yichen's Cloud Void Extreme Strange Technique would become so terrifying in just over a month. It was unbelievable!

How could the old man in the blood-red robe understand Shen Yichen's cultivation!

Shen Yichen's Cloud Void Extreme Deception Technique not only operates on its own, but his body also automatically adjusts itself to allow the Cloud Void Extreme Deception Technique to reach the same level as the Profound Void Chenxiao Technique as soon as possible; otherwise, Shen Yichen's body will suffer a serious problem.

Shen Yichen himself knew that for more than a month, the Cloud Void Extreme Strange Technique within his body had been the most active and had been running the most.

When the members of the Shadow Hall passed through the thick fog, there was no trace of Shen Yichen and his companions.

The leader of the Shadow Hall looked at Lonely Cliff, pondered for a long time, and then waved his hand.

"You should hurry to Luowu Ancient City first, it's getting dark!"

The members of the Shadow Hall quickly disappeared.

After a long while, the leader said coldly:

"Now that you're here, please show yourself!"

A figure floated down from the solitary cliff; it was none other than Ji Xuanren, the man in purple robes.

Ji Xuanren wrote a sentence on the ground:

"You are not from the Shadow Hall!"
