The group continued on their way until they finally reached the exit. Looking up, Chen Han saw a bustling bustle of people coming and going. It turned out to be a key point for the transportation of goods from various local sects. Personnel and carriages from various factions shuttled back and forth non-stop, all busy with the handover and transportation of various supplies.

It is also for this reason that there are no people from Daoyang Sect guarding here. After all, there are a lot of people coming and going here on a daily basis, and there are many eyes watching, so there is no need for Daoyang Sect to send people to guard here specifically.

But there was no time to think about it at the moment. Chen Han turned to face everyone in the team. They had experienced many twists and turns together during this period of time, and they had formed a friendship with each other.

Chen Han walked forward, clasped his fists towards the drivers, and said sincerely, "Dear brothers, thank you for your care during this period. Now we have some things to deal with, so I bid you farewell. I hope you have a safe journey."

The drivers all responded with smiles, and the bearded man even patted Chen Han's shoulder enthusiastically.

"Brother, why should I thank you? It's fate that we've been together all this time! You better be careful. If we have the chance in the future, we must get together again for a few drinks!"

After saying goodbye to the drivers, Chen Han's eyes fell on the man.

He took a deep breath, trying to make his tone sound calmer, but his eyes still revealed an unconcealable eagerness, and he asked.

"Brother, now that we're out of this deep forest, tell me where the Shadow Cult's base is."

The man sighed softly and bit his lip. He looked a little tired and said slowly, "This place is indeed very far away from the Shadow Sect branch. The branch is located in the south of Chu State."

Chen Han frowned slightly when he heard this and asked, "Then why are you here?"

The man looked bitter and shook his head helplessly.

"I had finally managed to escape from the Shadow Cult safely under the protection of my senior brothers and sisters."

"We fled a long way. I was anxious to return to the sect, hoping to quickly inform them of the Shadow Cult's evil deeds. So I decided to take a shortcut back through the wild roads. But my luck was so bad that I ran into them halfway and was captured by the Shadow Cult. Then they brought me here."

Chen Han thought for a moment after hearing this, and a look of reluctance gradually appeared on his face.

He slowly raised his head, his gaze fell on Chen Yue beside him, his voice filled with solemnity and determination.

"Chenyue, take Mengyue with you. This trip to the Shadow Cult stronghold is extremely dangerous. I don't know if we can escape unscathed."

"If I can return safely, I will definitely go look for you and my sister, but if... I can't come back, then this is all I can do."

As soon as Chen Han finished speaking, Meng Yue's eyes widened. She rushed forward, grabbed Chen Han's arm tightly, and her voice was filled with tears.

"Brother, don't go. It's too dangerous. I don't want you to leave me. Let's go together, okay?"

Chen Yue looked anxious and stubborn. She walked forward quickly and reached out to grab Chen Han's other arm.

"What nonsense are you talking about! How can you push yourself into such a desperate situation? Don't forget, you saved my life. Now you're going to the Shadow Cult. How can I watch you go into danger alone? I'll follow you wherever you go!"

"I'm not afraid of those guys from the Shadow Cult. Let's work together to find a way to deal with them." After saying that, Chen Yue held Chen Han's hand tightly, his eyes showing great determination, and he was unwilling to give in at all.

The two looked at each other, their eyes revealing their persistence and determination, and for a moment neither of them was willing to give in first.

However, after a long time, the two seemed to come to their senses suddenly, and they both realized that they were holding each other's hands tightly, and they were stunned.

Chen Yue's face flushed instantly. She quickly let go of her hand, turned her head away, and spoke in a panic.

"Hmph, I've already decided that we're going together. Don't even think about leaving me alone. But... don't think too much about what happened just now. I just don't want to owe you a favor." After she said that, her ears turned slightly red, but she still held her neck stiff, looking as if she was refusing to give in.

At this time, after the tug of war and embarrassment, Chen Han and Chen Yue both subconsciously looked at the man.

The man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile. He scratched his head helplessly, feeling like an outsider at the moment. He curled his lips.

"Have you forgotten about me? This isn't that difficult. Why don't you just let me go back to the sect and find some help? Why make it like a life-or-death separation?"

As he spoke, his voice became quieter and quieter, as if he had noticed that the atmosphere was a little tense...

After hearing what the man said, Chen Han and Chen Yue suddenly realized what was going on. They looked at each other, and a hint of regret flashed in their eyes.

"Oh! Haste hurts reason!" Mingjie sighed.

Chen Han slapped his head suddenly, his face full of regret.

"Look at my brain! How could I have forgotten this? I could have asked you to return to the sect to get reinforcements. I was so anxious that I lost my composure and almost did something stupid."

Chen Yue also looked embarrassed. She scratched her head and said, "Well, I was confused too. I was so focused on not letting you take risks alone that I didn't even think of other solutions. Really."

At this moment, the man looked at the two of them with a strange expression, "You two have such a good relationship that you even forgot about the separation of life and death..."

When Chen Yue heard the man's words, she twisted the corner of her clothes with her fingers and glanced around in panic.

"Oh, don't talk nonsense. It's not like what you said. We were just... just worried that this thing wouldn't be done well. We were so anxious and confused just now that we didn't pay attention to anything else, hum!"

Chen Yue spoke haltingly, and while speaking, he did not forget to secretly glance at Chen Han, and then quickly looked away. His embarrassed look was still very cute.

The man couldn't help but smile when he saw Chen Yue's embarrassed look. Then he stopped joking and turned serious. He said sincerely:

"Thank you both for saving me just now. I've saved my life. I'm really grateful."

"My name is Xiao Feng, a disciple of the Qingxuan Sect. I was in a hurry and took a wrong path before, which caused me trouble. So, although we are taking the right path this time, it will take some time. We can only take it slowly."

After saying that, Xiao Feng clasped his fists and, despite being injured, saluted towards Chen Han and Chen Yue with difficulty.

Seeing this, Chen Han and Chen Yue returned the greeting and introduced themselves.

Chen Yue looked at Chen Han and patted his shoulder gently. "Let's not worry about it for now. The most urgent thing is to rest up. You've consumed a lot of energy along the way. You need to rest up and recover. Brother Xiao is injured again."

Chen Han frowned and said, "That's true, but we don't seem to have anything on us right now."

As he was speaking, Chen Yue calmly took out a storage bag from his arms and waved it in front of Chen Han.

"Ding-ding! Look!"

Chen Han's eyes widened immediately, and he asked in surprise, "Where did you come from? Didn't you say that you lost your storage bag?"

"Ahem, I can see you're not careful at all. This was from those gray-robed men you killed before, and I brought it back secretly."

"I had completely forgotten about this matter. You are so thoughtful and considerate. It's different when you have seen the world! Now it's good. We can deal with it in an emergency."

At this time, Xiao Feng looked at the two of them and whispered secretly: "No wonder everyone says there is a virtuous one..." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Yue with a glare.

Seeing this, he quickly covered his mouth and turned his head away.
