After being reincarnated, I cultivated immortality.

For several days in a row, Chi Yi and the others would leave the protected area and return in the evening, their expressions growing more and more dejected each day, just like the people who had lived in this small village before. They were initially full of hope in finding a way out, but with each passing day they became disappointed, until finally they could no longer see any hope.

One night a month later, Chi Yi pushed open the door and walked outside, arriving alone at the house at the end of the village.

Standing at the door, Chi Yi paused for a moment, and finally, as if she had made up her mind, she raised her hand and knocked on the door.

"Knock knock~"

A short while later, a clear male voice came from inside the room, "Come in!"

The door opened with a click, and Chi Yi stepped inside.

The man was still dressed in black, his face still obscured. He sat there calmly, with a table and tea-making tools in front of him. He held a teacup in one of his long, slender, and fair hands, with distinct knuckles, and gestured towards Chi Yi before placing it on the opposite side.

Her voice held a hint of amusement. "I knew you'd come. Have a seat and try some of my tea."

Chi Yi remained expressionless, sat down as the man instructed, picked up the cup, and smelled it; a delicate fragrance filled the air.

She took a small sip, and the abundant spiritual energy instantly entered her body. Even her mind felt clearer and more agile. Chi Yi exclaimed in shock, "This is Enlightenment Tea!"

"The little girl has good taste," the man praised.

Chi Yi smiled, put down her cup, and said, "Since you were so sure that I would come, senior, you must be able to tell me what I want to know. I don't even know your name yet!"

"Of course," the man said with a smile, then gave his name: "I am Styx."

Chi Yi's facial expression and body remained completely unchanged, but her heart was in turmoil. She was already cursing wildly. The most impossible possibility had just appeared before her, and she couldn't show any weakness. She had used up all her acting skills in this day.

Previously, Chi Yi and the others had guessed that this man might be one of Styx's subordinates or someone he had bewitched. Who would have thought that it would actually be him!

Is he so sure that nobody knows him or his name?

On the other hand, Styx's arrogance gave Chi Yi and the others a chance to react, which was more conducive to their plan.

"Junior Chi Yi greets Senior Minghe." Chi Yi rose and calmly bowed, her mind frantically telling herself: This is an ordinary person, this is an ordinary person, this is an ordinary person, an ordinary person...

Styx waved his hand casually, and Chi Yi sat down again, asking, "Senior, could you tell me what's different about that stone tablet, and whether it's related to the exit?"

Styx nodded, "That stone tablet is the exit..."

After spending nearly an hour in Minghe's house, Chi Yi returned to her residence with a troubled expression, carrying the answer Minghe had given her.

When Chi Yi pushed open the door and entered the room, Hua Rongyi and the others all looked at her.

Chi Yi recounted everything Styx had said. Styx's words were indeed true, but he had concealed the fact that the stone tablet was what sealed him. If she hadn't consulted with Senior Qiankun first, she probably would have believed him.

The next day, as the sun rose, Chi Yi had Hua Rongyi set up several anti-spy arrays and barriers as before, and finally revealed the news that had troubled her all night.

Qiankun once said that the River Styx can only come out at night, so things that can cause intense emotional turmoil must be said during the day. If you say something at night and he happens to find out, you won't be able to do anything and will just die.

Hua Rongyi stood up from his chair in shock. "That person really is Styx?"

Chi Yi nodded: "It's very likely." Because some powerful beings are arrogant and look down on those with lower cultivation levels, they naturally wouldn't stoop to lying to those with lower cultivation levels.
