Cai Yuexin carried Zhan Chen and Gong Xinyan and got rid of Batu Nuo's pursuit. She didn't stop until she was sure that the devil could no longer find them, landed in the desert, and turned into a human form.
.
Gong Xinyan walked up to her out of curiosity and said, "Xin'er, you are so powerful, you can even fight with that devil!"
Cai Yuexin was also in a state of excitement, her plump chest rising and falling, and she said, "I don't know if I can do it, but I did it." At this point, she looked at Zhan Chen again and said excitedly: "
Zhan Chen, I did it and finally protected you!"
Zhan Chen was as happy as her. He walked forward, stretched out his big hand, and stroked Cai Yuexin's little head a few times. The latter looked intoxicated, obviously enjoying this feeling.
Seeing this situation, Gong Xinyan felt itchy in her heart and subconsciously stretched out her hand. Cai Yuexin immediately regained her vigilance and hid behind Zhan Chen.
Seeing this, Gong Xinyan retracted her hand angrily. Zhan Chen couldn't help but smile awkwardly and changed the subject: "By the way, Sister Gong, where are we?"
After Gong Xinyan heard what he said, she looked around and frowned: "I don't understand either. Everything here is covered with yellow sand, and I can't even tell the direction."
Zhan Chen muttered: "In this case, let's confirm a direction first and find a place where there are people." At this point, he took out the compass needle, and then said to Cai Yuexin: "Xin'er, you
Or you can go and take a rest, you must have consumed a lot of demon energy just now as you escaped from Batu Nuo's pursuit."
Cai Yuexin shook her head and said: "No, now I feel that I have endless power, and I want to walk outside more!" She said this just as an excuse, but in fact she wanted to spend more time with Zhan Chen
.
"It's fine." Zhan Chen saw that there was indeed nothing wrong with her, and he was very happy, and then said: "However, I won't bother you if I go instead. There is Xiao Ye!" Zhan Chen summoned Xiao Ye and let it transform.
It was a black-feathered golden eagle, and then he called Cai Yuexin and Gong Xinyan to sit on it together.
Today, Xiaoye has reached the limit of the lower-level immortal-level spirit beasts, and is only one step away from breaking through to the middle-level immortal-level beasts. This is only possible because Zhan Chen gave it a lot of demon pills from the immortal-level monsters, so that it can improve so quickly.
, according to its normal practice, it may take hundreds of years to achieve such results.
Gong Xinyan smiled and said: "Xiao Ye, are you feeling stressed when you are with Xiner?"
Xiao Ye glanced at Cai Yuexin and replied coldly: "I was afraid of her at first, but now I finally know that she is just a paper tiger."
Cai Yuexin didn't react at all after hearing his words, and she felt like she was just spitting on her face.
"Okay, Xiao Ye, it's rare for you to show off now. Today you will drive us back to Qinxiao School." Zhan Chen, who was surviving the disaster, looked particularly happy.
Xiao Ye said angrily: "When did I become just your means of transportation?"
Zhan Chen touched his nose and replied: "There is nothing we can do about it, but don't worry, I promised that one day I will help you break through the bloodline boundaries and become the strongest black-feathered golden eagle on the Wanfa Continent.
!”
"Haha, if this is really the case, then I, Xiao Ye, am following the right master."
Afterwards, Zhan Chen, Cai Yuexin and Gong Xinyan sat on Xiao Ye's back, while Xiao Ye flapped his wings and flew into the distance.
Sitting on Xiao Ye's broad back, feeling the oncoming breeze is a unique experience. Xiao Ye's speed is even slower than Zhan Chen, not to mention Gong Xinyan, but the monsters are better because of their abundant physical strength, and besides, they are originally
It is good at flying, but more suitable for persisting in high altitude for a long time.
Zhan Chen and the others searched all the way and flew all the way. It took them nearly half a month to fly out of the desert. Then they asked all the way and it took them a week to return to the sect.
Seeing the familiar scenes here again, Zhan Chen and Gong Xinyan both felt a sense of intimacy and solidity that they had not seen for a long time.
After the on-duty disciple looked at their identity tokens, he suddenly asked: "Are you Ye Gong Xinyan and Zhan Chen?"
Zhan Chen replied: "Yes, what's the matter?"
"It's like this. My family is looking for you, and I want you to go to the disciples for questioning immediately."
Zhan Chen and Gong Xinyan glanced at each other, and they both understood somewhat. I am afraid that what the sect wants to ask them about is the situation of this mission. It seems that the news from far away in the desert has been quietly spread back to the sect.
.
The two hurried to the disciples' place and followed the instructions of the on-duty disciples to the top floor. After entering a room, they were stunned because the person waiting there was none other than Gong Meifen.
When Gong Meifen saw her daughter, her eyes fluctuated for a moment, but she immediately returned to her usual calmness and said, "You finally came back safely?"
Zhan Chen hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Thank you, master, for your concern."
"Okay, no more gossiping. Do you know the purpose of why I came to you today?"
"But for the desert?"
"Yes, it is for this desert expedition mission that there are only two people who have returned to the sect so far, but they have brought bad news. They say that there are no expedition teams sent by our sect besides them.
The entire army may be wiped out——"
"Mom, what are you talking about? Aren't we back in good health now?" Gong Xinyan said dissatisfied.
"Just come back, I've been worried about you."
"It's so rare that you still worry about my daughter."
Seeing that mother and daughter were about to face each other again, Zhan Chen hurriedly tried to persuade Gong Xinyan: "Sister Gong, stop talking. The fact that the master is guarding the disciples means that she has been caring about us."
"Humph, Zhan Chen, don't be so self-righteous. I am standing here today just to ask you questions as an elder in the sect. There is no personal relationship at all."
"I understand." Zhan Chen replied.
"Okay, tell me what you have experienced."
"Yes." Zhan Chen then told in detail everything he and Gong Xinyan encountered in the ancient city.
After listening, Gong Meifen frowned and said, "Does that mean you witnessed the murder of Elder Su?"
Zhan Chen added: "That's not the case. All I saw was Elder Su being restrained by the devil Batuno. After that, we took the time to escape. As for the murder of Elder Su, we didn't witness it with our own eyes.
." Of course Zhan Chen didn't tell them about Batunuo's pursuit of them or Cai Yuexin's assistance in their escape.
"So that's it, then it's basically the same experience as Lin Suya and the others." Gong Meifen murmured.
Hearing her words, Zhan Chen's heart moved. Did Lin Suya really escape successfully? He then asked: "Master, do you have anything else to ask?"
"Okay, it's gone for the time being. You can go back. Our sect will send people to investigate this matter in detail."
"So, what is the merit point of our exploration mission?"
"Don't worry, the merit points will be calculated as usual. After all, you have narrowly escaped death for the sake of the sect. You can get the reward for this mission by coming to the disciples in a few days after you go back."
"Thank you, elder. Master, do you have anything else to ask?"
"No more for now, please step back and have a good rest when you get back."
"yes."
Afterwards, Zhan Chen and Gong Xinyan withdrew from the disciples' office and returned to Xinyan Peak. A few days later, Zhan Chen went to the disciples' office again, and as expected, they got rewarded merit points as expected. This time, they had no worries.
Already.
He immediately took back all the training tower tokens he had accumulated over the years, and entered the training tower to practice in seclusion again. Although he did not get any adventures this time, he witnessed many battles between enlightened ancestors, and he was deeply touched.
I have a hunch that this retreat will make my cultivation much better.
