Chapter 260: Jing Yuheng Returns

Five days later.

Night.

At the foot of Longshe Shan.

A guest arrived, a special guest; she did not come up the mountain in the daytime, but chose to come up at night.

The moonlight was clear, white frost scattered among the mountain forests, Jing Yuheng's voice appeared and disappeared.

Behind her was a person, someone hidden in the darkness, whose appearance could not be made out, not even her figure, which was concealed by the night.

Those eyes, bright and captivating, like the bright moon in the heavens.

She stood in the night, blending with the surrounding darkness; without seeing her eyes, one would not know there was a second person present.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment."

The woman in the night blinked, signalling Jing Yuheng to go quickly and return quickly.

Jing Yuheng bowed, turned, and entered Longshe Shan.

She left that person standing outside, gazing at the bright moon in the sky; that moon shed a soft light, covering the surrounding peaks, every place illuminated by the moon lay within her eyes, the nearby forests, all were covered, all were seen clearly.

On Longshe Shan, a layer of formation flickered, reflecting the moonlight; moonlight could not enter Longshe Shan.

That layer of formation kept flickering, repelling the moonlight.

Those bright eyes gave a faint smile: "Not a bad formation, worthy of being able to kill Du Xuzi."

She raised her head, looking toward Longshe Shan; in a vague sense, she seemed to see a pair of eyes on the mountain looking over at her.

Their gazes met.

"Interesting, you actually detected my arrival; this person is indeed extraordinary."

On Longshe Shan.

Chen Chuyang walked out of the room; everyone else was still asleep, and that day, everyone was exhausted.

Chen Chuyang sat in the courtyard, having prepared tea.

The formation had been entered; he waved his hand, a path appeared, and a faint light scattered.

A person rushed over at great speed and came directly before Chen Chuyang.

"Guest, you have come late at night; the tea is ready, please drink."

Jing Yuheng sat down without any hesitation, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.

Her eyes brightened for a moment, then she downed the whole cup of tea.

Next, she poured tea herself.

After three consecutive cups of tea went down, Jing Yuheng caught her breath and took out a storage bag.

"Here."

Chen Chuyang took the storage bag; inside were plenty of things, more than he had expected.

"You gave too much."

"These are my thanks; you saved me twice, a small token, I hope you will accept it, fellow cultivator."

"Then I would be rude to refuse."

Chen Chuyang was not polite; if you give it to me, I naturally want it.

Coincidentally, he also lacked resources.

No one would disdain resources.

Jing Yuheng breathed a sigh of relief; Chen Chuyang accepted the things, indicating he approved of this practice.

He reached out.

Chen Chuyang was perceptive; he took out the IOU and handed it to her.

Jing Yuheng glanced at it; it was the IOU she had signed, and she burned it on the spot.

"At last the debt is cleared, you know? After returning, I dared not delay even a moment; I gathered the materials for you, prepared some extra, spent considerable time, and finally found them."

"I rushed here nonstop to repay the money; I am someone who dislikes owing money and also dislikes owing favors."

"Your life-saving kindness, I will find a way to repay; in short, if you ever have a command, a simple matter, I, Jing Yuheng, will certainly come to repay the favor."

She stood up, clasped her hands, and spoke seriously.

This is her attitude; the life-saving kindness is too great, it can only be repaid slowly.

Those spirit stones and materials are merely a thank-you gift, not the favor itself.

They also represent the favor.

A life-saving kindness is not so easily repaid; Jing Yuheng is not the kind of ungrateful person, and moreover, this person before her is not simple, she dare not do that.

Not long ago, this person killed a being that had descended from Tianwai; that person's strength, even on the Fifth Heavy Mountain, was still slain.

This matter, within the dynasty, many Strong Ones know of it; it is not a secret.

Around Longshe Cheng, many forces have also dwindled; those people dare not interfere, nor covet Longshe Cheng and Longshe Shan, unless they are stronger than the people of Tianwai.

"A trivial matter, not worth mentioning."

"No."

Jing Yuheng retorted: "To you it's a small matter, but to me it's a life-saving kindness, cannot be forgotten."

"I, Jing Yuheng, will not forget it; I will never forget it in this lifetime."

Chen Chuyang waved his hand; however she thinks, he has the things in hand, the rest he doesn't care about.

This woman still has other things to say; the person outside, however, came with her.

Chen Chuyang wants to see how long she will endure before revealing the purpose of this visit; besides repaying money, she has another aim.

That person's strength is not weak; stronger than Jing Yuheng, and possesses a remarkable divine ability that can conceal their aura, making their presence undetectable.

All of this, in Chen Chuyang's eyes, is very clear.

Outside Longshe Shan, anything he wanted to know, he could see.

His soul had grown strong, and naturally it could extend outward.

The surroundings, everything around, Chen Chuyang knew it very well; any slight change, he knew.

Jing Yuheng would occasionally look at Chen Chuyang, wanting to speak but stopping himself.

And Chen Chuyang sat in place, motionless.

Not the least bit curious, nor did he ask; he was too calm.

After a moment.

Jing Yuheng was defeated by Chen Chuyang's attitude, and he said, "Someone wants to talk with you."

"Who?"

Chen Chuyang asked knowingly.

"It's the person behind me; she wants to talk with you, and she's outside."

Jing Yuheng stared at Chen Chuyang, discovering he remained very calm.

In his mind, Jing Yuheng thought of a possibility: that this person before him had long known the people outside.

Isn't that so?

Thinking this, Jing Yuheng couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air; the person behind her was not weak in strength, and her divine abilities were even more mysterious.

Wanting to hide, but few could discover her.

Moreover, she had not entered Longshe Shan, precisely to prevent this.

Unexpectedly, she was still discovered.

"You discovered this long ago?"

Chen Chuyang smiled and said, "From the moment you appeared within the forested area of Longshe Shan, I noticed you."

"I have to say, the woman who followed you is quite impressive; her divine abilities are extraordinary, and if I weren't familiar with the surroundings, I might have been deceived by her."

That kind of divine ability—hiding oneself, masking one's aura—is far inferior to his method of restraint.

Yet in this world, it counts as a marvelous divine technique.

Compared to her, the Yin Gui Sect's techniques appear insignificant.

The aura is proper and upright, not the Yin Gui Sect's gloomy ghostly qi.

"You..."

Jing Yuheng's pupils contracted; he really knew, and he also discovered the true identity of His Highness.

This is not as simple as a mere discovery.

This person is even more terrifying.

"Inside and outside Longshe Shan, no one can escape my observation."

"Some people always think they can evade my eyes; actually, I'm too lazy to bother with them, as long as they don't intrude into Longshe Shan, I ignore them."

"The person behind you is very cautious, and did not follow you into Longshe Shan."

Chen Chuyang stood up and looked outward.

He pointed a finger, and the formation opened a gap.

The woman outside raised her head and met Chen Chuyang's gaze.
