Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing crouched down; his right fingertips had just touched the glossy black fur when the black cat's whole body stiffened slightly, a trace of wariness flashing through its heterochromatic eyes, then it promptly feigned a docile appearance, rubbing against his palm, looking exceptionally well-behaved.

"This……"

"Could it be my luck has turned?"

"Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I used Spirit Finger!"

As Xu Zhangqing pondered, a streak of golden spiritual light lit up in the distance.

He immediately looked over and saw a sword light tearing through the sky, its speed extremely fast.

A sweep of his divine sense revealed that atop it were surprisingly Mo Yuan, Zhao Ziyue, and several completely unfamiliar faces; however, judging from their auras, they should all be Golden Core Stage.

Seeing this, Xu Zhangqing hurriedly went up to meet them.

Zhao Ziyue spoke first: "Lao Xu, weren't you going to the front line battlefield?"

Xu Zhangqing explained: "The situation there isn't right; not just me, all Golden Core Stage cultivators have to stay away."

Mo Yuan blanked for a moment, asking with shock and doubt: "What exactly is the situation?"

Xu Zhangqing patiently told everything he knew.

The gist was that the Huang Quan Alliance had gone insane; to help Demon God Chi Ye break the seal, they used the entire Black Rust Imperial Palace as a sacrificial offering, forcibly extracting the underground spirit veins.

Now Demon God Kong Fang has united the Three Great Immortal Sects, along with numerous cultivation forces, preparing to stop this from happening, and incidentally deal with the Huang Quan Alliance.

In short, the development of events has become increasingly fantastical.

"What?"

"Demon God reincarnation?"

"The Black Rust Imperial Palace was sacrificed?"

After hearing this, all of them were utterly shocked.

Mo Yuan revealed an unbelieving expression: "The Huang Quan Alliance actually sacrificed an entire imperial palace?"

Zhao Ziyue swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Originally thought it was just a demon race invasion, never expected they'd make such a huge mess!"

The person at the side appeared thoughtful: "This indeed isn't something we can meddle in."

Xu Zhangqing was quite curious: "What did you come for?"

Mo Yuan replied: "You and True Lord Ling Xuan are the first batch of reinforcements; I, your friend here, and these few belong to the second batch."

Xu Zhangqing waved his hand: "No need to go now."

Mo Yuan fell silent.

Zhao Ziyue, on the other hand, wore a relaxed look.

The other several people all had varied expressions; some looked relieved, some slightly bewildered.

Xu Zhangqing mused: "Like this, let's first return to the gathering point, then wait for news from that side, see whether reinforcements are needed later.

If not, we'll do whatever we should do."

"Right!"

Once these words came out, they gained everyone's agreement.

Afterward, they boarded Xu Zhangqing's Broken Moon Flowing Frost, and everyone returned together to the gathering point.

Zhao Ziyue glanced at the black cat in the corner: "Lao Xu, is this your new pet?"

Xu Zhangqing didn't explain much, merely giving a simple "Mm."

Zhao Ziyue reached out with interest to tease it, but this little black cat completely ignored him, not even sparing a glance.

……

……

Central Region, Dongting Immortal Sect gathering point.

After landing, aside from Zhao Ziyue, Mo Yuan and the others departed one after another.

Hu Bugui was idling with Miao Huayu when he saw both of them return, a little black cat in tow; he found it somewhat unbelievable: "What's going on?"

Xu Zhangqing couldn't be bothered to explain; clutching the little black cat he walked aside: "Lao Zhao, you explain."

Zhao Ziyue had no choice but to explain briefly.

Both of them stared wide-eyed after hearing it, obviously stunned by this news.

At the side, Xu Zhangqing saw the little black cat was very weak, so he took out some milk wine to feed it.

At first Chi Ye drank quite happily, smacking its lips from time to time.

But as it drank, its vision suddenly began to blur, its consciousness gradually growing muddled.

It thought in utter bewilderment: "This cat is…… drunk on milk?"

Not long after, its head tilted and it fell asleep.

Miao Huayu found it cute, immediately came forward and asked: "Senior Brother Xu, can I pet your new pet?"

Xu Zhangqing casually tossed it over: "Take it and play."

Toward this little black cat of unknown origin, he was very vigilant.

He planned to wait until returning to the immortal sect, then test it a little, see what its situation really was.

Miao Huayu grinned, immediately hugged it in her arms, petting it while praising how cute it was.

After a while, Hu Bugui couldn't help asking: "Lao Xu, are we continuing to wait now, or returning to the immortal sect?"

Xu Zhangqing pondered for a moment: "Like this, after Senior Brother Zhang arrives, if the front line battlefield still has no news, we will immediately return to the immortal sect."

Regarding this, Hu Bugui and Zhao Ziyue nodded simultaneously.

As for Miao Huayu, she was already immersed in the joy of petting the cat, unable to extricate herself.

At this time, Xu Zhangqing changed the subject: "Rather than dazing here, we might as well change to another place."

Hu Bugui's eyes brightened: "Go where?"

Xu Zhangqing glanced outside, seeing the sky color was still early: "Previously, San Cai Senior Brother told me, a thousand li east of the gathering point, there is a place called Chi Yan Valley.

Without surprise, inside there are three Chi Yan Dragon Lingzhi about to mature."

This is one of the main materials for refining Nascent Soul Pills.

Why not take this opportunity to make a trip, first get them in hand.

Later, if we don't need to go to the front line battlefield, then bring them back to the immortal sect.

Hu Bugui excitedly rubbed his hands: "Then depart now, I've really grown bored staying in this place, neither daring to go out, nor having anything else to do."

Xu Zhangqing looked at Zhao Ziyue, Miao Huayu: "What about you two?"

Zhao Ziyue shrugged: "I have no problem."

Miao Huayu still lowered her head, as if she hadn't heard.

Xu Zhangqing was speechless for a moment, could only call out: "Junior Brother Yu!"

Miao Huayu finally recovered from shock, expression slightly blank as she asked: "What's wrong?"

Xu Zhangqing said impatiently: "We plan to go out, do you want to come together?"

Miao Huayu hesitated: "Then... can I bring the cat along?"

Xu Zhangqing didn't mind: "Up to you."

Immediately, the four people rose and left the resting place.

When they arrived outside, the entire gathering point was exceptionally lively.

Without surprise, it should be that news from the front line battlefield had spread over.

Xu Zhangqing saw many people soaring into the air, however they were not reinforcements.

Judging by the direction, they should be returning to the immortal sect.

However, Xu Zhangqing was not anxious at all, immediately summoned Broken Moon Flowing Frost, then brought the other three people flying toward Chi Yan Valley.

Xu Linshan joined the logistics, currently has a task, therefore cannot get away.

Spirit Rong Night, Lu Wu, Yu Shi three people, have already entered Shan Zhen Mi Jing.

Li Sancai belongs to Li Lingbi's team, naturally would not follow along together.

Unknown how long passed, Xu Zhangqing keenly perceived the surrounding temperature changing.

The further forward, the more scorching hot.

Without surprise, should have arrived near Chi Yan Valley.

Hu Bugui pointed in a direction, excitedly saying: "Is it there?"

Xu Zhangqing looked, seeing in the distance a continuous undulating gray ash mountain range.

Using the map Wan Niang gave, can see this place's name is "Fen Tian Shan Mai".

In the depths, seemingly is a valley entrance.

It is flanked by two towering red rock cliffs a hundred zhang high.

The rocks on the cliffs have been baked charred black by years of high temperature, wind blowing out from the valley carries a pungent sulfur smell.

Xu Zhangqing slightly nodded: "Should have arrived!"
