Chapter 1176: Forbidden Zone of Life

As for Chen Yu himself, unless someone is stronger than him, these people will not be able to tell that he is a Dharma Cultivator.

"What are you two doing? Going on a trip?" Tianxin looked at the two of them curiously.

"Are you checking our household registration?" Sanwei rolled her eyes at her; why was this woman asking so many questions?

"Hold your tongue, how dare you be rude to our master?" Several people behind Tianxin stepped forward in unison, radiating a powerful pressure.

Sanwei was not afraid; she glared at the group, not showing the slightest sign of weakness.

"Stand down," Tianxin said indifferently, and the people behind her then retreated.

It was just that the way the few of them looked at Sanwei and Chen Yu held a hint of warning.

"Of course not. If you were traveling, I would suggest you stop here and not go any further. Any further is the ruins of the Ancient Great Wilderness, and even in modern times, it is a forbidden zone for life," Tianxin said. "It is filled with danger; if ordinary people go inside, it is difficult to come back out."

What Tianxin said was not a lie. The area around the Cloud Void Realm is the ruins of the Ancient Great Wilderness. Even now, few people set foot in this place, and many ancient and mysterious creatures live inside that can directly take one's life.

Even for someone as strong as a Dharma Cultivator, walking inside here requires extreme caution; one slight mistake and it is highly likely one will be buried here.

"We aren't here to travel. This is my younger sister. Someone in our family is sick, and we need to find some medicine to use as an ingredient," Chen Yu lied casually.

"You understand medicine?" Tianxin asked curiously.

"Ancestral Traditional Chinese Medicine," Chen Yu said with a faint smile.

"Hmm, there are indeed many medicines inside that do not exist in the world of ordinary people. What illness does your family member have?" Tianxin asked again.

"He has a rare disease that requires a Flame Golden Beetle as a medicinal ingredient to be cured; otherwise, his whole body will fester, and he will eventually die," Chen Yu said.

"Flame Golden Beetle?" Tianxin looked up at Chen Yu, a trace of strangeness in her eyes.

One must know that the Flame Golden Beetle is a special insect that possesses spirit, is golden all over, carries a bit of gold on its body, and emits flames from its entire body; its medicinal value is extremely high.

Ordinary people certainly wouldn't know about these things, but Chen Yu could mention it so casually, which made her feel that Chen Yu was somewhat different.

"Yes, this kind of medicine cannot be bought in the secular world. A Divine Doctor gave us a folk prescription, but we are missing the medicinal ingredient," Chen Yu said.

"This thing is not an ordinary item; the place where it lives is fraught with danger, and the place you are going to is also full of danger," Tianxin said.

"Brother, what should we do? Dad's illness cannot be delayed any longer." Sanwei pouted, looking as if she were about to cry.

Chen Yu looked at Sanwei with some surprise. This girl got into character quite quickly, and her acting was full of substance; this aggrieved look would make anyone feel sorry for her.

At once, Chen Yu also sighed in a showy manner: "Let's try. If it really doesn't work, we can only leave it to fate. Although it is dangerous ahead, we have already arrived here and cannot back down."

"Brother..." Sanwei said tearfully, "Mom left a long time ago, and only Dad worked hard to raise us. Even if there is only a one-in-a-thousand chance, we must save him."

"Little sister, don't worry, our dad will be fine." Chen Yu looked at Sanwei affectionately, though he felt both amused and exasperated inside. This little girl was truly an Oscar-level actor; her performance had left Chen Yu speechless.

"How about this, you two siblings come with us," Tianxin sighed slightly. In her view, these two siblings were pitiful people who also possessed filial piety; since she had encountered them, she certainly had to help.

"Master, this won't do." A man was startled; he stepped forward and whispered, "The identities of these two are unknown. Who knows if they have other ulterior motives? Right now we know nothing about them; following us, I'm afraid..."

"It's fine, they are both ordinary people. Even if they have other intentions, our Seven Star Sect has so many experts, surely we aren't inferior to two ordinary people?" Tianxin smiled slightly; she did not take this matter to heart.

"But Master, we have other things to do on this trip, and bringing them along is very inconvenient. Furthermore, not far ahead of us is a forbidden zone for ordinary people; no ordinary person can walk out of there alive."

"Bamu, you are overthinking it. They are just going there to find some things," Tianxin said indifferently.

"We... won't cause you any trouble, will we?" Chen Yu asked cautiously. Honestly, traveling with these people wasn't impossible.

After all, it was very dangerous for him and Sanwei to disguise themselves as ordinary people and walk on this perilous road; it would be best if they could hide their identities.

"No, you can rest assured following us; you will definitely be able to find the things you like," Tianxin smiled slightly.

"Master..." Bamu looked at the two with a hostile gaze, then said in a deep voice, "I think you should reconsider."

"No need to reconsider. We are the Sect Leader of the Seven Star Sect; if any problems arise, I will take responsibility alone," Tianxin said indifferently. "You just need to do your own job."

Bamu's expression changed, but since Tianxin had said so, he was helpless and had to retreat silently.

Chen Yu expressed a strong interest in Tianxin's mount. After all, he had to pretend to be an ordinary person, and such a rare and exotic beast was a sight to behold, so he could only feign a look of intense interest to reflect his ordinariness.

And Tianxin seemed to be a warm-hearted person; she answered all of Chen Yu's questions and even invited Chen Yu to try the mount.

Chen Yu refused on the grounds of being afraid, and then the group set off.

On the road, Chen Yu learned about the origins of the Seven Star Sect. It was a sect of Dharma Cultivators from a blessed land somewhere in Shu City. They usually kept to themselves and did not have much contact with the major Dharma Cultivator families. As for Chen Yu asking about their itinerary, they remained tight-lipped about it.

After resting for a moment in this place, the group set off again. Except for Tianxin, everyone else was on foot, while Tianxin's exotic beast had an astonishing speed, sometimes leaping several yards at a time, leaving the others far behind.

"Who exactly are you?" During another rest, a gloomy and cold voice sounded behind Chen Yu.

Chen Yu turned back to look and saw it was Bamu. He had always been suspicious of Chen Yu and Sanwei, especially since Chen Yu's background was unknown and he had appeared so suddenly, which made him feel that Chen Yu had a strong ulterior motive.
