Chapter 22: Something Strange
Editor: Atlas Studios
After being attacked by Yu Chen, Ning Yan couldn't help but lower her head deeply and doubt herself. Am I really that stupid?
However, Ning Yan quickly regained her composure and followed Yu Chen's instructions to throw the egg away.
The moment the egg left her hand, Ning Yan felt someone grab her shoulder. Then, the scene around her kept receding.
As expected… the dragon didn't come after her anymore. Instead, it went to catch the egg.
…
Hunyuan Sect, Blood Pool.
The sect master and the law enforcement elders gathered here in order to observe the changes in their surroundings.
Feng Changchun sensed the abnormality of the Blood Fiend Demon and immediately announced to the crowd, "An abnormality has occurred in the blood pool. Saint Chen Yu's mission is canceled. From today onwards, he is the fourth Saint of our Hunyuan Sect."
"Also, Elder Tian Chong, please find Chen Yu and his junior sister and bring them back to the sect."
Everyone could clearly see that three Thousand Mile Talisman had been used.
Therefore, everyone knew that Chen Yu and his sister, Chen Yan, were not dead. They had just been teleported elsewhere.
Although Tian Chong was old, his skin was like a baby's. His white hair was combed back, revealing a calm face.
Dressed in a white robe, he exuded a calm aura. Hearing the sect master's order, he nodded slightly. "Yes."
In the next second, Tian Chong's figure turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the horizon.
Feng Changchun then ordered methodically, "There's an abnormality in the blood pool. All Hunyuan Sect disciples are not allowed to approach the blood pool."
"Core elders of the Demon Suppressing Hall and everyone ranked above, enter the blood pool to investigate."
"The Sacred World Hall will quickly restart the array formation around the blood pool…"
…
After escaping the pursuit of the fourth realm demon, Yu Chen and Ning Yan heaved a sigh of relief.
But they were still facing an endless primeval forest.
They didn't even know where they were currently at .
So they had no idea which way to go.
All they could do was run in one direction until night fell.
Along the way, the two of them relied on Yu Chen's 'Psionic Perception' to avoid countless demons. Their situation could be said to be extremely difficult.
At night, the two of them cooperated well. Ning Yan started a fire and Yu Chen caught a few wild animals.
Under Yu Chen's surprised gaze, Ning Yan quickly skinned the wild animals and drained their blood. Then, she skillfully took out various condiments from her storage ring.
Looking at the sizzling meat that was roasted until it was golden, Yu Chen couldn't help but exclaim, "I didn't expect your culinary skills to be so good."
Ning Yan confidently said, "Of course!"
However, Yu Chen felt strange.
That's right!
In the novels that Yu Chen had read in his previous life, he was usually the one to show off his culinary skills and then capture the hearts of beautiful women with roasted meat.
Why was it the other way around here?
Cough cough… In fact, it was not completely the other way around. After all, Yu Chen's heart had not been captured by Ning Yan.
Before long, the roasted meat was cooked.
The two of them started feasting. Their table manners were as horrendous as they could be, and they did not care about their image at all.
After eating and drinking his fill, Yu Chen lay on the tree trunk and looked at the bright moon.
It was good to transfer your consciousness to an avatar. Not only could you move freely, but you could also eat such delicious food.
It was his main body in the prison who was still bitterly studying the Talent Tree.
At that moment, a small black dot appeared on the center of the moon.
The little black dot kept lowering itself and turned into a human shape in the blink of an eye.
Before Yu Chen and Ning Yan could react, they saw a celestial being descending from the sky.
When the two of them saw the person's attire, they couldn't help but exclaim, "Celestial being!"
It couldn't be helped. Elder Tian Chong was already an immortal. He had been misunderstood countless times.
Tian Chong glanced at Yu Chen and Ning Yan and asked, "Chen Yu, where's your junior sister?"
Yu Chen revealed a sad expression. "An accident happened in the blood pool. I shouldn't have brought her there! It's all my fault…"
As he spoke, Yu Chen squeezed out a tear, leaving Ning Yan dumbfounded.
Wasn't she… Yu Chen's junior sister?
Wait…
She had already removed her makeup, so she was now Ning Yan and not Chen Yan.
Elder Tian Chong did not probe further when he heard this. Instead, he looked at the other person beside Yu Chen and the corners of his mouth curled up.
With his strength, how could he not tell that Yu Chen was pretending?
Besides, the aura of the woman beside Yu Chen was exactly the same as the woman he had seen last time.
It was a little fishy, but Tian Chong didn't care.
"Chen Yu, you have now become the Saint of the Hunyuan Sect. Come back to the sect with me."
Tian Chong waved his hand and summoned a wooden airship floating in midair.
…
"Thank you, Elder."
"Thank you, Elder."
After returning to the sect, Yu Chen and Ning Yan thanked Tian Chong.
Tian Chong didn't respond. He just disappeared into thin air.
Ning Yan sighed and said, "Are all the law enforcement elders so cold?"
Yu Chen analyzed, "Perhaps only Elder Tian Chong is like this?"
Tian Chong, the Law Enforcement Elder of the Hunyuan Sect's most prominent hall, was extremely powerful.
Unfortunately, he was a little aloof.
"Oh, right. Congratulations on becoming a Saint."
Ning Yan came to Yu Chen's side with a smile.
Yu Chen glanced at her and said, "Aren't you going back to your quarters first?"
Ning Yan was already a core disciple of the Hunyuan Sect to begin with and had her own quarters.
So why was she still following Yu Chen?
Ning Yan lowered her head shyly and stammered, "Senior, can you let me stay at your place for a few days?"
Yu Chen was a Saint and should be given a mountain to cultivate on.
There had to be a place for her in a place that big.
Yu Chen was puzzled. "Why?"
Ning Yan explained, "Senior, have you forgotten? I'm being targeted by Wang Yun."
Yu Chen said, "This is the Hunyuan Sect. As long as you don't get framed by Wang Yun, he won't attack you directly."
"Besides, I may be the Saint, but I have just become the Saint. I don't have my own place yet. I can only stay in the guest room tonight."
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice sounded.
"Lord Saint, I'm here to help you to choose a place to stay.
Yu Chen was speechless.
Ning Yan looked at Yu Chen pleadingly.
'Well, if you don't mind, what inconvenience can I have?'
Yu Chen had no choice but to agree.
…
That person was an outer sect elder.
Ordinary outer sect elders could not manage the Saint's matter, but today was an exception because of the abnormal change in the blood pool.
Therefore, the sect master sent an outer sect elder to explain the rules to Yu Chen.
The outer sect elder said, "Lord Saint, the Saint of our Hunyuan Sect can freely choose a suitable place to cultivate. There are a total of 126 empty mountains now, among which there are five common spiritual veins."
"Lord Saint can choose a suitable spiritual mountain suitable to your spiritual power to live in. You can also name the spiritual mountain."
"In addition, these are the Saint's sect tokens, basic resources, and this year's resources."
The Saint could obtain a portion of the sect's resources every day.
The outer sect elder took out an ancient and exquisite ring and handed it to Yu Chen.
Ning Yan stared at the ring and couldn't help but feel a little envious.
When could she become a saint?
