Chapter 126 Eyebrows
Something with powerful magic?
Chen An repeated the sentence to himself several times, but couldn't come up with an answer.
So he picked up the Chaos Beast. Rather than wasting time here, he figured he might as well hope the little guy could give him some hints.
"Little Chaos, follow the scent, find this person, and eat him, okay?"
The Chaos Beast looked up at Chen An, its big eyes filled with excitement. After touching Chen An's face with its nose, it jumped to the ground.
Chen An patted its head, secretly sent a message to Mu Jingtai and Fu Gui, and followed behind the Chaos Beast that was moving forward.
Seeing the little guy's determined look, Chen An couldn't help but get excited. The chances of success were pretty high.
Soon after, Mu Jingtai and Fugui arrived at her side.
"Chen An, I still think you should cultivate for a while longer. Something that can excite this thing like this must be difficult to deal with."
Fugui hovered in mid-air, contentedly licking its paws, yet still closely following behind the Chaos Beast.
Chen An scooped Fu Gui up and placed him on his shoulder, saying firmly, "Let's find him first. We don't necessarily have to go this time. If that bastard's aura dissipates after this, it won't be so easy to find him."
Fu Gui nodded noncommittally, shifted his position, and comfortably lay down on Chen An's shoulder.
The chaotic beast slowed down, hesitating at several intersections. As the group waited quietly for it to determine its direction, a crisp sound came from the woods.
It wasn't the sound of bones breaking, but it was still very eerie.
Chen An and Mu Jingtai exchanged a glance, both of them preparing to be on guard.
A lazy, weary voice came from the bushes. His face was quite unpleasant, but he put on an indifferent attitude: "Hey, hey, hey, there's no need for this. We're all family."
Chen An snorted coldly: "Who's family with you? Get lost if you don't want to die."
"Have you really forgotten me? I am Cui Ziliu. You used my power to kill Lu Yin, which made you famous in the cultivation world. If I tell you about this, will you be taken away as a demonic cultivator?" A cunning glint shot from his eyes, landing directly on Chen A.
Chen An stared at him coldly, her patience almost exhausted. She came here to find the murderer who killed her master, not to argue with him.
"I originally intended to keep you as a blood pack, but it seems unnecessary now. You'll have to go before I'm taken away as a demonic cultivator."
Even though Cui Ziliu was already at the Nascent Soul stage, he still shivered.
His strength was inferior to Lu Yin's, yet Chen An was able to kill Lu Yin. In addition, this woman somehow acquired the ability to steal his power, so it seemed that being killed was really easy.
But he didn't want to die. He had to find Qu Ze, no matter what.
"Wait, if you gentlemen don't mind, could you please take me with you?"
Fu Gui blocked Chen An's way, rolled his eyes at Cui Ziliu, and said sarcastically with a downturned smirk, "Going to my ass! Do you even know what we're going to do?"
"No matter what you're going to do, I'd be happy to accompany you. You two are both cultivators at the Yin-Yang Realm. Although Miss Chen'an is exceptionally talented, she might still be stopped by some ignorant fool. I may not be able to defeat you, but having the title of Nascent Soul stage cultivator will make things much easier and save you trouble."
Chen An disliked Cui Ziliu's pretentious act, but he didn't really want to kill the blood bag. He simply said, "Get lost."
Cui Ziliu forced a smile, tilted his head, nodded, and left.
At this moment, the Chaos Beast figured out where to go and started running, panting heavily.
Three days later, the Chaos Beast stopped in front of a large black mountain.
Apart from the presence of two living people, the stench in the mountains was so foul that it made one want to vomit.
No one knows how many innocent souls are buried here. The malevolent aura is overwhelming, turning into a hurricane that keeps swirling around the mountaintop.
When the hurricane roared, it swept up the bare bones, each one a testament to the sins of the people in the mountains.
Even the Chaos Beasts had already concealed their presence, but the thick resentment here would surely diminish their combat strength.
Chen An tentatively took the first step, and the hurricane that had been hovering on the mountaintop immediately dropped dozens of meters.
"This is bad. These resentful spirits might be someone deliberately trapping us here." Mu Jingtai narrowed his eyes, his gaze full of vigilance.
Chen An's eyes darkened upon hearing his words.
There is nothing that can trap resentment except for formations, and only cultivators from the Yihe Sect know how to use formations.
This includes Qing Yue, who injured Elder Ming San.
She gave Mu Jingtai a look, signaling him to relax, but then, feeling it wasn't enough, she said, "Let me try to see if I can break this thing."
"You're definitely capable. The people I value can't be bad." Fu Gui crossed his legs in mid-air, looking quite smug.
Although he pretended to be serious, Chen An still noticed his abnormality.
"Uncomfortable?"
Fu Gui sniffed and said calmly, "This great master will not be defeated by a little bit of corpse stench!"
While Chen An was breaking the formation, he took a moment to pat its head and said, "I understand."
As a tanuki from another world, Fugui's sense of smell is far superior to that of human cultivators, making the nauseating stench of corpses even more unbearable for him.
Fu Gui wanted to say something more, but suddenly realized that the smell had disappeared from in front of its nose. It stared at Chen An incredulously for a long time before finally seeing a ball of white power at the tip of its nose.
Well, it's divine power again. Although this thing is old-fashioned, it's incredibly convenient for dealing with demonic cultivators.
"Cough cough, this great one won't thank you." Fu Gui yawned, lazily landed on the ground, and transformed into human form.
Chen An curled his lips into a smile and said, "After breaking this formation, aren't you going to thank me?"
Fu Gui chuckled lightly, about to make a sarcastic remark, when Mu Jingtai, eager for revenge, bumped into him.
"Wait, I just thought of something. Didn't we say we didn't necessarily have to fight? Now that we've broken this formation, won't we alert them?"
Looking at Fugui, who seemed a bit fussy behind him, Chen An asked frankly, "If I were to die, would you turn back the way you came when you saw the person who killed me?"
Fu Gui said with a firm look in his eyes, "I definitely won't."
Chen An nodded. "Hurry up and follow."
Upon hearing this, Fu Gui no longer hesitated. Although the creatures living here were ridiculously strong, Chen An's words made sense. There was no reason to retreat when it came to avenging his family and friends.
However, Chen An didn't seem to say that before he set off...
Who cares? For Chen An, I'll give it my all!
Gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, Fu Gui's speed increased, even surpassing the Chaos Beast at the forefront.
The Chaos Beast really liked this place; the demonic energy here alone was enough for it to grow into a sub-adult beast.
But compared to demonic energy, the scent of the lord here is far too tempting for beasts. Just one bite, just one bite, and you'll be hooked.
"Chen'an."
As the group walked quickly forward, Qingyue's voice came from behind them.
That familiar voice was still as pleasant as ever, but this time, Chen An's hatred would not allow her to let the owner of that voice go.
In the instant he turned around, the ebony sword flew out along with the white dagger.
Two sharp weapons, one black and one white, pierced through Qingyue's body and stuck into the ground, clearing away the foul air that stretched for hundreds of meters.
Chen An stared at the familiar face, his expression turning cold, and Qing Yue's body began to dissipate.
