C314 It Was a Secret
It swept up the fallen leaves and dust all over the ground, covering the sky and blocking out the sun, concealing the figures of the two people who had just exchanged blows.
The group of people at the foot of the mountain raised their heads with all their might, but their eyes were still wide open in shock as they looked at the scene at the halfway point of the mountain.
"Om!" Suddenly, a muffled groan resounded, and the drifting dust drifted once more.
Swish!
At the same time, the battle ring that was covered up was revealed once more.
Swoosh! Suddenly, a human figure rolled backward and crashed into the dust leaf that had yet to completely disperse. It flew more than ten meters away before landing on the treetop.
However, it was unable to stabilize its body. In an instant, it fell from the treetop and took a few steps to stabilize its body.
The fallen leaves fell, and the black cloth covering its face also rolled up along with the fallen leaves.
A light bloody wound appeared on the pale corner of his lips.
Xiao Chen flicked his sleeves and placed his arm behind his back. He ignored the masked man and looked at the woman calmly.
"I remember now. You are..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the woman's eyes suddenly darkened. Then, a cold lightning shot out.
She extended her jade-like hand and suddenly rushed forward, blocking Xiao Chen's words with her attack.
Xiao Chen naturally didn't dare to be careless. He swallowed his words and raised his hand to meet the attack, forcing the girl's palm wind to disperse.
Just as he was about to give chase, the girl suddenly turned around and took two steps to the side of the young Upper Envoy who was lying on the ground. She raised her hand and made a grabbing motion.
"Let's go!" After saying that word, the woman did not stay any longer. She flew up and flew towards the forest in the southwest.
At this moment, the masked man had already suppressed a trace of depression in his heart. He fiercely glared at Xiao Chen and quickly turned around.
"You want to escape now? Have you asked me!?"
Old Man Upper Envoy's face was filled with fury. He immediately dashed out and chased after the southwest jungle.
Although the old man was injured, his speed was still surprisingly fast.
Xiao Chen furrowed his brows and silently watched the three men's backs. He had no intention of chasing after them.
He had already remembered that woman just now. Wasn't that the person in the portrait that he found someone to draw in Yanjing?
Although so many years had passed and there was no longer any trace of childishness on the woman's face, no matter her age or appearance, it suited her.
"A person who sold pill furnaces in Yanjing, but now he has become the New World Alliance's lackey!"
Xiao Chen muttered to himself, his mind was filled with a lot of questions.
It was not that he did not want to catch the man and ask him about it, but he was not sure if there were any survivors of New World Alliance around.
He was worried about leaving Ruan Xiangjun, Zhang Xiaoxiao, and the others here.
After all, his opponent was at the Houtian realm. If he used all his strength to escape, even if he could catch up, he didn't know how far he would have to chase after them.
Just as he was in deep thought, the forest rustled. The old man who had just jumped out turned around gloomily.
It seemed like this fellow had not been overwhelmed by anger yet.
Xiao Chen was not surprised that he had returned so quickly.
Four eyes met. The old man let out a heavy sigh and walked over.
"Thank you, little brother, for your help!"
"If you want to thank me, you don't need to say it." Xiao Chen waved his hand and looked at the old man.
The old man could not help but smile with a smile and greed in his eyes.
He stretched his hand into his bosom and took out a jade bottle. He handed it to Xiao Chen with a pained expression on his face.
Xiao Chen immediately opened the bottle and glanced at the pill inside.
The fragrance of the pill was rich. Although the quality was not considered good, there were few impurities. Even if it was not a high grade, it still had the quality of a middle grade medicinal pill.
No matter what, it was still much better than what the Medicine King's Valley took out.
"Sure enough, that fellow from the Medicine King's Valley came here specifically to swindle things."
After muttering to himself, Xiao Chen hesitated for a moment, then he stuffed the medicine bottle into his hand and threw it back to the old man.
"Forget about this thing." With Xiao Chen's skill in alchemy, he really did not want such a high-quality pill.
"But in my entire body, the only thing that I can take out is this..."
The old man was a little depressed. He had kept things that he was cautious of, but he did not expect Xiao Chen to throw them back like trash.
"Compared to this thing, I prefer materials. Spiritual herbs, spiritual mines, anything."
Xiao Chen grinned and smiled. He rubbed his fists and looked full of anticipation.
Seeing this, the bitter smile on the old man's face became even more intense. He had put that thing in the sect, so how could he carry it with him?
However, as he smiled, the old man's expression suddenly changed, and he said in surprise, "You also know how to refine pills?"
"This is a secret. Alright, it's fine if you don't have it." Xiao Chen smiled mysteriously, but it was no different from admitting it.
The old man looked at him and his lips twitched. He had a look of disbelief on his face and could not come back to his senses.
"What's wrong?"
"Ah, no, it's nothing!" The old man laughed dryly. He blinked and his gaze suddenly sank.
He thought that he had concealed his gaze very well, but it still fell into Xiao Chen's eyes.
Suddenly, he recalled what he had said to that fellow from the Medicine King's Valley. He quietly touched the storage ring with his finger.
"I'm too proud of myself. Could it be that this old man has also contacted that traitor from the Medicine King's Valley?!"
Xiao Chen muttered silently in his heart, and a hint of killing intent quietly surged into his heart.
If it was necessary, he could not rule out the possibility of killing this old man.
Currently, he didn't have any thoughts of fighting the Hidden Sect. At least, he wouldn't have any thoughts of fighting them until he broke through to the Golden Core realm.
That flash of killing intent caused the old man's face to turn slightly cold, and he immediately laughed out loud.
"It's really fate. Little brother not only saved this old man's life, but also knows how to concoct pills! If I had known that little brother had such a thing, I wouldn't have looked for those bastards from the Medicine King's Valley! I might have to trouble little brother in the future!"
This old man was obviously a smart person. He laughed and said, not avoiding Xiao Chen's gaze.
Xiao Chen's eyes fiercely shrank and deeply swept across the old man's face. After looking at him for a long time, he burst into laughter.
They tacitly did not say much about this matter. Xiao Chen turned his head and glanced around.
After a day of fighting, there was no need for them to continue hiding. They lit a bonfire in the forest.
However, with the sudden chaos, no one took care of the fire. With the addition of rolling stones and falling wood, the fire was almost extinguished.
The air in the valley was exceptionally humid, so not having these bonfires cause a fire could be considered a great blessing in misfortune.
However, the smell of blood that was wrapped in the air did not disappear. It continued to waft and stain the air with humidity. It was a little suffocating.
A ray of light suddenly appeared in the sky. This long night seemed to have finally come to an end.
Xiao Chen did not stay any longer in the mountain. He called out to those who had been rescued and quickly left the poisonous fog in the forest.
He landed on the mountain top and faced the rising sun. He looked down and his eyes suddenly flashed with suspicion.
