Chapter 420 Return
At the same time, deep in an abandoned side hall dozens of miles away from the main hall area of Taixu Palace.
The space distorted slightly, and the figure of the black-robed man holding Yun Chen appeared.
As soon as he landed, Yun Chen couldn't help coughing up another mouthful of blood. His face was as pale as paper and his breath was weak.
"Thank you so much for your help, Senior... May I ask..."
Yun Chen looked up at the mysterious man in black who had just saved him and spoke.
But he was stunned when he was halfway through his words.
The man in black quickly set up several simple restrictions around him to isolate the breath and prevent detection, then he lifted his hood.
Then she revealed a beautiful face, but now with a frosty expression.
"Second... Second Senior Sister? Why is it you?"
Yun Chen looked at the familiar beautiful face and was a little confused for a moment.
He never expected that the mysterious person in black robe who rescued him at this critical moment would be his second senior sister Bai Qingluo.
Bai Qingluo looked at him and couldn't help rolling his eyes: "I was just about to ask you, what's going on? Why are you being hunted by people from Taixu Palace?"
Yun Chen smiled bitterly upon hearing this and recounted his entire story.
Bai Qingluo's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he was speechless: "Just because of this? You ran away?"
"This is just... a subconscious reaction." Yun Chen scratched his head embarrassedly.
Given my status, I really shouldn't run away, but who knows if what they are talking about is confidential?
If that were the case, and I was caught and killed to silence the witness, where would I go to seek justice?
Bai Qingluo rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "The secret realm they're talking about is known to all Daoist disciples. It's not a secret. So what if he heard it? Can he still embarrass you because of this?"
"Senior Sister, you know this too?" Yun Chen looked at her curiously.
Bai Qingluo looked at him with a mixture of anger and amusement. While checking his injuries again, he explained, "That secret realm is called Meteorite Ruins. It's common knowledge among all disciples of the righteous sects. You've only been a disciple for a short time, so you don't know it."
She helped Yun Chen sit down against a broken pillar and continued, "The Meteorite Ruins are said to be special spatial fragments formed by the fall of stars in ancient times. Inside, there is a small world of its own, containing countless natural treasures, ancient heritage, and even the possibility of finding fragments of the core of a star."
"But the entrance is extremely unstable. It only opens once every ten years at a fixed location and time, and can only last for about half a month each time. Furthermore, only a maximum of one hundred people can enter at any one time."
Yun Chen suddenly realized that it was no wonder that even though Japan had great ambitions, the major sects insisted on holding the qualifying competition. It turned out that if you missed it, you would have to wait another ten years.
"The annual ranking competition actually determines the number of disciples who can enter the secret realm. The so-called resource allocation actually allocates the resources within the secret realm."
Bai Qingluo continued to explain.
"So... doesn't that mean we have great hope? After all, Second Senior Sister, you're at the Nascent Soul stage... I haven't heard of any Nascent Soul-level disciples of the same level..."
Yun Chen's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.
Bai Qingluo shook his head after hearing this. "You're overthinking it. Yuanying Stage disciples are not allowed to participate in the qualifying rounds, let alone enter the secret realm. This is a restriction. Besides... who told you that there are no Yuanying Stage disciples in other sects?"
Yun Chen: ? ?
"It's just that the Nascent Soul disciples of the major Taoist sects are all affiliated with the Taoist Alliance and rarely show up. It doesn't mean that they don't exist." Bai Qingluo said.
Yun Chen was secretly shocked when he heard this.
Is this Taoist tradition so against the will of heaven?
There are so many geniuses?
Already at the Nascent Soul stage at such a young age?
"Then what is that thing they are talking about?" Yun Chen suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly.
Bai Qingluo was stunned and a little surprised: "This... I'm not too sure..."
Yun Chen: ? ?
Seeing Yun Chen's "are you kidding me" expression, Bai Qingluo helplessly spread his hands: "Don't look at me like that, I really don't understand."
"Okay! Then Senior Sister Bai, why are you there so late at night?" Yun Chen asked again the question in his mind.
After all, Bai Qingluo arrived just in time. Normally, she should be resting in the quiet room now.
After hearing his question, Bai Qingluo's eyes flickered slightly.
"I was in a bad mood, so I went out for a walk and happened to meet him."
"In a bad mood? Coming out for a walk? Can you walk so far?" Yun Chen expressed his doubt.
Bai Qingluo didn't respond. Instead, he looked at Yun Chen and asked, "What about you, Junior Brother Yun? You're not sleeping at night and sneaking out alone... Are you planning to meet your lover?"
The corner of Yun Chen's mouth twitched, and he quickly waved his hands: "Second Senior Sister, don't say that casually. There's no such thing as a little lover."
"Who knows? After all, that Wan'er..."
Bai Qingluo's tone suddenly became sarcastic.
Yun Chen's heartbeat suddenly stopped.
Why does this feel so much like Ruoruo?
"Second Senior Sister, don't talk nonsense. Lin Wan'er and I are innocent. It's nothing."
"You'd better be alright. If you dare to let Ruoruo down, I'll castrate you."
Bai Qingluo's voice was very soft, and even had a hint of a smile in it, but those beautiful eyes were as sharp as a knife, staring at Yun Chen closely, as if he wanted to see through him from inside out.
A tangible chill instantly enveloped Yun Chen, causing him to subconsciously clamp his legs together and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.
He had no doubt that Second Senior Sister was definitely not joking!
"Second Senior Sister! Heaven and earth are my conscience!" Yun Chen immediately pointed to the heavens and swore, his expression as serious as it could be. "Heaven and earth can bear witness to my feelings for Ruoruo! I have absolutely no second thoughts!"
"It better be this way."
Seeing Yun Chen's face almost wrinkled with anxiety, the coldness in Bai Qingluo's eyes dissipated a little, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, are you okay with your injury?"
Bai Qingluo changed the subject at the right moment, and his tone returned to his usual cold tone.
Yun Chen shook his head: "It's nothing, just some minor injuries, it will be healed tomorrow."
As he spoke, he stood up from the ground and stretched his muscles.
He has the Divine Transformation Technique, which allows him to transform into a dragon at a critical moment. Besides, he has just recovered for a while and his injuries have almost healed.
Bai Qingluo nodded after hearing this: "That's good, otherwise it will affect tomorrow's qualifying match. Let's see how Master will deal with you then."
"By the way, we're all out now. I'm worried there might be problems with Ruoruo, so let's go back first."
Bai Qingluo changed the subject faster than Yun Chen expected, which surprised Yun Chen.
"it is good!"
Yun Chen nodded in agreement. He was indeed worried about Ruoruo being alone in the guest house.
The two of them said no more. Bai Qingluo put on his hood again to conceal his appearance and aura, and Yun Chen also restrained his own fluctuations.
Under the cover of night, they were like two shadows blending into the darkness, following the secret path they had planned when they came, and quietly returned towards the guest house of the Shenlei Palace.
Along the way, one could clearly feel that the security in Taixu Palace had become much stricter.
The frequency of the disciples' patrols increased, and some key intersections and commanding heights were vaguely scanned by powerful spiritual senses.
Obviously, Elder Xuanqing is searching for the "eavesdropping junior" and the "mysterious man in black robe" with all his strength.
