Chapter 69 - I Have Friends In High Places

“Let’s go. Chi Yi is waiting in front.” Mo Ye took Qi Huan’s hand and continued to walk forward. In their journey later, there were no more evil spirits, because they were so frightened of Qi Huan that they didn’t dare to get close to her at all, instead they all stopped far away from her.

“What did you do to them?” Although evil spirits were only resentful spirits, they were still quite powerful. After all, they were also resentful spirits condensed after the death of a cultivator. They could still think, but most of them were dominated by resentment so they were reborn to be bloodthirsty.

Qi Huan was really curious about what Mo Ye had just done for her to be able to keep those creatures away.

“That’s a secret.” Mo Ye stretched out his index finger and shook it in front of Qi Huan’s eyes. The corners of his mouth rose. He really liked to see her cheeks flushed red with irritation.

“Hmph, fine, I don’t really want to know anyway.” Qi Huan shook his hand that was holding hers, but not shaking it away.

It seemed that the road ahead was safer because the number of evil spirits gradually reduced even though the ground was still stained with blood. The temperature from Mo Ye’s palm also made Qi Huan a little calmer.

“You are such a scaredy cat, and yet you dare to run around outside on your own.” Seeing Qi Huan was so scared by the nine-headed golden horned python that had just died, hanging from a tree branch, that she almost sat on the ground, Mo Ye couldn’t help but sighed.

“You think I want to be here! I’m here to find the Fire Spirit, who knows that the thing is not here at all.” Qi Huan mumbled angrily, using extremely vicious words to curse Jue Jian, who had left this celestial abode and soared, countless times. : i.e., he knows people who are powerful and in an important position and are able to help him).”

“Tch!” Qi Huan snorted and turned her head away, thinking that Chi Yi was just trying to make a fool out of her. She didn’t notice, however, Chi Yi, who was in cold sweat behind her, let out a long sigh of relief.

It didn’t take long for Chi Yi to bring Qi Huan to the entrance of Yin Mountain. There were still some people walking in and out of the entrance of Yin Mountain a few days ago, but there were only a few people left now. Chi Yi lowered his flying sword in a corner, “My boss let you talk to your shifu first. He will pick you up later.”

She didn’t know when Mo Ye told Chi Yi about these things. She obviously didn’t see the two of them talking along the way. After instructing Qi Huan, Chi Yi turned and left, disappearing in a blink of an eye.

Qi Huan glanced at the direction where Chi Yi left, then turned and walked towards the little house that Kua Xu built. After entering the room, she realized that not only Uncle Kua Xu was inside, but even her shifu was also there.

“Shifu, how did you come back soon?” Qi Huan thought that Xu Kong Zi would come back later than her since he was also aftering the Splitting Sword. She didn’t expect him to be back faster than her.

“You stupid girl, I told you not to run around, you almost scared me to death.” Seeing Qi Huan skipping happily to him, Xu Kong Zi let out a long sigh of relief.

It turned out that after Xu Kong Zi separated from Qi Huan, he immediately gave up looking for the sword, instead he turned back to look for Qi Huan. Who knew that after turning back, he was inexplicably trapped at the bottom of a volcano. If it weren’t for his cultivation strength, that let him find the exit in the end, Qi Huan would be seeing the mummy of Xu Kong Zi now.

When he went out to continue looking for Qi Huan, the entrance to the celestial abode had been closed, and he had to go out of the passage and wait for her outside. Luckily, Qi Huan came back alive.
