Chapter 45 Heading to Jinxia Cave on Yuquan Mountain
Yuan Hong was the first to come to his senses and glanced at Dai Li and the other six strange men.
"You have heard what our master said."
"We must not let him down!"
Upon hearing this, Dai Li and the other six demons nodded in agreement.
In the past, the Seven Freaks would probably have simply stayed in Meishan and been content with the status quo.
But things are different now.
They worshipped the Lord and joined Chen Changsheng's ranks.
What they had behind them was the great tree of the Jie Sect.
In addition, Chen Changsheng had previously bestowed upon them a flower of heaven and earth.
After refining and absorbing it, their strange strength has improved.
Especially the eldest brother, Yuan Hong, whose cultivation level has broken through to the mid-stage of the Xuanxian realm.
With such a background, coupled with the improvement in their cultivation, the ambitions of the Seven Monsters of Meishan were naturally ignited.
Crucially, there's also Chen Changsheng's support!
"Brother, don't worry!"
"We will do everything in our power to develop and strengthen our forces."
"When the owner returns, we'll give him a surprise!"
Zhu Zizhen said with high spirits.
With Chen Changsheng as their backer, they had higher aspirations.
Even if Chen Changsheng hadn't said those words before leaving, he would never again be a small, isolated force.
Yuan Hong nodded, his heart filled with anticipation and expectation.
I'm planning to get my brothers and roll up our sleeves and get this done!
……
On the other hand, after leaving Meishan, Chen Changsheng did not immediately synthesize and use the treasure map.
Over the years of signing in, he has accumulated thousands of level-one treasure maps.
Previously, when I synthesized a level 4 treasure map, it only consumed a thousand level 1 treasure maps.
In addition, it has a level 7 treasure map that has not yet been used.
Chen Changsheng did not plan to open the level seven treasure map so soon.
Although his cultivation has now reached the Golden Immortal level.
However, opening such a high-level treasure map requires caution.
After all, no one knows what kind of powerful figures will be attracted when the treasure appears, so it is best to be careful!
"I wonder how my brother-in-law is doing these days?"
Chen Changsheng muttered to himself, thinking of Yang Jian.
Since their parting at Guanjiangkou, he had the opportunity to become an apprentice while treasure hunting.
Finally, he successfully became a disciple of Zhao Gongming, the senior disciple of the outer sect of the Jie Sect.
In the blink of an eye, more than a decade has passed.
Others may not know, but Chen Changsheng knows very well.
Yang Jian must have become a disciple of the Jade Cauldron Immortal of the Chan Sect.
The Taoist temple of Master Yuding is located in Jinxia Cave on Yuquan Mountain.
Chen Changsheng's purpose in going there was to see how Yang Jian was doing now.
……
Time flies.
One month later.
Chen Changsheng arrived at Guanzhou.
This place, also known as Guanjiangkou, is where Chen Changsheng lived with Yang Chan and others.
He was going to Yuquan Mountain, and since Guanjiangkou was on the way, he naturally wanted to take a look, which could be considered a return visit to an old haunt.
As Chen Changsheng arrived at his former residence, his gaze swept over the area.
The former villa had long since turned to ashes and was in ruins.
This used to be their family's home.
Chen Changsheng stared intently at the scorched earth before him, and memories flooded his mind like a tide.
More than ten years ago, this place was filled with laughter and joy, and he lived happily with Yang Chan and others.
As he reminisced, a smile involuntarily appeared on Chen Changsheng's face.
"That was such a heartwarming time!"
Immediately afterwards, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a cold and stern expression.
They used to live happily together as a family.
But with the arrival of the heavenly soldiers and generals, everything changed!
Not only were their homes destroyed, but their families were also separated.
"If the heavenly soldiers had not appeared."
"Perhaps Ah Chan and I already have children around us?"
Chen Changsheng couldn't help but sigh.
The thought of the Heavenly Court ignited a raging fire of anger within him!
"The Heavenly Court!"
"You just wait!"
"One day, I will ascend to the heavens and shatter the heavens!"
Chen Changsheng was filled with resentment, and naturally had no goodwill towards the Heavenly Court.
Just then, a shout suddenly rang out:
"Brother Changsheng?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng turned his gaze and looked out in the direction of the sound.
Upon closer inspection, they saw a graceful woman standing not far away.
The woman appeared to be in her early twenties, with delicate and pretty features, and was carrying a vegetable basket in her hand.
"Little girl?"
After a brief look, Chen Changsheng was slightly surprised.
He could tell at a glance that the woman in front of him was the neighbor's maid, one of the few people he knew in this world.
Chen Changsheng remembered that when the calamity struck, this girl was just a little girl. Now she has grown into a beautiful and graceful young woman.
"Truly, Brother Changsheng!"
At this moment, Xiao Ya exclaimed in surprise and quickly ran towards Chen Changsheng.
As she approached, she stared at Chen Changsheng with an incredulous expression.
She was filled with doubt. More than ten years had passed, yet Chen Changsheng's appearance had not changed at all; he was still just as she remembered.
Before Chen Changsheng could even speak, Xiao Ya excitedly exclaimed:
"Brother Changsheng!"
"I...I thought you were dead!"
Chen Changsheng smiled slightly, offering no explanation.
At this moment, Xiaoya's eyes were already brimming with tears, and she continued:
"When the fire struck, everyone in the village rushed to put it out, but it burned for ten days and ten nights straight, and nothing we did could extinguish it!"
"Later, everyone said that your whole family died, and that you had offended the immortals, which is why you were punished by heaven."
"But... I don't believe it!"
At this point, Xiaoya couldn't help but shed tears, sobbing as she said:
"Sister Yang Chan and her family are all very kind. How could they have offended immortals and now be punished by heaven?"
The more she talked, the more heartbroken the little girl became.
Upon seeing this, Chen Changsheng felt a warmth in his heart.
More than ten years have passed, and Xiaoya is still heartbroken over what happened between them back then.
They didn't believe the rumors, which moved Chen Changsheng.
He paused for a moment, smiled slightly, and gently patted the little girl's shoulder, saying:
"Alright, you're still just as prone to crying as you were when you were little. You're a big girl now."
Hearing Chen Changsheng's words, Xiaoya calmed down a little.
"Brother Changsheng, are Sister Yang Chan and the others... really dead?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng gently comforted him:
"Don't worry! They're all fine, they're just far away right now."
"Really?"
The little girl stopped crying and started laughing, her eyes shining brightly.
In her eyes, Yang Chan's family were all extremely kind, and she naturally didn't want to see them die like that.
Chen Changsheng nodded and murmured an "Mmm":
"certainly."
"Alright, little girl, I'm leaving now."
"If fate allows, we will meet again in the future."
When Xiao Ya heard Chen Changsheng say he was leaving, a hint of reluctance flashed in her eyes, but she still waved goodbye to Chen Changsheng with tears in her eyes.
