"Cangshan Secret Realm, a secret realm that cultivators from the Three Heavens can enter."
Leng Xingzhi looked at Chu Lingwei, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes, "Weiwei, why would you suddenly mention Cangshan Secret Realm?"
"A secret realm that even powerful cultivators from the Three Heavens can enter must be extremely dangerous."
Chu Lingwei couldn't help but confirm, that black-clothed man wouldn't want her to enter Cangshan Secret Realm to die, would he?
Why did he insist on her entering Cangshan Secret Realm? Was there something inside that she absolutely had to know?
Who exactly was that black-clothed man?
"Yes, Cangshan Secret Realm is extremely dangerous, and even ordinary Heaven Fusion Realm experts dare not enter it lightly." Leng Xingzhi nodded, looking at Chu Lingwei, "Weiwei, you don't mean you want to enter Cangshan Secret Realm, do you?"
"I..."
"You are not allowed to go, it is too dangerous there." Before Chu Lingwei could answer, Leng Xingzhi directly and decisively refused, "That place is full of deadly perils, and even an Ascendant Realm expert might not be able to come out safely."
"But if Heaven Fusion Realm cultivators can enter, it means there is hope of coming out alive, right?" Chu Lingwei tilted her head and looked at her senior brother, with his current cultivation, was he just right to enter Cangshan Secret Realm? "Senior Brother, will you enter when Cangshan Secret Realm opens?"
Leng Xingzhi turned his head and patted Chu Lingwei's head.
"Whether I enter or not is my business. As for you, you must not enter."
"Ouch, Senior Brother, you're patting too hard." Chu Lingwei rubbed her head, took a step back, her eyes moved, there were still three years, she wanted to use these three years to work hard to improve her cultivation and strive to reach the Heaven Fusion Realm.
Cangshan Secret Realm.
That black-clothed man wanted her to enter, he must have his reasons. These three years, she would first figure out who he was before making plans.
"Weiwei, don't overthink it." Leng Xingzhi looked at Chu Lingwei's expression and couldn't help but sigh, knowing that no one could stop her from going wherever she decided to go.
"Senior Brother, I'm a little tired and want to go back and rest."
Chu Lingwei turned back to her room, sat on the bed, thinking about the black-clothed men she met today, and the disappearance of their bodies. Was it their own doing, or was it her Senior Brother's deliberate arrangement?
"Weiwei, why doesn't Senior Brother tell you everything?" Feng Ming squatted beside Chu Lingwei, looking unhappy. Senior Brother was deliberately not telling Weiwei everything.
"Senior Brother has his reasons for not telling me, so you, you are not allowed to speak ill of Senior Brother behind his back." Chu Lingwei lightly tapped Feng Ming's head, truly not understanding why Feng Ming, who was most afraid of Senior Brother, was the one most opinionated about him.
"I'm not speaking ill of him, I just can't understand why Senior Brother would hide things from Weiwei. Isn't it better to tell Weiwei everything?"
Feng Ming looked puzzled. If she had anything, she would tell Weiwei everything as soon as possible.
Chu Lingwei didn't speak, stood up, and came to the window, watching the sky outside become increasingly gloomy. She knew that at this moment, a battle for power was unfolding in the City Lord's Mansion.
She thought that since leaving the Spirit Cultivation Academy, she felt as if she was being led into a dark room, where there were countless things, some true and some false, that she had to figure out for herself.
Chu Lingwei had a premonition that only after figuring out all these things would the mystery of her past be revealed.
"Weiwei, what do we do now? Shall we follow Senior Brother back?" Phantom Cat jumped to the window. The spiritual energy outside manifested as oppressive forces, capable of crushing the house they were in at any moment.
"Yes, at least we should go back first. It's too far from the South Sea Reef."
Chu Lingwei nodded. If they could go back, it would be best. Meng Qinghe had said that her father was now in the Xuanxin Sect, and she wanted to go to the Xuanxin Sect to see.
The entire night.
It was believed that no cultivator staying in Immortal Desert City slept. The sky above Immortal Desert City was filled with interweaving spiritual energies, and the people below were even more trembling. A slight carelessness could lead to them being implicated.
Early the next morning, Chu Lingwei heard that Immortal Desert City had returned to normal.
The streets were already filled with the cries of vendors, and cultivators came and went in hurried steps. Everything that happened yesterday seemed like an illusion.
"Senior Brother, what is going on?" Chu Lingwei lowered her voice and asked her Senior Brother who was sitting on the ground. He was always so calm and collected.
"Immortal Desert City has a new City Lord. This is a good thing."
Leng Xingzhi glanced at the new forces roaming Immortal Desert City, a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes. Such a small town like Immortal Desert City didn't warrant such a great commotion.
"That was fast."
Chu Lingwei couldn't help but sigh. Yesterday, the Zhuang family was in charge, and now their corpses were probably being fed to the dogs.
Life is unpredictable.
"Junior Sister, we'll set off tomorrow."
"Okay."
Chu Lingwei knew that her Senior Brother was very busy, and it was within her expectations that he wanted to go back.
"Senior Brother, what about those mine caves outside the city?"
"Those mine caves have been divided among the major sects here, and they will be managed by their own people separately. There shouldn't be as many problems in the future."
From the tone of her Senior Brother, she could tell that he knew about the things the Zhuang family had done.
"These people never seemed to care before."
Chu Lingwei grumbled softly. The sects here should have known about the things the Zhuang father and son had done, but they each minded their own business, staying out of it when it didn't concern them.
"No one is willing to step forward for something that brings no benefit." Leng Xingzhi turned his head and looked out the window.
"Senior Brother, I met a demonic soul, and he said his master was a god." Chu Lingwei thought of the demonic soul she saw in the mine cave and couldn't help but say, "Does God really exist in this world?"
Even if a Dominator Realm powerhouse faced their final tribulation, they couldn't be called a god, could they?
"There probably is."
Leng Xingzhi put down the spiritual tea in his hand and smiled, "Junior Sister, it seems I can't let you go out alone in the future."
"That won't do, I still have to go out and train alone in the future."
Whenever she went out alone, she would always be dragged back by her Senior Brother. This feeling was like going on a long journey but always encountering relatives.
It completely undermined the meaning of the journey.
The next day, Chu Lingwei boarded Leng Xingzhi's flying artifact and, piercing through the clouds, flew rapidly towards the south.
"Senior Brother, are we going back to the South Sea Reef now?"
"No, we are going directly back to the Spirit Cultivation Academy."
"Senior Brother, I don't want to go back now, I still have to find my father." Chu Lingwei did not want to return to the Spirit Cultivation Academy yet. Before she could find her father, no matter what, she had to see him.
