The cold and rainy sky was filled with thick, inky clouds high above them, slowly churning, as if they were opening a door into the unknown.

The expressions on the faces of the people who managed to escape from the secret realm were quite ugly, especially when they looked at Song Jingyi who was being carried by Lin Shidi. Blue veins twitched on their foreheads and they could barely contain their desire to kill him right away.

Chu Yu quietly glanced at the others’ faces, and his heart was filled with a dark pleasure.

He could guess how complicated they all felt right now.

They had been forced to return without having achieved anything. One person had crippled himself. In the end, they were almost killed by a fellow disciple of the same sect. Most of all those people who followed closely behind Song Jingyi everyday had nothing to say. When they had been rescued by Xie Xi, the expressions on their faces were wonderful to behold.

This mission had gone really smoothly. Song Jingyi’s spirit veins had been crippled but Song Yuanzhuo wouldn’t even be able to say anything. After all, they had all these people as witnesses. No one who had been almost killed by Song Jingyi would dare to make unfounded accusations against Chu Yu to help Song Jingyi now.

After they returned, anyone would be able to tell at a glance whether it was Song Jingyi and Song Yuanzhuo or Chu Yu and Xie Xi who had fallen upon unlucky times.

However, Chu Yu simply wanted to let Song Jingyi cripple himself and become useless trash, not to create a demon. Song Yuanzhuo is up to something suspicious1 but he probably wouldn’t do anything in secret. In the end, regarding what Song Jingyi will do, it could only depend on other people.

“Shixiong…” Xie Xi’s soft voice came from behind him. Chu Yu turned around to look at him. Chu Yu hadn’t noticed when Xie Xi had managed to place himself behind Chu Yu again.

Without waiting for Xie Xi to come up with an excuse, Chu Yu smiled and said: “Are you tired? Or is your spiritual energy exhausted? Shixiong will take you with him. You can lean on me but don’t let your hands wander.”

After a pause, Chu Yu added, “You can’t let your mouth wander either.”

Xie Xi smirked then reached out to embrace Chu Yu’s waist, breathing in deeply to savor the fragrance of his body.

It was early morning when they had set out and it was already nighttime when they returned to Qing Tu. The day’s battles had already ended a while ago. The demonic and the righteous cultivators had a tacit understanding that at the end of each day they would put aside their weapons and return to their respective camps to rest and wait for the beginning of the next battle.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that the night was guaranteed to be peaceful at all. On the contrary, it was very likely to be the prime time to carry out a sneak attack.

Chu Yu spoke a few more words to the Chu family disciples as he told them to go return to camp by themselves since the day was almost over. If he were to return to the Chu family camp to rest, he would only be roused from his sleep by Xie Xi at midnight. Therefore, it would be better for him to stay at the Tian Yuan Sect.

The remaining senior disciples from the other peaks talked it over for a while then suddenly looked at Chu Yu. After a lot of shilly-shallying, they said: “Chu Shixiong, concerning Master Song… this matter regarding Song Jingyi, you…”

Chu Yu knew that this group of people wanted him to go with them to settle the matter so he coldly interrupted: “You should solve the problem by yourselves, I will not interfere..”
