Chapter 1031: Hiding
But in fact, Xiao Meng'er's face did not change at all from beginning to end, just looking at Xiao Chen quietly.
There was no change on her face, but it did not mean that she had no thoughts in her heart. She might have had ten thousand thoughts to kill Xiao Chen now.
The word "Meng'er" had to start from the Yellow Spring Valley. That time, Xiao Meng'er escaped from the forbidden area of the underground gods and demons, but the gods and demons had awakened at that time. She wanted to escape from the palm of the gods and demons. Even if Zi Yuan was pushed down by her, how difficult would it be to escape successfully? If she failed to escape, she would only die.
So at that time, she did not hesitate to use all her immortal energy to break through the restriction of the gods and demons, but if she did so, she would inevitably suffer a serious backlash. As a last resort, she could only use the Xiao family's mysterious skills to forcibly suppress the backlash of the immortal energy, but doing so was undoubtedly drinking poison to quench thirst.
Although she finally escaped, she had suffered two kinds of backlash, which almost killed her. At this time, she met a group of killers. It was like a double whammy.
Originally, with her ability, she could slowly use her power to remove the backlash, but in the end, she had no choice but to endure the backlash and escape.
This made things worse. In the end, she had to either give up her ancient martial arts, seal her meridians, and disperse her internal force, so that she could maintain her Xuanmen cultivation, or she would not give up her internal force and go astray. From then on, she would not be able to cultivate immortality, but would fall into the devil's way. ❉
Whether it was giving up ancient martial arts or Taoism, it was a fatal blow to Xiao Meng'er, so she would never give up any of them. So she finally planned to take a risk and merge her internal force with Xuanli. If she failed, the consequences would be unpredictable, but if she succeeded, she would get a blessing in disguise and her cultivation would definitely reach a higher level.
But she was being hunted down at that time, and those assassins would soon find her. Only Xiao Chen could help her, but the two of them were wary of each other. She was worried that Xiao Chen would not only not help her, but would plot against her at the most critical moment. So she had no choice but to call herself "Meng'er" in front of Xiao Chen to dispel his vigilance against her.
But it was so difficult for her to call herself so ambiguously in front of Xiao Chen at that time, and she would feel ashamed every time she recalled it alone in the future.
And at this time, Xiao Chen actually called her so ambiguously in front of so many people. No matter how deep her heart was, she could not be as calm as she looked on the surface.
Xiao Chen looked at her quietly, thinking that she could keep her expression unchanged like this, and she was indeed very advanced in Taoism. If she were an ordinary person, how could she not show her emotions?
And now he also knew that Xiao Meng'er had discovered him long ago. She had used the Nine Heavens Blue Palm before, not to deal with the quasi-saint of the Beigong family, but to test whether he still had any cultivation.
This action did not let others see any clues at all, and no one would even think that the purpose of her palm was not the person of the Beigong family at all.
This woman... is really scheming.
At this moment, everyone was still shocked by the sound of "Meng'er" and had not yet recovered. Even Chen Yufeng was a little surprised at that moment. He dared to "tease" Xiao Meng'er in public. This person... is really courageous.
At this time, Su Mei'er was also stunned at the Su family. She naturally recognized Xiao Chen at a glance, but it was not because she had seen Xiao Chen before, but before entering the Worry-Free Valley this time, in the jungle, her blue wolf beast bit two horses of the other party to death.
When she recalled the situation at that time, she remembered it clearly. At that time, she didn't feel any aura of cultivation from the other person. She just thought he was just an ordinary martial artist in this mortal world. How could she have thought that this person was the Lord of Wuyutian?
"Sure enough, I saw that he was extraordinary at that time. How could he be a person in this mortal world..."
The black-clothed old man standing next to Su Meir couldn't help but let out a long sigh. The man in front of him was the Lord of Wuyutian. Even he didn't expect it before.
The cold wind blew slowly from the valley. The atmosphere was still tense and solemn. There was no relaxation at all. Everyone was silent. Leng Baihu had walked to Xiao Chen's side without knowing when, and looked at him in a daze, "Wu... Brother Wuchen."
Xiao Chen turned around and looked at him and said, "I haven't told you that Wuchen is not my name."
"Then, then you..."
Leng Baihu looked at his unfamiliar eyes, and suddenly felt a little confused at this moment. His face also turned slightly pale. Until now, he still seemed to be in a dream.
Just now, those people were so afraid of Brother Wuchen. From their eyes, he could see that Brother Wuchen... No, it was no longer Brother Wuchen, but the Lord Wuyu in front of him. He was not an ordinary person.
"Then are we friends?"
"Of course."
Suddenly, the scene of that night appeared in his mind again. At this moment, Leng Baihu's heart suddenly felt empty. Looking at the person in front of him who had become extremely strange and cold, he could no longer see the previous Brother Wuchen, and he could no longer see the smile of that night.
"You, you are the one they said, the Lord of Wuyutian... In the end, is it?"
Leng Baihu looked at him motionlessly, and even his voice seemed to become a little hoarse. At this moment, he suddenly wanted to hear Xiao Chen say, no, they recognized the wrong person, I am not.
However, what he saw was that the other party nodded, "My name is Xiao Yichen."
"Xiao, Xiao Yichen..."
Leng Baihu's body trembled slightly. When he could no longer see the familiar eyes, he suddenly felt that he should not be here at all.
He looked around and found that the people around him were also looking at him, as if they were looking at a joke. There were so many people here, all of them were cultivators. What on earth was he, a mortal, doing here...
"I, I..."
For a moment, Leng Baihu suddenly didn't know what to say. He raised his head and said softly, "If you had told me earlier that you were the Lord of Wuyutian, those people would be afraid of you, I... I..."
As he spoke, he looked at the cultivators in the distance again. At this moment, he seemed to have lost his soul and murmured, "Then I wouldn't worry about you, and I wouldn't follow you so far... I, am I stupid..."
At the end of the words, his eyes seemed to have sand in them, red, but with so many people watching, he couldn't wipe them with his hands. His throat seemed to be choked by something and he couldn't speak anymore.
At this moment, he felt like an ugly duckling. There were all immortal cultivators here, people with strength and status, and he, a mortal, why was he here?
He suddenly wanted to turn around and run. Although he didn't know where to go, he didn't know how to get out at all, but at this moment he just wanted to find a quiet and deserted place.
But at this moment, a divine sense came into his mind, "Follow me."
"No..."
Leng Baihu raised his head and was stunned for a moment. He saw that Xiao Chen had continued to walk forward. He didn't hesitate and immediately followed him. He looked at Xiao Chen's profile, but he couldn't see what the other party was thinking at this moment.
But now, he must not ask. He knew in his heart that Brother Wuchen must have something that he couldn't say, and he couldn't let these people find out. So at this moment, he had to pretend that nothing had happened, and he must not let these people find out anything wrong...
At this moment, Xiao Chen looked directly at Xiao Meng'er, without avoiding or dodging, and slowly walked towards the valley. He knew the difference between Xiao Meng'er and Xiao Ling'er. Xiao Ling'er was simple by nature, and she always believed that she had no cultivation, and she would not doubt it at all.
But Xiao Meng'er was different, especially when Xiao Ling'er told her that she had no cultivation, she would not believe it easily, and she would even think that she deliberately lied to Xiao Ling'er to say these words to her.
It was because of her suspicious nature that now, he had the opportunity to calm the people here.
At this moment, Xiao Chen's face was very calm, and he must not reveal any problems. Otherwise, once it was exposed, and let these people know that his cultivation had been sealed, it would be dangerous, and the Beigong family would definitely be the first to get rid of him.
At this moment, every time he took a step forward, the cultivators around him felt more suffocated, and he was no exception.
But now, there was obviously no way out.
