"Others are in Jizhou Prefecture; the specific location is being thoroughly investigated by the 'Demoness'."
Speaking of which, Sun Zhengqiu took out a secret letter from his bosom and said, "Additionally, I have also received a letter from 'Hidden Dragon'."
"They have instructed me to closely monitor the movements of the heavenly prides of each peak of the Sect. If any descend the mountain, they..."
Chen Yi's expression turned slightly stern as he said, "Send a message back, tell them I will return to the Capital City on the second day of next month."
Sun Zhengqiu's mind was shocked, "Could it be that the Lord intends to..."
"Do as I say."
"Yes!"
Chen Yi gave him a glance, then took out an Immortal Peach from the Sumeru Bag and handed it to him.
"This is a reward for your hard work these past years."
"My Lord, I do not..."
"One Immortal Peach can extend one's lifespan by a hundred years."
Sun Zhengqiu's mouth gaped open, hurriedly accepting it and repeatedly expressing thanks.
Damn, this is a hundred years of lifespan!
If he were to refuse again, he'd probably be the biggest fool on the Tianyuan Continent!
Silence for a moment.
Chen Yi watched the snowflakes fluttering in the sky, revealing a trace of determination between his expressions.
"Some things, it's time to bring them to an end!"
...
Snow also began to fall on Luofu Mountain.
Chen Yuan, ever since parting with Chen Yi, had journeyed through Wangchuan County and entered deep into the western part of Luofu Mountain.
Only on the outskirts of that towering mountain did he find a suitable place to lay Ling Yinrong's Black Wood Coffin.
Halfway up the mountain.
Chen Yuan carved out a cave deep into the mountainside with a few strokes, and after arranging it simply, placed the Black Wood Coffin securely inside.
Chen Ke, who looked much older, followed by his side, silently observing the whole time, neither lending a hand nor asking questions, like a statue.
Chen Yuan paid him no heed, going about his task, then used large boulders to seal the cave entrance.
Only then did Chen Ke slowly speak, "Young Master, it's time to return to the Capital City."
Chen Yuan looked at the traceless mountain wall, remained silent for a long while, then finally nodded.
"Indeed, it's time to return."
Saying this, he turned and walked down the mountain.
Chen Ke, neither sad nor happy, followed behind him, his heart unspeakably sorrowful.
Not knowing how long they had walked, Chen Yuan stopped.
"Who originally ordered Lu Kai to reveal my whereabouts to the Southern Barbarian Sect?"
Chen Ke sighed inwardly, as the inevitable was bound to come.
Without a moment's hesitation, he bowed and cupped his fist, "It was this old servant."
Chen Yuan turned to face him, his tall figure hidden in the shadow of the boulders, making his expression appear exceptionally cold.
"Then what about 'Hidden Dragon'?"
"It was also managed by this old servant."
"Does mother know?"
Chen Ke shook his head, "Miss has been unaware of the 'Hidden Dragon' matter until now."
Chen Yuan gave a noncommittal nod, "So, Grandpa has always been 'concerned' about me?"
Chen Ke felt a need to explain a few things, yet he didn't know how to justify the Old Marquis's actions.
Even though he could understand Zhou Tiance's sentiments, many things were equally incomprehensible to him.
Chen Yuan suddenly laughed, his silver-white hair fluttering as if in response.
"If I remember correctly, you once said that 'Hidden Dragon' would be under my control in the future?"
Chen Ke hesitated, then nodded, "The Old Marquis indeed demanded that."
"Then tell me about 'Hidden Dragon', oh, and also a list of all personnel involved."
Chen Ke opened his mouth, suddenly having a bad premonition.
Chen Yuan, noticing this, seemingly comforted, "Don't worry, I just have some tasks I want them to perform."
"After all, Grandpa has done so much; as his grandson, it's only right for me to strengthen 'Hidden Dragon', isn't it?"
Perhaps, sending them all to assassinate my younger brother... would be a good idea!
Chen Ke's heart sank, "What the Young Master says is correct."
"Then tell me, why did Grandpa establish 'Hidden Dragon'?"
"And, his intention for sending me to Wuliang Mountain..."
