After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 169 Gathering of Questioners

"Zuo Chen, how did you know I was here?" Shen Xu was shocked to see Zuo Chen suddenly appear behind him.

Zuo Chen replied with a smile, "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed!"

"Stop being so mysterious, what's the situation now?"

"The situation here at the Red Jade Gathering has been settled; now it's time to focus on the bigger picture of the Sword Selection."

"I saw that things seemed to be turning around at the Tianhe Society, and I realized that you must have helped us. I'm very curious about how you persuaded them?"

“It’s simple, I have what they want!” Shen Xu said with a smile.

Zuo Chen asked in disbelief, "Kunyuan Palace?"

"That's right!"

Hearing Shen Xu's affirmative answer, Zuo Chen couldn't help but exclaim, "It seems your past ten days have been even more exciting than I imagined! Let's go! I'll take you to meet them."

On the way, Shen Xu couldn't help but think about what Zuo Chen had just told him. He hadn't expected that Zuo Chen could predict that there would be a turning point at Tianhe Society, and that he could also guess that it was Zuo Chen who had persuaded Tianhe Society and then blocked him on the only way for Tianhe Society to reach Hongyu Society's base.

It seems that his Cloud Nebula Robe wasn't fake after all. Hopefully, Zuo Chen really wants to save Xingchuan Domain! Otherwise, people like that usually die quite young.

"Zuo Chen, you're a bit late this time. We've been gone for ages," Yuan Wuwei complained.

"Thank you all for your hard work! I went to see someone, so I'm a little late," Zuo Chen said apologetically.

Xiao Ruohuang asked curiously, "Who are you meeting?"

“Shen Xu!” Zuo Chen revealed a mysterious smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent and looked at Zuo Chen with suspicion.

At this moment, Shen Xu's figure appeared in the mist, and he smiled at the shocked crowd, saying, "Do you all really not want to see me?"

Yuan Wuwei immediately stood up, touched Shen Xu's body with some suspicion, and then said with surprise, "Shen Xu, it really is you!"

"Shen Xu, where have you been? I haven't heard from you at all. I thought you had been eliminated!" Xiao Ruohuang asked, puzzled.

Cen Chong also said with a smile, "I knew you wouldn't be eliminated so easily, Brother Shen!"

Shen Xu looked at Li Xiaoyi, only to see that she had a cold face and didn't even look at him directly. He knew that this girl must be angry.

"Where's Qingyun?" Shen Xu looked around but didn't see Qingyun, so he frowned.

Zuo Chen replied, "Don't worry, she's just breaking through to the tenth level of Qi Cultivation and can't come out of seclusion yet."

“That’s perfect! I still have some Sheng Yuan Fruits left here. Xiao Yi, you can take them to Qing Yun!” Shen Xu took out a jade box containing three Sheng Yuan Fruits from his ring and handed it to Li Xiao Yi with a smile.

"A Yuan-Rising Fruit! And a storage ring! Tell me honestly, what have you been doing these past few days?" Yuan Wuwei immediately approached Shen Xu, bent down, and looked at the jade box in his hand with a shocked expression.

"I'll definitely tell you when Xiao Yi comes back. Can Xiao Yi help me out?" Shen Xu said sincerely.

After taking the jade box, Li Xiaoyi glanced coldly at Shen Xu before heading deeper into the cave.

For some reason, he suddenly felt a pang of guilt towards Li Xiaoyi, but this thought immediately made him sense a danger.

It seems he'll have to stay away from her from now on. He and Li Xiaoyi shouldn't have any interaction in the first place; she and the witch are both people he shouldn't associate with.

after a while.

"So, you were the first person to discover the Kunyuan Palace!" Zuo Chen said thoughtfully.

Yuan Wuwei exclaimed, "Not only did they discover it, they actually got inside!"

"I didn't go in, I just wandered around the outside. That stone door isn't one I can open," Shen Xu explained.

Xiao Ruohuang said with a hint of jealousy, "You found so many good things just by wandering around. I want to go wander around too."

"Didn't the Fire Flame Society find one? Why don't you go and take a look?" Yuan Wuwei immediately mocked.

“You…” Xiao Ruohuang pointed at Yuan Wuwei, speechless.

“Since that Kunyuan Palace is so well hidden, and you have a way to get there, as long as we obtain enough Kunyuan Breath, we can completely monopolize that Kunyuan Palace,” Li Xiaoyi said.

"I'm sorry! I've already told the Tianhe Society about the Kunyuan Palace, which has bought you a day. Their people should arrive tomorrow."

"Is that so? Then what are we waiting for? Let's go and wipe out the entire Red Jade Society! I didn't have anything to do this morning, and my hands are itching for action!" Yuan Wuwei said excitedly.

"It's a pity that Qingyun hasn't emerged from seclusion yet, so this matter isn't perfect. After all, she is the true leader of the Green Wood Society." Xiao Ruohuang couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Li Xiaoyi pondered for a moment and said, "Not necessarily. Qingyun said she's almost successful, and with the Shengyuan Fruit, she should be able to emerge from seclusion before noon tomorrow. The people from the Tianhe Society certainly won't be in such a hurry to travel; I guess they won't arrive until tomorrow night."

“I agree with Miss Xiao Yi’s opinion!” Cen Chong agreed.

“Then we’ll wait for Qingyun for a day! But since the Red Jade Society is already a sitting duck, we should consider our next move. Ruohuang, Brother Cen, can you convince your two families to accept our proposal?” Zuo Chen asked the two of them.

Xiao Ruohuang said, "The Fire Flame Society has not suffered any losses, and Hedgehog Head won't disagree!"

“This matter is very beneficial to the Five Mountains Association, and we have no reason to disagree.”

"I'll go to the Golden Rainbow Society. I'll leave the Heavenly River Society to you, Shen Xu. Xiao Yi and Wuwei, you two stay here and help Qingyun set up the Green Wood Society," Zuo Chen instructed them one by one.

"Shen Xu, here is a map I drew showing the locations of the three Kunyuan Palaces that have been explored. Can you point out the location of the fourth Kunyuan Palace?" Zuo Chen took out a piece of white silk, on which was drawn the general terrain of the Kunyuan Secret Realm that had been explored. Three locations were marked in conspicuous red.

“With the existence of the Misty Forest, I don’t know the exact location of the Kunyuan Palace, but it should be roughly in this area behind the Misty Forest.” Shen Xu placed his finger on a blank area on the white cloth.

Zuo Chen looked at the location Shen Xu pointed to and slowly said, "If I'm not mistaken, the Four Directions Sword Alliance didn't randomly teleport us. The leaders of the five alliances are all very far apart, which makes it convenient for them to divide up the entire Kunyuan Secret Realm without conflict."

However, the Tianhe Society went astray because of the existence of the Misty Forest, which led them to run into the Jin Hong Society. The Kun Yuan Palace that they were fighting with the Jin Hong Society for should have belonged to the Jin Hong Society, while the Kun Yuan Palace on the Red Earth Continent was the one prepared for the Tianhe Society.

So now each of the four alliances has a Kunyuan Palace within its territory. Do you think the Four Sword Alliances would deliberately leave out the Hongyu Gathering?

"Zuo Chen, do you mean there really is a fifth Kunyuan Palace within the territory of the Red Jade Society?" Yuan Wuwei asked with some surprise.

"Perhaps it was because we blocked the Red Jade Society members from the beginning that they were unable to freely explore the surrounding area, which is why the fifth Kunyuan Palace has not been discovered for so long!" Cen Chong understood the Four Directions Sword Alliance's arrangement.

"Then let the Qingmu Society take on the task of finding out the fifth Kunyuan Palace!" Zuo Chen said slowly, looking at the glaring red dot on the white silk.
