Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Chapter 1108 Red Stone Temple Gray Ghost Banner

The road was difficult to travel, the food was unpalatable, and the wine was ineffective – this was Shen Yichen's most genuine feeling about Yanquan.

As for the feelings, it was truly exhilarating!

Ten miles north of the ancient city of Luowu, there is a stone forest, which is called the Red Stone Forest because of its dark red stones.

Where the Red Stone Forest meets the official road, there is a Red Stone Temple. This temple is deserted and looks very old.

As the last rays of the setting sun disappeared into the Red Stone Forest, two carriages entered the Red Stone Temple, carrying Shen Yichen and his six companions.

Jian Chenqing knew that Shen Yichen's identity had been exposed, but she really didn't expect that the entire Yanquan Jianghu would know about it.

Jian Chenqing guessed that this was done by the Ji family, which was the beginning of Shen Ren's inner turmoil, and of course, the beginning of Shen Yichen's crisis in Yanquan.

The chosen one is from the Ji family. How many people in the Yanquan Jianghu want to kill Shen Yichen? Some will do it openly, and some will do it by assassination!

Shen Yichen's three hearts are probably a secret, which is why Jian Chenqing stopped Yun Tianming at the tavern.

Another point is that they can kill to silence witnesses in a deserted place, but can the three of them really kill Yun Tianming and Youxin?

Jian Chenqing was filled with worry!

Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue had the same thought. Now that the three of them knew Shen Yichen's identity, they couldn't talk about the three hearts Shen Yichen possessed, because there was the power of the Demon Shuo and the power of the Bloodline there, and they could not be too careful!

"We're going to have some fun, you guys won't come along, will you?"

Jian Chenqing grabbed Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue's hands, one on each side, and flew into the Red Stone Forest.

Yun Tianming remained calm and unchanged as he was pushed into the Red Stone Temple by the maid behind him.

Youxin's lips were puffed out, and his little hands kept banging. He sat in the car without getting off, waiting for the three people to come back.

After Shen Yichen and the other two entered the depths of the Red Stone Forest, Jian Chenqing let go of his hand.

"Go and scout around first!"

Without hesitation, Shen Yichen sat cross-legged, and twelve divine senses shot out, carefully exploring everything around him along the directions of the twelve Heavenly Stems.

Eleven of the divine senses returned quickly, but the divine sense in the due west direction encountered a change.

There was a person at the westernmost edge of the Red Stone Forest. Beside that person was a spirit banner that had actually sensed Shen Yichen's divine sense.

The spirit banner chased after Shen Yichen's divine sense, trying to devour it!

Shen Yichen was startled and instantly used the Soul Separation Illusion Step to return to the Red Stone Forest.

"Someone has spotted me to the west, what should I do?"

"Let's go back to Red Stone Temple first. Don't let Yun Tianming examine your body yet. Put aside your plans to have a child for now!"

"Tch, you old hag, do you need to tell me? This is between him and me, and you're really concerned about it. What? Are you in such a hurry to join my carefree palace?"

Shen Yichen shook his head. These two really couldn't stand not bickering. Shen Yichen pulled the two of them away from the Red Stone Forest.

Not long after the three left, a new person arrived and landed where Shen Yichen and the others had just been. This person was dressed in a gray robe, wore a gray ghost mask on his face, and held a spirit banner in his hand.

After examining the area for a moment, the man muttered to himself:

"How could my consciousness suddenly disappear? Did it enter a host body? How strange!"

When Shen Yichen and the other two returned to the Red Stone Temple, a campfire had already been lit. Yun Tianming was reading a book, and his maid was leaning against a pillar, taking a nap with her eyes closed.

Youxin entered the Taoist temple with the three of them.

"Senior, have you made a decision? It seems you never trusted my master back then!"

Jian Chenqing sat by the campfire, looking at the flickering flames, her expression somewhat dazed.

"Your master passed on his medical skills to you and his bed-care techniques to Mei Lianbing, right?"

"Alas, my master could never forget his predecessor. You are his best successor, possessing both innate charm and a vicious, ruthless heart!"

Yun Tianming closed the book, his eyes filled with regret.

"So your master did the opposite and chose someone as virtuous as you, right?"

Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue snuggled together, both of them sounding a little confused.

"I'm actually only half a disciple, or rather, a nominal disciple. I've never truly become a disciple. The disciple that Master has always wanted to take on is Senior!"

"Can you tell me where I can find him?"

"Senior, you should have just asked me where the Valley of No Return is!"

"Will you tell me?"

"Of course, but my master told you that I can say the same thing!"

"You've been wandering the martial world for years, hasn't anyone pressed you to tell you where the Valley of No Return is?"

"If you're not going back, what's the point of leaving? If it weren't for this chance encounter with you, the world wouldn't know about my relationship with my master!"

Jian Chenqing pondered Yun Tianming's words. Yun Tianming had no trace of evil in him, but Ji Qingxian was a person whose whole being exuded evil.

Jian Chenqing really couldn't understand why Ji Qingxian would accept Yun Tianming as her disciple.

Jian Chenqing glanced at Youxin beside her again and said calmly:

"It seems that the Changsheng Temple and the Valley of No Return have a special relationship!"

Yun Tianming did not respond, because someone from Hongshi Temple had arrived—the one holding the spirit banner.

Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue immediately thought of the masked man; this person's mask and the masked man's mask should be from the same source.

Shen Yichen looked at Mu Qingxue, who shook her head.

Mu Qingxue didn't know where her uncle's mask came from, but it certainly wasn't from the Ten Thousand Demons Sect!

"Fellow Daoists, do you mind if I rest here for the night?"

None of the six people in the Taoist temple responded.

Shen Yichen glanced at the spirit banner out of the corner of his eye. It was a similar magical artifact to the round altar in Xiangyun Mountain, and it had clearly tried to devour his divine consciousness just now.

The man wearing the gray ghost mask sat down directly by the campfire, with the spirit banner standing beside him.

Yun Tianming opened the book again and quietly flipped through it.

Jian Chenqing moved closer to Shen Yichen and Mu Qingxue, and the three of them ended up surrounding the pillar.

Shen Yichen felt like he was sitting on pins and needles; neither of these two women were the type to stay still!

By the light of the campfire, Shen Yichen looked at Xiao Youxin, who was sitting cross-legged. Xiao Youxin was holding prayer beads, with her eyes closed and her lips slightly moving. She really looked like a highly enlightened monk.

Especially that white monk's robe, it had a bit of a divine or Buddha-like charm.

Shen Yichen's concerns were valid!

Mu Qingxue didn't move, but Jian Chenqing reached out to Shen Yichen's hand.

Shen Yichen swallowed hard, letting Jian Chenqing do whatever she wanted; he couldn't stop her at all.

Mu Qingxue couldn't sleep. She was upset. Whenever she was with Shen Yichen, she couldn't stop thinking about those kinds of things.

Mu Qingxue felt that there was really something wrong with her body, and that her desires did not seem to originate solely from her heart.

After Jian Chenqing traced lines on Shen Yichen's palm for a long time, Shen Yichen finally realized that Jian Chenqing was writing, and she was writing just one character:

Heart!

Shen Yichen didn't understand what it meant, and he didn't dare to respond. Mu Qingxue was in his arms, and she could tell when his heartbeat was abnormal.

The night breeze swept into the broken temple, and the Red Stone Temple was eerily quiet, even strangely so!

Soon, Shen Yichen sensed another word in his hand:

Disaster!

Heartbreak? Shen Yichen frowned slightly, unsure of what Jian Chenqing meant.

Just as Shen Yichen was deep in thought, another person entered the Red Stone Temple in the darkness.

Shen Yichen was deeply shocked!

He recognized the visitor; it was Ji Jingtao, the leader of the Ji family's Star-Breaking Feathers.

Ji Jingtao was also taken aback when he saw Shen Yichen. He really didn't expect to run into Shen Yichen here.

Ji Jingtao did not greet Shen Yichen, but sat down by the campfire, to the left of the man in the gray ghost mask.

"It's been so many years since we last saw each other, hasn't it?"

The person wearing the gray ghost mask actually knew Ji Jingtao!

"Some people don't want the Ji family to come to Yanquan, so even if you want to see me, you won't be able to!"

Ji Jingtao took out three jugs of wine, handed one to the man wearing the gray ghost mask, and threw the other jug ​​in front of Shen Yichen.

"If you know you're not welcome, why did you come?"

"Well, you'll have to ask the person in charge. I have no choice in the matter!"

Shen Yichen didn't stand on ceremony and took the opportunity to break free from Jian Chenqing's grasp. His hand had gone numb from being squeezed so tightly; he was too nervous!

Shen Yichen picked up the wine pot, took a sip, and closed his eyes to enjoy it.

Jian Chenqing was too shameless; she leaned directly into Shen Yichen's other arm and said in a coquettish voice:

"I want to drink too, feed me!"
