Chapter 2320 A Powerful Retort

There are always exceptions, so we must not be careless.

There are always some reckless individuals who, after arriving in China, want to explore it thoroughly, rather than going directly to the Upper Star System, where the unknowns are too great.

The emperor standing at the pinnacle would never care about the life or death of ants in other realms.

This is China, the homeland of Chen Qingyuan and others. We should do our best to guard it and maintain order and stability in all areas.

"Prepare for the worst and take precautions."

If An Xi were to become the Dao-proving Emperor in this life, and if the Divine Continent were to be thrown into chaos by visitors from beyond the realm, not only would she feel remorse, but her own reputation would also be damaged.

His words were cold and sharp, carrying a hint of murderous intent.

If the visitors are arrogant and domineering, refusing to listen to advice, then there is only one way: kill them!

Shen Wuyun, who was not far away, clearly sensed this sharp killing intent and couldn't help but shiver, feeling slightly fortunate.

Fortunately, Shen Wuyun knew his limits and didn't act recklessly. Otherwise, he wouldn't be standing here now; he would have been killed long ago.

"Where will it likely appear?"

Chen Qingyuan continued to ask Situ Lin questions to gain a deeper understanding.

Situ Lin replied decisively: "Northern Wilderness".

"The Northern Wilderness again?"

Chen Qingyuan was surprised and couldn't help but glance at Shen Wuyun.

Shen Wuyun's route back then was to cross the chaotic boundary sea and ascend to the Northern Wilderness.

"It may be related to the Immortal Bone Forbidden Zone."

Situ Lin made a serious deduction.

To transmit the wondrous sound of immortality to the depths of the Boundary Sea and even to the various cosmic domains, Mu Cangyan could not accomplish this on his own. Therefore, he needed to rely on the power of the rules of the forbidden zone to achieve his wish.

Apart from Eternal Night Ruins, all the other forbidden zones of immortal bones are located in the Northern Wilderness.

Therefore, once the top beings of each cosmic domain are affected by the Eternal Life Melody, they will most likely appear in the Northern Wilderness and then take the next step.

"Chen Qingyuan, what do you plan to do?"

Gu Kong crossed his arms and cast a glance at him.

"Welcoming guests."

Without hesitation, Chen Qingyuan had already made up his mind.

Chen Qingyuan couldn't intervene in the strange black fog situation. Rather than waiting here in vain, he should hurry back to the Northern Wilderness to prepare to welcome the distinguished guests from beyond the realm and prevent any unrest.

"That's only right, since you're useless here anyway."

Gu Kong spoke very frankly.

"Could Senior Gu possibly influence the course of events here?"

An Xiruo suddenly said something, her words carrying a rather obvious aggressive tone.

Gu Kong: "......"

I didn't do anything, I just told the truth.

Do you really need to be so protective of your husband?

Gu Kong's intention was not to mock or belittle, but simply to state a fact.

Regardless of whether Gu Kong meant anything else, An Xiruo felt uncomfortable and resentful, and responded harshly.

Everyone watched this scene with outward composure, but secretly they were laughing.

Chen Qingyuan walked to An Xiruo's side and whispered, "Xiruo, it's not that bad."

When speaking to Chen Qingyuan, An Xiruo changed her demeanor, beaming with a gentle smile: "I understand."

Upon witnessing this scene, Gu Kong suffered a second blow, his face turning ashen, speechless: "..."

Chen Qingyuan and An Xiruo stood face to face, only a few feet apart: "Hurry back to the Northern Wilderness to prepare to welcome our guests."

No matter what decision Chen Qingyuan makes, An Xiruo fully supports him and has no objections: "Okay."

"Be careful in everything you do, and never underestimate your enemy. If there are problems that you cannot solve, retreat for the time being and plan your next move."

Situ Lin gave a brief instruction.

Chen Qingyuan nodded and said, "Understood."

Visitors from outside the territory are either strong or weak.

No one could say for sure whether a peak Emperor-level being would suddenly appear. Faced with such a powerful enemy, Chen Qingyuan and An Xiruo were powerless to resist and could only retreat.

"I'll go with you."

After some thought, Ye Liujun decided to go with him. The psychological pressure of staying here was too great; it would be better to go to the Northern Wilderness with Chen Qingyuan.

Although you can still hear the call of the Dao of Immortality after arriving in the Northern Wilderness, at least you are farther away and won't plunge headfirst into the eerie black mist, giving you time to catch up.

Chen Qingyuan had no reason to refuse: "Okay."

"I will walk with you."

After much deliberation, Rong Che concluded that it was more appropriate for him to stay with Chen Qingyuan. In his view, Chen Qingyuan possessed extraordinary luck and could always turn misfortune into good fortune, no matter what trouble he encountered.

The key point is that Rong Che can gain a sense of security from Chen Qingyuan.

Chen Qingyuan and Rong Che exchanged a glance: "Okay."

So the group set off towards the northern wilderness.

There are no more than a handful of people staying here.

Gu Kong definitely won't leave; he'll wait for Zhi Xi to return safely.

Although Ji Fushuang owed Chen Qingyuan a huge favor, she did not want to accompany him all the time, partly to avoid suspicion and partly because it was unnecessary.

If Chen Qingyuan has any needs, he can simply ask. No matter what dangers lie ahead, Ji Fushuang will never back down. At worst, she will return her life to Chen Qingyuan to settle the score.

Situ Lin and Nangong Ge were deeply interested in the strange black mist. The two stayed together, sometimes calculating with their fingers, sometimes talking in hushed tones.

......

Several days later, Chen Qingyuan and the others returned to the Northern Wilderness.

With a crisis looming, he had no intention of returning to the Azure Sect for a rest and headed directly to the border between the Northern Wilderness and the Chaotic Sea, a very remote location with extremely scarce life-bearing stars.

The universe is so vast. In order to reach the boundary, Chen Qingyuan moved forward at full speed, tearing through countless layers of void.

It consumed a great deal of spiritual energy, traversing countless stars.

In the desolate, dark starry sky, Chen Qingyuan waved his sleeve, creating a beautiful and picturesque scene.

Several exquisite ancient halls stand suspended in mid-air.

Hundreds of sacred trees stand outside the palace.

A huge bronze bell hangs from each corner of the ancient hall's eaves, swaying gently and radiating a soft, rosy glow.

Inside the hall, there are elegant seats made of white jade and precious stones.

Chen Qingyuan, An Xiruo, Rong Che, Ye Liujun, Shen Wuyun.

The five people sat down, brewed tea, and tasted wine.

Shen Wuyun originally didn't want to come, but under Chen Qingyuan's friendly 'invitation,' he gladly agreed.

"The rain is coming and the wind is blowing all over the building."

"A storm is coming."

"Wait!"

In front of each private booth is a long table laden with rare fruits and pastries, all delicacies rarely seen in the world.

Ye Liujun and the others wanted to get away from the eerie black mist for psychological comfort, but they also wanted to see the new visitors from outside the region, so their anticipation grew stronger.

"If a top-tier expert really comes, I suggest you run as far away as possible. Avoid direct confrontation; preserving your life is the most important thing."

Rong Che expressed his opinion.

As the saying goes, as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.

Only by living can you get revenge; if you die, you'll have nothing left.

"The words are rough but the reasoning is not rough."

Ye Liujun agreed with this.

"A small leak will sink a great ship."

Shen Wuyun seconded the motion.

"The guests haven't even arrived yet, and you're already discussing how to escape? That's going too far!"

Hearing what everyone was saying, Chen Qingyuan smiled helplessly.
