Two days passed quickly. Xiao Chen's injury was almost completely recovered. He went out of the room and found out that the Falling-jade Glow was built in a valley. The ground was flat, and there were houses, chickens, dogs, farmlands, and canals.
There were children, white-bearded old men, and countless men and women everywhere. This was a Utopia far away from the mundane life. These people looked like ordinary people, but they carried a faint demonic aura.
An hour later, Yi Tong took him to a bamboo forest. Deep in the forest, a zither sound rose. After walking for a moment, there was a quiet pool at the end of the forest. Beside the pool was a bamboo room, and two red lanterns were hung under the eaves. The plaque on the door had five nice-looking words in red: Still Waiting For The Parted.
The zither sound obviously came from the room.
"Lil Tong, is it Mr. Xiao?" The music suddenly stopped, and then a woman's voice rose.

The crowd was still in fear when the dark cloud approached. As the black gas around the cloud gradually dispersed, a man with his hair cascading down on his shoulder appeared. He stood on the dark cloud and looked like a demon lord of the nine heavens, making people want to bow. Just now, the Xiao Family members had heard Xiao Ning from this demon's mouth. They were so scared. Seeing the demon standing proudly in the air with a deep hatred in his eyes, they felt doomed. The great demon, Gu Feng, turned his head as two beams of cold light burst out from his eyes that could even pierce through people. The crowd saw his cold eyes and were scared as hell. They moved away from their eyes and dared not to meet his eyes. "Which demon are you?" Gongye Zi was so scared and burst out shouting. "Hum?" Gu Feng looked at the ground with his eyes which were as sharp as two ice arrows and ready to pierce through Gongye Zi. Gongye Zi trembled
An hour later, on the top of the Xiao family's mountain, the north wind was cold. Xiao Chen slowly walked to an ancestral temple with an ancient look, and the true patriarch of the Xiao family, Xiao Ning, was enshrined and worshipped in there. In vague, he could see the portrait of Xiao Ning behind the shrine. The portrait was lifelike with knife-shaped eyebrows and star-shaped eyes. Xiao Chen walked in slowly, wiped off the dust on the table, and gazed at the portrait on the wall. The wind blew in, hitting the walls as if it was sobbing to the man in the portrait about the slaughter down the mountain a few days ago. The portrait rattled in the wind. Xiao Chen sighed and was about to turn and leave when he glanced at a thin line of words at the lower right corner of the portrait. He was shocked because the words were not written in modern language but the ancient characters thousands of years ago. Although the forms of the words were different, he recogniz
"What?! You said the people of the Spirit Silence Room..." Perfected Immortal Daofeng whispered something to Tiangu Zi. Tiangu Zi's face changed dramatically and turned pale and terrible. He then took out his Immortal's Sword which sheared through his left arm. Blood splashed around as he completely cut off his arm. The Xiao family disciples were frightened and wondering what he was doing now. Tiangu Zi said in tremor, "I've committed a heinous crime today. I cut off my arm to offer my apology!" He then was about to turn around when he heard a cold voice. "Humph! Are you going to leave just like this?" All of a sudden, a black air appeared between Xiao Chen's eyebrows, and his eyes gradually became dark purple. Perfected Immortal Daofeng noticed the tide was turning and suddenly thrust his sword to Tiangu Zi's heart. "This man deserved to die! Now, one life for another!" After saying so, he slapped
The girl covered her mouth and sniggered. "You fool. When did I say I'm injured? It's you that kept saying it." She then laughed, walked to Xiao Chen, wiped his face with her left palm and made his face black. Xiao Chen smelled a faint inky fragrance. Therefore, the reason why her palm was black was that she put ink on her hand. He was so angry that his body shook, but he could not vent his anger to a little girl. He thought this girl was extremely weird and eccentric. He said nothing, swung his sleeve, took the Ancient Sounds and left. The girl shouted behind his back, "Hey! Where are you going?" "I'll return the zither to the Immortal-saving Clan. Don't follow." The girl laughed and could hardly breathe. She shouted, "Don't forget, you lost and still owe me three things! Remember my name. I'm Flower Yet-ending!" Xiao Chen paid no attention to her. Then, he went to the Immortal-saving Clan to retur
After a certain time, Xiao Chen opened his eyes and felt he was at the bottom of the water. He ran his energy, stamped his feet, and went out of the water. All of a sudden, infinite Spiritual Qi came to him—he was in a river. He saw luxuriant woods on both shores and countless strange flowers. In the distance, there were numerous towering mountains, and one in the north-west was even piercing through the clouds and looked shiny under the sunset... So, this was the Violet Manor... The Spiritual Qi here was countless times more abundant than that of the Human World. He could not help feeling hot-blooded as if he returned to thousands of years ago. The Spiritual Qi here was so abundant that it was almost the same as that in the continent of the Immortal Century, and it could fully support his Mystic Cyan Cultivation Method. Before long, he would make the legend back then happen again. "Master, wait for me. I will definitely find you...&
At this moment, it was as if the histories of thousands of years ago flashed through his mind again: the scene when Ling Yin gave him the Fuxi Zither, and the scene when he first saw Evernight coming out of the zither and took shape... Suddenly, the surroundings quieted down. No sound could be heard, and no sword radiance could be seen. The only thing existed among heaven and earth was only that jade zither. But with time being, Xiao Chen gradually noticed something wrong. The zither body and the six strings were vague. So, they were just virtual images, and only the C major string was the real one. This was not the Fuxi Zither but the C major string of the Fuxi Zither! "Do you think that with your ability, you can unleash the ancient power of this zither?!" The man shouted and then punched at the girl. The young girl held the zither in her arms and heavily played the C major string. However, the string only quivered for a moment, making
"Me?" Xiao Chen pointed to his nose, shook his head and sighed. He then walked to Liu Fenghuang and said, "Alas, forget it. Senior Sister Liu, let make some room for them to kill each other, so that the Skygale Sect can come to clean up the mess." Liu Fenghuang knew what he meant and said quickly, "Yeah, Junior Brother Han is right. The Skygale Sect is nearby. Let's stop fighting each other, okay?" "Humph!" Shen Qian swung her sleeve and went back. She raised her head and saw the night was coming, saying, "The monsters in the Dragon Meridian Mountains at night are incredibly fierce. Let's find a safe place to camp and wait for someone to bring the Flying-cloud Stone here." She then took the people and walked forth. Not everyone could ride on a sword. Some normal disciples in many sects needed the Flying-cloud Stone to travel. It was a travel tool. Before long, the sky became completely dark. The cr
Xiao Chen looked pale and could not speak. He did not expect that three zither sounds had consumed all his True Qi. Shen Qian hurried over and said, "Junior Sister, put up the divine zither quickly!" Xiao Chen shook his head and smiled gently. He handed zither to Liu Fenghuang. This was not the time to turn against the Teal Jade Sect. It would need a long plan to take back the string. Chu Lingjiao also came over and said, "I didn't expect that junior brother can play the ancient divine zither." A cold glance swept over Xiao Chen, as if it was a warning or praising, wanting to get close to him. Xiao Chen didn't like this feeling very much and did not say anything. Shen Qian turned her head and said, "I didn't expect either. We've got so many people on watch tonight, but they still raided us. Senior Sister, do you know who they are?" Chu Lingjiao smiled gently and said, "What a question, Junior Sister. Maybe you kn
