The Chaos Chronicles flashed, and several people spat blood.

Situxiao had just escorted someone back to Yanmen Pass and was cursing up a storm, "Damn it, no wonder they asked me to bring someone back, and then they go out to show off! I'm not part of your Xiake Camp, why should I do tasks for you!"

Cui Yuanyang took the heads of the Qiao family's young master and Qiao Er with a smile and ordered, "Spread the word, Brother Situ is our deputy leader."

Situ Xiao jumped and cursed, "I know why you guys are a family."

Cui Yuanyang looked up at the final comment and sighed helplessly, "This family is not easy to deal with... I knew back in the mountain stronghold that Yuanyang could handle Yue Hongling at home."

"?" Situ Xiao hurriedly asked, "Yue Hongling and Zhao Changhe started so early? Tell me more!"

"Come to our Xiake Camp, we'll talk over a drink."

"Alright."

"At that time, Yue Hongling reached down..."

Cui Yuanyang was worried about her sister's position in the family, but Cui Yuanyang herself didn't think too much about it. She was sitting at home, resting her chin in her hand, muttering softly, "Sixth place, I knew it, the three-year ranking on the Human List means nothing to Big Brother Zhao."

Cui Wenjing was frowning in front of her, "Recite the sword technique I taught you just now?"

"Huh?" Cui Yuanyang smiled apologetically, "The... the wind was too strong, I couldn't hear clearly."

"You used to work hard before, and when you came back from Langya, your face was red every day, and you even sneaked a peek at the erotic paintings!" Cui Wenjing was furious and stood up, pretending to grab a chicken feather duster to hit her, "If you keep this up, who can you beat, Yue Hongling or Tang Wanzhuang! How can I have such an unambitious daughter, I'll beat you to death!"

Cui Yuanyang quickly ran away.

Cui Wenjing grabbed her by the back of her neck and lowered her voice, "Go to the ancestral hall, the Qinghe Sword has been faintly ringing recently, suspected to be the return of the sword spirit, go and see if there's a chance to make it recognize its master."

"Huh? Shouldn't my brother go?"

"Both of you go, do you think I would rely solely on you?" Cui Wenjing was frustrated, "Think about whether your performance is worthy of it?"

Cui Yuanyang: "..."

At the main altar of the Four Elephant Sect.

Xia Chichi was sitting cross-legged at the altar, practicing, and opened her eyes, tilting her head to look at the sky.

An attendant beside her bowed and said, "Holy Maiden, your position has been replaced..."

Xia Chichi smirked.

A group of people clamored, "We can't stand it, this Zhao Changhe, we're not killing him out of tolerance, and now he's pressing down on you!"

Isn't that great...

Xia Chichi said expressionlessly, "The Chaos Chronicles are deliberately causing trouble, only a fool like Cui Yuanyang would rush to challenge because he was squeezed out of his position. If the Chaos Chronicles are being manipulated, I'm afraid they're laughing inside."

The crowd looked at each other, saying it nicely, but why does your expression look wrong, you look so angry, you're almost gnashing your teeth.

Xia Chichi looked at the final comment over and over again, until the golden light disappeared, then gritted her teeth, "A mere Xuan Guan Seventh Layer fool, what's so great about that. I've already broken through the Eighth Layer of Xuan Guan and am about to break through to the Ninth Layer. Once I break through, I'll go straight to the Human List, what's the point of competing for a ranking with a group of children, competing for what! What's the use of being sixth on the Qianlong List, if he's capable, he should go for first place and stay there for a lifetime!"

The crowd had to say, "The Holy Maiden has lofty aspirations."

Suddenly, Xia Chichi said, "You guys, a river reflects the sunset, is the river embracing the sunset, or is the sunset entering the river?"

The crowd: "?"

What are you talking about...

No matter how much Situ Xiao, Cui Yuanyang, Cui Wenjing, and Xia Chichi were jumping inside, the real person who was jumping the most was someone else.

In the far south, within the sphere of influence of the Maitreya Sect, a white-clad assassin looked up at the sky in confusion, then suddenly flew into a rage, "Sha Qi, you said he went south, what's this?"

......

The outside world may be experiencing storms, but the dog man and woman were not concerned at the moment, they only knew that the Huren army had sealed the mountain, and Chilai and the others had already entered the mountain to search.

Fortunately, it was nighttime, and it wasn't so easy to find people in the mountains.

The two of them sneaked away, making their way into the mountains.

This was a vast mountain range, extremely wide, including the previous Luanshi Mountain, which was only a small part of this mountain range. Yue Hongling didn't know why Zhao Changhe had chosen this location to enter the mountain, it looked worse than other peaks, it wasn't as big as the other peaks, and the mountain was bare with nothing on it, at most some rugged rocks for cover, it really wasn't suitable for hiding and recuperating.

It's probably going to be found as soon as it gets light...

It's said that there's a secret realm here, but you can't tell at all.

How did he know there was a secret realm here, he had been wandering around here for three months, combining a lot of information and his own reconnaissance, before he had a vague guess, he had just arrived... who gave him the map, could it have been a trick?

At this point, Yue Hongling was almost unable to hold on, leaning weakly against Zhao Changhe, whispering, "Should we find a cave or something to get by for a while? If we don't recuperate, we won't be able to handle it once we're found."Zhao Changhe's own injuries were also excruciatingly painful. Having galloped on horseback for so long, the makeshift treatment he had applied earlier had long since cracked open. The true qi of a Human List expert wreaked havoc within his body, refusing to dissipate and causing him immense discomfort. At this point, everyone's combat strength was far from what it had been when they were first injured. The longer they delayed, the more miserable their situation became.

But things had come to this point, and he had to keep pushing through, even if it meant dragging himself forward.

He bent down to signal her and whispered, "I'll carry you on my back."

Yue Hongling shook her head: "You're not much better off than I am."

"I have more strength than you do." Without another word, Zhao Changhe moved in close and hoisted her onto his back. "Let's go."

Yue Hongling didn't even have the strength to struggle, lying limply on his back. Seeing him also staggering, she didn't know quite how to feel.

Zhao Changhe trudged uphill with difficulty, firmly believing that there must be a secret realm in this place. According to the map in his hand, the shape of the mountain range was vividly drawn, with the entrance of each peak clearly marked. It was easy to find a match; it couldn't possibly be a random scribble.

He unfolded the map again for a glance. There was a small note on it: "Midway up the mountain, there is a pile of disorderly rocks that seems chaotic and without pattern, but within it, seven stones can form a very standard Big Dipper shape. It's just that they are mixed with other stones and not discernible."

"If one stands under the stars and moon at the position of Tian Shu, one can faintly sense an unusual aura seeping out from the stone formation, suggesting a hidden space of another dimension. The exact method to open it has not been explored clearly, as I had to leave due to other urgent matters. If fate allows, I will return to investigate further, hence this mark."

"The shape of the Tian Shu stone is as follows..."

What followed was a scribble, indistinguishable as either a stone or something else, completely irregular.

This was a mark left by Master Yuan Xing for himself, mainly to remember which shape of the mountain to enter and which shape of the stone was the key point.

Otherwise, the mountains all looked similar, and it was impossible to recognize one stone in a pile of disorderly rocks. After many years, even he would have forgotten upon returning.

Now, this mark had conveniently benefited Zhao Changhe. Staggering with Yue Hongling on his back, he reached the middle of the mountain and indeed saw a pile of disorderly rocks, a very common and ordinary sight atop such a stone mountain.

The stones were nothing special. No matter how one looked at them, they were just a pile of ordinary rocks, arranged without any order, their shapes a complete mess, just a natural pile of stones that could be seen everywhere.

In the middle of the mountain, neither high nor low, the unremarkable pile of rocks sat openly there. No one would have thought that this place could be the entrance to a secret realm. It was no wonder that no one had ever found it; it's likely that everyone who passed by simply overlooked it.

How could anyone discover that among a pile of disorderly rocks, seven could be connected to form the shape of the Big Dipper? Even if they could be connected, it would seem quite normal.

Zhao Changhe couldn't figure it out and didn't think too much about it. He looked at the shape of the stone on the drawing and searched through the pile of rocks, actually finding the shape of the stone depicted. Standing on that stone, he closed his eyes to sense his surroundings but did not detect the unusual aura Master Yuan Xing had mentioned.

Just as he was getting frustrated, Yue Hongling, who was on his back, suddenly spoke in a low voice, "There is indeed something strange about this place."

Zhao Changhe quickly set her down, seating her on the stone: "What is it?"

Yue Hongling closed her eyes to sense for a moment: "There is a sense of communion between heaven and man... This is something that only those who have touched the secret can perceive. It's normal that you can't detect it."

Zhao Changhe: "..."

Yue Hongling said, "This is an extremely concealed star chart formation, and we are right at the formation's eye. The person who gave you the information didn't deceive you."

"How do we break the formation?" Zhao Changhe asked, suddenly feeling a very strange sensation in his heart.

It was like the time when he and Yue Hongling had tried to break the star chart formation behind the lingering waters.

Yue Hongling, who had roamed the martial world and was well-versed in such matters, had done extensive research. Even if he knew where the formation's eye was, he wouldn't know how to break it on his own.

But then, Yue Hongling struggled to prop herself up, circled around the position of the Big Dipper, and whispered, "It's good that there are two of us..."

Zhao Changhe: "Hmm?"

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread.com ].

"The Big Dipper shape, particularly the position of Yao Guang at the tail, has an extremely slight deviation. One person needs to stand at Tian Shu to hold the formation's eye steady, while the other moves Yao Guang. With the head and tail corresponding, the true form can be glimpsed."

As she spoke, Yue Hongling stood by a certain stone and pushed it slightly with all her might.

"Click!"

The rumbling sound of the stone rolling suddenly turned into a crisp "click," and then the Big Dipper in the sky shone brightly, revealing a vortex shape amidst the disorderly rocks.

Zhao Changhe was overjoyed, jumped off the stone, and said, "Let's go."

Yue Hongling did not respond.

Turning his head, he saw that she had fainted on the ground.

Zhao Changhe quickly picked her up and jumped directly into the "vortex," disappearing in the blink of an eye.

The moment he jumped down, the displaced stone rolled away a bit more, the vortex disappeared, the stars moved stealthily, and everything returned to its original state, leaving no trace of what had transpired.

Moments later, Chi Li flew by, not even glancing at the disorderly rocks here, and headed straight up the mountain.
