Chapter 66: Remnant of Cave Residence

“Master-Uncle!” Bai Jinfei was immediately crestfallen.

“It’s no use to call me Master-Uncle at a time like this,” Chen Jingzhai said with a smile as he took away Bai Jinfei’s storage bag and transportation slip.

He picked up the nine-section bamboo staff and gently tapped it against the ground.

Under Chen Jingzhai’s control, the grass and trees on the ground flourished quickly.

Bai Jinfei was tied up tight and then hung upside down in the air.

This whole process was done in one go, without wasting any time.

“As long as you are not killed and your spiritual power is not sealed off, the transportation slip will not be activated.” Chen Jingzhai’s bone sword tapped beneath Bai Jinfei’s crotch as he continued, “Do you know what to do?”

The iciness passed through his robe, and Bai Jinfei shuddered. Then, without any choice, he nodded.

“Then answer the question I just asked you!” said Chen Jingzhai.

“Everyone came in as aspirant cultivators. When we entered the clan, we had to stay as casual disciples to be tested for 30 to 50 years. Only after we enter the Foundation Establishment Plane can we be promoted as inner disciples. Why should you become Uncle-Master as soon as you enter the clan?” Bai Jinfei said.

“That’s it?” Chen Jingzhai said, finding this whole notion a little hilarious. “Don’t you know that I had passed the test of the twenty-eight before I was named among true disciples and that I was accepted especially as a junior brother by the headmaster?”

“But you did not pass the first Kouxin Pass,” Bai Jinfei retorted stubbornly while looking at him. “Not to mention you lack experience as a casual disciple. So why should you be a class higher than us? We are not convinced of it!”

“And now? Do you submit now?” Chen Jingzhai asked with a smile.

“I do now!” Bai Jinfei smiled wryly. “Master-Uncle is different from what they said.”

“They?” Chen Jingzhai raised an eyebrow. “Who else?”

“Peers from other peaks,” Bai Jinfei said honestly. “We are connected by Senior Brother Lin Feiyang from Divine Flame Peak. We only accepted the mission this time after hearing that Master-Uncle was coming to the secret zone.”

“Lin Feiyang from Divine Flame Peak?” Chen Jingzhai was silent.

“Exactly,” Bai Jinfei said, glancing at him. “All the other branches responded as well, not just us. Even Daoxuan Peak has people who dislike Master-Uncle, especially Li Yifei.”

“I see!” Chen Jingzhai said lightly. “Is there anything else you want to tell me?”

“We agreed to meet every 30 days,” Bai Jinfei said after hesitating. “The meeting location is on the highest mountain peak. In addition to sharing the whereabouts of Master-Uncle, we also share other discoveries in the secret zone.”

“What did you discover?” Chen Jingzhai withdrew the bone sword.

“There are two.” Bai Jinfei was being very honest. “One is that the Little Master-Uncle obtained two lotus seeds in the river valley. That is the main ingredient for making the Lotus Potion, so it is extremely valuable. The other was that the disciples of Daoxuan Peak have discovered the remnant of the cave residence, and they are currently working on getting inside of it.”

“Who spread the news about me?” Chen Jingzhai asked.

“I don’t know.” Bai Jinfei shook his head. “Everyone chatted when we met, and that is how the news spread. There are more than 100 disciples from 12 peaks, and the communication network is vast.”

“Tell me the location of the cave residence,” said Chen Jingzhai.

After Bai Jinfei finished speaking, a warm force wrapped around him just as he was about to plead for mercy.

Watching Bai Jinfei disappear right before him, Chen Jingzhai frowned slightly.

Bai Jinfei did not seem to be lying, but why would Lin Feiyang target him?

But it did not matter, not really. And it did not matter what the reasons were. If they would ever see each other, then they would probably fight all the way out of the secret zone. The most important thing at the moment was the remnant of the cave residence. The remnant of the cave residence, protected by Restriction, was of great value.

Chen Jingzhai began thinking as he opened up Bai Jinfei’s storage bag.

There was a lot of Grade 2 medicinal material and some spiritual ores.

The most valuable one was a piece of precious jade. It was only about the size of a palm and was completely black.

It was a floral ink jade with a natural floral pattern on its back. As a Grade 3 spirit jade, it was of great value.

Chen Jingzhai was playing with the ink jade in his hand as a smile appeared on his face.

He could almost imagine Bai Jinfei’s annoyance when he was sent out of the secret zone.

“These unruly disciple nephews need to be taught a lesson!”

Chen Jingzhai said to himself before transferring all the items into his storage bag.

He then stepped onto the bone sword and flew toward the position given by Bai Jinfei.

After he left, the flowers, plants, and trees withered instantly without leaving any conspicuous traces.

The Thirtieth Day inside the secret zone.

Chen Jingzhai walked on the mountain path with the nine-section bamboo staff in hand and the bone sword on his back.

In the distance was the highest mountain peak, which had yet to be named.

He did not listen to Bai Jinfei’s account to find trouble with the disciples of Divine Flame Peak.

There was a high probability that he would be unable to locate them.

The secret zone was not as peaceful as previously imagined.

With more than a hundred disciples entering the secret zone, the balance inside the area had been disrupted.

There were killings and lootings of resources everywhere, and it was inevitable that there would be disturbances.

As a result, the situation inside the secret zone was becoming more complicated.

The tallest mountain peak looked quiet and majestic, but how much danger was hidden within it?

Several Grade 3 demonic beasts had been sighted, and who could say that there were not more hidden in the mountains?

Bai Jinfei’s intention was not entirely benevolent, and Chen Jingzhai did not listen to him completely.

However, it was true that the disciples of Daoxuan Peak had found the remnant of the cave residence because Chen Jingzhai had already felt the traces of the formation at that time.

“It’s the Concealing Moon Formation, and it seems that Sun Changrong is here too!” Chen Jingzhai remarked to himself.

Among the Foundational Cultivators, Sun Changrong was the only one who could arrange the Concealing Moon Formation.

The most important thing was to gather all three flags, which was not an easy task, nor was it easy to arrange the formation successfully.

Among the disciples of Daoxuan Peak, no one was more dedicated to formations than Sun Changrong.

Even Li Yifei, who was also from Daoxuan Peak, was slightly less capable in formation when compared to Sun Changrong.

Chen Jingzhai did not evade but took a step forward and entered the formation.

After walking a few steps in the formation, he appeared in front of the mouth of the cave.

“Little Master-Uncle!” Two disciples from Daoxuan Peak came out of the cave and greeted him.

They were the two disciples from Daoxuan Peak who evacuated with Sun Changrong.

“I heard that you guys are trying to break down the Restriction on the cave residence,” Chen Jingzhai said with a smile.

“Yes!” a disciple replied. “Senior Brother Sun and Li Yifei are both here, as well as Senior Brother Chu Jingsong from Sky Whale Peak and Senior Brother Jiang Youning from Lijian Peak.”

“They were studying the Restriction and asked us to lead Master-Uncle inside!” another disciple added.

“Then let’s go and have a look!” Chen Jingzhai nodded as he stepped forward and entered through the entrance of the cave.

He floated upward and flew inside the cave with the other two disciples from Daoxuan Peak.

After going through three passages, the front suddenly opened up.

At the end of the passageway, there was a vast open space.

The pavilions and halls inside this space, along with palaces and mansions, were perfectly intact, bathing in the luminescence of the spirit light.

In front of the palace gate, a group of genius talents was blasting against the Restriction set on the entryway.

Under the guidance of Sun Changrong, Chu Jingsong, Jiang Youning, and the others were attacking the weak areas of the Restriction.

They did not stop even when Chen Jingzhai arrived.

But it was Sun Changrong who clasped his hands and saluted Chen Jingzhai. “Little Master-Uncle!”

“No need to be so formal,” Chen Jingzhai exclaimed. “How did you find this place?”

“It was Junior Brother Yifei,” said Sun Changrong with a smile. “Junior Brother Yifei has an unparalleled observation. Thanks to his powerful eyes, many clues were discovered—the same with the discovery of the cave residence this time.”

“Oh?” Chen Jingzhai descended from the sky while looking toward Li Yifei. “So you are Li Yifei of Daoxuan Peak, who was born with an astral vision and then developed the Yin and Yang Double Eyes Pattern?”

“Does the Little Master-Uncle have any instructions for me?” Li Yifei asked nonchalantly.

It was not the first time everyone had met one another. After all, they came to the secret zone at the same time. However, at that time, several people from Daoxuan Peak, including Li Yifei himself, had ignored Chen Jingzhai.

This time, everyone’s attitude had changed, especially Sun Changrong, who was extremely courteous. It was solely because everyone had recognized Chen Jingzhai’s performance in the river valley.

Otherwise, Li Yifei would never have allowed Chen Jingzhai to enter this place.
