Chapter 1836: Chapter 1834: Return to the Old Land

Walking down the corridor, she was no longer as calm and collected as before.

She was angry, truly angry, her face turned red. What qualifications does Chu Chengfeng have to ask her this question now? Who does he think he is?

Utterly shameless to the extreme, hate him? What kind of thing is he that she should hate him?

Originally, she was in a good mood today, but it was ruined by this dog.

Even Sima Xiaowen didn’t have that much anticipation for going to the Divine Land.

However, everyone else was excited.

They drove there.

A total of over twenty people in six cars.

Sima Xiaowen was in Xino’s car.

Liu Ling naturally stayed with Chu Chengfeng, and Chu Chengfeng would never let her out of his sight. This woman is sometimes viciously ruthless, sometimes foolishly arrogant; you never know what she’ll do next.

That’s why he has to keep an eye on her.

In two days, they reached their destination— a large mountain range, hundreds of miles away from the nearest homes.

But at the foot of the mountain, there’s a small town.

Their group was quite conspicuous, but they had made preparations in advance, donning work clothes and carrying some equipment. No one approached them to inquire, but people guessed they were probably from a geological exploration team.

Because only people from a geological exploration team would dress like this and have such gear.

So they entered the mountain smoothly.

Due to miasma, few people come here, including people from neighboring towns; they don’t hunt here.

Although there are plenty of wild animals here, no amount of game is more important than one’s life.

So it was very quiet here, with only the sound of footsteps crunching on fallen leaves and small animals scurrying away at their arrival.

Leading the way was Chu Chengfeng, as he was the only one who knew the specific location.

After walking all morning, they stopped at noon in front of a bush in a valley. The entrance was here, and it was where the miasma was most severe, fortunately, they had special bloodlines and were not afraid of this. Otherwise, others would collapse after a few steps.

It was Xino’s first time experiencing something like this; he was more curious than anything, having grown up in the Foreign Lands without the elders’ eager desire to return.

Yet the scene was enough to thrill him, as it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He followed behind Chu Chengfeng.

Watching Chu Chengfeng’s actions closely, at this moment, Sima Xiaowen took out the Nirvana Stone.

Xino held the Red Phoenix in his hand.

Standing in the middle, Chu Chengfeng stirred his Spiritual Fire to disperse the miasma around the bush, revealing a flat boulder.

They placed the Red Phoenix and Nirvana Stone on it.

Suddenly, red and black flames ignited around the boulder. In the blink of an eye, the scene before them changed.

Elder Sima and Elder San Ye, their eyes brimming with tears, rushed forward. They had finally returned after so many years, never thought they would open this place within their lifetime and return to their old grounds. The emotions were indescribable and unparalleled for anyone who hasn’t experienced the same.

Liu Ling was the happiest, but to be safe, she suppressed her joy inside. Not far away was the main hall of the Divine Land, she knew there were seals there and believed, as she did the last time, this time they would surely succeed.

Unfortunately, Shui Liuzi couldn’t be with her to witness this miracle, but that man was useless; despite all the good things given to him, his Cultivation never improved.

So his death was not a loss.

Standing at the entrance, looking ahead, it resembled an ancient town.

Though no one had set foot there for years, it seemed vibrant and lush with greenery.

They had arranged everything in advance, so each elder took their clan members to their respective territories.

Chu Chengfeng took Liu Ling to the Divine Temple where the Clan Leader lived.

This was the residence for generations of Clan Leaders.

Standing there, Chu Chengfeng felt a mix of emotions; his father was always strict, rarely seen smiling, but after his stepmother came, he smiled more.

At that time, he felt uncomfortable, but he dared not speak, keeping these thoughts suppressed.

He knew he should not harbor these feelings, yet unexpectedly, it was his stepmother who had ulterior motives, and he still didn’t understand why she acted this way.

Moreover, he didn’t know the origins of this woman.

He glanced at Liu Ling standing beside him, excitement on her face, thinking she might know.

But how should he ask?

Chu Chengfeng clenched his hand at his side, then lightly shifted his gaze.

In the evening, elders gathered in the Divine Temple to decide to hold the sacrificial ceremony three days later.

Because that day was an auspicious one, ideal for the sacrificial rites. In three days, members of the Phoenix Clan and Imperial Clan mostly tidied their old dwellings, discarding what needed to be thrown away, putting away what needed to be kept.

Some elders didn’t want to leave.

They no longer had the chance for Nirvana, so they planned to live here for the rest of their lives.

Apart from not having electricity, everything else was fine.

You could buy daily necessities in nearby towns.

They stored their cars in the courtyard of a wealthy family in town, paying rent for it. Being in the south, at this time of year, there was no problem leaving cars outside.

Moreover, their preparations before arriving were thorough.

No one doubted their identity or origin.

But if they were constantly coming and going, it would raise suspicion. To settle down, they needed a safe plan, but it wasn’t urgent; currently, everyone was preparing for the sacrificial ceremony.

That was the most important thing.

During these three days, everyone knew Chief Mo Li and his future Clan Leader’s wife Liu Ling shared very good rapport, as Chu Chengfeng always took her wherever he went.

Xino said this, even carefully observing Sima Xiaowen’s expression.

He couldn’t quite describe his feelings.

So he could only attribute it to curiosity, "Xiaowen, are you okay?"

Sima Xiaowen looked at him puzzled, asking, "Do you think anything should be wrong with me?"

Xino chuckled, "As long as you’re fine. Whatever happens between those two doesn’t concern us."

"Stop with the ’us,’ ’us’ talk; your relationship with me isn’t that close," Sima Xiaowen uncompromisingly said.

"Over time, we’ll get acquainted; after all, we both have the Phoenix Clan’s bloodline, right Xiaowen?" Xino smiled brightly.

"Today I realized you really do chatter a lot."

"That’s because you haven’t known me long; I have many other great qualities you haven’t discovered yet," Xino said half-jokingly.
