When the sky darkened, Xie Ziyou did not notice. He only thought that the manservant was angry at him and found some thick paper boards to cover the window, completely isolating him from the room.

But the moment the carriage appeared, the strong light penetrated the sandpaper and lit up the room as if it was daytime.

Even though there was a paper window between them, Xie Ziyou could feel the vigorous and hot energy, surging like the waves of the sea. Under the pressure of a powerful cultivator, even the Forbidding Xuan Talisman set up in the room was affected and became unstable.

Outside the room, the manservant shouted in fear, "I am ignorant and offended the immortal master. Please forgive me!"

What immortal master?

Xie Ziyou ran to the window in surprise. He wanted to poke a small hole in the paper window with his fingertips to find out what was going on. He did not expect that the window was unguarded. With a gentle push, it opened with a squeak.

The scene outside the window came into view.

The golden jade chariot soared through the clouds and mist, and it emitted clear howls that pierced through the sky. Above the dome, the sea of clouds roiled while the horizon collapsed, and a myriad of sparkling golden lights surged out through the cracks and sprayed down wantonly, causing every single inch of the ground to be dyed in a gorgeous golden light.

"… Damn."

Xie Ziyou's eyes were filled with golden light. His fingers were pressed against the window frame. He was stunned for a moment and whispered, "Who is it? Why is he so showy?"

"Who cares?" The System anxiously reminded him, "This is a good opportunity. You, run!"

Xie Ziyou's eyes lit up.

While the manservant was still kneeling, he flipped over and took out the sword bone from under his pillow. He put it in his arms, then gently grabbed the windowsill and jumped!

At this moment, the carriage was hovering above Chea Prefecture. Jin Long was baring his fangs and brandishing his claws. He rushed down aggressively, his long tail drawing a sharp arc in the air.

The manservants, who had heard the noise and wanted to look up, trembled and bent down. They covered their heads with their hands and did not dare to move.

Xie Ziyou was not afraid of Jin Long.

If there was any trouble, it would be the trouble of Chea Prefecture and Xie Yushen. What did it have to do with him?

He crouched down and quickly ran down the long corridor. He carefully bypassed the front yard and turned a corner in the shadow of the corner — finally, he was out of the range of the Forbidden Xuan Talisman.

Like a fish swimming into the water or a bird flying into the forest, Xie Ziyou's entire body became comfortable the moment he came into contact with the Qi. His sluggish blood flow accelerated and his Xuan Dan started working again. The warm current in his meridians reappeared and flowed through his limbs and bones, warming his slightly cold fingertips.

Xie Ziyou raised his head in satisfaction and breathed heavily towards the sky.

The air was fresh, and there was a faint mist floating in the wind.

Xie Ziyou bent her fingers and flicked off a few drops of dew on the green bamboo leaves in the corner of the courtyard. She grabbed the bamboo and pressed it hard. At the same time, she tiptoed and her long gown fluttered in the wind. She was about to jump onto the black brick wall.

The brocade boots kicked the middle section of the wall, scraping off a layer of gravel and dust before sliding down.

Xie Ziyou: "???"

In mid-air, the youth hurriedly stretched out his hands to grab the tiles on the wall. After struggling for a while, he finally hung on to the top of the wall and did not fall on his butt.

Yingbai's cheeks were stained with a few strands of dust. Her hair band was hooked by a stone edge and fell off. Her black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall.

Xie Ziyou's hands clung to the corners of the bricks and tiles. She took several deep breaths and finally climbed onto the eaves.

He awkwardly wiped the sweat from his forehead. Lê Lê's peach blossom eyes were faintly red. He angrily said, "What the hell is this? The wall is so high?"

This height was naturally nothing to Xie Ziyou in the past.

However, he had just come out from an area where his Internal Force was depleted. Although a large amount of Internal Force was rushing towards his Xuan Dan, it would still take some time to fill up his meridians.

Because of this, Xie Ziyou did not dare to casually jump between the eaves. He could only cling to the corners of the eaves and carefully move. He was afraid that he would lose his footing and suddenly fall from the top of the wall.

As he moved from high up, the people kneeling in the courtyard did not notice him at all.

Chea Prefecture was very large and occupied a large area. However, as Xie Ziyou moved towards the edge of the prefecture, he gradually realized that something was not right.

The view from high up was broad. Xie Ziyou's sharp eyes discovered that in just one night, many of the furnishings in the prefecture had changed.

Rockery, bamboo, willow trees, and even a few ponds had been filled in overnight. A few side courtyards had been pushed down and tall rocks had been erected on top of the ruins.

There were talismans stuck on the rocks. The Xuan patterns were extremely complicated. Xie Ziyou squinted his eyes and looked at them from afar for a long time. However, he could not identify them.

"Don't be impatient," the System said. "I'll go check right away."

As soon as Xie Ziyou responded, he saw the hovering golden jade carriage quietly open. As the thin veil was gently lifted, a black-clothed youth strode out. His hair shone brightly under the golden sunlight, echoing with the dark gold hibiscus pattern embroidered on the corners of his brocade sleeves. His handsome face was well-defined, his sword-like eyebrows were slanted, and his eyes were as bright as stars.

A rain of flowers appeared out of thin air, fluttering in the wind and sprinkling on the youth's shoulders. The elegant fragrance drifted far away, making him look even more leisurely and carefree.

Xie Ziyou leaned against the wall and was momentarily stunned.

He muttered in disbelief, "Xie … Heng?"

… …

Xie Yushen was even more incredulous than Xie Ziyou.

He stared at Xie Heng in bewilderment. His eyes were as round as gongs, and he stood rooted to the ground like half a block of wood.

"How could it be you?"

Xie Yushen muttered. His hand that was stroking his beard subconsciously pulled, and a few strands of his beard fell off.

The man hissed in pain, but his gaze was still fixed on Xie Heng. He could not help but say, "How could it be you!"

"It's all thanks to you," Xie Heng's eyes curved into crescents as he smiled. "Not only did I not die, but I also made friends and found my biological father.

Speaking of which, this has really solved a question that I've always had since I was young. How could a mediocre person like you give birth to such a valiant and talented son like me? "

With every word Xie Heng said, Xie Yushen's face turned a shade paler.

In particular, when Xie Heng mentioned the word "biological father," it pierced the deepest pain in Xie Yushen's heart.

Xie Yushen looked at the energetic and high-spirited young man in front of him.

Although his cultivation level was not the same as before Peeling Bone, he was not a powerless mortal. It was obvious that Xie Heng had a fortuitous encounter outside and re-embarked on the path of cultivation. The speed of his progress and the purity of his Xuan Li were far greater than before.

The embroidered robe he wore was loose, and there was a faint spiritual light flowing around the front of his sleeves, forming mysterious symbols. The symbols fluttered without wind, making him look even more elegant and graceful, like a banished immortal.

The lapel at the collar was slightly open, revealing healthy wheat-colored skin and a jade pendant that was half-hidden. A faint green light shone out from the depths of the jade, and the starlight within it was undulating like a tiny Milky Way.

… They were all top-grade immortal items that Xie Yushen could not name.

Not to mention wearing it, just looking at the petals that fell from the sky and were stepped on by Xie Heng, every single one of them was full of spiritual energy. Just smelling a trace of fragrance at the tip of one's nose was enough to make one feel refreshed and their cultivation advance a bit.

Xie Yushen's breathing quickened, and his gaze suddenly fell on Xie Heng's slender hand, which was hanging by his side.

There were two rings on Fair Complexion's fingers. The design was simple, but there was a faint sense of supreme power.

They were most likely space rings that were hard to buy even with money.

Xie Yushen's heart ached as he thought, "I don't even have one, but this little brat is wearing two …" But then he thought of a rumor, and his heart trembled.

… There was another possibility. Perhaps an almighty cultivator had used a heavenly technique to engrave his aura on the surface of the rings as a deterrent and protection.

Xie Yushen was terrified. His hand tilted, and half of his beard was pulled off.

But the more his heart trembled, the more he could not help but glance at Xie Heng and the golden jade carriage behind him. His eyes were bloodshot, almost red.

There was a crazy voice in his heart, "Leave this little brat's life and kill all the people hiding in the carriage. These things should belong to me, and only I deserve to enjoy them …"

Only I!

Xie Yushen tried his best to suppress the crazy thoughts in his heart and forced a smile on his face.

"My child …" He blinked desperately and squeezed out a few drops of tears from his bloodshot eyes. His voice trembled as he said, "It's good that you're fine. It's good that you're fine. I was confused before. Please don't blame me!"

"Now that you've found your biological father, I'm very relieved."

"You see, my Xie family has raised you for more than ten years, and we've spent countless manpower and resources.

Now that our merits offset our faults, let's … forget about our enmity! "

Xie Heng was so angry that he almost burst out laughing.

Countless resources … Is this person referring to the leaky and abandoned courtyard, the monthly allowance that was reduced to a few copper coins, and the leftovers that were so cold that they were rotten?

This person really knows how to flatter himself.

… But it doesn't matter.

Xie Heng closed his eyes slightly.

The teenager sighed with emotion. No matter how harsh Chea Prefecture was to him, they had at least given him a place to stay before he became an adult.

In this way, he could forget about the heart-wrenching pain of having his Sword Bone dug out. His main purpose of coming here today was not to get his Sword Bone dug out.

Xie Heng raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly. He suddenly said, "Is Xie Ziyou home?"

Xie Yushen was stunned.

The middle-aged man sensed that something was wrong. Before he could speak, he heard Xie Heng sigh. "In the past, I was unfamiliar with him, and we were never close. I didn't expect that during this trip to the secret realm, we would get along so well."

Xie Heng's sharp eyebrows were tinged with gentleness. It was as if just by saying the name that was on the tip of his heart, he had already fallen into a soft embrace.

He smiled slightly and said loudly, "Xie Yushen, our grudges can be written off. But can you please ask You to come out and let me see you?"

"This …"

Xie Yushen's right eyelid twitched violently. His lips moved uneasily, and a storm rose in his heart.

Damn it, how did these two get together?

No, I can't let this little brat see Xie Ziyou!

If they meet, wouldn't all my hard work go to waste?

Xie Heng saw the middle-aged man's hesitant expression. Even if it was only for a moment, it made the teenager's heart tremble violently.

Xie Heng's sharp eyebrows suddenly became sharp. His handsome eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes revealed a cold light. It was as if a long sword had been unsheathed. He asked loudly, "Why, are You not in the mansion?"

"… Yes, of course I am!"

Xie Yushen's reaction was extremely fast. He made up his mind in an instant.

He licked his teeth fiercely. The sinister thoughts in his heart took over, but his face revealed a kind and amiable smile. He called out to Xie Heng and said, "Child, come here. I will take you to see him."

At the same time, Xie Yushen silently took a few steps back and stepped on a polished bluestone.

A talisman that was as black as ink fell from his sleeve and fell into the middle-aged man's palm. He held it tightly at his fingertips.

That bluestone was the eye of the Great Furnace Array.

— — Although he was not as rich as Xie Heng's immortal family and could casually take out a precious spiritual weapon, the Great Furnace Array set up by the Xie family's hundred years of savings and the ancient incomplete map as the foundation could be put up!

However, although the array was set up, the main ingredient was missing.

Xie Yushen thought with heartache. If this happened, he would not be able to form the elixir. Who knew how many Xuan Li would disappear into thin air?

… … But it didn't matter. He would pull this little brat in front of him and the guy hiding in the carriage into the sacrificial array.

This was an act of cutting off all means of retreat. It was the last obstacle before Xie Yushen stepped on the path to heaven. If he did not succeed, he would die for a righteous cause!

A sinister look appeared in the middle-aged man's reddened eyes. However, he lowered his head slightly and concealed it very well.

Xie Heng also had doubts in his heart. However, the senior brothers and sisters behind him undoubtedly gave him a lot of confidence. His eagerness to see Youyou overshadowed everything else. The young man lifted his feet and walked step by step into the center of the array.

Suddenly, a hoarse shout came from the top of the wall outside the courtyard. "Be careful!"

Xie Heng turned his head abruptly.

Xie Ziyou stood unsteadily on the top of the wall with his hands clasped around his mouth. His beautiful peach blossom eyes were full of anxiety. He looked up and shouted, "He set up the Great Furnace Array!"

— — The unreliable System only gave him a confirmation now. He was so anxious that he almost fell off the wall!

Xie Heng's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, "Youyou — —"

At the same time, Xie Yushen poured his Xuan Qi into the talisman in his hand and threw it out fiercely!

Red lines in the shape of a cauldron appeared on the talisman. They looked like flowing flames and rolling magma.

Hot wind swarmed over. Xie Heng's vision blurred. In an instant, he was surrounded by a sea of fire. It was as if he was surrounded by a scorching sun. Flames rose all around him and fiercely spat out tongues of fire as they rushed toward him!
