There are too many girls, which greatly delays my cultivation of immortality.

Wufeng Gorge is located more than [-] miles southeast of Linzhou City and borders Zizhou. The terrain here is strange, with two peaks standing side by side, one Big Wu Peak and one Small Wu Peak. The back sides of the two peaks are connected into one body, adjacent to the southern end of Taiyue Mountain. The grand canyon between the two peaks is Wufeng Gorge.

There is a small village called Wuxia Village in the canyon, with only seven or eight households.

The Chu River, the largest river in Chu State, flows through the entrance of the village. Due to the topography, the Chu River flows extremely fast here, with turbulent waves and deafening sound.

An iron cable plank bridge spans both sides of the river, connecting Linzhou and Wuxia Village. It is also the only way to enter the village from land.

From a distance, the Wufeng Gorge is shrouded in clouds and mist, making it look like a fairyland.

However, the transportation in and out is inconvenient, and the Chu River often floods, so most people probably are not willing to live in the canyon. It is said that in the early years, a demoted official lived here in seclusion. Later, it gradually spread out and developed into a village, and they were unwilling to move out.

Ye Qingchen and Nan Peijue crossed the river in the air and landed at the entrance of Wufeng Gorge.

As the two went, they looked into the canyon. The fog is rising in the valley, and the village houses are still unclear for the time being.

The sound of the rushing river behind him became farther and farther away, the surroundings became quieter and quieter, and the scenery in the valley became clearer and clearer.

Ye Qingchen suddenly stopped and discovered a very strange scene.

There was no movement in the village. Not only was there no sound of anyone talking, not even a crowing of cocks or a barking of dogs was heard, as if it was a deserted village that had been abandoned for a long time.

Ye Qingchen's heart suddenly rose, he drew out the Dragon Sword, held it in his hand, and walked forward. Nan Peijue cowered and hid behind him.

Ye Qingchen said angrily: "Coward, can you see the way to enter the secret realm?"

"How can this be possible!" Nan Peijue said, "The reason why the secret realm is secret is because of its hidden attributes."

Ye Qingchen said: "There is no one in the whole village. The Yan family's escort team is also missing. They must have entered the secret realm."

When the two entered the village, they saw that the doors of the houses were all open, everything was messy, and there were mottled blood stains on some floors.

In this scene, it was obvious that there had been a fierce scramble or fight, as if it had just been looted by bandits.

"How could this happen? The Yan family is here to send escorts, not to rob." Ye Qingchen said thoughtfully.

I walked around the village and found nothing.

It was almost dusk and the sky was dark. Being in such a deserted village with no one could not help but feel a bit eerie.

A gust of wind blew by, and Nan Peijue shivered and said: "Brother Chen, we don't know how to enter the secret realm. I'm afraid our trip was in vain, so why not go back!"

Ye Qingchen said nothing, turned and walked out of the village.

When he came to the river bank and looked at the surging river water, he suddenly thought of something.

"Follow me!" He flew up and leaped to the other side of the river.

"What did you find?" Nan Peijue asked.

Ye Qingchen said: "Jiang Jingwei's purpose is to make Yan Chaoyang fall into a trap. If you were Jiang Jingwei, what would you do to make Yan Chaoyang enter the secret realm?"

Nan Peijue thought for a while and couldn't answer.

Ye Qingchen sighed and stopped talking, saying: "Yan Chaoyang came with the escort carriage. The river is so wide. With their strength, they will definitely not be able to cross the river with the escort carriage in the air. They will definitely walk on the iron cable bridge. .”

"Oh!" Nan Peijue suddenly realized, "We just flew over, so we missed the entrance to the secret realm."

Ye Qingchen nodded and said, "Yes, only by following Yan Chaoyang's path can we experience what he experienced."

After that, he walked towards the chain bridge.

The bridge has a huge span and is wobbly when walking on it. Fortunately, they are cultivators, so they are not afraid. If it were ordinary people, the timid ones might not be able to move even an inch.

Nan Peijue said: "No, Brother Chen, Yan Chaoyang and the others are driving a carriage. If they can cross this bridge, how can the carriage pass?"

As Ye Qingchen walked, he thought thoughtfully and said, "I guess they might ask the driver to wait nearby and then carry the box across the bridge."

After a while, the two crossed the chain bridge and came to the shore of Wufeng Gorge again.

However, nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

In front of us, there are still towering Wu Peaks, and behind us, there is still the roaring Chu River.

"What's going on? Is your judgment wrong?" Ye Qingchen said in surprise.

He tried to turn back and walked towards the chain bridge again. Just when he was about to step towards the first wooden board on the bridge, he suddenly saw the hand-cup-thick chain handrail disconnected.

Immediately afterwards, the iron chain carrying the wooden planks also broke, and the entire chain bridge fell directly into the river and sank into the roaring river water.

He didn't know whether to be happy or worried. It seemed that he had entered a secret realm.

He patted Nan Peijue on the shoulder and said, "The next step is up to you!"

After that, he held the Dragon Song Sword and walked towards the village with alert eyes.

The sound of the rushing river behind me became smaller and smaller.

But this time, the scene ahead was very different, and the sound of someone speaking could be vaguely heard.

Soon, a group of people were seen coming towards them, it was Yan Chaoyang, Yan Guinan, Tang Wenfu and ten Yan family bodyguards.

"Master Ye?!" Everyone on the other side stopped in surprise.

Ye Qingchen stepped forward and asked, "Are you okay?"

Yan Chaoyang bowed his hands and said gratefully: "How virtuous and capable is Mr. Yan that he actually asked Mr. Ye to come to the rescue in person?"

Yan Guinan said: "Master Ye, your news is correct. We have really entered the secret realm. Moreover, the entire villagers of Wuxia Village have also been pulled into the secret realm."

"How do you know this is a secret realm?" Ye Qingchen asked.

Yan Guinan said sadly: "Wuxia Village in the canyon has disappeared. There is only an open space there, and 27 people in the village, men, women, old and young, are there. They have no food or water, are hungry and scared, and are almost dying."

According to them, four days ago, more than 100 people suddenly came and looted all the belongings in their home. They thought it was a robbery by bandits, so they could avoid disaster by giving up their money.

Unexpectedly, they were collectively driven to the chain bridge and to the other side of the river. Those people asked them to cross the bridge and return to the village by themselves. They didn't know why and thought they had saved their lives. Unexpectedly, when they came back after crossing the bridge, they found that the village had disappeared. "

Ye Qingchen said in confusion: "The vegetation in this canyon is lush, and there is a river at the mouth of the canyon. How can I just eat something?"

Yan Guinan said: "The plants and the river are all illusions. There is nothing here, just an open space. We tried various ways to cross the river, but they all ended in failure."

Nan Peijue said: "The river is such a huge and complex scene, they can only use illusions to replace it."

Yan Chaoyang sighed and said, "Oh, it's all my fault that I insisted on going my own way and didn't listen to Mr. Ye's advice, so I harmed everyone."

Tang Wenfu said: "The hall master does not need to blame himself. Reputation is the foundation of the Yan family. If it were anyone else, they would have made the same decision."

Ye Qingchen glanced at it and said, "Where is your escort box?"

Tang Wenfu replied: "When we were desperate, we opened the dart box. We wanted to see if there was anything to eat in it that we could take out to help the villagers. Who would have thought, what was inside was..."

Having said this, he gritted his teeth suddenly and stabbed the ground with his sword, looking extremely angry.

The faces of other Yan family members were also burning with anger at this time.
