Xu Chong, who was standing on the other side of the alchemy furnace, seemed to feel the fluctuation of spiritual energy as well and turned to look at He Ronger.

His blank expression just now changed at this moment.

"Junior sister, is it really you?"

He turned around and faced He Ronger, his eyes revealing longing, reluctance, and a hint of heartache.

He Ronger was confused by Xu Chong's words. She wanted to raise her hand to try whether this guy had a fever. Why did he become so weird?

Unfortunately, she was not tall enough, so she could only tilt her neck and ask:

"Xu Chong, are you okay?"

"Junior sister, you are really alive? That's great." Xu Chong approached He Ronger and stretched out a hand to touch her hair, but He Ronger dodged it.

"Xu Chong, don't move. Who is your junior sister? Did you recognize the wrong person?"

From the time they met until now, Xu Chong has never called me "Junior Sister" whenever he sees me, but always calls me Rong Yatou Rong Yatou.

At this time, Zou Mubai walked over quickly. He stood directly in front of He Ronger, looked directly into "Xu Chong's" eyes and asked, "Who are you?"

Xu Chong turned his eyes and looked at Zou Mubai. The moment he saw his face clearly, his eyes were filled with excitement: "Big Brother, is it really you? You are still alive, too. That's great."

Zou Mubai's mind went blank.

What did this person call him?

Senior brother?

Who is he? Xiu Wen, Si Yao, or Yu Shu?

"Big Brother, it's me, Ying Qi."

"Ying Qi? Why are you here? Isn't this Si Yao's territory?"

He remembered that a thousand years ago, Ying Qi founded the Wanjing Sect. As the leader of a sect, how could he end up with his soul separated?

"Big Brother, you must save Si Yao, he..." Before Ying Qi could finish his words, he squatted on the ground with his head covered, and then fainted for some unknown reason.

He Ronger couldn't understand the conversation between the two, but it seemed that Uncle Zou and the "person" in Xu Chong's body were old acquaintances.

The law enforcement elder also saw the unconscious Xu Chong and trotted over nervously.

Seeing Xu Chong lying unconscious, He Ronger quickly stepped forward to feel his pulse. After a while, she looked up and said, "His mind is a little unstable, but there is nothing serious."

The law enforcement elder heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. He looked at Zou Mubai and asked, "What happened to him? Is he going to be promoted too?"

Zou Mubai didn't say anything, and his eyes fell on the alchemy furnace in front of him, "Rong'er, did you feel anything unusual on the alchemy furnace just now?"

He Ronger let go of Xu Chong's hand and shook her head: "I just felt warm and comfortable, and then I was promoted. Otherwise, I will try again."

After saying this, he raised his hand again and touched the alchemy furnace.

At this time, the law enforcement elder also looked curious.

He looked He Ronger up and down again, and confirmed that she had really advanced, and he was very excited.

Touching the furnace would allow him to advance to the next level. He couldn't miss such a good opportunity. So he raised his hand and touched the furnace.

But after he felt around for a long time, he didn't see anything unusual, so he frowned and asked, "What's going on? Why can't I feel any spiritual power fluctuations?"

At this moment, He Ronger, who was standing next to him, was sweating all over, with his eyes closed and a look of pain on his face.

"No, no, don't catch them, they are innocent..." He Ronger murmured softly, then fell down and fainted, lying next to Xu Chong.

Zou Mubai walked forward worriedly to check, and was relieved only after confirming that He Ronger had just fainted and was not seriously injured.

He looked at the law enforcement elder and said, "Quick, take them out and let Sect Master Yuan take a look."

The law enforcement elder did not dare to delay and took Xu Chong on his back and walked out.

The group quickly left the forbidden area and went to the main hall to find Sect Master Yuan.

After giving both of them a pill to relieve their mental strength, Yuan Sheng looked at the two unconscious people and asked in a deep voice: "What happened to them? Didn't we just go in to take a look? How did they become like this?"

The law enforcement elder didn't know how to explain it, he just kept winking at Zou Mubai.

On the way here just now, Zou Mubai told him that if he didn't want anything to happen to these two people, he should not say anything for the time being.

How dare he refute?

These two people are people that the master cares about. One is the grandson of a close friend, and the other is an extremely talented alchemist. He cannot bear the responsibility if anything happens to either of them.

After a long while, Zou Mubai finally spoke: "Law Enforcement Elder, please go out first. I have something to say to Sect Master Yuan."

The law enforcement elder felt as if he had been pardoned. He quickly bowed and slipped away.

Yuan Sheng looked at Zou Mubai.

Before he could ask, Zou Mubai spoke first: "Who is this Xu Chong? What is his relationship with Wan Jing Sect?"

Yuan Sheng was stunned, "You...how do you know Wan Jing Sect?"

"Answer my question first. What is the relationship between Xu Chong and Wan Jing Sect?" Zou Mubai's eyes were cold, without a trace of emotion.

"I..." Yuan Sheng hesitated.

Should he reveal Xu Chong’s life story?

But once he speaks out, he may be in danger.

"Don't you want to know the whereabouts of your sect's ancestor?" Zou Mubai dropped a bombshell at the right time.

"What? You know the whereabouts of our ancestor?" Wan Sheng looked at Zou Mubai excitedly.

"Don't waste your time with me. Tell me, who is Xu Chong?"

After a brief ideological struggle, Yuan Sheng finally sighed and said slowly: "Speaking of which, it's all my fault that I was too conceited back then and failed to protect Lao Xu's family."

"Sixteen years ago, I went to the human world to carry out a sect mission. I met Xu Chong's grandfather and became close friends with him. Later, at Xu Chong's full moon banquet, people from the demon clan sneaked in and killed many ordinary people."

"I drank a lot that day, so I was careless and failed to save the Xu family in time. All the Xu family members were killed, and only Xu Chong, who was just one month old, was taken away by a demon."

"Later, I chased after them and fought with the demons. Although I finally rescued Xu Chong, it was too late. The child was infected by the demonic energy and his life was hanging by a thread. Fortunately, a disciple of the Wanjing Sect passed by and read a passage of scripture to him, which drove away most of the demonic energy and saved his life."

"What about the disciples of Wan Jing Zong?"

"He left after saving Xu Chong. I don't know where he went."

"Is there anything else wrong with Xu Chong's body?"

"This child has been weak since he was young, and has a strange temper. He doesn't like to interact with people and often hurts himself. Later, I consulted many doctors and pharmacists, but they were all helpless against him. Just five years ago, he suddenly fell into the water and passed out. When he woke up, he seemed like a different person, with a cheerful personality."

"Master Yuan, have you ever thought about investigating the cause?"

"After all, I am the leader of a sect and have no time to travel. I can only leave him in the care of a good friend and only go back to see him once or twice a year. This was also told to me by my good friend. I think he is better now than when he was a child, so I didn't investigate further."
