The Immortal Wife Is Like A Cloud

The giant python’s ice-blue eyes, after a moment of confusion, suddenly flickered with a fierce glint.

As if filled with endless hatred.

But in a flash, it softened again.

As if harboring some kind of affection for Su Jingzhen.

These emotions constantly shifted within its pupils, staring intently at Su Jingzhen.

After a long while, it slowly closed its eyes, its aura returning to a state of tranquility.

…

Time once again flowed by slowly.

Luo Yuebai and Shen Yifeng remained on the canyon’s cliff edge, their gazes fixed on the depths below.

However, after a whole night, the canyon remained eerily quiet, save for the chirping of insects and birds.

The eastern horizon began to lighten with the dawn.

Shen Yifeng’s expression grew heavy with concern.

He looked at Luo Yuebai, whose face remained calm but whose eyes never left the canyon.

He opened his mouth to say something, but it turned into a sigh.

“Third Grandpa, he… he’s really in trouble…”

At that moment, Luo Yuebai suddenly spoke.

Her voice was calm, yet tinged with a hint of sorrow.

Shen Yifeng was taken aback once more.

“Girl, I understand your feelings.

But as cultivators, we often retreat for a period of time, ranging from a few days to several months, and some great cultivators even retreat for years at a time.

This boy is exceptionally talented and a Spiritual Cultivator, so it’s perfectly normal for him to retreat for a day or two.

Besides, it’s only been a day since we last saw him.

There’s really no need to worry too much.”

Shen Yifeng could only offer this consolation.

He knew that Luo Yuebai’s reaction must stem from some kind of sensing.

Given her relationship with Su Jingzhen, it was perfectly natural for her to sense something about him.

Luo Yuebai shook her head, offering no further reply.

Her gaze remained fixed on the canyon.

And just as Luo Yuebai and Shen Yifeng were conversing, a sudden whooshing sound erupted from behind them.

The Golden Flame Eagle suddenly reappeared in their sight.

The figures of Bai Ying, Bai Susu, and the rest of the Bai family materialized beside it.

Luo Yuebai and Shen Yifeng instinctively turned to look.

But they were slightly puzzled.

This group of people from the Bai family were obviously chasing Jiuchi, but they appeared here again.

This meant they had lingered in Linjiang City for the entire night.

It was rather unusual.

The Golden Flame Eagle swooped down and landed on the opposite bank of the canyon.

The ten or so members of the Bai family glanced at Shen Yifeng and Luo Yuebai, their expressions a mixture of surprise and something else.

However, they didn’t offer any greetings.

After all, the encounter at the Evil Moon Sect’s gate hadn’t been particularly pleasant.

“Shen Yifeng and the Sect master of the Evil Moon Sect seem to have spent the night here,” Bai Susu remarked, her voice laced with a hint of curiosity. “Could there be some secret hidden within this canyon?”

“According to information gathered last night, Jiuchi and his disciple took Su Jingzhen up Clear Wind Mountain.

However, only Jiuchi and his disciple returned. Su Jingzhen disappeared without a trace.

Perhaps this canyon is somehow connected to him.”

As she spoke, Bai Susu’s gaze lingered on Luo Yuebai for a moment, her expression turning slightly complex.

She recalled Su Jingzhen’s appearance from the Alchemist Convention, and her heart stirred with a mix of emotions.

During the Alchemist Convention, Bai Susu had also been quite interested in Su Jingzhen and Xuening, even considering recruiting them to the Bai family.

Hearing her words, Bai Ying’s aged brows furrowed sharply.

“You’re talking about that Su Jingzhen who impressed everyone at the Alchemist Convention? He is just a junior. Is he worth it for Shen Yifeng to wait for him all night?”

As she muttered to herself, Bai Ying’s frown deepened.

The entire Bai family sensed that something was amiss.

At that moment, a Nascent Soul cultivator within the Bai family’s ranks looked across the canyon at Luo Yuebai and Shen Yifeng, who were seated cross-legged on the opposite bank.

A flicker of light danced in his eyes.

“Elder, should we take advantage of this opportunity to capture those two demonic cultivators? We have no need to hold back now that we’re on Clear Wind Mountain,” a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Bai family suggested.

His words were met with an icy glare from Bai Ying, causing the cultivator’s heart to skip a beat.

He dared not utter another word. He wasn’t sure which word had angered his elder.

In fact, many Bai family disciples still believed that Bai Ying had held the upper hand in her previous battle with Shen Yifeng.

Although unintentional, his words had felt like rubbing salt in the wound.

“Follow me down to investigate,” Bai Ying said abruptly, changing the subject.

She strode ahead, her dragon-headed cane tapping against the ground as she descended into the canyon.

She didn’t care what Shen Yifeng and Luo Yuebai were doing there or what secrets the canyon held. She needed to investigate for herself.

As the dozen or so members of the Bai family disappeared into the mist below, Luo Yuebai turned to Shen Yifeng.

“Third Grandpa, do you think the Bai family has any methods for detecting hidden spaces? Do you think Bai Ying, with her Soul Formation stage cultivation, could sense the space where he is?”

Shen Yifeng pondered for a moment before his expression brightened.

“I’ve never heard of the Bai family having such abilities, but perhaps we should follow them.

Every cultivator might encounter unique opportunities in their journey. It wouldn’t be strange if they could sense a space we can’t.”

Without hesitation, Shen Yifeng and Luo Yuebai summoned their flying instruments and followed after the Bai family. They kept a distance of about ten zhang behind, maintaining a discreet presence.

The Bai family naturally noticed them, but both sides chose to ignore each other.

“Be careful everyone, this valley doesn’t seem like an ordinary place.”

As they ventured deeper into the valley, Bai Ying suddenly said to the Bai Family disciples.

She then released her Soul Formation stage aura.

It was clear that she sensed something unusual about the valley.

Bai Susu and the others silently nodded.

They immediately drew their weapons.

They were prepared for the potential danger that might arise.

Seeing this, Shen Yifeng and Luo Yuebai’s expressions changed.

A hint of anticipation appeared in their eyes.

The Bai Family continued towards the depths of the valley.

When they reached the location of the strange place, Bai Ying suddenly stopped.

Her gaze was fixed on the space shrouded in thick fog ahead.

“Something is strange here!”

Hearing her mutter to herself, the Bai Family disciples behind her looked at each other in confusion.

In their eyes, the fog here was thick, but there was nothing special about it.

But Bai Ying was a Soul Formation stage cultivator.

In the eyes of the Bai Family disciples, if she said there was a problem, then there definitely was a problem.
