Secluded Valley, on the hillside.
To the right, Huaa Ruoran’s head rested on Mon Tianran’s shoulder, and neither of them spoke.
Silently, they watched that beautiful sunset.
In this world that revered Martial Arts, such peaceful moments were exceedingly rare.
To the left, Dao Xiaoyao and Qin Chen sat together. Seeing Huaa Ruoran and Mon Tianran next to them, Dao Xiaoyao sneaked another glance at Qin Chen, who was closing his eyes in meditation, and her eyes flickered.
Then, Dao Xiaoyao slowly started to move toward Qin Chen’s position.
Until she moved next to Qin Chen.
Seeing Qin Chen still in a state of meditation, Dao Xiaoyao, for some reason, felt a little thrill of happiness.
She wanted to rest her head on Qin Chen’s shoulder, mimicking Huaa Ruoran.
At that moment, Dao Xiaoyao’s cheek also revealed a faint beautiful smile.
But just as her head was about to rest on Qin Chen’s shoulder,
the seemingly oblivious Qin Chen suddenly blurted out, "Are you sick?"
Dao Xiaoyao’s face instantly stiffened.
At that moment, she felt as if all the beauty had shattered to pieces.
She clenched her teeth and stared at the unchanging expression on Qin Chen, who kept his eyes closed and continued his meditation, feeling irritated.
As time slowly passed, the sunset faded and night fell.
This comfort, free of all worries, was a truly satisfying feeling for Qin Chen.
Perhaps this should be the life at the end of his road.
Watching the sunset with the one he loved, sitting under the night sky, watching the stars sprinkled across the sky, feeling the gentle breeze from the heaven and earth—it was a truly wonderful scene.
But gatherings always ended in departures.
Qin Chen and Mon Tianran decided to stay in Love Valley for a few more days.
Mon Tianran thought the place, with its rich Heaven and Earth Essence, was an excellent spot for cultivation, and he prepared to try to break through to the Earth Origin Ninth Layer.
Qin Chen was here for cultivation and, more importantly, to wait for Little Fairy to create the Array Map of the Great Red Charm Trap Array.
Huaa Ruoran and Dao Xiaoyao were preparing to leave.
Soon, the powerhouses from the Four Great Legendary Forces would arrive.
Both of them also wanted to join a Legendary Force for their cultivation, so they couldn’t delay.
Before leaving, Huaa Ruoran suddenly asked Mon Tianran with a slight blush on her face.
"Of course I will," Mon Tianran nodded with a face full of reluctance.
Seeing this, Dao Xiaoyao glanced at Qin Chen next to her and suddenly also spoke up, "Rogue, will you miss me?"
Qin Chen glanced at Dao Xiaoyao indifferently, then turned his head away, leaving a remark, "Not at all, rest assured."
Dao Xiaoyao stomped her foot in frustration, deeply regretting why she had impulsively asked Qin Chen such a question.
The exit of Love Valley was at the top of the valley. One left without turning back, the other reluctantly, but both finally departed together.
"Do you really have no feelings for that Dao Xiaoyao?"
After the two left, Mon Tianran curiously asked.
"That kind of woman, whoever marries her is unlucky," Qin Chen stated flatly.
Even without Lin Songyun, Qin Chen probably wouldn’t choose a woman as troublesome as Dao Xiaoyao.
Mon Tianran was taken aback, then shook his head.
"Let’s attempt the breakthrough to the Earth Origin Ninth Layer now..." Mon Tianran murmured.
Then, the two directly sat down in a lotus position, fully immersing themselves into the state of cultivation.
Three days passed quickly.
Now, at the entrance of Love Valley, on the hill.
A group of people suddenly appeared from the distant horizon, arriving here.
A young man garbed in a fiery red robe, with an undeniable air of arrogant dominance, approached the area and directly questioned another youth standing beside him, devoid of any color in his face.
That colorless-faced youth was, in fact, Waay Shi.
"Yes, it’s here," Waay Shi promptly nodded.
His eyes flickered intensely with a sinister gleam.
"If you dare to play me, I, Kong Yi, can guarantee you will die a miserable death."
The young man in the fiery red robe, who referred to himself as Kong Yi, coldly glanced at Waay Shi and then, along with his five companions, stood guard at that spot.
"The Heavenly Pride of Kong Yi can rest assured, I, Waay Shi, have absolutely not deceived you."
Waay Shi nodded, swearing steadfastly.
Moreover, a smile involuntarily spread across his face.
"Qin Chen, Mon Tianran, this time, I, Waay Shi, want to see how you two will escape!"
Waay Shi tightly clenched his fist.
Kong Yi, a combat disciple from the Five-Star Sect, the Moon Howling Heavenly Sect.
Of course, he held another far more significant identity.
Among today’s Heavenly Pride of the Moon Howling Heavenly Sect, he was the second in line!
The true Soaring Dragon Pride.
Within the Heavenly Pride of the whole Moon Howling Heavenly Sect, his status was second only to the strongest Pride, Jang Chenglong.
This is precisely why an inherent aura of proud dominance radiated from him.
If individuals like Dou Li and Zuo Qiucheng were seen as insurmountable entities for others,
Then Kong Yi was simply an existence that others could not even aspire to reach.
Perhaps, others were striving for a spot within the Four Great Legendary Forces,
But for Kong Yi, such endeavors were needless.
He, as such a Pride, was definitely someone that all Four Great Legendary Forces would vie for.
Due to the significant commotion caused by Kong Yi and his group upon arriving here,
Many people also noticed the movements of Kong Yi and his comrades.
Seeing Kong Yi and his group guarding an entrance, many were quite startled and puzzled about what had transpired to have such a formidable Heavenly Pride stationed here.
At the entrance of Love Valley, two figures abruptly appeared.
The pupils of Kong Yi, Waay Shi, and the others guarding the area immediately shifted towards those two individuals.
"Qin Chen, Mon Tianran, it’s them!"
At that moment, like discovering a treasure, Waay Shi pointed at Qin Chen and Mon Tianran, shouting loudly,
Qin Chen and Mon Tianran were quite surprised themselves.
The two had not expected that after emerging from that exit, such a group would be waiting here.
When Qin Chen saw Waay Shi, the puzzlement in his eyes swiftly cleared,
With his intellect, he was naturally able to guess the gist of the situation.
The crowd at a distance, puzzled about the reason for Kong Yi and his group’s arrival,
Suddenly heard Waay Shi’s words and instantly understood.
"One-Star Sect Thunder Sky Sect’s Qin Chen, Mon Tianran, these two are the must-kill targets of Moon Howling Heavenly Sect and Burning Moon Nether Sect."
"It’s said that recently, these two have killed no less than nine Heavenly Pride of Moon Howling Heavenly Sect and Burning Moon Nether Sect!"
Some looked at Qin Chen and Mon Tianran with shocked expressions.
Everyone’s gaze towards Qin Chen and Mon Tianran was filled with a rising amazement.
"It’s Kong Yi, he’s here to kill them!"
All the doubts instantly dissolved.
