Chapter 28: Three Strange Books

  Will Ah Li be in danger? Ye Chen's heart was anxious and he quickly chased after her.

  A white shadow quickly jumped out of the wall and entered the thicket outside Yejia Fort.

  "It's the middle of the night, if we leave Yejia Fortress and are discovered by Yejia Fortress' scouts, it will be chaotic! It's better not to let Father and Uncle know." Ye Chen released his divine soul and quickly sensed the scouts lurking in the dark corners of Yejia Fortress, who were responsible for nighttime vigilance.

  Ye Chen dodged the spies' line of sight, evaded the complex mechanisms inside Ye Manor, vaulted over the manor's walls and sprinted wildly towards the outside.

  His divine soul quickly locked onto Ah Li who was running away.

  What did Ah Liang discover, and why is he rushing into the Lianyun Mountains in such a hurry?

  Ye Chen didn't have time to think that much, the Xuan Qi inside his body quickly followed, and the scenery on both sides whizzed past towards the back.

  They chased after Ah Li for about two hours, and now they were deep in the Lianyun Mountains. Looking around at the scenery, this was a forbidden area that the Ye family's Mingwen had explicitly stated could not be entered.

  Inside the Lianyun Mountains, there are many forbidden areas. The elders of the Ye family strictly forbade the younger generations from entering these places because high-level demonic beasts often appear in these areas. Some ignorant younger generations had ventured into these forbidden areas before and never returned.

  Recalling his father's repeated warnings, Ye Chen hesitated for a moment, thought about it, and his spiritual soul could extend two miles away. Although it was late at night, he could still see clearly. If he was careful and paid attention, hiding far away from those ferocious demonic beasts, he shouldn't encounter any danger.

  During this pause, Ali ran far away again, and Ye Chen hurriedly quickened his pace and caught up.

  Ye Chen's divine soul had sensed 5 or 6 seventh- or eighth-grade demonic beasts along the way, all of which he carefully avoided. As expected, there were many demonic beasts in this forbidden land. Fortunately, he had his divine soul to sense them; otherwise, if he had rashly charged in and encountered one demonic beast, it would have been manageable, but if he had encountered two or three demonic beasts attacking him together, that would have been troublesome.

  Like this, Ye Chen ran for another hour without stopping and stopped at a narrow entrance. On both sides were steep cliffs, with only a small path of two or three zhang wide leading to the deepest part of the mountain.

  In such a narrow place, if you encounter a monster, it's likely to be difficult to escape.

  A Li has already gone in, Ye Chen hesitated for a moment and then rushed in.

  Along the winding path, I ran for nearly ten minutes, and suddenly the scene opened up before my eyes. It was a hidden paradise, with steep cliffs surrounding it, but in the middle, there was a vast open area of several dozen square miles, with lush green grass, vibrant flowers, and a gentle stream flowing through it, creating a breathtakingly beautiful landscape.

  "Who would have thought that there was still such a magical utopia here." Ye Chen couldn't help but exclaim, looking at the steep cliffs around him, towering into the clouds, and he too had to admire the wonders of nature.

  As he continued to walk in, Ye Chen found that there were some dead genets on the ground nearby, which seemed to have been bitten to death. These genets were different from Ah Li, and most of them had only one tail, with grayish-yellow fur and many mixed colors. Occasionally, he also saw some with two tails, but the second tail was always shorter.

  "This is Ali's home, I wonder what kind of disaster happened in Ali's family." Ye Chen thought to himself, unknowingly, Ali was no longer just a lynx cat in his mind. Ali's spirituality and wisdom were no different from humans in some ways.

  Here, the aura is quite dense, it's a good place to cultivate, all around are cliffs, and I don't know where these auras come from, Ye Chen thought, but he has no interest in the aura here, with the flying knife overflowing with aura, Ye Chen feels that the aura between heaven and earth is simply dregs, really too thin.

  Continue walking inside, Ye Chen finally found where Ah Li was.

  A Li stood in front of a bloodstain, her eyes brimming with tears, her expression sorrowful.

  This bloodstain might have been left by one of Ali's relatives, Ye Chen sighed inwardly and squatted down, his right hand stroking Ali's back.

  "Ah Li, don't be sad," Ye Chen comforted.

  The raccoon dog has been here for a while, seeing Ye Chen, although it has put away its sadness, but still looks gloomy. Suddenly, it perked up its ears with some vigilance.

  What happened?

  The raccoon dog seemed to have sensed danger and didn't dare stay in place, so it let out a soft cry to Ye Chen before running further into the woods.

  Ye Chen followed closely behind, running after Ah Li for a while before stopping on a patch of grass.

  The raccoon sniffed lightly on the grass for a while, as if looking for something. After a while, it stopped and started digging with its front paws nonstop.

  "A Li, what are you digging?" Ye Chen asked in puzzlement, also squatting down to help A Li dig together.

  Pulling out the grass, Ye Chen found that the soil here was very loose. Was there something underneath?

  After digging for a while, Ye Chen's hand touched something hard and he was startled. As expected, there was indeed something buried underneath. He continued to dig and remove the surrounding mud, eventually unearthing an exquisite wooden box made of agarwood. Despite being surrounded by damp soil, the box showed no signs of rot or decay.

  "Is this something of your raccoon dog tribe? Can I open it?" Ye Chen asked Ali.

  The raccoon dog nodded.

  Ye Chen opened the wooden box, and a strong fragrance wafted out. The refreshing scent was invigorating. Upon closer inspection, inside the box were a brocade bag and three ancient books. When he opened the brocade bag, he was shocked to discover that it was actually a Qian Kun Bag with a considerable amount of space inside, capable of holding many items. Typically, a Qian Kun Bag on the market would be worth at least a thousand Congealing Qi Pellets. This brocade bag had a space several times larger than an ordinary Qian Kun Bag, and he had no idea how much it could sell for.

  In the morning, I took a look inside and found that there were fifty or sixty elixirs placed inside. After counting them, there were exactly 53 Cong Qi Dans, and two other elixirs were particularly unusual, with a reddish-brown color, about the size of a pigeon egg, three times larger than the Cong Qi Dan.

  Ye Chen took a cold breath, to know that one pill of condensed air was equivalent to hundreds of pills of gathered air, fifty-three pills of condensed air, absolutely a huge fortune! Enough to be equivalent to the total income of Ye's family for more than ten years, as for those two medicinal pills, I don't know what kind of pill they are, but they should be even higher than the condensed air pill.

  Those three books, Ye Chen flipped through them one by one, were Tai Shang Dan Dao, Yao Xiu Tian Shu and Zhang Po Qian Kun.

  The Supreme Alchemy Scripture discusses the methods of alchemy, the Demon Cultivation Heavenly Book teaches how demons cultivate and transform their bodies, while the Palm Breaking Universe is a complete martial art that includes a set of qigong exercises and six types of combat techniques.

  Although he only took a glance, Ye Chen knew that the things described inside were extraordinary. Any one of these things could bring catastrophic disaster to a certain family!

  "We're going back to Yejia Fort!" Ye Chen said decisively to Ali, putting these things away.

  Ye Chen and Ah Li were about to leave when several beast roars came from the entrance of this mountain valley in the distance.

  Ali's body trembled, Ye Chen looked at Ali and didn't know what kind of creature made Ali so afraid.

  Ye Chen's divine soul extended forward and discovered three giant demon wolves, each with a body length of over six feet, flying towards him.

  "It's actually three seven-stage demon wolves, come to my shoulder quickly." Ye Chen looked at Ah Li anxiously and said. This was the first time he had encountered three seven-stage demon wolves, and Ye Chen still felt a little apprehensive in his heart, not knowing if he could handle them.

  Ah Li heard Ye Chen's words and jumped onto Ye Chen's shoulders.

  Ye Chen flew out of the mountain valley.

  Just then, the three-headed seven-stage demon wolf discovered Ye Chen by following the scent. They stared at Ye Chen and Ali on his shoulder from a distance, their dark blue eyes emitting a captivating glow in the darkness of night.
