Meng Chen's eyes were sharp, with a cold light flashing in them. He moved instantly and caught the falling Cui Xuanyu. Thunder surged in his palms, and he pushed forward without hesitation.

"boom!"

Thunder and the Scarlet Phoenix Divine Flame collided, and a violent energy shock erupted, causing a violent wind in the valley. Monk Huikong rushed forward in a panic, blocking Yunying and angrily shouted, "Yunying! You are crazy!"

Cui Xuanyu was caught by Meng Chen, with shock and panic in her eyes. She had no doubt that if Meng Chen had not stopped her, she might have been seriously injured by Yun Ying.

Yun Ying was stopped and regained her senses. When she met Cui Xuanyu's disappointed eyes, she felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave and was terrified to the extreme.

"Xuan Yu...I'm sorry...I didn't mean it."

Cui Xuanyu didn't say anything, he was just confused and puzzled.

Meng Chen's eyes were cold, with murderous intent condensed between his brows. The cold murderous aura surged towards Yun Ying like a wave, making her shiver all over.

However, after a moment of confusion, the anger in Yun Ying's eyes burned again, but this time it was directed at Meng Chen.

"Qingxiao! You did this on purpose, didn't you? You deliberately made me quarrel with Xuanyu, didn't you?"

Meng Chen certainly had that thought in mind, and nodded slightly: "I do have that idea, but I didn't ask you to hurt Xuanyu! I don't care about your plan to use Ji Boda before, but from now on, you should also understand that Cui Xuanyu has nothing to do with you anymore, so don't have any inappropriate thoughts, otherwise..."

Meng Chen did not continue speaking. After all, Yun Ying was Huang Wujin's person, and she also had Huikong and Zhou Chao as her companions. Now was not the time to completely break off relations with her.

Yun Ying's expression was extremely complicated. When she met Meng Chen's cold gaze, she stepped back and turned to look at Cui Xuanyu.

"Xuan Yu...I didn't mean it. Can you forgive me?"

Cui Xuanyu glanced at Meng Chen and saw that he looked calm, so he said, "I forgive you, but let's stop here! If you don't mind, we can still be friends. If you mind, then we can be strangers."

Yun Ying widened her eyes in disbelief.

"You...Xuan Yu...how could you..."

Cui Xuanyu retracted his gaze and said to Meng Chen beside him: "Qingxiao, let's not have anything to do with them!"

Meng Chen nodded and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's go."

The two were about to leave, but Yun Ying stopped them immediately: "Don't go! I won't bother you anymore, let's... just be friends!"

Yun Ying was very unwilling, but for the sake of Huang Wujin's plan, she had to compromise.

Cui Xuanyu was also certain that she would not destroy Huang Wujin's plan because of him. After all, in Yun Ying's eyes, the empress of the Red Phoenix Immortal Dynasty was the most important.

Monk Huikong saw that the situation had eased, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He scolded, "Yun Ying! What are you doing? Why are you so impulsive?"

Yun Ying opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything. Should she tell everyone what Cui Xuanyu and Qing Xiao had done?
Not to mention whether he could say it out loud, if he really said it, how would Cui Xuanyu live his life in the future?

She glared at Meng Chen fiercely, then walked aside, sat cross-legged in the corner, and no longer looked at Meng Chen.

Meng Chen was also happy to have some peace and quiet, so he took Cui Xuanyu to sit on the other side.

The next day, when the east was already bright, Monk Huikong got up early and started beating the wooden fish and chanting scriptures, making it so noisy that Meng Chen couldn't rest in peace.

"You damn monk! What are you doing so early in the morning?"

Meng Chen lowered his eyes to glance at Cui Xuanyu who was sleeping on his legs, and then looked at Huikong with a gloomy gaze. "You should knock farther away, or she will be disturbed while she is sleeping."

When Monk Huikong saw the posture of the two people, he frowned slightly and stopped what he was doing.

During the process, Yun Ying also opened her eyes, and seeing Cui Xuanyu leaning on Meng Chen's legs, her face became even gloomier. If looks could kill, Meng Chen would probably have been torn to pieces by now.

Meng Chen was contented and ignored her completely. Seeing that she had no place to vent her anger, he even felt secretly happy in his heart.

When it was bright, Cui Xuanyu woke up, opened his eyes blankly, and after seeing Meng Chen, he nudged his stomach again.

Yun Ying’s eyes hurt from watching this scene. She gritted her teeth and turned her head away, not wanting to watch anymore.

Meng Chen patted Cui Xuanyu and said, "Get up. I don't know what their plans are, so let's just follow and see!"

Meng Chen also said this to Yun Ying and Zhou Chao. He could provide people but not labor. After all, he hadn't gotten any benefits yet, so how could he help for nothing? Zhou Chao stood up and said coldly, "Wait for the monk to come back."

Monk Huikong also sensed the commotion here, and hurried back, landing in front of Meng Chen.

"There are still sixteen days left. What we need to do is to kill all the monks in the secret realm."

Meng Chen frowned when he heard this: "What do you mean? Aren't your enemies powerful enemies from outer space?"

Monk Huikong grinned and said, "That was during the Arena Battle. Now we need to eliminate those monks who might be replaced and not let them leave this secret realm."

Meng Chen's expression changed slightly, and his face became extremely cold.

"Haha, I won't get involved in this matter. You guys figure it out on yourselves!" Meng Chen didn't want to get involved in this matter, and even more so, he didn't want to become a knife in Huang Wujin's hand.

Monk Huikong clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Of course, you don't have to do anything, just leave it to us."

Meng Chen didn't even want to go with them. After all, he had offended too many people. Once the news got out, the Cui family behind Cui Xuanyu would be implicated.

But thinking of Ji Boda, he had to go. It would be a pity if he was treated as a soldier by Monk Huikong and Zhou Chao.

The group set out immediately. Zhou Chao drew out the blood knife and entered a few seals on it. Then the blood knife began to glow brightly.

"Buzz!"

The blood knife vibrated, and a blood-colored thread jumped out from the blood knife, transforming into a blood-colored bird, which jumped out with a whoosh like an arrow.

Zhou Chao, Monk Huikong, Yun Ying and others quickly caught up with them, and Meng Chen also followed quickly with Cui Xuanyu.

One day later, the bloody bird shattered, and they also arrived at a camp with about a dozen people stationed there. After Meng Chen saw that Ji Boda was not below, he was finally relieved, but he still wondered: "Have all these people really been replaced? Aren't you worried about killing the wrong person?"

Zhou Chao snorted coldly: "It's a mistake to kill them. They should have realized this when they insisted on entering the secret realm!"

Meng Chen rolled his eyes when he heard this. This man was too murderous. He turned his gaze to Monk Huikong. After all, he was a monk. He should be compassionate, right?
Monk Huikong met Meng Chen's gaze and said bitterly, "Donor Qingxiao, if these people leave the secret realm, they will inevitably bring disaster to the East Phoenix Territory. They must die!"
