An indescribable emotion flashed in Ghost Valley's eyes, "Go on, what is your purpose?"

Kindly give him the quintessence of the dragon essence? Even he himself did not quite believe it.

Li Chen laughed it off. "There is only one reason. I hope that you can guard the Sword Inquisition when I am not around."

There were simply too many people in the Southern Domain who wanted to kill Li Chen.

If Li Chen left the Southern Domain, who knows if the sword sect would be dug out by someone.

When he heard Li Chen's words, Ghost Valley's expression froze for a moment before he sighed and said, "I promise you. If I can become a transcendent Martial Saint, I will definitely look after the Sword School for you …"

Li Chen was slightly absent-minded. Although Gui Gu Zi had promised him, he could tell that Gui Gu Zi did not treat him as a part of the Sword Inquisition.

However, it was not easy to achieve this. If he could agree to take care of it, then Li Chen would no longer have to worry.

Immediately afterwards, Li Chen gave the small drop of Dragon Essence Source Spirit that he had prepared to Ghost Valley.

He solemnly put away the white jade bottle.

Li Chen looked at the back view of the Ghost Valley Zi as he left and sighed in his heart.

The majority of the Sword School's resources were controlled by Gu Changtian and Ye Hengfu. Even if he were to leave, he would not have to worry about the Sword School's resources being insufficient. However, Li Chen was worried.

Although Gu Changtian and Ye Hengpoo hadn't used the Dragon Essence Origin, they could still be of use if they needed to break through.

After that, Li Chen saw Li Lu alone.

Li Lu normally looked no different from an ordinary person, but she could no longer cultivate. This made her temper a lot more strange.

"Don't worry, big brother will definitely head to the sea of stars to help you find the antidote for the Absolute Spirit Pill."

Li Chen even wanted to go through the Adventurer Association to distribute missions, but he gave up on this idea.

It would attract too much attention. If the whole world knew that Li Chen's little sister was poisoned by the Absolute Spirit Pill, it would not be a good thing.

Thinking about it, Li Chen had to go to the sea of stars.

If he wanted to go to the Stellar Sea, Li Chen would have to make another trip to the Northern Reaches.

The reason was because the Stellar Sea could only be reached by traversing the divine mountains of the Northern Region. This was one of the reasons why almost no one had ever visited the Stellar Sea in all these years.

Knowing that Li Chen was going to the Northern Region, Yang Wei could no longer sit still.

He came from the Northern Reaches and had been forced to leave that year. After three or four years, although he had given up on returning to the Northern Reaches, he still wanted revenge. Even after all these years, he had still been collecting information on the Northern Reaches.

"Young master, please take us along!"

Yang Wei said to Li Chen.

Li Chen understood the pain of his sect being exterminated and immediately agreed to Yang Wei's request. Since he had already set off a bloody war in the Southern region, he didn't mind messing up the Northern region.

Seeing Li Chen agree to take him away, Yang Wei was very happy. He immediately arranged everything perfectly. After ensuring that the Yangmen Escort Office was run, he left the Southern Domain with Li Chen.

Other than Yang Wei and his men, Li Chen brought Little Chun with him.

Although the journey to the sea of stars was very far away, he couldn't leave the small talk here. To the small talk, she had a sense of belonging around Li Chen.

It took them over a month to reach the border between the Southern and Northern Regions.

Along the way, Yang Wei also told Li Chen about the Northern Region. After the Punishment King rebelled, he relied on Nangong Jue to force Wan Tongtian to almost abdicate his position.

However, after that, the Hidden Family attacked and tried to kill Nangong Jue. Unfortunately, under the protection of the Punishment King, Nangong Jue was able to escape.

After that, Darknorth Kingdom was divided into two, and the Punishment King became known as the Emperor of the Southern region. Although there had been endless conflicts over the past three years, there hadn't been any major conflicts.

"In that case, we might encounter some trouble when we enter the northern region." Li Chen frowned slightly. Regarding the Punishment King and Nangong Jue, these two people had left a deep impression on him. However, three years ago, they were able to force Li Chen to flee in all directions.

They entered a valley.

Normally, people from the north and south regions would pass by on this road. It was rather chaotic and there were no one controlling it.

However, while walking, Li Chen felt a strange feeling coming over.

"I'm afraid there's something wrong here." Li Chen secretly transmitted his voice to the crowd, telling them to be careful.

It had to be said that Li Chen's mental energy was extremely sharp. Before Yang Wei and the rest could react, he suddenly slammed his palm against the back of a huge boulder.

"Hong!" The boulder exploded. A common citizen ran out from behind the boulder with blood all over his face.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

That person kept shouting; he clearly did not expect Li Chen's strength to be so high.

Yang Wei frowned as he grabbed that person and asked, "Speak, what are you trying to do by sneaking around?"

That person was shocked by Yang Wei's fearsome expression, "I was just passing by..." "Passing by..."

This person was definitely not an ordinary person. He clearly had Spiritual Energy fluctuations coming from his body, and if it wasn't for his mental strength being much sharper than an ordinary person's, he wouldn't have noticed it at all. This also meant that this man's strength was not weak.

"Passing by? If you were passing by, why wouldn't you come out in the open? "

Yang Wei widened his eyes, scaring the man into trembling.

Seeing that the man didn't want to reveal his purpose, Li Chen slightly waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let me do it!"

Yang Wei still hadn't reacted to what Li Chen wanted to do when he saw a powerful force emanate from Li Chen's palm, pulling out a portion of the man's memories.

The man spat out white foam from his mouth due to the shock of the powerful spiritual force and fainted. He would probably be a fool once he woke up.

Seeing Li Chen make his move, Yang Wei did not feel that Li Chen was being too tough. Instead, he felt that Li Chen had done the right thing.

This was because against such a person, sometimes being soft-hearted would only harm him.

"How is it, Young Master?" Yang Wei casually threw the man in his hands onto the ground and asked.

Li Chen frowned, "They are indeed the Punishment King's men. They seem to have sent people to watch the road every day, changing shifts every four hours. This guy has only been here for an hour. We need to leave first. Follow me!"

Because Li Chen had obtained that memory and understood the situation over here, he brought them to a small path.

According to memory, whenever someone came, they would be reported to the higher ups and then taken away.

Quite a few people had disappeared from the valley, but they were all taken to a strange place by this group of people.

"I wonder why the Punishment King captured so many people …" Li Chen asked curiously.

They didn't know about this, but they were certain that the Punishment King was doing something very secretive.

"Are we going to take a look?" If he was here alone, he wouldn't think of taking revenge, but Li Chen was different. Li Chen was powerful, and with him here, he had a high chance of taking revenge.

After walking for a long time, Li Chen stopped and said, "This place is the most mysterious place in his memories. I wonder what will actually happen here."

As he was speaking, Li Chen suddenly felt a group of people coming over. He frowned and said, "Hide yourself first and don't let anyone find out."

The few of them found a secluded place to hide.

It was two men in military uniform. They had knives in their hands. It seemed like they were patrolling.

"It's been a few days since someone has come. I wonder how it's been over there."

One of them said.

"Don't worry about it. Just don't send you and me over." Another man added.

Their words were a little strange, so Li Chen didn't understand what they were talking about.

But soon, the two of them walked to the place where a huge boulder was located.

Li Chen's heart leaped into his throat because Yang Wei was hiding there.

Yang Wei was extremely nervous. He even thought that the other side had discovered something. But soon, he let out a sigh of relief. The two of them went around the huge rock and walked towards the side.

Although he could guarantee that he would be killed in one hit, it was more likely that Li Chen could clearly see what the other party was doing.

"Bang bang bang!"

One of the men knocked three times on a wall.

After three sounds, the ground and mountains began to shake, and then automatically moved to the side, revealing a large black hole that led to who knows where.

The two of them then disappeared into the cave, and the stone door began to slowly close again.

Li Chen and the others came back after confirming that it was safe. Li Chen said with a strange expression, "This place is really strange. It actually made me think of a hidden family."

Li Chen had a reason for saying this because even though it was a mountain, it wasn't very big. Even if there was a cave inside, it wouldn't be able to hold many people.

Li Chen suspected that there was another cave behind this cave.

"Should we go in and take a look?" Li Chen asked the surrounding people.

Everyone nodded. In short, with Li Chen around, they felt that it didn't matter even if there was any danger.

Li Chen followed his previous appearance and tapped the stone door three times. After three times, the stone door slowly opened as everyone looked forward to it.

The interior was very deep. Relying on his sharp Spirit power, Li Chen walked at the front to prevent any danger.

After walking for a while, the front seemed to have started to light up.

That familiar feeling came. Li Chen said in surprise, "It really is a small world! Everyone, be careful! "

All of the hidden aristocratic families seemed as if they could use a teleportation array to send a person to another place.

There were too many parallel worlds in the sky. Li Chen had long since gotten used to them, but he thought that he should prepare a place like this for the disciples of the Sword Inquisition.

The further they walked, the brighter it became. Li Chen could even feel an abundant amount of Spiritual Qi surging towards them.

"This must be a hidden realm that did not mean anything."

Li Chen had been to Gongsun family and Holy Land. He already knew what those hidden families were like and immediately understood what the Punishment King was probably doing.
