55: Zhang Yanqiu: Brother Chu Yuan is gone!

Chu Yuan stepped out of the primal origin space and habitually released his perception to sense his surroundings.

But at this moment, his expression suddenly became serious.

"A very powerful existence once visited outside Xiao Huang Village? What was their intention?"

After his Soul strength greatly increased, his perception now extended to an area of three li.

And outside Xiao Huang Village, he sensed a very strong Yin Fiend Qi.

Though faint, it was truly present!

This meant that a formidable Ghostly Creature had once lingered there.

"Ghostly Creature?"

"Could it be..."

Chu Yuan thought of something, and his eyes involuntarily turned cold, a cold light flickering within them.

"Since I'm leaving, I might as well try to resolve this last trouble!"

Chu Yuan muttered, left a message on the floor of the room, and got up to walk outside.

At this time, a faint light appeared on the horizon, signaling the imminent arrival of dawn.

Chu Yuan looked back at Xiao Huang Village, a trace of reluctance flashing in his eyes.

"After this departure, perhaps there will be no need to return."

"Everyone, take care!"

Chu Yuan murmured, then resolutely stepped into the darkness.

Not long after.

Chu Yuan arrived at the location where he had sensed the Yin Fiend Qi, his gaze fixed on the southeast direction, a hint of chill in his eyes.

He took a deep breath, fully restrained his aura, and quickly left in that direction... The morning sun cast a ray of dawn, bringing a little light to this world.

Outside Chu Yuan's home.

Zhang Yan and a group of seven arrived here one after another.

"Good morning, everyone!"

Zhang Yanqiu's lips curved slightly as she greeted them with a smile.

"Good morning, Cousin!"

Zhang Yan said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Speaking of which, didn't Young Master Chu Yuan tell you to Cultivate on your own? Why are you all here?"

Zhang Yanqiu smiled and said, "Young Master Chu Yuan has shown me great kindness in remaking me. Cultivating here, I can also do some small things for him!"

"That's right, I just want to come and help Young Master Chu Yuan cook some meals, clean up a bit, and so on."

Chu Xiaotao quickly agreed.

Zhao Xiaolian, Xu Xiaomei, and Zhang Xiue also nodded in agreement.

Zhang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a sense of urgency rose in her heart.

At this moment, Sun Erya suddenly said, "Sister Yaner, my father said he would send me to Young Master Chu... to Young Master as a personal maid."

Hearing this, the others' eyes suddenly widened, filled with surprise.

"Sister Er Ya, you..."

Zhang Yan opened her mouth to speak but didn't know what to say.

She had heard about this from her mother last night.

Although Chu Yuan didn't agree at the time, he didn't refuse due to Sun Erya's parents' request.

She didn't expect Sister Er Ya to actually want to do this?

Quite cunning!

Zhang Yan gave Sister Er Ya a deep look and casually said, "Just don't disturb Young Master Chu Yuan!"

With that, she walked into the courtyard.

The six of them, including Sister Er Ya, exchanged glances and followed suit.

"Young Master Chu Yuan, are you up?"

Zhang Yan called out softly, but received no response.

"Young Master Chu... Young Master is probably Cultivating, we shouldn't disturb him."

Sister Er Ya said.

"I'll go cook!"

Zhang Yanqiu said, walking into the kitchen, followed quickly by Chu Xiaotao and the other four.

But upon entering the kitchen, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned, their eyes filled with confusion.

"It's gone?"

The five were a little surprised; the rice and meat were still in the kitchen, but everything else was gone.

To be precise, the pot was missing.

The five walked out of the kitchen, only to see the main hall door already open, with Zhang Yan staring blankly at the floor.

Sister Er Ya stood beside her, her eyes a little confused and anxious.

A strange thud sounded in the five's hearts, and they hurried over.

"Sister Yaner, what's written on the floor?"

Sun Erya asked anxiously, a hint of unease in her eyes.

Zhang Yan's eyes gradually reddened, tears furiously swirling in her eye sockets, but she remained silent.

At this moment, Zhang Yanqiu also saw the words on the floor, and her pupils couldn't help but contract.

She had played with Zhang Yan in previous years and had learned a few characters.

"Young Master Chu Yuan is gone!"

There was a hint of loss in her eyes, and a sense of bewilderment unconsciously emanated from her.

"What did you say?"

Sister Er Ya's eyes widened, and she turned to look at her, asking anxiously.

Zhang Yanqiu said in a choked voice, "Young Master Chu Yuan left a message on the floor:

He intends to go far, he has something to do outside, and he is not sure if he will return.

But the outside world is dangerous, and it is inconvenient to bring others, so he chose to go alone.

He specifically warned us that the outside world is too dangerous, and unless we reach Spirit Absorption Realm Perfection and have three people traveling together, we should not venture far rashly!"

Hearing this, Sun Erya's delicate body stiffened slightly, and her complexion suddenly turned a little pale.

Zhang Yan turned and tried to run out but was held back by Sun Erya.

"Sister Yaner, Young Master doesn't want us to take risks, don't go!"

"I..."

Zhang Yan's eyes were red, and she opened her mouth to speak.

Sun Erya, however, spoke again, "It's very dangerous outside. If you go out rashly, not only will you not find Young Master, but you might also be in danger."

"If Young Master returns and finds that you encountered danger because you went to look for him, how guilty would he be? Have you thought about that?"

"I..."

Zhang Yan took a deep breath, "I'm going to Cultivate, Sister Er Ya, do you want to come along?"

"I'll go with you!"

Sister Er Ya nodded, but the two did not leave; instead, they walked into the inner room together.

Seeing this, Chu Xiaotao and the other five exchanged glances, their expressions varied.

Zhang Yanqiu said, "Last night, I already broke through to the Spiritual Enlightenment Realm Early Stage with the help of the red jujube Young Master Chu Yuan gave me."

"I've already told my family that from now on, I will either come to Young Master Chu Yuan's place to Cultivate, or I might join the Guard Team."

Hearing this, the other four looked at each other, their expressions somewhat surprised.

At this moment, Chu Xiaotao hesitated for a moment and also said, "I've told my father, and he wants me to interact more with Young Master Chu Yuan!"

"So you all do as you please, I also plan to Cultivate here at Young Master Chu Yuan's place!"

With that, Chu Xiaotao didn't hesitate and walked into another inner room.

Zhang Yanqiu followed closely, while the other three looked at each other, unsure what to do... On the other side.

Chu Yuan stopped outside a canyon, his gaze uncharacteristically serious.

"I didn't expect there to be such a place sixty li away from Xiao Huang Village, where the Yin Fiend Qi is so heavy!"

"How many Ghostly Creatures are hidden here?"

"Could the 'adult' Tie Xiaohua mentioned be from here?"

Chu Yuan's expression was a mix of surprise and uncertainty as he murmured softly.

"The Ghostly Creature that previously stayed outside Xiao Huang Village likely came from here."

"Judging by the Yin Fiend Qi here, there are likely third-tier or even fourth-tier Ghostly Creatures. What should I do?"

Chu Yuan murmured.

Although he considered himself to have no Karma with Xiao Huang Village and could leave at any time, he now knew that a great disaster was about to befall Xiao Huang Village, and Zhang Yan and the others were still there. Could he just stand by and do nothing?

Chu Yuan took a deep breath and gave the canyon before him a deep look.

He resolutely turned and quietly departed.
