Chapter 826
Xiao Yun and the other two carried the giant Black Toadfish. After walking for a while, they arrived at an ancient forest.
It was shrouded in smoke and one couldn't even see their fingers.
But the five of them were familiar with the path and quickly passed through the smoke and arrived at a peaceful village. There was a small bridge and a stream with smoke rising from the chimneys.
Chen Yu, who was in the stomach of the Black Toadfish, concealed his presence and closed his eyes, ignoring everything else.
He didn't even know that the Black Toadfish had been killed.
Until a certain moment.
The jade pendant Chen Yu was wearing suddenly flickered with a faint light, and a pure white radiance flowed into Chen Yu's body, calming his mind and cleansing his soul, making him feel ethereal.
"Eh?"
Startled by this phenomenon, Chen Yu quickly took a closer look.
The mysterious jade pendant had a reaction again!
This scene caused Chen Yu to be slightly shocked, and his heart was in turmoil.
This mysterious half of the jade pendant was related to clues about his past.
Until now, the mysterious jade pendant had reacted twice. The first time was when he was about to leave the Great Cosmos Realm.
At that time, he had missed this clue.
He didn't expect the mysterious jade pendant to react again.
This caused Chen Yu to pay attention to it.
"Where am I now?"
Chen Yu's spiritual consciousness probed out.
He was slightly stunned. The Black Toadfish was actually dead and he was being carried into a village by three youngsters.
"The jade pendant suddenly reacted. Could my identity be related to this village?"
Chen Yu was puzzled.
He didn't know much about his identity.
But according to the clues, his birth parents weren't ordinary people. Chen Yu's true identity was definitely not simple.
But the reaction of the jade pendant actually pointed to this small village ….. This made him feel strange.
"This village isn't simple."
Chen Yu thought in his heart after observing for a while.
Just from the three youngsters carrying the Black Toadfish, they had extraordinary talents and high cultivation levels. The two youngsters were in their twenties and were already at the Origin Realm.
People from ordinary villages wouldn't have such talents and strength.
Even the young people in the Yang family of Northern Water, where he had stayed, were slightly inferior to these three.
Moreover, Chen Yu could vaguely sense a lot of bloodline power from these people.
While Chen Yu was thinking, Xiao Yun and the other two walked into the village.
Their return attracted many villagers to greet them. Many people saw their spoils of war and ran over in surprise.
"Little Yong, Little Guang, the two of you actually killed a Black Toadfish this time. Although the meat quality of this ancient beast isn't that great, its effects are extremely good. It can strengthen the body, heal injuries, and expel hidden injuries within the body."
A burly man walked over and nodded with a smile.
Perhaps it was because the other party was not vigilant, or perhaps Chen Yu was good at hiding.
No one noticed that there was a person in the black toadfish's stomach.
"If I run out now, I'm afraid I'll scare these people."
Chen Yu shook his head. This would not be beneficial for him to stay in the village to investigate the clues.
"Uncle Niu, I caught this."
Xiao Yun pouted and shouted.
"Hahaha …"
The crowd burst into laughter.
Obviously, no one thought that it was Xiao Yun who caught it.
Xiao Yun angrily rushed to her grandfather's house.
In a simple wooden house, a hunchbacked old man with grey hair was brewing tea.
When the white-haired old man saw the black toadfish, his kind gaze suddenly turned serious. "You two brought Little Cloud to Skyflow River?"
The two young men shrunk their heads and were secretly speechless. As expected of the village chief. With just a black toadfish, he was able to determine that the three of them went to the Sky Flow River.
The village chief had warned them many times not to go too far. At this moment, the two of them were like mice that had seen a cat and did not say a word.
"Grandpa, I asked them to bring me there. If I didn't go to the Sky Flow River, I wouldn't have been able to catch an ancient beast like the black toadfish."
Xiao Yun immediately begged for mercy for the two young men and changed the topic, showing off proudly.
"Sigh …"
The old man looked at his granddaughter and helplessly sighed. His gaze then fell on the black toadfish.
He found it hard to believe that with his granddaughter's ability, she was able to catch such a ferocious ancient beast. This should be Xiao Guang and Xiao Yong's spoils.
However, suddenly, the old man's eyes flickered and a suppressive aura was emitted.
Just a trace of the aura caused the expressions of the three to change greatly.
Whoosh!
The old man waved his hand, and a white blade as smooth as jade shot out.
Puff!
The black toadfish's stomach was sliced open and a man rolled out from the blood. It was Chen Yu.
"Ah, there's a person!"
Xiao Yun instantly screamed.
The other two young men were also shocked.
There was a person in the black toadfish's stomach and they had no idea about it.
"Cough cough, when I was passing by a river, I was swallowed by a black toadfish. Thank you for saving me!"
Chen Yu coughed and weakly expressed his gratitude.
He looked at the old man in front of him and was slightly shocked.
Chen Yu did not sense anything before, but the aura emitted from the old man made him feel that the old man's cultivation was extremely high. It was at least the peak late-stage Empty Sea Realm, or even the half-Star Condensation Realm.
Chen Yu knew that he would be discovered sooner or later, so he had already thought of an excuse. Otherwise, it would be too strange for him to jump out from the black toadfish's stomach.
"So that's how it is. Grandpa, not only did I kill the black toadfish, I even saved his life."
Xiao Yun said excitedly. She did not expect her first time fishing would not only bring her spoils of war, but she had also saved someone.
"Is that so?"
The two young men were doubtful.
However, the white-haired old man's expression froze, and he did not ease up in the slightest as he stared at Chen Yu.
Although Chen Yu was covered in injuries, it was obvious that they were not caused by the black toadfish.
In other words, the person was injured due to some other reason and was swallowed by the black toadfish.
Chen Yu's words were obviously hiding the first part, but he was not lying.
"It's okay. Young hero, you look very handsome. You must be a disciple of a big family or even a Sect. Our village is simple and crude, I'm afraid we can't treat you well."
The old man's expression softened as he slowly said, ordering the guest to leave.
Whether the person in front of him was accidentally swallowed by the black toadfish or coincidentally came here, or if it was all planned by the other party, as long as he was chased away, everything would be fine.
If it was before, Chen Yu would not say anything and leave immediately.
But now, he still had to investigate the secret of his birth, how could he leave?
"Grandpa, look at how heavily injured he is. Let him recover first before leaving."
Looking at Chen Yu, who was covered in wounds, Cloud said with a hint of pity.
Chen Yu sent a grateful look at the little girl. Moreover, he cooperated with her, revealing a pained expression as if he was on the verge of death.
Xiao Yun was a simple-minded person, so she couldn't bear to see Chen Yu die. Moreover, she was the one who saved Chen Yu. What if the heavily injured Chen Yu died after leaving?
"Senior, my injuries are serious. Can I stay here for a while? Once I recover, I will not disturb you."
Chen Yu took the initiative to speak.
No matter what, he should stay here first.
Finally, the old man nodded helplessly under the cooperation of Chen Yu and Xiao Yun.
"Come, arrange a room for this guest."
The old man bellowed. Very quickly, two robust men walked in from outside. When they saw Chen Yu, they were also stunned.
There did not seem to be such a person in the village. Moreover, this person looked injured and dirty like a beggar. How did he come in? The whole village was protected by a formation.
The village chief ordered. They did not ask much and supported Chen Yu to leave.
Xiao Yun also followed. It seemed that because she was the one who saved Chen Yu, she was more concerned about this matter.
"You two, wait."
The old man suddenly stopped Xiao Guang and Xiao Yong who were about to leave.
"Village chief, is there anything else?"
Their eyes were filled with fear. Was the village chief going to punish them because they brought Xiao Yun to the Sky Flow River?
"You two, from today onwards, follow Xiao Yun and keep an eye on that outsider."
The old man narrowed his eyes and ordered.
"Just an ordinary person, and his injuries are so serious. There should be no need to be so vigilant."
Xiao Guang asked in a low voice.
"Hmph, ordinary person …"
The old man said with a deeper meaning.
These two youths were at the early stage of the Origin Realm. In addition, Chen Yu had concealed his aura. It was normal that they could not see through him.
But the old man's cultivation was not simple. He could naturally see through Chen Yu's true cultivation, which was the middle stage of the Empty Sea Realm.
With such a cultivation at such a young age, how could he be an ordinary person?
… …
After Chen Yu was arranged to stay, Xiao Yun invited the doctor of the village to treat Chen Yu.
In fact, Chen Yu's injuries had already recovered by sixty to seventy percent under the self-healing power of the elementary Immortal Body.
"This village is not simple. The doctor can definitely see that my injuries are not serious."
Chen Yu sighed. Although his self-healing ability was strong, it seemed that there were times when it was inconvenient.
He had no choice but to suppress the power of his heart and physique. He found some poison pills from a pile of miscellaneous items in his storage bag and swallowed them in one go.
When he was on the battlefield, he killed many enemies and had a lot of spoils of war. There were many poison pills and poisons in the storage space of those foreign races and Blood Clan members.
When Xiao Yun rushed over with an apothecary, he found that Chen Yu's body was green and looked even more miserable and terrifying. He was instantly frightened.
"He has all kinds of poisons in his body. The toxins have penetrated his body and organs. It is already fortunate that he is not dead."
The doctor exclaimed.
Chen Yu nodded slightly. He was very satisfied with this result. He should be able to stay in this village for a long time.
"Fortunately, I asked grandpa for mercy. Otherwise, you would have definitely died if you left the village."
Xiao Yun felt lucky. She felt that she had done a good thing again and raised her chin.
But when she looked at Chen Yu, she revealed a look of pity.
"Thank you for saving my life, miss."
In response, Chen Yu smiled unnaturally.
Being praised by Chen Yu, Xiao Yun was a little embarrassed and her cheeks blushed.
Chen Yu asked about the girl and learned that her name was Meng Yun. Her parents were long gone and her grandpa was the village head of the Meng Family Village.
"This village is tranquil and serene, and the scenery is beautiful. It's like a paradise."
Chen Yu praised the Meng Family Village and expressed his love and yearning for the village, which made Xiao Yun have a good impression of him.
"Is that so? Hehe, I heard grandpa say that they also happened to pass by this place forty years ago and settled down. "
Xiao Yun said with a smile.
"Forty years ago?"
Chen Yu seemed to have suddenly realized something and his eyes flashed.
He was forty-one or forty-two years old this year, and this village was established forty years ago. It seemed too coincidental that the time was so close.
