I am about to die of old age, and I have awakened the character of longevity.

Chapter 251 The person behind Chen Haiming!
Kongsang Ancient City.

Ten years have passed since Bai Yujing left the ancient city.

Because Chen Yu'er was summoned away by Xie An midway and went to a separate courtyard to meditate in seclusion, there were only two people in the cave: Jin Yuping and Chen Haiming.

Chen Haiming went to the cave early and was also the first to emerge from seclusion.

As night fell that day, Chen Haiming opened the Stone of Separation, looked around and found that no one was paying attention to him, so he slunk away from the cave and wandered around outside.

"Hehe, this is really a great place. After ten years of seclusion, I have also entered the Qi Refining stage."

Chen Haiming felt incredibly pleased.

However, he was not blinded by excitement, but remained extremely cautious, turning back every three steps as if afraid of being discovered.

After walking for a while, he saw an empty cave.

"Hmm? Someone's been here?"

Chen Haiming slipped into the cave to investigate.

Sure enough, there were signs that someone had been in seclusion in the cave, and the corpse of a Qi Refining stage cultivator was buried under the spiritual plants. The spiritual plants were growing very well.

"Someone clearly secluded themselves here before leaving. Could it be that they found a better place to cultivate in seclusion?"

Chen Haiming felt that things were not so simple.

He had been secretly following Xie An and his companions for some time, so he naturally knew their identities.

It was perfectly normal for Xie An and his companions to find cave dwellings for seclusion, as they had all found their own.

But this person went into seclusion for a while and then left...

This made Chen Haiming feel uneasy.

"Is there really a better place for seclusion here? How come I didn't know?"

Chen Haiming was very familiar with this place, so it was clear that this wasn't his first time here.

"Go and have a look first."

Chen Haiming continued walking along the road.

Soon they arrived at another cave, where the Separation Stone descended, sealing off communication between the inside and outside.

It was Jin Yuping's cave dwelling.

Chen Haiming didn't disturb them, but watched from a distance, muttering, "There are clearly three of them, but only one is in seclusion here. This means the other two went elsewhere..."

Chen Haiming continued walking forward and arrived at the streets of the ancient city. The surroundings were empty and desolate.

Chen Haiming went to the ancestral hall on the mountaintop and found that there were far fewer corpses in the Qi Refining stage.

"I reckon they moved the corpses of Qi Refining stage cultivators to other places for seclusion. But it doesn't matter anymore. My goal has been achieved."

Chen Haiming carried two corpses of Qi Refining stage cultivators, then transformed into a blur and quickly ran down the mountain.

Before long, Chen Haiming arrived at the gate of the ancient city.

The door was closed tightly.

Outsiders can't get out.

But Chen Haiming wasn't surprised. He had barely reached the front door when he casually produced a peculiar box. He bit his finger, letting his blood drip onto the box. Suddenly, with a "hum," the box vibrated, releasing a pale golden light.

The light suddenly poured down on the heavy door, causing it to tremble.

With a rumbling sound, the heavy door slowly opened.

A crack in the door slowly appeared.

call!
Chen Haiming took a deep breath, put away the box in his hand, and then dashed out the door.

After walking a long distance, Chen Haiming revealed a very pleasant smile, looking at the magnificent gate behind him.

"He's gone, hehe."

Chen Haiming ran wildly, crossed the lake, entered the village where the Jin family was stationed, then walked through the underground tunnel out of the bronze gate and into the dense forest of the canyon.

Black Mountain Town is not far outside the dense forest.

Chen Haiming did not enter Heishan Town, but waited in a place in the dense forest.

He was in a good mood, so he caught some wild game and started a fire to roast it on the spot.

A short while later, a man in a black robe walked over.

The man in the black robe was completely wrapped in black clothes, with only his eyes showing.

Swish.

Upon seeing this person, Chen Haiming acted as if he had encountered a terrifying being. He abruptly stood up, then bowed deeply to the man in black robes, saying, "My lord, I have not failed you. I have brought the Nine Palaces Box into the ancient city and activated it."
