As Lu Feng and Chu Youwei went their separate ways, each heading toward their own goal, turmoil likewise erupted throughout the local space beyond the Hundred Valleys Sword Ruins.
Central Profound Domain, Profound Gold City, Chu Family Estate.
Chu Youren had been home for several days, yet only now did he finally see Chu Xuanhe and Weng Qin.
Seeing Chu Xuanhe rushing back from outside, his face full of worry and uncertainty, Chu Youren's expression immediately darkened.
From the grave looks on Chu Xuanhe and Weng Qin's faces, he vaguely realized that something major must have happened.
Before he could ask, Chu Xuanhe stepped through the gates and spotted Chu Youren waiting inside. After calculating the days in silence, he frowned. "It's only the sixth day. How have you already returned from the Hundred Valleys Sword Ruins?"
Chu Youren hurriedly replied, "Uncle, I've been back for several days already."
Chu Xuanhe went straight into the main hall and sat down. After ordering a maid to brew tea, he demanded, "Tell me. What did you bring back from the Hundred Valleys Sword Ruins?"
Weng Qin, standing nearby, also asked, "Did you accomplish what I instructed you to do?"
At once, an awkward and ashamed look appeared on Chu Youren's face. He explained softly, "Uncle, you don't know this, but the opening of the Hundred Valleys Sword Ruins this time was strange in every way. It would have been one thing if storage devices couldn't be used, but even the items inside couldn't be brought out. I originally found quite a few rare precious swords of the Heaven Grade, but the moment I left the Domain Realm, they were cut off by the pillar of light drawn down by the Sky Supporting Token. I couldn't bring out a single one."
