Visiting the Ape Group (Revised)

From the dense forest in the distance, a series of 'whooshing' sounds suddenly echoed. Four figures, as swift as flying, stepped lightly on the treetops, approaching from the canopies of towering ancient trees.

They slowly descended in front of Bai He and the others. It was three snow-white skeletons and a handsome youth with black hair draped over his shoulders, none other than Xiao Chen!

"Master!"

Seeing Xiao Chen, Bai He couldn't help but shout out excitedly.

He always remembered who had helped him in his most difficult times!

"Bai He?!"

Seeing Bai He, a ripple appeared in Xiao Chen's originally calm eyes.

He quickly walked over and vigorously patted Bai He's shoulder. He was very satisfied with this disciple.

"After I escaped, I turned back and killed Wang Zifeng, then chased after you in the direction you fled. But unfortunately, when I arrived, you had already jumped into the sea. I could only kill Liu Yue to avenge you. Originally, I planned to search for you along the coastline, but unfortunately, I encountered Zhao Lin'er..."

Speaking of Zhao Lin'er, Xiao Chen's expression couldn't help but turn gloomy.

Seeing that Bai He and Xiao Chen had reunited, Yi Zhen Monk immediately revealed a faint smile, and then bid farewell to the two.

"Brother Xiao, Bai He, since everything is fine, I'll be leaving first. Yi Chi Senior Brother is still waiting for me."

After speaking, Yi Zhen Monk turned around and prepared to leave.

"Hey! Yi Zhen Senior Brother, you haven't told me the result of the matter I asked you to do!"

Seeing Yi Zhen Monk preparing to leave, Xiao Chen quickly asked.

But Yi Zhen Monk only smiled faintly, and then flew over the treetops of the towering ancient trees, disappearing before Xiao Chen's eyes.

Only a faint echo remained in the air.

"Brother Xiao, you have to ask Bai He about this matter!"

"Bai He?"

Xiao Chen looked at Bai He, somewhat puzzled. What did this have to do with Bai He?

Huh?

Only then did Xiao Chen suddenly notice that Bai He had a pair of silver-white dragon horns on his head.

"Bai He, what is this..."

Xiao Chen pointed to the dragon horns on Bai He's head.

"Wasn't it because I accidentally activated the Dragon Race bloodline in my body after swallowing the Eight-Armed Evil Dragon Egg? Recently, I ate another Dragon Egg, and then the bloodline concentration increased again, so a pair of dragon horns like this grew out."

Bai He pointed to the silver-white dragon horns on his head with a wry smile. Apart from being a little hard, he hadn't found any use for the dragon horns on his head yet.

However, through this pair of dragon horns, it seems that he can use the Dragon Race's great divine power, the Imprisonment Art, which is the purple divine light that the Purple Dragon King used in the past, but unfortunately, he doesn't know how!

"By the way, Master, uh... regarding the matter of us killing Wang Zifeng and Liu Yue, I have already resolved the grievances with Yan Qingcheng, and she will no longer trouble us."

Bai He touched his head, not knowing how to say it.

"Resolved the grievances?"

Xiao Chen couldn't help but frown.

He had met Yan Qingcheng and could tell that she was a very proud and assertive woman. Even when he asked Yi Zhen Monk to resolve the grudges, he didn't have much hope. But now his disciple was telling him... it was done?!

'Why? She really agreed?!'

Although his martial artist's intuition told him that it was indeed true, Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel a little incredulous.

'How should I put it... Anyway, she asked me to call her Qingcheng, Master, do you understand?'

Bai He said with a troubled expression.

He really didn't know how to explain this kind of thing.

'In other words, Yan Qingcheng can basically be considered your disciple's wife now!'

Bai He finally said, simply throwing caution to the wind.

'Ah?!'

Xiao Chen showed a surprised expression.

This news was too explosive! The most troublesome opponent he once thought he had on the island had now directly transformed into his disciple's wife?! This was really too unbelievable for him.

'Master, don't underestimate me. After jumping into the sea, I've had quite a few lucky encounters. Even you might not be able to beat me now!'

Seeing Xiao Chen's expression of 'that's impossible,' Bai He immediately said unhappily.

His current peak combat power could easily crush a Mortal Shedding fifth level cultivator, and he could basically sweep across most of the cultivators on the island.

As for Yan Qingcheng, it wasn't so easy for him to win the beauty's heart. If he didn't have excellent potential to attract Yan Qingcheng's attention, strong strength to snatch food from the Thunder Dragon's claws, and a handsome appearance to add icing to the cake, he believed that all of this wouldn't have been so natural.

'Alright! Let's not talk about this, okay? Hehe...'

'Come, Bai He, let me introduce these three skeleton brothers to you. They are Qin Guang King, Yama King, and Reincarnation King respectively.'

Xiao Chen pointed to the three snow-white skeletons in front of him and introduced them to Bai He one by one.

'Uh... Hello! My name is Bai He!'

Bai He greeted the three skeletons, considering it an acquaintance, but he wiped a handful of sweat from his heart.

From the surface, he couldn't tell who was who at all. Fortunately, he wasn't an ordinary person and could accurately recognize their specific identities through intuition or spiritual sense.

Hearing Bai He's greeting, the light in the eye sockets of the three snow-white skeletons, Qin Guang King, Yama King, and Reincarnation King, flickered, and their jaws opened and closed a few times, making a series of 'kacha kacha' sounds, which was considered a return greeting.

'Then let's continue!'

Seeing that Bai He was familiar with the three skeletons, Xiao Chen once again embarked on the journey to track Zhao Lin'er.

'Master, where are we going?'

Quickly traveling through the dense Primeval Forest, Bai He asked Xiao Chen.

'I once had a chance to push Zhao Lin'er into a desperate situation, but unfortunately, she was rescued by that little Unicorn Sacred Beast back then. I remember that a Beast King, the Four-Armed Blood-Colored Giant Ape, once led his ape group to chase after her. Now I'm going there to ask.'

Xiao Chen replied.

"Can you communicate with them?"

Bai He couldn't help but ask.

"Yes! They are very intelligent. I even taught them how to barbecue back then, so we are quite familiar."

Xiao Chen said.

Before long, the two of them led the three skeletons to an area near a stone forest, which was the territory of the ape group.

It was very quiet all around, without the roars of beasts, only the melodious chirping of birds and the rich fragrance of clusters of flowers and plants. Many verdant ancient vines entwined around the tall stone pillars.

As if sensing the arrival of the group.

"Roar~"

With a roar, an old ape more than three meters tall rushed out of the stone forest and appeared before them.

Looking at the group before him, especially Xiao Chen.

A deep hostility flashed in the eyes of the tall old ape, whose body was covered with dark, dense fur, and a series of low growls came from its throat.
