The spirit beasts were dissatisfied, but under the pressure of Zixie Qing, they dared not resist. Chu Le'er and Mo Qingwu forcibly summoned a majestic black blood mystic tiger each and rode on them.
Each of these towering black blood mystic tigers weighed about five to six hundred pounds, extremely robust. The two girls rode them proudly through the streets; well, not streets, but rather sashayed through the Black Blood Jungle...
On this journey, they created a sensational scene, clearing all the paths ahead.
Within the Black Blood Jungle, everyone and every spirit beast stood respectfully on both sides, while ahead, people continued to clear the way amidst rising dust.
Chu Yang realized that the token Zixie Qing had given him was likely extraordinary.
He grabbed a man in black, who had lived in the Black Blood Jungle for a long time, and sniffed around. He soon learned that this was indeed the king's token of the Black Blood Jungle. With this token, one could command the entire Black Blood Jungle!
Chu Yang's heart trembled.
Zixie Qing was still worried about him. She hadn't said anything, but she had still left him such a powerful force!
In conversation, he learned that the inhabitants of the Black Blood Jungle had grown accustomed to living in perpetual darkness for years, and if they rashly ventured out, their eyes might not be able to handle the light...
Thus, even when they had to leave for some matter, they had to wear eye patches, and the duration of their stay outside could never exceed two months.
Otherwise, their eyes would be ruined.
Chu Yang understood this and bid farewell to the waves of people coming to pay their respects as he journeyed deeper into the heart of the Black Blood Jungle. The various segment leaders were waiting there; upon seeing that it was Chu Yang and not Zixie Qing who had arrived, everyone had some doubts in their hearts, but Zixie Qing's spiritual perception was beyond question.
Chu Yang explained: Zixie Qing had gone to Heavens Beyond Heaven on business and would return soon.
The segment leaders nodded in agreement.
With Zixie Qing's strength, it was indeed very likely for her to handle matters in Heavens Beyond Heaven; furthermore, she would certainly succeed...
After finally passing through the Black Blood Jungle, everyone rushed along on horseback for a while and then began riding sleds.
In this way, they continued their journey; coupled with the help of the wind fox, and the spirit beasts pulling the sleds, they traveled over two thousand miles in a day. However, it took nearly two months from the Zhuge family until they were almost at Ping Sha Ridge!
The weather here was colder than in due south, with snow still not melted. Everyone sat on the sleds, zipping through as if they were on a ship until they reached Ping Sha Ridge.
As soon as Chu Yang entered Ping Sha Ridge, someone rode back quickly to report the news.
The young master has returned!
The Chu Family, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly became joyous.
Yang Ruolan hurriedly ran out, while Chu Feiling advised her, “You should be waiting inside calmly for your son to come and pay his respects. Why the hurry?”
Yang Ruolan retorted, “If you’re not in a hurry, why are you out here?”
Chu Feiling replied, “A father doesn’t have so many concerns.”
Yang Ruolan scoffed coldly, “Forget it. You’re still just a sworn brother…”
Chu Feiling instantly blushed and became tongue-tied, not knowing what to say.
As the two exchanged glances, they saw a row of sleds rushing towards them from the distance, moving extremely fast. On the first sled was none other than her son, Chu Yang!
Yang Ruolan's heart filled with joy, and tears immediately welled up in her eyes, her hands trembling; Chu Feiling wanted to say a few jokes to ease his wife's mood but found his own voice shaking.
When they finally reached him, Chu Yang had already flown over and embraced his mother: “Mother!”
Yang Ruolan hugged her son back, tears streaming down her face as she trembled, “Yangyang, my dear child... I missed you so much…”
