After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 175 Revisiting the Red Soil

"Chief, I think I should know who the evil spirit is?" Qin Qing suddenly said, then, ignoring Lu Qingshan's attempts to pull him away, he got up and went to the center of the tent.

Everyone inside the tent looked at Qin Qing with great surprise.

"Qin Qing, tell me!" Bai Lu couldn't help but show some curiosity.

“The evil spirit is very likely Lu Qingshan’s junior brother, Shen Xu!” Qin Qing said seriously.

"What?" Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Lu Qingshan with shocked expressions.

Bai Lu frowned as she looked at Lu Qingshan, then turned to Qin Qing and asked, "What evidence do you have?"

“I heard from Junior Sister Jialin that Shen Xu’s Five Waves have reached the point where the waves are solid and can be controlled at will. She has never seen such a powerful Five Waves before. She also said that she wouldn’t be surprised if Shen Xu could use Six Waves.”

"Qingshan, do you have anything to say?" Bailu asked coldly.

“Junior Brother Shen is aloof and I rarely interact with him, so I don’t know him very well,” Lu Qingshan replied somewhat nervously after stepping forward.

"You don't need to be nervous. I'm just curious why you didn't recommend such an accomplished person to us."

“Junior Brother Shen offended a big shot in the Sword Alliance, and in order not to implicate us, he had no choice but to distance himself from us,” Lu Qingshan said respectfully.

"An important figure?" Bai Lu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Alright! I understand about this matter, but knowing the identity of the evil spirit won't help us at all. We should just treat him normally. Besides, what Qin Qing said may not be true."

I'm prepared to agree to the Aoki Society's conditions, but even if we withdraw, we can't let the Golden Rainbow Society off easily. We need to take a piece of their flesh on the condition that we withdraw from the Kunyuan Palace.

"And since we've chosen to trust the Aoki Society, we can no longer hesitate. I'm going to select some people to go with the evil spirits and explore the Kunyuan Palace first," Bai Lu said solemnly.

"Should we summon the evil spirits?" Guan Bi asked.

"Let him come again. After all, whether we can leave depends on his mood."

When Shen Xu entered the main tent for the third time, although he didn't know what had happened during his absence, he noticed that the way the people around him looked at him was clearly different.

"Has Chairman Bai made a decision?"

“That’s right, I’ve decided to agree to your conditions, and you need to take us into that Kunyuan Palace.”

Shen Xu said somewhat helplessly, "Chief Bai, please don't force me. I can only tell you how to get close to the area near Kunyuan Palace. As for how to enter Kunyuan Palace, that's beyond my ability to help you."

"Aren't you going to take us there?" Bai Lu asked, frowning.

"I will tell you the route to Kunyuan Palace and how to cross that blue lake. What difference does it make whether I am there or not?"

"You must take us there, or I will never agree to your terms," ​​Bai Lu said coldly.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Xu replied, "I can take you there, but when you negotiate with the Jin Hong Association, you must include our proposal. It's not necessary for them to accept it, but you must show your support for us!"

"I can agree to that! Do you have any other conditions?"

"That's all. Also, I advise you not to send too many people. After all, you're not going there to fight, and the Condensation Pool can't accommodate that many people."

“We will build a new camp near the Misty Forest, but I will lead a team with you to the Kunyuan Palace first,” Bai Lu replied.

"When do you plan to leave?"

"How are things now?" Bai Lu replied immediately.

Looking into Bai Lu's earnest eyes, Shen Xu couldn't help but praise, "Chairman Bai is truly decisive and efficient!"

……

"I really didn't expect that the Tianhe Society would be able to tame beasts!" Shen Xu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration as he looked at the spirited red demon horse in front of him.

"If you like, I can give you one," Bai Lu said.

"Then I'll accept it without hesitation," Shen Xu said with a smile, as riding a horse was much faster than walking.

"If flying magical artifacts weren't prohibited in the Kunyuan Secret Realm, we wouldn't need to go through all this trouble!" Wen Han said with some dissatisfaction.

Shen Xu replied with a smile, "If we are allowed to use flying magical artifacts, wouldn't those Kunyuan Palaces just open their doors and let us in?"

“You’re right, you’ll always create some difficulties for us, but I’m curious how you’ll lead us closer to the Kunyuan Palace,” Guan Bi suddenly asked.

"You'll find out when we get there!" Shen Xu said mysteriously.

Two days later, the members of the Tianhe Society were stunned as they looked at the red land covered in a thin mist.

"I never imagined there really was a new red earth continent behind the Misty Forest!" Bai Lu exclaimed.

Shen Xu said with a smile, "There's no benefit for me in lying to you! You chose the wrong direction to explore in the first place, which is why you missed this place."

“The Misty Forest is not easy to traverse. Considering the situation at the time, I abandoned that direction, but I don’t think I made a wrong decision.” Bai Lu’s tone was very calm.

Shen Xu glanced at Bai Lu with some surprise. Sure enough, how could one become the leader without some courage?

"This place is only breathtaking at first glance, but most of it is like this. You'll get bored soon. Come on! I'll show you this red wasteland."

Beyond the fog-shrouded area, the group finally saw the true face of this red earth continent. Under the blazing sun, heat rose, and only a few withered weeds could be seen from a great distance, making it seem like a lifeless wasteland.

"This is the real barren red soil. Without the power of water, being teleported here would most likely mean certain death! That's why I said that Kunyuan Palace belongs to your Tianhe Society." Shen Xu couldn't help but feel a little emotional looking at the familiar scene before him.

“It must have been quite an achievement for you to get out of here,” Guan Bi couldn’t help but say.

"Just lucky! I was able to find the right direction thanks to the explorers you sent into the Misty Forest." Shen Xu couldn't help but think of the young man who had given him directions. If he could meet him at the Greenwood Gathering, he might as well give him a spot in the sword selection.

After all, even if someone knows the right direction, it takes a lot of people to make it through alone.

"That means you and our Tianhe Sect are very destined for each other. If I'm not mistaken, you are also a swordsman selected within the Tianhe Sword Sect's territory!" Guan Bi said with a smile.

Shen Xu replied with a smile, "You're right. In fact, some of you should know me."

"If I may ask, why did you join the Aoki-kai?" Bai Lu suddenly asked.

"For a sliver of hope," Shen Xu replied slowly.

Bai Lu couldn't help but look at the man in front of her. She could hear a very complex emotion in his answer.

"Actually, once you enter this red soil, it's easy to find the Kunyuan Palace. Just keep walking towards the place with the most abundant moisture, and you'll see a green lake in the red wasteland. The Kunyuan Palace is in the center of that lake."
