Sister Believes You!

After leaving Taiyin Star, Qin Xuan headed straight for Sun Star.

As soon as he reached the outskirts of Sun Star, he saw Bai Ze hurrying out.

An unconcealable hint of joy still hung on his face.

Qin Xuan's thoughts shifted, and he had already roughly guessed what was going on.

What else could Bai Ze, the Demon Clan's renowned strategist, want from Dijun and Taiyi?

He had most likely gone to persuade them to unite the Demon Clan and establish the Demon Court.

"Persuading Dijun and Taiyi to become Demon Emperors..." Qin Xuan rubbed his chin and pondered inwardly.

According to the original course of events, the Witch Clan should have grown so powerful that it nearly drove the Demon Clan to extinction before Bai Ze had no choice but to invite Dijun and Taiyi to step forward.

But now, because of his appearance, the Witch Clan had completely vanished.

Under such circumstances, what reason had Bai Ze used to convince those two Golden Crows?

"Could it be... that he simply painted them a grand picture of dominating the Primordial World and gathering destiny to attain the Dao?"

Qin Xuan frowned slightly.

If that was the case, then even without the direct trigger of the Lich Tribulation, the Primordial World's great calamity might not be avoidable.

Once the Demon Clan was truly united into a colossal force, it would inevitably squeeze the living space of other races. New disputes and conflicts would be unavoidable.

Not to mention, would the Heavenly Dao—and that one within Zixiao Palace—really permit the Demon Clan to dominate alone, or even dream of gathering destiny to attain the Dao and become Saints?

There were deep waters involved here!

Carrying those doubts, Qin Xuan entered Sun Star and met Dijun.

Dijun also readily handed him thirty Yanyang Fruits. He merely said that something had delayed him and he had not had time to go to Buzhou Mountain, never mentioning anything about becoming a Demon Emperor.

Pangu Temple.

Qin Xuan gave the Yanyang Fruits to Zhurong, then explained the unusual happenings on Sun Star. He also roughly recounted the cause and aftermath of that "misunderstanding" on Taiyin Star.

However, none of the Ancestral Witches cared in the slightest about Sun Star.

"You brat... you really didn't do it on purpose?" Zhurong blinked with a strange expression, clearly not believing Qin Xuan's talk of a misunderstanding in the least.

Qin Xuan rolled his eyes before he could speak.

Hou Tu's gentle voice drifted over as well!

"Little Brother Xuan, do less of this sort of thing in the future!"

Qin Xuan was utterly helpless. If he had known, he would not have brought it up...

"Duang~"

At some point, Xuan Ming had silently appeared behind Zhurong. Expressionless, she slammed a fist onto his head and said coldly:

"Did playing with fire burn your brain out?"

"How could someone as upright as Little Brother Xuan possibly sneak a look at someone bathing?"

As she spoke, she even gave Qin Xuan a look that said, "Your sister believes you."

Qin Xuan was deeply moved. Although Sister Xuan Ming was cold by nature, at a crucial moment, she was the only one who still believed him!

"Hiss..."

Zhurong cried out in pain.

Holding his head with both hands, his wide eyes were full of confusion.

Had Xuan Ming taken the wrong medicine today? Something was off...

Sure enough, Xuan Ming's next sentence came in that same icy tone:

"If you want to look, then look boldly. Next time, don't deliberately pretend to accidentally see someone bathing!"

"..." Her cold words pierced Qin Xuan's heart like ice awls.

Seeing his brothers and sisters all waggling their brows with expressions that said, "Stop explaining, brat, we understand," Qin Xuan knew he was doomed to bear the blame for being a peeping tom. He simply coughed dryly and changed the subject.

"I heard that a treasure has appeared in the East Sea. Should we go take a look?"

Qin Xuan was not merely making up an excuse to fool them. He knew that the three immortal islands—Penglai, Yingzhou, and Fangzhang—were hidden within the East Sea.

It was said that these three immortal islands had formed from fragments of Primordial Chaos that fell into the Primordial World when Pangu split heaven and earth. They were supreme Cave Heaven Blessed Lands, filled with countless treasures, all of them Innate-grade.

However, the Three Immortal Islands were not easy to find.

They were concealed by an Innate Grand Formation. Without fate or some special means, it was nearly impossible to find any trace of them.

According to fate, the Three Immortal Islands should fall into Duke Dong's hands after Hongjun's second sermon.

But for now, they were still ownerless.

With such an excellent Innate blessed land, now that he knew it existed, how could he possibly let it slip by?

Sure enough, the moment he said this, all the Ancestral Witches' eyes lit up. Qin Xuan's little bit of gossip was instantly tossed to the backs of their minds.

They all rubbed their hands together, and cries immediately resounded through the hall:

"Treasure?! Let's go, let's go!"

"Come on! Let's check out the East Sea!"

"What are we waiting for? Let's snatch it!"

They did not doubt Qin Xuan's claim that the East Sea held a treasure in the slightest.

It could not be helped. Nothing their little brother said had ever failed to come true.

If he said it was there, then it was definitely there!

They left as soon as they said so. Thirteen figures instantly turned into streaks of light, departing Pangu Temple and speeding toward the East Sea.

Above the East Sea stretched endless waters. The azure sea reflected the sky blue, and from above the clouds, countless islands dotted the waters like scattered stars.

That day, thirteen figures suddenly descended into this expanse of sky. They were Qin Xuan and the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

"Qin Xuan, is the treasure you mentioned inside the East Sea?" Zhurong scratched his head, staring at the densely packed islands below in confusion.

Qin Xuan nodded. "That's right. The treasure lies in the depths of the East Sea, but not on these ordinary islands. It's in a supreme blessed land hidden much deeper."

Dijiang gazed toward the boundless ocean and asked in a deep voice:

"It's so vast. How are we supposed to find it?"

Qin Xuan smiled. "The Three Immortal Islands are deeply hidden, and we may not know where they are, but the Dragon Clan controls the East Sea. Their information network is extensive, so they must know something!"

Although Qin Xuan had no heaven-ordained fate with the Three Immortal Islands.

Duke Dong did!

The Three Immortal Islands might be hidden and hard to find, but could he not find Duke Dong?

Perhaps Duke Dong was currently hiding somewhere, comprehending the Innate Grand Formation?

First, find Duke Dong through the Dragon Clan. Then, find the Three Immortal Islands through Duke Dong.

The plan was flawless!

With that, Qin Xuan led his brothers and sisters in a flash toward the deepest reaches of the East Sea.
