Lin Xuan fell silent, not knowing what to say.
But Liu Ruyan continued, "Your eldest senior sister is perfectly capable of handling this sort of thing. It's just a pity..."
She did not finish her sentence, but Lin Xuan understood what she meant.
"Master, there is no need to worry. There will definitely be a way to wake Senior Sister Hong Ling."
"Mm!"
Liu Ruyan nodded and did not pursue the subject further.
"We can discuss this later."
"I came this time to tell you that Demon Emperor Bai Qian sent word: the Immortal Path has vanished from above the Fox Clan's territory."
"Hm?"
"Why?"
Lin Xuan instinctively sensed that this was no simple matter.
Liu Ruyan did not beat around the bush and said directly, "According to Demon Emperor Bai Qian's message, the things inside must have come out and moved that broken Immortal Path."
"Otherwise, the moment those things emerged, the Demon Emperor would have smashed them to pieces."
Lin Xuan thought of Bai Qian's temperament. She was exceedingly close to her own people, but far more violent toward enemies—let alone beings with whom she shared the hatred of extermination.
Of course, the methods of those things within the Immortal Path still shocked Lin Xuan. To think they could even move the Immortal Path—it was truly extraordinary.
"The Demon Emperor told us to remain vigilant. If anything unexpected happens, immediately send word to the Fox Clan and request support."
"Those things are extremely dangerous. Ordinary people cannot even detect their existence."
Liu Ruyan cautioned Lin Xuan.
"I know what to do," Lin Xuan agreed.
"Alright!"
"That is all. Your senior brother is about to leave seclusion as well. He should come looking for you."
"Be careful in everything!"
Liu Ruyan said one last thing.
"Yes!"
Lin Xuan answered.
