I did not respond. Everything was understood without words. Since we could not determine or understand whether they were good or evil, we would let time prove it. For now, all we could do was trust them.
"Senior Li is currently being held in the underground palace in the north. With your strength, rescuing him shouldn't be difficult. The Imperial Immortal Palace has practically been uprooted. The Antarctic Immortal Sect is the chief culprit. Their disciples have poured out in force, and they're probably trying to wipe out all the immortal cultivators in the world. I still have to hurry to the Immortal Mountain Jade Lake, so I won't travel with you." Before leaving, I tossed out those words, then took Shao Zi up to the mortal world and continued eastward.
The sky had already darkened, and scattered raindrops still fell. Under the night sky, I took Shao Zi back to the BYD off-road vehicle. I pulled out my phone, but even on the highway there was not the slightest signal, so I could only keep driving toward the town.
Halfway there, Shao Zi excitedly handed me the phone. "Master, Uncle Zhao Qian's call went through!"
I happily took it. The ringing tone on the other end continued, but I could not help worrying. Zhao Qian and Yuan Ci had also gone to the Imperial Immortal Palace and successfully stolen the third Boundary Stone, but whether the Antarctic Immortal Sect would find them was still unknown. An Roshui was still locked inside my Soul Box, so I could interrogate her, but I could not let my guard down around the Immortal-Viewing Mirror. For now, I would find Zhao Qian and the others first.
While I was thinking about all this, the call connected.
"Brother Tian? Why did you suddenly call?"
