The Four Seas Cultivation Alliance had dozens of members, mainly representatives of major sect cultivators from the Eastern Immortal Sea and the Northern Spirit Sea, led by the Nascent Soul Old Monster from the Immortal Sea Academy.

The group included Jianzi of the Yongxin Sword Sect Sword Son Sect, a group of cultivators from the Immortal Sea Academy, cultivators from Dragon Spirit Island, and cultivators from the Bright Light Sect and Bibo Giant Wave Blessed Land.

Among the people from the Bright Light Sect was Bai Zhi, the Saintess who had interacted with Chen Dengming.

He Yingyu listened to Guan Chao and the others' introductions along the way, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

She was appointed as a Golden Core Golden Core Elder stage, filling the vacancy of the Elder position in the Longevity Sect.

After all, the number of Golden Core Elder in the Longevity Sect was not particularly large.

Before the entire sect of the four regions fled, Qiu Feng, Cheng Zhenwei, and other Golden Core Elder of the Changchun and Changqing sects were dispatched along with Chen Dengming to other alternative escape routes.

As a result, after that trip, both sides disappeared without a trace, and the number of Golden Core Elder in the Longevity Sect was reduced even further.

He Yingyu's breakthrough to the Golden Core stage and her election as an elder was also a decision made in a time of crisis.

Now, after hearing what Elder Guan Chao and others said, it seemed that the many cultivators from the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance had ill intentions, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Gongshu Zai, "Hey, Junior Sister He, you represent Dao Child. Just keep quiet and observe from now on, and we'll cover for you."

Wen Liyan nodded, "That's right. The cultivators sent by the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance are ostensibly here to offer their condolences, but in reality, they are here to probe the situation of overseas sects like ours."

We can't appear too assertive, or people will resent us; nor can we appear too weak, or people will think we're easy to bully. It's a difficult situation.

Ran Yiqiang, whose severed hand had been reattached, said solemnly, "I heard they went to the Tiandao Sect and the Shu Sword Pavilion first, and Fellow Daoists Qiao Zhaoxian and Gao Lingxiao suffered some minor losses."

Upon hearing this, He Yingyu's heart leaped into her throat. This meant that those who came were not well-intentioned, and those who did not come were not friendly.

Perhaps one of the important targets in the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance's investigation this time is her Husband, Chen Dengming.

After all, a Daoist Dao Child is already considered the number one figure besides the patriarch and the sect leader.

Over the years, the position of sect leader of the Longevity Sect has been mainly held and managed by Dao Child and Su Yan Yan, with other elders sharing the responsibilities. Chen Dengming can be considered half a sect leader.

Now that her Husband has missed his chance to go out due to his cultivation, she absolutely cannot let Husband lose face.

At this moment, more than a dozen spirit boats flew close to the shore of the island ahead, and dozens of people, enveloped in spiritual light, flew out of the spirit boats.

The shimmering water and the shadows of boats created a picturesque scene, exuding tranquility and beauty beside the island.

"Although Longevity Island is a bit remote, the scenery is quite beautiful, making one forget worldly worries and feel refreshed."

A male cultivator in a magnificent robe, with a handsome face and a dashing air about him, smiled.

"If it weren't for its remote location, how could the Longevity Sect have gotten their hands on this Fourth-Rank Spirit Vein?"

A cultivator with bushy eyebrows snorted softly.

Xing Huiguang Nascent Soul True Lord of the Immortal Sea Academy as he flew out, stiffened slightly. He then resumed his conversation with the Nascent Soul True Nascent Soul of the Immortal Sea Academy as if nothing had happened, while inwardly snorting and cursing.

Do you really think that the Longevity Sect Nascent Soul of his Longevity Sect isn't Nascent Soul?

He hasn't gone far yet, and you dare to talk like that? Do you think he can't hear you?

At this moment, He Yingyu and others also flew over to greet the guests.

The two groups introduced themselves to each other, mentioning that He Yingyu was the wife of the Longevity Dao Child and had come on his Dao Child. The cultivators couldn't help but glance at He Yingyu a few more times.

Seeing her slender and graceful figure, straight waist, and elegant and dignified demeanor, I couldn't help but feel a sense of goodwill towards her.

However, Longevity Dao Child did not appear, but only sent a lady to receive him. Many people had different expressions, but no one confronted him directly.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two sides flew straight towards the Longevity Sect.

Within the Longevity Sect, on the floating island of the Longevity Hall, lies a place for entertaining and relaxing visiting dignitaries. Female cultivators perform music and dance day and night, and the spacious rooms, adorned with carved beams and painted rafters, resemble a fairyland in the sky.

After everyone leisurely entered and took their seats, female disciples served them spiritual tea, spiritual wine, fruits, and pastries, showing them great hospitality.

When the cultivators raised their cups in a toast, He Yingyu responded gracefully and dignifiedly to each one. Her speech and demeanor were natural and composed, which won her the favor of some of the cultivators.

However, while sitting at the table, she could always sense a faint, almost imperceptible gaze glancing at her.

With her exceptional perception as a woman, she was naturally able to determine who was giving that threatening look.

A strange question arose in her mind, and unable to resist her curiosity, she looked at the source of the gaze, only to find that the other person was also smiling and looking at her.

Seeing her look over, the other person smiled and nodded, her beautiful eyes clear and boundless, seemingly containing an indescribable calm and depth, a profound allure and approachability that captivated.

These eyes seem to always be filled with friendliness and smiles, but upon closer inspection, they are quite calm, leaving a deep impression on first glance.

"Saintess Highness!"

He Yingyu already knew the identity of this Bright Light Sect Saintess, so she raised her cup, smiled, and greeted her.

Bai Zhi returned the smile with a smile that was as refreshing as a spring breeze, her beautiful eyes seeming to speak volumes.

He Yingyu immediately heard a soft and pleasant female voice in her ear.

"Fairy Crane, I once met your Husband, Your Highness Daozi, and we had a brief interaction. I've come to visit you today with many fellow Daoists, but I must remind you that it would be best to summon Your Highness Daozi."

Upon hearing this, He Yingyu felt a chill run down her spine, but her expression remained unchanged. As she put down her wine cup, she transmitted her voice.

"Thank you for your concern and reminder, Your Saintess. However, my Husband is indeed in deep seclusion. As you know, it is not advisable to forcibly disturb us cultivators in this level of seclusion."

"But I wonder what important matter you distinguished guests have that requires you to seek out my Husband?"

Bai Zhi smiled politely and said in a leisurely voice transmission, "Actually, our main purpose this time is to find out why your Longevity Sect has been able to discover the locations of many deeply hidden Devil Cultivator over the past few years."

This is one of the tasks we are tasked with during this investigation.

We have done a detailed analysis, and only a few of your Longevity Sect's ancestors and His Your Highness Daozi could obtain this kind of intelligence.

"We can't possibly fathom the true nature of the elders, so we can only start with His Your Highness Daozi."

He Yingyu forced herself to suppress the turmoil in her heart.

As Chen Dengming's bedmate, she naturally understood why the Longevity Sect was able to repeatedly discover traces of Devil Cultivator.

But she would never reveal this problem.

For a moment, she couldn't even tell whether Bai Zhi was testing her, trying to get information out of her, or was genuinely offering a friendly reminder.

Why are you telling me all this?

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi turned her head away, no longer looking at He Yingyu, and replied with a smile via telepathy.

"Because I am willing to help your Husband, Your Highness Daozi!"

He Yingyu's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a sudden sense of threat. She had a feeling that this Saintess Maiden was not someone to be trifled with, as if she had her eye on her Junior Brother and wanted to take Chen Dengming away from her. These words were like a declaration of war.

But then again, it seems absurd and laughable.

At that moment, she received another barely perceptible telepathic transmission.

"Oh, right. I forgot to remind you, when I arrived near your Longevity Island, I vaguely sensed the aura of Incense and Faith."

I think His Highness Yongxin Sword Son might have noticed it.

He Yingyu was startled. She lowered her head and glanced at the seating area of the Yongxin Sword Sect, only to find that some of the Yongxin Sword Sect disciples had already left under some pretext.

As she was pondering, Yongxin Sword Son was opposite her, suddenly noticed her gaze. His bright eyes also turned to her. He smiled slightly, gave a polite greeting, raised his glass, and stood up.

"Fairy Crane, I have long heard of your Husband, the Longevity Your Highness Daozi, and have admired him for a long time. Unfortunately, I have no chance to meet him today. May I ask when Your Highness went into seclusion to cultivate?"

He Yingyu also stood up, and was about to raise her glass in return when she responded.

Yongxin Sword Son continued, "Is it really impossible to emerge from seclusion in the near future?"

"If I can emerge from seclusion, I would be willing to linger at the Longevity Sect for a while longer, just to see Your Highness once!"

He Yingyu's heart skipped a beat. Her beautiful eyes looked at Yongxin Sword Son's seemingly warm and smiling face, which was actually proud and slightly aloof. She realized that his politeness was feigned, but in reality, he was trying to force her to give a response.

"Your Sword Son." Ye Yongzheng was about to stand up with a smile to cover for He Yingyu.

Yongxin Sword Son's eyes swept over like two sharp swords, and he said calmly, "Elder Ye, I am currently speaking with your respected Dao Child Madam. Please do not interrupt, as you are being impolite."

This was already quite an overreaction, True Man Yu Ding Ye Yong's face immediately stiffened, making the atmosphere tense.

The instigator Yongxin Sword Son, suddenly smiled amiably and looked at He Yingyu politely, saying in a gentle tone, "Fairy He, I'm sorry, I lost my composure a bit, but it was out of respect for you. We disciples of the Yongxin Sword Sect all know that I am quite serious in my dealings with people and matters."

This masterful use of both firmness and gentleness, along with his skillful manipulation of words, is like a cunning and deceptive sword technique, making it difficult to find fault with him and thus demonstrating the prowess of Yongxin Sword Son.

He Yingyu had come to understand, but at this moment, she could no longer back down or compromise.

If she hadn't known that the cultivators of the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance had come for Chen Dengming, she might have tried to return to her cave abode to call for Chen Dengming.

Now that she knows the other party came for Chen Dengming, she certainly can't back down. If she backs down any further, her most precious Junior Brother will be behind her.

She bowed gracefully and smiled, "Your Sword Son, you also know what entering a deep level of seclusion means."

To be honest, my Husband went into seclusion five years ago, and during these five years he has been completely ignorant of matters both within and outside the sect."

"Oh?"

Yongxin Sword Son raised an eyebrow, surprised, and said, "Is that so? So, all the information your Longevity Sect has been reporting to the Immortal Cultivation Alliance about the hiding places of Devil Cultivator over the years was given to you by someone else?"

You must know, these Devil Cultivators are all hiding in extremely remote places. Even many of our native immortal sects across the four seas have failed to find them. I wonder how your Longevity Sect managed to do it?"

He Yingyu said calmly, "This is a closely guarded secret of my Longevity Sect. There are other methods involved, and I truly don't know them. It's really hard for me to explain."

Yongxin Sword Son narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "I've long heard that your Longevity Sect's Longevity Dao lineage can research methods and Dharma Gate Divine Ability such as the Heavenly Eye and the Eye of the Heavens, and even hear the Heaven's Will and foresee the future."

Could it be that what you mean by not knowing involves a lineage of Daoist teachings that your Husband has only recently come into contact with?

If that's the case, then we still need to meet with the Longevity Dao Child, because the matter of Devil Cultivator is precisely what we need to find out about this matter since we came here to investigate."

These words immediately made the atmosphere even more tense. The elders of the Longevity Sect all looked grim, feeling that Yongxin Sword Son was indeed being aggressive.

The cultivators of the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance wore ambiguous and intriguing expressions, harboring a lot of sarcasm in their hearts.

In recent years, the Longevity Sect has repeatedly made meritorious contributions without having to get involved in the struggle against the Devil Cultivator. They have gained a lot of attention and comfort by remaining aloof from the conflict, which has long made many sect cultivators unhappy.

Who would want to see a foreign power so successful?

At this juncture, it would be ideal to confront them directly, embarrass them, regain control of the local forces, and suppress any negative sentiment.

Unfortunately, the Longevity Dao Child was too clever, or rather, the reputation of the Longevity Sect's ten-thousand-year-old tortoise was indeed well-deserved. He actually went into seclusion early on under the pretext of cultivation.

However, with Yongxin Sword Son leading the charge, there's no way to avoid it no matter what.

Just as the atmosphere was about to become awkward, a hearty laugh came from the high pavilion above the island.

"Yongxin Sword Son, I didn't expect you to know so much about the Longevity Sect's lineage?"

If I told you that the locations of these Devil Cultivators were detected by us old folks using our Heavenly Eye, would you still insist on pressing the issue?

A powerful and overwhelming spiritual force emanated from above.

But then, from the high pavilion atop the palace roof, Xing Huiguang, his beard flying and his wide sleeves fluttering, smiling as he stepped out.

Yongxin Sword Son's expression remained unchanged. Although he immediately performed the Sword Cultivator salute, he was neither humble nor arrogant.

Inside the high pavilion, another Nascent Soul spirit emerged almost immediately, revealing the figure of an old man with a round face and high nose, who smiled and said...

"Hey! Brother Xing, don't bother with these juniors. You're joking, aren't you? If you really discovered these Devil Cultivators' locations, then our Immortal Cultivation Alliance is in for a treat."

Seeing that Xing Huiguang, the Nascent Soul Old Monster from Zhong Shigui Immortal Sea Academy, had resolved the situation so quickly, Xing Huiguang was unable to retaliate and could only laugh it off.

Zhong Shigui's words effectively shut down his attempt to extricate himself from the predicament, yet he couldn't actually defend himself or admit it.

Because currently, even he and several other Longevity Old Ancestor are unable to use their Heavenly Eye or the Eye of the Heavens to locate the Devil Cultivator.

The traces of Devil Cultivator provided over the years have almost all been provided by Chen Dengming alone.

If he were to take full responsibility for this matter on himself and the two ancestors, then the Immortal Cultivation Alliance would demand that they use their Heavenly Eye to find more hidden Devil Cultivator, but they would be unable to do so, and trouble would ensue.

More importantly, he knew very well that this so-called investigation into the Devil Cultivator was merely a pretext for the Four Seas Cultivation Alliance to put pressure on overseas forces.

The main purpose was to lay the groundwork for the next counterattack plan after the initial warning.

At this moment, Yongxin Sword Son suddenly took out a shining Sound Transmission Jade Talisman, smiled, and bowed to Zhong Shigui, who had landed with Xing Huiguang.

"Nephew Disciple Zhong! I've discovered something interesting outside Longevity Island and want to go check it out myself."

He Yingyu's heart tightened, realizing that it was probably a disciple from the Yongxin Sword Sect who had just left who had discovered the trace of Chen Dengming's clone.

These sect cultivators with their own lineage of Incense and Faith possess a level of insight into the power of Incense and Faith that far surpasses that of ordinary cultivators.

"Oh?" The Nascent Soul Old Monster Zhong Shigui's eyes flashed, and he waved his hand with a smile, "Nephew Disciple Ao, you may go ahead."

"We'll follow Sword Son to see what's going on!"

The other cultivators all stood up and laughed. Although they didn't understand why Yongxin Sword Son wanted to leave Longevity Island at this time, they felt that things were not so simple.
