Not long after Ying Bing and Li Mo left Greenwood City.

In a private room on the second floor of the restaurant, a group of members of the Demonic Sect were having breakfast together. There were too many of them to fit on the first floor, so they came back after ordering.

Luo Yexian sat in the main seat, waiting for the waiter to serve the dishes.

However, at that moment, he suddenly felt a burning sensation in his arms; it was his token.

As a demonic sect, the Demon Summoning Cult naturally has its own set of communication methods, one of which is the token. Ordinary members can Will Soul to transmit messages through the token.

The hall master's is even more advanced; it's a relic from High Antiquity and can project images.

Buzz--

Buzz--

"Quiet down, everyone. It's His Highness the Holy Son."

Luo Yexian signaled his men to be quiet before connecting the token, and a picture instantly formed from the light.

"Greetings, Holy Son."

The figure on the other side of the light screen was distorting unsteadily, making it look somewhat eerie.

This Demon Summoning Holy Son was once the Hidden Dragon Ranking, but was later defeated by the Crown Prince of Great Yu, his dragon form was shattered, and he was reduced to competing with the Heaven Derivation Sect Walker Tian Miao for the top three.

From then on, his temperament became increasingly unpredictable.

"Why has your investigation into the Myriad Phenomena Immortal Sect remained unanswered for so long?"

The Demon Summoning Holy Son's voice was deep and resonant.

Hearing that the Holy Son wasn't in a good mood, Luo Yexian straightened up first:

"You said I shouldn't be bothered until there's a result, isn't that what you meant?"

"..."

The phantom of the Demon Summoning Holy Son flickered twice.

Why can't you be more flexible?

"Last time you said we were clumsy and narrow-minded, and that we should never act on our own or do anything unnecessary, and that we should follow your wise instructions in everything we do."

Luo Yexian accepted the advice.

"But I also said that in urgent situations, one should act expediently, and in the event of an emergency, one can make one's own decision."

"But you didn't say anything last time, so wouldn't this be considered an unexpected situation?"

"Didn't I tell you to ask?!"

The Demon Summoning Holy Son's tone was somewhat strained.

Luo Yexian said matter-of-factly, "But you said that before there's a result, I'm not allowed to disturb your meditation..."

He acted very steadily, following the rules and procedures given by the Holy Son in everything he did.

"You..."

The phantom trembled violently a few times.

The Demon Summoning Holy Son might want to curse, but given that the Hundred Beast Hall Master is his uncle, some of his words might end up hurting himself more than he hurt the enemy.

Why didn't I find communication so difficult before?

Oh, although the Hundred Beast Hall used to have a hall master, it was only in name.

Most events in the Southern Border were orchestrated by Han Zhen, but now that Han Zhen is dead, the average intelligence of the Hundred Beast Hall has plummeted...

But even though Luo Yexian wasn't his uncle, he had already invoked religious rules!

"Alright, what have you done so far?"

"Your Holy Son, we have tracked them down to Greenwood City and are waiting for the right moment to act. As soon as they leave Greenwood City, we will be able to find them immediately!"

Luo Yexian spoke in a deep voice, finally saying something reliable.

The fickle phantom of the Demon Summoning Demon Summoning Holy Son finally stabilized somewhat. This so-called Myriad Phenomena Immortal Sect was most likely a figment of imagination, but what if it was?

The Myriad Phenomena Immortal Sect has only revealed the tip of the iceberg; it's terrifying.

Even a one in ten thousand chance is enough for him to be cautious.

"The other party is in Greenwood City?"

"That's right."

The Demon Summoning Holy Son took a deep breath. He couldn't get away for the moment, and he was also afraid that Luo Yexian mess things up, so he emphasized again:

"Once you find the other party, you must first test them. Even if the test reveals they are lying, you must consult me before deciding what to do. You must report to me on any situation that arises!"

"Yes!"

The phantom then vanished.

Before long, the dishes were served, Demon Summoning Cult took out several sets of mahjong tiles and started playing. After all, they couldn't do anything else, so this was the only way to pass the time.

Suddenly, the buck-toothed High Priest's eyes widened:

"A pure suit! I have a pure suit of seven pairs! Pay up!"

But not long after, the middle-aged High Priest suddenly returned from outside and shouted:

"Master, the enemy has left the city!"

"Yes, let's set off immediately."

Luo Yexian suddenly stood up, overturning the mahjong table in the process.

"But I have all one suit..."

"With such important matters at hand, how can you let yourself be distracted by trivialities and fail to distinguish between what is important and what is urgent?"

"???"

In short, the group of members of the Demonic Sect set off in a grand procession, riding on a Sixth Grade Calamity Beast and soaring into the sky.

Throughout the journey, the gaunt, middle-aged High Priest kept a close watch on the flow of the Power of All Living Beings.

After a long pause, he spoke again:

"Master, the place where the Power of All Living Beings converges is just ahead."

"Oh? It stopped?"

Luo Yexian narrowed his eyes.

Ahead lay a lush, sprawling peach orchard, with a green stream flowing gently like a jade ribbon, its destination unknown.

Peach petals fall onto the stream, creating a breathtakingly beautiful, tranquil, and dreamlike scene; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it leads to a fairyland on earth.

Ugh--

The sound of the flute seemed to flow out along with the babbling brook.

"Who?!"

Luo Yexian spoke cautiously.

The group of members of the demonic sect subconsciously looked up, but their pupils involuntarily contracted.

From the depths of the peach blossom grove, a small boat slowly approached.

At the bow of the boat stood a young girl in a black fairy dress, her figure ethereal and graceful, her skirt swaying lightly as she played a flute. The music echoed softly through the peach blossom forest, its sound seemingly coming from beyond the heavens, completely different in style from any other melody in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, yet imbued with a sense of vicissitude.

Well, their styles are indeed quite different.

If anyone in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths has ever heard of "The Big Fish," then they've truly seen a ghost.

But in any case.

With such an ethereal and otherworldly scene before them, no one dared to make a move.

More importantly, that girl was extraordinary.

Her face was veiled with a light gauze, revealing only her delicate eyebrows. Logically speaking, it was just a light gauze, but if you looked closely, you felt that her ethereal beauty was hidden in the mist, and you couldn't see it clearly at all.

Even with your eyes closed, you wouldn't know there was someone standing there!

It was as if this woman did not belong to this world!

Luo Yexian asked warily:

Who goes there?

"..."

Ying Bing put down her bamboo flute, remaining silent and indifferent as she looked at the group.

This was Li Mo's instruction, to let her recall the days without him.

In a performance, the key is to make a strong first impression; she doesn't need to say anything.

Ice Block's gaze.

Phoenix Heavenly Empress exuded an overwhelming sense of oppression!

Luo Yexian: "!"

The members of the Demon Summoning Cult: "!!!"

Those were such aloof and detached eyes, devoid of any emotion! Like a celestial being looking down upon the mortal world!

That look in your eyes is incredibly intimidating.

Luo Yexian and the rest of the Demon Summoning Cult members were drenched in sweat, feeling that they were just ordinary mortals and not worthy of the other party's attention at all!

Even when facing the Holy Son, they had never felt this way!

Um...

It's almost done.

Little Li, who was secretly observing, nodded in satisfaction. Ice Block's performance was even better than he had imagined; it was almost unbelievable that he was acting.

I need to teach her to be more restrained next time...

The first step was complete. Li Mo stepped out of the peach blossom grove and said loudly:

"Senior sister, please don't rush to kill them. These people are outsiders whom your junior brother brought to visit."
