Gu Xun'er Meets Xiao Xuan; A Minor Problem

"Elder Feng, is there news of my teacher?" Seeing this, Xiao Yan hurried forward and asked anxiously.

Venerable Feng turned around, a complicated expression on his weathered face.

He sighed and slowly said, "There are clues, but nothing certain. I still need some time to track down accurate information."

He paused, then continued, "At present, only one Two-Star Dou Zun has stated that he isn't afraid of opposing the Soul Hall."

Trying to storm the Earthly Fiend Hall with just two Dou Zuns to save someone was practically a death wish. Knowing where an old friend was but lacking the ability to rescue him was the most frustrating thing of all.

Xiao Yan was somewhat dejected as well. He lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly.

"You mean... Qin Chen?"

Venerable Feng was briefly stunned, then frowned. "But the Central Plains are where the Soul Hall's influence is strongest. Is he willing to take such a risk?"

As for the candidate mentioned by a kid born on the Northwestern Continent like Xiao Yan, Qin Chen was the only person Venerable Feng could think
