"I have a favor to ask of you, young friend," Song Wen said.

Jing Kai the Storage Bag in his hand, his Divine Sense sensing the layers upon layers of Spirit Stone inside, and he was quite surprised.

He was initially worried that Song Wen harbored ill intentions towards him, but to his surprise, Song Wen gave him 50,000 Spirit Stone.

Since Song Wen gave him the Spirit Stone, it means that Song Wen had no ill intentions towards him.

After all, given Song Wen's strength, it would be incredibly easy for him to do something to harm him; there would be no need for any underhanded tactics.

"Senior, please speak frankly. As long as it is something I can do, I will never shirk my responsibility." Jing Kai's voice was tinged with excitement.

"In the Flame-Soil Spirit Fields of Limitless Island, there is a Candlefruit Tree. Could you please inquire who is responsible for taking care of this tree?" Song Wen asked.

Song Wen searched Yuan Qing's soul but did not obtain this part of the memory. Therefore, he asked Jing Kai to help investigate this matter.

"Flame-Soil Spirit Fields! Senior, you mean..."

Jing Kai's voice rose slightly, and his expression became somewhat horrified.

He seemed quite surprised that Song Wen dared to covet the spirit field.

Song Wen said, "Young friend, rest assured, you only need to help me gather information; you don't need to handle anything else. After it's done, I will offer you a generous reward."

Jing Kai glanced at the Storage Bag in his hand and said resolutely.

"Don't worry, senior, I will find out about this as soon as possible."

Unexpectedly, Song Wen shook his head.

"There's no rush. The Candlefruit Tree has a rather unusual origin, so please be cautious when inquiring about it, young friend."

The Candlefruit Tree was found by Yuan Qing and planted in the spirit medicine Garden.

If Jing Kai acts too hastily, he may attract the attention of those with ulterior motives, who may mistake him for an accomplice of the murderer.

Jing Kai nodded in agreement, "I will follow your teachings, senior. May I ask where I should look for you after I have gathered the information?"

"You don't need to look for me. I will come to you when the time is right. Until then, just continue as usual," Song Wen said.

The Spirit Candle Fruit will take several more years to mature, so Song Wen plans to leave Limitless Island for a while and return after the turmoil surrounding Yuan Qing's death has subsided.

After exchanging Message Jade Slip, Song Wen and Jing Kai took to the air and departed.

Jing Kai tucked the Storage Bag into his pocket. He vaguely guessed that the deaths of Song Wen and Yuan Qing were intricately connected.

He hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should report the matter to the sect.

But when he thought of the 50,000 Spirit Stone in his arms, he gave up the idea.

After his master passed away, he remained loyal to the sect, but lived a very frugal life.

Now, one can earn a full 50,000 Spirit Stone simply by doing a small favor for 'Extreme Yin'.

Jing Kai instantly understood how to choose.

If my master were alive, he would surely approve of my choice.

Song Wen returned to the deserted island where Shan Yue had been hiding.

Shan Yue seemed quite pleased to see Song Wen return.

"Extreme Yin, you're back."

Song Wen nodded slightly. "Pack your things, let's leave Limitless Island."

"Where are we going?" Shan Yue asked.

Song Wen had clearly already decided on a destination, and said directly, "Fangzhu Island."

Upon hearing this, Shan Yue frowned slightly.

"Going to the Xing Family now! Isn't that a bit too risky?"

After years on the run, she finally escaped from the Xing Family to Limitless Island. Having only enjoyed a year of peace, the thought of returning to the Xing Family naturally filled her with some reluctance.

Song Wen said, "You are wearing Hidden Soul Jade. As long as you don't flaunt yourself in Fangzhu City, the Xing Family won't be able to find you."

Seeing that Song Wen was determined to go to Fangzhu Island, Shan Yue had no choice but to comply.

Two weeks later.

The sun is setting.

The sky was ablaze with crimson clouds, like a raging fire, painting half the heavens red.

The sea surface is sparkling with golden waves, and the water and sky are the same color.

The Shan Yue stands at the bow of the ship, its face illuminated by the rosy clouds, making it appear as if a fairy has descended to earth.

The sunset was picturesque.

A beauty is like a poem.

She gazed silently at the distant sunset, her eyes sparkling with a mesmerizing light.

"Extreme Yin, this sunset is truly beautiful. Sometimes I really want to escape the Cultivation World and live a peaceful life."

Song Wen, who had just finished meditating, glanced at Shan Yue but did not say anything.

Perhaps due to the great changes that had taken place in the Xing Family, Shan Yue became somewhat sentimental, often uttering words of lament and sorrow.

What is that?

Shan Yue pointed to a spot on the sea below and exclaimed in surprise.

Song Wen looked in the direction she was pointing.

In the vast ocean, there lies a circular island.

Two small islands also stand amidst the azure waters surrounded by the ring-shaped islands.

The two islands are positioned on the left and right, respectively, and are symmetrical to each other.

Viewed from above, this ring-shaped island resembles a giant Yin-Yang Bagua (a Chinese divination system), with the two smaller islands resembling the two extreme points within the Bagua.

"Two Forms Island. The headquarters of the Two Forms Sect," Song Wen said.

"The Two Forms Sect! The Two Forms Sect, known as the strongest force in the Sea of Disorder! The Two Forms Sect, which has led the Starsea Alliance for three consecutive terms!" Shan Yue said with a mixture of surprise and curiosity.

Xing Gaohan had long coveted the position of leader of the Starsea Alliance.

But before he could even be replaced by the new leadership, he was ambushed and killed by Xing Wenyao and the Jing Family, who had colluded with him from the outside.

Six years ago, the Starsea Alliance elected a new leader, and the position ultimately belonged to the Two Forms Sect.

"How about we go down and explore Two Forms Island?" Shan Yue asked with great interest.

"Okay," Song Wen said calmly.

Song Wen also wanted to see what kind of aura the strongest sect in the Sea of Disorder was.

In addition, he planned to visit the market of the Two Forms Sect to see if he could buy some of the Two Forms Sect's unique spirit medicine.

Song Wen controlled the spaceship and headed east towards the ring-shaped island, where a large city was located.

It is worth mentioning that there are almost no mortals living on Two Forms Island, only disciples of the Two Forms Sect and independent Rogue Cultivator who are affiliated with the Two Forms Sect.

As for the two Extreme Island in the middle of the circular island, those are the sect headquarters of the Two Forms Sect, and outsiders are forbidden from entering.

As soon as the two arrived above the city, they noticed a huge stone sword standing in the center of the city.

The stone sword pierced the earth, with only half of its blade protruding above the surface. Even so, the stone sword still stood hundreds of feet tall.

From a distance, the stone sword exudes a powerful sense of oppression, inspiring awe and fear.

In front of the stone sword was a huge plaza, surrounded by the market of the Two Forms Sect.

Many cultivators stopped in the square, gazing up at the stone sword.

Song Wen and Shan Yue fell upon the square.

"What a huge stone sword! Why would the Two Forms Sect build such a massive stone sword?"

Shan Yue gazed up at the giant sword and murmured to herself.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, she wore a veil to conceal her stunningly beautiful face.

This veil is no ordinary object, but a Law Treasure that prevents anyone from seeing her face or aura. This artifact was obtained by Song Wen after killing Xing Xinxin.

Song Wen also disguised himself as a middle-aged rogue Rogue Cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

"Reporting to you two seniors, the stone sword was forged by the founding patriarch of the Two Forms Sect. Legend has it that a peerless sword Cultivation Method is hidden within the stone sword, awaiting a destined person to comprehend it."

A young male cultivator at the Qi Refining Fourth Layer appeared beside Song Wen and Shan Yue, speaking with a fawning expression.
