A faint glow flickered on the compass, revealing a strange rune.
At the sight, Zhou Xun could not help but let out a breath of relief.
The divination showed that his disciple was not in danger and was currently hiding somewhere.
Then, with a change in his Mystic Gestures, an arrow appeared on the compass, pointing toward somewhere in the west.
Zhou Xun immediately rose into the air and sped off in the direction indicated by the arrow.
Half an hour later, he landed beside an ordinary deep pool.
The moment his feet touched the ground, a faint light flashed.
A demon beast with a pair of wings on its back and blue scales covering its entire body appeared before him. It was the Watershed Golden-Eyed Beast.
Three people were riding on its back.
They were Zhou Xun's disciple Yu Siyue, along with her elder brother and father.
The instant Yu Siyue saw Zhou Xun, a flash of delight crossed her eyes. She hurriedly jumped from the Watershed Golden-Eyed Beast's back and ran swiftly toward him.
"Master, you've finally returned!" Yu Siyue said excitedly, tears faintly glimmering in her eyes.
Zhou Xun nodded, sweeping his gaze over Yu Siyue, her elder brother, and her father behind her. Seeing that they were all safe and sound, he finally relaxed.
"It is good that you are all right," Zhou Xun said calmly, though a trace of concern colored his voice.
Yu Siyue's elder brother, Yu Siyuan, stepped forward and bowed respectfully. "Thank you, Senior, for saving our lives! If your spirit beast had not arrived in time, we would likely have been buried in the insect swarm."
Zhou Xun waved a hand. "No need for such courtesy. Since you are my disciple's family, I naturally could not stand by and do nothing."
