Chapter 3362: 3344 Report

Heavenly Demon Realm, Black Tortoise Continent.

The Taiyi Mountain Range, spanning hundreds of millions of miles, lies in the central part of the Black Tortoise Continent. It serves as the headquarters of Taiyi Palace, a place abundant in spiritual energy with countless perilous mountains and exotic peaks, where the climate perpetually feels like spring.

In the northwest corner of the Taiyi Mountain Range, within a vast valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, there is a sprawling estate. Inside, Wang Qingxiao and a distinguished young man in a green shirt were conversing in a blue stone pavilion. The young man in green was none other than the Four Seasons Sword Venerable, the founding patriarch of Taiyi Palace.

Wang Qingxiao had been unexpectedly stranded on the Black Tortoise Continent of the Heavenly Demon Realm. After rescuing a disciple of Taiyi Palace, he arrived at the palace and successfully met the Four Seasons Sword Venerable. The Four Seasons Sword Venerable asked several questions, and after confirming Wang Qingxiao's identity, allowed him to stay at Taiyi Palace.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, I'm afraid I've disappointed you once again. We've failed. Our supply of Realm-Breaker Stones has been exhausted, so we temporarily cannot establish contact with fellow Daoist Wang. You don't need to be too disheartened; please feel free to stay here at Taiyi Palace and focus on your cultivation." The Four Seasons Sword Venerable offered comfort.

Wang Qingxiao had hoped the Four Seasons Sword Venerable could send someone with a split soul to the lower realms to contact the Wang family in the East Hedges Realm and notify the Wang family in the Profound Sun Realm of his safety, but all attempts had unfortunately failed.

Wang Qingxiao sighed softly and asked, "Fellow Daoist Li, is there still no news of my seventh brother and that fairy?"

"I've sent many people to investigate. They likely aren't on the Black Tortoise Continent. The Heavenly Demon Realm is vast; perhaps they landed on another continent," the Four Seasons Sword Venerable analyzed.

Wang Qingxiao and his two companions had been attacked by the Azure Lightning Turtle just as they were about to enter the Heavenly Demon Realm, which caused them to separate.

"I hope they are alright! If you hear any news, please inform me immediately." After saying this, Wang Qingxiao stood up and walked towards a white pavilion not far away.

Skyhawk Continent, Nine-Tailed Mountain Range.

In a secluded estate, Bai Linger and more than a dozen Integration-stage cultivators were leisurely chatting and sipping tea in a blue stone pavilion. Among them, a young man with a hawk-like face, a high nose, and a golden shirt had the most powerful aura, possessing a late Integration-stage cultivation. This was Feng Wuying, a descendant of a Mahayana cultivator from the Skyhawk clan.

The grand birthday celebration of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox patriarch had invited many clans, and the Skyhawk clan had also received an invitation.

"Sister Linger, you'll be attending the Skyhawk Convention in three millennia, won't you?" Feng Wuying asked with a smile.

Bai Linger had already advanced to the Integration stage, possessing a relatively high bloodline with seven tails. Most Nine-Tailed Fox clan members at the Integration stage only had five tails. Even Mahayana cultivators of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox only had seven tails. If one reached nine tails, they would become a true spirit, possessing extraordinary power.

"Perhaps. Fairy Xiong, why isn't your esteemed brother here?" Bai Linger nodded, neither warm nor cold, and changed the subject.

"Suddenly, an Integration-stage sword cultivator skilled in sword manipulation appeared and caused trouble in our Xiongming clan's territory. We are currently gathering experts to encircle and annihilate this person," a graceful young woman in a yellow dress explained.

"An Integration-stage sword cultivator! That's quite rare! Could they be from the Black Tortoise Continent? I heard there's a Taiyi Palace over there, founded by the human cultivator Four Seasons Sword Venerable, and most of Taiyi Palace's disciples are proficient in swordsmanship," Feng Wuying said curiously.

"Possibly. We've obtained a portrait of this individual. Take a look; if this person appears in your territory, you must apprehend them." The young woman in the yellow dress took out a yellow scroll and slowly unrolled it. The painting depicted a young man in a green shirt carrying a blue sword case – it was Wang Qingshan.

Bai Linger's gaze swept over the painting, and she paused briefly, but quickly recovered her composure and casually remarked, "Such a young Integration-stage cultivator. Do you know their name? Perhaps we could inquire about this person from Taiyi Palace."

"We don't know their name, only that they master spiritual attacks, are proficient in swordsmanship, possess a complete set of flying swords, and have an Integration-stage companion with a Lightning Kylin bloodline. They've already killed five of our Integration-stage clan members," the young woman in the yellow dress explained.

"Hmph, this isn't a human-dominated realm. For a human cultivator to commit atrocities on the Skyhawk Continent shows a complete disregard for us. If I encounter this person, I will certainly eliminate them!" Feng Wuying snorted coldly, his face full of murderous intent.

Bai Linger said nothing. The group chatted for over half an hour before each returned to their respective residences.

Back at her dwelling, Bai Linger took out a scroll and unrolled it. The painting was indeed of Wang Qingshan. "You've actually come to the Heavenly Demon Realm, and even the Skyhawk Continent. Is this fate?" Bai Linger murmured to herself.

In her view, Wang Qingshan must have been accidentally stranded in the Heavenly Demon Realm; it was impossible for him to have come specifically to find her. She had been stranded in the Nine Demon Realm and then ascended to the Heavenly Demon Realm; Wang Qingshan couldn't have known Bai Linger was in the Heavenly Demon Realm.

She was only half right. Wang Qingshan had indeed been unexpectedly stranded in the Heavenly Demon Realm, but he did know that Bai Linger was on the Skyhawk Continent within the Heavenly Demon Realm.

She took out a blue glowing magic disk, cast a spell into it, and said, "Mei'er, I want to go to Tianhu Mountain to take charge. Can you speak on my behalf to Grandma?"

"Hmph, why should I help you?" A disdainful female voice came from the blue magic disk.

After Bai Linger joined the Nine-Tailed Fox clan, possessing seven tails, she became highly valued by the Mahayana cultivator Hu Li. This caused discontent among some Nine-Tailed Fox clan members, and Hu Mei'er was one of them. Hu Mei'er had six tails. Before Bai Linger joined the Nine-Tailed Fox clan, Hu Mei'er was Hu Li's most highly regarded clan member.

"I've told you many times, I don't like Feng Wuying. I'll go to the branch stronghold to oversee things. You can accompany him on his travels. With your abilities, making him fall for you shouldn't be a problem, right?" Bai Linger said slowly.

"You'd be so kind?" Hu Mei'er was somewhat suspicious.

"If you don't believe me, then I'll invite him to travel around with me. Are you satisfied now?" Bai Linger said exasperatedly.

Hu Mei'er liked Feng Wuying, but Feng Wuying liked Bai Linger, and Bai Linger did not like Feng Wuying.

"Alright, I'll try. I hope you keep your promise." Hu Mei'er agreed.

"Don't worry, I don't like him. And what he likes isn't me, but a Nine-Tailed Fox clan member with a powerful bloodline. With your aptitude, growing another tail is only a matter of time," Bai Linger said.

"I'll take that as a good omen! But if I find out you've secretly seduced him, don't blame me for turning hostile," Hu Mei'er threatened.

"Seduce him? I'm not that bored," Bai Linger said indignantly.

"I hope so." After saying this, Hu Mei'er cut off the connection.

Bai Linger put away the magic disk, a look of remembrance on her face, and murmured to herself, "Do you still remember me?" She wanted to find Wang Qingshan, but first, she had to leave the Nine-Tailed Mountain Range.

Profound Sun Realm, Profound Spirit Continent.

Green Lotus Island, Green Lotus Peak.

Wang Changsheng sat in a stone pavilion, while Wang Yongzhong was reporting the situation to him. Wang Yihong stood by his side.

"What? Meng Bin and Yu Qi are missing?" Wang Changsheng said with a frown, looking at Wang Yihong.

Wang Yihong quickly said, "Their life soul lamps haven't extinguished. I just contacted the clan members guarding them." As Wang Yongzhong reported, Wang Yihong immediately contacted the clan members guarding the life soul lamps to confirm they had not yet extinguished.

"That's right. Patriarch Qingfeng and the others organized a group of Integration-stage cultivators and searched for decades, but couldn't find them. However, they haven't given up on finding Patriarch Meng Bin and Patriarch Yu Qi, and they sent me back to report," Wang Yongzhong reported.
