The cyan little bird landed on Ah Xiang's shoulder, flapping its wings a few times, seemingly forcing itself to accept the errand. Then, with another motion, it landed in front of the pavilion, transforming into a gigantic cyan bird over a hundred meters long. With a high-pitched cry, the dense forest of Sea Dragon Mountain was immediately filled with startled birds taking flight.

Even without looking, even without the ability to perceive its strength, one could tell it must be a Great Demon in the Mountain Suppression Realm.

Of course, to accompany the Three-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan, it certainly wasn't an ordinary Great Demon of the Mountain Suppression Realm.

"Was it you who ate them!" Ah Xiang glanced at the cyan bird, knowing it wanted to come and go quickly, but what she wanted to do now was to find out who ate her dumplings.

"You said yourself there was a problem, so since there was a problem, we had no choice but to divide them." Lin Kewu shrugged, making a helpless expression, "Today, the Sect Leader was actually in a good mood... If it were any other day, you might never get to eat Moonlight Dumplings again for disparaging them like that."

"I didn't know then..."

"And I didn't know that what you just said was just a casual remark." With that, Lin Kewu was already pulling Wanyan out, saying as they walked, "Got to quickly find a place to bathe, the Moonlight Dumplings are about to take effect. Once you finish that bowl of dumplings, you'll achieve a Purity Body even before entering the Profound level."

Hearing this, Ah Xiang became even angrier.

"Don't run!"

Just as she wanted to leave, she was stopped by the cyan bird, which spoke human words.

"Ah Xiang, we have to go."

"Aunt Qing, he..."

When she withdrew her gaze from the cyan bird, Ah Xiang was suddenly at a loss for words, as Lin Kewu had long since run out of sight.

Only a few empty jade bowls were left behind.

She still had to help clean up!

"That guy... better not let me find a way to break his 'Shouting Skill'!"

Shouting Skill!

Which was also known as the Wind Binding Skill.

Because last time Lin Kewu only used the word "seal," it was thus called "Shouting Skill."

...

After Ah Xiang and the cyan bird left, Wen Ping turned to ask Zi Ran, "Senior Zi Ran, within three days, your hand ailment can be contained. I would like to ask, how long will it take you to make the Three-Vortex Vortex Map?"

He had only fifteen days left.

A proper plan was needed.

Zi Ran was delighted, "If Sect Leader Wen can manage three days, I, an old woman, can make a Three-Vortex Vortex Map in ten days."

"Mmhm."

Wen Ping nodded in thought.

Ten days, he could spare the time to visit Mountain and Sea City.

Cang Lan in the Sea of Clouds must have already received the letter from Biyue Piaoling by Zimo Lake.

"Is Sect Leader Wen in a hurry?"

"If it can be done within ten days, the timing is just perfect for me.."

"Is Sect Leader Wen planning to use it himself?"

"More or less."

"Then I must strive to make a high-quality one. A high-quality Three-Vortex Vortex Map can enhance the power of the Vein Technique by nearly 70% and can greatly close the gap with the Anomalous Vein, surely elevating Sect Leader Wen's power significantly."

"I'll trouble you, then." Wen Ping nodded.

Whether to use it or not, Wen Ping didn't want to consider it now.

Completing the task was of utmost importance.

While completing the task, to find his father, that would be perfection for this journey.

...

Mountain and Sea City.

After several busy days, Yan Zheng finally managed to relax, sitting leisurely in his study with a cup of tea in hand. The reconstruction plan for Iron Mountain Pavilion had already begun, within three years, the grandeur of its Four-star Influence could be witnessed again. To him, the affairs of Iron Mountain Pavilion were concluded.

He made his report to his superiors.

He also dealt with Iron Mountain Pavilion and Mountain and Sea City.

Next, whatever Iron Mountain Pavilion needed, someone below in the Alliance would assist.

No more need for him to rush around busily.

"It seems there's no need for me to check the origins of the Immortal Sect either." Holding a letter in hand, he read Jin Rong's letter of assistance, "Jin Rong, not willing to mention the Immortal Sect's affairs. Would saying it out loud matter? Could it be the Immortal Sect's 'ship' would dare to come again..."

He stopped mid-sentence!

They dared to kill the two elders of the Iron Mountain Pavilion's Law Enforcement Hall on Ascending Dragon Day.

Dared to flatten the Iron Mountain Pavilion's Main Hall before leaving.

Returning to Mountain and Sea City for some retaliatory actions seemed not out of what they dared.

"This guy is afraid of both sides!"

"Certainly, I must make a trip to Qi Bing Academy, can't let Iron Mountain Pavilion do something outrageous."

After all, both Iron Mountain Pavilion and Qi Bing Academy were forces within the Alliance.

Though Qi Bing Academy was much weaker than Iron Mountain Pavilion, not only the Human Race existed in this world, and relying solely on Four-star Influence to support the Alliance wasn't enough to deter all demons. From this perspective, Qi Bing Academy was also an important force he, as the Hundred Sects Alliance's Chief in Mountain and Sea City, must maintain!

"My lord, these letters were delivered by the subsidiary branch below, they've been here for almost a month, and also...." Just as Yan Zheng was about to stand up, a maid spoke.

But this sentence was interrupted halfway.

"Hmm."

Yan Zheng nodded.

When getting up to leave, he casually picked up the letters on the desk.

That's when a blood-stained letter caught his eye, and Yan Zheng hurriedly pulled it out.

"Essence Blood Book!"

"Why wasn't this given directly to me."

A pair of cold eyes directly fell on the maid.

"I am sorry, my lord."

Even though Yan Zheng always said "just leave it there" and never looked at it, offering no chance for her to speak, the maid could only apologize.

Big personalities are hard to serve.

She had to be cautious; even if it wasn't her fault, she had to bear the responsibility.

"If this happens again, you'll no longer follow me." After scolding, Yan Zheng hurriedly tore open the envelope.

Essence Blood Book!

There must have been a major incident at the subsidiary branch below.

When the letter was spread open.

Each word flashed before his eyes, making his expression increasingly solemn.

The entire room seemed to solidify.

Unknowingly, it became a few degrees colder, and the maid dared not breathe loudly—even though she was a Divine Profound Upper Realm powerhouse.

"Recklessly bold!"

"Recklessly bold!"

"Recklessly bold!"

After three consecutive shouts of anger, the Essence Blood Book was immediately crumpled into a ball in his hand.

"An East Lake force, not part of the Alliance, obliterates our Alliance's force and even kills our Bright Mirror Lake's Alliance Chief! Immortal Sect... How dare you, Immortal..."

He stopped again here.

Immortal Sect, these three words were too familiar.

"It's definitely no coincidence." Muttering, he slowly unfolded and smoothed out the crumpled blood book.

The letter described:

The Sect Leader looked very young.

Dressed in white.

Always accompanied by a yellow dog.

His own strength was unfathomable.

Most notably, when he went to destroy Mitian Sect, that purple light sphere appeared again.

The explosion of the light sphere occurred three times, flattening Mitian Island!

"It must be them!"

"It's definitely them!"
