"No need!" Shen Tianjun waved his hand decisively and said, "To rescue these two people, there's no need to go to Tai Island with such trouble. Besides, even if you go to Tai Island, you might not be able to meet Heavenly Master Lin Xuan Yue; he's probably too busy to pay attention to this matter right now!"

"Oh?" Ye Qing was taken aback, puzzled, "Then if we don't look for him, how do we rescue Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi? Senior Shen, they are trapped inside the Devouring Demon Flower, the food and water they have with them will at most last half a month. If we can't rescue them within half a month, they're doomed!"

Shen Tianjun laughed, "It's simple to rescue Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi; just find Master Nai Kun!"

"Find him?" Ye Qing was even more astonished, puzzled, "How can finding him rescue Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi?"

"Heh heh..." Shen Tianjun chuckled and said, "Corpse Ghost Dragon is also inside the Devouring Demon Flower. He's in the exact same situation as Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi. And now, Master Nai Kun is trying every possible way to release Corpse Ghost Dragon. This means Master Nai Kun must know how to open the Devouring Demon Flower, otherwise, how would he release Corpse Ghost Dragon?"

Hearing this, Ye Qing's eyes immediately lit up with joy, "Right, how could I not think of that? Just find Master Nai Kun and force him to reveal the method to open the Devouring Demon Flower, and that's it!"

"That's why I said, you don't need to rush to Tai Island!" Shen Tianjun smiled and said, "Lin Xuan Yue is currently busy dealing with the Heaven Earth Man Tri-Map issue, he literally has no time for these matters in Huaxia. Otherwise, how could Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi be trapped in Beimang Mountain?"

"Heaven Earth Man Tri-Map?" Ye Qing asked curiously, "What's up with the Tri-Map?"

"The Heaven Earth Man Tri-Map has already started moving, which means the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates are approaching their opening!" Shen Tianjun said, "According to previous experiences, from the movement of the Three Maps to the opening of the Three Gates, it will take no more than a year. At the very least, it could be as short as a month!"

Shen Tianjun paused momentarily before looking at Ye Qing, saying solemnly, "Which means, from now until the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates open, or perhaps there is only one month left!"

"One month!" Ye Qing was shocked and said, "Wouldn't the opening of the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates conflict with the happenings at Medicine King Mountain?"

"No one can say for sure, or maybe, this time the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates won't open so quickly." Shen Tianjun sighed softly and said, "After all, this era is much more chaotic than previous ones. Not to mention others, just look at Corpse Ghost Dragon; in the last era, he clearly could have tried to seize the chance of the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates, but he didn't, instead feigning death and waiting these thirty years for this opening of the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates. He's willing to take such a big risk, suggesting that this time, there must be something incredibly enticing about the opening of the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates that makes him willing to take this risk!"

Ye Qing felt a surge of anxiety inside; he clearly knew that Corpse Ghost Dragon had waited so long, precisely to seek the secret technique of Taoist longevity. Could it be that this time, with the opening of the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates, this secret will emerge? If this secret appears, the world might indeed plunge into chaos. Could it be that 'Killer Breaker Wolf' foretold this very chaos?

"Alright, it's getting late, let's not waste time!" Shen Tianjun said, "Ye Qing, you rest for a while, in the afternoon we'll go find Master Nai Kun."

"Alright then!" Ye Qing nodded; he had been running around Beimang Mountain for three days and three nights without sleep. At this point, he really was exhausted and did need a good rest.

At the same time, at the headquarters of the Twelve Green Halls of Tai Island, a middle-aged man hurriedly walked into the garden behind the headquarters.

The garden was large, with many artificial hills and real trees. If an ordinary person didn't know the way, they might easily get lost in here.

This middle-aged man was very familiar with the layout, navigating through the artificial hills with a few turns, and finally entering a cave surrounded by the hills. The middle-aged man smoothly walked to the west stone wall of this cave and tapped several raised points on the wall in succession. With a soft sound, the stone wall slowly opened, revealing an entrance!

Who would have thought there would be such a mechanism hidden inside the artificial hill? Moreover, there were many raised points on this stone wall, but the man only tapped a few of them, and even just remembering these few specific spots would be difficult. If it were an ordinary person, even knowing there was a hidden mechanism here, it would be extremely difficult to open it and go inside.

The middle-aged man entered the stone chamber, closing the entrance behind him, and then followed the stone corridor downwards, walking for about ten minutes before turning into a stone cave.

This stone cave had rugged stone walls, showing no signs of being carved, indicating it was a natural cave rather than man-made. It seemed this stone cave had existed earlier, and only the entrance was later added.

Several lights were set up inside the stone cave, allowing the middle-aged man to clearly see the specific situation inside the cave.

In the middle of the stone cave, there was a raised stone platform. The stone platform was only three feet wide, looking rather like a stone table from afar. On top of the stone platform were three pieces of what looked like silk or ribbon.

Standing beside the stone platform was none other than Heavenly Master Lin Xuan Yue. He seemed unaware of anyone approaching, staring intently at the three pieces of silk on the stone platform, lost in thought.

The middle-aged man, seeing Lin Xuan Yue, showed obvious respect in his eyes. He reverently walked to stand beside Lin Xuan Yue, observing his master's unwavering gaze on the three pieces of silk without daring to disturb him, not even daring to breathe loudly.

It was unknown whether Lin Xuan Yue noticed the middle-aged man, but he kept his head down, staring at the three pieces of silk. Only after more than an hour did he finally raise his head and sigh lightly.

The middle-aged man had been waiting cautiously all along. Seeing Lin Xuan Yue raise his head, he immediately stepped forward and said softly, "Master, you called for me?"

It turned out this middle-aged man was Lin Xuan Yue's disciple, which explained his utmost respect toward him.

Lin Xuan Yue nodded slowly, looking at the middle-aged man, he asked, "Where is Ning Qianshu now?"

The middle-aged man replied, "He has already entered Huaxia and has been visiting friends over the past few days. It seems he is confident about the Medicine King Mountain affair. Master, Ning Qianshu has accumulated resources for so many years precisely for this event. I think, there shouldn't be any issues."

Lin Xuan Yue furrowed his brows slightly and said, "Sometimes, the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Ning Qianshu has been preparing for years, but Bai Li Xi hasn't been idle either. He's a bit too confident about the Medicine King Mountain contest!"

The middle-aged man was momentarily stunned, carefully pondering Lin Xuan Yue's words, and asked in a low voice, "Master, do you mean that Ning Qianshu will lose this Medicine King Mountain contest?"

Lin Xuan Yue shook his head, "The outcome of the Medicine King Mountain contest is uncertain. However, whether Ning Qianshu wins or loses is no longer the most critical issue."

"Then... what is the most critical issue?" the middle-aged man asked in surprise. He was well aware of how much effort Lin Xuan Yue had put into assisting Ning Qianshu to inherit Divine Doctor An Shiping's legacy. And now, Lin Xuan Yue actually said this matter wasn't crucial? If this isn't crucial, then what is?

Lin Xuan Yue turned and walked away from the stone platform, clasping his hands behind his back, he said in a deep voice, "The key issue is whether he can rescue Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi before the Medicine King Mountain opens."

The middle-aged man's expression changed dramatically as he exclaimed, "What happened to the two protectors?"

"Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi are now trapped in Beimang Mountain!" Lin Xuan Yue replied.

"How did they get trapped in Beimang Mountain?" the middle-aged man asked in astonishment.

"Ah!" Lin Xuan Yue sighed and said, "This matter was orchestrated by those Southeast Asian Sorcerers. Over the past few days, I've been engaged with the Heaven Earth Man Tri-Map affairs, having no time to tend to their side of things. I never expected Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi to be led into a trap by Master Nai Kun. Now, the priority is to rescue them both. Otherwise, even if Ning Qianshu goes to Medicine King Mountain, no one can assist him. In fact, if Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi can't leave Beimang Mountain, we might lose the battle against the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance in the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates event!"

These words immediately startled the middle-aged man, and with urgency, he said, "Master, I'll dispatch people right away to rescue the Left and Right Protectors from Beimang Mountain!"

"No way!" Lin Xuan Yue firmly refused, looking at the middle-aged man and said solemnly, "You have no idea of the situation inside Beimang Mountain; you can't just send a few people in there to rescue them."

"Then I'll find a group of experts!" the middle-aged man responded.

"It's not about experts or not..." Lin Xuan Yue said in a deep voice, "To rescue them, a special method must be used."

"What method?" the middle-aged man asked curiously.

Lin Xuan Yue smiled gently and slowly explained his method to the middle-aged man.

After listening to Lin Xuan Yue's words, the middle-aged man was even more amazed and asked, "Master, will Ye Qing really go to rescue them?"

"Rest assured, he definitely will!" Lin Xuan Yue said softly, "Not rescuing people isn't in his character!"

Seeing Lin Xuan Yue so assured, the middle-aged man no longer had any doubts. He nodded slowly and said, "Master, I'll notify Ning Qianshu right away, and let him handle this matter. Rest assured, Ning Qianshu also takes this matter very seriously; if he learns that the Left and Right Protectors are trapped in Beimang Mountain, he will definitely exert all efforts to rescue them!"

"Wait a moment!" Lin Xuan Yue called to the middle-aged man, paused for a moment, and then said solemnly, "Tell Ning Qianshu, it would be best to kill Master Nai Kun."
