Just as Yuan Ming concealed himself, five grand tunneling lights whistled over, stopping on the deserted island. They were five Returning to Void cultivators, one of whom was, surprisingly, Yin Lang.

"Yin Lang... How did he come here? Judging from the appearance and cultivation of these five people, could they be the five Returning to Void cultivators from Wuya Island?" Yuan Ming thought to himself.

Yuan Ming's guess was correct; the visitors were indeed the Island Master of Wuya Island, Ye Wuya, and his four Returning to Void Deputy Island Masters.

"Strange, this island is already the last of the three islands given by Qingjin Building, yet there are still no signs of Yuan Ming's presence. Yin Lang, your spirit beast didn't make a mistake, right? Did you truly detect Yuan Ming's aura earlier?" Ye Wuya looked around a few times before turning to Yin Lang.

"Reporting to the Island Master, my Seven-Colored Parrot excels at detecting auras; it definitely won't make a mistake." Yin Lang hurriedly said.

"It really is the people from Wuya Island, and they already know my real name! Damn Qingjin Building, actually selling me out! Luckily, I decided to leave right away; otherwise, I might be in some trouble if blocked!" Yuan Ming thought to himself.

"There's no sign of anyone here; could Yuan Ming have already escaped? Yin Lang, let your spirit beast take a look, which direction did Yuan Ming head to?" Ye Wuya said.

Yin Lang quickly responded and raised his hand to summon.

The Jinwei parrot flew out from the Spiritual Beast Bag at his waist, its eyes flashing with seven-colored spiritual light, looking around.

"Reporting to the Island Master, there is Yuan Ming's mana fluctuation on the island; judging from the traces, it was just left." The Jinwei parrot quickly said.

"Which direction did Yuan Ming go?" Ye Wuya nodded and asked.

The Jinwei parrot continued to look around with glowing eyes, suddenly uttering a slight exclamation: "There is no sign of Yuan Ming leaving here; it seems he hasn't left yet and is still hiding on the island!"

When Ye Wuya and the others heard this, they were both surprised and delighted; their Divine Sense swept across the deserted island repeatedly but couldn't find Yuan Ming, who had transformed into a stone.

"Let's see how long you can hide!"

Ye Wuya snorted lightly, suddenly raised his hand to form a seal. A spiritual light, resembling green bamboo, gradually illuminated him, and a Wind Roll arose, gently revolving around his body.

Then, Ye Wuya suddenly opened his mouth, emitting a Mihuan sound wave akin to a sea demon's song. The Wind Roll around him promptly surged, sending the sound wave to every corner of the deserted island.

The rock into which Yuan Ming had transformed was also swept by the sound waves; despite his Divine Soul cultivation, a momentary illusion unexpectedly appeared before his eyes.

However, when he used the Transformation Stone Talisman, his Divine Soul was firmly restricted by the talisman's power, without dispersing due to the brief hallucination, revealing his true self.

"Such formidable Wind Spirit Body; if not for the Transformation Stone Talisman's effect, I nearly exposed myself." A surprised Yuan Ming thought after regaining clarity.

Before going to Wuya Island, he had already inquired thoroughly about Ye Wuya's situation.

This person is not an ordinary cultivator; he was born with a rare Wind Bamboo Spirit Body.

It's said that people with this physique possess voices with wind-calling power. With some practice, they can summon the wind at will and call for rain with a sound, though not possessing the power of changing world laws with mere words like the Spoken Witch, it is nonetheless extraordinary.

After Ye Wuya used his divine skills and waited for several breaths, seeing no abnormal situation arise on the island, he frowned: "Impossible, under the attack of Wind Spirit Butterfly Sound, anyone under Dharma manifestation Stage will fall into illusion. Yuan Ming is just at middle-stage Returning Void; even if he's a Soul Cultivator, his Divine Soul power can't reach the Dharma manifestation Level. How could there be no reaction? Did Yin Lang's spirit beast see incorrectly?"

The other four had closed their Six Senses when Ye Wuya used his divine skills, still felt dazed, and only recovered after a while.

"Island Master, what do you think?" Yang Qing asked first.

"There is no anomaly on the island; it seems Yuan Ming is not here." Ye Wuya said slowly.

"How could that be, Yin Lang, didn't your spirit beast say that it hadn't detected any mana traces of Yuan Ming leaving?" Yang Qing looked towards Yin Lang.

"The Seven-Colored Parrot indeed hasn't detected any mana traces of Yuan Ming leaving around the island..." Yin Lang hesitated.

"Is it possible that Yuan Ming has gone into the sea and escaped from the seabed? The sea is unlike land; when casting magic from the seabed, the mana traces are quickly washed away by tides." Xu Changyu said.

"I've heard about this from the Seven-Colored Parrot; it's indeed the case. It seems Yuan Ming has most likely escaped from the seabed." Yin Lang, eager to shirk responsibility, quickly said.

"Looking at the mana traces on the island, he should not have run far. Let's pursue in five groups; there's a high chance we can catch up." Yang Qing said disdainfully, casting a glance at Yin Lang.

"We should not underestimate Yuan Ming; this person was able to put Ouyang Qiang at a disadvantage. If truly matched, he might stand a chance against me. If you encounter him alone, don't take it lightly." Ye Wuya shook his head.

"Island Master, you really overestimate him; intelligence says he's young and has learned so much, but probably wouldn't be proficient in any area. Encountering him alone, although he has many tricks, we wouldn't easily be defeated." Yang Qing seemed unconvinced.

"Alright, alright; being cautious is never wrong, and besides, the opportunities related to him are significant for us. Even if we obtain them, we must consider how to handle Dongji Palace. Losing personnel in capturing him would be a loss." Xu Changyu intervened to mediate.

"What Changyu said is right. Just now, Qingjin Building sent me information on several islands. Go there to search for Yuan Ming. Do not let him escape!" Ye Wuya ordered.

"Yes, so what about here..." Xu Changyu asked.

"Just like before, set up an investigation array here. Perhaps Yuan Ming might still come back." Ye Wuya instructed.

Xu Changyu and the others immediately complied, setting up a reconnaissance array in a hidden corner of the island, then swiftly left with Ye Wuya.

Yuan Ming, watching their entire array setup process from the side, naturally bypassed the array's surveillance and quietly left the deserted island after they departed.

Since Yun Luo Fairy had already been taken away from this place, Yuan Ming did not continue to search for Yun Luo Fairy on other islands. Instead, he found a secluded spot and waited silently for two days. When the time came, he immediately summoned the Stealing Heaven Tripod and lit a stick of Black Incense.

Unfortunately, he discovered that Yun Luo Fairy was currently being transported by the Su Nu Sect on a Flying Boat, sailing over the vast ocean with nothing around to determine location.

Could they be intending to take Yun Luo Fairy back to the Central Continent?

Yuan Ming grew anxious, quickly using his Divine Thought to locate Zi Mei and the others, hoping to gather information from their conversation. However, they remained silently cultivating without any intention to talk, until the possession time expired, and Yuan Ming was unable to gather any information regarding Yun Luo Fairy's whereabouts.

The situation seemed to be getting complicated, but Yuan Ming quickly calmed down, contemplating the reasons for Zi Mei and the others' departure while waiting for the next seven days to arrive. This translation is powered by the readers at *.

Time passed swiftly, and Yuan Ming soon gained another possession opportunity. This time, he did not choose to possess Yun Luo Fairy but instead possessed Zi Mei.

As he opened his eyes, Yuan Ming found Zi Mei and the others still seated silently in the cabin, cultivating—just like during the previous possession. Outside the Flying Boat, there was still the boundless sea, with no islands in sight.

Yuan Ming glanced at the distant cold-eyed woman and the gentle woman, a hint of murder rising in his heart, which he quickly suppressed.

If he were to manipulate Zi Mei to act at this moment, there was a high chance of success. However, once the Black Incense Possession ended, Zi Mei would flee in terror with Yun Luo Fairy, adding uncertainty. It's better to plan slowly and cautiously.

Yuan Ming activated his Divine Sense to probe Zi Mei's Mana, Divine Soul, and the contents of her storage magic tool, and stood up.

The other two immediately sensed it and stopped cultivating.

"Senior Sister Zi Mei, what's wrong?" the cold-eyed woman asked.

"We left in a hurry. If we were spotted on the way, it would be troublesome. We should have made more preparations before setting off." Yuan Ming pretended to sigh.

"There wasn't enough time. Who knows when that person would come? If we stayed on that island any longer, we would definitely be spotted." the cold-eyed woman responded.

Yuan Ming was taken aback by this remark but soon realized that Zi Mei and the others absolutely hadn't discovered that he was searching for Yun Luo; otherwise, they wouldn't be so hurriedly escaping.

Besides, who is the person referred to by the cold-eyed woman's words?

Yuan Ming silently pondered, intending to lead the cold-eyed woman to reveal more information.

"Strange, we were perfectly safe under that deserted island, hardly going out during this time. How could we be discovered? And with a reward at Qingjin Building?" the gentle woman asked ahead.

Yuan Ming was stunned by this statement.

Were these three aware that he was using Qingjin Building to search for news about the Moon Lake deserted island?

Ye Wuya, as the Island Master of Wuya Island, could possibly pressure Qingjin Building to find him. But how did these three women learn of this? Could it be that they have some connection with Qingjin Building?

"Who knows? We've inspected that island countless times with no anomalies. It was just an ordinary deserted island, hence chosen as a temporary base, only to be discovered!" the cold-eyed woman was puzzled.

"Senior Sister Zi, Senior Sister Chen, I just thought through the matter from beginning to end and found it odd. If our hiding place had already been discovered, why didn't that person lead others directly to ambush us, instead placing a reward at Qingjin Building to find our location? It's as if the person knew we were hiding on a Moon Lake deserted island but didn't know the exact position." the gentle woman explained.

"Thinking that way, it indeed seems strange." the cold-eyed woman furrowed her brows.

Yuan Ming felt uneasy. If they continued discussing, the secret of the Black Incense Possession might be exposed.

"This matter isn't hard to explain. It must be Yun Luo's doing. If I'm not mistaken, our whereabouts on the Moon Lake deserted island were secretly leaked by Yun Luo. Perhaps due to the urgency, she only mentioned being on the Moon Lake deserted island but didn't specify the exact location." he spoke.

"It makes sense. Indeed, it's highly possible. Yun Luo's tactics are formidable; even subdued, she managed to send out information, no wonder she snatched the 'Pill King Secret Manual' from Ouyang Qiang and the others. Rest assured, Senior Sister Zi Mei, I'll lay down a few more Forbidden around Yun Luo to completely seal her Mana and Divine Sense!" the cold-eyed woman realized.

The gentle woman also nodded in agreement.
