How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Hei Yang spoke frankly: "Your sect elders have come again, trying to capture my daughter and me and take us up the mountain. What do you think?"

"Little Fire, don't go back to Five Elements Mountain!"

"How can you say 'capture'!"

Elder Huo Le looked at Xiao Li in the screen: "Here's what happened, chattering away... How about that, it's dangerous, isn't it!"

"Oh, that's it."

Hongli nodded and waved her hand indifferently: "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry about them, Heiyang knows what he's doing."

"uh-huh."

Hei Yang shrugged: "Three votes to one, what do you say?"

"Your family... sigh."

Elder Huo Le sighed helplessly, looked at Hong Li, and changed the subject: "Little Li, are you almost there?"

"Ah, it should arrive tomorrow."

Hongli shaded her eyes with her hand as she looked ahead. At this moment, they were already surrounded by a vast ocean. "I have to say, this airship is really fast. Why don't you give me one to play with, Elder? Consider it a wedding gift for us!"

"I still have to give a gift?!"

"You are an elder."

"Ahem, let's not talk about that now, let's not talk about that now..."

Elder Huo Le revealed a serious expression and changed the subject again: "Xiao Li, now that you're already there, I won't try to persuade you anymore."

However, I must tell you that my contact with my senior brothers and the others was lost after only ten days.

My guess is that the already unstable communication array was isolated by some kind of barrier.

So, the current situation is that we have no real-time information about the ruins, and if you continue forward, you might lose contact with us.

"Such words..."

Hei Yang revealed his dead fish eyes, covering Xiao Huo's bewildered ears with both hands: "There's no need to say this in front of the child, is there? I finally managed to coax him, can't you be a little more understanding of an old father taking care of the child alone at home?"

"Or……"

Hei Yang looked at him suspiciously: "You're just deliberately scaring the child to achieve your ulterior motives?"

Huo Le: "..."

"Oh, okay, okay..."

Hongli waved her hand dismissively: "No..."

"Paji"

The picture disappeared.

Huo Le and Xiao Huo: "!!!"

[Hongli: Ah, it's nothing serious.]

[Hongli: I hadn't even finished speaking for a minute when my communication was cut off.]

We're already flying at low altitude, but the fog ahead is getting thicker and thicker. I suspect this is some kind of sealing barrier.

[Heiyang: Got it. Good luck, and be careful.]

[Hongli: Hmm.]

After a brief moment of shock, Elder Huo clearly understood what was going on and sighed.

"It seems that Xiao Li is indeed getting closer and closer to that place..."

After a pause, Elder Huo Le gently shook his sleeves, stood up, and sighed, "Since none of you want to come, I'll be leaving now. There are still many things to attend to in the sect."

Hei Yang: "..."

Didn't you just say you didn't have anything to do...?

"Oh, right!"

Elder Huo Le suddenly bent down and whispered ominously, "I heard that around Five Elements City, some residents have witnessed some suspicious ghostly figures, and some even say that they are skeletons."

In short, the rumors are pretty scary, so if you're scared, please remember to tell me!

"Oh."

Hei Yang revealed his dead fish eyes: "Please stop scaring children, Elder."

"Ah."

Little Fire gave a deadpan look: "Even Little Fire wouldn't be scared by such words."

"Oh, I was telling the truth, but my good intentions were completely wasted..."

Elder Huo Le snorted and turned to leave: "If you don't want to, then forget it. I'm leaving now. Are you satisfied?"

"Oh, that..."

Hei Yang suddenly spoke up: "I have some walnuts here that I can't finish. Why don't you take some with you before you leave?"

"Um?!"

Huo Le paused, turned around and looked at Hei Yang: "Well, since it's your kind intention, I certainly can't be a downer. Hmm, go inside and get it, I'll wait here."

"What are you waiting for?"

Hei Yang pointed to the walnut tree in the yard: "They're all still hanging on the tree."

Huo Le: "?"

"Then why did you tell me to take it?"

"Why don't you just take them off?"

Hei Yang muttered under his breath, "Hmm, since we're helping out, let's just pick them all for us..."

Huo Le: "..."

As expected of a married couple, goodbye, this wretched little courtyard, I'll never come back again, ha!

"Hey! Take care?"

Hei Yang drawled, "Shall I offer to see you off?"

"Shh-"

Little Fire gestured for her father to be quiet. She lightly jumped, transformed back into her original form, and secretly flew into the sky, gazing into the distance...

"gone?"

"gone!"

"That's good!"

Hei Yang let out a long breath and clapped his hands: "You can come out now."

Four disciples of the Heavenly Calculation Sect, along with two skeletons that were almost detached from their skeletal forms, quietly ran over from the corner, stood in front of Hei Yang, and bowed their heads.

"I'm talking to you guys!"

Hei Yang put one hand on his hip, looked seriously at the six people he had appointed as "Skull-Walking Squad Leaders," and began to reprimand them.

"I told you to be extremely careful and not to get caught, but how long has it been and the news has already reached me?"

Squad leaders: "..."

"Never mind, have you bought what I asked you to buy?"

Hei Yang sighed, took the storage bag handed to him by a disciple of the Suantian Sect, glanced at the pile of floor tiles inside, compared the color and pattern with the floor tiles in the courtyard, and nodded: "Yes, that's right, this is it."

Hei Yang shook his sleeves, and gray mist surged out: "Get to work, get to work, no one resting."

One by one, half-dead people, skin and bones, emerged from the gray fog. Some of them walked into the sunlight, staggered slightly, but were otherwise unharmed.

"Yes, that's good, the progress is good."

Hei Yang nodded in satisfaction: "Very good. Now everyone listen to me. Today's task is to replace all the broken paving stones in the yard with new ones, and finish it before sunset!"

The skeletons: "..."

"Let's get moving!"

The skeletons quickly dispersed, found their respective squad leaders, and began to divide the work.

"Well, that's right."

Hei Yang coughed twice: "Well, I'm not exploiting your labor, Grandma Meng said that the process of restoring your physical body requires activity in the sun. I'm helping you with your treatment, hmm!"

……

"..."

Hong Li frowned as she looked at the sky, watching a flat, ray-like creature slowly drift towards the airship.

"Xiaolong's family...cold wave?"

Hong Li raised her hand, and Han Liu rushed down as if she had fallen, curling up into a small blue ball, motionless.

"She's fainted..."
