"Hmm? What kind of taste is this? A room full of screens, what are they for?" Gu Ling asked with a frown, looking at the room where there was no place to step.

But Ying didn't know how to explain it. The cave heaven inside the Chen Ge pot needed to improve the immortal power of the cave heaven in order to be improved, and in order to improve the immortal power, these screens were needed.

In fact, on another small island, Ying also specially opened up an area and placed dozens of identical stone lions. I wonder what kind of wonderful expression Gu Ling will show when she sees them.

Fortunately, before Gu Ling discovered these, Ying finally felt the changes in the Chen Ge Pot, and the breath from the outside world came, which meant that someone opened the Chen Ge Pot from the outside.

"We're here!" Ying shouted hurriedly. Without even saying goodbye to A Yuan, she teleported everyone out.

As soon as they came outside, Ying found that they were in a remote grove, with walls on both sides, only five meters apart. At this time, the Chen Ge pot was lying flat on the ground, and the lid on it had been opened, but there was no sign of Ye Shiyi.

There was silence and no one around, but there was a vague sound of conversation coming from outside the right wall.

"Master Ye, where did you go just now?"

"Ah, it's just that I haven't been to the city for a long time, and I want to see more of the city's scenery."

"Haha, yes, compared to the gathering place, the city is still much better looking. It's a pity that you have to stay outside the city.

It's just that I'm too busy with things in the city right now, and it's even harder to handle things outside the city. Speaking of which, Tianya Island has recently issued a wanted notice for three demon cultivators. Have you heard any news from there?"

"...I just hope they don't come after me."

"Haha, you're joking. If they had found you, I'm afraid we wouldn't have to do anything. It's a pity that this would mean we'd lose the chance to come into contact with the monks from Tianya Island."

The sound became increasingly vague later on. It seemed that Ye Shiyi and the cultivators from Fengyang City were gradually walking away. Ying and the others immediately took action.

Gu Ling first used her spiritual sense to carefully explore the surrounding environment and found that there were many cultivators walking back and forth around their current location.

Fortunately, these monks' cultivation levels were not high and they were unable to sense Ying and the others' presence. Under the leadership of Gu Ling, they continued to move towards places with fewer people.

Although this place is not big, the roads inside are very complicated. They turned around and around and soon felt lost. Fortunately, the noises around them gradually became smaller, indicating that they were already quite a distance away from those monks.

But they were unable to leave here, which made them feel anxious. When they came to another high wall, Ying finally saw the situation on the other side through the window.

Outside, there were tall buildings one after another, just like the tall buildings Ying had seen in a world with more advanced technology. People were coming and going under those buildings. Although they were quite a distance apart from each other, Ying could feel the noisy and lively atmosphere there just by looking at them.

That must be the inside of Fengyang City!

This sight finally gave them confidence, and their exploration efficiency became higher. Finally, they saw an open gate in a heavily guarded place. Outside the gate, they could see a sturdy bridge, and behind it were various buildings of Fengyang City.

Gu Ling guessed that was the road leading to the city, and she was delighted. She was about to let Ying use her Teyvat sage's super speed to take them directly there, but suddenly she sensed a powerful aura approaching.

She quickly withdrew her spiritual sense and made a gesture to silence Ying and Guiyan. She did not dare to use her magic power to construct a ban to block the spiritual sense detection. She could only hope that the other party would not pay so much attention to using spiritual sense detection because they were in her territory.

After receiving Gu Ling's hint, Ying promptly pulled Gui Yan to hide in the corner. They held their breath, expecting the other party to pass by here as soon as possible.

After a while, the man appeared in Ying's sight. It was none other than Qu Ning, who stopped them at the city gate the day before yesterday.

Behind her were several young disciples from Tianya Island. These people’s magical powers were not that strong and they should not have entered the Earthly Immortal Realm yet.

All they heard was that Qu Ning and the others were in a hurry. Qu Ning asked one of the disciples:

"Is there any news about those people? Why haven't the cultivators in Fengyang City found their whereabouts yet?"

The disciple closest to Qu Ning quickly quickened his pace and stepped forward to respond:

"There was a rumor at Shangjianfang yesterday that someone similar was seen, but at that time..."

The disciple hesitated for a moment when he said this, which made Qu Ning frown and stop immediately.

"Go, go quickly!" Ying's mood became nervous because of the other party's actions, but she could only shout in her heart.

"In that case, why don't you capture them?"

"But at that time, the one who worked for Palace Master Wen was also present. She took the person away. Those people did not dare to continue the search, and only sent the news today."

"Tsk, those guys!" Qu Ning said angrily, then turned around. She was about to raise her leg to move forward, but she pulled it back and asked:

"You were talking about Wen Lan? How did she get involved in this matter?"

Without waiting for the disciple to respond, Qu Ning quickly asked:

"Where's Ye Shiyi? What's his current situation?"

The disciple was startled by Qu Ning's action and said nervously:

"Ye Shiyi has had no problems for more than 20 years. He and Wen Lan have been living on the edge of the gathering place and have never made any mistakes!"

"I mean, where is he now?"

"Today is the time for him to get rid of the evil spirits. He is usually very active. He should have gotten rid of the evil spirits by now and is on his way home."

After listening to the disciple's report, Qu Ning frowned even more tightly. She lowered her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and said to the disciple beside her:

"You, go and call Dong Ye over quickly. I have something important to discuss with him. And you, go back to the city quickly and have all the monks in our sect step up their alert. I have a bad feeling."

After saying that, Qu Ning left without looking back. Ying then breathed a sigh of relief. Even if the remaining two disciples from Tianya Island discovered them, they could leave quickly before they could make a sound.

However, to be on the safe side, Ying and the others waited a little longer, and just happened to hear their next conversation:

"What did Ye Shiyi do wrong in the first place? Why did the people from Tianya Island and Wanxian Pavilion fear him so much that they still don't allow him to enter the city?"

"Who knows? It is said that the Ye family declined because of the immortal blood. Now there are still many demonic immortals who we cannot deal with who are descendants of the Ye family. If it were me, I would also be afraid of him, but from what the elders say, it seems that this matter is not that simple."

"That's right. It's been more than 20 years. Even if he was contaminated with immortal blood before, he should be fine in the past 20 years. Moreover, Ye Shiyi and Palace Master Wen have a child. But Palace Master Wen has never thought about meeting them for so many years."

"That's easy to say. Palace Master Wen still has to guard the magic weapon in the city. Her position cannot be moved. It's just a pity for her child. I saw her once when I went out a few days ago. She is really a beautiful girl."

At this point, the focus of the monks' conversation turned to Wen Lan. They admired Wen Lan's appearance and figure, while lamenting her deformed body. After a while, they left.

Although those words were just unintentional conversations among these disciples, Ying felt an inexplicable worry in his heart after listening to them.

Is that Ye Shiyi hiding some secret?
