The grass in the factory should be plucked

Taixu clicked his tongue: "You two can pour out your hearts to each other later. Shouldn't we first find out what kind of domain this is? And who exactly did this?"

Jiang Li nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Taixu is right!"

Xie Chang'an glanced at his sword spirit sideways: "Then why don't you hurry up and go?"

Taixu was stunned for a moment before realizing that the most suitable person to investigate the situation was himself.

He deeply regretted his loose tongue; he had truly shot himself in the foot!

Taixu said resentfully, "I knew it! I had no place in this house anymore! I'm leaving!"

Jiang Li couldn't help but burst out laughing.

No one would have imagined that the aloof and cold True Lord Chonghua would have such a cheeky sword spirit.

She was a little embarrassed: "Taixu, thank you for your hard work."

Taixu smiled broadly: "It's no trouble at all. We're family, no need to be so polite."

After saying that, it shot out again, tearing through the void.

Xie Chang'an held Jiang Li's soft and smooth little hand, reluctant to let go, so he pulled her and said, "Come on, let's go take a look at the edge of the barrier."

The two walked hand in hand along a path studded with pearls, through a rockery made of colorful coral, toward the Dragon Palace barrier.

Jiang Li pressed herself against the barrier and looked out.

She entered the Dragon Palace from the bedroom in the main courtyard. Although others could not see her, the small space of the Dragon Palace was actually located in the bedroom at that moment.

Only when Egg wakes up can it teleport to the Dragon Palace at will.

Therefore, when Jiang Li pressed herself against the Dragon Palace's barrier and looked out, she could only see the bedroom and, at most, the courtyard through the window.

At this moment, everything in the bedroom was as usual, and the dragon and phoenix red candles were still burning quietly.

Xie Chang'an released his divine sense, which silently extended outwards.

The main courtyard was shrouded in a thick white fog, and his divine sense, hidden within the fog, searched inch by inch.

After a while, he withdrew his divine sense.

Jiang Li asked curiously, "Brother Chang'an, have you noticed anything?"

Xie Chang'an shook his head: "It's all white, nothing but fog, we didn't find anything."

However, he also roughly measured the size of this "domain," which was not very large, about a hundred feet square.

He didn't know what its attribute was, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

Within his own domain, the domain lord is like the Heavenly Dao; once trapped in someone else's domain, he can only be manipulated and molded at will.

He cannot make a move until Taixu returns.

After a while, with a "pop" sound, Taixu tore open a small piece of the void, broke through the Dragon Palace barrier, and appeared in front of them.

Jiang Li exclaimed joyfully, "Taixu, you're back!"

Xie Chang'an asked, "How is it? What did you find?"

Taixu looked puzzled: "Guess what I saw?"

"A shadow! A very, very small shadow! Not much bigger than a grain of rice!"

After leaving this "domain" through the void, he used his connection with Xie Chang'an to track its location.

I searched for ages but couldn't find anything!

Finally, after a thorough, ploughing search, he spotted a rapidly moving shadow.

If it weren't for sensing Xie Chang'an inside, one would probably think it was just a mosquito that happened to fly by.

Xie Chang'an frowned: "What did that shadow look like? Did you see it clearly?"

Taixu said, "It looks like an ant, with two pairs of dark wings on its back."

Jiang Li exclaimed, "Shadow Sting?"

Xie Chang'an asked in surprise, "Shadow Sting? Is it an insect demon?"

Jiang Li nodded: "Yes, Shadowstalkers are also insectoids, even rarer than Soul-Stealing Insects! These insectoid demons are not strong in combat. Their strength lies in stealth and crossing barriers. They can ignore restrictions and barriers and silently sneak into other people's caves to steal."

Xie Chang'an's face darkened. This Shadow Serpent had sneaked into his cave and stolen his bride along with their bridal chamber.

Taixu was furious. How dare a mere insect demon openly snatch people right under his nose!

What can be tolerated by scholars?

"I'm going to kill him!" Taixu said menacingly.

"No!" Xie Chang'an said in a deep voice, "Don't forget, we are still within his domain."

They can control their lives and deaths with a single thought!

The most urgent task is to figure out the strengths and weaknesses of the Shadow Zerg.

Jiang Li continued, "The most amazing thing about Shadow Sparrow is its mimicry ability. It can imitate ordinary objects. For example, the tassels on a jade pendant, the ash from a pill furnace, or even a wisp of dark shadow that can stick to the ground or wall and blend into the environment."

"Even if a high-level cultivator's divine sense swept over it, it would only be regarded as an insignificant piece of trash."

Xie Chang'an was horrified.

No wonder even he and Taixu didn't notice this Shadow Sting!

But Cold Jade Peak soars into the clouds, and sword energy shrouds the entire mountain. Not to mention flying insects, even a speck of dust cannot fly into the crisscrossing sword energy.

How could this insect demon sneak into Cold Jade Peak and infiltrate the cave without alerting him and Taixu?

Jiang Li said, "Besides you and Taixu, there must be other people who can come in, such as the steward disciples."

Xie Chang'an nodded: "Yes, if he holds the Cold Jade Peak token, the sword energy will not attack him."

After all, Han Yufeng and his cave dwelling still need someone to manage the miscellaneous affairs.

Taixu's face darkened. "So, there's a traitor among us?"

Jiang Li scratched his head: "That's not necessarily true. The Shadow Serpent's body can shrink to the size of a mustard seed, squeezing into cracks in rocks, between pages of books, or between gaps in magical artifacts. It can even attach itself to a cultivator's clothes or hair, entering and leaving the cave unnoticed."

Xie Chang'an remained silent in thought. The sect held a Nascent Soul Ceremony and a Ceremony for him, and there were more disciples entering and leaving Hanyu Peak than ever before. He wondered who Yingzhe had come in with.

He then asked, "What about the Shadow's 'domain'? What is its attribute, and what are its characteristics?"

Jiang Li shook her head: "Shadow Specters are extremely rare. I have only seen scattered records of them in the sect's books. I have never heard of Shadow Specters having a 'domain'."

They had no idea about the attributes and characteristics of this "domain".

"Tai Xu, can you tell what realm he is?" Xie Chang'an asked again.

Taixu shook his head: "I can't tell."

Jiang Li said, "Ying Zhe is extremely good at concealing his aura, so it's normal that we can't tell his cultivation level."

If Taixu hadn't been able to sense Xie Chang'an, he might not have been able to discover this Shadow Serpent.

But the fact that it can cultivate a "domain" means that this Shadow Serpent's cultivation level is definitely not low, and it may even be a Nascent Soul stage demon!

"Did he fly towards the Chaos Mountains?"

Taixu nodded: "That's roughly the direction."

"Demon Emperor!"

Xie Chang'an and Jiang Li said in unison.

The fact that Jiang Li was kidnapped with such a clear purpose suggests that it was undoubtedly the work of the Demon Emperor.

They appeared in the "domain," and there was an immovable dragon palace. They were hesitant to act rashly and could not destroy the "domain" from the inside, so they could only send Ziyang Sword Master over.

Xie Chang'an then handed the pile of jade talismans that Mingxuan Zhenjun had given him to Jiang Li, saying, "These are from your master. He told you not to be afraid, as he will arrive soon."

Jiang Li beamed with joy: "My master is almost here?"

Xie Chang'an said, "I will send a message to my master right away. They will be here soon."

As long as the Purple Sun Sword Master arrives, with his divine power of "breaking through ten thousand domains with one sword", what domain can't he break through?
