A great emperor master every day—the good-for-nothing young master is having a blast!

The group exchanged glances but didn't say a word.

They all focused their attention on this bright, open space, gathering clues about the presence of a King-level expert so they could return and report back.

There was no conflict, nor was there any intention to disturb the other party.

The dozen or so experts at the Sun Wheel Realm are all from forces that are among the top in the Lingyuan Mountain Range.

They are all currently appearing in the Deepest Forest, having been instructed to investigate.

With a very clear objective, the dozen or so people diligently collected clues about the location.

Even though there were some minor conflicts with the other party, they did not erupt in this scene, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

However, the presence of people from opposing forces here is enough to prove the existence of a powerful King-level expert who inexplicably appeared in the Netherworld Forest.

It has no relation to the five king-level forces, nor to non-king-level forces like the Xuan Yun Holy Land.

This situation suggests that the mysterious person most likely came from outside the Lingyuan Mountains.

Mu Xin and Yao Yu wisely kept quiet, silently collected evidence, and then hurriedly left the scene.

Avoid unnecessary conflicts with others, in case a dispute arises.

None of the five king-level forces in Lingyuan can be offended by the Xuanyun Holy Land.

If their master, Ancestor Xuanyun, had not perished in that battle, they might still have had a fighting chance.

But that won't work now. Xuan Yun Dao Ren, the top combatant of Xuan Yun Holy Land, has yet to break through to the King Realm.

After learning about the situation in the Zhiyou Great Forest, Mu Xin and Yao Yu quickly left and headed towards the Xuanyun Holy Land.

Until they completely leave this territory and are out of the sight of the five king-level forces.

Only then did the two dare to speak freely.

Mu Xin said with a solemn expression, "I didn't expect that it wasn't just the two of us who came to investigate the Zhiyou Great Forest. Those five king-level forces also sent people here."

Yao Yu continued, "It seems they really have nothing to do with them, otherwise we wouldn't have met them."

Two figures could be seen riding on sun wheels, flashing back and forth in the sky above the most secluded forest.

Not long after, they returned to the Xuanyun Holy Land. Without the slightest slackening, they headed straight for the summit of Xuanyun Mountain where Xuanyun Daoist was located.

Sensing two familiar auras rapidly approaching, Daoist Xuanyun calmly sat in place, quietly waiting for his two junior brothers to appear before him.

The sound of steady, slow footsteps gradually approached, and Mu Xin and Yao Yu stood respectfully before Xuan Yun Daoist.

Master Xuanyun said softly, "You're back."

The two replied in unison, "We're back, Senior Brother."

Xuan Yun Daoist nodded slightly and inquired about the appearance of an unfamiliar King Realm expert in the Zhiyou Great Forest.

"Well, have you found any clues?"

After exchanging a glance, Mu Xin and Yao Yu decided who would answer their senior brother's question.

Mushin paused for a moment, organizing his thoughts.

The reply was: "In the most secluded forest, a huge light has appeared, a rare occurrence."

"According to our observation, the large branches and leaves above have obviously been attacked, creating huge gaps that allow sunlight to shine on the ground."

"Several cracks on the ground still retain some lingering black mist."

At this point, Muxin opened his right hand, and a ball of source energy wrapped in black mist slowly rose.

This was the most important discovery they made on their journey to the Deep Dark Forest.

Upon seeing this, Xuan Yun Daoist's eyes narrowed, and he stared intently at the black mist.

With a slight lift of his hand, he drew the black mist from Muxin's grasp and examined it closely, trying to find a trace of an old friend's presence.

Inside this dark room, Xuan Yun Daoist could indeed feel the lingering power of a King Realm expert.

He is even significantly stronger than the King-level experts of the five major King-level forces.

But what he could never have imagined was that the one unleashing power comparable to that of a King Realm expert was not a true King Realm Origin Master.

Rather, it was the power generated by the Seven Netherworld Killing Array, a mid-level inscription source array set up by Emperor Qianyun of the Crimson Sky Continent.

The seven Netherworld beings within the Source Array merged together, becoming stronger than a King Realm cultivator despite not being one.

Xuan Yun Daoist continued to ask, "Didn't you two see that King Realm figure?"

Muxin and Yao Yu both shook their heads in denial.

Yao Yu calmly said, "Senior Brother, although Senior Brother Mu and I did not see any King-level figures, we did see the figures of King-level forces."

Xuan Yun Daoist was somewhat surprised to hear this, and then looked at Yao Yu.

"Oh? The presence of a King-level force? Which King-level force?"

"Is it the Azure Soul Temple or the Brahma Flame Palace?"

Yao Yu smiled slightly, "They all have them. Without exception, all the people from the five king-level forces have appeared in the Netherworld Forest."

This answer surprised Xuan Yun Daoist even more, as his Xuan Yun Holy Land was not far from the Zhiyou Great Forest.

In addition, his cultivation level has not broken through to the King Realm; he is only a half-step King Realm cultivator.

It's perfectly normal to be worried about this suddenly appearing unfamiliar King Realm expert.

To his surprise, the five king-level forces had the exact same idea as him.

Sending someone to the Deepest Forest to investigate is clearly a sign of concern that something unexpected might happen.

It seems that even a king-level force with a King Realm expert in charge is worried that the mysterious powerhouse might be a threat to them.

However, upon closer reflection, as long as the Xuan Yun Holy Land remains safe and sound...

He has no connection with the other forces in the Lingyuan Mountains.

The fact that people from the five major forces appeared in the Netherworld Forest indicates that the mysterious King Realm that appeared has nothing to do with them.

It was a sudden variable that appeared without anyone knowing the outcome.

Master Xuanyun asked again, "Is there anything else you'd like to say?"

Mu Xin thought for a moment, then said, "Senior Brother, although I can't guess the motive behind that King Realm being's appearance in the Netherworld Forest."

"But it's clear that his target isn't the Xuan Yun Holy Land, otherwise we would be the first sect to suffer."

Xuan Yun Daoist's tense mood gradually relaxed.

“Junior Brother Mu is right. As long as it does not pose a threat to my Xuan Yun Holy Land.”

"Once I break through to the King Realm, I won't have to live in fear like I do now."

At this point, a glimmer of fighting spirit flashed in Xuan Yun Dao Ren's eyes, but it was quickly overshadowed by endless desolation.

"My two junior brothers have gone to great lengths this time. Please take your leave now."

Mu Xin and Yao Yu clasped their hands together and bowed slightly, saying, "Senior Brother, we'll take our leave now!"

Two figures flashed and disappeared completely from the summit of Xuanyun Mountain.

After the two left, Xuan Yun Daoist carefully examined the black mist in his hand, feeling the aura within it, which brought him an extremely strong sense of oppression.

He prayed in his heart that the master of the black mist would not appear in the Xuan Yun Holy Land.

If the visitor is hostile, he is not strong enough to protect the Xuan Yun Holy Land.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will remain at the half-step King Realm for the rest of his life.

The injuries he sustained back then were too severe, and Yuan Hai suffered great damage. Even after many years of recuperation, he still could not fully recover.

It's not entirely impossible to recover; at least a sixth-grade pill will be needed.

In this vast Lingyuan Mountain Range, not even a fifth-grade alchemist can be found, let alone a sixth-grade alchemist.
