The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

However, just as the two were locked in a tense standoff and were about to make a move, Mu Qingfeng stepped forward:

"Alright, alright, everyone, stop arguing here. Putting everything else aside, just look at how vast this immortal mine is—it'll give us plenty of room to find it!"

Furthermore, this place was created by the Space Immortal Venerable himself. Once we step into it, our immortal senses will become completely ineffective, and we will be unable to use them at long distances. Therefore, it is impossible to use our immortal senses to scan a wide area.

The most urgent task right now is to carefully consider what method we should use to find them once we're inside!

After saying that, Mu Qingfeng crossed his arms and looked displeased.

He was clearly quite annoyed by the fact that everyone was arguing before they even went inside.

However, what bothered him the most was that his revered master, whom he held in high esteem, had issued such an incomprehensible order, requiring him to find a man who had inexplicably ascended from nowhere!

This is absolutely absurd!

Not only that, but even more outrageous, his master also stipulated that he must find this man before all the other people who wanted to kill him, and do everything he could to protect him!

The thought of this fueled his burning jealousy.

He couldn't understand why his master valued this strange man so much. Could it be that this suddenly appearing fellow was even more outstanding than himself? Or was there something between his master and this man...?

No, absolutely not! He would never allow anyone to take away his place and attention in his master's heart! This was something that absolutely could not be allowed!

Chen Xuan, right? Once I find you, I will definitely take good care of you.

With a mediator in place, Yan Nishang and Leng Ruoyun each took a step back and returned to their respective camps.

Before long, the subordinates summoned by the Celestial Kings entered the Celestial Mine together.

"Everyone, please hear me out first. I came from this immortal mine, so I know very well that with just a few hundred of us, it's definitely not enough to search for people here. Therefore, I suggest that we each divide up an area and search separately, what do you think?"

As soon as they entered, Mu Qingfeng offered his advice.

He only wanted Chen Xuan dead, so he wanted everyone to find him as quickly as possible to save time.

“What you said makes sense. If we split up and search, we will be much more efficient. I agree with your suggestion!” Someone raised their hand.

"Hmph, your suggestion is basically asking us to see who has better luck! That's very bad news for me, and I don't agree!" Yan Nishang said.

“That’s right, I disagree too. Let’s find Chen Xuan here and see who has the best skills!” Leng Ruoyun also spoke up.

Her strength was also quite remarkable. Although she couldn't compare to the smelly woman in front of her, she was ranked second among the others. Therefore, she naturally couldn't rely on her luck to obtain this "flesh and blood opportunity".

"Please wait a moment, gentlemen, and let me finish speaking, shall we?"

Seeing that the two biggest troublemakers disagreed, Mu Qingfeng was a little overwhelmed, but this was within his expectations.

"Here's the thing, after we each divide up our territory, we'll rely entirely on our own strength to find people. If someone is strong enough, they can naturally go to other people's territories to search after they've finished searching their own area. This way, it won't affect anyone, how about that?"

Upon hearing Mu Qingfeng's words, everyone remained silent for a moment before expressing their agreement.

"Fellow Daoist Mu Qingfeng is absolutely right. I agree with your suggestion!"

"Fellow Daoist Mu Qingfeng's consideration is very thoughtful, and I agree with it!"

"Then it's settled. Each of us will be assigned a district, and we'll find the jobs based on our own abilities!"

"Okay, we agree too!"

As more and more people voiced their opinions, the proposal quickly gained widespread acceptance.

"Alright, since that's the case, let's choose a region! Since I personally ascended from here, I will choose the region where I ascended. If you disagree, just give me a nearby region."

"Hey, what are you saying, Fellow Daoist Mu? It's just an area. Go if you want. Everyone's search depends entirely on luck!"

“Yes, yes, since Fellow Daoist Mu has made his choice, I will also choose any area at random.”

Since it was all a random choice anyway, everyone picked a place that looked good and then left.

Lady Chiyan and Leng Ruoyun each chose a central area and then left.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Mu Qingfeng's eyes as he watched the departing crowd.

"Chen Xuan, is it? I don't care who you are, as long as you've gained my master's attention, you must die!"

"Speaking of which, quite a bit of time has passed since I ascended here. I wonder if there are any old acquaintances here. If there are, I can lend them a hand and ask my mother how she is doing."

As Mu Qingfeng spoke, his figure vanished from the spot.

……

One day flies by in a blink of an eye.

"Ah, what a tiring day. Alright, you lazybones, it's time for us to go home."

After waking up from his cultivation, Chen Xuan patted Zheng Yaqin.

"I...I won't go back today. I'll just...rest in this little stone house. Anyway, there's no room for me at home, and I'll be with you over there..."

"Anyway... I'm not going back. You go and keep your two older sisters company today. I'm not playing with you anymore!" Zheng Yaqin refused.

"Alright, alright. Jinglan is in seclusion now, so it's just Lin Yaoyao. You should learn from your sister Yaoyao and become an unknown powerhouse!"

"Get lost! I heard from Sister Yao Yao that she only allowed you to come to me because she's no match for you. Stop giving me that pep talk!"

"Oh dear, you actually saw through me! My wife is really clever!"

"I...I'm not your wife, I'm already..."

"If I say yes, then you are."

"Hate……"

……

Soon, Chen Xuan returned home, where Lin Yaoyao was waiting in the living room with a serious expression.

"What's wrong? Who made you angry today?"

Chen Xuan walked to Lin Yaoyao's side, sat down, and asked.

"Don't you know? The higher-ups have given all the management here an order to find a man named Chen Xuan and, once found, to immediately send him to the core area to report for duty!"

"Looking for me? What do you want?" Chen Xuan pointed to himself in confusion.

"Well, it might not necessarily be you they're looking for. There are countless people named Chen Xuan in this area alone. They might not be talking about you, but..."

Lin Yaoyao looked at Chen Xuan with a face full of resentment and apology.
