My best friend asked me if I was still doing system tasks.

Luo Hanying felt like a sleeping Tom cat, her toes on fire but she didn't even realize it. She was sweating profusely with her eyes closed, and she didn't dare to rest at all. She only breathed a sigh of relief when it was dawn, and she was sure that the Wenjian Sect wouldn't kill her on a whim.

Luo Hanying asked wearily in a soft voice, "Cha Cha, are you awake?"

Ruan Chayan rubbed her eyes: "I didn't sleep a wink all night."

Luo Hanying felt a shared pain: "You didn't sleep either! Me too! I didn't dare rest either!"

When Ruan Chayan asked about the reason, Luo Hanying gave a general account of what had happened on her side, and then said: "I have seen Wenren Ya, so the situation of the mission is now very clear. Presumably, the people who can harm Wenren Ya are from Canghai Realm or Taibai Pavilion."

But now I suspect that the Wenjian Sect is not a good people. Could it be that I have to protect Wenren Ya from being harmed by the Wenjian Sect?

Good heavens, tell me, am I right or wrong? This is absolutely terrifying!

After hearing Luo Hanying's words, Ruan Chayan directly inquired about the identity of the String Song Sword Inquiry Sect.

String Song: ["...Didn't I say there were things I couldn't say? Is that what you asked the substitute 7195 when I wasn't there?"]

Ruan Chayan didn't even blink: "Alright, we can conclude that there's something wrong with the Sword Inquiry Sect. Be careful on your own..."

"Um, shall I just come find you? Two people can handle more situations than one."

String Song: "..."

"OK, OK." Luo Hanying said happily, "You're with Demon Lord Huaiwei now, right? Demon Lord Huaiwei must have heard when Junior Uncle contacted you last night, right?"

The Demon Lord Huaiwei is aware of the situation in the Light Ruins Secret Realm. Given his character, he will surely help us.

Hearing Luo Hanying's expectant voice, Ruan Chayan glanced at the sleeping Jinhua cat and said with a wry smile, "Things are a little different from what you imagined."

Luo Hanying exclaimed, "Ah!" ["What do you mean? Doesn't Demon Lord Huaiwei care about our lives? I thought he was very enthusiastic about saving all living beings."]

Ruan Chayan rubbed her temples: "No, it's not that. Qin Fansheng was injured and poisoned, and now she's turned into a real cat."

Ruan Chayan then recounted what had happened on her side.

Luo Hanying revealed an expression that seemed to want to laugh but couldn't, and a sense of sadness rose in her heart as her thoughts shifted: "Then it's over. We not only have to ensure our own safety, but also protect Qin Fansheng, right?"

Will it get better in the future? If it doesn't get better, we can't keep it with us forever. Should we send it back to the demon race?

The Demon Emperor is so pitiful. His wife and daughter have gone missing, and his only nephew is mentally challenged. Tsk tsk tsk.

I feel like crying for him.

"Waaaaah, I'm really going to cry! What am I going to do? I feel like I'm under attack from all sides."

Ruan Chayan comforted Luo Hanying for a moment, then interrupted her melancholy: "There's no time to lose. I'll set off for you right now. Don't mention my existence to the Wenjian Sect."

I might not be able to get to you this morning, but I'll try my best to stay close behind you. We'll meet at the place Ji Daoyun mentioned.

She gently picked up the Jinhua cat. The two tiny kittens, no bigger than her palms, moved their mouths slightly, sensing the familiar scent, and then turned over peacefully in Ruan Chayan's arms and continued to sleep.

Seeing this, Xian Ge chuckled to herself, "Anyone who didn't know better would think this is your kid. It's hilarious."

Ruan Chayan took to the air on her sword and retorted, "You stinky panda, you should probably cut back on stealing bamboo shoots! Your data-driven brain has gone haywire!"

After Luo Hanying agreed to Ruan Chayan's words, she stood up and stretched her legs, her gaze unconsciously falling on Wenren Ya.

Wenren Ya felt Luo Hanying's gaze and asked with a smile, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Luo Hanying said, "Oh, it's nothing. I just think you're very handsome."

Wenren Ya was overjoyed to hear Luo Hanying's praise: "Thank you for your kind words, fellow Daoist. Your beauty is truly breathtaking."

Looking at her eyebrows and eyes, Luo Hanying asked curiously, "Is the red mole between your eyebrows natural? It gives you a kind of...divine quality, that kind of elegant, otherworldly feeling."

“It wasn’t congenital. I was injured when I was young, and this mark was left after I healed.” Wenren Ya’s smile faded a little when she heard Luo Hanying’s description, as if she was thinking about something.

Luo Hanying noticed Wenren Ya's sadness and decided not to ask any further questions.

At the second quarter of the hour of Si (9-11 AM), golden fireworks burst open in the sky three times in succession. The shapes of the bursts resembled cinnabar cauldrons, clearly the work of the Golden Cauldron Sect.

Luo Hanying immediately followed the Wenjian Sect members and flew east on their swords. Since they could see the fireworks from their location, the distance couldn't be ridiculously far.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Chayan and Luo Hanying underestimated the size of this secret realm. Luo Hanying flew non-stop for two hours before arriving at the agreed location, while Ruan Chayan was still far behind them.

Luo Hanying spread her divine sense under her feet and looked down from the air. In the middle of a sparse forest, she could see a square earthen mound that was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, like a pyramid with its tip cut off. It really looked like a tomb.

The four mounds are surrounded by trees planted in a regular pattern. There is a stone tablet several meters high on the outer perimeter, with the words "He Jiang Zun Zhe Kunling" inscribed on it. There are also some blurry small characters on the upper right and lower left, which have been washed away by wind and rain and are difficult to recognize.

The entire area was paved with stone bricks, but a straight north-south central axis road could be clearly seen leading directly from the outside to the tomb entrance. The bird and animal patterns carved on the broken stone bricks were incomplete.

As you walk along the spirit path inward, there are collapsed and tilted sculptures of humans and giant beasts on both sides of the path. Behind the tomb, there are still groups of sculptures, and you can also see ornamental columns and other things.

Luo Hanying saw familiar figures in front of the tomb gate: Ji Daoyun, Lin Zhuzui, and others.

"Junior Uncle! Senior Brother Lin! Senior Sister Dou!" Luo Hanying was relieved to see her own people and rushed over excitedly.

Now that they are all present, and Ji Daoyun also possesses the divine artifact Heavenly Rain, no matter whether the Sword Inquiry Sect is good or bad, they cannot easily endanger her life.

Dou Xueran softly replied, "Junior Sister Luo."

Luo Hanying exclaimed in surprise, "They're all acquaintances! What a coincidence!"

The disciples of the Shiren Sect who were ordered to enter the Guangxu Secret Realm this time basically overlapped with the personnel who went to investigate the Lu family, but there were a few missing people, only one male cultivator from Xinglin Peak, Luo Hanying, whom they had never met before.
