The villainous simp ignores the plot and mercilessly torments the female lead to tears.

As he spoke, he looked at Qin Yan: "Venerable Qin Yan, I have asked the other elders, and they all recommend that you take charge of this mission."

Qin Yan nodded: "No problem. I've been cultivating for so many years, but I haven't really made a move yet. Let me go."

Hu Yong then looked at Venerable Qinglin: "Venerable Qinglin, I'm afraid we'll need you to lead the team this time. This matter is unusual, and you have experience in this area."

Venerable Qinglin said, "No problem, I will lead the team this time."

The Azure Scale Venerable is now at the Great Sage realm and is the Supreme Elder of the Myriad Demon Palace. He mainly focuses on cultivation and only appears when there is a problem.

Hu Yong nodded: "If there are no problems, let's set off."

No one said anything more, and they all left.

Outside the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, a flying boat three thousand feet long floated in the air, with hundreds of elite guards of the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons standing on it.

Qin Yan recognized the two leaders; they were Kong Xun and Bai Liang.

After Hu Yong became the palace master, these two also officially became elders of the Ten Thousand Demon Palace.

Qin Yan glanced at Venerable Qinglin and said, "Venerable Qinglin, please."

Venerable Qinglin smiled and said, "Venerable Qin Yan, please."

The two looked at each other, smiled, and then boarded the flying boat together.

As soon as the two stood still, Kong Xun immediately said to a guard, "Give the order to depart now."

"Yes."

The flying boat slowly began to fly, its speed increasing until it quickly left the area of ​​the Ten Thousand Demon Palace.

During the journey, Qin Yan called over Venerable Qinglin, Kong Xun, and Bai Liang.

Venerable Qinglin sat down, picked up the tea in front of him, and said with a smile:

"Venerable Qin Yan, what are your instructions for summoning us here?"

Qin Yan glanced at her and said, "I mainly called you over because I was bored, so I wanted to analyze this strange phenomenon. Was it emitted by a person or an object?"

"We need to discuss this in advance and develop plans for different situations."

They had no objections to Qin Yan's suggestion.

Kong Xun said, "Qin Yan, you are right. We don't have any advantages in this trip to the East China Sea, so we must plan ahead."

Bai Liang said, "I can't handle such a complicated situation. Why don't you tell me, and I'll listen?"

Qin Yan glanced at him and shook his head: "You rascal."

He then looked at Venerable Qinglin: "Venerable Qinglin, you are knowledgeable and experienced. Do you think this is a living thing or an inanimate object?"

Venerable Qinglin did not answer immediately, but frowned and pondered gently.

Qin Yan and the others did not interrupt Venerable Qinglin's train of thought; they were also thinking about something.

After a long while, Venerable Qinglin let out a long breath and said:

"I think it's a living dead thing."

Qin Yan didn't think that Venerable Qinglin was talking nonsense, because the Tianxuan Continent was incredibly magical, and it wasn't surprising that such a situation existed.

Moreover, this situation is easy to understand; it involves objects that have developed sentience.

Qin Yan pursed his lips and said, "Venerable Qinglin, what do you think could have developed sentience?"

Venerable Qinglin thought for a moment and said, "According to the information we received, this strange phenomenon is a blue dragon soaring into the sky."

"The phenomenon is too monotonous to be something a human could create, so I conclude that it is an inanimate object, and most likely it is dragon-patterned lapis lazuli."

Upon hearing the words "Dragon Pattern Azure Gold," Qin Yan's eyes widened instantly.

Dragon-patterned Azure Gold is a supreme treasure of the Tianxuan Continent, comparable to only a handful of other divine golds.

Moreover, dragon-patterned lapis lazuli is the best metal for forging imperial weapons, bar none.

Seeing his expression, Venerable Qinglin smiled and said, "So now you know why I sent you to lead the team this time, right? It's mainly to have you snatch this thing so you can use it as an imperial weapon to prove your Dao and become an emperor."

Qin Yan nodded slightly: "I see, I understand now. Don't worry, I will definitely get my hands on this."
