The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

Enlightenment won't help at all.

The emperor's decree required the discovery of Yun Yici.

He even suspected that this was Mingwu's conspiracy, and that all the nonsense he said was just an excuse Mingwu made to get away.

Zhulong is a mythical beast, so why would it choose people?

The Emperor decreed, "I remember Wen Fuyue saying that Master Mingwu of Chanyin Temple's birth jade tablet was shattered. Who exactly are you?"

The Emperor's decree immediately drew the attention of Rong Xuan and the other man who were groping inside the mouth of the Candle Dragon.

Yes, Wen Fuyue said that Master Mingwu's natal jade tablet was broken.

Mingwu sighed under the suspicious gazes of the three men and said, "That's what they say to outsiders. Do you think your master, an outsider, could have seen my natal jade tablet in person?"

Mingwu was the abbot at the time, but he was not in the sect for a long time, which caused panic among the disciples.

So Mingwu voluntarily stepped down, telling everyone, both internally and externally, that he had fallen from grace.

Apart from the abbot and Buddhist disciples of Chanyin Temple who knew some of the inside story, no one else knew.

Mingwu's explanation was reasonable and well-founded, and he barely managed to persuade the three people who issued the imperial edict.

The emperor decreed, "I will not leave until she comes out."

Rong Xuan calmly said, "Go find Master. Junior Sister Yun and Junior Brother Mu have both been on our sect's life tablet."

"Let's make sure they're safe first, then we can talk about other things."

Mingwu assured that Yun Yici and Mu Yunjian would be safe, but their sudden disappearance made Di Zhao and the others very uneasy.

Hua Yi, who remained above the Blood Abyss, was also uneasy. He listened to the roars of beasts on both banks and the surging red water, but he still couldn't see Yun Yici and his group coming up from the Blood Abyss.

Hua Yi sighed deeply, and finally lay down on the folding fan: "I told you not to go down, but you can't reason with those damned ghosts."

"Don't blame me, I will do as I promised you."

"But how am I supposed to save her?"

Hua Yi lay there for a while, then his heart suddenly pounded. He immediately jumped up and looked at the black dragon flying in from the distant horizon.

That familiar, imposing figure instantly brought tears to Hua Yi's eyes. He waved his hands and shouted, "Father!! I'm here!!!"

Hua Chong came looking for his cubs and followed Hua Yifei all the way, but he didn't expect that a group of cubs would keep running into the Blood Abyss.

A sense of foreboding washed over him, and he was filled with an immediate fear that his cub would end up like Li Zhan, reduced to nothing but a skin and bones.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, the black dragon let out a long roar and arrived at Hua Yi's side in just a few breaths.

Hua Yi then noticed that there were several people sitting on the black dragon's back.

The masters of those people were a blind man, Li Ji, and even Bai Ruo, a fox priest.

Actually, Bai Ruo was someone Wen Fuyue and the others encountered on their journey.

However, since Bai Ruo came looking for help, Hua Zhong was brought along as well.

Hua Chong was naturally overjoyed to find her cub.

But while one family rejoices, another is filled with sorrow.

Seeing that Hua Yi was alone, Wen Fuyue hurriedly asked, "Aren't my disciples with you?"

Before Hua Yi could even rejoice at his newfound life, he lowered his head and whispered, "They were swallowed by the Blood Abyss."

Li Ji's expression immediately changed: "What did you say?!"

Hua Yi said, "I saw it with my own eyes."

"Something in that realm sucked Li Zhan to death and then possessed that evil demon's body."

"The demon turned completely black."

"Senior Emperor Zhao and Fellow Daoist Yun wanted to save that evil demon, so we followed a golden lotus that led us to this place."

"But unexpectedly, the golden lotus actually dived into the water."

“I told them not to go, but Fellow Daoist Yun split the water, and they still went down.”

“I saw them trapped in the silt below the Blood Abyss, and then the water from the Blood Abyss rushed up, and I had no time to save them.”

After Hua Yi finished speaking, he saw the grim expressions on Wen Fuyue's and the other two's faces, and he shrank back in fright, adding, "I didn't lie."

"They told me to stay here, saying that someone staying up there could look after them."

"I promised them that if they didn't come up, I would send someone to rescue them."

"But look, we're almost at the source of the Blood Abyss of the Ziya..."

Wen Fuyue said, "Tell me in detail how they got down there."

Seeing that Wen Fuyue was still determined to go deeper into the matter, they realized that she was determined to continue.

The mighty black dragon said, "Fellow Daoist Wen, please accept my condolences. No demon cultivator who falls into the Blood Abyss has ever come out alive."

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge whirlpool began to appear on the calm surface of the Blood Abyss in front of everyone.

Everyone's expression changed simultaneously. Hua Yi quickly jumped onto her father's back, and then the black dragon took off and soared high into the sky.

Before Hua Chong could run far, a monk and two handsome young men appeared on the surface of the Blood Abyss.

When Li Ji saw the monk's face clearly, her beastly pupils constricted, and she exclaimed in a daze, "Master Mingwu?"

Wen Fuyue also looked at the monk in astonishment.

Mingwu had only sent Ning Tinglan and Rong Xuan to the Blood Abyss at their request, but he hadn't expected there to be so many guests from outside.

Some of them were even old acquaintances.

He said, "Li Ji, it's been a long time."

Wen Fuyue didn't have time to ask why the long-deceased abbot of Chanyin Temple was at the bottom of the Blood Abyss; he was more concerned about Ning Tinglan and Rong Xuan.

He keenly noticed that the two people's eyes were slightly red, and that Mu Yunjian and Yun Yici were nowhere to be seen.

In fact, the moment Li Ji recognized Ming Wu, Ning Tinglan and Rong Xuan felt at ease.

They initially doubted Mingwu's words because they couldn't confirm his identity, and they also doubted whether Mu Yunjian and Yun Yici were...

But now, if Mingwu wasn't lying to them, then Muyunjian and Yunyici might really have been chosen by Zhulong.

Wen Fuyue asked anxiously, "Where are your junior brothers and sisters? And where is Fellow Daoist Di Zhao?"

Rong Xuan and Ning Tinglan lowered their heads and remained silent.

Finally, Rong Xuan said, "I believe Senior Mingwu's words. Junior Brother and Junior Sister are fine. They can't come up for the time being because we are removing the evil spirits from Junior Brother Mu's body."

There were too many people in front of them, and they didn't know whether they should talk about Zhulong.

Once the demon cultivators of the demon realm learn that Zhulong is beneath the Blood Abyss, countless demon cultivators will likely rush to seize Zhulong's remains.

Bai Ruo said calmly, "What kind of evil thing is it that can't come out so we can get rid of it?"

Hua Zhong also came to his senses immediately. He had thought that Yun Yici and the others who had been swallowed by the Blood Abyss were doomed, but he was proven wrong.

But this is a good thing. If human cultivators can survive in the Blood Abyss, it means that something good must be hidden there.

It might even be a secret treasure left behind by Zhulong that has never been discovered!

Hua Zhong's heart was burning with passion, and his previous relief at his son's survival turned into dissatisfaction.

If Hua Yi were bolder and continued cultivating with these people, he might just obtain an extraordinary opportunity.
