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

Upon receiving the news, Shen Huaichuan and his group arrived quickly.

Once everyone had arrived, Shi Xiao led them down into the clouds.

When Yun Yici heard her say that they were inside the shell of a giant turtle, she thought it was a complete shell, with the plastron below and the carapace above.

Unexpectedly, it was an upside-down carapace, like a bowl lying peacefully on its side.

The Dawn Clan lived in the deepest part of the city, and they landed right on the edge of the shell when they descended from Elysium.

These clouds concealed the Dawn and Dusk Clan deep within.

The group followed Shi Xiao toward the gathering place of the Chaomu tribe.

Yun Yici tentatively asked, "Does your clan also have weapon cultivators?"

Shi Xiao knew that she was testing the origins of the magical artifacts in Bliss City.

She smiled wryly and said, "Fellow Daoist is joking."

"We have no hope of cultivation. Even if we were given a peerless method, we wouldn't be able to cultivate it even for a day."

"The magical artifacts you saw in the City of Bliss were all gifts from Fellow Daoist Ruan."

Yun Yici asked in confusion, "Fellow Daoist Ruan? Have other people been to Chaomu Village?"

Shi Xiao thought for a moment and said apologetically, "When you see the Grand Elder, he should tell you."

Seeing the verdant greenery stretching beyond the clouds right before her eyes, Yun Yici stopped worrying.

When the clouds dispersed, everyone could see the densely packed, star-like city buildings in front of them.

It's no exaggeration to say that this place is a giant city, even larger than the largest city in the Xuanling Domain, Yinxian City.

If we compare it to Xuanhuang City, it's equivalent to five or six Xuanhuang Cities.

Even Yun Yici was stunned by the magnificent scene.

Shi Xiao led everyone into the city, and only then did they realize that the outermost ring of Chaomu City was more like a desolate village.

The further in you go, the more exquisite the architectural style becomes.

Different architectural styles record the passage of time.

Perhaps because the people of Chaomu Township have long been isolated from outsiders, the architectural style here is unique and has not been influenced by the outside world at all.

The abandoned buildings on the outer ring are no longer inhabited; the residents all live in the center of the city.

The Presbyterian Council, on the contrary, is located far from the bustling city center, in a secluded and quiet place.

The group followed Shi Xiao straight to the Elders' Council to find the Imperial Edict and Lin Yu.

Seeing that they were going further and further astray, Wu Wang couldn't help but frown.

After wandering around for a short while, two men in black suddenly emerged from the shadows.

One of them said, "Shi Xiao, why did you bring outsiders here without permission?"

Shi Xiao said, "They know the distinguished guests that the elder brought back. I saw them wandering around the City of Bliss, so I brought them here to look for someone."

Yun Yici subtly glanced at the man in black.

There was no spiritual energy fluctuation from the other party; they were simply physically stronger.

The man in black frowned and said, "Wait here for a moment. Ah Xi, go and inform the elder."

Another man in black turned and disappeared around the corner.

The man in black then reprimanded Shi Xiao with a stern face: "Don't forget your responsibilities. You shouldn't bring outsiders here casually."

"If there's a next time, you'll stay here and never go out again."

Shi Xiao's face paled as she was scolded, but she quickly mustered her courage and said, "They are like Ruan... they are not bad people."

When Yun Yici saw that Shi Xiao was being scolded because of them, she spoke up to defend them: "Fellow Daoist, we came to find our lost friend and have no bad intentions."

The man in black remained on guard, saying, "You don't need to have bad intentions. If you want to destroy us, it's just a matter of saying the word."

These words sounded sarcastic and Yun Yici couldn't figure them out, so she simply waited for the man in black named Axi to come over.

Shi Xiao looked longingly in the direction of the Elders' Council.

After everyone waited patiently for a while, Axi, who had gone to report, returned, followed by a bright and beautiful figure in red.

Emperor Zhao initially thought the little demon who came to report was lying to him, but unable to contain his excitement, he still followed along.

I never expected that the person I had been longing for would actually be right in front of me.

Yun Yici and the others were relieved to see the imperial edict.

The emperor strode over to Axi, his eyes shining: "Why are you here?"

Wu Wang said with a wry smile, "Oh dear, you should ask that brat Lin Yu. He's really ruined our lives."

Lin Yu, who was walking behind with the elder of the Chaomu Clan, pricked up her ears: "I think I heard someone call my name."

"Could they really be here?"

Lin Yu strode forward and, sure enough, saw Yun Yici and the others standing there without missing a single one.

Rinyu's vision went black: "Why are they here?"

When everyone met, they finally understood what had happened.

The secret technique of the Divine Turtle Clan that Lin Yu used was recorded without any consideration for the scenario of only teleporting one or two people.

Therefore, the selection and transfer are done directly from within the clan.

Unfortunately, the Shen'ao clan had no one left, only a few of them.

And so they became the chosen "lucky ones".

Lin Yu said with a headache, "What should we do?"

"There's no record of how to get back in the jade slips of my clan."

The Grand Elder said, "Lord Linyu, as I mentioned before, Fellow Daoist Ruan can take your friend back with him."

"We just need you to grant us some more time."

Yun Yici was confused by what she heard, so she pressed for details, "What is the background of this Fellow Daoist Ruan?"

Seeing everyone standing together, the Grand Elder said, "Let's talk about this in the Elders' Council, distinguished guests."

Rin-tama sighed, "That's all we can do."

With the Grand Elder leading the way, the journey ahead was smooth sailing.

After everyone sat down in the small reception hall, Lin Yu said, "I didn't calculate this correctly, I'm sorry."

There's no point in saying anything more now that things have come to this.

Yun Yici asked, "What's the situation now?"

The emperor skillfully answered, "Lin Yu said he needed the shell of his ancestor, but his giant turtle clan rarely comes here, so this shell has become the vessel for Chaomu Township."

"The elder said that we can only exchange the Divine Turtle Shell when that cultivator surnamed Ruan arrives."

This time, Yun Yici didn't need to ask. The elder of Chaomu Township explained, "Back then, when the Shen'ao clan descended to the mortal realm, Lord Linggu entrusted us with the abdominal armor before his death."

"The armor on its back is used to protect our race, which is where we are now."

"Originally, it would have been fine to hand over the abdominal armor to Lady Rinyu."

"But... because a certain clan chief embezzled the armor, the belly armor was lost."

The elder looked ashamed: "That clan leader used the stolen abdominal armor to go to the lower realm, and Fellow Daoist Ruan came to Chaomu Township because of this opportunity."

“We asked him to help us find the abdominal armor, but we learned that it had already merged with a blessed land.”

The elder was so moved by what he said that he actually knelt down in front of Lin Yu.

Lin Yu's expression did not soften in the slightest.

"We have broken our promise and are no longer entitled to shamelessly enjoy Lord Rinkotsu's protection."

"We are willing to return the armor to Lord Rinyu."
