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

Besides that, what displeased the emperor the most was Ying Xuewu.

The sect leader of the Heavenly Desire Sect was not noisy, but he always invited Yun Yici to banquets.

Moreover, they were all at night.

What kind of banquet are those two people, a lone man and a lone woman, attending late at night?

The emperor was furious, knowing he could hear everything Ying Xue was up to from the second floor.

That shameless bastard, relying on his good looks, shamelessly clung to me like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, utterly taking advantage of my kindness.

Shen Huaichuan is much more honest now.

Fortunately, Yun Yici never paid any attention to the sect leader of the Desire Sect that day, nor did he go down to attend the banquet.

Thinking about it this way, the emperor's anger subsided somewhat, and the music coming from below didn't seem so unpleasant to the ear.

Yun Yici happened to come out of the room and saw Di Zhao sitting outside enjoying the breeze. She greeted him, "What are you doing outside?"

"Come quick, I was just looking for you."

The emperor, realizing he had omitted the last "men" in his edict, happily jumped down from the carved railing of the boat and walked to his beloved's side.

"Xiao Ci, is there something you need from me?"

Yun Yici gathered everyone together and found a spacious hall to take out the prepared map.

"I've taken a look, let's part ways with Fellow Daoist Chu and the others when we reach the next town."

This is a map of the Earth Spirit Realm.

On the map, the three realms of humans, demons, and monsters are clearly distinguished.

The original ecology of the Earth Spirit Realm is more like their Mysterious Spirit Realm, with the three kingdoms standing in a tripartite balance and not interfering with each other.

Yun Yici chose to settle down at the border between the human and demon realms.

In places like this, sparsely populated, their actions will not attract the attention of various forces.

They parted ways with Chu Xuan in an unnamed town, where they could land and board the Sun and Moon Shuttle without being noticed by others.

Upon hearing that he would soon be disembarking from the Heavenly Desire Sect, the Emperor was overjoyed: "I agree."

Everyone agreed.

After all, it's always inconvenient to be with a group of outsiders.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Yun Yici went to bid farewell to Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan asked in surprise, "Why the rush? This place is in the middle of nowhere. Why don't we go to the next city with a spirit boat and then disembark?"

"Otherwise, you'll only be able to fly on swords then."

Yun Yici didn't explain further: "Fellow Daoist Chu, you may stop here. We have our own plans."

"Please do not disturb the fellow Daoists of the Heavenly Desire Sect regarding our departure."

Chu Xuan tried his best to persuade her to stay, but to no avail, and could only respect Yun Yici's decision.

Because the town ahead is too small, the spirit boat could damage the houses and people in the town if it were to stop there rashly.

Chu Xuan then deliberately chose a deserted green space to stop the spirit boat.

The spirit boat suddenly landed, startling all the disciples on board.

"Oh, what's going on?"

"Could it be that our spirit boat is also broken like the one belonging to the Heavenly Desire Sect?"

"Pah, what nonsense are you talking about? Our spirit boat won't break."

The disciples of the Qian Yuan Sect were making a ruckus, which attracted many disciples of the Tian Yu Sect to peek out as well.

Zhai Chunyuan immediately summoned her disciples back to the boat.

"What's the panic! It's just a normal replenishment of spiritual energy for the spirit boat."

The disciples were reassured by their trusted senior uncle, and their hearts were at ease.

Before long, the spirit boat set off smoothly again.

Yun Yici and the others had already quietly flown into the clouds from the side of the spirit boat, either by sword or by other flying magical artifacts.

Only then did they manage to distance themselves from the spirit boats traveling in the opposite direction.

Suddenly, a tender and poignant melody came from the spirit boat behind them.

The music of the zither traveled over the sea of ​​clouds and reached everyone's ears. It was like weeping and lamenting, low and melodious, as if bidding farewell and reluctant to part.

Everyone instinctively turned around and saw a young man in purple robes sitting leisurely at the stern of the spirit boat, playing the zither.

Who else could it be but Ying Xuewu?

The emperor said unhappily, "Let him play if he wants to. Let's go."

They and Chu Xuan's spirit boat were heading south and north respectively, and the imperial edict was deliberately trying to shake off the other side, so they quickly left the zither music behind.

No one took the matter to heart and went straight to the Sun and Moon Shuttle after landing.

Xie Qianjue activated the invisible protective shield and then headed towards the place Yun Yici had chosen without looking back.

Once aboard the Sun and Moon Shuttle, everyone felt much more relaxed.

The emperor ordered the light core to be taken out for everyone to observe, and Yun Yici also took out the small stone turtle.

"I called him many times, but he wouldn't wake up."

"I was even worried that it was all a hallucination that day."

Lin Yu was observing the light core: "This thing is definitely related to the one above."

"Hey, Xiao Ci, look! This bird is also hitting the core wall inside the light core."

Xie Qianjue, who was at the head of the table maneuvering the Sun and Moon Shuttle, could only manage a weak glance back.

He said, "This bird has a strange quality; it seems to be constantly trying to escape an unseen cage."

Yun Yici pondered for a moment: "I feel like it's not trying to escape."

"At that time, the imperial edict pointed out that the howling sound was a cry to find one's parents and clansmen, and it gave a response."

"Is it looking for something too?"

The emperor replied, "I don't understand what its cries mean."

"However, where did it get its parents and relatives?"

This is the embodiment of a light core.

Yun Yici pondered, "Let's release it and see when we get to a secluded place."

Previously, with so many people around, they had no way of probing what the light core actually was.

The group finally settled in the territory that was still part of the human realm before they arrived in the demon realm, using the Sun and Moon Shuttle.

After everything was settled, Yun Yici set up a concealment array, and only then did the Emperor infuse divine power into the light core.

However... there was no reaction at all.

Yun Yici refused to believe in superstition and took the light core, injecting spiritual power into it.

The light core, having absorbed spiritual energy, shone brightly, and a spirited light bird flew out from the small light core.

As the light bird manifested, the light core was also integrated into the body by the light bird.

The bird let out a clear cry and, unlike its previous aimless wandering, flew towards the northwest.

The magic array that Yun Yici had set up earlier had just trapped him.

The light bird then began to frantically crash into the magic circle in the northwest direction, just as it had done before.

Its feathers are made of light, and no matter how much it is struck, not a single feather will fall off.

However, the light surrounding him began to dim as the energy was depleted.

Ning Tinglan deduced, "Is there something in the northwest? That's why it keeps trying to fly in that direction."

Yun Yici then said, "What I'm thinking is that the people who spent money to bid for this treasure must have tried to infuse it with spiritual power, just like we have."

"They might make the same choice as us to seek the truth."

In the end, all of them died, and the light bird pointed to the northwest, which seemed to indicate unknown dangers.

The emperor placed his finger to his lips and let out a soft whistle. The bird seemed to regain its senses temporarily and looked at him hesitantly.

He blew again, and the light bird stopped moving, flew back into his sleeve, and obediently transformed back into its previous light core.

"First, take a look at the map. What's to the northwest?"

Yun Yici moved swiftly, unfolding the map: "It's... the Demon Realm."
