"You stay here. I'll go pick up your mother and your uncle. Does your uncle have any other family members?"
"No, my uncle is focused on his cultivation and is alone."
"That's even better; it saves us a lot of trouble."
Wei Chen was pleased to see that Ginger Tooth was a bachelor. If he had children to bring along, it would complicate things. After chatting for a while, Snow Cicada and Weirou had been observing them from the shadows.
Wei Chen glanced in the direction of Snow Cicada and Weirou, feeling awkward. "You two don't need to hide; come out and chat. I'm stepping out for a bit."
Snow Cicada and Weirou emerged, while Wei Chen, not wanting to stir up trouble, quickly left. With three women together, he had no interest in mingling with them.
The three women met each other's gaze, and though no one spoke, they all secretly loathed Wei Chen for being such a flirt.
Mu Qingyan had heard of Weirou and knew Wei Chen's intentions. She studied the two women before her and quickly deduced that the voluptuous beauty was Weirou. The other woman, however, was unfamiliar to her—could she be a new love interest of Wei Chen's?
"Who are you?" Weirou asked coolly.
"I'm Mu Qingyan. You must be Sister Wei Rou? Wei Chen often talks about you," Mu Qingyan said, suppressing her frown and smiling at Weirou and Snow Cicada. In situations like this, one couldn't afford to look gloomy; it could lead to misunderstandings. Mu Qingyan understood well the significance of Weirou in Wei Chen's heart.
Weirou felt a flicker of joy at her words. "Really? He often mentions me?"
"Yes, his purpose in coming to Ling Sheng Dynasty is to find you," Mu Qingyan replied.
"Well, Wei Chen and I are both from the Eastern Wasteland's Sui Nation Wei Family; we grew up together like siblings, but we don't share any blood relation," Weirou said lightly, her tone carrying a hint of warning. The lack of blood ties was the crucial point.
"It turns out like this... When I mentioned this sister, I felt something was off," Wei Chen thought to himself.
Mu Qingyan secretly pondered and said, "I really envy you for being able to be with Wei Chen so early. I met Wei Chen in Eryuan City, and we went through a lot of hardships together."
By saying this, Mu Qingyan was clearly marking her own position.
Weirou and Snow Cicada were not foolish; they could both hear the implications in Mu Qingyan's words.
Weirou nodded and pointed to Snow Cicada beside her, saying, "Sister Yen Er, this is Snow Cicada. Well... she is already Wei Chen's wife..."
Upon hearing this, Snow Cicada's face turned slightly red. She was somewhat timid and did not want to compete with any of Wei Chen's women. Weirou's support took her by surprise.
Moreover, that statement was rather bold, wasn't it?
Mu Qingyan was taken aback for a moment and felt a twinge of jealousy towards Snow Cicada.
Wei Chen left Peach Blossom Island and summoned the Fire Phoenix Martial Soul. He raced around Ling City for several hours and finally found Mu Qingyan's mother and uncle several dozen miles north, away from Ling City.
They traveled lightly; Ginger Tooth acted as the coachman while Jiang Langying sat silently in the carriage. There wasn't much on the carriage; their possessions had all been destroyed in the fire.
Along the way, Wei Chen saw countless people fleeing Ling City, leaving with nothing. This grand city of the Ling Sheng Dynasty had suffered immense casualties, and those escaping had no courage to stay any longer.
Especially after the news of Emperor Ling Jueyun's death spread, there was even less desire to remain in Ling City. The survival of the Ling Sheng Dynasty itself was in question. It would be strange if the other two Holy Dynasties did not come looking for trouble after such a disaster.
Upon seeing Wei Chen, Ginger Tooth showed a look of surprise. This kid truly had strong vitality; despite everything that had happened in Ling City—most of which was somehow related to him—he still dared to bounce around alone?
"Uncle Jiang, Auntie, Mu Qingyan is now at Peach Blossom Island. It's very safe there. The Ancient Spirit Academy has been destroyed, and the Mu Family has been wiped out. Why don't we go to Peach Blossom Island for a while? Once everything settles down, we can think about our future more carefully. What do you think?"
Jiang Langying exclaimed in surprise, "Yen Er has arrived at Peach Blossom Island?"
"Yes, she is safe there. After the swap, she left Ling City and went straight to Peach Blossom Island."
"Alright, we'll go with you."
Without needing much discussion, Jiang Langying and Ginger Tooth were already planning to find Mu Qingyan. Now that they had news of her, following Wei Chen to Peach Blossom Island was an excellent choice.
Jiang Langying was from the Spirit Realm, and Ginger Tooth was at the Human Soul Realm Fifth Level, which made things easier as they could fly directly to Peach Blossom Island.
Without any detours, the three quickly entered Peach Blossom Island under Wei Chen's guidance without triggering any formations.
"Wei Young Master, I heard that there are powerful formations all around Peach Blossom Island. Why haven't I seen any?" Ginger Tooth asked in confusion.
Wei Chen was taken aback and chuckled bitterly, "Uncle Jiang, do you really want to test the power of the formations? Once we reach Peach Blossom Island, you can fly around and try it for yourself. I can't guarantee your safety. Right now, I'm leading you through a path that avoids the formations; if someone else were here, it would be a different story."
"If we remember this route, can we follow it next time?"
Ginger Tooth meant no harm; he was just asking casually.
Wei Chen smiled and explained, "The formations here are not as simple as you think. They are layered upon one another and constantly changing. Unless you're familiar with these formations, living on Peach Blossom Island for a hundred years wouldn't help you find your way out."
"No wonder... over the years, many Major Forces have been probing Peach Blossom Island, sending countless spies who ended up feeding the fish in the lake," Ginger Tooth marveled.
"Our plan is to go to the Central Domain and establish a new faction called the Peach Blossom Sect. With Han Mang around, we don't need to worry about formations; ordinary people can't even enter the Mountain Gate. We can easily find an abandoned mountain peak, and with the Soul Gathering Array, we can cultivate quickly. If possible, I would like to invite you all to join us."
Wei Chen chuckled, giving Ginger Tooth and Jiang Langying a hint. This was no longer an invitation; it was a foregone conclusion. Ginger Tooth and Jiang Langying understood Wei Chen's meaning and nodded slightly. They truly had nowhere else to go, and being with Mu Qingyan was a great option. Musa and Mu Yang had a good relationship with Wei Chen, so they could at least manage to be together as a family.
Upon arriving at Peach Blossom Island, Han Mang, Han Che, and the Pharmaceutical Sovereign immediately came out to welcome Ginger Tooth and Jiang Langying. Suddenly encountering three formidable figures from the Earth Soul Realm made both Ginger Tooth and Jiang Langying feel somewhat restrained.
Mu Qingyan reunited with Jiang Langying, and the two embraced each other in tears while Wei Chen stood aside, giving them enough space.
"Sister Wei Rou, Snow Cicada, how did your conversation with Mu Qingyan go?"
"Nothing unusual; Yen Er is a good person. You should treat her well," Weirou replied.
Wei Chen felt a surge of joy inside; as long as there were no arguments, that was good enough. He had initially thought there might be some conflicts among the three women, but it seemed that Mu Qingyan handled her relationships with Weirou and Snow Cicada quite well.
After resting for several hours, a sudden fluctuation from the formation was felt.
Wei Chen immediately flew into the air above Peach Blossom Island and headed toward the source of the formation's disturbance. Even if a large force from the Soul Palace arrived around Peach Blossom Island, Wei Chen wouldn't care; he could control the formation alone and eliminate all of Soul Palace's forces.
At the location of the formation's disturbance, someone was struggling to row a boat.
Who else could it be but Ling Ao?
"Ling Ao, what are you doing here?"
"I'm looking for you."
Ling Ao's response was blunt. Wei Chen had landed on the boat and said, "I can't take you into Peach Blossom Island. If you have something to discuss, let's do it here."
"Alright, I'll be straightforward. I'm here to ask if you have any way to find people from the Soul Palace. They killed my father, and I will avenge him, even if it means sending all our troops. I don't care if the Ling Sheng Dynasty gets divided by the other two Holy Dynasties."
Ling Ao's expression was cold and fierce, and Wei Chen had no doubt that he would go through with it.
"I'm also looking for people from the Soul Palace. The grudge I have against them is beyond your imagination. I can't sleep peacefully until they are dead."
"Do you have any plan?"
"Not at the moment. You need to have those above the Spirit Realm in Ling City on standby for my orders. Once the Soul Palace shows up, we'll handle the experts here at Peach Blossom Island, while you take care of the ordinary Spirit Wisdom Realm and Surge Realm fighters."
"Understood."
Ling Ao nodded, giving Wei Chen a deep look before turning back to row the boat.
He didn't trigger the maze formation; he only entered the water a few dozen meters before he could see the shore clearly, unlike Mu Qingyan, who had ventured several miles in and triggered the maze formation, unable to escape.
"Wei Chen, what does the royal family want with you?" As soon as Wei Chen returned, Han Mang came to inquire.
"It's about dealing with the Soul Palace. We need to work together to kill Mo; as for the rest, the royal family has the strength to handle them without us wasting our efforts. Once we deal with Mo, we can prepare to withdraw."
"But do you know where Mo is?" Han Mang asked with a frown.
"I don't know." Wei Chen shrugged helplessly. If he knew, he wouldn't be standing around here; he would have already gone after him.
"Don't tell me you're just blowing hot air?"
"Can't you think of a way?"
"What method have you come up with?"
"Just follow my lead when the time comes. You all just need to take action while I think things through. This way, everyone will be less tired, right?"
Wei Chen had subtly begun to establish an authority that overshadowed the Peach Blossom Island Three Elders. That kind of authority came without reason and felt completely natural, as if it was meant to be...
After a while, the boisterous atmosphere faded. Apart from the area around the Ancient Spirit Academy where red lava flows could still be seen, everywhere else had turned into a dark brown. A heavy rain fell, shrouding the entire Ling City in a misty haze. From the vantage point of Peach Blossom Island, both the mountains surrounding Ling City and the city itself were obscured by the fog, rendering them unrecognizable.
Once again, after some time had passed, the clouds parted to reveal clarity. Wei Chen and the Peach Blossom Island Three Elders, along with Weirou, departed from Peach Blossom Island.
Upon arriving at Ling City, the Peach Blossom Island Three Elders vanished without a trace, leaving no lingering presence behind. Wei Chen, accompanied by Weirou, leisurely flew above Ling City, searching for areas that had not been devastated by the Lava Flow.
Finally, Wei Chen and Weirou reached the skies above the Western Suburb Slum.
A faint aura of an array caught Wei Chen's attention.
