"Master, what should we do next?" Chen Moxuan asked, his brow furrowed with concern. The demon and monster clans had clearly become involved in this matter. Should they first consolidate their internal strength before considering external actions?
Shao Lanyin's gaze was deep, as if she could see through the essence of all things. She spoke softly, "If the demon clan does not have a surefire way to eliminate you, they are unlikely to act rashly in the short term. The monster clan may be restless, but they lack the capability to pose a significant threat; at most, they can serve as a stumbling block, diverting our attention. However, the situation with Xianyuan Shengzhou is far from optimistic; that is our primary concern at present."
Chen Moxuan nodded in agreement. "You are absolutely right, Master. If there are indeed changes in Xianyuan Shengzhou, we cannot sit idly by. So what should we do next? Should we head to Xianyuan Shengzhou or do we have other plans?"
Shao Lanyin smiled slightly, a glimmer of wisdom flashing in her eyes. "Heading to Xianyuan Shengzhou is certainly feasible, but it might provoke unnecessary alarm. Instead, we should first conduct covert investigations to uncover the enemy's details before striking decisively. At the same time, we need to unite with the righteous individuals of Xianyuan Shengzhou to collectively combat this evil force and create some trouble for them."
Chen Moxuan immediately began to flatter her. "Master is truly remarkable; you have thought of everything."
Shao Lanyin shot him a glance and said, "We can start our investigation with Wanxian Sect and Jing Zong; perhaps we can uncover some clues there. Let's go together; leaving one person behind would be too dangerous."
Upon hearing this, Chen Moxuan's expression showed hesitation as he pondered inwardly. If he went with his master, wouldn’t the foundation created by future generations become a target? What if enemies attacked? Wouldn’t that be perilous?
With this thought in mind, he felt a surge of anxiety, his brow knitting tighter as his gaze flickered uncertainly.
Shao Lanyin noticed his demeanor and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Suddenly struck by inspiration, Chen Moxuan replied quickly, "It's nothing; I was just thinking of finding someone to help us."
With that thought in mind, he hurriedly rummaged through his Na Ring. After some searching, he finally found a Sound Transmission Jade Pendant. His heart leaped with joy as he activated the pendant. A flash of light appeared on its surface, and he successfully connected with Che Mi's voice transmission.
"Che Mi, I have an urgent matter to ask of you, and I hope you can lend a hand," Chen Moxuan's voice carried a hint of urgency.
From the jade pendant, Che Mi's voice came through, laced with a touch of laziness and nonchalance. "Oh? What is the urgent matter? Tell me."
Shao Lanyin, listening nearby, felt a twinge of annoyance upon hearing a woman's voice from the other end of the pendant. She huffed and turned to leave, muttering under her breath. "What nonsense! How can we let outsiders interfere in our affairs?"
Noticing her reaction, Chen Moxuan shrugged but didn’t have time to persuade her otherwise. He quickly explained the predicament they were facing and the potential crisis lurking in Xianyuan Shengzhou to Che Mi.
As Che Mi listened, her lazy tone gradually faded, replaced by a hint of seriousness. "I see. The safety of Xianyuan Shengzhou cannot be taken lightly. Although I am reluctant to meddle in your master-disciple matters, this concerns a greater cause, and I must act without hesitation."
Her words were resolute, clearly indicating she had made up her mind.
Hearing this, Chen Moxuan felt a weight lift from his heart and hurriedly expressed his gratitude. "Thank you so much! I am deeply grateful. If you could just keep an eye on things for me, we will have no worries and can fully commit to resolving the issues in Xianyuan Shengzhou."
After exchanging a few more brief words and confirming Che Mi's arrival time at Yun Miao Shengzhou, Chen Moxuan quickly ended the call and set off to find Shi Shao Lanyin.
Before long, he spotted his master at the mountain peak. The setting sun cast a warm glow on Shao Lanyin, adding a touch of softness to her figure. Her silhouette remained beautiful and resilient, as if she could withstand any storm that came her way.
Chen Moxuan walked slowly to her side and after a moment of silence, spoke softly. "Master, I found Che Mi. She agreed to come to Yun Miao Shengzhou to help oversee our foundation. This way, we can go to Xianyuan Shengzhou without any worries."
Upon hearing this, Shao Lanyin turned her head slightly, a complex emotion flickering in her gaze. She understood Chen Moxuan's good intentions but hadn’t expected that in their most dangerous moment, it would be her disciple who would need saving. After all, she was the Immortal Emperor!
Yet at this moment, seeing Chen Moxuan's determined eyes warmed her heart. "It’s been ten thousand years; I still see you as that child from before."
"Thank you, Chen Moxuan," Shao Lanyin's voice softened unusually.
At her words, Chen Moxuan suddenly smiled and sat beside his master. Between them, no words were needed; the mutual understanding and trust had long been deeply rooted in their hearts.
"When shall we go?" Chen Moxuan asked eagerly, as if he could hardly wait.
Once Che Mi arrived, we set off. Shao Lanyin's gaze remained fixed on the clouds in the sky, which were tinged with golden red by the setting sun, resembling a magnificent painting. Her voice was calm and resolute, revealing an undeniable determination.
Time flowed like water, quietly slipping away. On the appointed day, Che Mi finally appeared. Dressed in blue, she looked somewhat disheveled, clearly having rushed without time to tidy herself. Yet her eyes shone with an unusual brightness.
As soon as Che Mi reached Yun Miao Sheng Zhou, she anxiously searched for Chen Moxuan and Shao Lanyin. Upon seeing them bathed in the afterglow of the sunset at Du Sheng Mountain, a wave of excitement surged within her.
“Chen Moxuan, I’m here!” Che Mi called out urgently as she hurried over to them. Though her expression showed signs of fatigue, her eyes sparkled with unwavering resolve.
Seeing this, Chen Moxuan quickly approached with a smile. “Che Mi Senior, you’ve finally arrived! It must have been a tough journey.”
Che Mi waved her hand dismissively and replied with a smile, “It’s nothing; I just rushed a bit and didn’t have time to tidy up. What’s the situation now? How should we proceed?”
Chen Moxuan briefly explained the current situation and their plans to Che Mi. After listening, she nodded and said, “I understand. You can rest assured and head to Xianyuan Shengzhou. I will keep watch here.”
Shao Lanyin also stepped forward, looking at Che Mi with a glimmer of gratitude in her eyes. She softly said, “Che Mi, thank you so much. With you here, we feel at ease.”
After a brief conversation among Shao Lanyin, Chen Moxuan, and Che Mi, they decided to set off immediately for Xianyuan Shengzhou. Every moment of delay could make the situation more critical.
With Xiao Bai Long and Pixiu seeing them off, the three embarked on their journey toward Xianyuan Shengzhou. The wind on the celestial mountain seemed to hum a low tune for their departure.
Before them lay the ancient and mysterious land of Xianyuan Shengzhou, quietly waiting. As they stealthily approached Jingjiao, Chen Moxuan took out an Ancient Bronze Mirror Soul Mirror from within his robes.
