Right at this moment, the communication formation beside Han Li suddenly lit up, and a crimson humanoid figure appeared. It was none other than Daoist Huyan.
"Daoist Li, quickly gather at Banyan Sea Island," the scarlet figure said.
"Banyan Sea Island … Senior, could the entrance to the Netherfrost Immortal Residence really be below Red Moon Island?" Han Li was slightly startled. This island was where he had gathered for his first mission with the Anicca Alliance.
"Oh, it seems that you've also seen the news circulating within the alliance.
There's a seventy to eighty percent chance that this is true. Hurry up and meet up with us, "Daoist Huyan urged in a noncommittal manner.
"Alright, I'll be right there."
Han Li nodded before making a hand seal to end the communication. He then stowed away the communication formation plate before flying down into the ocean.
A short moment later, a streak of azure light shot out of the sea, circling once in the air before quickly flying in a certain direction.
On the surface of the Blackwind Sea Region, the people of the Cangliu Palace stood on a large blue flying ship that was rapidly flying forward.
"Red Moon Island. This island's location is neither remote nor close to the center of the Blackwind Sea Region. It's easy to overlook." Luo Qinghai stood at the bow of the ship and muttered to himself thoughtfully.
In front of him was a small blue screen of light. It was densely packed with islands scattered across the azure sea.
There were several people standing behind him. Apart from a middle-aged man with a feathered crown, there were three others.
One of them was a pale-faced scholar in his twenties or thirties. He held a blue feather fan in his hand and looked rather refined.
There was also a solemn-looking old man with a black beard. He had his head lowered as if looking at his feet. He seemed somewhat taciturn and uncommunicative.
The last person was a man wearing a bamboo hat. The brim of the hat was pulled down so his appearance couldn't be seen clearly. One could only vaguely see that he was a man.
This person's arms had been cut off at the shoulder. His body was like a body. He looked comical and faintly terrifying.
The others, including Nanke Meng and the bearded man, stood slightly further away.
"Palace Master, I've gone to investigate Red Moon Island before. At that time, I didn't find anything strange. Perhaps we were careless," the pale-faced scholar said with some self-blame.
"If it really was a restriction set up by the Northern Chill Celestial Palace, ordinary methods would definitely not be able to detect it. This is not your fault, so you don't have to blame yourselves.
Although I don't know who leaked this information, my intuition tells me that it should be true. "Xiao Jinhan waved his hand and said slowly.
"Palace Master, you mean …" The pale-faced scholar was slightly startled. Then, he said with some excitement on his face.
The black-bearded old man who had lowered his head to look at his feet also raised his head. Although his expression was still solemn and silent, his eyes seemed to have an additional spirit. Even the bamboo hat worn by the man in the bamboo hat trembled slightly.
When Nanke Meng and the others heard Xiao Jinhan's words, their faces lit up with excitement.
Xiao Jinhan did not say anything more. He formed a hand seal and pointed. The blue flying boat shone brightly, and its speed increased. It turned into a huge blue phantom as it sped forward.
In the sky above the Black Wind Sea, a group of grey-robed figures stood motionlessly in the air. It was the Fu Ling Sect.
"Senior Brother, do you think this information is true?" The one-eyed man looked at Feng Tiandu and asked.
"There must be a reason for this groundless rumor.
So many of you have been unable to find any clues so far. You might as well try everything you can, "Feng Tiandu said expressionlessly.
"Senior Brother is right. But then again, the entrance to the Celestial Palace this time is a little strange …" The one-eyed man smiled awkwardly.
Without waiting for the one-eyed man to finish his sentence, Feng Tiandu raised his hand and waved his sleeve. A black cloud appeared and enveloped everyone within it. A gust of chilly wind blew and carried everyone away, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
On a lush island, a silver-robed woman floated in the air. It was Qu Ling.
She wore a green mask on her face. Bright green light shone from the mask, forming a green light screen.
Qu Ling looked at the green light screen with a smile in her eyes.
At this moment, a ball of white light appeared in the distant sky and quickly flew over.
Qu Ling turned her head and looked in that direction. She took off the green mask on her face and put it away.
The white light landed on the island and flickered twice before dissipating, revealing the group of people with the square-faced old man. There were a few more people than before.
The square-faced old man took two steps forward and said excitedly, "Friend Channel, have you heard the rumor that the entrance to the Celestial Palace has appeared? It's under the Red Moon Island."
The square-faced old man nodded and said, "I already know. This news has caused a huge commotion in the Wuchang Alliance."
The square-faced old man subconsciously lowered his voice and asked, "Do you think this news is reliable?"
"There are many people in the Wuchang Alliance who doubt this news, but not many people can produce concrete evidence to refute this news. It seems that there is a possibility that it is true.
But regardless of whether this news is true or not, we naturally have to go to the Red Moon Island to take a look. "Qu Ling said noncommittally.
"It seems that this is the only way." The square-faced old man nodded thoughtfully.
"It's just that I don't know much about this Red Moon Island. Your Xue Family used to be a local force in this Black Wind Sea. Mr. Xue Shan should know something about this island, right?" Qu Ling asked.
"Friend Channel, you may not know, but the Red Moon Island was not very famous in the Black Wind Sea, and the Xue Family moved out of the Black Wind Sea tens of thousands of years ago, so I don't know much about it. I only heard that the Island Master of the Red Moon Island was a quite famous Earth Immortal with good cultivation. Later, for some reason, this person was killed, and the Red Moon Island has been abandoned. Until now, there is no one managing it." The square-faced old man thought for a while and said.
"I see …" Qu Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a thoughtful look.
"Since we have decided to go, let's go as soon as possible. If this news is true, don't let other forces take the lead." The square-faced old man waited for a while, but Qu Ling was still silent, so he couldn't help but say anxiously.
"Okay, then let's go." Qu Ling's eyes flashed, and she collected her thoughts.
The square-faced old man was overjoyed. He turned around and waved his hand, sending out a white light that enveloped the Xue Family.
At this moment, a breeze blew past the old man's back, and he felt a chill in his lower abdomen, followed by a sharp pain.
All the strength in his body quickly dissipated, and he looked down.
A white snake head as thick as a bowl stuck out of his abdomen, holding a white person in its mouth. The person's facial features were exactly the same as the old man's.
The square-faced old man's eyes widened, and his face was full of disbelief.
Although there wasn't much light on his body, he was wearing a close-fitting Spirit Armor. It was a treasure that he had spent hundreds of thousands of years refining, but in front of this snake, it was like a piece of paper.
There was a flash of white light deep in the white snake's mouth, and a white flame flew out and hit the Nascent Soul.
The old man's Nascent Soul was immediately frozen by white ice crystals.
The white snake opened its mouth and swallowed the old man's Nascent Soul along with the ice crystals. Then, its body shrank and suddenly shot back.
The square-faced old man let out a muffled groan, and his body was pulled back by the white snake.
Behind him, Qu Ling's face was cold, and there was a white snake wrapped around her body. The snake's long and narrow eyes were extremely cold, and it flicked its tongue, making a hissing sound.
"Crazy woman, what are you doing!"
This series of changes happened as fast as lightning, and the Xue Family only just reacted. Seeing that their Ancestral Patriarch had been plotted against, they immediately shouted and pounced.
Spirit Treasures of various colors suddenly poured out, forming a huge torrent of Spirit Light, and rushed toward Qu Ling. It seemed that these people had been prepared for this.
Qu Ling sneered and waved her sleeve.
A ball of golden light flew out, and turned into a giant golden worm that was dozens of feet long, blocking the torrent of Spirit Treasures.
"Why …" The square-faced old man stared at Qu Ling, and his strength quickly dissipated, but he still struggled to speak.
"I invited the Xue Family because I am not familiar with the Black Wind Sea, and I need a suitable spy. Now that the entrance to the Immortal Abode has appeared, there is naturally no need for you." Qu Ling said indifferently, and flicked her finger.
Suddenly, a "puff" sound was heard from between the eyebrows of the square-faced old man, and a bloody hole appeared out of thin air. His eyes dimmed, and he fell to the ground.
Qu Ling turned her gaze to the other side.
A series of Spirit Treasures bombarded the body of the golden beetle, setting off a series of loud booms. Light flashed wildly, but all the Spirit Treasures were easily bounced off, and there was not a single white mark on the beetle's body.
However, after being bombarded by the Spirit Treasures a few times, the golden beetle's eyes flashed with anger, and it waved its two front claws.
Two crystal lights flew out, and slashed at the two Spirit Treasures.
With a soft "puff" sound, the two Spirit Treasures were easily cut in half by the crystal lights, and their light faded as they fell to the ground.
The Xue Family saw this scene, and they were all dumbfounded.
This woman is not someone we can fight, quickly scatter and escape!
If any of us can escape, we will! "
The long-faced man roared, and he did not even have time to retract his Spirit Treasures. His body turned into a white light, and he flew in a certain direction.
The rest of the people seemed to wake up from a dream, and they all turned to flee.
"Why leave when you are already here?
All of you, stay. "Qu Ling sneered, and pointed with a finger.
The two front claws of the golden beetle shone with golden light, and it waved again.
Two thick crystal lights, more than a dozen feet long, shot out, and they emitted a buzzing sound.
The two crystal lights gently trembled, and suddenly, they turned into a dozen smaller crystal lights, and they slashed at the Xue Family members.
The crystal lights were incredibly fast, and in a flash, they appeared behind the Xue Family members.
"Puff! Puff!" In front of the crystal lights, the Xue Family members' Spirit Treasures were easily cut into pieces like paper.
In a series of miserable screams, the Xue Family members' bodies and Spirit Treasures, without exception, turned into light, and disappeared without a trace.
Qu Ling smiled, and with a wave of her hand, a silver light wrapped around the square-faced old man's body, and he was brought to her.
"A Golden Immortal cultivator's blood and Qi is abundant, and he is a good food.
Don't worry, the best is yet to come. "
The woman looked at the corpse, nodded, and put it away. Then she turned to the golden beetle, and smiled.
