Tengshe glanced at Chongjiu, then leisurely walked to a nearby rock and sat down. "No, I'm here to find someone."

"Unfortunately, we couldn't find it."

Shu Jianyue recalled that if she remembered correctly, Tengshe had been trapped in the ancestral pagoda by the Xu family since she was a child.

Could it be that, like Yu'er and Xi Xi, they rely on the power of their bloodline to find their parents?

"Looking for your parents?" I asked, thinking to myself.

Tengshe rolled her eyes at her. "I'm looking for ghost parents. I'm here to find my enemies."

"An enemy? The Xu family patriarch?"

Tengshe shook his head. "The revenge against the Xu family has been taken. I'm looking for the person who sent me to the Xu family's patriarch."

“I sensed he was here, but when I arrived, I found nothing.”

The person he had left aside blinked upon hearing this.

Since everyone's attention was not on him, naturally no one noticed.

Shu Jianyue never expected that he was given to the Xu family. The person who gave him to the Xu family must have known that the Xu family cultivated by absorbing the spiritual energy of others.

"Besides being able to sense his presence, do you know what he looks like or anything else?"

Tengshe shook his head, "I only remember his scent and the special spiritual energy fluctuations on his body."

Chongjiu looked at the central island; the island itself wasn't very big.

There are humans living on the island, but not many, maybe a hundred or so, and they all live on the other side of the island.

The entire island appears peaceful and undisturbed.

But upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that while the island's inhabitants are smiling and talking to each other, their eyes are darting around as if they are on guard against something.

Moreover, their cultivation levels are all quite high, with the weakest among them being at the Nascent Soul stage.

Chong Jiu looked at Teng She and asked, "Have you had contact with the people on the island?"

Tengshe nodded, "Definitely, this person was captured from there."

Both Chong Jiu and Shu Jianyue looked at that person.

An Chuan even walked up to him and squatted down to look at him, saying, "He's quite good-looking, but he's a bit too frail."

"Is there anything different about him that you want to play with him?"

Shu Jianyue looked at Tengshe, clearly also wanting to know the reason.

Tengshe glanced at the man and said, "He has a similar spiritual energy fluctuation to that person."

Shu Jianyue instantly understood; he was trying to fish for her.

“Teng…from now on you’ll be called Kongxuan.” It’s not good to keep calling him Tengshe.

Tengshe, no, from now on it will be Kongxuan. He doesn't care much about names, anything is fine with him.

"Kong Xuan, you've been here for so long, and you haven't found anything except him?" And all you do is play with this guy all day?

Kong Xuan nodded. "If I had found anything, I wouldn't be staying on this wretched island."

There's nothing but sea breeze, what's so fun about that?

Chong Jiu's spiritual power had been monitoring the activity on the other side of the island. Seeing that the people there had gathered together, he looked over there.

When he found out what they were talking about, Chong Jiu's face darkened.

As soon as the oppressive aura dissipated, Jiang Yiqing, who was not far away, was the first to suffer and spat out a mouthful of blood.

He looked at Chongjiu with utter terror.

The people over there, who were eyeing Shu Jianyue, suddenly felt this oppressive aura and almost all of them knelt down.

The only one who didn't kneel was the person who had lost both legs.

They lay on the ground, trembling.

They all thought the people who came were just some nobody, but little did they know they were a formidable character.

If they had known this would happen, they would never have dared to make a move on that woman.

They had been living in this desolate place for so long that when they saw a woman, they immediately wanted to take advantage of her.

Shu Jianyue looked at Chong Jiu and asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Judging from his expression, he seems quite angry.

Chong Jiu patted her shoulder lightly and said, "Wait here for me for a moment, I'll be right back." After saying that, he flew towards the other side of the island.

Shu Jianyue used her mental energy to follow.

When I saw him go on a killing spree, I couldn't help but frown.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Yu Chuan asked as he walked over.

Shu Jianyue withdrew her mental energy and shook her head. She couldn't very well tell him that her father was wreaking havoc over there.

There must be a reason why moxibustion works this way.

Looking at Jiang Yiqing, who was squatting to the side and trembling slightly after Zizhong Jiu left, he asked, "What is your relationship with the people on the island?"

Jiang Yiqing glanced at her and immediately shook her head, "It's okay, I'm not familiar with them."

He spoke so fast, as if he was afraid of harming innocent bystanders.

He was indeed afraid of being implicated. He had seen what that Venerable One was doing, and he was still young and didn't want to die.

Kong Xuan withdrew his gaze from the direction Chong Jiu had left and looked at Shu Jianyue, saying, "Don't worry, he can't cause any trouble."

Shu Jianyue gave him a disgruntled look. "Back then, that's why they thought you were so important. They also thought you couldn't cause any trouble, so they handed you over to the Xu family and left you alone."

"Now, don't you want to manipulate things here?"

However, she didn't intend to do anything to them; she just wanted to know what those people had done to make Chong Jiu so angry.

She wasn't paying attention to that area at the time, so she didn't know anything.

Kong Xuan pursed his lips and remained silent. He was lucky to have encountered them; otherwise, he would have already gone to the underworld.

None of them returned with heavy moxibustion, looking refreshed and not at all like they had killed a group of people.

If Shu Jianyue hadn't used her spiritual power to follow him, she would have thought he had simply gone to look at the scenery and returned.

As he approached, she asked, "What happened?"

When Chong Jiu saw her ask this, he knew she had seen it. He pursed his lips and simply said, "They all deserve to die."
