Hearing Ye Feng's words, Qiu Miaozhen and Li Qingyan's gazes towards him turned sour.

However, they didn't say much.

Ye Feng said goodbye and turned to leave.

Before long, Ye Feng returned to the Ling Shui Sect.

Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing were overjoyed to see Ye Feng return.

Ye Feng had been gone for a whole month, and the two of them were genuinely worried sick.

Not only could they not make contact with the communication talisman, they couldn't even inquire about information within the Ling Shui Sect.

Although they knew that Ye Feng was unlikely to encounter any insurmountable danger with his strength, Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing still couldn't help but overthink.

Now, Night Breeze has finally returned safely. The two of them can finally rest easy.

However, Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing had a lot of questions to ask, and the two women surrounded Ye Feng, chattering away.

"Don't rush, sit down and tell me slowly. I'll tell you everything that happened this time," Ye Feng said with a smile.

Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing finally pulled Ye Feng to sit down at the table.

Sun Muqing thoughtfully poured Ye Feng a full cup of tea. Ye Feng picked up the teacup and drank it down in one gulp before recounting the whole story from beginning to end.

As Ye Feng recounted the thrilling parts, Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing were both on tenterhooks, their hearts pounding in their throats.

When Ye Feng explained how they had escaped danger, Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing were overjoyed, their faces beaming with smiles.

"So, you've already comprehended the Water Element True Qi and the Fire Element True Qi, and you're only missing the last one, the Earth Element True Qi?" Jiang Lingxuan asked happily.

“Yes, that’s right,” Night Wind nodded.

"This is wonderful."

Sun Muqing was genuinely happy for Ye Feng.

Jiang Lingxuan then asked, "So, are we going to leave the Lingshui Sect?"

"Yes, that's exactly right."

Night Breeze nodded and said, "We'll pack our things and leave here shortly, heading to the Underworld Plateau."

"Should we say goodbye to Qiu Miaozhen?" Sun Muqing asked.

“Of course we will,” Ye Feng said.

Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing didn't dawdle and immediately started packing their things.

After Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing were ready, Ye Feng took them to find Qiu Miaozhen.

Qiu Miaozhen had already anticipated that Ye Feng would come looking for her. She smiled and said, "You're leaving so soon? To be honest, I'm quite reluctant to see you go."

Upon hearing the words "reluctant to part with," Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing's expressions changed slightly.

The two women suddenly regretted suggesting they go and say goodbye to Qiu Miaozhen.

Noticing the change in Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing's expressions, Qiu Miaozhen immediately chuckled.

"I was just joking, why did you all take it seriously? Don't worry, my junior brother is very devoted to you all, even if I wanted to steal him away, I couldn't do it at all," Qiu Miaozhen said with a smile.

“Of course,” Sun Muqing replied immediately.

Jiang Lingxuan added, "Ye Feng isn't the kind of scumbag who falls for every girl he meets, so of course he's not someone anyone can just poach!"

Qiu Miaozhen sighed and said, "Alright, enough of this nonsense. Junior brother, come with me. I think you definitely need to see my master."

"I do have some questions for Sect Master Nan."

After saying this, Ye Feng and Qiu Miaozhen entered Lingyu Palace and met Nan Lingrong.

Nan Lingrong guessed that Ye Feng was preparing to leave Lingshui Sect, so she did not try to stop him. Moreover, she had already anticipated what Ye Feng was going to ask.

Before Ye Feng could speak, Nan Lingrong interjected, "The Netherworld Sect is located in the Holy City of the Netherworld Plateau. As for the exact location of the Holy City on the Netherworld Plateau, you don't need to ask me. Once you get there, you'll easily find out, because the location of the Holy City on the Netherworld Plateau is no secret."

"At the same time, the Underworld Sect is a very inclusive sect. If you want to join the Underworld Sect, it is not actually a difficult thing."

Is the Underworld Sect very inclusive?

What does this mean?

Ye Feng was slightly puzzled, but before he could ask, Nan Lingrong continued, "The soil environment of the Netherworld Plateau is very special, making it impossible to grow crops. As a result, food is scarce there, and the population on the plateau is also small, mainly consisting of nomadic people. Therefore, in order to recruit talents, the Netherworld Sect naturally needs to actively absorb fresh blood into the sect."

So that's what it means.

It seems that going to the Underworld Sect to learn its fundamental laws is much easier than I imagined.

This is a good thing for the night breeze.

"Thank you for informing me," Ye Feng said with a cupped hand and a smile.

"No need to thank me. Even if you hadn't asked me, you would have found out these things yourself after you went to the Underworld Plateau," Nan Lingrong said calmly.

“In any case, if you tell me now, Sect Master Nan, it will definitely save me a lot of time,” Ye Feng said.

After exchanging a few polite words, Ye Feng took his leave.

Shall we set off now?

Jiang Lingxuan said with great interest.

“Yes.” Night Breeze nodded.

Sun Muqing smiled and said, "I always feel like our trip to the Five Elements World was like a vacation. We've visited every corner of the Five Elements World, and we haven't missed any of the five top sects—oh, except for the Heavenly Fire Sect."

Ye Feng was originally going to the Heavenly Fire Sect as well.

However, since Xia Lie, the sect leader of the Heavenly Fire Sect, had fallen into Ye Feng's hands, he had no choice but to pass on the Heavenly Fire Sect's fundamental technique, the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Technique, to Ye Feng.

In this way, Ye Feng no longer needed to make a special trip to the Heavenly Fire Sect.

Ye Feng, Jiang Lingxuan, and Sun Muqing took flight together and soared toward the horizon.

Watching their departing figures, Qiu Miaozhen's expression turned somewhat forlorn.

However, Qiu Miaozhen naturally understands the principle that all good things must come to an end, and she will likely adjust her mindset and cheer up soon.

Five days have passed in the blink of an eye.

On the vast, dark plateau, a nomadic tribe is temporarily settling down.

The white tents stood out against the black plateau, like dozens of luminous white flower buds blooming in the darkness.

This nomadic tribe is called the Black Tower tribe, and its chieftain is called Black Tower Gangdu Ning.

At this moment, Ye Feng went out with the hunting team to hunt for the tribe.

"Feng, that guy is heading your way!"

A young man shouted into the night wind.

This young man was named Hetaganchar, the only son of the tribal chief and the captain of the hunting party.

With his loud shout, a lone wolf panicked and ran wildly toward the night wind.

Ye Feng, riding on horseback, drew his bow and nocked an arrow, but only took a cursory aim before releasing his finger.

The bowstring vibrated, and the arrow shot out.

The lone wolf that was fleeing was immediately hit by an arrow and fell to the ground convulsing.
