Their mistake allowed a terrible being to escape.

Shi Wuxie was right. The raven that escaped back then was a fragment of the seal that the Demon God broke. Since it appeared first, it would inevitably go looking for other fragments.

Their expressions darkened further as they recalled the cunning and wisdom the crow had displayed during their previous interactions.

This crow is so clever, I wonder what it will do.

"Master, I think we can ask the people in the sect."

At this moment, Feng Jiuyuan spoke up, "According to the elders, I should have informed them of my whereabouts from the beginning, but I was afraid that my master would mind, so I haven't contacted the sect. Now, do you think it's alright? If it is, I'll ask them."

Feng Jiuyuan knew that his current position in the sect was still precarious, so he was very honest and dared not do anything out of line.

"Can."

Emperor Moyu was the first to nod in agreement; he still trusted Yuan Yanzong.

After all, Yuan Yanzong was the divine representative they personally chose. Judging from Yuan Changfeng's previous attitude, he knew that Yuan Changfeng's loyalty had not changed.

"OK."

Having received permission, Feng Jiuyuan happily released the signal used for communication within the sect. "Master, we should receive news soon. Let's wait for the news..."

"call out…"

Just as Feng Jiuyuan finished speaking, the signal he sent out suddenly flew back.

"……Um?"

This situation left Feng Jiuyuan completely stunned.

"What's going on?"

Not only was Feng Jiuyuan puzzled, but Ji Fanya and the others were also dumbfounded. "Is your signal outdated?"

"Are you kidding me? This is a communicator, how could it be expired?"

After hearing this, Feng Jiuyuan was completely taken aback and was about to send the signal again.

"Young Master!"

Then, the group saw five figures rushing towards them from the horizon.

"Seventh Elder!"

When Feng Jiuyuan looked up, he discovered that the person in the lead was none other than Yuan Changfeng, a familiar face!

"Seventh Elder, what are you doing here?"

Feng Jiuyuan was both surprised and delighted as he stepped forward to greet them. It was clear that he was very happy to see the elders of the sect.

"Young Master has been out for so long, why hasn't he contacted the sect to let them know he's safe?"

Yuan Changfeng reached out and patted Feng Jiuyuan's head, saying kindly, "Everyone in the sect is very worried about you."

"It is the disciple's fault..."

Hearing this, Feng Jiuyuan felt a warmth in his heart, but the thought of failing to retrieve the "Book of Heaven and Earth" made him feel somewhat downcast again. "This disciple has still let the sect down..."

"Hey, this isn't your fault. Heaven and Earth are not something we can control. We were too presumptuous back then."

At this moment, Yuan Changfeng quickly walked up to Di Moyu and knelt down with the others behind him, respectfully kowtowing and saying, "Yuan Changfeng, elder of Yuanyan Sect, greets the God Emperor and all the main gods."

"Get up."

Having already met before, Jun Feijue and the others appeared quite calm.

"What happened before was due to my recklessness."

Yuan Changfeng looked up at Di Moyu, but seeing his expressionless face, he couldn't tell what he was thinking. He simply continued respectfully, "Please forgive my ignorance and disrespect before."

"Ignorance is no excuse, and Elder Dean, there's no need for further apologies."

Fan Qiyue, who was always the most good-tempered member of the team, smiled and asked, "Did you come here specifically to see Qinglong, or..."
