"You're too kind, it was nothing at all."

After Murong Qin and Feng Feifei said a brief goodbye, the master and his disciples quickly left.

"If I could, I really would like to follow them."

Watching the figures of the group gradually disappear into the distance, Murong Qin's eyes were filled with longing. Growing up with her most trusted companions, living a carefree and unrestrained life, was something to be envied.

Only after Jun Feijue and the others had completely disappeared did she look down at the sword in her hand. It was a gift from Jun Feijue during her tribulation, and thanks to it, she was unharmed.

Lord Sir, he is truly the best person she has ever met.

Unfortunately, the matter between her and Dongfang Jing was not yet resolved, so it was not the time for her to leave.

Once this matter is settled, she will tell her father that she will follow the Duke to gain experience in various places.

A voice deep inside her told her that as long as she followed that little girl, she would surely find a wonderful future that truly belonged to her!

Nestled in a mountain shrouded in ethereal mist, sits a vast complex of buildings. Inside the most magnificent palace, an elderly man in a green robe sits cross-legged with his eyes closed.

"Knock knock knock..."

A short while later, a knocking sound rang out in the silent hall.

"Come in."

The old man in the green robe twitched slightly and spoke calmly.

"Greetings, Grand Elder."

The newcomer, dressed in a black outfit, immediately knelt down respectfully upon entering, his face filled with shame. "Reporting to the Grand Elder, we have not found the person."

"explain."

Upon hearing this, the old man in the green robe finally opened his eyes, his clear gaze not at all like that of an elderly man over seventy.

"yes."

Although the old man in the green robe spoke calmly, the intimidating power contained within made the man in black tremble slightly. He quickly said, "We have searched the entire empire continent, but for some reason, the number of geniuses is much greater than in previous generations. Although we have finally filtered through all the super geniuses, we have not found any divine scriptures."

"The reappearance of divine scriptures in the mortal world is bound to be an era of tribulation. It is normal for geniuses to emerge in large numbers. It is not your fault."

Upon hearing this, the old man in the green robe slightly subsided his aura and continued, "But the brilliance of truly favored geniuses cannot be concealed. You have already checked on the Imperial Dynasty and the Royal Kingdom."

"Dynasties and kingdoms, such small places..."

Upon hearing this, the man in black looked up with some disdain, about to say something, but after meeting the old man in green robes' gaze, he immediately lowered his head and said, "Your subordinate understands, and will take men there immediately."

"Young Master Feng will turn fourteen in a year. We must find him as soon as possible."

The old man in the green robe suddenly became serious. "I don't want things to come to the point where the young master has to go in person. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I will do my utmost to find the whereabouts of the divine scripture." After accepting the order, the man in black immediately left.

"Eh, Lord Divine Scripture, why are you unwilling to return?"

The old man in the green robe sighed, his eyes filled with a distant and nostalgic look. "Have you forgotten us, or have we disappointed you?"

The Dragon Lord Empire.

After finding the direction to the ancient empire, the master and his disciples... began their leisurely hunting trip.

The area around the crater was originally the heartland, and in theory, there should have been many high-level magical beasts living there. However, due to the impact of the volcanic eruption, all of those high-level magical beasts have temporarily moved away, and now only the low-level magical beasts on the outskirts remain.
