After Tiandao left, the two of them used the magical artifacts and the missing person stone he gave them to quickly travel through the territory of Xiyou Kingdom.

The first people they found were Xin Yuanqian and Feng Zhaolin.

Because the two had given them a heads-up beforehand, they weren't flustered at all even though they were new to the human world.

In addition, although they had lost their cultivation after purifying the resentment, they had also learned excellent martial arts skills and were not afraid of being bullied.

With just the banner of the Buddhist sect, they quickly gathered a group of followers.

If Qin Luo and Wu Hua hadn't come looking for them, it wouldn't have been long before they were able to carve out their own territory.

Upon seeing Qin Luo and Wu Hua, Xin Yuanqian was so excited that his hands and feet trembled uncontrollably.

"Sect Leader, Vice Sect Leader, I'm so glad to finally see you! Where are the Junior Elders? And how are my savior beasts?"

Before the two could answer, Feng Zhaolin rushed over, hugged them, and started crying.

"Waaaaah, we were planning to find you guys after things calmed down, but we ended up here for no reason, waaaaah..."

Qin Luo was about to reach out to comfort her, but the sound of her sniffling startled her and made her pull back.

Then he said, "Fortunately, the disciples in the sect all remembered what you said before and carried their gold, silver and valuables with them at all times, so they were not caught off guard."

The two were very pleased to hear this; they had only mentioned it casually, but they hadn't expected them to actually do it.

Qin Luo first handed Feng Zhaolin a handkerchief before turning to Xin Yuanqian to answer her earlier question.

"Sprout and Pineapple have gone to pursue their mission, while White Wolf and ?Shu have returned to the Beast Realm. Everyone is safe and sound, so you can rest assured."

Upon hearing that the white wolf had returned to the beast realm, Xin Yuanqian felt a pang of sadness, knowing he might never see it again, but mostly he was happy for it.

"What the Beast has always longed for is to return to the Beast Realm. Now that its wish has finally come true, will the two young elders return?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Luo and Wu Hua fell silent. Xin Yuanqian realized he had asked the wrong question and quickly tried to make amends.

"Many people go through life without finding their own mission. The two young elders are so young, yet they have already seen the path of the future. It is truly a great fortune."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Zhaolin immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes, it's truly enviable!"

Qin Luo smiled in response.

"You're right. There are countless paths in life, and finding the one that belongs to you is indeed extremely important."

Wu Hua nodded in agreement.

“That’s right, let’s not delay any longer. Let’s find everyone quickly. Once the new realm opens, we might be able to ask the Heavenly Dao for a favor.”

Xin Yuanqian and Feng Zhaolin cooperated perfectly, even though they had no idea where they would be sent.

But they believed that Qin Luo and Wu Hua would never harm them.

Thus, with their help and that of the Floating Pagoda Sect, Qin Luo and Wu Hua gathered all the followers of the sect in the Southern Continent in just over a month.

After that came the east, west, north, and central plains, as for the native inhabitants of the Boundless Sea.

Having lost their resentment and been trapped within the magic array daily, they had long since turned into ordinary seafood—fish, shrimp, and crabs.

The wilderness was even worse; thanks to Ming Yi's antics, there wasn't a soul in sight, let alone a person.

After nearly a year of searching, the two finally managed to find almost all the people scattered throughout Xiyou.

During this time, Meng Po also sent them a message that Ming Zhao had taken over the position of messenger of the River of Oblivion.

They are responsible for fulfilling the wishes of ghosts who have unfulfilled desires and cannot be reincarnated.

Ming Yi, on the other hand, would endure all the tortures of hell before being thrown into the Chaos Land to fight against the demons.

Qin Luo had already made preparations to go with him, but during a conversation with Wu Hua, she was deeply hurt.

"Luo Luo, it seems we've overlooked a problem."

"What's up? You're not going to come up with some new trick to fool me, are you?"

Hearing her doubt herself like that, Wu Hua got so angry that she kicked her.

"Am I really that bad in your heart?"

Qin Luo didn't hear what he said at all; she only knew that her foot was probably broken.

"You kicked me so hard! It hurts like hell..."

Upon hearing her cry out in pain, Wu Hua's previously questioning expression instantly transformed into one of tenderness and concern.

"Are you alright? I didn't use much force!"

"You have the nerve to say you didn't use force? My foot is shattered."

"Oh, really? Let me see..."

After he finished speaking, he picked up Qin Luo's feet to examine them, and saw that he looked so guilty that he was almost in tears.

Qin Luo quickly healed her injuries, then smiled mischievously at him.

"Haha, just kidding..."

Wu Hua was so angry that she wished she could transform back into her original form and kick her.

Qin Luo spent a long time coaxing him before she finally calmed him down, and in the end, they returned to the same question from the beginning.

"Sweetie, you said we forgot something, what is it?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Hua's expression immediately turned serious.

"It's just a matter of time."

"A matter of time? What do you mean by that?"

"Think about it, there are so many punishments in hell, and each punishment lasts for a different duration. By the time Mingyi finishes his punishment, who knows when..."

Qin Luo then suddenly realized

"You mean, given my lifespan, I might not live to see that day?"

Although Wu Hua didn't want to admit it, she still nodded honestly: "Yes."

Qin Luo…

She wanted to be a dutiful daughter and repay the debt of gratitude from thousands of years ago, but fate didn't give her that chance.

Just as she was feeling downcast, Wu Hua suddenly tugged at her.

"Luo Luo, look who's that?"

Qin Luo looked in the direction he pointed and saw a beggar, covered in dirt, with disheveled hair and a limp, tugging at a girl's skirt and begging for food.
