Yang Yuwei thought about it and decided that it would be good to have more friends help her, so she didn't refuse.

"Thank you, Brother Lan!"

Zi Yue showed a hint of displeasure, and pinched Lan Hua's waist hard with her jade hand, making Lan Hua almost cry from the pain.

"Master, we're friends, there's no need to make a big deal out of this, is there?"

Zi Yue rolled her eyes at him, stomped her foot slightly, and huffed, acting like a typical little girl.

Yang Yuwei snorted, "This isn't a master and disciple relationship, it's clearly a couple!"

Baxia sat on Lanhua's shoulder, looked at the two beauties, and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Two women make a drama, Brother Hua, you're amazing!"

Yang Yuwei used a secret technique, and the thread on her right arm glowed slightly, making her jade arm appear slightly red.

"How is it?" Lan Hua asked.

Yang Yuwei shook her head. "There isn't one nearby. This thread can sense another one within a hundred miles. The closer it gets, the stronger the red light it emits!"

After saying that, Yang Yuwei flew towards the depths of Lingzhou, and the first place she went was the territory of the Seven-Colored Peacock Clan.

As soon as they arrived near the territory, a group of young people surrounded them, all dressed in colorful clothes.

Some peacocks that hadn't transformed into human form also followed.

"That human dares to come back? If Elder Caiyun hadn't taken her in and broken the clan rules, she wouldn't be guarding the seal of the Hundred Demon Scroll!"

"That's right, this Yang Yuwei is a jinx to our clan, causing our Seven-Colored Peacock clan's reputation to plummet!"

"..."

Everyone chimed in, each offering their own opinion, leaving no room for argument.

Yang Yuwei's expression remained unchanged, as if she was already used to such scenes, and she continued walking towards her usual residence.

Lan Hua frowned. Although Yang Yuwei seemed to have a cheerful personality, who would have thought that she spent her childhood being looked down upon by others?

Suddenly, an aura emanated from the far distance—the piercing gaze of a Yuanxiang Realm expert.

"Yuwei, you have promised not to set foot on the land of the Peacock Clan again, why are you breaking your promise?"

His voice was imposing and domineering.

Yang Yuwei looked into the distance and said, "Clan leader, I'm sorry, but my master has been wronged, and I have no choice but to investigate this matter thoroughly!"

The person in the distance sighed, "Fine, do as you please, girl. All clansmen, obey my command: no one is allowed to interfere with Yang Yuwei's actions, or they will be severely punished!"

Yang Yuwei bowed respectfully, "Thank you, Clan Chief!"

The peacock clan members who had surrounded Yang Yuwei slowly dispersed, but a girl walked towards them. She had a pretty face and seemed to be a calm and collected person.

"Senior Sister Crescent Moon!"

Yang Yuwei cried out and rushed into the man's arms, bursting into tears.

This person is none other than Yueya, Yang Yuwei's senior sister. Yueya took care of Yang Yuwei when she was little, and the sisters had a deep bond.

Zi Yue snorted, "It seems that this little girl is not ostracized by everyone in the clan; there are still people who are kind to her!"

“Yes!” Lan Hua sighed.

Crescent Moon patted Yang Yuwei's shoulder and said softly, "Yuwei, Master has been missing for seven days. Do you have any way to find her?"

Yang Yuwei nodded, sobbing, "Senior Sister, did Master look for you before he disappeared?"

Crescent Moon shook her head. "Master has been guarding the Hundred Demon Scroll deep in the Lingshui Mountains and has never returned!"

Yang Yuwei remained silent for a moment, then lifted her sleeves and used her secret technique again.

However, after traversing the territory of the Seven-Colored Peacock Clan, the red glow emitted by the lead silk remained faint.

Yang Yuwei's expression grew increasingly grave.

Crescent Moon said, "Yuwei, why don't we go deep into the Lingshui Mountains and try the place where the Hundred Demon Scroll is sealed?"

"That's the only way!"

Lan Hua and Zi Yue exchanged a glance. "Master, can you still hold on? If not, let's leave first and continue searching for healing items!"

"It's alright, celestial beings don't perish so easily!" Zi Yue transmitted her voice.

The Lingshui Mountains are the only mountain range in Lingzhou, stretching for two thousand miles.

Most of the area is the territory of the beastmen, but the deep mountains are the sacred land of the various races of Lingzhou.

The group arrived at the sacred land of Lingzhou, where a tall stone tower came into view.

The stone tower, six stories high, was carved entirely from a single massive rock and exuded an ancient and rustic charm.

Crescent Moon said, "The Hundred Demon Scroll was sealed on the fourth level. I secretly went in afterward, and there were very few signs of fighting inside, making it difficult to deduce how the seal was broken!"

Yang Yuwei remained silent and used her secret technique again, but the thread remained calm as usual.

At this moment, Lan Hua whispered, "Master, it seems someone is following us!"

Zi Yue nodded slightly, "Xiao Hua Zi, you're hopeless! They've been following us all this way, and you only just realized it!"

Lan Hua scratched her head awkwardly, "No, I already felt something was a little strange on the way here, but I just didn't think much of it!"

Changing the subject, Lan Hua asked, "Master, what clan do you think the people who are following us belong to?"

"The Water Kirin Clan!"

Zi Yue hugged herself tightly, making her two white breasts stand out even more.

Lan Hua asked curiously, "The Water Qilin clan is so concerned about Yang Yuwei's search for someone. Could it be that her master's disappearance is related to that Spirit Lord?"

Zi Yue played with a strand of her long hair and laughed, "Little Hua, be bold and guess!"

Lan Hua asked in bewilderment, "Does Master mean that the disappearance of the Hundred Demon Scroll is also related to Spirit Master Shui Miao?"

Zi Yue patted Lan Hua's forehead and said, "Think carefully about the key points. Connect them to the matter of Tianyuan Cave, and think boldly!"

"Tianyuan Cave?"

Lan Hua frowned. "The black-clad men who killed me came from the Owl Clan. It seems that the Ghost-Faced Vine Mother Vine, which went missing from Lingzhou, is imprisoned inside Tianyuan Cave."

The Spirit Turtle Shell was murdered and refined into the Spirit Turtle Shell. The Zhu Rong Bird Clan Chief was killed by Shui Miao, who then sent people to follow us.

My God, could Shui Miao be a member of the Owl Sect? Could he be one of the Nine Strategists of the Owl Sect?

Upon hearing this, Zi Yue was slightly taken aback. "Little Hua, you also know about the Nine Strategists of the Owl Sect?"

She originally wanted Lan Hua to guess that it was Shui Miao who had taken the Hundred Demon Scroll, but she didn't expect Lan Hua to guess even bolder, directly believing that it was one of the Nine Strategists of the Owl Sect.

Zi Yue's surprise also took Lan Hua by surprise.

Duanmu Zhenghua, an elder of the Duanmu family, once told him that the power behind the Xiaomen was extremely strong. Could it be referring to the heavens?

Lan Hua tentatively asked, "Master, does the Owl Sect also exist in the Heavenly Domain?"

Zi Yue nodded: "That's right, the Owl Sect is a powerful force in the Heavenly Domain, and no force dares to offend it."

The Owl Clan has three of the Nine Strategists in the Heavenly Domain, each with outstanding cultivation. The leader of the Nine Strategists is a giant in the Heavenly Domain.

In the Half-Heaven Realm and the Profound Universe, three of the Nine Strategists are hidden respectively, making their power top-tier among all realms!

Lan Hua was taken aback. "Then why is the Owl Clan known to everyone in the Heavenly Domain, but little known in the Half-Heaven Realm and the Xuan Yu?"

Zi Yue said, "That's because the Owl Sect hopes to use these shady dealings to continuously provide talent for the Owl Sect in the Heavenly Domain and keep fresh blood flowing in!"

Lan Hua exclaimed in surprise, "Could this be the real conspiracy of Tianyuan Cave?"
