Zhang Yuhe was so engrossed in comprehending the laws that he was completely unaware of the passage of time outside.

This day.

Xie Mingyuan stood outside the courtyard and frowned slightly when he saw the gate was tightly closed.

Since arriving in Ji'an City, this newly ascended junior brother Zhang...

Apart from attending one party with him, he hasn't left the house since.

For the first few hundred years, Zhang Yuhe would occasionally reply whenever he sent a message.

However, over the past thousand years, he had repeatedly sent messages to Zhang Yuhe, but they all seemed to disappear into thin air.

Silently.

He even began to suspect that something had happened to Zhang Yuhe.

Thinking of this, Xie Mingyuan flipped his right hand, and a jade talisman full of immortal energy appeared in his hand.

Mother-child interaction symbol.

This is a special kind of talisman, which comes in pairs.

If you crush one of the jade talismans, the other jade talisman will also shatter at the same time.

Even when trapped in certain secret realms, the Mother-Child Sensing Talisman remains effective.

When he first arrived in Ji'an City, he gave another jade talisman to Zhang Yuhe.

When the child encounters danger, they should immediately crush the jade talisman.

That way he can receive the message and rush over to provide support.

However, the jade talisman in his hand is still intact and shows no abnormalities.

This means that Zhang Yuhe was not in danger.

He also inquired with other people and confirmed that Zhang Yuhe had not gone out.

"Perhaps Junior Brother Zhang has just reached a crucial juncture in his cultivation."

Xie Mingyuan silently guessed and pondered.

It's not unusual for cultivators to go into seclusion for thousands of years.

It is common for people to go into seclusion for tens of thousands of years at a time.

But right now, he happens to have something to discuss with Zhang Yuhe.

He is currently escorting a batch of supplies back to his sect.

I originally wanted to invite Zhang Yuhe along, so that the two of them could look out for each other.

Since we can't get in touch with them right now, we have no choice but to give up.

With that thought in mind, Xie Mingyuan transformed into a streak of light and departed.

...

Two days later.

Xie Mingyuan piloted his flying boat out of the market and sped away into the distance.

As he maneuvered the airship, he cautiously surveyed his surroundings.

In recent centuries, the Ouyang and Qian families have become increasingly active.

They not only frequently intercept lone True Immortals of the Dao Sheng Sect.

They even attacked islands under the jurisdiction of the Dao Sheng Sect.

In the end, it was only through the personal intervention of Sect Master Lian Zhengyu that the opponent was defeated.

The hostility of these two forces towards the Dao Sheng Sect has become increasingly clear.

They might launch a large-scale invasion any day.

Therefore, Lian Zhengyu ordered the entire sect to shrink its defensive lines.

Abandon some unimportant islands on the periphery and only hold onto the key points rich in resources.

At the same time, the Dao Sheng Sect began to actively prepare for war, purchasing large quantities of war supplies.

Xie Mingyuan's return to the sect this time was to escort a batch of important supplies back.

Daoshengzong was short-handed in Ji'an City, and the patriarch Song Heguang was away.

Zhang Yuhe was at a crucial juncture in his cultivation.

Xie Mingyuan couldn't find any reliable helpers for the time being.

That means he'll have to escort the supplies back to the sect alone.

Although Xie Mingyuan believed he was quite capable.

In the waters of Ji'an, there aren't many True Immortal cultivators who can threaten him.

Nevertheless, he remained vigilant.

He kept changing direction, flying rapidly towards the sect's headquarters, Yunfei Island.

Just as the airship was passing over a deserted island.

Suddenly, a dazzling blue light rose from the deserted island.

"Oh no, there's an ambush."

Xie Mingyuan stowed the flying boat, took off, and quickly flew to the left.

However, the blue light rising from the deserted island instantly transformed into a massive curtain of light.

It completely covered an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of miles of sea.

More than ten True Immortals, exuding powerful auras, surrounded them from all sides.

Xie Mingyuan quickly took out the Immortal Transmission Mirror, intending to ask the sect for help.

However, there was no reaction on the Immortal Transmission Mirror.

That blue light curtain was clearly not an ordinary formation.

Aside from temporarily trapping him here.

The blue light curtain also has the effect of blocking communication.

Xie Mingyuan stopped, put away the Immortal Transmission Mirror, and looked coldly at the enemy in front of him.

"Ouyang Lihe".

The newcomers were all True Immortal cultivators from the Ouyang family, and their leader was none other than Ouyang Lihe.

Although Xie Mingyuan was prepared, he even kept changing his flight direction.

However, they still fell into the other party's trap.

Clearly, the Ouyang family has been eyeing him for quite some time.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy to pinpoint his exact location.

Moreover, it can also set up traps in advance.

Ouyang Lihe revealed himself, looked at Xie Mingyuan in the distance, and said with a smile.

"Brother Xie, we meet again. It has been quite a journey to see you again. I have been waiting here for half a year."

"Hmph, you've been plotting this all along. Do you think you can keep me here with just a bunch of people like you?"

Xie Mingyuan scanned the surroundings with his divine sense but did not find any new enemies.

Although the opposing force was large, each of them was a True Immortal Realm cultivator.

However, apart from Ouyang Lihe, who is a late-stage True Immortal, there are others.

Most of the others were only at the mid-stage of True Immortal, and there were even a few early-stage True Immortal cultivators.

If this is the only lineup, I want to keep him.

That just shows that the Ouyang family was being a bit presumptuous.

Just then, a voice came from afar.
