On the warship, the generals in golden armor were terrified and rushed out like arrows, shouting at Yang Nianzhen: "God, hurry up, let's stop him!"

At this moment, Yang Nianzhen's face was as pale as paper, a mixture of fear and regret, his heart filled with frustration. He could never have imagined that Yu Kai would unleash such a powerful sword. The power of this sword far exceeded his comprehension, and it made him tremble with fear. He secretly groaned, "I would like to escape, but I am locked in such a powerful sword intent. How can I escape? This Yu Kai is so cunning. He deliberately feigned injury and defeat to lure me away, leaving my generals too late to rescue me!"

"Master, is this guy a spy from Asia? How come the fight turned into a mecha fight?" The donkey looked at Yu Kai, who looked like a sword god, with a puzzled look on his face, and looked him up and down carefully.

"No. The Asians have a very different aura, their vitality is disordered, and even the army of servants they have gathered are all short-lived." The old monk frowned and denied it directly without hesitation.

"This kid might actually be a calamity-removing person. Look at how skillfully he controls the mecha, his combat power has skyrocketed. Once his strength improves further, won't he be unrivaled among his peers?" the donkey said seriously. It had long been tired of dragging the old monk around, sleeping in the open air, traveling here and there without a moment's rest. Deep down, it longed for a stable life.

"We can't delay any longer. If we delay any longer, Yang Nianzhen's life will be in danger. Then the Chan Sect will be in turmoil again!" The old monk's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly urged the donkey on. The donkey immediately spread its four hooves and galloped towards the battlefield.

Yu Kai's incredibly powerful sword strike instantly cleaved Yang Nianzhen in two. His golden-armored generals were also wounded by the terrifying force of the sword, their armor shattering as they flew through the air, spitting blood. Yang Nianzhen's soul scrambled to escape his body, dragging its wounded spirit with it as it desperately fled. The blown-away generals, completely disregarding their own injuries, quickly rallied together, attempting to protect Yang Nianzhen's soul. Weapons in hand, they watched helplessly as Yu Kai soared through the air, their eyes filled with panic, and they retreated involuntarily.

Seeing the old monk and the donkey rushing toward the battlefield, the Formation Devourer dared not linger any longer and immediately reverted to its original form. Its body, as vast as a mountain, carrying its imperial formation, it charged towards the battlefield at a rapid speed. An even more thrilling battle seemed imminent.

The old monk sat firmly on the donkey's back, arriving among the crowd almost simultaneously with the Formation Devourer. The donkey's eyes widened as it stared intently at the enlarged Formation Devourer, its expression as if to say, "Who do you think you are?" It raised its hoof, ready to strike at the beast at any moment.

The Devouring Beast showed no sign of weakness, its six wings flapping fiercely, emanating a terrifying imperial might, a resolute determination to fight to the bitter end. At the same time, it secretly sent a message to Yu Kai, "Boy, I can only barely handle that donkey. If things get bad, flee to the Misty Forest. The sages will surely come to your aid."

Yang Nianzhen and others also realized that the old monk who suddenly appeared and the donkey under his seat were no ordinary people. Knowing that they had met a senior master, they hurriedly asked for help: "Senior, I am Yang Nianzhen, the son of Yang Jian from the Chan Sect. Please help me stop Yu Kai. In the future, I will come to your house with my father to express my gratitude!" He was extremely respectful and his words were full of respect.

The old monk smiled at him, then turned his gaze to Yu Kai. Yu Kai sheathed the Moon Spirit Sacred Sword and steadily walked away from behind the Devouring Array Beast, his armor rapidly retreating. He bowed and said, neither servile nor arrogant, "Old sir, we meet again! I wonder why you're stopping me?"

"My friend, I, an old man, have no ill intentions. It's just that Yang Nianzhen's father, his master, and his great-grandmaster are all acquaintances of mine. So please give me some face and let him go!" The old monk said slowly while gently stroking the donkey's head.

"Then old man, could you let me ask him something?" Yu Kai said, staring at Yang Nianzhen who was being guarded by the golden-armored generals.

"Sure, just ask!" The old monk was very straightforward. He directly signaled the donkey to move aside and looked at Yang Nianzhen at the same time.

Yang Nianzhen knew exactly what Yu Kai wanted to ask. Although she was unwilling, she did not dare to hide anything: "Your mother should not be dead!"

"Then where is my mother?" Yu Kai stepped forward, his face anxious, and his voice unconsciously rose a few degrees.

"I don't know. It's said that at the last moment, your mother escaped under the protection of the Fighting Buddha, who was subsequently captured. Your mother ultimately fled into the depths of the void, and her whereabouts remain unknown." Yang Nianzhen felt a surge of joy, but he didn't dare show it. He had longed for Yu Kai's mother's death, but the sages' calculations indicated that she was safe for the time being.

"Isn't anyone going to look for her?" Yu Kai shouted loudly, his emotions so excited that he could hardly control himself.

"We've looked for it, even Daozu Hongjun took action personally, but we still couldn't find it. The endless void is boundless, how can it be so easy to find it!" Yang Nianzhen said.

"Don't worry, young friend. I've also seen the Demon-Suppressing Saint Queen you're talking about. She's incredibly extraordinary, possessing astonishing luck. I'll help you deduce her!" With that, the old cultivator's Yin-Yang Fish Inkstone instantly materialized. The principles of Yin and Yang surged within the inkstone, rapidly deducing her whereabouts. All that was visible was the boundless void, but no figure was visible. After a long moment, the old cultivator paused, looking at Yu Kai, who looked expectant. "Young friend, I'm sorry I couldn't deduce your mother's exact location, but from the results, I know she's still alive, somewhere in the endless void."

"Old man, is my mother in danger?" Yu Kai asked anxiously.

"She will be fine. She has great luck. It's only a matter of time before she returns safely." The old monk stroked his beard and said seriously.

Yang Nianzhen took the opportunity to escape back to the warship, only to see a portal open instantly. The warship rushed in like an arrow, fearing that Yu Kai would catch up. He heard that the old monk also knew Yu Kai's mother, and that he and Yu Kai were acquaintances, so he didn't dare to stay for a moment.

Yu Kai watched them flee but didn't pursue them. Ever since the old cultivator stopped him, he'd known Yang Nian was truly formidable. Now that he knew exactly what had happened to his mother, he felt a great deal more at ease. However, the thought of being too weak to journey into the endless void to find his mother filled him with disappointment. The Devouring Array Beast kept sending messages through his mind, signaling Yu Kai to leave quickly.

He saluted the old monk again and said, "Thank you for your calculations, old sir! I am very grateful, but I still have to settle a friend, so I will take my leave first." His attitude was still respectful.

"My friend, take care. We'll meet again if we're lucky!" The old monk looked at Yu Kai and said with a smile.

"Take care, old sir!" Yu Kai bowed and then quickly flew towards Liu Ling with the Formation-Devouring Beast.
