In response to Ao Xing's threat, the Crimson Cloud Domain Lord snorted coldly and left the Immortal Mist Sect with Cai Liluo.

Qin Feibai was surprised that Ao Xing would stand up for the Xianlan Sect, and he couldn't help but feel a little grateful.

After the Crimson Cloud Domain Lord left, only Qin Fei, Bai Ao Xing, Chen Tianwen, and Qin Zhiruo remained in the Immortal Orchid Sect's living room.

Now that the reason why the son of the Red Cloud Domain Lord wanted to marry Qin Zhiruo has been revealed, Qin Feibai naturally will no longer consider this marriage. However, he is at a loss as to what to do next.

Ao Xing said to Qin Feibai:

"Sect Leader Qin, I have a suggestion."

Qin Feibai was already in a state of utter confusion. Upon hearing Ao Xing's words, he quickly replied:

"Lord Ao, what suggestions do you have? Please speak quickly!"

Ao Xing glanced at Chen Tianwen and Qin Zhiruo, then said to Qin Feibai:

"Sect Master Qin, I have decided to take your daughter back to my Changtang Domain. With me here, that old hag, Domain Lord Hongxia, will naturally be unable to do anything to your daughter!"

Qin Feibai nodded. Now that things had come to this, if Ao Xing could protect Qin Zhiruo, Qin Feibai would have no worries.

Even if the Red Glow Domain Lord is targeting the Immortal Mist Sect, the Immortal Mist Sect has two powerful Immortal Lords in charge, so the Red Glow Domain Lord wouldn't dare to go too far!

However, Qin Feibai still had some concerns, and he said to Ao Xing:

"Young Master Chen just said that failing to make it into the top five would be considered a loss. Isn't that a bit hasty?"

Although Qin Feibai had heard from the elders of his sect more than once that Chen Tianwen had the strength to fight against a perfected Great Luo Golden Immortal when he was in the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Moreover, Chen Tianwen has now advanced again, reaching the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

However, Qin Feibai still had little confidence in Chen Tianwen. Not to mention that the Xuanxian Realm was full of hidden talents, even the geniuses in the Central Region could not be described as monstrous!

Although Chen Tianwen has shown amazing strength, he still has little chance of winning when he encounters those geniuses and prodigies.

Upon hearing Qin Feibai's worries, Ao Xing burst into laughter and comforted him:

"Sect Leader Qin, please rest assured, Brother Chen's strength is not as simple as you imagine. I think Brother Chen is being a bit conservative."

Ao Xing paused for a moment, then said with great pride:

"In my opinion, the champion of this interdimensional war will definitely be my brother Chen!"

Chen Tianwen secretly grinned, muttering to himself:

"Brother Ao, don't drag me into your bragging. Do you think I don't know my own limitations? In that legendary Central Region, what kind of geniuses haven't emerged? I said even getting into the top five depends on luck. And you're telling me I can win the championship?"

Although Chen Tianwen was grumbling inwardly, he maintained a calm and composed demeanor on the surface, seemingly acquiescing to what Ao Xing had said.

Qin Zhiruo, who was standing next to Chen Tianwen, also spoke up:

"Father, don't worry. Brother Tianwen is very capable."

Seeing that things had come to this point, Qin Feibai realized it was pointless to say anything more, so he sighed and stopped talking about it.

Chen Tianwen and Ao Xing stayed at the Xianlan Sect for three days. During this time, the sect's patriarch personally received them.

Qin Zhiruo, on the other hand, was busy reuniting with her parents, because after returning to Changtang Domain with Ao Xing this time, she didn't know when she would be able to come back!

Chen Tianwen and Ao Xing discussed and decided not to return to Changtang Domain, but to set off directly from Hongxia Domain.

After all, the Crimson Cloud Domain is closer to the Central Domain!

Ao Xing agreed with Chen Tianwen's decision and took out a map of the Xuanxian Realm from his pocket to help Chen Tianwen plan the route.

Three days later, Chen Tianwen, Ao Xing, and Qin Zhiruo left the Xianlan Sect.

Afterwards, Chen Tianwen was escorted by Ao Xing to the border of the Red Cloud Domain. Qin Zhiruo held Chen Tianwen's hand reluctantly and was unwilling to let go for a long time.

In the end, it was Ao Xing who took direct action and forcibly moved Qin Zhiruo away, allowing Chen Tianwen to officially begin his journey.

Chen Tianwen arrived at the border city of the Red Cloud Domain. According to Ao Xing's plan, he would start from the border city, cross the endless sea of ​​sand, and then leave the Red Cloud Domain to enter the Flowing Wind Domain.

However, the endless desert is fraught with danger, not only with various ferocious spirits and beasts, but also with countless spatial displacements and overlaps.

Only under the guidance of a powerful immortal who is familiar with the route or controls the laws of space can one traverse the endless sea of ​​sand.

Although there are other routes to the Flowing Wind Domain, they involve a long detour, which could potentially delay things for several months. For Chen Tianwen, who was already pressed for time, this was simply not an option.

Therefore, Chen Tianwen had no choice but to come to the Boundary City to find someone who could guide him.

"Sand Sea Guild?"

Chen Tianwen looked at the plaque in front of him, nodded, and went inside.

This was something Chen Tianwen had learned about in Jiecheng. There was a Sand Sea Guild in the city, and some people there specialized in taking on this kind of guide job, but the price was quite high.

Chen Tianwen currently possesses at least several million mid-grade immortal crystals, so he doesn't care about the price. Upon hearing that someone could lead the way, he inquired about the address of the Sand Sea Guild and came over.

As soon as Chen Tianwen entered the Sand Sea Guild, he saw that the hall was packed with people.

"Seeking partners to hunt down ferocious spirits in the endless desert. Requirements: Great Luo Golden Immortal or above. Each person will receive 10,000 mid-grade immortal crystals!"

"Seeking a Grand Luo Golden Immortal at the peak of his cultivation to help me defeat Liu Wu, who stole my wife. I offer 30,000 mid-grade immortal crystals!"

"Seeking a Golden Immortal expert to exchange techniques on the power of laws, offering five thousand mid-grade immortal crystals!"

"..."

Inside the Sand Sea Guild's hall, various shouts filled the air. Chen Tianwen pushed through the crowd and headed straight for the counter deep inside the hall.

A burly man with a full beard sat behind the counter. Seeing Chen Tianwen arrive, he said listlessly:

"Are you posting a task or accepting a task? You know the rules, right?"

Chen Tianwen shook his head and said to the burly man:

"Excuse me, this is my first time in Jiecheng. I don't know what the rules are!"

The burly man began to explain to Chen Tianwen:

"As long as the task is posted within the Sand Sea Guild, the Sand Sea Guild will receive a 5% commission. That means if you post a task for 10,000 mid-grade immortal crystals, you will have to pay the Sand Sea Guild an additional 500 mid-grade immortal crystals as a reward."

Seeing Chen Tianwen nod, the burly man continued:

"To accept missions from the Sand Sea Guild, you must first become a member. You need to pay an annual membership fee of one thousand mid-grade immortal crystals to the Sand Sea Guild, after which you can freely accept missions here. Upon completion of a mission, you will receive the corresponding reward!"

Chen Tianwen nodded again. This rule was reasonable, but Chen Tianwen wasn't there to make money, so he said to the burly man:

"I want to post a quest. Does anyone here know of anyone who can take me across the Endless Desert? What's the usual price for that?"
