Chen Yi glanced at the panel.

[Dao Heart lv.2 - Proficiency 380/400]

"My Dao Heart isn't far from level 3!"

He felt much better inside.

Song Xin first found a secluded spot and took out the Pisces jade pendant.

Try communicating with the other jade pendant.

This time, unlike before, there was no reaction.

Soon, the flickering light of the jade pendant settled.

"Senior Sister Song, where are you?" Li Yun's anxious voice came from behind.

Two days ago, he took the teleportation array back to the Hidden Moon Sect, only to find that Chen Yi was gone.

Anxious, he hurriedly took out the Pisces jade pendant to contact Song Xin, but it was beyond the contact range.

So he had to buy another ticket and re-enter the Crimson Dragon Kingdom.

This time, the entry process was much stricter than the last time. He was examined for a long time before being allowed in.

If he hadn't been a member of the Li clan, he probably wouldn't have been able to return so easily.

“We… are fine for now,” Song Xin replied.

She glanced around and said telepathically, "Let's not meet for now."

Li Yun was taken aback at first, then realized what was going on, "Who's targeting you?"

Song Xin whispered, "That Master Yuan Yi from the Guiyuan Sword Sect."

Li Yun's pupils contracted slightly. A Golden Core cultivator?

"Where is Junior Brother Chen?"

"He is in the cave, and it is not convenient for him to appear for the time being."

Is it that serious?

Li Yun murmured.

He had been in contact with Chen Yi and the two from the Guiyuan Sword Sect, and now that he had re-entered the territory, they had probably already noticed.

If he were to be targeted by the Guiyuan Sword Sect, rushing to find Song Xin would likely expose her location.

"Yes, they even tried to smear Junior Brother Chen, saying that he stole the Guiyuan Sword Sect's secret technique," Song Xin said, speaking up for Chen Yi.

Li Yun remained silent for a moment.

Chen Yi had a bad feeling as soon as he got that thing from Su Boyuan.

But he hadn't expected the Guiyuan Sword Sect to be so impatient.

Could it be that what Chen Yi was about to take was very important to Master Yuan Yi?

He shook his head; now was not the time to think about such things.

The most urgent task is to find a way to bring Chen Yi back to the Hidden Moon Sect.

Only when they returned to their own territory did those Yuan Yi Zhenren dare not pursue them.

"You should first go to a city with a teleportation array to hide. We can't use just one teleportation array," Li Yun said.

Half an hour later, he sent another message.

"Things are getting a bit complicated."

"What's wrong?" Song Xin's heart tightened.

"I've learned that the Guiyuan Sword Sect seems to be guarding all the major teleportation arrays. Anyone heading towards the Yanyue Sect will be stopped," Li Yun said in a deep voice.

After all, Master Yuanyi was at the Golden Core stage, and had already risen to the upper echelons of the cultivation world.

As long as he doesn't affect the interests of the Central Court, no one dares to say anything about him sending people to guard the teleportation array.

"Has the Crimson Dragon Kingdom forgotten the prestige of my Hidden Moon Sect?" Song Xin said coldly.

“It is precisely because they haven’t forgotten that they repeatedly try to break free from our control,” Li Yun sneered.

Song Xin rubbed her temples: "Then... what should we do?"

Li Yun hesitated for two seconds, "Although I haven't returned to the Li family for several years, I still have some connections. Wait for my news."

Song Xin nodded: "Mm."

Inside the bronze mirror, Chen Yi listened to Song Xin recount her conversation with Li Yun.

"Thank you so much, Senior Brother Li and Senior Sister Song."

Song Xin tidied her hair up and said, "Junior Brother Chen, there's no need to be so polite. You saved me. If Li Yun were here, he would definitely make sure you don't feel burdened."

Chen Yi smiled but didn't say anything more.

But Li Yun and Song Xin's kindness remained in their hearts.

In this world of cultivation where everyone is out for themselves, being able to make a few close friends is truly a blessing.

Half a day later, Li Yun sent a message.

"Alright, go and use the teleportation array!"

"What about Junior Brother Chen?"

"He can't show his face yet."

Upon hearing Li Yun's words, Song Xin understood.

Even with the connections Li Yun had built up, it was only enough to stop Yuan Yi Zhenren from targeting him and Song Xin back to the Yan Yue Sect.

But once Chen Yi appears, Master Yuan Yi will inevitably make a move.

Li Yun's current status in the Li family is no longer sufficient for the patriarch to step in and resolve certain matters for him.

When Song Xin arrived at the teleportation array, there was indeed a member of the Guiyuan Sword Sect among the guardians, and he was a Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator.

"The Hidden Moon Sect? Name!"

"Song Xin".

"Yes, you can go in."

It seems this person has already received the message.

With the return of the teleportation ticket stub, Song Xin also returned to the Hidden Moon Sect with the bronze mirror.

Soon after, she met Li Yun.

The two embraced each other excitedly.

Chen Yi sat blankly in the main hall, watching the two of them.

“Junior Brother Chen, come out. Even if that magic seal can track us here, Yuan Yi won’t dare to come and demand our people,” Li Yun said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi immediately emerged from the cave.

He touched his neck; the seal was still there, but the burning sensation had subsided considerably.

It's probably because the distance is too great...

"Thank you both."

He thanked him again.

Li Yun seemed to have something on her mind, but she quickly concealed it and patted Chen Yi on the shoulder, saying, "No need to thank me! I should be thanking you!"

Before Chen Yi could exchange more than a few words with him, a simple figure walked up.

"Junior Sister Suxin?" Li Yun was stunned.

Song Xin gave him a wink, then hurriedly pulled Li Yun away.

"Suxin...Senior Sister, is there something you need?" Chen Yi asked.

"Where have you been these past few days?" Su Xin asked calmly.

Chen Yi stated frankly, "The Red Dragon Kingdom."

Su Xin frowned slightly: "Don't go back for the next few months."

"What's wrong?" Chen Yi sensed a serious atmosphere.

Su Xin said in a deep voice, "Our leader was seriously injured in a battle with a True Monarch of the Giant Sun Sect and needs to go into seclusion to recuperate."

"Somehow, this news was intercepted by the people of the Crimson Dragon Kingdom. They're probably up to something again right now."

"ah?"

Chen Yi's expression was somewhat blank.

On one side is the cultivation country where he was born, and on the other side is the sect where he is currently cultivating. Will these two really go to war?

Actually, his feelings for the Crimson Dragon Kingdom weren't that great, after all, he wasn't a native.

But his friends and teachers who had helped him were there, and he sincerely didn't want anything to happen to them...

Unfortunately, his voice is now so weak that almost no one listens to him.

You still need to continue to develop!

"I'm glad you're alright." Su Xin said, then turned and left.

The reason she came to find Chen Yi was because Li Yun had previously said that Chen Yi might have run into trouble and had been left behind in the Red Dragon Kingdom.

If Chen Yi doesn't return soon, she might inform Master Xuanzhu, and she can't predict what will happen next.

Fortunately, Chen Yi has now returned safely.

Her calm face concealed worry: "Without a Nascent Soul cultivator to oversee things, can my sect suppress that Human Emperor's lineage?"

"Both sides are currently in the stage of secretly preparing for war. We don't know when this battle will break out, or what the future holds for us disciples..."
