This time, the time away from Jianping Mountain was not very long; it took about a month for Qingyu, Hua Yuncang, and the others to travel back and forth.

Yun Si Ning, on the other hand, had only been away from her little home for a little over ten days.

Although the time was short, it was very fruitful.

Both the divine authority they obtained and the related intelligence were extremely important to Yun Si Ning.

Seeing that everyone had finally returned, Shen Qingyan, who was temporarily in charge of Jianping Mountain, came forward to greet them.

"Junior Sister Qingyan, how is Jianping Mountain doing lately?"

Hua Yuncang asked.

"Don't worry, senior brother. The Four Symbols Divine Sect has been dealt with by several seniors. Nothing major has happened at Sword Screen Mountain during the time you were away."

Shen Qingyan said slowly.

"The disciples of the three peaks no longer cause trouble among themselves, and those disciples who are disobedient are dealt with according to the sect rules."

"Um."

Hua Yuncang nodded in satisfaction.

"Junior sister, you did a great job. I may need you to work hard for the next period of time."

"No, Qingyan's crimes are too numerous to count, and besides, it is Qingyan's duty to do things for the sect."

"Junior Uncle, you flatter me."

Qingyu smiled faintly, stepped forward and took Shen Qingyan's arm, just like before.

“Junior Uncle, the matter is over. In the future, Master and I may not have much time to manage the sect. Sword Screen Mountain will have to rely on you and Senior Brother Duan.”

"Yes, Junior Uncle."

Yun Si Ning also said.

“Jianping Mountain is still the same Jianping Mountain, and we are still by your side.”

They could all see that Shen Qingyan still hadn't gotten over what had happened before.

"Um."

Shen Qingyan pursed her lips slightly and nodded.

She knew she had to pull herself together as soon as possible, as both Chixia Peak and Jianping Mountain needed her support.

"Alright, you can go in now. Master Lin is already waiting for you inside."

Shen Qingyan said.

"good."

Qingyu patted her shoulder again, and then the group walked into the main hall of Qingmu Peak together.

"Sister Youyou."

When they met Lin Youyou, she was pacing back and forth in the main hall, seemingly deep in thought, her expression very solemn.

"Um?"

Hearing footsteps, Lin Youyou looked up and saw the group of people walking in.

"Master."

"Master!"

Tang Yuan and An Zhen and the others bowed to her.

"We have successfully completed our mission."

"Uh-huh."

Lin Youyou waved casually at them, then turned her gaze to Yun Sining.

“Sister Youyou, I have successfully absorbed the power from Li Caiqi and Hualu.”

"Do you feel anything different?"

"Hmm...it's actually not bad."

Yun Si Ning said thoughtfully.

“I did sense the different emotions represented by those divine authorities, but I didn’t feel overly confused.”

"It's like...it's like..."

She was thinking of adjectives.

"It's as if all the chaos has been accumulated in one place; it hasn't disappeared, it's just temporarily settled down."

"Ning'er, do you mean that all that chaos might suddenly erupt at any time?"

Qingyu asked with some concern.

"Maybe, I don't know."

Yun Si Ning stuck out her tongue.

She recalled what the system had said earlier.

"A brief period of madness does not equate to prolonged chaos; the dawn of the future lies hidden within the established goals."

Perhaps, the system wanted her to endure the chaos brought about by polytheism first.

When Yun Si Ning completes this hidden mission, everything will likely become clear.

"Gentlemen, I have already arranged a place for the meeting."

Duan Tianchan walked over from the side and spoke to the crowd.

"Sister Youyou, let's tell you some of our previous deductions first, and also hear your thoughts."

"Qingyu said."

"good."

Lin Youyou nodded.

Yun Sining looked at Duan Tianchan and gave him a thumbs up.

"Senior Brother Duan, you're really good. You've prepared very well."

"Hehe, we do have that kind of idea."

Duan Tianchan grinned, revealing two rows of big white teeth.

And so, everyone followed him to a smaller council chamber.

"If you need anything, please feel free to contact me."

After Duan Tianchan finished speaking, he left, and Tang Yuan and An Zhen were also dismissed by Lin Youyou.

Then, the second small meeting at Jianping Mountain began.

The guests included Yun Si Ning, Qing Yu, and Hua Yun Cang, a master and apprentice, as well as special guest Lin You You.

Qingyu first recounted the results of their discussion on the flying boat, and Lin Youyou listened and nodded.

After she finished speaking, Lin Youyou pondered for a long time before slowly opening her mouth.

“My thoughts are similar to yours, but I didn’t know about Geng Di’s enemy before.”

"Now it seems that this is indeed very close to the truth."

"but……"

She stroked her chin, lost in thought.

"That divine messenger is the little girl we captured before. She shouldn't be lying, right?"

"Sister Youyou, you mean...?"

“What I mean is, assuming she didn’t lie, then there’s a problem.”

"Geng Di knows that he has enemies in his real world, and that they are very powerful."

"He himself still sent four personal guards here, all of whom carried very precious divine authority."

"Based on all of this, we can draw two very important conclusions."

Lin Youyou raised her head, a glimmer of light in her eyes.

"First, he was originally unable to unleash so much power, at least he couldn't project power comparable to the peak of the Dragon Marrow Realm."

"So, this is a skill he has only recently mastered."

"second."

Lin Youyou's gaze grew even sharper.

"In the real world, he must have something extremely important to accomplish."
