Unlike Ji Fengyao's busy business endeavors, and unlike Shang Xiye's extremely tense life-or-death preparations;

Unlike Hei Xiao, who was anxiously searching for Ji Fenghua while accompanied by Ji Fengxiao, this time it was different.

Ji Fengming traveled leisurely, enjoying the scenery, picking flowers, and playing with birds.

On this day, he finally arrived at the foot of the Dan Sect, at Liuxiang Town, which Ji Fengyao had mentioned. However, the scene in the town was completely different from what the little bandit had described as "a small town, but as prosperous as the capital."

The place was covered in cobwebs and shrouded in a deathly atmosphere.

There were hardly any people living there, and even snakes, insects, rats, and ants were scarce. The air was filled with a musty, rotten smell.

Ji Fengming stood at the foot of the mountain closest to Liuxiang Town, looking at the eerie town with no desire to go in.

He looked up and around, but couldn't see the gate of the Pill Sect, nor did he know which mountain peak the Pill Sect was hidden in.

Along the way, he also learned a lot about the Danling Continent.

It is said that the Dan Sect has been closed for nearly a thousand years. Even if he went to them, they would not pay any attention to him, nor would they believe his nonsense. They would not reopen the sect and send their disciples to help him find Hei Xiao, Xiao Yao'er, and Xiao Jiu.

"Does this young master really have to live in that ghost town?" Ji Fengming scratched his head in distress.

“Master, there’s no one in that godforsaken place. If we stay there any longer, it’s like having lice on a monk’s head, waiting to be caught. The Gu and Lan families are still hanging around our tails and we haven’t cleaned them up yet,” Qingluan said in a clear, childlike voice.

“What can we do? Xiao Yao’er has chosen this place, and everyone will be coming here in the future. If we change the place again, they won’t know, and then we’ll never be able to get together again.” Ji Fengming sighed and walked into Liuxiang Town. “Let’s go in and take a look first. At worst, we can leave the place unfinished and just stay in the Immortal Palace for now.”

"Hehe, Master, wouldn't it be even more conspicuous to place a celestial palace among a pile of broken walls and rubble?" Qingluan's tongue had been honed along the way, and she directly and mercilessly retorted.

"So what if they're conspicuous? So what if they discover the Immortal Palace? Let them come in if they dare!" Ji Fengming was even more arrogant, sticking out his neck and saying boastfully, "This young master will make sure that every one of them who comes in will die, and every pair that comes in will die!"

After saying that, he patted the celestial palace pattern on his arm triumphantly and said, "Little Sunflower, do you think what I said is right?"

“Master, the Holy Temple’s Illusion Killing Array has a time limit. Without a large supply of Immortal Spirit Stones, it can only be triggered once every twelve hours. Therefore, if the enemy does not enter all at once, the rest of the Holy Temple cannot kill them,” Xiao Kui said mechanically, seriously, and responsibly.

Ji Fengming: "..."

What kind of broken spirit is this? Can't you give it a break and let it show off a little?

Qingluan immediately started chirping happily, rolling around laughing in Ji Fengming's arms.

After being bullied by this foul-mouthed master for so long, he finally got to hold his head high today, and it felt incredibly satisfying!

"What are you laughing at! If you laugh again, I'll start a bonfire and roast you alive!" Ji Fengming didn't feel ashamed at all. He raised his hand and slapped the blue phoenix on his chest, threatening fiercely.

Qingluan rolled her eyes upwards—

He has become very skilled at rolling his eyes, a very difficult action for birds.

Master, have you no shame? You always resort to threats when you can't win an argument. Aren't you ashamed?
