Xu Yinglian was speechless.

If actual combat capabilities were to be divided into 10 points, Shushan Jiangxiao would undoubtedly be 10, while Penglai Dongyou, judging from its response just now, would only be 3 or 2 at best.

But if we evaluate based on intelligence, then this fellow Daoist Dongyou is at least above level eight, which is not even on the same level as Shushan Jiangxiao.

If one were to imitate Tian Ji's horse racing, of course one would try one's best to compete with Dong You and one's wits with Jiang Xiao... but sometimes there is really no choice.

"So Fellow Daoist Dongyou doesn't know that person?" Xu Yinglian asked tentatively.

"Not really." Shi Liuli answered easily.

"What do you mean?" Xu Yinglian frowned and asked, "'Not really' acquaintance?"

"That depends on what Fellow Daoist Qiongying thinks is considered as 'knowing'." Shi Liuli said with a smile.

"What are you guys talking about?" An Zhisu asked impatiently, "How long are we going to stay here?"

"If Fellow Daoist Jiangxiao is in a hurry to leave, you can do as you please." Xu Yinglian glanced at her.

An Zhisu suppressed his anger and said coldly:

"I need to leave here as soon as possible, please help me, fellow Daoist Qiongying."

It seems that this Shushan rough man is not so stupid as to be completely useless... Shi Liuli was thinking this when she heard Xu Yinglian ask her again:

"Fellow Daoist Dongyou, do you need my help to take it out?"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, fellow Daoist." Shi Liuli smiled like a flower.

"No problem." Xu Yinglian continued, "But I'm very interested in the relationship between you and that person. Can you tell me a little bit about it?"

What I mean is that if you don’t tell me, I won’t take you out.

"When did Kunlun Qiongying start to care about other people's family affairs?" Shi Liuli covered her mouth and pretended to be surprised.

"Oh, is it considered a family affair?" Xu Yinglian was also surprised and asked, "So the relationship between you and that person is considered a private matter of yours?"

"If it's a private matter, you shouldn't ask about it." Shi Liuli was still smiling, "Why ask again?"

The two of them were stabbing each other in the face, and An Zhisu felt like she understood but also didn't, so she said impatiently:

"Are you two done yet? Is there anything you can't just say?"

"Even if I ask, some people may not tell me." Xu Yinglian said coldly.

"I told you, but some people don't believe it." Shi Liuli said with a smile.

“Ahhhhhhhh!” An Zhisu scratched his head frantically, then he let out a long breath as if he had collapsed, glared at Xu Yinglian and said, “I don’t care anymore, fellow Taoist, please take me out first.”

On the other side, after Chen Guanshui left the cave, he used the Tianji Divine Shuttle to teleport again and escaped from the ruins of Yutingmen at a high speed.

What devil, what ancient city, they are not scary at all - the scariest thing in the world is women.

If there is anything more terrifying than this, it is three women coming to find you!

He became one with his sword, and rushed from the South China Sea to the direction of Tianlou in the East China Sea, day and night, for fear that Shi Liuli would come out and use magic to lock him down.

Occasionally, when he was in a state of unity between man and sword, he would take out the Purple Mansion Thunder scripture from his arms and study and practice it while flying the sword.

Although this Purple Palace Thunder Ancient Scripture is obscure, it is not very difficult to understand because of the annotations and corrections provided by the fragments found in the Fire Yuan Cave at Mount Shu.

By the time he entered the East China Sea, he had already understood this thunder technique quite well, and had some understanding of the Tai Chi Thunder which was the combination of the Nine Thunders - he needed to find a place where no one would disturb him and combine the Nine Thunders he had cultivated so far.

But given my current situation… I know no matter how I think about it, it’s impossible for me to be “undisturbed”.

In this case, Ajing's shielding ability became his only hope.

Even though this guy is not honest, I must find her!

The vast East China Sea was boundless. Without a compass or a mirror to guide him, Chen Guanshui had to rely on the stars, the sun, islands and passing fishermen to barely determine the direction.

However, the closer you get to the Pillar of Heaven, the fewer islands there are and the less people there are.

However, if one relies solely on celestial phenomena to determine the direction, it is very easy to "make a mistake by a hair's breadth and end up astray by a thousand miles." Chen Guanshui initially still hoped for luck, but as he continued to go deeper into the East China Sea and calculated that he should have reached the Tianlou three days ago, he soon lost his patience.

"Su Ming, Su Ming, why don't you sing!" Chen Guanshui complained, "If Ah Jing were here, I would definitely not be put into such an embarrassing situation!"

"If the Sword Master had bought a compass from the long-distance fleet before setting out, he wouldn't have fallen into such an embarrassing situation." Su Mingjian naturally refused to take the blame and fought back tit for tat.

"What compass?!" Chen Guanshui said angrily, "I am a Yuanying cultivator. Why should I buy a compass used by ordinary people? Aren't you ashamed?"

"Isn't it shameful for a Nascent Soul cultivator to get lost in the vast ocean?" Su Mingjian asked back.

"Stop!" Chen Guanshui said seriously, "Don't say any more, Su Ming. Don't let yourself become a natal sword that is not only useless but also loves to ramble and make sarcastic remarks!"

Su Ming Jian: ...

"As for ideas, I do have them," she said suddenly.

"Tell me the news as soon as possible!" Chen Guanshui said quickly, "I don't care about what happened before."

"That's right, Master Sword Master." Su Mingjian chuckled, "Looking at the celestial phenomena to locate the direction, although it's not precise enough, we can still tell the general directions of east, south, west and north."

"Why don't you turn northwest now, return to the coast of Shenzhou, buy a compass, and then recalculate the position of the sky leak, and walk in a straight line, right?"

Chen Guanshui almost vomited blood when he heard this, and said after a while:

"Let's not talk about the cost of your time and energy. Let's just say you got the compass. From Shenzhou to the location of the sky leak, it's more than ten thousand miles away."

"Even a slight difference in the angle on the compass will create a huge gap when reaching the destination. What difference can it make from now?"

"But at least it won't be too far off." Su Mingjian argued, "What if... we find the sky leak in one go?"

"If you can't find it this time, just run a few more times, and if you're lucky you'll find it, right?"

"Run a few more times, wait for Shi Liuli and the others to find me, and then the whole family will go to look for the sky leak together, right?" Chen Guanshui laughed in anger, "That's enough."

"It's all because of this leak in the sky!" He couldn't help but complain, "If the southeast pillar was still there, we wouldn't be mistaken for a pillar if we looked at it from afar."

"Now the sky pillar is gone, and there is only one sky leak. How can I find it?"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a loud cry coming from the distance.

Chen Guanshui looked carefully and saw a big roc spreading its wings and gliding rapidly into the distance.

That big Peng bird... isn't it the one that Qiu Changtian instructed to transform into a Peng bird in the past, and later thought that the Eastern Emperor Realm was outside the sky, and kept hitting the leak in the sky?

He quickly flew on his sword to catch up with the opponent, and after chasing for about half an hour, the opponent's speed indeed slowed down.

Chen Guanshui took the opportunity to close the distance and shouted:

"Brother Bird! Brother Bird, please stay!"

The big peng stopped flapping its wings in the air and turned its head and said:

"Do you know me?"

"May I ask Brother Bird?" Chen Guanshui kept his distance from it and asked from a distance, "May I ask Brother Bird if you know where Nuwa repaired the sky in the past?"

"I know." The golden-winged Peng bird shook its head. "And then?"

"I'm going there." Chen Guanshui said seriously, "If it's on the way, can you come with me?"

The golden-winged Peng bird thought for a moment, its head moving slightly and then stopping, and after a while it said:

"You are going to the Eastern Emperor Realm too?"

This sentence almost made Chen Guanshui lose his temper, but he still managed to hold back the urge to burst out laughing and said nonsense:

"That's right, it's just right for me to travel with you fellow Taoists!"

"You don't have wings, what are you going to the Eastern Emperor Realm for?" the Peng Bird continued to ask.

"To look for my relatives." Chen Guanshui made up a story, "My wife is in the Eastern Emperor Realm."

"I see." The Peng bird actually believed it and sighed, "Then you really shouldn't have... You actually left your wife in the Eastern Emperor Realm and ignored her. Have you ever thought about how much she must miss you?"

Chen Guanshui didn't expect to be lectured by this fool, so he could only respond by saying:

"Oh, yes, yes, I fell into this world only because of carelessness."

"Even if you did it accidentally, it's still wrong!" The roc stretched out its wings and knocked on his head. "Even if you did it accidentally and didn't leave her on purpose, your wife wouldn't be sad?"

"Look at me... I was accidentally abandoned here when my people migrated. I know the pain of missing my people very well!"

I think they abandoned you, maybe not accidentally, but because they were afraid that you would lower the average IQ of the tribe?

After all, Chen Guanshui had something to ask of the bird, so he had no choice but to say:

"That's right, so I have to go back, right?"

"Hmm." The Peng bird thought for a moment and then said, "After you go back, you must apologize properly, okay?"

You bird, are you done yet?

Chen Guanshui nodded repeatedly, and finally he managed to coax the big bird into submission.

So the man and the bird walked side by side, and Chen Guanshui asked again:

"How long does it take to get to Tianlou from here?"

"About three days." The Peng bird replied.

Three days... Chen Guanshui calculated the distance according to this speed and couldn't help feeling ashamed.

It's actually so far off... If there weren't this golden-winged Roc, it would be almost impossible to find the leak by luck.

This world is really a matter of cause and effect, and everything is linked together. Who would have thought that helping the giant Kun to transform into a roc would actually help me here later? It's amazing.

Chen Guanshui thought so as he flew with the big peng bird for three days and finally arrived at the place where the sky leaked in the past.

The leak was like a huge scar high in the sky, or like a dark cloud that could be clearly seen even from the height near the sea below.

It is this leak in the sky that will completely burst in a few hundred years, causing the sky to lose its function.

And by mending the sky, I am extending the life of this world... It is hard to say how long it can be extended. In the past, after Nuwa repaired the sky, she forced the world to continue for hundreds of thousands of years. I hope it can last for nearly as long this time.

As Chen Guanshui was thinking this, he suddenly heard the roc bird cry:

"A Jing! I brought back a fellow Taoist from the human race. Didn't you say last time that if someone came here, I would tell you in time?"

"I told you to tell me in advance!" Suddenly, a figure broke through the water from below the sea and rushed out in a rage.

When she saw Chen Guanshui's face, her expression suddenly froze.
