The image of that eye he had seen before suddenly flashed into Chen Yi's mind.
This familiar feeling of being spied on is undoubtedly one of Hyakume Makoto's methods...
"Although the teleportation array connects to the headquarters of the Hidden Moon Sect, I would still like to trouble you all to show your Moon Concealment Tokens."
A voice devoid of any emotion reached everyone's ears.
Chen Yi immediately recognized that it was indeed the voice of Master Bai Mu.
Several disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect took out their tokens, and everyone examined the tokens in each other's hands. When they saw Chen Yi's token, a hint of surprise flashed across their faces.
A true disciple?
In the Moon Concealment Order, the number of crescent moons is used to distinguish social status.
January is for the outer sect, February for the inner sect, and March for the true disciples.
Chen Yi's token has three crescent moons on it, which undoubtedly indicates that he is a true disciple.
In fact, Li Yun was also a true disciple, but his and Song Xin's masters were not among the top in the Qinghui faction and were not well-known.
"What about hers?"
Bai Mu Zhenren stared at Song Xin.
Li Yun immediately vouched for her, saying, "She is my Daoist partner, but due to her injured soul, she is unable to show the token to you, senior."
Master Hyakume did not make things too difficult for the two.
After all, the Hidden Moon Sect was, in a way, his superior in the Crimson Dragon Kingdom.
Of course, on ordinary days, the Hidden Moon Sect does not interfere too much in the development of the Crimson Dragon Kingdom; the locals still call the shots.
If it were a Golden Core cultivator from the Hidden Moon Sect who came, he would have to come to greet him personally.
"Really, it's just one of our subordinate countries, yet it dares to interrogate us," a disciple of the Hidden Moon Sect said discontentedly.
Unexpectedly, Master Baimu was still secretly observing them.
In an instant, an immense pressure descended.
The eleven people were startled.
The person who had just spoken was immediately pressed down until his face turned pale, his bones cracked and popped, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
“I know that many of you were once citizens of my Crimson Dragon Kingdom. Just because you left doesn’t mean you can disregard our rules! Now that you’ve returned, you must accept my supervision!”
The imposing aura of Master Baimu silenced the discontented disciples who dared not speak out.
Chen Yi shook his head. As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. Besides, these disciples aren't even considered powerful dragons.
Qianglong is a member of the Hidden Moon Sect, not a disciple of it.
Even if Master Baimu killed one of them, at most he would only be punished by the Yanyue Sect and have to pay some compensation.
The money didn't even reach the disciples who were killed...
"The relationship between the Crimson Dragon Kingdom and the Hidden Moon Sect is not one of master and servant, but more like that of a vassal state. It is not impossible that the Crimson Dragon Kingdom might rebel one day," Chen Yi thought to himself.
Moreover, Master Baimu is a Golden Core cultivator with a high level of attainment. Even Golden Core cultivators from the Hidden Moon Sect within the Crimson Dragon Kingdom would not dare to easily antagonize him.
In other words, what the Crimson Dragon Kingdom's leadership feared from beginning to end was only that Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Hidden Moon Sect.
Master Baimu knew that his attitude was a bit too harsh, so he added, "Now that the Immortal Trial is approaching, we naturally do not want any mistakes to happen. We hope everyone will understand."
Having said that, he fell silent, as if he had never been there at all.
Chen Yi only spoke after he noticed that Master Bai Mu's gaze had left him: "Let's go!"
He checked the map navigation; his current location was on the northern border of the Crimson Dragon Kingdom, thousands of kilometers away from Xiande City on the western border.
Li Yun released a flying boat and took Song Xin aboard.
The three of them boarded a flying boat and flew towards Xiande.
Just as Li Yunlai had said before, he would pay for the travel expenses, so even for this airship that spanned thousands of kilometers, Chen Yi didn't have to pay a single cent.
This left Chen Yi with no choice but to pray that Principal Ma could find a way to save Song Xin...
Looking down at the mountains and cities rushing past, Li Yun said, "Speaking of which, I used to have a pretty good background in the Crimson Dragon Kingdom."
Chen Yi knew that the person who was "not bad" must be someone important. Even the Zhao family lineage behind Zhao Manjin was probably nothing more than a small fry in front of the Li Yun family.
"Senior brother, does your family also have a Golden Core ancestor?"
Li Yun smiled and said, "Yes, there is, but the issue of the soul is very subtle and cannot be solved simply by having high cultivation levels."
"In the Crimson Dragon Kingdom, soul cultivators are generally considered evil cultivators who are hated by everyone, so they're not easy to find..."
Chen Yi nodded. "I see."
In his memory, among all the cultivators he had met, only Ma Guangzhi, who held a soul banner, was engaged in teaching and educating people.
Such individuals who realize their mistakes and return to the right path are extremely rare.
The probability is far rarer than persuading a technician to take the postgraduate entrance exam...
Half a day later, the airship arrived over Xiande City.
Chen Yi looked down at the city under reconstruction, a look of melancholy on his face.
In fact, after more than 20 days, most areas of Sentosa City have been restored, with only the severely damaged areas still under reconstruction.
Especially in a certain area in the city center, the demon lord once manifested himself as a high mountain in the city, and it is still clearly visible today.
"What happened here before?" Li Yun asked, looking down from the window of the flying boat.
Chen Yi murmured, "A beast tide."
Li Yun was slightly taken aback. "A beast tide? That's quite rare."
From birth to his student days, and even after he left, he had never heard of any beast tides.
"It's a long story, let's talk about it another time," Chen Yi said, looking down at a certain area where a green playground came into view. "We've arrived."
To his relief, the school had fully reopened, and he could even see many Xiande students running below.
The airship slowly landed on the open space of the playground.
There are restrictions in place above the school, but those restrictions are practically useless to Chen Yi now.
He can make the airship pass through with just a flick of his finger.
This scene immediately attracted the attention of many students.
"Who's here?"
"It must be someone from the school board, right? Only they could bring the airship in directly..."
The students who were setting up the exam room immediately started discussing among themselves.
Three figures emerged from the flying boat: Li Yun supported Song Xin, while Chen Yi led the way.
Li Yun put away the flying boat, and the three of them quickly disappeared from the playground.
A sharp-eyed student looked puzzled: "Among those three people just now, didn't one of them seem to be Chen Yi?"
"Chen Yi? Which Chen Yi? Could it be the legendary Chen the Great God from my Immortal Virtue?"
"Are you kidding me? Wasn't Senior Brother Chen selected by some major sect and exempt from the Immortal Examination?"
"How would I know? Maybe they're just visiting old friends?"
......
School of Ma's Office.
Ma Guangzhi looked serious when faced with the three unexpected visitors.
Tomorrow is the Immortal Examination, and he is extremely busy. He finally managed to sit down and rest for a while when he sensed someone visiting.
"Old Ma, we meet again." Chen Yi greeted him with a smile.
Ma Guangzhi's eyes widened in disbelief: "Chen, Chen Yi? Is it really you?"
He discovered that Chen Yi was missing as soon as the beast tide ended.
After making inquiries from various sources, it was only vaguely learned that Chen Yi had been taken away by a major foreign sect.
Su Xin was sent by that powerful force.
However, he still preserved Chen Yi's student status and looked forward to the day they would meet again.
I never imagined this day would come so soon...
