"This matter is of great importance. We must find out who did it immediately!" Feng Zun patted the armrest of the seat with a serious expression.

The four immortals sat together, and on the table in front of them was a list of missing disciples, written in vermilion.

Yun Qian's eyes passed over the red names, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Since it's important, let me go." Yun Qian said.

After hearing this, Bai Zun rejected Yun Qian's proposal, "No, who did you leave to guard Yunmiao Palace? Now I don't know what the enemy's purpose is, so it's better not to leave the mountain rashly."

Ling Zun played with a small white porcelain cup on his fingertips, "Let the disciples with some experience go. After all, they have been practicing for a long time and are more reliable than newcomers."

Yun Qian shook his head, "You also said that you don't know what the enemy's purpose is or what their strength is, so let them go and don't add to the wounded."

"With me here, you have a little bit of protection. The three masters cannot leave Songyue Mountain. If the Immortal Head comes out of seclusion, you will have to report the matter to the Immortal Head and discuss a solution."

What Yun Qian said made sense, and the other three masters were unable to refute it for a while.

Feng Zun pondered, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said: "Then do as you say. I will go down the mountain with you and bring a few senior disciples to the human world to investigate this matter. Remember to ensure your own safety."

"You two can stay in the mountains, at least you won't be alone."

Bai Zun and Ling Zun nodded, and Yun Qian naturally had no objection.

So, not long after Yun Qian returned to the mountain, he left Songyue Mountain again, taking Kou Bai with him.

---

A group of people descended the mountain in great force. Feng Zun took Meng Xiang and several major disciples with him, while Yun Qian only took Kou Bai, his disciple.

They followed the last traces of the missing disciple and came to a city. Yun Qian raised his head and looked at the huge plaque on the city gate. The word "Yanjing" was still brand new.

This moment seemed to have traveled through time and space, and Yun Qian stood in front of this magnificent city gate again after many years.

She rolled her eyes and said to Kou Bai who was following her, "What a coincidence, I'm here."

Kou Bai also looked away from the huge plaque, "It's where Master picked me up."

In fact, Kou Bai's memory of the unfair treatment he suffered when he was a child is very blurry, but he only remembers this place.

The white-clothed immortal who cared for the world had spoken and laughed at Yan Yan and picked up the dirty, almost broken child with strange eyes.

Feng Zun was walking in front. Seeing that Yun Qian had not followed, he stopped and turned around: "Why don't you leave?"

"Come right now." Yun Qian responded.

After entering the city, Yun Qian felt a subtle sense of belonging.

Nowadays, the prosperity of Yanjing has only increased compared to that of Yanjing back then. The houses on the street seem to have been renovated and are peaceful.

Walking through a busy street, Yun Qian saw the inn where she and Kou Bai lived many years ago. The inn had not changed much, except that the paint on the door seemed to have been freshly painted and was still very bright.

A group of people settled in this inn. The waiter in front of the counter was already middle-aged. When he saw Kou Bai, he was surprised for a moment: "Has this kid grown so big?"

This guy was the guy who hosted Yun Qian and the others back then. Years passed, and time had left its mark on him.

Yun Qian was equally surprised: "Do you still remember him?"

"Of course, even though so many years have passed, I still remember those eyes fresh, and you and I remember them too," the clerk's eyes suddenly showed a bit of confusion, "Why do you still look like this after all these years?"

This stopped Yun Qian from questioning, she laughed and said, "Maybe... I take good care of myself."

"What maintenance method is so effective? Can you tell me, I will also use it on my wife."

Yun Qian looked mysterious and unpredictable, "Buddha said: It can't be said, it can't be said."

The guy was even more confused.

Yun Qian nodded seriously. We can't let people practice for hundreds of years. That would be unrealistic.

The man took them upstairs. Everyone had a room. Yun Qian was about to close the door when a slender hand blocked the door halfway.

"Master."

Yun Qian let go, the door was pushed open, and Kou Bai walked in from the outside.

"What's wrong?" Yun Qian asked.

"I'm afraid Master won't get used to living here, so come here and stay with Master." Kou Bai closed the door with his backhand.

Yun Qian couldn't laugh or cry and said, "I've stayed in more inns as a teacher than you have traveled. How come you're not used to it?"

Kou Bai followed Shan Ruliu: "That's because I can't get used to living here. Master will stay with me."

Yun Qian raised her hand and tapped Kou Bai's forehead.

The two of them walked to the table and sat down. Kou Bai poured Yun Qian a cup of tea very consciously, "Master, I've been on the road all day. Let's drink some tea to quench our thirst."

Yun Qian shook her head and put the tea aside. She asked, "During your trial, nothing strange happened?"

Kou Bai looked at his master steadily and shook his head for a while: "It's really nothing special."

"but……"

"But what?" Yun Qian asked.

"I just feel that there were a lot more demons in the world in those days. It should be the reason for the unrest among the demons. I told Master."

Indeed, Yun Qian nodded.

"Now there is nothing we can do except follow the clues," Yun Qian sighed: "It's really hard to maintain peace in this world. It would be great if I could live in seclusion in the mountains and forests and not care about the world."

"It's okay, Master." Kou Bai said warmly.

Hearing Kou Bai's words, Yun Qian straightened up immediately: "You can't do it. I just say it casually, without thinking."

"Now that the demons are in chaos, we cannot be alone, not to mention that it is our responsibility to maintain the stability of the human world. We should wait until the human world is at peace to talk about living in seclusion in the mountains and forests." Yun Qian said earnestly.

Kou Bai's blood-stained eyes raised slightly, looking at Yun Qian's eyes full of kindness and gentleness, "Master is right."

Only then did Yun Qian finish the cup of tea.

.........

The last trace they traced was in an abandoned temple in the south of the city. According to people living nearby, this temple used to be full of pilgrims and prosperous, but in recent years, bad things have happened frequently in the temple.

At first, the beggars in the surrounding area died inexplicably in the temple. The beggars died for a few reasons. They either starved to death, froze to death, ate the wrong food or were killed.

No one thought about anything else, until later, the people who died were no longer beggars, nor were they alone. They gradually became monks in the temple, and they came in twos and threes.

The people around him started to panic and reported it to the government. The government sent people to guard the situation for several days. Even with the government, the situation remained the same. The government officers and soldiers could not even find any clues.

As a result, a folk saying gradually emerged, saying that there are unclean things in the temple, and if you get close to them, you will become unfortunate.

Therefore, the monks in the temple walked away and scattered, and no one dared to come here to offer incense. The temple, which was full of incense, fell into ruins.

When Yun Qian and others wanted to go to the temple, a child grabbed Yun Qian's robe, causing Yun Qian and Kou Bai to lower their heads to look.

A sudden force brushed across the child's hand, causing him to let go of Yun Qian's robe.

The child looked up blankly, only to be met with a pair of casual blood-eyed eyes. The boy with blood-eyed eyes smiled emotionlessly at him.

The child paused and then hid in front of Yun Qian.
