"Is this the area?"

Wang Wei looked at the hand-painted map in Huo Feng's hand. The pattern on it was crooked, as if it was scribbled on. The ink was of varying thickness and there were traces of smudges.

"There is absolutely no problem with this map. This is the clue given by Fuyuan Youshi, although this map is a bit...old." Yuan Xiang explained, "This map was drawn when the manor was sold to the first owner. Now this map can be regarded as an antique. To be more precise, it is an early replica of an antique."

Before they knew it, they had walked into a forest. It was already very easy to see the houses, small buildings and rivers from the map, but now that they had walked into the forest, it was difficult to distinguish them.

The sky was gloomy today. Although there was an almost invisible barrier between the sea world and the mortal world, the chilly wind pierced through the barrier like a sharp sword, blowing the thick water vapor to this border area.

The trees in this area benefit the most. Each one of them grows tall and straight, interweaving into a quiet and profound world undisturbed by the outside world.

Congxing Manor is located in the eastern part of the deep forest.

"Next, we don't need the map anymore." Wang Wei signaled Huo Feng to put away the map, and then pointed in a direction, "That's the east. As long as we keep walking in that direction, we will find it."

The enemy they face this time is unknown. Wang is worried that the scene will be complicated and chaotic, and the fog is invading, which is not suitable for mortals to stay for a long time, so he arranges for Song Zuoru to stay.

Song Zuoru was originally from Fuyuan. She had never returned since she left to look for A-Lan. Now that she was back again, there was still no news about A-Lan, and her heart was aching again.

However, this time she was no longer alone. Seeing these friends from all walks of life willing to help her, her heart was filled with more hope than before.

She didn't want to avoid going home anymore. It was time to go back and visit her home after more than ten years.

Wang Wei specifically asked Bai Tang to stay with him. Although Bai Tang really wanted to see Ah Diao and Xiao Yu, there were already so many people taking care of them at the moment, and it would be completely unnecessary for him to go there alone.

He saw that Zuo Niang was also in a low mood, so he thought it would be a good idea to stay and take care of her, and take care of the logistics when everyone came back.

We will see each other sooner or later anyway, so why bother about this moment?

Bai Tang took out the notebook he bought at a roadside stall and opened the pages. There was already a lot of writing and drawing in it, mainly drawings - doodles of a dog with wings, a white cat with a dark back and... a small fish with the word "肆" written on the fish's head.

On the You family's side, You Shuguan, the person who had received Yuan Xiang's news and was responsible for finding clues about A Lan, had gone out to collect information. It was said that he had been gone for several months and had not returned yet.

Therefore, when he went back to buy the map this time, Yuan Xiang asked another person from the You family to investigate the matter.

Wang Wei originally did not intend to bring Jun Zhao and Yuan Xiang, but the two insisted on coming. One wanted to see who was behind the incident and make a fuss about it. The other wanted to find Du Ximiao and ask her the truth in person, what was the meaning of driving him away before.

Wang Wei naturally wouldn't say anything to persuade them, because everyone has their own destiny and she didn't want to get involved any more.

The secret passage under the ancient tree is deep, narrow and long, with no end in sight.

Du Ximiao blew up the fire stick and could only see within a distance of less than ten feet. All around him were various vines intertwined and intersected. Perhaps because of the mechanism, a path was cracked in the middle.

Although they didn't know where this road led to, they had no other way to go.

"Are you all okay?" Du Ximiao saw nothing unusual in front of him, so he turned to look at the people behind him.

The firelight came closer, illuminating the surroundings. Du Yunyi shook her head, and Minghao helped her to slowly stand up.

Then, the three of them went to check on A Diao's condition.

"A Diao, A Diao...how are you?" After calling him several times, A Diao still didn't move, as if he was stunned by the roar just now.

"Who is that person? He came here with murderous intent... Have you offended anyone before? Could he be someone sent by Du Ye?"

The three of them squatted beside Ah Diao and fell into deep thought. Du Ximiao first gave a direction.

"Ha, just him?" Du Yunyi sneered coldly at first, then became a little serious. She stood up and said, "Just him...just him...would he ask his maternal relatives, someone from the An family, to come to help him?"

Du Ximiao didn't understand this. She lowered her head and felt Ah Diao's breath. Although it was weak, it was still there.

"I don't think they are from Lin'an Palace." Ming Hao also stood up. "As far as I know, there are only two forces in Lin'an Palace now. One is the main hall managed by You Yunxian, which belongs to the orthodox sect. The other... is currently the rebels who are still using the banner of Lin'an Palace. They don't listen to Master You, but Master You is kind-hearted and didn't kill them. He just drove them down the mountain. Those tokens couldn't be taken back, so they were recast. So the Lin'an Palace disciples who have the old tokens are no longer orthodox disciples."

"No wonder!" Du Ximiao suddenly stood up, his eyes went dark, and Du Yunyi quickly helped him up.

"Be careful!"

She slowed down, smiled at Du Yunyi, and continued, "I met many disciples of Lin'an Palace along the way. They looked ferocious and scary. I didn't expect that these people were so reckless and stirring up trouble just to discredit Lin'an Palace!"

"I think... that's not necessarily the case!" Ah Diao struggled to get up. "I heard most of what you said just now, but I'm really dizzy and don't have the energy to reply to you."

"The people of the Immortal Sect today are no longer worthy of their positions. Just like us demons, they are still a long way from ascending to become gods!"

Ah Diao's eyes glowed with an eerie light, and his words were full of disdain for the monk disciples.

Perhaps it was because they had been getting along too easily during this period, causing everyone to forget that she was originally the ferocious beast Gu Diao in the wilderness.

"They just don't deserve it! Let's not talk about those depressing people. This topic is not auspicious at all. Let me help you up first." Du Ximiao said.

She has been protected by such ferocious beasts countless times. In her heart, no immortal cultivator can compare to this demon from the wilderness.

Whenever faced with a crisis, Ah Diao would be able to spread her strong and sturdy huge wings in time to protect Du Ximiao under her wings. Even when faced with violent storms, these wings full of hostility were her biggest safe haven.

There is no difference between demons, gods, and cultivators in her eyes.

"Where is Xiaoyu?" asked A Diao.

Du Ximiao was shocked, she had always thought Xiaoyu was lying next to her.

As a result, when I lit the light again, I saw that it was just a protruding vine and a shadow. Where did the fish come from?

"Listen to me first!" Ming Hao interrupted their emotions, "I didn't have time to rescue Xiaoyu... The situation at that time was too critical. If the secret passage was discovered, we would all die! I only had time to save you..." Her voice became smaller and smaller, and she lacked confidence.

"So, you can just leave her alone?" Ah Diao's face darkened instantly. She didn't blame Ming Hao, she just hated herself, why was she so shocked by the spiritual power from that voice that she had no power to resist?

Where did that power come from? She felt more and more familiar with it. The last time she was oppressed like this was when Wang was trying to subdue the three of them...

"I'm sorry, I'm now--" Ming Hao apologized. She was about to go upstairs to look for it, but was interrupted by A Diao.

"Not good!" Ah Diao shouted, "The person coming is a god!"
