Ye Qinglian has left.

But tonight did not end there, the self-destruction of the Yin God at the outskirts of the city aroused the vigilance of various forces.

Currently, only Baihua Valley and the Jiang Family are stationed on the southwest front, but other Holy Lands have also received this news...

The Ruyi Order in Xie Xuanyi's bosom trembled again.

"Someone just died."

Chen Jingxuan's communication was concise.

"I killed him."

Xie Xuanyi was even more direct.

"What was his identity?"

"...Haven't found out yet."

Through his Divine Soul, Xie Xuanyi sent the battle scene over.

The battle was indeed "fierce," and nothing worth investigating was left at the scene.

The only useful thing was this battle segment.

Perhaps Chen Jingxuan could discern some clues.

Unfortunately, there was a long silence from the Ruyi Order's side before a reply came: "Not from the Evil Sect, and doesn't seem to be from Jiangning."

"Just as I thought."

Xie Xuanyi calmly said, "If it were them, they would wait a bit longer before making a move."

Prince Jiangning has already suffered a great loss in the Li Kingdom.

Striking again would surely not be so reckless.

Chen Jingxuan asked, "Were there any other tokens left at the scene?"

"He died thoroughly, leaving no bones or blood."

Xie Xuanyi shook his head and said, "But quite a few remnants of the flying sword were left."

Before leaving, he took a few pieces along.

"I can send Qian San to fetch it, maybe I can glimpse some heavenly secrets through the Roundness Instrument." Chen Jingxuan said.

"No need to waste time, nor lifespan."

Xie Xuanyi smiled and said, "Since this guy came to kill me... having failed this time, he will surely try again. I have some suspects in mind regarding this assassination attempt."

Chen Jingxuan was curious, "Oh, who are they?"

Xie Xuanyi did not answer, instead, he changed the topic, "Zong Bi has been controlled with the Soul Stationing Technique... What do I need to do next?"

"Qian San has already arrived near Lingqu City."

Chen Jingxuan did not press further, "He will take over Zong Bi's Divine Soul, and this City Lord of Lingqu City will live on as a Dark Child of the Book Tower..."

"Zong Bi has an adoptive son, who is a loyal and upright person."

Xie Xuanyi suddenly spoke.

Chen Jingxuan was a bit surprised, as Xie Xuanyi rarely praised anyone voluntarily.

"Yuchi Youde?"

Chen Jingxuan directly named the adoptive son, "The Book Tower had noticed him a while ago."

"I hope Yuchi Youde can survive."

Xie Xuanyi said, "He is a good person..."

Chen Jingxuan hummed in acknowledgement, and softly said, "He will survive."

Then there was a long silence.

After a while.

Chen Jingxuan said, "Enter the South Border tomorrow, take care."

...

...

In the South Border region, miasma abounds.

It is said that years ago, a fierce battle broke out here... the land split open, miasma gushed out, forming a natural graveyard. Almost the entire South Border lacks Primordial Energy, being truly a desolate and barren land, where those Evil Cultivators barely survive by resorting to "cannibalism".

As a result, most communication secret techniques relying on Primordial Energy fail in the South Border.

The Treasure Ship set out from Lingqu City.

Sailing into the territory of the South Border.

If one flew over at low altitude, one would find that the southwest mountains of the South Border are dense, the giant trees flourishing, qualifying it as a magnificent and picturesque scenery.

Sadly, a bird's-eye view reveals nothing... A large amount of miasma pervades the air, as the Treasure Ship raises its Primordial Energy Shield, constantly resisting erosion, eventually stopping thirty miles from the South Border's boundary. Due to the previous "demon-slaying", the Evil Cultivators of the Three Great Sects all curled up in the depths of the South Border, with a buffer zone of thirty miles at the edge.

Where the Treasure Ship hovers, stands a majestic, though quite dilapidated, wide mountain top, adorned with the Great Chu Royal Banner and engraved with the pattern of 'Red Sandalwood Leaf'.

This signifies that this mountaintop has been requisitioned and occupied by the Imperial City Department.

Such mountaintops are called "Zhanjiao Mountain", where the Imperial City Department usually leaves only a few cultivators stationed, without even sending emissaries to guard the mountain... Such "Zhanjiao Mountains" exist in large numbers in the South Border, mainly on the outer edges, and even if occupied by evil cultivators, the Da Chu Dynasty would reclaim them the night before a demon-slaying.

The Treasure Ship slowly descended, with cultivators from Baihua Valley and the Jiang Family ascending, each summoning their Treasures.

Ye Qinglian pulled a Green Vine Tree Root from her sleeve, which took root upon landing, transforming into a giant tree spanning hundreds of feet within a few dozen breaths, with an already developed excellent grotto-heaven within.

This type of treasure is called "Cave Heaven Spiritual Treasure," highly expensive, and only Major Sects and noble families can afford to use it.

To use this treasure, at least Yin God Realm strength is required.

"Young Master Xie, did you bring a 'Cave Heaven Spiritual Treasure' on this trip? If you forgot, you can rest in our Jiang Family pavilion?"

The cultivator from the Jiang Family responsible for this demon-slaying is named Jiang Que, an elder of high virtue and prestige, with flowing white beard, having followed the old master Jiang in the Battle of Poison, undoubtedly the backbone of the Jiang Family.

Jiang Que also summoned a Cave Heaven Spiritual Treasure, a green shining pavilion.

"No need, I can manage alone."

Xie Xuanyi shook his head, declining the kindness.

He was always accustomed to being alone.

Moreover... For this demon-slaying, having such a "Zhanjiao Mountain" was already quite good.

Except for Baihua Valley and the Jiang Family, the other cultivators did not have such conditions, they could only carve grottos nearby using flying swords or similar techniques.

The originally barren and impoverished Zhanjiao Mountain, within an hour, transformed brilliantly and radiantly.

The Treasure's light stayed suspended in the sky.

The Primordial Energy formation enveloped it.

Standing on a flying sword, Xie Xuanyi, together with Jiang Que and Ye Qinglian, looked out from this height, seeing nothing as miasma covered the sky, like dense ink that could not be dispelled, the distant mountains stretching endlessly, exuding a faint oppressive aura.
