Central Great World, Southern Domain.

At the boundary of the territory of the three major two-star sects, located at a village called Little Wang Village, in the southernmost part of the Lingxiao Sect.

Three Core Formation Masters, Shang Daocheng, Ying Wujiu, and Chu Kuangge, have been stationed here for over ten days.

Besides the three of them, each of the three major cultivation families in the Southern Domain has also left a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator here to wait.

The second team entered this newly discovered teleportation portal thirteen days ago, and according to the agreement between both parties, someone will return to report back in seventeen days, regardless of any discoveries.

Suddenly, a sharp sound of something piercing through the sky came from the southwest direction.

Sitting in meditation beneath a large tree, Shang Daocheng, Ying Wujiu, and Chu Kuangge opened their eyes upon hearing this sound.

The three elderly late-stage Foundation Establishment members from the Zhong, Feng, and He families also looked towards that direction.

Soon, the three Foundation Establishment cultivators from the three major cultivation families felt a pang in their hearts as they sensed a tremendous pressure surging towards them.

Shang Daocheng, Ying Wujiu, and Chu Kuangge furrowed their brows slightly.

The person approaching was a Core Formation expert and appeared to be very angry, exuding a heavy killing intent.

However, as Core Formation experts themselves, the three did not take the approaching person seriously, especially since they were now part of an allied camp and this was the territory of the three two-star sects of the Southern Domain. Who would dare cause trouble here?

Soon, Chu Kuangge's expression changed slightly, and he looked over in surprise and asked, "Is that Junior Sister Li Yang?"

"Senior Brother Chu."

A charming and melodious voice responded, but within that charm was a trace of coldness and killing intent, clearly showing that the speaker was in a very unpleasant mood.

Everyone relaxed.

Since the person was Fairy Li Yang, there was no need to worry.

However, they all felt secretly curious.

Judging by Fairy Li Yang's aggressive demeanor, something significant seemed to have happened.

As they were wondering, a Spirit Boat suddenly appeared in their sight.

Soon, the Spirit Boat hovered near them. At its forefront stood a young woman dressed in a purple silk dress, with fair skin and beautiful looks, and a pair of alluring eyes, prompting thoughts of fantasy at first glance.

This person was none other than the only female Core Formation cultivator of the Flame Moon Sect, Li Yang, famously known as Master Li Yang, also called Fairy Li Yang.

Behind her was a couple, a handsome young man and a beautiful young woman. Though they looked young, the man was handsome and elegant, with red lips and white teeth, a fair-faced young scholar; the woman had a graceful and enchanting figure, with seductive charm written all over her eyebrows. Although she had less celestial grace compared to Master Li Yang, she was still an exquisite beauty that male cultivators couldn't take their eyes off.

These two were Fairy Li Yang's two true disciples, a pair of cultivation partners at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Everyone saw not only Fairy Li Yang herself but also her pair of true disciples, which deepened their curiosity.

Chu Kuangge asked, "Junior Sister Li Yang, what happened?"

Fairy Li Yang's face was dark and her gaze was sharp as she stared at the teleportation portal, asking, "Senior Brother Chu, is there still a restriction on this teleportation portal?"

Chu Kuangge nodded and said, "Yes, over the past few days, we've jointly researched it several times. To break the restriction on this teleportation portal, it's likely only those at the Divinity Transformation Stage or even Mahayana Realm can succeed."

Fairy Li Yang's expression changed, frowning, "Is it that troublesome?"

Chu Kuangge nodded with a wry smile.

Shang Daocheng asked, "Master Li Yang, looking at your fierce demeanor, what exactly happened?"

Ying Wujiu also asked, "Yes, the three of us were recuperating, but you woke us up, there must be an explanation."

Li Yang glanced at him and snorted, "Ying Wujiu, are you looking for a fight? Do you even deserve an explanation from me?"

Ying Wujiu was furious, "Li Yang, what do you mean?"

Fairy Li Yang snorted and ignored him, turning to Shang Daocheng, "Senior Brother Shang, my two disciples wish to explore inside, is that possible?"

Shang Daocheng glanced at Fairy Li Yang's two disciples, then back at Master Li Yang, pondering for a moment, said, "Why not? But be mindful that this portal has extremely strong spatial turbulence pressure, and without the defensive escort of a Spirit Ship, there might be danger."

Fairy Li Yang thanked, "Thanks, Senior Brother Shang, though my Spirit Boat doesn't match the defensive effectiveness of a Spirit Ship, it's not bad. Plus, with my Mixed Element Bell in their hands, they should be able to pass through this spatial portal."

Everyone's expressions changed sharply.

Chu Kuangge couldn't help but say, "Junior Sister Li Yang, you even let them take the Mixed Element Bell?"

Master Li Yang said, "Yes, they have an important task to complete over there."

Chu Kuangge's heart stirred, thinking of the Flame Moon Sect team exploring the unknown region, among whom was Xiang Yuncong. He instantly had a guess, and his expression changed. He transmitted a message, "Junior Sister Li Yang, has something gone wrong with the team?"

Master Li Yang didn't look at him, but she answered in the same manner, "Yes, Xiang Yuncong is dead."

Chu Kuangge's expression changed drastically.

Even though he was a Core Formation Master with excellent composure, he was shocked at this news.

Xiang Yuncong was a very outstanding disciple of this generation in the Flame Moon Sect and a main disciple of the chief disciple.

Although there were rumors in recent years about his messy relationship with Junior Sister Li Yang, that was their personal life, and the sect wouldn't interfere much. Moreover, in the Cultivation World, it's not uncommon for people to cooperate for cultivation and be cultivation partners.

As one of the elites of the younger generation in the Flame Moon Sect, Xiang Yuncong's death during the exploration of the unknown region was indeed a significant loss for the Flame Moon Sect.

No wonder Junior Sister Li Yang hurried over with such killing intent; it turns out her beloved had died.

Shang Daocheng and Ying Wujiu noticed them exchanging transmitted messages and furrowed their brows slightly. When they saw Chu Kuangge's expression change drastically, they exchanged glances.

Combining Fairy Li Yang's fierce arrival, they vaguely guessed the general situation.

Surely a disciple of the Flame Moon Sect had an accident.

It's highly possible a disciple has perished, and since Master Li Yang had established a blood contract with them, she could know immediately once they perished.

Both of them felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

Especially Shang Daocheng.

Lingxiao Sect's disciples have been in that unknown world for almost two months, but no message has been reported back yet.

The disciples of the Great Dao Sect, Flame Moon Sect, and the three major cultivation families went over ten days ago, they should have reached that place. If the Lingxiao Sect's disciples were alive, they should have reported back the situation there.

But until now, no one has returned.

Are they unable to return?

The unease in Shang Daocheng's heart grew stronger.

Something major must have happened.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so long with no one coming back.

Was the Spirit Ship destroyed?

Or did something happen to all the Lingxiao Sect disciples?

What kind of unknown place is it?

For a moment, anxious possibilities sprouted in Shang Daocheng's mind.

At that moment, Master Li Yang spoke to the two disciples, "Bai Yu, Jin Ling, this is an important task for you, handle it well and make sure to stay safe. Don't take unnecessary risks, report back with the situation if it can't be done."

"Yes, Master!"

The pair, like Golden Boy and Jade Girl, responded immediately.

"Go ahead," Master Li Yang waved her hand.

Standing on the Spirit Boat, Bai Yu steered the boat, nodded to everyone, and then flew into the teleportation portal, disappearing in an instant.
