"Is that... the Red Flame Eagle Vulture? Someone from the Nangong Clan?"

Qin Yang's gaze instantly sharpened; in the sky, that massive flying demon beast was indeed the Red Flame Eagle Vulture.

Qin Yang was no stranger to this Red Flame Eagle Vulture. Previously, when Nangong Yunfeng from the Nangong Clan, Elder Beilie, and Elder Yue Chan came to Feipu Manor to retrieve Zilan, they were riding on this Red Flame Eagle Vulture.

"Qin Yang, is Zilan back?"

Beside him, Ruan Xinxue's beautiful face showed a hint of joy as she spoke.

"It's not Zilan."

Qin Yang slowly shook his head; there was only an old woman in purple-red robes on the Red Flame Eagle Vulture.

"That's Elder Yue Chan from the Nangong Clan."

Qin Yang's gaze slightly sharpened as he spoke.

"Why is she here? Could it be that Zilan..."

Qin Yang's brows furrowed, and his gaze carried a trace of seriousness.

Chirp~!

The Red Flame Eagle Vulture let out an eagle's cry, flapping its enormous flaming wings as it swooped down from the sky, landing on the grassy field at the edge of the Osmanthus Forest.

Elder Yue Chan leaped off the Red Flame Eagle Vulture's back, standing before Qin Yang, her elderly eyes gazing at him, with a slight change in expression.

From the faint aura emanating from Qin Yang, he seemed much stronger than when she last saw him over half a month ago.

At this moment, Qin Yang's gaze was also fixed on Elder Yue Chan.

Although Elder Yue Chan's aura was restrained, Qin Yang could sense she was at least at the peak of the Innate Realm's seventh layer, or even an eighth-layer expert. The Nangong Clan was truly a prestigious family with a thousand-year legacy.

"Young friend Qin Yang, my apologies for the disturbance."

Elder Yue Chan gazed intently at Qin Yang, speaking.

"Well, why has Elder Yue Chan come to my Feipu Manor?"

Qin Yang nodded slightly and then fixed his gaze on Elder Yue Chan, asking.

He wasn't familiar with Elder Yue Chan, so Qin Yang didn't engage in pleasantries and directly asked about her purpose.

Upon hearing this, Elder Yue Chan paused, her old eyes glancing at Elder Gu You, Elder Lei Tong, and others.

"Young Master Qin, we'll be on our way..."

Elder Gu You and others, being seasoned, quickly understood Elder Yue Chan's intentions.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yang gestured and looked at Elder Yue Chan.

"Elder Yue Chan, feel free to speak; they won't utter a single word to anyone."

Qin Yang said directly.

Seeing this, Elder Yue Chan nodded and did not insist on Elder Gu You and others leaving.

"Young friend Qin Yang, my visit this time is regarding Miss Zilan."

Elder Yue Chan paused for a moment, looking at Qin Yang, with a hint of solemnity in her voice.

"Zilan? What happened to Zilan?"

Qin Yang's expression changed, and he immediately asked.

"Young friend Qin Yang, I won't hide some matters anymore. Many top factions know there is an ancient holy land within my clan, and my Nangong Clan has accelerated cultivation speed thanks to this holy land."

"However, this holy land is peculiar, surrounded by an array that no one can enter. Until a decade ago, Miss Zilan accidentally managed to enter while playing at the holy land, becoming the only person in our Nangong Clan's thousand-year history to enter the sacred ground."

Elder Yue Chan narrated.

"An array? An array that only Zilan can enter?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yang's eyebrows twitched, his eyes flashing with light.

He remembered Zilan had once told him that her clan often asked her to cultivate in a very hot place; could it be related to this holy land?

"Usually, when Miss Zilan enters the holy land, she comes and goes freely, typically only staying for a few hours, or a few days for longer durations."

Saying this, Elder Yue Chan paused, displaying a hint of solemnity on her face.

"However, this time Miss Zilan entered the holy land and hasn't emerged for over half a month. The clan is deeply concerned, but they are powerless."

Elder Yue Chan's voice was tinged with gravity; even the clan head of the Nangong Clan couldn't enter that array, leaving them unable to know her situation inside.

"It's been half a month since she's come out."

Qin Yang's expression also darkened slightly. So Zilan entered the holy land soon after leaving Feipu Manor, and as of today, she hasn't emerged.

Beside him, Ruan Xinxue's exquisite face changed, her clear eyes filled with worry.

"I recalled that young friend Qin Yang is adept at Daoist magic and might know some arrays, capable of entering the holy land to check."

Elder Yue Chan's gaze turned to Qin Yang, speaking.

She came here to Feipu Manor holding only a sliver of hope; whether Qin Yang could enter was uncertain, but even a one-in-ten-thousand chance was better than waiting indefinitely.

"Alright, I'll go with you right away."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yang promptly nodded; with Zilan's life in jeopardy inside that holy land, he couldn't possibly stand by.

Seeing Qin Yang agree so readily, Elder Yue Chan's aged eyes slightly lit up and she nodded.

"Then, thank you, young friend Qin Yang. Regardless of success, our Nangong Clan owes you a debt."

Elder Yue Chan stated solemnly.

"No need; my concern is purely for Zilan's safety, not for any favors from your Nangong Clan."

Qin Yang gestured dismissively, saying.

The Nangong Clan, despite being a top force in the Ancient Martial Realm, held little sway over Qin Yang; his intention to go was solely out of concern for Zilan's safety.

Seeing this, Elder Yue Chan nodded slowly, her gaze on Qin Yang softening significantly; Miss Zilan truly found a good friend this time.

"Time is of the essence; let's go now."

Qin Yang's expression slightly condensed as he spoke.

Immediately, Qin Yang strode towards the direction of the Red Flame Eagle Vulture.

Beside him, Elder Yue Chan also nodded and turned around.

"Wait, that's not right."

Halfway through his steps, Qin Yang's brow furrowed; if he left, what would happen if the Qiu Family, or even the Tang Sect, attacked again?

"What's wrong, young friend Qin Yang?"

Elder Yue Chan asked.

"It's nothing; I've made some enemies and need to arrange some matters."

Qin Yang stated.

"Sister Ruan, come with me."

Qin Yang addressed Ruan Xinxue.

Immediately, Qin Yang and Ruan Xinxue entered the Osmanthus Forest.

Swoosh!

Inside the Osmanthus Forest, Qin Yang made a gesture, and a Bronze Soldier appeared.

"Sister Ruan, this Bronze Soldier will stay here; if any enemies come, you can command the Bronze Soldier to destroy them. Once I confirm Zilan's safety, I'll return quickly."

Qin Yang said.

The Bronze Soldier's strength was not inferior to his, accompanied by strong defense; even if someone from the Innate Realm's sixth or seventh layer came, it could defeat them.

However, this was ultimately not a long-term solution; he must quickly strengthen himself until those so-called enemies can only look up, without even daring to entertain the thought of causing trouble.

"Alright, don't worry."

Ruan Xinxue nodded.

Immediately, Qin Yang commanded the Bronze Soldier through Divine Sense to follow Ruan Xinxue's instructions and then exited the Osmanthus Forest.
