A bundle of golden thread unfolded, and the Two Realms Netherworld Path immediately disappeared.

At this moment, Shi Chun finally felt truly relieved. Wu Jinliang approached and asked, "You're not hurt, so how did this guy end up so injured? What exactly happened?"

He didn't believe that the Master could be stronger than that freak, Li Hongjiu.

"I didn't see clearly what happened. One moment he was full of vigor, and in the next moment, when I shrank my head and looked again, he was like this..."

After Shi Chun briefly explained the situation, he beckoned Wu Jinliang to head to the nearest high ground.

There was no choice, no time to fuss, they had to quickly give Li Hongjiu proper treatment, otherwise, he might really die.

And since they appeared here, it's believed that there are soul capturing bags set up nearby beforehand.

The location of the soul capturing bags was arranged by Lao Changtai according to Shi Chun's intention, set at a distance from the city to avoid suddenly appearing in the city, which could easily cause trouble.

They flew to the high point, glanced around, and locked onto a distant cluster of faint lights, estimating it to be Qiangyu City, and the two of them quickly flew over...

At the blockade site, the sweeping mana wave couldn't spot the target's figure amidst the vast clouds of dust, and feeling a vibration from underground, someone immediately cast a spell to stir the airflow, quickly clearing the dust away.

Then they quickly dispatched some people to search the area on the ground.

Inside the inn, watching the timid and cautious behavior of the related personnel in the image, the Red-clothed Woman felt a bit disdainful.

But later, from Wei Mo's reaction, it could be seen that Shi Chun had run away, disappeared?

Even the severely injured Li Hongjiu was also missing.

Just like that, carrying a severely injured person, they vanished right under everyone's noses. How was this possible?

Young Master Nan, his eyes flickering with bewilderment, didn't know if it was true, only to see in the image that something seemed to be discovered in a hillock, and a master arriving later was beginning to dig.

The masked Red-clothed Woman pondered for a moment, then transmitted a message to Lan: "Notify our people to go and search, and control everyone on site, including the people here, and thoroughly interrogate them!"

"Yes." Lan accepted the order.

Shortly thereafter, a group of people surged in, directly revealing a token in front of Wei Mo, seizing the East Victory party there, including Young Master Nan, and taking them away.

Though Wei Mo shouted a few times, he didn't dare to resist, just sending a message for help before being captured.

After clearing out the inn, the magic artifact controlling the Heavenly Mirror fell into Lan's hands, adjusting the images as she wished.

Seeing the East Victory army in the image being easily captured, the masked Red-clothed Woman suddenly waved her hand, tearing a rift in the void, disappearing into it with a flicker.

After the void rift vanished, Lan looked back at the image and suddenly found the masked Red-clothed Woman gently descending from the sky, already appearing in the image, and quickly sent a message to avoid any misunderstanding.

The previously concealed underground spot where Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang halted was now exposed to the daylight; a pot-shaped pit had been dug on the ground, where the masked Red-clothed Woman roamed. From afar, one could smell a familiar fragrance, but drawing closer, it was overpowered by a stench; the traces of the Earth Escape stopped at this depth, with no figure in sight.

Based on the current situation and surrounding searches, it seemed Shi Chun and Li Hongjiu had indeed escaped without a trace. How they managed to slip away right under everyone's noses was quite puzzling.

The masked Red-clothed Woman, after a long lookout from a high point, took out a Mother-child Talisman and sent a message to Shi Chun: Miss you, where are you?

No response came...

Within Qiangyu City, for privacy in the residence Lao Changtai switched from renting to buying, a new room was specifically arranged.

Inside, the walls were covered with thick white cloth to effectively block the yin energy, and the same was done with the ceiling and floor; many 'Ice Sheep' were placed inside to provide oxygen, and Li Hongjiu lay quietly on the couch in clean clothes.

An old man, a well-known physician in Qiangyu City, sat next to the couch treating him.

Indeed, he was skilled, taking just about a two-hour period to completely stabilize Li Hongjiu's injuries, expected to recover quickly with prescribed care.

Lao Changtai and Chu Jingtang arrived successively after receiving the message; they were gradually getting accustomed to mingling in the Netherworld and naturally helped find the physician.

Outside the house, Wu Jinliang whispered with Chu Jingtang, discussing a young lady in the Netherworld.

Suddenly the inner door opened, and Shi Chun's party came out with the physician, forcing the two to pause their conversation and join in seeing the guest off.

Upon reaching the front gate, the physician turned back to ask again, "Are you sure you don't want him to have his arm completely regrown?"

Shi Chun sighed, "It's not that I don't want to, it's just too expensive. I'm really strapped for cash. I'll find the doctor once I have the money."

Wu Jinliang grinned widely at these words.

Lao and Chu exchanged glances, unsure if the Master truly couldn't afford it or was just pretending.

In fact, Shi Chun wasn't lying; it really was too costly.

Of course, in the Netherworld, this amount of money was nothing to him. He could afford it, but the point was that there was no need to spend such a large sum right now. If he could recover in a short time, he would spend it without hesitation; but if it would take a long time to recover, it would be completely unnecessary.

He wasn't planning on letting Li Hongjiu stay in the Netherworld for long; in a few days, he would send him back to the Yanbao Sect. It wasn't worth wasting this money. With the financial power of the Yanbao Sect, helping Li Hongjiu recover an arm would be as easy as pie for them, and the sect would surely find a better doctor for treatment.

So he decided not to play the good guy and save a large sum of money.

The famous doctor shook his head and left; he couldn't pay out of his own pocket to force someone into treatment. He was used to people avoiding doctors due to financial constraints.

After sending the doctor off, they closed the door and returned inside. Wu Jinliang guarded a table full of untouched Netherworld delicacies and munched away, mumbling that he was just getting a glimpse of the world.

After pacing in the hall for a while, Shi Chun stopped, pointed at Li Hongjiu's room, and asked, "No one will come to disturb him in the next few days, right?"

Lao Changtai replied, "Don't worry, Master. The city has rules and is a relatively stable place. As long as there are no accidents, no one will trespass into private homes."

Shi Chun: "Good, then leave him in your care for the next few days. Make sure nothing happens to him. Also, don't let him wake up. Things about the Netherworld are top secret between us. Don't let him know. In a few days, I'll quietly send him out."

Lao Changtai nodded, "Understood. I'll guard him every step of the way and ensure nothing happens."

Shi Chun turned and asked Chu Jingtang, "Has Yu Xuanbing contacted you?"

Chu Jingtang chuckled bitterly, "Not yet. I estimate the chances of contacting me are slim. I could try to send a letter again, but it's probably hopeless. Maybe we should make some backup plans?"

Shi Chun: "No need. As I said, he's someone who has been selected over hundreds of years. Finding him can alleviate some worries. It's settled. Old Chu, since you can't invite him, I'll have to go myself."

Wu Jinliang, stuffing his mouth with food, laughed heartily. He liked it when the Master had this "I'll handle it" look. It always meant he was confident about the outcome.

Chu Jingtang let out another bitter laugh, "Master, I'm not trying to discourage you, but for things like this, it doesn't matter who goes to ask. It depends on whether he's willing to take the job. If he truly doesn't want it, no one can make him."

Shi Chun: "So the willingness depends on the letter, which means your letter's content is problematic and not enough to persuade him."

Chu Jingtang scratched his beard and chuckled awkwardly, suggesting his own defense, "Many have racked their brains trying to persuade him to act."

Shi Chun shook his head and sighed, "Enough. It's pointless to say more. I'll handle it myself. Come on, take me to see where you send the letter in the Yin Yang Realm."

Chu Jingtang immediately stood up, implying, it wasn't my incompetence; let's see how well you do.

"Huh?" Wu Jinliang, stuffing food into his mouth, was taken aback. He got up, chewing and mumbling, "Why the rush, Chun Tian? No need to hurry. Let's think this through first?"

He had just been chatting with Chu Jingtang about the Netherworld's maidens and wanted to see for himself. His seat hadn't even warmed up, and now they had to get to work again. He was somewhat reluctant and wanted to have some fun first.

Shi Chun questioned him back, "After Li Hongjiu got injured, I fled with him, yet we were intercepted ahead of time. Why was that?"

Wu Jinliang: "How would I know? It must have been because something leaked our whereabouts ahead of time."

Shi Chun: "I know our whereabouts were leaked, but I don't know precisely how they were leaked. This is troublesome. If we can't figure it out, how can we dare to go out in the future? Are we going to stay hidden in the Netherworld forever? What if there's danger again? We might not always be lucky enough to escape. It would be different if we had a master helping us.

Also, the last batch of Death Refusing Incense has been crafted. The goods are at the original location, but during the delivery of the crafting materials, it's very likely someone noticed. Who can guarantee that the batch hasn't been marked? Are you willing to pick up the goods, or should I take the risk? The Death Refusing Incense is crucial for our dealings between the Two Realms. It's a significant waste to use up."

Everyone understood immediately. If they could get Yu Xuanbing, the famous assassin, to fetch the goods, the chances of successfully retrieving the goods would be higher.

With that much said, what else could Wu Jinliang do? He had to suppress his desire for amusement and prioritize the task at hand.

With matters settled, Lao Changtai stayed to guard and care for Li Hongjiu while Chu Jingtang led Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang away swiftly.

After some weaving through the city, the three directly arrived at the Xun Gate transmission hub within the city, reaching Zuoyong City directly through a Xun Gate.

The city also had properties purchased by both Chu and Lao, located in a quiet spot amidst the bustling city. Shi Chun came to familiarize himself with the place first.

Once he understood the environment of the household here, Shi Chun prepared the ink and paper inside, then asked Chu Jingtang about the details of sending letters to the Yin Yang Realm.

Wu Jinliang crossed his arms and listened with his ears at the side, leaning to watch. He wondered what kind of letter the Master would write, having grown up together from the time of split pants. Who didn't know what the other was capable of? Using some other method was understandable, but relying on ink in the stomach to solve the problem seemed a bit humorous?
