"This... Can the Dragon Palace move?"

Ling Yunzi looked into the distance, his eyes full of confusion.

They already knew roughly what the Dragon Palace Water Mansion was, after all, Qingcheng's heritage is ancient, and there are related records in the scriptures.

This thing is called the Cave Heaven Secret Realm.

Different from the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, it's a mysterious existence, hovering between reality and illusion, and can only be entered through dreams.

In some strange tales, mortals often accidentally enter the Immortal Mansion.

That's what it's talking about.

But never imagined that this thing could move.

Meanwhile, the battle on the river's surface had subsided, with limbs, broken ship wood, and burning lanterns drifting along the rising and falling waves.

The people sent by the Shu Prince Mansion, aside from the escaping Zhao Jie, had all been killed, with three-tenths of Qingcheng disciples injured or dead.

Cheng Jianxin also looked into the distance, remaining silent.

"Ancestor..."

Seeing the old man's haggard back, Mingshanzi was full of concern but opened his mouth, not being able to utter a word.

Chen Jianxin's failure at Ascension had resulted in severe backlash, causing not only his Dao to decline, but he also became half-blind and rapidly aged in a short time.

He didn't tell anyone, distancing himself from the Cheng Family, wandering alone in the streets of Shu, often drunk lying by the roadside.

No one knew he was the world-renowned Sword Immortal Chen Jianxin.

Carefree and unbothered, he lived somewhat freely.

It wasn't until he met the gifted Chang Gousheng that he had the idea of leaving a trump card for the Cheng Family to cope with future changes.

This is how it went.

When Mingshanzi found Chen Jianxin, he could hardly believe it was the once glorious and mighty Sword Immortal of the Cheng Family.

More worrying was that Chen Jianxin's damage wasn't just physical, even his Divine Soul was aging, becoming almost like an ordinary person.

First, he was chased by the Blood Shaman. In this battle's command, his tactics seemed ordinary, not realizing the combat prowess of Qingcheng disciples.

It was unimaginable back then.

"Let's go."

Chen Jianxin gazed into the distance, his face still calm, "The Chengdu Prefecture is bound to face major events, we... must bear the responsibility."

"Yes, Ancestor."

All Qingcheng disciples bowed in unison.

They, too, had noticed Chen Jianxin's aging.

But what does it matter?

Following behind him,

in itself is an honor!

Soon, the severely wounded were carried to shore for care, while the remaining Qingcheng disciples gathered a few intact small boats, heading downstream towards Chengdu...

Not long after they left, several figures emerged from the opposite forest, each draped in black robes, dragon-pattern tattoos etched on their faces, with somber expressions.

The leader was a young Tibetan Monk.

If Li Yan were here, he would recognize that this person looked exactly like the elderly monk seen in the Illusion Realm of the Corpse Forest, only much younger.

He was precisely the Sect Leader of Dragon Worship Sect, "Langwu."

Since being besieged by Shu's righteous path, he rarely showed up, even the people from the Shu Prince Mansion didn't know this old ghost was secretly following them.

Gazing at the wreckage on the river below, "Langwu" chuckled silently, "Well, it saves us the trouble, the lord will surely be pleased."

With that, he raised his hand and waved his finger.

A black-robed figure behind him immediately stepped forward carrying a brocade box.

"Langwu" took it and opened the brocade box.

Inside was a bronze mask, with raised eye sockets, found in the Gui Qiang Ruins as the Ancient Shu Kingdom National Sacrificial Divine Artifact.

He carefully took out the bronze mask, bit his fingertip, smeared blood on the middle eye, and then raised it high.

Whoosh~

Soon, a fierce wind swept through the valley.

Streams of red fog gathered from all directions, the same evil spirits previously suppressed by the Dragon Palace Water Mansion, scattered after being shattered by the Earth Sword.

These red exotic Qi were drawn to the bronze mask, rushing into it entirely.

And the middle eye of the bronze mask also gradually glowed red.

In the darkness, it was exceptionally conspicuous...

........

"What, lost contact?"

East City of Chengdu, the old residence of the Bai Family.

Li Yan suddenly stood up.

In front of him were the Bamboo Forest Six Leisurely.

These old seniors, renowned for years, were also in a disheveled state, everyone wounded.

"The people from Qingyang Palace have acted."

Liang Yu coldly said, "They used the Paper Crane Tracking Technique to locate the hiding place of Qingcheng Sect and brought a thousand soldiers to besiege it."

"We warned Qingcheng Sect and painstakingly led the pursuers away, circling back through the forest for several days before returning."

"Apologies for troubling you, seniors."

Li Yan quickly bowed with a face full of apology.

Qingyang Palace and Qingcheng Sect both reside in Shu, very familiar with each other, so finding the hiding place wasn't unexpected.

The Bamboo Forest Six Leisurely leading so many people away was no easy task.

"Don't worry."

Situ Bo, yet to recover from his old injury, had face slightly pale due to continuous battles, advised, "Those from Qingcheng are all elite masters, Sword Altar is known across the world and not just idle talk, they will surely succeed in one strike."

"Mm."

Li Yan nodded, but felt a faint unease in his heart.

It was already January twelfth.

These days, they had been hiding in Chengdu Prefecture, either creating chaos or gathering intelligence, maneuvering against the Shu Prince Mansion, diverting attention.

Logically, Lu Sheng should have dispatched experts for pursuit; he even set traps with gunpowder in advance to kill a few.

However, none of those experts from the Shu Prince Mansion had shown themselves.

Either they were too cautious.

Or there was a more important matter.

Though Zhao Jie, an Astral Force expert, was there at the River Dam, facing Qingcheng masters, it was unlikely to end well.

What exactly does Lu Sheng intend to do...

Thinking of this, Li Yan grew even more puzzled.

Knock knock knock!

Just then, a rhythmical knock sounded at the door.

Soon after, three figures leaped over the courtyard wall, it was Sha Lifei and Wang Daoxuan, flanking a person on either side.
