Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 311 No Way to Escape

Feng Mo exhausted all his cultivation at the Dao Integration Realm, and with the addition of the Three Pure Ones Dao Talisman, he barely managed to repair the seal a little.

Although it cannot be restored to its full glory, it is not so fragile that it would break at the slightest touch.

After finishing this task, he sat cross-legged and began to practice breathing exercises, at which point he was in his weakest state.

If Zhao Wuxiang were to return, or if Lan Zhenxin were to discover this place, this righteous and proud young man would perish here.

Of course, Feng Mo was always cautious in his actions. He had long anticipated that he would end up in such a situation, so he sealed the entrance to the secret room in advance.

Moreover, he consumed a precious pill, which allowed him to recover his spiritual power in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Little did they know that the Three Pure Ones talisman was extremely precious. When the Celestial Master bestowed the talisman upon his beloved disciple, he also left a mark on it.

Once the talisman is used, the Righteous Qi Sect will immediately notice.

Feng Mo frowned slightly and noticed that a communication talisman in his Sumeru Ring was restless. He thought something had happened to Yuan Duoqing, so he quickly took out the talisman and crushed it.

A wisp of light flew from the fingertip into the air, and a voice came from it.

Unexpectedly, it was the old Taoist master's voice, "Are you alright?"

Feng Mo obediently replied, "This disciple greets the Celestial Master."

"But what problem did you encounter that made you use three talismans at once?"

"I found a ground wedge in the Demon Capital, but it was badly damaged. In desperation, I could only use a talisman to maintain the seal."

"Oh, that's a good deed. I'm glad you're alright." The old master added, "Your master is here too; she has something to say to you."

Upon hearing that Zhong Wanxin was also there, Feng Mo panicked, clearly not ready to speak to the "master" who had raised him since childhood.

Then a lazy voice came: "Xiao Mo, don't be too honest when you're out and about. There are some things you can't control, so don't get yourself into trouble."

Zhong Wanxin is the current Celestial Master of the Fenglu Sect, a generation younger than the old Celestial Master. She is usually a quiet person who doesn't like to move around much and always stays at home eating, drinking, and cultivating. It's unknown why she came to the Celestial Master's Mansion today.

Feng Mo couldn't figure it out, so he asked, "Master, have you... gotten into trouble?"

Zhong Wanxin paused, "Oh dear, what nonsense are you spouting again? Never mind, just take care of yourself and your junior brothers and sisters."

The inspiration suddenly vanished, clearly indicating that Zhong Wanxin did not want to continue the conversation.

Inside the Celestial Master's Mansion, the old Celestial Master chuckled and said, "Your disciple is practically a mind reader; even though he's thousands of miles away, he knows exactly what trouble you've gotten into."

Zhong Wanxin said helplessly, "I should never have taken him as my disciple in the first place. Now he's practically climbing over my head and becoming my master."

“You can’t blame Feng Mo for this. You’re lazy by nature, and it’s been him who has managed Feng Lu Sect so well all these years. Some of your disciples and grand-disciples are even saying in secret that Feng Lu Sect should get a new Celestial Master.”

"That would be perfect. I've long since given up on being a Taoist priest; it's incredibly boring."

The old celestial master put on a stern face and said, "Being a celestial master is meaningless, but refining elixirs after drinking is? Is blowing up a mountain meaningful?"

"Hmm..." The person realized they were in the wrong and stopped talking.

Seeing her like this, the old master couldn't help but soften his heart, thinking that she was no longer the little girl she used to be, and he couldn't be too harsh on her.

Zhong Wanxin was the daughter of the previous Celestial Master of the Fenglu Sect. Having a son late in life, she naturally received all the love and affection. Later, her father ascended to the Heavenly Realm, and after some discussion, the Celestial Master's Mansion decided to simply pass the position to her.

As a result, he inadvertently became the youngest Celestial Master in the history of the Righteous Qi Sect.

It's a pity that Zhong Wanxin disliked worldly affairs from a young age, preferring to stay on the mountain to cultivate herself. As she grew up, she developed a drinking habit and often caused trouble while drunk.

This truly gave the old Celestial Master a major headache. Of course, these were all scandalous affairs within the sect, and no one dared to spread them outside. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, Zhong Wanxin was an incredibly mysterious female Celestial Master.

Even Yun Yi knew very little about her.

……

In fact, as Yun Yi changed many things in this world, he discovered that the cultivation world was like an iceberg, with only the tip of the iceberg visible on the surface, and the secrets hidden beneath the surface being the main attraction.

He didn't know what kind of person Zhong Wanxin was, nor did he know what the core secret of the Demon Capital was.

In the past, I was always successful because of my memories from my previous life, but now I'm finding it a bit difficult to adapt.

Bai Ze seemed tired from flying, so it stood on Yun Yi's shoulder and gently hooked its tail around the back of his neck, looking quite content.

Yun Yi was quite dissatisfied with this, thinking that everyone else came to the Demon Capital to capture demon beasts, but he had become one of the demon beasts' "mounts".

At this time, the Demon Capital gradually became lively. The sandstorm outside had stopped, and a large number of cultivators arrived here.

Even though they couldn't get a hot meal, being able to scavenge a couple of leftovers, or even find a single grain of rice, was considered a bonus.

Yuan Duoqing and Chu Qiaoqiao's group had this plan in mind. They didn't intend to participate in the fighting when they came down the mountain; they just wanted to broaden their horizons.

Zhuque and Pei Jianjia also led the disciples of Burial Sword Valley to the Demon Capital, ordering them to avoid causing trouble and to go out together to see if they could find any loopholes.

Of course, the faction that reaped the most benefits had to be the Great Wind Alliance.

The Heavenly Sea Treasure Ship was anchored directly above the Demon Capital, with hundreds of demon-catching ropes hanging down, piercing through layers of demonic mist, like a celestial being sitting on a cloud fishing.

The four guardians each led people to capture the demonic beasts, and then directly transported them to the ship via ropes.

Their efficiency is simply enviable.

Seeing the situation getting increasingly chaotic, Yun Yi pondered for a while. The fact that the Demon Capital hadn't made any noise yet indicated that the Overturning Heaven Pavilion probably hadn't been able to find the Heavenly Pillar, and Bai Ze also said that he had never seen the Heavenly Pillar in the Demon Capital.

There must be some hidden meaning, but I don't have time to think about it right now.

Since Yun Yi's acquisition of Bai Ze was purely an "unexpected surprise," he thought that if he could escape unscathed with the little guy, the trip would not have been in vain.

The problem is, how to leave the city of demons has become a difficult issue.

As a Dao Integration Realm cultivator, Lan Zhenxin possessed unparalleled mastery of poison techniques. She wiped out all the poisonous gas and venomous beasts in the Lung Mountain, and then chased after them at an extremely fast speed.

Yun Yi didn't plan to keep running away. After all, he was an ally of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect. If they could have a proper talk, things might still turn around.

Furthermore, he wasn't confident he could escape the pursuit of someone at the Dao Integration Realm.

Bai Ze, with his exceptionally keen intuition, sensed danger approaching and urged Yun Yi, "Hurry up and leave, or it will be too late!"

Yun Yi remained motionless, when suddenly he felt dark clouds looming overhead. Looking up, he saw that the Heavenly Sea Treasure Ship had already sailed above him.

Clearly, this treasure also has the means to find Yun Yi and the little golden beast on his shoulder.

Bai Ze muttered, "Oh no, oh no!"

The next moment, Wen Daoxian and Lan Zhenxin appeared simultaneously in front of and behind Yun Yi, forming a pincer movement.

There is no way to avoid it, and no way to escape it.
