Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 366 Yixian Lake

Zhao Wuxiang scrutinized the scenery before him, but unfortunately, he couldn't find the entrance to Yixian Lake at all.

He found it strange; the envoy had clearly torn open a corner of the screen right here, so why was his method completely ineffective?

The fortune teller behind him sneered, "Could it be that you're still not fully awake, unable to even find an entrance?"

Zhao Wuxiang angrily retorted, "I only fell for Yun Yi's treacherous scheme, I haven't turned into a fool!"

"You're just picking at the air; you look no different from an idiot."

"Why don't you come!"

The fortune teller, without hesitation, stepped forward. He wasn't in a hurry to find the entrance, but instead used his divine sense to search for traces left by the envoy.

Zhao Wuxiang offered him his seat and stood aside, looking extremely depressed. Although his expression was unreadable, one could sense his bad mood, as if dark clouds were pressing down on him.

He had lost many memories, only remembering that he was led to the Red Sleeve Pavilion in Crescent Moon City by the remains of an Ascension Realm cultivator, and then he was ambushed by Yun Yi, who took control of his body from him.

When he woke up, he found himself under a red bean tree, and his body contained spiritual power comparable to that of an ascension realm expert, which should be the benefit left behind by that master as agreed.

But apart from that, he couldn't remember anything else.

Moreover, when Yun Yi was mentioned, her emotions were quite strange. She was angry that he had ambushed her, but she also felt a strange sense of kinship with him.

Calling them enemies is not quite right, and calling them friends is even less likely, which really bothered Zhao Wuxiang.

Afterwards, he met up with the old abacus and, as instructed by the pavilion master, tracked down the Heavenly Pillar, which led them to Yixian Lake.

He was still somewhat confused, as if he had just had a long dream in which he lost a person or thing of great importance, leaving him feeling empty inside.

It's really uncomfortable.

The fortune teller noticed that Zhao Wuxiang seemed somewhat absent-minded, so he deliberately provoked him with words, hoping to help him recover as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, he was "quite ill," and even his temperament was somewhat different from before. It's unknown what kind of miraculous methods Yun Yi used to cause such a dramatic change in Zhao Wuxiang.

"Strange, it seems there's a lot more to the hidden place of Yixian Lake than meets the eye. I can clearly sense the fluctuations of spiritual energy here, but I just can't find the entrance to the secret realm." After some searching, the Divine Calculator sighed helplessly.

Zhao Wuxiang asked, "Should we just smash this place to pieces?"

"It might alert them, so it's better to wait for someone to come and help us."

"Backup? Who can get us back?"

"Naturally, it's the spy that the Pavilion Master planted in the Wen family long ago."

……

Yun Yi followed the envoy into the painting and his eyes lit up.

This place served as the Wen family's secluded retreat. The lake water here was not the usual turquoise, but rather a deep blue-green hue, a result of ink spreading from an inkstone.

The ripples on the lake surface resembled wet brushstrokes, with occasional fish leaping out from them.

The distant mountain outlines resemble the strokes of a master's brush, with traces of flying white brushstrokes remaining at the turning points of the peaks. Clouds and mist drift naturally from the broken strokes on the mountainside, as if a dragon were circling the peaks three times.

Yun Yi looked up, his gaze following a group of spirit beasts flying through the air, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Surrounded by mountains and water, this is truly a fairyland."

What surprised him even more was that there were few traces of human habitation in Yixian Lake, only a handful of houses of different shapes and sizes.

Outside, amidst the mountains and waters, countless demonic beasts lived contentedly, creating a scene of peace and tranquility. Rather than being the Wen family's secluded retreat, this place was more accurately described as a dwelling place for numerous demonic races.

Yun Yi even saw many familiar ancient demonic beasts among them, which Wen Daoxian must have brought back from the demon capital. Judging from their complexion and physique, they were all much better than before.

The relationship between the Wen family and the demon race is indeed extraordinary.

Bai Ze was quite fond of this place and took the initiative to transform into a stream of light and went to a nearby place, as if he had run into an old friend from the Demon Capital.

Yun Yi didn't reach out to stop him, since nothing bad was going to happen here anyway.

The envoy waved his hand at the lakeside, summoning a small boat, and led Yunyi to sail on the lake, slowly heading towards the land in the center of the lake.

The boat was rowed by a long-armed and long-legged ape wearing a straw hat, which looked rather comical.

The envoy said, "The small boat we are standing on has a remarkable origin. It is called the Crossing Boat, with withered lotus leaves as its canopy and crane feathers as its sail. We will need it to enter and exit the central area of ​​the lake."

Yun Yi asked curiously, "This name is interesting. Could there be danger lurking at the bottom of Lake Yixian?"

"It's mainly because of various kinds of demonic beasts; it's indeed not very safe to enter the water rashly. However, with your cultivation level, you'll certainly be fine."

As they drew closer to the island in the middle of the lake, the envoy continued, "That place is called Fuyun Island, where the Wen family has settled. Our ancestor lives over at Zhenxia Terrace; you'll see when you get there."

Yun Yi's gaze followed the fingertip of the Color Envoy, and there was a floating platform on the island. The base of the platform looked like agate in the color of the sunset, and the texture seemed to be flowing with the clouds that had not yet dissipated, which was very beautiful.

He said, "The scenery is beautiful, and the name is quite elegant."

The envoy said, "This is all thanks to the old sword immortal Wang. Without his help, the Wen family would never have been able to find such a satisfactory place to live in seclusion. If those demonic beasts had nowhere to be housed, they would cause a lot of trouble if they were released."

That's true. In ancient times, the human race was suppressed by the demon race, but after the formation of the Heavenly Dao, the situation reversed.

However, humans and demons are always opposites. Only when one side is weakened and can no longer pose a threat can they find a way to live together.

Clearly, the Wen family played the role of leaving a glimmer of hope for the demon race, as the Yixian Lake was home to a wide variety of demon beasts, encompassing almost the entire species.

The "Ink Spirit Deer" dwells in the forest, its antlers adorned with teardrop-shaped bells, and it leaves ink-black footprints as it runs. Hidden among the irises by the lake is an "Inkstone Turtle," its shell pattern hinting at a mystery. And then there's the crane circling overhead, a single feather on its brow seemingly stained with vermilion.

In addition, there are a large number of ancient monsters, such as the "Feifei" and "Bifang" monsters, whose bloodlines are extraordinary.

When the ferry boat reached the shore, Wen Daoxian, who had been waiting there for a long time, immediately came forward and said with a smile, "I knew Brother Yun would not break his promise."

Yun Yi had a good impression of the Wen family patriarch, with whom he had fought side by side. Although the man was quite shrewd, he had never done anything bad since they met, and was worth befriending.

He said, "Since I have made a gentleman's promise with Brother Wen, I will never break my word."

Wen Daoxian carefully examined Yun Yi and exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Yun seems to have already entered the Dao Integration Realm?"

The Envoy was taken aback. He really hadn't realized it and thought Yun Yi was still at the Void Returning Realm, "about the same level" as him.

Yun Yi: "It really can't hide anything from Brother Wen's discerning eyes."

"Haha, my sister-in-law, you ascended to immortality at such a young age, and even personally killed Xiao Buyi, that old monster who has lived for countless years. You have also advanced to the Dao Integration Realm, and your aura is extraordinary. It is truly an eye-opener."

Yun Yi called back the golden beast that had been wandering around and said, "Why don't we take care of business first, and then we can have a drink and a chat?"

Wen Daoxian had this idea, "I have already spoken with the ancestor, let's go directly to Zhenxia Terrace."
