Zhu Chen spread his divine sense, wanting to probe into the house to see if the person who came to find Huo Ling'er yesterday was Yun Xi. However, his divine sense was blocked by an invisible barrier as soon as it touched the house.

Someone set up a magic array inside the house to isolate divine consciousness.

The magic array still retained Huo Ling'er's aura, suggesting it was set up by her.

"This girl is getting more and more cautious these days."

Zhu Chen bypassed the Fire Kingdom cultivators and went straight to the front of the house.

However, just as he was about to knock on the door, someone opened it from the inside first.

In an instant, a stunningly beautiful face came into view.

Clad in purple robes and with purple hair, possessing unparalleled elegance, she was none other than Yunxi.

"why you?"

Yunxi was taken aback when she saw Zhu Chen standing outside the door.

Just as Zhu Chen was about to say something, Huo Ling'er, who was following behind Yun Xi, suddenly came up to him: "You little rascal, you've come at the perfect time. Yun Xi and I were just about to go find you."

"Yunxi... Sister?"

Zhu Chen looked at Huo Ling'er with a completely bewildered expression.

These two women spent the whole night together yesterday. How come their relationship has suddenly become so good?

They even addressed each other as sisters.

Something is wrong!
Something is wrong!
"Come in first, then we can talk..."

Huo Ling'er glanced at the group of Huo Kingdom cultivators standing outside the house, then pulled Zhu Chen inside.

"Hehe~, kid, it seems you're quite lucky with the ladies. Both of these girls have your aura on them, especially the girl in purple. She's carrying your child."

The little tower's voice appeared in their ears again, but this time it was a telepathic message, and Huo Ling'er and Yun Xi did not hear it.

Zhu Chen didn't have time to pay attention to the small tower at the moment. He turned to look at Yun Xi and asked, "Yun Xi, what are you doing at the Heaven-Mending Pavilion?"

Huo Ling'er interrupted, "Isn't it all because of you?"

"because I?"

"Yes, it's because of you..."

Huo Ling'er recounted indignantly what had happened to Yun Xi.

It turns out that Yunxi was found to be pregnant after returning from Baiduan Mountain last time.

The other party was a holy maiden of Tian Shen Mountain, of noble status. Now that such a thing had happened to her, the law enforcement elder of Tian Shen Mountain immediately reported the matter to the Upper Realm Celestial City.

Elder Qi Tuo of the Celestial City believed that Yun Xi's affair with a man in the wild and her pregnancy were likely to bring shame upon their entire Celestial race.

To prevent this matter from spreading, the Celestial Race spared no expense in sending a large number of punishment teams down to the mortal realm, determined to bring Yunxi back to the upper realm to be punished.

Fortunately, Yunxi's grandfather, Yun Canghai, held off the punishment team at the crucial moment and sent Yunxi out of Tianshen Mountain.

Otherwise, Yunxi might have already been captured and sent to the Upper Realm to be punished.

After hearing Huo Ling'er's account, Zhu Chen felt a surge of anger.

He turned to look at Yunxi beside him: "Yunxi, is what Ling'er said true?"

Yunxi didn't speak, but simply nodded silently.

Seeing this, Zhu Chen did not shirk his responsibility. He looked at Yun Xi and said, "It is their loss that the Celestial Race drove you out. You will come back to the Fire Kingdom with me now. From now on, the Fire Kingdom will be your home. Of course, if you still want to go back to the Celestial Race, I can take you back and support you..." Zhu Chen's words made Yun Xi's expression change slightly.

His purpose in coming to Butian Pavilion was actually to seek Zhu Chen's help.

But this matter was extremely dangerous, and he didn't know how to bring it up. Unexpectedly, Zhu Chen brought it up on his own initiative.

“My grandfather is still with the Celestial Race. He helped me escape from Mount Celestial God. The Celestial City's punishment squad will definitely not let him go. I want to go back…”

Yunxi bit her thin lips lightly with her pearly teeth, and after a few moments of inner struggle, she finally spoke.

When Huo Ling'er saw that Yun Xi still wanted to go back, she immediately jumped up anxiously: "Sister Yun Xi, are you crazy? Those great sects and families in the upper realm value face the most. If you go back, they will definitely not let you go. Your grandfather helped you escape with great difficulty. If you go back, won't all his efforts be in vain?"

The two had already been completely open with each other at the Hundred Herbs Garden last time, and last night they had another long talk about Yunxi's matter. Their deep friendship had already been established, and she didn't want her sister to go back to her death.

"But Grandpa is my only family member in the world, I don't want anything to happen to him..."

Yunxi was heartbroken. She secretly wiped away her tears with her sleeve, then took a deep breath and mustered her courage to say to Zhu Chen, "Actually, the reason I came to you this time is to ask you to help save my grandfather. I know this is very dangerous, but right now, I can't think of anyone else who can help me but you."

As Yunxi spoke, tears welled up in her eyes again.

She had lived with her grandfather, Yun Canghai, since she was a child. Now that Yun Canghai was in trouble, she was at a loss and could only come to Zhu Chen for help.

"Don't rush, tell me first, how many people are in the punishment team sent by the Celestial City this time, and what is the cultivation level of the strongest among them?"

As Zhu Chen reached out to wipe away the tears from Yun Xi's eyes, he continued to ask softly.

He was recently preparing to go to the Upper Realm to inquire about the whereabouts of the Willow God. Now that the Celestial Race has sent people down to the Lower Realm ahead of schedule, he can try to get some information from them and perhaps gain some insights.

"That punishment team consisted of three people. The leader was a cultivator at the Divine Fire Realm, and the other two were both at the peak of the Venerable Realm..."

Yunxi parted her red lips slightly and truthfully described the personnel configuration of the punishment team.

However, after hearing about the composition of this punishment team, Zhu Chen immediately fell into deep thought.

Divine Fire, this realm is known as the 'Divine Realm' in the eight lower realms.

Those who reach this level of cultivation can be revered as 'gods', possessing extraordinary strength.

Although Yun Canghai also possessed the cultivation level of a Venerable, given his strength, it was impossible for him to safely deliver Yun Xi out of Tian Shen Mountain from the hands of a Divine Fire Realm cultivator.

Yunxi was able to escape, presumably because those people deliberately let her go.

It seems that the target of the people sent down from the Heavenly City was not Yun Xi at all, but him.

Those people deliberately let Yunxi come to find them.

Zhu Chen pondered silently and soon understood everything.

At this moment, Yunxi continued, "Zhu Chen, I will appear at Heavenly God Mountain to lure out that Divine Fire Realm cultivator. Then you can secretly sneak into my clan's territory and rescue my grandfather..."

This was the solution she had been thinking about all night.

She decided to sacrifice herself, hoping that Zhu Chen could successfully rescue her grandfather.

However, as soon as she proposed this plan, Zhu Chen immediately rejected it: "Forget it, with your current cultivation level, I estimate that the Divine Fire Realm cultivator won't even bother to chase after you!"

Yunxi was slightly taken aback: "Do you have a better idea?"

Zhu Chen laughed and said, "What other methods are needed to save people? Just charge up the mountain!"
