Ye Yun simply smiled faintly at this.

"It seems that you know me, senior."

Yue Ling took a deep breath and stared at him.

"That's for sure. Elder Ye's name is now known to everyone in the Eastern Continent."

"Ahem, it's not that exaggerated."

Ye Yun coughed lightly, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Then, he looked at Yue Ling and smiled.

"But this saves us a lot of effort, so we don't need to doubt it too much, right?"

Now that we both know each other, it certainly saves a lot of communication costs...

Yue Ling nodded and cupped her hands in greeting.

"Well, thank you so much, Elder Ye, for saving my life. I will definitely repay this great kindness in the future!"

"These are all things for the future, there's no need to mention them again."

Ye Yun waved his hand and asked him directly to the point.

"More than that, I'm concerned about how someone of your strength could have been injured to this extent."

With Yue Ling's cultivation at the Imperial Dao Realm, and with no Emperor-level experts appearing, she could practically roam freely across the continent.

It's not easy to get hurt to this extent; there must be some hidden story behind it.

Upon hearing this, Yue Ling's expression quickly darkened, and she took a deep breath.

"It's embarrassing to admit, I was supposed to be in the Wutong Mountains, in charge of attacking a heretical cultivator's stronghold..."

According to Yue Ling's account, after she led her people to the designated area...

Before they could even make a move, they were met with a fierce attack from the Ascension Sect cultivators.

There are several powerful formations and three experts at the Imperial Dao Realm in that area, whose combat power is terrifying.

As she finished speaking, a hint of frustration flashed in Yue Ling's eyes.

"At the time, I really didn't expect that such combat power would be hidden in that small evil cultivator's stronghold."

"Caught off guard, I was the only one who escaped, and I only managed to escape the pursuit by sheer luck."

"Looking back now, it was probably an ambush aimed at me..."

That makes sense now.

With three cultivators of the same level and the aid of an array, it would indeed be difficult for them to escape unscathed.

After listening, Ye Yun fell into deep thought.

Bai Liuli, who was standing next to him, glanced at him and asked.

"Disciple, what have you thought of?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun seemed to be deep in thought, and glanced at Yue Ling before speaking.

"I don't think this matter is necessarily directed at our seniors."

This explanation startled Yue Ling, who asked in confusion.

"Not targeting me? Then how do you explain this?"

At this moment, Ye Yun took out a map and made it float in front of the three people.

"Senior, could you point out where the ambush occurred?"

This is a map of the Wutong Mountains that Ye Yun had specifically asked for when he came, with various areas marked on it.

Yue Ling looked around and pointed to a spot.

"It's probably here..."

Ye Yun looked in that direction, and just as she had said before, this was a very inconspicuous place on the entire map.

It's not a strategic location, nor is the terrain particularly treacherous; it's just too ordinary. Nine out of ten places on a map are like this.

After looking at it for a while, Ye Yun suddenly spoke.

"Senior, don't you think this place is terrible as an ambush site?"

This sentence reminded Yueling.

She glanced at it immediately, frowned, and asked.

"you mean……"

At this moment, Ye Yun pointed to the vicinity of the target area.

"Senior, look around. There are clearly many more suitable areas for an ambush."

"Furthermore, I think if the Ascension Sect really wanted to ambush and kill you, they wouldn't have made such a small arrangement."

"At the very least... there should be a high-level trapping formation, but you don't seem to have encountered one, have you?"

This explanation truly made Yue Ling fall into deep thought.

"This...it really does seem to be true..."

She hadn't thought of these things before.

Now that I've calmed down and reconsidered, I do realize that some of it is unreasonable.

"Come to think of it, those three guys didn't really relentlessly chase me when they were chasing me."

This actually explains a lot. In that situation, if those three people had been willing to kill her at all costs...

He would probably have already died on the spot by now.

"Therefore, I believe there's more to this than meets the eye!"

Ye Yun squinted and pointed at the map.

"When I came here, I heard that the battle in the Wutong Mountains had reached a stalemate."

"Perhaps the place you intruded into is an extremely important area for the Ascension Sect!"

"Otherwise, it wouldn't explain why such an ordinary position would have such a powerful combat deployment!"

After saying that, he looked at Bai Liuli and Yue Ling in front of him and asked.

"Master, seniors, what do you think?"

Both women fell into deep thought, seriously considering what Ye Yun had said.

After a while, Yue Ling's expression turned serious, and she nodded slightly.

"What you said makes a lot of sense! It's not impossible!"

Bai Liuli, who was standing to the side, nodded and immediately spoke.

"If that's the case, we need to get the message to the Allied headquarters as soon as possible."

After all, the Ascension Sect isn't stupid.

If that place really is a strategic location for some Ascension Cult.

Once exposed, they will likely start moving very quickly, so we must seize this opportunity.

Ye Yun took a deep breath and said, "Indeed, we have to look for it."

At this moment, Yue Ling immediately spoke up.

"In that case, let me go. You two must have other tasks here, so I won't keep you any longer."

Under normal circumstances, this is undoubtedly the most efficient choice.

But Ye Yun looked at her condition and immediately shook his head.

"No, senior is too badly injured and needs to recuperate first."

"Furthermore, it would be very dangerous for you to encounter cultivators from the Ascension Sect again."

The healing pills he gave the other party earlier only pulled him back from the brink of death; they did not mean his combat strength had been restored.

At this moment, Yue Ling's combat strength is at least one-tenth of what it used to be.

Sending her to deliver the message is far too risky.

Immediately, Ye Yun turned to look at Bai Liuli.

"Master, would you mind going there?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Liuli frowned.

"What will you do then?"

"Oh, it's alright! Don't you know my abilities?"

Ye Yun smiled faintly and patted his chest.

"Those guys who surrounded my senior sister can't be too strong."

"With my disciple's strength, dealing with them is more than enough!"

"Even if I'm unlucky and encounter a Dao Realm expert, I can still escape."

Although what he said made sense, Bai Liuli still had some concerns.

After all, he had promised Hong Xian'er to keep an eye on Ye Yun before they set off.

Before we even arrived at our destination, we had to part ways...

"But……"

"There's no 'but' about it."

Ye Yun took a deep breath and said to him seriously.

"Master, the most urgent task now is to deal with the Ascension Sect. Perhaps Senior Yueling's information will be the key!"

"As for me, I've dealt with the Ascension Sect more than once or twice, and I've always managed to escape unscathed."

"So, Master, you don't need to worry!"

Having said that, Bai Liuli couldn't refute it any further.

Indeed, time is of the essence now...

She finally nodded and sighed.

"Alright then, I'll leave Ruyin and the others in your care. Please be very careful."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this!"

Ye Yun grinned and said confidently.

"Barring any major unforeseen circumstances, I estimate it won't be long before I can bring my senior sisters to find you!"
