Upon seeing the contents of the letter, both Ye Yun and Hong Xian'er were visibly shocked.

Without a doubt, this letter came at the perfect time; it was like a pillow delivered just when you're sleepy.

After reading it, the two immediately looked at each other.

Among them, Hong Xian'er said with great excitement.

"As expected! The Ascension Sect really is related to the Nine Netherworld Holy Land."

They had suspected it before, but they just had no evidence.

And now, the appearance of this letter undoubtedly proves this point.

As for Ye Yun, he squinted his eyes slightly and said.

"I just didn't expect the Nine Netherworld Holy Land to be so audacious."

"Isn't this tantamount to...inviting a wolf into the house?"

Hong Xian'er saw through this matter clearly and gave a cold laugh.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it must be that old fellow from the Nine Nether Holy Land who is coveting the cultivation techniques possessed by the Ascension Sect."

"So, taking advantage of the Ascension Sect's decline, they accepted it..."

As it turns out, Hong Xian'er was indeed extremely intelligent and had a very good understanding of the Nine Netherworld Saint Lord's character.

Ye Yun nodded and hummed softly.

"In my opinion, this is entirely the Nine Netherworld Holy Land's own fault."

Hong Xian'er also strongly agreed with this point.

She smiled faintly and said affirmatively.

"That's right, indeed."

Throughout history, people have always been happy to see dogs fighting.

The current situation of the Ascension Sect in relation to the Nine Netherworld Holy Land is undoubtedly similar.

If it were another faction, not the Ascension Sect, they probably wouldn't have bothered with it.

But it was precisely because this was the Ascension Sect that the two were drawn into a discussion.

After a moment, Hong Xian'er looked at Ye Yun and asked.

"By the way, you two seem to know each other quite well?"

Ye Yun paused for a moment, then asked in confusion.

"Um, what does Xian'er mean by 'familiar'?"

Hong Xian'er glanced at him and raised an eyebrow.

"What do you think? If you and she weren't quite close, why would she send you a message?"

"You and she didn't have any special past, did you?"

She was absolutely right about that.

Of course, Ye Yun wouldn't admit it outright.

After all, he had promised Miss Wuxian that he would keep their affair a secret.

"possible……"

Ye Yun pondered for a moment and then gave a reasonable explanation.

"Am I not the leader of the Night's Watch? It's only natural that she would come after me."

After all, anyone with even a slight understanding of the Night's Watch would know the original purpose of this organization.

Now that the Ascension Cult is active again, and given that Wu Xian knows the Night Watchmen, it's quite normal for him to send the letter here.

Even Hong Xian'er couldn't find anything wrong with this matter...

"Indeed, let's put this matter aside for now."

Hong Xian'er nodded slightly, then turned her gaze back to the letter.

Looking at the handwriting, she pondered for a moment and asked.

"You think... what's in this document might be a trap for you?"

"They claim to be affiliated with the Ascension Cult, but that's just a ploy to lure you out and then take control of you!"

The reason I say this is that Wuxian set a time in the letter, which is not very close.

He had to rush over as soon as he received the letter to make it in time.

"I don't think this might be a trap."

Ye Yun shrugged and explained.

"She must know that I have a special identity now and many ways to protect myself."

"If it is truly a conspiracy by the Ascension Sect or the Nine Nether Holy Land, they may not be able to defeat me."

The Ascension Sect has just been crippled and is currently in a weakened state; it should not be acting so recklessly.

Upon hearing this, Hong Xian'er's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she asked a question.

"Are you planning to meet them?"

In her opinion, this matter really needs to be handled with extreme caution.

However, Ye Yun nodded in response without hesitation.

"That's right, in my opinion, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."

"If that's true, then it's all benefits and no drawbacks, and it could bring about a huge breakthrough in our current work!"

That's what she said, but Hong Xian'er's expression was serious.

She stared intently at Ye Yun, took a deep breath, and asked.

"I'm still worried, what if she's lying to you?"

"What if... this is a trap set by the Ascension Sect, or even the Nine Netherworld Holy Land?"

Undoubtedly, her concerns were not unfounded, and Ye Yun agreed with them.

Therefore, he did not underestimate his opponent and explained with a smile.

"Xian'er, if you're really worried, you can always find someone to go with me to see Wuxian."

"With someone protecting us, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

Upon hearing this suggestion, Hong Xian'er nodded thoughtfully.

"That's... acceptable."

However, choosing the right person can be a bit tricky.

Judging from the level of the people Ye Yun has offended, they are all top forces from various sectors of the continent.

Without an Emperor-level expert by your side, you can't even talk about being safe.

Looking at the entire Ancient Holy Land, there are only three Emperor-level experts.

Among them... Nangong Jiutian has just entered the pass, so it would be inappropriate to disturb him now.

"That really is a problem..."

……

After that, Hong Xian'er made thorough preparations for Ye Yun to ensure his safety.

Only then did he feel at ease letting Ye Yun set off to keep his appointment with Wu Xian.

And the time and place they agreed on were in a familiar place.

That is, Shenwu City, the most prosperous city in Dongzhou, the place where the True Inheritance Arena was held before.

It was here that Ye Yun and Wu Xian first met, which led to the story that followed.

"It's been a while since I've been here."

As Ye Yun walked along the bustling streets of Shenwu City, he noticed some differences from before.

It was quite obvious that the atmosphere in the city had become more tense, and the number of patrolling guards had increased significantly.

This is done to better maintain public order and prevent accidents from happening.

"It seems... it's really time to end everything sooner and restore peace to the mainland."

I'm afraid that many cities in the Eastern Continent are now on high alert, just like Shenwu City.

Such a situation is naturally detrimental to the city's development...

Ye Yun walked through the crowd and went to the location Wu Xian had mentioned in the letter.

This is an inn in the east of the city. From the outside, it looks very ordinary, just like any other inn you can find anywhere in the city.

"Tongfu Inn, this seems to be the place."

Ye Yun looked up at the plaque, and after confirming that it was correct, he went straight inside.

As soon as I entered, a waiter greeted me warmly.

"Distinguished guest, are you here for a meal or to stay the night?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun replied calmly.

"I'm looking for someone."

Looking for someone?

The waiter paused for a moment, then asked in confusion.

Who are you looking for?

Ye Yun looked up and said calmly.

"Is the No. 1 suite waiting for someone?"

Upon hearing this, the waiter suddenly realized what was happening.

He nodded repeatedly and said with a smile.

"Indeed, it's you! I'll take you there right away!"

The guest in the top-tier suite had indeed given instructions before.

If you encounter someone looking for a top-tier suite, you should bring them to meet you.

Before long, they arrived at the door of the No. 1 suite.

The waiter brought Ye Yun over, knocked gently on the door, and spoke.

"Honored guest, someone is looking for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door creaked open from the inside.

The first thing that catches the eye is a figure in a black dress, her face hidden under a black conical hat.

She glanced at the waiter and said calmly.

"Thank you, you can go now."

After saying that, she seemed to remember something and tossed a small bag to the other person.

"Remember what to say and what not to say when you give me a tip."

The waiter took the heavy cloth bag, his eyes immediately lit up, and he repeatedly expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you, esteemed guest! I will certainly keep silent about what happened today!"

It's obvious that anyone who could casually toss him such a tip could crush him in a matter of minutes.

"You two chat, I'll take my leave now."

The waiter bowed respectfully to the two of them and quickly turned to leave.

After he came downstairs, the woman in the black dress looked at Ye Yun and said something.

"Come in."

At this moment, she was wearing a straw hat.

The waiter could not see his true appearance through the bamboo hat.

Ye Yun, however, was different. After a brief sensory examination, he confirmed that the person in front of him was Wu Xian, the one he was looking for.

He nodded and followed her inside, the door closing behind him instantly.

Upon entering the suite, Ye Yun could see several treasures in the room that could isolate one's senses.

It can be said that the room is now like a black box, and even high-level cultivators would find it difficult to perceive what is happening inside.

Therefore, the woman in the black dress took off her hat, revealing a face that Ye Yun was very familiar with.

"Elder Ye, it's been a long time."

Seeing this, Ye Yun also shed his illusion and smiled.

"Indeed, it's been a while."

As he spoke, he looked the other person up and down, sensing that the other person had changed quite a bit from before.

Compared to before, he was a spirited and brilliant genius.

She looked noticeably tired.

It seems she has been through a lot during this time, as her face shows signs of weariness.

Just then, Wuxian looked at him and smiled.

"I didn't expect you to actually dare to come."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun raised an eyebrow and asked a question.

"What are you saying? Are you trying to trap me?"

"Of course not."

Wu Xian shook his head slightly and explained.

"Any normal person would think that such a sudden plea for help is a trap, right?"

Clearly, she knew that the letter she sent was somewhat abrupt.

So Ye Yun's arrival was somewhat unexpected for her.

Ye Yun shrugged and chuckled.

"It's alright, I'll still trust you for now."

Wu Xian paused for a moment, then took a deep breath.

"Thank you so much."

His voice carried a hint of emotion.

To be honest, even Wuxian herself never imagined that one day she would have to ask Ye Yun for help with something like this.

At the same time, Ye Yun was staring at her and asked directly.

"What I'm more concerned about is whether what Miss Wuxian said in her letter about the Ascension Sect is true?"

Verifying all of this was his most important purpose in coming here.

When this matter was mentioned, Wu Xian nodded without hesitation.

"Of course, there's absolutely nothing false in the letter!"
