Junior Sister must ascend this time!

Because of the rich spiritual energy in the Sacred Land, Ji Ming's arm wound healed almost completely in just two hours. However, to return to his previous state, he would have to stop using spiritual energy on that arm for at least two years.

Although you can set up a formation with just one hand, it's still not as fast as using two hands. In battle, the difference often comes down to just a breath or two.

This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Ji Ming. What was harder to heal than the physical wounds was his heart. The match with Yun Qing had crushed all his sharpness and drive.

Mo Weiqing looked at his junior brother, whose eyes had lost their light, and his aura slowly turned gloomy. "Don't worry, I will avenge you for everything you've suffered!"

He looked at Su Han and said, "You keep an eye on them outside the Extreme and Holy Land. Let me know immediately if they make any moves."

Su Han: "Yes!"

Suddenly I've become a double agent, why am I so excited?

After watching Mo Weiqing and the others leave, he decisively returned to the Sacred Land of Extreme Harmony.

What's the point of watching from the outside? He should stay openly in the Sacred Land of Extreme Harmony and benefit from the abundant spiritual energy to increase his cultivation.

It's definitely not because I wanted to be with Yun Qing and the others, absolutely not!

Yun Qing raised an eyebrow at him: "Why aren't you leaving yet?"

Su Han answered truthfully, "Mo Weiqing instructed me to keep an eye on your every move."

He snatched the spiritual fruit from Si Mingche's hand, took a bite, and said, "How about that? I'm loyal enough, right?"

Yun Qing grabbed the back of his neck and said, "Then come with us to do something even more righteous."

"Hey! Wait a minute... where are we going?"

Su Han struggled with all his might, but could not break free and could only let Yun Qing drag him away.

How can someone be so strong? She must be a body cultivator!

Yun Qing, in a moment of great compassion, told Su Han his current purpose: "To take us to Ye Xuan's former residence."

She turned to Si Mingche, "Third Senior Brother, come with me."

Si Mingche was overjoyed; he knew his junior sister liked him the most!

Cen Ning stamped her feet anxiously, "Junior Sister, what about us?"

Yun Qing comforted her, "It's not that I don't want to take you, it's just that Second Senior Sister has a greater use for us if she stays here."

"Second Senior Sister, could you make three puppets to imitate us and cultivate here? Don't arouse their suspicion; we'll be back soon."

Cen Ning immediately laughed and said, "Leave it to me!"

After leaving the Sacred Land of Extreme Harmony, the three of them affixed invisibility talismans to their bodies, swallowed Qi-concealing pills, and headed straight for Ye Xuan's residence.

Apart from the ten elite disciples, all the other disciples of the Immortal Alliance lived in Lingyun Residence.

As direct descendants of the five great families, Ye Xuan and his group held a rather special status. Therefore, they lived on the top floor of Lingyun Residence, in a separate area called "Lanyue Pavilion." Each person had an independent courtyard with walls higher than those on the lower floors, and their names were engraved on the lintels.

Ye Xuan lived on the westernmost side of Lan Yue Pavilion. Her courtyard wasn't large, but it was filled with many beautiful flowers. However, some of them were almost withered, indicating that they hadn't been tended to for some time.

Yun Qing and the other two pushed open Ye Xuan's door, hoping to find some clues, but apart from basic necessities, they found nothing else.

Yun Qing asked, "What about the three aristocratic disciples who came with her? Are they still in the Immortal Alliance?"

Su Han rummaged through the things without looking up. "It's still here. It trains with those ordinary disciples every day, and the Alliance Leader even gave them more cultivation resources."

However, those three are not as good as Ye Xuan, whether in talent or character.

Yun Qing thought about it and agreed. Even if the Alliance Leader wanted to do something, he wouldn't attack the direct descendants of the five major families at the same time; that would be too conspicuous.

Ye Xuan's disappearance is already conspicuous enough. If the other three disappear at the same time, the five major families will definitely notice something and may even unite to put pressure on the Immortal Alliance.

Only Ye Xuan is missing, while the other three direct descendants are not only unharmed but also receive preferential treatment within the Immortal Alliance. The other three families will only consider it an accident and would never unite with the Ye family.

"Found it!"

Si Mingche found a bracelet in the corner of the room. "This is the bracelet that Ye Xuan wears every day. At least in my memory, she never takes it off. Now it's lying here. Something must have happened to her."

As he spoke, he took the bracelet in his hand and twirled it twice, finally pressing gently on a small raised area.

A very soft "click" came from the inside of the bracelet, followed by a tiny crack that split open from the raised part, revealing a small piece of folded paper hidden inside.

"What's your relationship with him?"

Si Mingche rolled his eyes at him. "Her mother and my mother are close friends, so our families are very close. This bracelet was specially made for her by Aunt Ye, and Aunt Ye also made one for me. But..."

"I disliked my mother, so I didn't wear it."

"Oh." Su Han seemed a little uninterested. That's it...

Yun Qing couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Alright, open the note and see if there are any clues."

Si Mingche obediently unfolded the paper in his hand. There was a line of small characters on it, written in rapid strokes: "Immortal Alliance Underground Palace, there is a conspiracy."

After reading the words, Su Han's expression changed. "What...what does this mean?"

Si Mingche scratched his head. "You can't read?"

Su Han snapped, "That's not what I meant!"

Yun Qing stared...

Si Mingche stared...

For some reason, Su Han felt a little guilty, even though he didn't think the Alliance Leader would do anything to harm the cultivation world.

He cleared his throat twice and said, "Perhaps she was mistaken. The underground palace holds many secrets of the Immortal Alliance, but the Alliance Leader is definitely after the cultivation world."

Yun Qing didn't want to talk to him, so she lifted her foot and walked out. "Are you sure you're not mistaken? Why don't we just go check the underground palace?"

Su Han swallowed hard. "Are we really going? The place is heavily guarded. What if the Alliance Leader finds out..."

Si Mingche patted him on the shoulder. "What? You're scared?"

Yun Qing said slowly, "It's not that he's afraid, it's that he's afraid the facts will overturn his previous beliefs."

Su Han wanted to refute, but he couldn't bring himself to speak. He was indeed afraid; he was afraid the note was real, and even more afraid that the Alliance Leader he had always respected would do something to harm the cultivation world.

After a moment of silence, he finally caught up with Yun Qing and Si Mingche. "Without me, would you know where the underground palace is? Would you know when the Alliance Leader won't go?"

Yun Qing walked in front, a smile playing on her lips. "Hurry up."

After leaving Lan Yue Pavilion, the three passed by the residence of ordinary disciples when two disciples approached them. Fortunately, they had invisibility talismans on their bodies and were not discovered.

"Let's go back and cultivate quickly; we're going into the secret realm tomorrow."

"Don't you find it strange? We've been going into the secret realm far too often lately. Although we get a lot of resources, many of our fellow disciples disappear every time we come out."

"You're overthinking it. Secret realms are always a mix of opportunities and dangers. They were just unlucky and encountered a high-level demonic beast..."
