A trace of complexity flashed across Shu Yuanzi's mind.

There was grief and indignation, anger, helplessness, as well as unwillingness and despair...

The sword-shaped Dao Treasure rapidly enlarged in his view!

But at this moment.

A golden-red light suddenly flashed in his view!

In the next instant, the sword-shaped Dao Treasure that was slashing toward him was suddenly knocked aside by that golden-red light. Under the astonished gaze of Shu Yuanzi and the young cultivator, the sword-shaped Dao Treasure uncontrollably rolled backward a few times, before stabilizing in mid-air!

In the distance, the middle-aged cultivator who had remained uninvolved, casually watching, slightly tensed, straightened up, and stared at the golden-red figure, his expression filled with suspicion:

"Is it him? No, it's not him!"

The golden-red Blood Energy dissipated, revealing a green-robed maiden.

She was charming in appearance, with a pair of golden Double Pupils in her eyes, adding a mysterious allure to her.

The young cultivator and the middle-aged cultivator were both shocked!

The young cultivator thought:

"She looks like us... a person from the Double Body Realm or the Holy Desecration Realm?"

The middle-aged cultivator was even more suspicious:

"Just like that person, both with golden Double Pupils, could it be like him and Taoist Man, all from the same clan?"

His heart was heavy.

Shu Yuanzi looked at the green-robed maiden who was blocking in front of him, both surprised and delighted yet confused, quickly saying:

"Thank you, Taoist Friend, for your assistance. May I ask your honorable name..."

The green-robed maiden glanced around, frowned slightly, then casually said:

"You don't need to know my name, wait for a moment."

As she spoke.

The middle-aged cultivator in the distance had a feeling, instinctively looking far away.

He saw an enormous ship rapidly approaching from the depths of the dim Void in silence.

Almost in an instant, that ship had already docked not far away.

Seeing this ship, the middle-aged cultivator was first startled, then his eyes flashed with suspicion and strong vigilance:

"This is the ship from the Primitive Demon Mountain! Could Taoist Master Taiyi be inside?"

His gaze subconsciously swept between the green-robed maiden and that ship, and the indifference on his face had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a rare seriousness and confusion.

The young cultivator, unfamiliar with it, naturally did not recognize it. After glancing at the green-robed maiden, he immediately looked at the uninvited ship and sneered coldly:

"Another one trying to act godlike!"

A flash of malicious intent appeared in his eyes.

He then swiftly summoned the sword-shaped Dao Treasure, stepping into the void and slashing toward the large ship!

This operation was no trivial matter; if the secret was leaked here, and he ruined the important affairs of his teacher and the Jade Pot Realm, he would be too ashamed to face his teacher.

So upon seeing this ship arrive, he couldn't be bothered to speak further, lifting his hand and slashing directly down.

The middle-aged cultivator's face changed instantly as he saw this scene:

"No!"

However, the young cultivator was extremely fast, and before the middle-aged cultivator even finished his two words, the young cultivator had already bypassed the green-robed maiden, flying to the front of the ship, and slashing down toward the pavilion aboard.

At the same time, he said:

"Senior Brother, please lend a hand, don't let them escape, I will report to you upon my return..."

The words were not yet finished.

A pavilion door on the ship suddenly opened widely.

Without any ripple.

The young cultivator who came slicing with a sword suddenly seemed like a small bird that bumped into an invisible barrier, not even having time to hum, his whole body exploding instantly, a spray of blood like a violent storm scattering in all directions...

Shu Yuanzi, who had been nervously watching, couldn't help but widen his eyes, his lips subconsciously parted.

The middle-aged cultivator, already faintly uneasy, was filled with dread, without any hesitation, immediately transforming into a sword-light, racing away at high speed.

Yet almost simultaneously, a sound that wasn't particularly pleasant nor unpleasant to hear, a melody from a qin, gently echoed in his ears.

His spirit was suddenly in a daze.

When he came to his senses, a shiver ran down his spine!

Because at that moment, he found himself unwittingly standing in front of the wide-open door of that large ship.

The Spiritual Government's warning signs shook fiercely!

Without thinking, he transformed into a sword-light once more, intending to leave.

But from the pavilion on the ship came a calm voice:

"You are Zu Wenqiu, correct?"

"Better not leave; I just need to ask you something."

Hearing this voice, Zu Wenqiu's heart held no more illusions, feeling nothing but a chilling cold:

"It really is that Taoist Master Taiyi!"

He turned slowly, and respectfully bowed toward the open door:

"Zu Wenqiu, paying respects to the Taoist Master."

"Unaware that the Taoist Master was present, I was disrespectful earlier; please feel free to inquire, if I know, I will not dare to conceal anything."

"Heh, it's nothing major, just wanted to ask about the person with golden Double Pupils who fought with you before, do you know his whereabouts?"

Golden Double Pupils?!

Zu Wenqiu's heart tensed.

These people are indeed in league with that Taoist Man!

No, he must return and report this to the Taoist Master.

On his face, however, was a puzzled expression as he said:

"I truly don't know, indeed I fought him before, but he escaped, and after that, I lost track."

"Is that so."

Inside the pavilion, the voice was slightly disappointed:

"Even you don't know, if that's the case, then forget it, I can only..."

Zu Wenqiu slightly relaxed, about to take his leave.

When from the pavilion came the slow, even footsteps.

Then a figure slowly emerged from the shadowed door.

Clad in a green robe, not extraordinarily handsome, yet very pleasing to the eye.

Seeing this figure, the words Zu Wenqiu intended to say caught in his throat, his expression stunned as he looked at the figure:

"You, you and he... Taoist Master Taiyi..."

The green-robed cultivator smiled slightly, nodding calmly:

"That's right, he and I, both are Taoist Master Taiyi."

"He went missing because of you, since you claim ignorance, then I can only perform Soul Search on you."

Zu Wenqiu's expression changed, eyes filling with fear and determination.

The Dao Domain rapidly expanded, intending a desperate struggle.

But the next moment, he saw a trace of crimson flash in the green-robed cultivator's eyes.

Immediately, he fell into a silent stupor, motionless...

A few breaths later.

Wang Ba slowly withdrew his finger from Zu Wenqiu's forehead; despite his usual composure, his gaze held a touch of surprise when looking at Zu Wenqiu.

"Who would have thought, disciple of Master Changying, turns out to be a plant from the Double Body Realm, no wonder back at the Sea Market, Ying Yuan Daoist aided Li Zhongping and Zu Wenqiu..."

"However, Jade Pot Realm actually plans to launch a surprise attack on the Holy Desecration Realm..."
