Jin Ling slightly furrowed her brows, waved her hand, and a faint golden screen appeared in front of her, blocking the spreading stench outside.

Bai Yu frowningly looked at the skeleton, and after observing for a moment, said, "It's Xiang Yuncong."

Jin Ling said, "Master had already sensed that he was killed by someone, but merely instructed us to find his remains and confirm his death."

Bai Yu snorted coldly, "The true intention of Master sending us here is to retrieve the Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner."

Jin Ling nodded, "Hmm. This is a deep mountain forest. After Xiang Yuncong was killed, it's unlikely the perpetrator would be kind enough to bury him here, so his remains were probably buried by other brothers from the Flame Moon Sect."

Bai Yu silently nodded, "That should be the case. So the other brothers of the Flame Moon Sect are likely still alive, and the Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner is likely in their possession."

Jin Ling breathed a slight sigh of relief, "That's much easier then, at least the Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner won't be lost."

Bai Yu smiled, "Even if it's lost, it doesn't matter. The spiritual energy in this world has just revived, most of the natives here are ordinary people, and there are very few real cultivators. Even if someone else picks up the Glazed Soul-Seizing Banner, it would still be easy for us to retrieve it."

"Yes." Jin Ling nodded, then asked, "Now that we've confirmed Xiang Yuncong's death, where do we go next? How do we find the others?"

Bai Yu pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's walk around first and search. If we're lucky, we might encounter some people from that group."

Jin Ling nodded. Bai Yu waved several palm forces, and the decayed remains were reburied in the soil.

Afterwards, the two drove the Spirit Boat and flew out of the mountains, slowly flying above the vast mountain range.

"The spiritual energy of this world should be released from this enormous mountain range, which is a huge spirit vein mining site." After flying for more than an hour in the sky, Bai Yu said with slight amazement.

Jin Ling said, "Indeed, the spiritual energy here is very dense, comparable to some of the feng shui holy lands in our Flame Moon Sect. I just wonder if the resources of spirit stones in this gigantic mountain range are abundant."

Bai Yu shook his head, "We didn't bring any spirit stone measurement tools, so it's hard to investigate accurately."

Jin Ling silently nodded.

After flying in the void for a while, suddenly, a towering mountain peak appeared ahead, reaching into the clouds.

Jin Ling was surprised, "What a high mountain peak, it should be the main peak of this mountain range. Let's go take a look."

Bai Yu drove the Spirit Boat swiftly towards it.

A moment later, the two of them showed expressions of shock and became slightly agitated.

"The spiritual energy here is getting denser; such a Treasure Mountain almost matches the main peaks of the three Two-star Sects in the Southern Domain." Bai Yu was shocked.

Jin Ling was also somewhat excited, "Indeed, this feng shui holy land, if we established a cave mansion here, it would surely aid in cultivation greatly."

Bai Yu silently nodded and said, "Others must have discovered this main peak too; they might be on that main peak."

Jin Ling's eyes lit up, "Yes, they must be over there."

With the speed of the Spirit Boat, it took over an hour to finally approach the colossal main peak that had long appeared in their sight.

"There really are signs of human habitation on that mountainside." Jin Ling exclaimed.

"Not only that, there's also a Mountain Protection Array here." Bai Yu reminded.

Indeed, her heart skipped a beat, and she felt a Mountain Protection Array enveloping that large area of the mountainside.

"Did those people previously establish a base here?" Jin Ling asked.

Bai Yu frowned, "I'm afraid it's not that simple, be careful."

As the two of them truly approached the Mountain Protection Array, a powerful aura greeted them from the front.

Bai Yu and Jin Ling felt a chill in their hearts and became vigilant.

"Bai Yu, it's you?"

A surprised voice reached their ears from the front.

Upon hearing this voice, Bai Yu was slightly startled, and then said with some surprise, "Du Hui Daoist Friend, it turns out to be you, the Lingxiao Sect disciples are here."

The Foundation Establishment Cultivator who arrived with Sword Control was precisely Du Hui, and today happened to be his turn to patrol the periphery.

Du Hui scanned Bai Yu and Jin Ling with his eyes, internally shocked.

Bai Yu and Jin Ling weren't part of the previous team, yet they appeared here now.

What's going on?

Could it be that the third team already arrived on Earth?

It shouldn't be.

The Spirit Ship made a huge commotion when traversing the teleportation portal; they should have sensed it, so why was there no sign before?

Du Hui was incredibly confused and became more vigilant.

He hurriedly asked, "Bai Yu, how many of you came this time?"

Bai Yu was slightly alarmed and suddenly became more vigilant.

Instead of answering, he asked, "Where are our people from the Flame Moon Sect?"

Du Hui quickly said, "They had been here before but left for elsewhere after knowing that we from Lingxiao Sect had occupied this place first. It's not far from here; I can take you there."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu's inner vigilance relaxed slightly.

He looked towards the area of the Mountain Protection Array and couldn't help but ask, "Did Lingxiao Sect establish such a large base here? I see that large-scale mining seems to be occurring on the mountainside; is it the native inhabitants you brought?"

Du Hui laughed, "Of course, this place holds a massive spirit ore resource, rich in spirit stone resources, and not long ago, we even unearthed a Purple Spirit Crystal."

"What?"

Bai Yu and Jin Ling's eyes lit up, greatly shocked.

"Truly a Purple Spirit Crystal was unearthed?" Jin Ling asked.

Du Hui nodded with a smile, pulling a handful of top-grade spirit stones from his storage bag.

Seeing the quality of these spirit stones, Bai Yu and Jin Ling believed Du Hui by a few more degrees.

"This spirit ore resource is plentiful, dominatingly yielding top-grade spirit stones. Hahaha, our Southern Domain's cultivation world has truly struck it rich this time." Du Hui laughed.

Bai Yu and Jin Ling's eyes were gleaming, and Bai Yu asked, "May I ask, Daoist Friend Du Hui, where are our people from the Flame Moon Sect and Great Dao Sect, along with other three major cultivation families?"

Du Hui pointed directly to the back, "Over there, but still somewhat distant from here. Having traveled far, you may rest here for a while."

Bai Yu replied with a smile, "My junior sister and I just arrived, with assignments from our sect on us, eager to meet our sect brothers. We appreciate Daoist Friend Du's kindness; we will visit another time."

Du Hui, upon hearing this, expressed some regret, "If so, I won't keep you two."

Seeing him say so, Bai Yu and Jin Ling no longer had any doubts about him.

Bai Yu drove the Spirit Boat ready to leave, suddenly remembering something, and asked Du Hui, "Daoist Friend Du Hui, among the natives of this world, are there any Cultivator Warriors? Did you encounter conflicts with them after coming here?"

Du Hui nodded, "Yes, there are Foundation Establishment Cultivators here. We had clashes with them shortly after our arrival."

Bai Yu's eyes glinted sharply, and he asked, "Was it these natives that killed our Junior Brother Xiang Yuncong?"

Du Hui's heart skipped a beat.

How did these two, who just arrived on Earth, know that Xiang Yuncong was dead?

He feigned surprise, "Xiang Yuncong is dead?"

Bai Yu and Jin Ling fixed their gaze on Du Hui, with Bai Yu asking, "You didn't know?"
