"Let the past be the past. Sister-in-law, your first priority now is to take good care of yourself and Xian'er. It's not easy for the seventh brother to work outside. As long as you are well, he will be at ease to work outside."
Ye Xue comforted her, saying this to Lu Yue as well as herself.
Han Changming and Ye Xin have been away for more than ten years. She has no way to find them, so she can only take care of herself and her children and be filial to Han Changming.
It was not easy at all for Ye Xue to find time to visit her parents-in-law and Han Daohe, and also to take care of the children and supervise their homework.
Lu Yue nodded. She suddenly thought of something and swallowed the words back. She wanted to ask about Han Changming's whereabouts, but she didn't ask because it might be suspected of prying for information.
A low beast roar came from Ye Xue's body. She took out a palm-sized blue conch from her sleeve. The surface of the blue conch was covered with blue runes. These runes were only the size of rice grains and exuded a water aura.
She entered a spell, and Han Zhangxiang's voice suddenly rang out: "Ye Xue, are you free now? Come to the meeting room, I have something to tell you."
"That's convenient. I'll be there right away."
Ye Xue put away the blue conch and said to Lu Yue: "Sister-in-law, the clan leader wants to talk to me about something. I'll take my leave now. You have a good rest. I'll come to see you again after a while."
"Sister-in-law, I'll take you there."
Lu Yue didn't dare to ask more questions and personally sent Ye Xue away.
Not long after, Ye Xue came to the meeting room. In addition to Han Zhangxiang, Han Deling was also there.
"Ye Xue, did you go to see Lu Yue again? Is there anything abnormal with her?"
Han Zhangxiang opened his mouth to ask, Ye Xue had been married into the Han family for more than 20 years, and she respected the elderly and loved the young, and had won the trust of all the Han family members. As for Lu Yue, her motives for contacting Han Changjing at the beginning were not pure, and Han Zhangxiang found it difficult to trust Lu Yue.
If it weren't for Han Changjing's relationship and the existence of Han Xian, Han Zhangxiang would have killed Lu Yue long ago.
"There's nothing unusual about my sister-in-law. She has been staying at my seventh brother's place and hasn't asked about anything she shouldn't."
Ye Xue answered truthfully that Han Changming and others had not returned yet, and the Han family did not have many foundation-building cultivators. After Ye Xue gained Han Zhangxiang's trust, she began to participate in the family's decision-making.
"You still have to be careful. Lu Yue is different from you. She had ill intentions when she first came into contact with Chang Jiong."
Han Deling said with some concern.
Han Zhangxiang waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about her. Ye Xue, Shark Island is holding a large auction. It is said that there will be spiritual objects that can assist in forming a pill for auction. You and De Ling should go there!"
Han Changwu is in charge of Qingbie Market, Han Changjiong is in charge of Kuixing Market, Han Daojing is in seclusion practicing, Han Changxin and Han Daobin are out on business, and the only people who can be mobilized in the clan are Han Deling and Ye Xue.
"A spiritual object that assists in forming a pill? Clan leader, are we going to bid for a spiritual object that assists in forming a pill?"
Ye Xue asked excitedly, Han Zhangxiang has already cultivated to the great perfection of foundation building, if he has a spiritual object for forming a pill, he can break through to the Jindan stage.
"No, the Jindan spiritual object is too precious. There is probably only one copy. It is difficult for us to bid for it. Even if we bid for it, we may not be able to bring it back safely. You should mainly bid for other immortal cultivation resources, such as third-level demon pills, high-year spiritual medicines, etc."
Lu Yue is in Huludao, and Han Zhangxiang dare not leave Huludao easily, for fear that Lu Yue may cause trouble. Besides, the Han family has had relatively large expenses in recent years. After the spirit stone mine was handed over to Tinghai Pavilion, the Han family's income has shrunk significantly. There are only more than 400,000 spirit stones left in the Han family's treasury. Even if they can bid for a Jindan spirit object, it will be difficult for the Han family to bring it back to Huludao safely.
The resources for cultivating immortals in the Red Algae Sea are not abundant. Every time there is an auction of spiritual objects that assist in forming the elixir, they always fall into the hands of a few big forces such as Tinghai Pavilion.
I can't count on the spiritual objects that can help me form the elixir, but other things are possible.
"No problem, when do we leave?"
Ye Xue agreed immediately. This was the first time Han Zhangxiang had assigned her a task, so she naturally would not refuse.
Han Benfu has grown up and she doesn't need to worry too much. The most important thing is that if other tribesmen could be transferred, Han Zhangxiang would not send her.
"Let's go in two days! Uncle Daobin and Changxin are out on business, and Uncle Daojing is in seclusion practicing, so I have no choice but to go with you."
Han Deling explained that if she really didn't have enough help, she would not have called Ye Xue.
Ye Xue nodded and said, "No problem, Seventh Aunt, is there still no news about your husband and sister?"
"Not yet. Don't worry too much. They will be back in a few years."
Han Zhangxiang comforted them, saying that according to his estimation, Han Changming and the others should be back in another five or six years.
Ye Xue nodded and said nothing more.
······
Jinlong Sea, a certain sea area.
A green gourd flew through the sky, not very fast.
Han Changming sat cross-legged on the green gourd, looking anxious.
He has been searching for more than a month and has not found Han Debiao yet. He doesn't know what happened to Han Debiao. He is now worried that Han Debiao has been captured by the people from Jinlong Island.
Suddenly, the sensor bead in Han Changming's hand reacted suddenly, and after emitting a strong green light, it flew forward.
Not long after, the green gourd stopped over a deserted island several dozen miles in size.
Rather than being an island, it is actually a patchwork of hundreds of reefs of varying sizes, with very little vegetation.
Han Changming opened his spiritual sense and quickly swept across the island, but did not find anything unusual, and the sensing bead stopped in mid-air.
A silver light appeared in a certain void, and Mu Linger, Han Debiao and Han Changying appeared. Han Debiao's face was pale and he had bandages on his body.
"Uncle Wu, Fairy Mu, are you okay?"
Han Changming's heart tightened, and he made a gesture of magic, and the green gourd fell quickly to the ground.
"I'm fine, Fellow Daoist Han, did you meet Junior Sister Ma?"
Mu Linger's beautiful eyes were full of worry. Ma Tingting didn't join them. I wonder if something unexpected happened.
"No, I didn't run into Fairy Ma. She should be fine. Fairy Mu, don't worry too much."
Han Changming comforted her. Calculating the time, he had been away from the Suzaku Secret Realm for almost two months. Ma Tingting might have been in trouble as she had not reunited with Mu Linger for such a long time.
He looked at Han Debiao and asked nervously, "Uncle Wu, how did you end up like this?"
"I'm fine. The Suzaku Secret Realm suddenly collapsed. After leaving the Suzaku Secret Realm, I encountered several patrolling monks. I killed them and suffered some minor injuries. Thanks to Fairy Mu, otherwise I would not have survived, let alone avoided the enemy's pursuit."
Mu Linger is proficient in formations and her personal strength is also strong. If Han Debiao had not met her, he would have been in great danger.
Mu Linger's face was calm, and she said, "It's just a small favor. Fellow Daoist Han has come to our door. You can go now. I will just wait for Junior Sister Ma."
"Sister Mu, why don't you go to the market and wait! Waiting outside the market is still risky. Maybe Fairy Ma has gone to the market!"
Han Changying suggested kindly.
"No, I have already made an agreement with Junior Sister Ma that she will not go to the market. Even if she does, I believe she will meet up with me. Now that you are reunited, let's leave quickly! Jinlong Island has sent many people to look for us during this period. If it weren't for the formation given by Master, we would have been discovered by them long ago."
Jinlong Island and other forces have been making a big fuss recently and have sent a large number of people to search for the whereabouts of the four of them. However, so far, except for Ma Tingting who is missing, Han Changming and the other two are safe.
"Okay! Fairy Mu, take care of yourself and we'll see you again if we're lucky."
Han Changming did not refuse. He also wanted to leave the Golden Dragon Sea as soon as possible and return to the Red Algae Sea to reunite with his family.
"Fairy Mu, see you again if we are destined to."
Han Debiao and Han Changying jumped onto the green gourd one after another. Han Changming cast a spell, and the green gourd slowly rose and flew into the sky.
Not long after, the green gourd disappeared into the sky.
Golden Dragon Island, Golden Dragon Palace.
Master Jinlong was sitting on a golden jade chair, and True Man Chijiao was standing beside him, looking nervous.
"Why? Haven't you found those two yet?"
Master Jinlong's eyes were gloomy. Li Jiaojiao only got a dozen seven-hundred-year-old spiritual medicines, and another disciple got some puppet beasts, including two third-order puppet beasts. These things were relatively precious for foundation-building cultivators, but Master Jinlong was a Nascent Soul cultivator, so he naturally looked down on these things.
After the collapse of the Suzaku Secret Realm, True Man Chi Jiao immediately sent people to block off an area of sea and arrest the Foundation Establishment Monk who had entered the Suzaku Secret Realm. They only knew that two male monks had entered the Suzaku Secret Realm, but the other party did not use their true forms.
True Man Chi Jiao arrested a group of unfamiliar monks and interrogated them strictly.
The Suzaku Secret Realm has been closed for almost two months. The longer the time, the more difficult it will be to catch the murderer. Jinlong Island does not want to publicize the matter. It will be difficult to find the murderer relying solely on the power of Jinlong Island.
There are many immortal cultivators active in the Golden Dragon Sea. Golden Dragon Island has captured hundreds of foundation-building cultivators, which has had a very bad impact.
"Not yet, but seven days ago, the patrol team encountered a suspicious female cultivator. During the capture process, they accidentally killed her. In her storage bag, they found several three- to four-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs. This woman may have entered the Suzaku Secret Realm. The trouble is that she is a disciple of the Tianmo Sect of the Nanhai Cultivation Realm."
As True Man Chi Jiao spoke, he took out a green storage bag and handed it to Master Jin Long.
"What? A disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect?"
Master Jinlong frowned and spoke in a lost voice, his face turning very ugly.
The Tianmo Sect is one of the seven major sects in the South China Sea. Its strength is a little stronger than the Five Immortal Sects. However, the Tianmo Sect is an immortal cultivation sect in the South China Sea's immortal cultivation world. The Tianmo Sect is good at exorcising ghosts and demons, and is known as the largest sect in the South China Sea's magic world. It is not recognized by the immortal cultivation sects in the East China Sea.
A disciple of the Demonic Sect traveled to the East China Sea and died at the hands of the Golden Dragon Island. This matter was not a big deal, but it was not a small one either.
Master Jinlong hesitated for a moment and asked, "How many people know her identity?"
"There are only disciples and three foundation-building monks. Disciple has already silenced the three foundation-building monks and asked them to stay on Golden Dragon Island."
True Man Chi Jiao told the truth that his subordinates had killed disciples of the Demon Sect and he could not escape the blame, and he hoped that no one would know about it.
"This matter must not be spread outside. We have never heard of the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect being active in the East China Sea, nor do we know any disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect."
Master Jinlong thought for a moment and said this.
"Yes, Master."
Master Chi Jiao breathed a sigh of relief. This was undoubtedly the best way to deal with it.
······
Fire Lion Sea, Fire Lion Island.
Huoshi Island has a long history and is one of the five major markets in the Huoshi Sea area, with many merchants and travelers coming and going.
More than a year ago, the leader of Tianyang Sect passed away. Several elders fought among themselves for the position of leader. Other forces took the opportunity to attack Tianyang Sect. The external teleportation array of Fire Lion Island was temporarily closed. Now that the war is over, Fire Lion Island has naturally reopened the teleportation array.
There are more than a dozen teleportation arrays in the Fire Lion Hall. From time to time, immortal cultivators are teleported away, and some are teleported here.
A teleportation array emitted a muffled "buzzing" sound, and a thick silver beam of light suddenly shot up into the sky.
After the silver light beam dissipated, the figures of Han Changming, Han Debiao and Han Changying appeared.
The war in the Fire Lion Sea was over, and they were specially teleported to the Fire Lion Sea to meet up with Ye Xin and others.
"Fellow Daoist, which teleportation array is used to teleport to Tianyangfang City?"
Han Changming glanced at the nearby teleportation array, frowned, and asked a guard.
Ye Xin and others are in Tianyang Market. According to intelligence, there is a teleportation array on Fire Lion Island that can directly teleport to Tianyang Market, but Han Changming has not seen the teleportation array to Tianyang Market yet.
"Fellow Daoist, you may not know this yet! The teleportation array that leads to Tianyang Market has been dismantled. If you want to go to Tianyang Market, you can only fly there with your flying tool. The same is true for the other markets. The teleportation arrays that lead directly to Tianyang Market have all been dismantled."
The guard honestly said that there was an internal conflict in the Tianyang Sect, and other forces took advantage of the situation and sent people to the Tianyang Market to cause trouble. The Tianyang Sect was so angry that it closed all external teleportation arrays.
If cultivators want to rush to Tianyang Market, they can only fly there using their flying vehicles.
"Dismantled the direct teleportation array? Excuse me, when will it be re-established?"
Han Changming asked with a frown, Tianyangfang City is hundreds of thousands of miles away from Huoshi Island. If he flies by flying vehicle, it will take at least two months.
"I'm not sure about this. Either you stay on Fire Lion Island and wait for the formation to be rebuilt, or you fly to Tianyang Market."
"Our relatives and friends are stranded in Tianyang Market for some reason. We would like to know their situation. Please help us, fellow Taoist."
Han Debiao took out two medium-grade spirit stones and handed them to the guard.
The guard accepted the spirit stone and smiled happily, saying, "As far as I know, the teleportation array will not be rebuilt within three to five months. If you are worried about the safety of your relatives and friends, it is best to fly to Tianyang Market. It is a bit far, but it is better than waiting in the Fire Lion Island all the time."
"Thank you for your guidance, fellow Taoist."
Han Changming frowned slightly and walked out. Han Debiao and Han Changying hurriedly followed.
"Uncle Wu, Sister Wu, what do you think about this?"
Han Changming asked casually as he strolled along the spacious and clean street.
"Let's fly to Tianyang Market! It's not a good idea to keep waiting."
Han Debiao suggested.
Han Changying nodded and said, "I agree with Uncle Wu's opinion. Instead of waiting on Fire Lion Island, it is better to fly to Tianyang Market."
"I thought so too. Let's fly to Tianyang Market! I hope Ye Xin and the others are okay!"
After leaving the Fire Lion Island, Han Changming took out the gourd magic weapon and carried the three of them into the sky.
