118: Master and disciple reunite and set off for the secret realm.

The flying boat slowly docked at Nanming Lingxian Workshop. After Jiang Yan once again gave instructions to the Several women, he quickly transformed into a streak of red light and headed towards the Qingyun Sect.

'Cheap Master, you better wait for me!'

Jiang Yan displayed his Core Formation Realm Qi without reservation; he wanted to reach the Qingyun Sect at full speed.

"Who goes there?"

Just as he broke through the Qingyun Sect's early warning barrier, Sect Master and the other Peak Masters flew into the air together, vowing to block the invasion of an external enemy.

But just as they were blocking this red streak of light, Jiang Yan turned instantly and headed straight for the direction of the Teleportation Array.

"Quick, stop him! Don't let him destroy the Teleportation Array!" Sect Master shouted anxiously.

But when the several Peak Masters saw that speed, they were very frustrated because the red light before them was too fast; they couldn't intercept it at all.

"Hmm?"

Just as the second, third, and fourth teams of Inner Sect Disciples were entering the Teleportation Array, Zhang Xugu waved his right sleeve, and a barrier instantly blocked the top of the Teleportation Array.

But strangely, the red streak of light wasn't rushing toward the Teleportation Array at all; instead, it stopped near the team leader.

When that familiar Qi broke through the warning barrier, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. When the red light landed in front of him, he could no longer suppress his excitement.

"Disciple Jiang Yan greets Revered Master. This Disciple has fulfilled his mission and completed the task; please inspect it, Revered Master." Jiang Yan knelt on both knees and kowtowed three times heavily to Li Yi.

When the arriving Sect Master and others saw this scene, they were all stunned. Who would have thought that the person with the powerful Core Formation Qi was actually Jiang Yan!

Li Yi smiled as he helped Jiang Yan up and patted his shoulder, his tone gratified: "Good, very good."

When Li Yi touched Jiang Yan, Jiang Yan was shocked by Li Yi's hidden Qi.

"Revered Master, your cultivation..."

Before Jiang Yan could finish his question, Li Yi smiled and patted his shoulder again, interrupting: "Your Revered Master has simply returned to the Core Formation Realm, don't make a fuss."

Jiang Yan complained inwardly: 'You call this flawless Core Formation Qi "returning to the Core Formation Realm"?'

He was somewhat speechless. He had wanted to give Li Yi a surprise, but instead, this Cheap Master had given him a shock.

"You brat, your Qi isn't watered down either," Li Yi said with a smile via voice transmission.

Jiang Yan smiled awkwardly, but before he could speak, Li Yi asked: "Did you watch the crystal recording?"

"Yes." Jiang Yan nodded heavily. "It activated automatically on the flying boat back, otherwise, this Disciple wouldn't have returned at full speed."

"Alright, since you understand, are you willing to go with your Revered Master?" Li Yi asked with a smile.

"This Disciple returned precisely because I want to avenge Revered Master!" Jiang Yan said with a determined look.

Li Yi patted Jiang Yan's shoulder proudly, his tone gratified: "Good, then let us Revered Master and Disciple cause a grand scene. It's time to let this Eastern Region understand that some accounts need to be settled!"

"Um, Revered Master, there's something I want to ask of you." Jiang Yan suddenly poured a cup of cold water, instantly dousing Li Yi's passion.

"Hmm?" Li Yi was full of confusion. "What is it?"

Thus, Jiang Yan briefly explained Su Qingyan's situation. As for the matters regarding the other women, he didn't mention them; after all, it wouldn't be too late to talk about it after they returned.

After hearing Jiang Yan finish explaining Su Qingyan's situation, Li Yi hurriedly asked: "Where is that person now?"

"I estimate it will take another half a quarter-hour for her to arrive," Jiang Yan replied.

Hearing this, Li Yi didn't ask more and walked straight toward Zhang Xugu.

After all, the Teleportation Array had already been activated, and the first batch of Inner Sect Disciples had already been sent through, so Li Yi wanted his Senior Martial Uncle to wait for him for a moment.

Seeing Li Yi approaching, Zhang Xugu said directly: "I can only hold out for a quarter-hour at most. You'd better hurry."

"Thank you, Senior Martial Uncle." Li Yi gave a respectful bow, then turned and flew out of the Sect with Jiang Yan.

Arriving outside the Qingyun Sect's mountains, Li Yi took the Soul-Restraining Stone handed over by Jiang Yan, his tone somewhat surprised: "I didn't expect the Blood Fiend Sect to still retain such methods."

"Revered Master, is this method very strong?" Jiang Yan asked, puzzled.

Li Yi nodded, his tone sounding quite helpless: "Very strong, and not just normally strong, because this method comes from a Legacy of a disappeared Sect."

Hearing Li Yi's explanation, Jiang Yan hurriedly spoke about the clues regarding the Shangqing Immortal Sect.

"You say the Shangqing Immortal Sect is in the Northern Region of Great Li?" Li Yi asked in shock.

"Yes, that's what the Emperor Li and the Crown Prince said at the time," Jiang Yan confirmed.

"Good!" Li Yi was very excited, his tone becoming cheerful. "Once the Sect has overcome this crisis, you and I, Revered Master and Disciple, will go to that Northern Region of Great Li to investigate."

"By the way, Revered Master, take a look at this." As Jiang Yan spoke, he handed the remains of the White Shadow Demon to Li Yi.

Seeing the fist-sized remains, Li Yi's expression was very surprised: "Eh... what did this White Shadow Demon eat to grow up? How can it still evolve?"

Jiang Yan was somewhat speechless and directly spoke about his hunting of evil spirits in the Xuan Yin Mountain Range.

After listening to Jiang Yan's words, Li Yi fell into deep thought because he had never encountered anything like this; it was even a blank space in his knowledge.

"Revered Master, was what you told me just something you made up yourself?" Jiang Yan asked suspiciously.

Li Yi awkwardly rubbed his nose, his tone flat: "How could that be something your Revered Master made up? Those were just the experiences of the sages; your Revered Master was merely following their lead."

Jiang Yan was speechless; he didn't believe these words at all.

"They're here!"

Just as Jiang Yan wanted to ask more questions, Li Yi suddenly looked into the distance.

Jiang Yan was somewhat shocked; he even wondered if Li Yi had a radar installed in his head. He hadn't even sensed Su Qingyan and the others, yet Li Yi had discovered them directly.

As the Several women flew toward them, Jiang Yan finally felt it clearly this time; it was indeed Su Qingyan and the others.

"We need to hurry. In a moment, I'll have someone arrange for them to stay at Spirit Beast Peak," Li Yi said.

"Alright." Jiang Yan responded.

As Su Qingyan and the other women approached, Li Yi took out the Soul-Restraining Stone. Before Su Qingyan could react, his right finger pointed directly at her brow. Immediately after, a mysterious rune appeared on Su Qingyan's forehead.

"Gather!"

Li Yi shouted, and the Soul-Restraining Stone in his left hand instantly shattered. Following that, a wisp of green and purple light specks flew toward Su Qingyan's brow.

As the one soul and one spirit entered Su Qingyan's body, Li Yi's hands formed Seals, and a white flame suddenly rose from his palms.

"Settle!"

Both palms struck out simultaneously; one palm hit Su Qingyan's crown, and the other sealed the rune on her forehead.

Li Yi held up the unconscious Su Qingyan with one hand, let out a breath of turbid air, and a smile appeared on his lips: "This girl is not simple, a Glazed Jade Body... you brat, don't waste it."

Jiang Yan was speechless. He just wanted to save her and hadn't really thought about that aspect.

Li Yi didn't pay any more attention to Jiang Yan's embarrassment and directly returned the unconscious Su Qingyan to Lü Yue, saying: "You few follow me. This girl's soul needs quiet rest."

"Thank you, Senior." Lü Yue and the others thanked him in unison.

Li Yi smiled and waved his hand. Turning to Jiang Yan with an expression only the two of them could understand, he said: "Go wait for me at the Teleportation Array."

Seeing Li Yi's expression, Jiang Yan cupped his fists: "This Disciple obeys."

Although he didn't know what Li Yi wanted to say to him, it definitely had something to do with Su Qingyan.

In a short while, Li Yi arrived at the Teleportation Array. After bowing to Zhang Xugu, he stood within the Teleportation Array with Jiang Yan and the last batch of Disciples.

"You brat, do you know that girl's identity?" Li Yi sent via voice transmission while standing in the Teleportation Array.

"Revered Master, I don't know the Voice Transmission Technique," Jiang Yan said.

Li Yi rolled his eyes. To think a great Core Formation Cultivator still didn't know voice transmission... if this got out, it would be incredibly embarrassing.

"I'll teach you once we reach the destination."

"Thank you, Revered Master," Jiang Yan hurriedly thanked.

"Alright, preparing to teleport!"

As Li Yi's voice fell, the massive Teleportation Array instantly began to operate. Following that, a blue light curtain enveloped Jiang Yan and the others.

Feeling his body flying upward at extreme speed, Jiang Yan's heart began to throb wildly.

This was his first time experiencing something so exhilarating. Even the upward pressure when flying on a plane in modern times wasn't even a billionth of what this was.

It felt as if his Physical Body was flying wildly in front while his soul was chasing frantically behind... but simply couldn't catch up.

As his vision gradually blurred, he soon found himself surrounded by blue light spots. Then, everything before his eyes began to turn pitch black...
