654: Chapter 654 Fellow Daoists, let's all come out and have a chat!

Hearing this, Perfected Lei Ying and True Man Cangmu's expressions relaxed.

The Holy Master was still young, and younger generation Cultivators were generally more daring and prone to acting on impulse.

So after hearing the Holy Master's words just now, they were worried that he might impulsively decide to enter the Guixu Plain directly.

The Guixu Plain was not some Secret Realm filled with opportunities, but an extremely dangerous forbidden zone.

If anything were to happen to the Holy Master after entering the Guixu Plain...

...how could they explain it to the Grand Elders and the past Seniors of the Taixuan Holy Land!

Fortunately, the Holy Master did not plan to enter the Guixu Plain!

That put their minds at ease!

Su Yun then looked at the three Elders, his tone gentle.

"Let's go! It's time to set out. Even if we don't enter the Guixu Plain, we need to see what's happening there so we can decide on our next steps!"

"As you command, Holy Master!"

Perfected Chongyan and the other two cupped their hands and spoke in unison.

With a wave of his hand, Su Yun led the three of them out of the secret room in a flash, appearing outside the inn's entrance.

Just as he was about to leave Qingshi City, he suddenly sensed something and looked toward a nearby alley.

"Holy Master, what's wrong? Is there something special there?"

Seeing this, Perfected Lei Ying also looked in the direction Su Yun was facing, feeling puzzled.

However, she didn't sense anything unusual in that alley.

"An old acquaintance is here!" A sharp light flickered in Su Yun's eyes as he called out, "Fellow Daoists of the Dao Yi Holy Land, why not come out and meet us?"

"Hahaha, Taixuan Holy Master, long time no see! Your cultivation is as formidable as ever; we have nowhere to hide before your eyes!"

Clutching a staff and accompanied by several Dao Yi Elders, the Dao Yi Holy Master walked out of the alley, his body surrounded by a dazzling golden light. Despite his hobbling gait, he reached Su Yun's side in an instant.

When he looked at Su Yun, his eyes were full of respect and his face was covered in smiles.

"Dao Yi Holy Master, long time no see," Su Yun replied politely.

Then, he cast a meaningful glance toward another alley and a nearby pavilion. "Fellow Daoists from the other Holy Lands, come out and have a chat as well!"

Swish, swish, swish—

Several streaks of light flashed as a beautiful woman in a purple dress descended from the top of the pavilion with a graceful sway, accompanied by several stunning Fairies. They landed softly in front of Su Yun.

"Taixuan Holy Master, my apologies! I was delayed by a small matter and couldn't come out to greet you sooner."

The Holy Lord Yaochi spoke in a pleasant voice, bowing slightly with an apologetic expression.

"No need for that, Holy Lord Yaochi. You're being too polite..."

Su Yun waved his hand, speaking dismissively.

Seeing the Holy Lord Yaochi, he couldn't help but think of Liu Ruoxi.

It had been a long time since he last saw her.

But that wasn't surprising; he had been incredibly busy lately, with various matters and crises following one after another.

He simply couldn't find the time to go and see Liu Ruoxi.

A look of nostalgia crossed Su Yun's face. He paused, then asked directly, "By the way, I haven't seen Miss Liu in a long time. How has she been lately?"

"Oh, Ruoxi? She's been in seclusion recently. If the Taixuan Holy Master wishes to see her, feel free to visit our Jade Pool Holy Land some other day!"

The Holy Lord Yaochi smiled warmly and looked at him expectantly, her tone gentle.

"Not necessarily, I was just asking. As for visiting the Jade Pool Holy Land, let's talk about that another time."

Su Yun smiled and continued.

"Very well then. If the Taixuan Holy Master intends to visit, please be sure to contact me in advance so I can make the proper arrangements!"

A flash of disappointment crossed the Holy Lord Yaochi's eyes, and she spoke quickly.

"I understand, but there's no need to go to too much trouble."

"How could we not? It's only right! You are an honored guest, after all!"

Just then, a hearty and bold voice rang out.

"Taixuan Holy Master, surely you haven't forgotten to visit our Tianyang Holy Land! Our Tianyang Holy Land and your Taixuan Holy Land have been friends for many years!"

Several streaks of red light flew from another alley, landing in front of Su Yun's group in an instant.

Leading them was a middle-aged Cultivator in red robes—the Holy Lord Tianyang.

His expression was somewhat dejected as he stared intently at Su Yun with a burning gaze, as if looking at a dear friend.

"Not at all, Holy Lord Tianyang. Next time for sure." Su Yun's mouth twitched at the sight.

Hiss—this Holy Lord Tianyang's gaze is a bit... off!

Better keep my distance!

With that thought, Su Yun couldn't help but take a few steps closer to the Holy Lord Yaochi.

The Holy Lord Tianyang patted his chest and said enthusiastically, "Hahaha! Then it's a deal!"

"Alright," Su Yun nodded.

When the time comes, he would just let Elder Liu represent him and visit the Tianyang Holy Land!

In any case, Elder Liu frequently dealt with experts from other Holy Lands and was quite familiar with them.

The Dao Yi Holy Master gripped his staff and sighed with emotion. "I didn't expect so many Fellow Daoists from the Holy Lands to come to Qingshi City!"

He hadn't been there long before he ran into Su Yun and the others.

If it weren't for such a massive upheaval in the Spiritual Veins near Qingshi City, it would likely have been difficult to encounter the Holy Masters of the other three Holy Lands all at once.

"It's not just the four of us; Fellow Daoists from the remaining Holy Lands are here as well!"

As Su Yun spoke, he turned his head toward the other side of Qingshi City.

With his powerful Divine Sense, he could clearly perceive that not only had experts from the remaining Holy Lands arrived in Qingshi City, but many powerhouses from Cultivation Families had also come.

This even included Mahayana experts from Hidden Sects; although they were well-hidden, he still detected their presence.

"It's only natural... The commotion here is so great that even the Tianyao Region, which is very far away, sensed it."

The Holy Lord Yaochi's expression was grave, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes. "I wonder why the Spiritual Veins in the Eastern Central Domain have undergone such a massive upheaval?"

"By the way, have any of you discovered anything?"

"I've already led people to investigate various places several times, but we found nothing!"

The Dao Yi Holy Master tightened his grip on his staff and sighed softly. "Sigh... We haven't found anything unusual about the riots of these Spiritual Veins either."

Su Yun: "It seems our goals are much the same—we're all here to investigate the cause of the Spiritual Vein riots."

"Taixuan Holy Master, have you discovered anything?" the Holy Lord Tianyang asked with a hearty laugh.

Hearing this, the other two Holy Masters also looked at Su Yun expectantly.

"Taixuan Holy Master, you are exceptionally brilliant. You must have discovered something!"

The Dao Yi Holy Master raised his staff and tapped the ground lightly, his tone filled with absolute certainty. "After all, back outside Martial Immortal City, you were the first to discover the rules for entering the city!"
