334: Go back to Caotang and talk with Mr. San.

Mu Qianli calmly took a sip of wine at this moment: "You're still talking about it. I'm here to run errands this time."

"I was sent away, specifically to pick you up here."

Mu Qianli's words were slightly pointed, and Chu Yun immediately thought, who in the entire Thatched Cottage could make his Second Senior Sister run errands?

"Could it be Third Senior Brother who sent Senior Sister?" Chu Yun couldn't help but ask curiously.

Mu Qianli said: "Behind the emergence of the Dark Race and the downfall of the Xuanyuan Ancient Clan, his shadow is present."

"Upon returning this time, I will make him explain to me exactly what he intends to do."

"Little Junior Brother, come back with me."

"Your several Junior Sisters-in-law are all in the Limitless Realm. You can entrust your Great Xia Dynasty to them for settlement, so there's nothing to worry about."

Mu Qianli's address of "Junior Sisters-in-law" came out very naturally, making Meng Ruxue and Afuya a little embarrassed.

Yu Qingxin, on the other hand, had completely accepted it. After all, she had been to the Thatched Cottage once before and had interacted with the Gentlemen, so she was familiar with them.

Chu Yun couldn't help but glance at the women. Afuya, seeing this, said: "You go. Leave the Great Xia Dynasty to us, rest assured."

"Once you've handled things, just head directly to the area where Demon Island was previously located."

The settlement chosen by Chu Yun for the Great Xia Dynasty was precisely the area where Demon Island, one of the former top-tier forces, was located.

After Demon Island was destroyed, no one dared to covet that area because it was widely known that the people of the Thatched Cottage were responsible.

Seeing the women like this, Chu Yun nodded and said reassuringly: "Alright, I'll leave it to you."

"Senior Sister, let's go."

"Let's go."

Mu Qianli then got up and left the Great Xia Dynasty with Chu Yun.

After they left, Meng Ruxue looked in the direction they departed and slowly said: "Third Master of the Thatched Cottage... I had heard of his name before, the Chess Immortal of the Divine Continent Pure Land, but I haven't interacted with him."

"Xiner, you've met him, what do you think?"

Yu Qingxin carefully recalled her impression of seeing Third Master at the Thatched Cottage, and then spoke: "He has an elegant demeanor, and his cultivation... is in the Great Emperor Realm, but he gives off an unfathomable feeling."

"Anyway, my first impression was that I couldn't see through him at all."

Afuya then spoke: "They are all Disciples of the Master, yet this Third Master can make Second Master run errands. This shows that within the Thatched Cottage, this Third Master's standing is likely extraordinarily high."

Meng Ruxue listened to the two women's words and nodded: "I hope nothing goes wrong. Let's not have trouble come knocking as soon as we arrive in the Divine Continent Pure Land, before we've even had a chance to rest."

Afuya smiled upon hearing this: "I think it's unlikely. The emergence of the Dark Race signifies that the Divine Continent Pure Land is about to descend into chaos."

"Resting, I'm afraid, will be difficult."

"When soldiers come, block them; when water comes, cover it with earth."

......

Chu Yun and Mu Qianli, relying on their Limitless Realm speed and having no burdens, returned to the Thatched Cottage in less than half a day.

On Thatched Cottage Mountain, Third Master was playing chess in the pavilion. Mu Qianli brought Chu Yun up from below.

"Third Senior Brother."

Mu Qianli naturally sat opposite him, while Chu Yun still respectfully addressed him as Senior Brother and bowed.

Third Master smiled slightly and nodded, indicating: "Little Junior Brother has arrived, have a seat."

Chu Yun then sat down.

"Where are Fourth and Fifth?"

"Why don't I sense their Qi on the mountain?" Mu Qianli immediately took the initiative to ask.

"Both of them, like Sixth, found their respective Opportunities, so I sent them away from the Yuan Realm."

"If nothing unexpected happens, they should return with Sixth at that time," Third Master replied calmly after placing a chess piece.

Mu Qianli heard this and wasn't overly surprised. She then asked: "Alright then, I've brought the person."

"Now, you should explain everything you've done, Third Master."

Third Master had previously promised to explain to Mu Qianli upon her return.

Now, it was naturally time to fulfill that promise.

Third Master's expression was composed as he calmly said: "All of this was orchestrated by me in secret, including the demise and disappearance of the Xuanyuan Ancient Clan, which was also part of my plan."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yun's expression became slightly serious as he continued to listen.

Mu Qianli was not surprised by this; she had already guessed as much, so she continued to ask: "Then what's the purpose? What is it for?"

Third Master's gaze now turned towards the mountain forest where Xuanyuan Tian Chen was located, and he said: "It's for him, to break free from his shackles and achieve Immortal Martial."

Chu Yun and Mu Qianli's gazes followed, and they both sensed a massive immortal aura condensing within that forest.

Chu Yun realized that the aura belonged to the original Masked Man.

Mu Qianli didn't ponder too deeply, as if determined to get to the bottom of it, and continued to press: "What do you want Xuanyuan Tian Chen, who is about to Break through to Immortal Martial, to help you with?"

"Third Master, for so many years, you've been constantly traveling back and forth through various time nodes of the River of Time. No one in the entire Thatched Cottage, except for Master, knows why you're doing this."

"But I know that every Transmigration through a time node is absolutely perilous. One slip-up, and you could die without a complete corpse, shipwrecked within the River of Time."

"You've done so many things, yet you've always left us confused. I really dislike this feeling."

"Explain it clearly. If Junior Brother and I can help you, we will definitely do our best."

Hearing his Second Senior Sister voice all her doubts, Chu Yun was somewhat surprised. It was his first time knowing that his Third Senior Brother had been traversing through time nodes in various eras.

So what exactly was he trying to do? Or what was he looking for?

Third Master's hand, holding a chess piece, paused in mid-air. After a while, he placed the chess piece back into the chess pool.

He looked at Mu Qianli with a serious expression, and sincerely said: "Senior Sister, I am different from you."

"If I tell you too much, you will prematurely incur some terrifying and great Karma."

"Once you come into contact with such things prematurely, it will be an eternal damnation for you."

"So just trust that what I do will not harm you."

"As for why I want Tian Chen to Break through to Immortal Martial, I can only tell you that he is key to preventing Su Xi from activating the Dark Omen."

Chu Yun now grasped the key point in Third Master's words.

Regarding Third Master's purpose, Chu Yun didn't want to speculate too much for now, as it would only lead to unnecessary worries.

His expression became somewhat solemn as he asked: "Third Senior Brother, you said Su Xi would still activate the Dark Omen?"

"Didn't she guarantee back then that she wouldn't activate the Dark Omen in the Yuan Realm? Is she going to go back on her promise?"

After asking this question, Chu Yun had a change of thought and realized he had asked a pointless question.

Xuanyuan betrayed her first, so why would she need to abide by the promise of someone who betrayed her?
