She is Jianxiu

Seeing this, Guan Boyan was about to enter the water, but to his surprise, after releasing his divine sense, he couldn't find even the slightest trace of Wang Yuexun. He was greatly surprised, thinking to himself that even with his magical powers, if the other party had entered the water, it would be impossible for her to completely disappear for a short time, let alone in such a short period of time.

It is clear that Wang Yuexun must possess some superior magical artifact, which allowed her to escape from the water while Qin Yuke was holding back the Taiyuan disciples!

Her movements were extremely fast. The moment she entered the water, even with Qin Yuke's keen eyesight, she only caught a glimpse of a streak of light, let alone the three Taiyuan disciples.

Seeing Wang Yuexun escape in the chaos, the three men were filled with regret. One of them, who was impatient, immediately turned around and went into the water without saying a word.

"Wait!" The man in the middle quickly stopped him, giving him a meaningful look, "The underwater terrain is complicated; neither of us can go there."

The man didn't understand at first, but then he realized what was going on. After subtly sizing up Qin Yuke and the others, he said with concern, "But if we don't chase after them, the elders will blame us when we get back. What should we do?"

"You wouldn't know that."

The man who spoke rolled his eyes, secretly considering the identities of the Zhaoyan disciples in front of him. He thought to himself that the cultivators who had been able to travel on the East Sea these days were most likely the disciples brought by Zhaoyan Zhao Chun. If he could kill them here and hand their heads over to the elders of the sect, how could he not atone for his sins!

In an instant, a deep killing intent spread out. Qin Yuke snorted coldly. How could she not see what these three Taiyuan disciples were planning? She shrugged her shoulders, and more than a hundred sword energies shot up. She was not afraid of the people in front of her at all!
Not to mention that Taiyuan only had three people, and she also had Guan Boyan and others to help her. Even if she were alone, she would be confident of escaping unscathed against three opponents.

...However, I will have to wait until I return to report to my mentor about Wang Yuexun's matter.

On the East Sea, the disciples of the two sects were about to fight, but the one who had instigated the conflict had already fled into the sea, transforming into an elusive beam of light, and heading deeper and deeper into the deep sea.

Wang Yuexun herself couldn't say for sure how long she had been walking. In her dazed state, she seemed to hear the sounds of bells, drums, and flutes, followed by the sounds of conversation, some low and some high-pitched, a chaotic cacophony that made her head throb with pain.

Suddenly, with a clang, the mysterious light that had submerged in the sea abruptly spat out a figure. Wang Yuexun stood up with her eyes half-closed, and after she regained some clarity, she quickly reached out and took the mysterious light into her arms.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the source of the light was a palm-sized cauldron, bronze in color and with an ancient design. At first glance, it was impossible to discern anything particularly special about it.

But Wang Fengyan claimed that this very artifact was a life-saving item and asked her to take it underwater to a certain old site she had mentioned.

Because of the severity of her tone, Wang Yuexun didn't dare to ask any more questions. She took the things and set off, but the people from Taiyuan arrived even faster. If Wang Fengyan hadn't given her a teleportation talisman, she probably wouldn't have been able to leave this sect's territory!

Suppressing the lingering fear in her heart, Wang Yuexun put away the cauldron and took out a strangely shaped talisman from her sleeve. It had little spiritual light on it, but after she crushed it, a little golden light slowly emerged, pointing the way to the dark sea.

"The old site...the old site...I must get there as soon as possible to save Elder Fengyan's life."

……

The news of her encounter with Wang Yuexun at sea has not yet reached Zhao Chun's ears. She has not had time to investigate her disciple's whereabouts these past two days because the sea area under Liu Xuan's control has caused a lot of trouble because of her entry into the East Sea.

As mentioned earlier, the nine princes of the Sun Palace are currently engaged in fierce competition for the throne, employing a variety of methods.

As a rising star, Liu Xuan was not taken seriously by the previous imperial princes. However, after Zhao Chun arrived, a strange rumor began to circulate at sea. It was said that the Six-Winged Bluebird clan had colluded with Zhao Yan to seize the throne. They were waiting for the strange people and demons on the shore to enter the sea so that the two sides could work together from the inside and outside to claim a huge credit and stand out from the imperial princes.

This statement has many flaws, but the demon race is fierce, and with the throne at hand, Liu Xuan, as a human, consumed the blood of the Emperor Crow. There are quite a few elders who are unwilling to accept this. Combined with this statement, within just a few months, many celestial demons have come to investigate, unwilling to let Zhao Chun stay here any longer.

Liu Xuan flatly refused, leaving no room for argument: "Now that I am the Emperor's son, there is no reason for A Chun to stand up for me anymore. My cousins ​​are here for your sake on the surface, but secretly, I don't know how much they have been encouraged by Tai Yuan, so I can't let you take any risks."

"In that case, I'll have to rely on Senior Sister's protection for now." Zhao Chun smiled and bowed slightly. "Why are you being so cheeky!"

Liu Xuan feigned anger and scolded, but Zhao Chun straightened her expression and said seriously, "I'm not joking with you, Senior Sister. The other day, Fellow Daoist Yan's two disciples have already replicated a small array. Once the location is determined, I can set off to find the array's core."

"To avoid attracting attention, I will recall Yu Ke before I leave and have her hold my sword energy to guard this place... However, I am not here myself, so I will need Senior Sister and Senior Qingzhi's help with many things."

Liu Xuan was startled, then frowned and said with a sigh, "Since you have made up your mind, how could I not help you? However, Taiyuan has dominated the East Sea for over a hundred years and has devoted all his efforts to creating this great formation. The core of the formation must be heavily guarded and cannot be entered easily. Be careful in everything you do, and put your own life first."

After speaking, he took out a green feather from his bosom and said, "Take this. If you encounter any difficulties, ask Elder Shangyin for help. I have already told her that no matter what, she must protect your life."

Zhao Chun took the feather and remained silent for a moment, but she knew in her heart that she would not use it.

Shang Yin, as an elder of the Sun Palace Clan, may not be underestimated among Void Realm cultivators, but Taiyuan, as one of the immortal sects, has more than one Void Realm cultivator. The Three Lights Manifestation Array is similar to the mountain-protecting array of Zhou Yuan Array Sect back then. If it were to unleash its full power, it could probably even stop cultivators at the Origin Realm stage. If a Void Realm cultivator goes there, it's hard to say that he's just walking into a trap.

Moreover, the Shangyin clan elder has a special identity. Once the Taiyuan Dao Sect finds a pretext, Liu Xuan and Qing Zhi will be in real trouble!
She retreated into the room, picked up the talisman containing her disciple's essence, and saw that several of the talismans were shining brightly, indicating that they were currently engaged in a magical battle. She then put the talisman down, flicked her finger, and sent out a sword aura that carried the message to recall her disciple. The sword aura flew silently into the distance.

Currently, none of them show any signs of weakness, so Yu Ke and the others are probably not facing any powerful enemies. They should be able to recover in a few days.

Zhao Chun waited patiently for two days. Finally, Zhu Yu and Chang Wanli came out with results, and her disciples Yu Ke and the others also showed signs of returning. However, when she returned, her expression was solemn, which surprised Zhao Chun. She couldn't help but ask, "Did you encounter any difficulties on this voyage?"

Qin Yuke shook her head, the blood still lingering on her body, clearly indicating she had killed someone. Facing her master's question, she answered readily, saying, "It's not a difficult matter, just a strange one. When I went out to sea with Yun Rong and the others, we encountered Taiyuan disciples chasing our cultivators. Only after asking did we learn that the woman being chased was actually a remnant of the Changwu Wang clan, named Wang Yuexun."

"This disciple originally intended to capture her and bring her back to await Master's punishment, but she unfortunately escaped. It is all this disciple's fault."

As for the Taiyuan disciples who chased after Wang Yuexun, Qin Yuke didn't mention them much, but judging from these words, they probably weren't any better off than Wang Yuexun.

Zhao Chun could see clearly that her disciple was very strong, and there were very few people of the same level who could rival her. Moreover, she was not a reckless or careless person. Wang Yuexun was able to escape from her and her group, so she must have had some extraordinary encounter. She couldn't blame anyone else.

Therefore, he said with tolerance, "She and Wang Fengyan, an elder of the Changwu Wang clan, were able to survive the attacks of many elders and disciples of the sect back then, so they could not possibly be simple people. This is not your fault. Even I, as her master, could not have imagined that Wang Yuexun would appear here."

“However,” Zhao Chun changed the subject, her eyes narrowing, “since Wang Yuexun has appeared in the East Sea, Wang Fengyan probably isn’t too far away either. When the two of them escaped from the sect, they would have had a hard time surviving all these years without a place to stay. Now it seems that Taiyuan is probably protecting them.”

"I might as well take this opportunity to investigate thoroughly before I set off."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yuke immediately understood that the matter of the location of the array's core had been roughly resolved; otherwise, her mentor would not have spoken in this way.

But the fact that she has been recalled at this critical juncture suggests that she is to be entrusted with an important task, so I must not let my guard down!
As expected, after Zhao Chun finished speaking, she called her disciple Yu Ke forward and gave her detailed instructions. She then divided her sword energy into three streams and instructed her, "To avoid being noticed by Tai Yuan, you and I will work in the open and in the shadows. You will handle the matters in the open. Tai Yuan will not be completely unaware of this and will likely send people to investigate repeatedly. You do not need to show your face. Just let my sword energy intimidate them when necessary. If you encounter any difficult decisions, just ask your Senior Liu. They will naturally assist you."

Qin Yuke received the sword energy, deeply feeling the weight of her responsibility, and her face became solemn and dignified.

Three days later, Zhao Chun's voice indeed disappeared without anyone noticing. She then took over the reins of her master and slowly released her aura. Upon closer inspection, it appeared to be flawless.

It might be easy to deceive others, but to deceive a powerful cultivator, it would be truly difficult without using some special methods.

Lamenting this predicament, Zhao Chun, following the approximate location given by Zhu Yu, coincidentally chose the same spot as Wang Yuexun, both hiding inside a cauldron and silently descending into the sea. (End of Chapter)
