The imperial concubine is charming and coquettish, she crazily criticizes the tyrant for spoiling he

“Then Tianluomen and Zhaixinglou will cooperate. Everyone will be divided into teams of ten and each team will select its own team leader. Team leaders should maintain contact with each other, as well as with me and Peak Master Yun, and report any situations promptly.” Elder Su Xun took out a palm-sized exquisite ball. The mechanism was activated, and the exquisite ball split into five petals from the top outwards, revealing a small tree inside. Each node on the branches had a small bell hanging from it.

"The selected squad leaders come here to receive a bell, and at the same time, infuse their spiritual power into it."

The disciples of Zhaixinglou and Tianluomen often cooperated on missions, so they quickly formed groups. Qing Sang and her group of six formed their own team and did not join theirs. So Qing Sang also went up and received a bell. The bell was tongueless and would not make a sound when first held in her hand. However, when she infused it with spiritual energy, she discovered that a new bell had appeared on the branch where Su Xun had originally taken the bell, and that bell emitted a crisp "ding-a-ling" sound because of the infusion of her spiritual energy.

"This is Elder Su Xun's unique magical artifact, called the Exquisite Chess. As for its function, you'll find out in a moment," Yun He explained to Qing Sang as she curiously examined the bell in her hand.

Including Qing Sang, everyone who came was divided into 35 teams. After all the team leaders received their bells, Elder Su Xun lightly tapped the branch of the small tree inside the Linglong Chess. The five petals of the Linglong Chess, which had split open, emitted light that quickly converged in the air to form a chessboard-like pattern. Now, only the very center of the chessboard was lit up.

Now everyone understood the function of this magical artifact. No wonder it was called "Exquisite Chessboard"—it wasn't for playing chess, but rather, with the exquisite sphere at the center, the position of each small bell was displayed on the chessboard, with the horizontal and vertical axes showing their specific locations. Since they were still gathered together, only the central point of light was illuminated. Furthermore, if other people with bells were nearby, they could sense each other's presence. They could also use these bells to contact Su Xun at any time. This was truly a useful magical artifact for group missions, which was why Su Xun had remained the most popular elder of the Tianluo Sect for so many years.

"Alright, let's go. Everyone stay alert and don't get separated. If you do, help each other within your team; survival is the priority." Su Xun looked at everyone and gave the order. Actually, he didn't need to be so careful, but after the beast tide dissipated, he realized he had lost contact with the Tianluo Sect members who had come earlier. This news would definitely cause panic, so he only informed Yun He privately, and the two of them tried their best to protect these disciples.

As for the direction of travel, it was actually Qing Sang who led the way. Because after Yun He realized that she couldn't contact the advance team, she immediately told Qing Sang and asked if Qing Sang had any way to contact her parents.

Qing Sang did indeed have one. Her father had told her long ago that when her mother had to leave her to return to the Ten Thousand Demon Palace, she left a mark on her body. If she ever came to the Ten Thousand Mountains, she could recognize her by this mark, which was hidden on her forehead. Following her father's instructions, Qing Sang pricked her right thumb and pressed it to her forehead. After a brief moment of warmth, a red leaf shape appeared on her forehead, exactly the shape of her own leaf. This red mark on her forehead was like a red flower ornament, adding a touch of bewitching allure to Qing Sang's originally lively face. The Tianluo Sect disciples who were nearby and noticed this change were completely mesmerized.

The moment this mark appeared, Qing Sang sensed it in his mind, giving him a general direction—the direction they were currently traveling. If the entire Ten Thousand Mountains were to face a crisis, the Myriad Demon Palace would undoubtedly be the last line of defense. Therefore, going to the Myriad Demon Palace would be directly addressing the core of the problem, making it a faster and more direct approach. (End of Chapter)
