How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Xingyun chuckled twice: "The good news?"

"The good news is..."

Hongling tilted her head back expressionlessly, shaking the communication spirit stone in her hand.

"We still have a way to call for help from the sect. This one is for contacting Elder Huo."

Hmm, I don't even know if it will be able to receive the signal from this far away, I guess I'll just have to try it out of desperation.

"That……"

Xingyun looked anxious: "Where are Sister Hongli and the others? When will we get to Five Colors City?"

"Do you still have the mind to worry about those things now?"

Hongling sighed, "Let's escape this crisis first. Hmm, we might get there in three or four days at the earliest, but who knows if it takes longer..."

Xingyun: "Ah, this..."

Gaga: "Gaga! It's...it's all over!"

"Gaga, shut up!"

"Gah..."

.........

"Ha! Xiaoling and Xiaoyun, I've missed you so much after just one day!"

Elder Huole waved his hand with a smile: "How is it? Have we arrived at our destination?"

"Uh……"

"Well……"

Hongling and Xingyun exchanged a glance, then looked at Elder Huole blinking, and simultaneously gave an embarrassed smile: "Guess!"

Elder Huo Le: "???"

The elder's smile gradually froze, replaced by a solemn expression. He asked in a heavy tone, "How many of you are still alive?"

"Oh, so everyone's still alive..."

Xingyun chuckled twice: "It's like this, hehehe..."

"uh-huh."

Hongling, expressionless, operated the controls on the airship for a moment, quickly confirming their current coordinates.

"As you can see on the map, we are now surrounded by darkness."

"That's it..."

Elder Huo Le sighed and turned away.

"Don't worry, I'll go find you a map of the southeast region right away... Hmm? Another communication?"

Before he could finish speaking, another communication spirit stone lit up beside Elder Huo Le. It is said that he has used this thing the most times since it was developed and perfected.

Maybe in the future he won't do anything but sit in the house answering communications.

This is called "comprehensive planning without leaving home, mobilizing troops from thousands of miles away." Do you understand the value of Elder Huo?

Place this communication spirit stone next to the one Hongling and the others have, and two images will appear in front of you at the same time. If there are a few more, it will become a video conference.

"Hey! Senior brother? Boom! Can you hear me? Boom!"

Elder Tu's face appeared on the screen, but for some reason, the screen kept shaking.

"Ok?"

Elder Huo frowned: "Junior brother, what happened on your end? Why does the screen keep shaking?"

"Oh, it's alright!"

The elder shouted at the top of his lungs to prevent the surrounding noise from drowning him out.

"You can think of it like this: we found the problematic ley line, then I led a group up there and slapped it twice to make it behave, but the ley line still wouldn't have it and is causing trouble now..."

Tulou turned to look at his disciples behind him and nodded: "But don't worry, this thing is not a threat to us. It's just that the mortals living nearby need to be evacuated and resettled."

Send someone with our clan's airship to transfer these people away!

"What about the Boundless Sword Sect?"

Elder Huo frowned and said, "Don't their sects also have large flying vehicles?"

"They've been tied up with other things. A number of evil cultivators have taken advantage of the chaos caused by the previous earthquake to cause trouble, and we need them to go and kill them!"

Elder Tu explained, "So, Senior Brother, please send someone over quickly. Our coordinates are here..."

"Oh, I understand. I'll send someone right away..."

Before Elder Huo could finish speaking, he suddenly froze, glancing at the coordinates provided by Elder Tu, then at Hong Ling and the others, looking at the coordinates, then at Hong Ling, then at the coordinates again…

"what happened?"

Tulou looked at Elder Huo, who remained motionless, and asked in confusion, "Senior Brother? Is there anything else you want to say?"

"Uh……"

Elder Huo asked somewhat uncertainly, "Um, are you currently in the southeast region?"

"Oh! Yes, is there a problem?"

Tulou frowned and said, "Isn't the coordinates already clearly displayed on the map?"

"hiss……"

Elder Huo gasped and quickly compared the coordinates provided by Hong Ling with those of the Tulou.

"Um...Junior Brother..."

Elder Huo looked at the earthen building with a strange expression.

"You can prepare to receive the airship as it lands. The people I sent are already on their way."

"Hmm? Senior brother is pretty efficient!"

Tulou showed a satisfied expression, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little.

"What do you mean? When will they arrive? Tomorrow? The day after?"

"Uh……"

Elder Huo told the truth: "Probably within half an hour."

Tulou: "Let me know... um?"

Tulou: "???"

"Ahem, that..."

Elder Huo turned to look at Hong Ling and smiled, "Well, Xiao Ling, you can rest assured. I have confirmed your location and will soon be able to plan a correct route for you!"

"Ha! That's pretty efficient!"

Hongling looked pleasantly surprised: "Elder, you're still very reliable at crucial moments!"

"Hehe, you flatter me..."

Elder Huo smiled sheepishly and changed the subject.

"Well, before that, there's something I need to ask you to do..."

.........

Five-Colored City, at the market.

Hei Yang and Hong Li walked hand in hand, skipping and hopping, their faces full of joy.

In their other hand, they held a handful of colorful skewers from a roadside stall, which looked incredibly tempting.

"Xiao Li, try this corn skewer, it's so sweet!"

Hei Yang grinned and held the corn skewer to his girlfriend's lips. Hong Li tilted her head forward slightly, opened her small mouth, and took a big bite. Then her eyes lit up.

"Mmm, it's really sweet, delicious!"

"hey-hey."

"Old Yang, you should try these lamb skewers, they're really fresh!"

With a big smile, Hongli raised her arm and offered the meat skewers in her hand to Heiyang's mouth, letting him enjoy the delicious food.

"It's really fresh!"

Hei Yang nodded affirmatively at first, then revealed his crescent-shaped eyes and looked at his girlfriend with some speechlessness.

"But what does 'Old Yang' mean? Am I that old?"

"Any questions?"

Hongli tilted her head back and said confidently, "Aren't you older than me?"

"Only three days..."

"That's old!"
