Mortal: My name is Ma Liang, and I also possess a magic brush.

Looking at the surrounding seascape, Ma Liang was surprised to find that there was no teleportation array leading directly to Tianxing City; he had to take a boat from the outside to enter.

He glanced at the various pedestrians on the boat and suddenly remembered the scene in the animation where Wen Siyue sold Han Li a map of Tianxing City.

More than sixty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and I wonder what the current situation of Wenqiang and his family is like.

Before long, they arrived at a gate, exactly as seen in the animation.

The ship pierced through layers of blue light curtains and sailed straight in, instantly surging in a wave of bustling noise.

"Is this Tianxing City?"

As he was observing the scene before him, he suddenly sensed a faint light flickering in the spirit beast pouch, as if it were about to burst out of the pouch.

Ma Liang quickly pressed down on the bag opening, "Don't come out now! You're too big; if you suddenly appear, it might disturb others."

Ma Liang shouted to stop the Awakening of Insects, which finally calmed the flickering light.

The boat quickly docked and came to a stop. Ma Liang followed the others toward the inspection area.

Seeing everyone handing their identity rings to the inspectors for verification, he suddenly remembered the rules of Tianxing City.

Entering the city requires obtaining an identity ring and paying a residence fee, although it seems that Core Formation stage cultivators are exempt from this fee.

With that in mind, Ma Liang stopped queuing, walked up to the inspector, and said directly, "I'm in the Core Formation stage, give me a ring."

When the inspector saw someone suddenly step forward and ask for the ring, he was about to reprimand them when a powerful aura of a Core Formation stage cultivator suddenly descended upon them.

His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly composed himself, forcing a fawning smile onto his face: "So you're a senior, my apologies!"

As he spoke, he took out an identity ring from a box beside him, presented it to Ma Liang with both hands, and then took out a registration book to add, "Senior, according to the rules, you still need to register here."

Ma Liang ignored his politeness, took the ring directly, casually wrote "Ma Liang, Core Formation Stage" in the register, and then threw the register back.

He put on the ring without a second glance at the verification personnel and stepped into Tianxing City.

Before coming to Tianxing City, he had already inquired about the changes on Nuluo Island and found that the great changes on Kuixing Island sixty years ago were exactly the same as the plot of the animation.

However, it wasn't Wen Qiang who betrayed them; the traitor in the Six-Linked Palace was someone else, and the Miaoyin Sect Master and his wife still perished in the city.

Therefore, if the plot still holds true, then if he wants to find Wu Chou, he should directly approach Zi Ling.

A thought suddenly occurred to him: I wonder if Han Li has formed his core yet?

With this in mind, he made up his mind to go to Miaoyin Gate first.

After all, once we get there, we can figure out many things.

He casually stopped a Qi Refining stage cultivator, "Do you know where the Myriad Sounds Sect is located?"

The cultivator first glanced at Ma Liang, his expression somewhat casual.

Ma Liang released only a trace of his Core Formation stage aura, and the cultivator's face instantly turned deathly pale, becoming extremely submissive.

"Senior!" he stammered, pointing to a distant mountain peak. "Look over there, that's the headquarters of the Myriad Sounds Sect!"

Ma Liang glanced in the direction he pointed, then took to the air and flew towards that mountain peak.

As soon as Ma Liang arrived at the mountain peak, he immediately attracted the attention of the disciples of the Miaoyin Sect, and a series of wary gazes instantly focused on him.

With a sweep of his divine sense, he instantly located Zi Ling's position and immediately transmitted his voice, "I am Ma Liang. I have important matters to discuss with Sect Leader Wang. May I see you?"

In the quiet room on the top floor of the Miaoyin Sect, Zi Ling was meditating cross-legged when a divine sense transmission entered her sea of ​​consciousness. She suddenly opened her eyes, and her divine sense instantly spread out.

A figure was detected standing above the sect. A sweep of divine sense revealed the aura of a Core Formation stage cultivator.

Zi Ling muttered something to herself, then immediately stood up, walked to the edge of the terrace, and bowed respectfully to Ma Liang in the air. "Senior, may I ask what business you have with me?"

Ma Liang glanced at Zi Ling and saw that she was indeed a stunning beauty, but he did not linger there and flew straight down to the terrace.

"This is hardly the place to talk. Is there somewhere quiet?"

Zi Ling felt a slight chill in her heart, but maintained a respectful expression: "Senior, if you have something important to say, you can speak here."

Ma Liang also felt that going to the quiet room immediately after meeting would indeed arouse suspicion.

With a flick of his wrist, a flash of light appeared, and an isolation shield instantly enveloped the entire terrace.

Throughout the Miaoyin Sect, the disciples were all astonished and uncertain when they saw the terrace enveloped in a protective shield of spiritual light.

Some people stood there, craning their necks to look.

Several quick-witted individuals turned and hurried away, seemingly to inform the elders in the household.

A woman carrying a tray was approaching the pavilion. Upon seeing the strange phenomenon on the terrace, she was taken aback: "Miss, who are you talking to?"

She was a Foundation Establishment cultivator with eyesight far superior to ordinary people. The isolation barrier only blocked sound but not sight. Upon closer inspection, she felt that the person looked somewhat familiar and suddenly remembered who he was.

"It's that senior!"

The woman was startled and, no longer caring about the tray in her hand, hurried upstairs.

Inside the protective barrier, Ma Liang stared directly at Zi Ling, "Are you thinking of taking revenge on Wu Chou? Have you tried to get revenge on him recently?"

Zi Ling's heart tightened suddenly, and her expression instantly became alert. "Senior, what are you talking about? This junior doesn't understand."

Ma Liang then realized he had been too direct in his question. He paused for a moment, then said, "Don't misunderstand, I also have a grudge against Wu Chou. I just don't know if you've already taken any action. If you have a plan for revenge, I might be able to lend a hand."

Zi Ling's mind raced: Why is this senior speaking so bluntly? Could he be sent by the Extreme Yin Island to test me?

The more she thought about it, the more alarmed she became. She quickly took a few steps back and looked at Ma Liang with increasing vigilance.

"Senior is too kind. I am aware of my own limited strength and have no intention of seeking revenge against Wu Chou."

Seeing that Zi Ling's expression was becoming increasingly wary, Ma Liang couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Since reaching the Core Formation stage, he seems to have become increasingly impulsive, and his speech has become less roundabout.

Now that the other party has become suspicious, it will be difficult to regain their trust.

As he was racking his brains trying to prove he meant no harm, someone suddenly came up the stairs.

The sound barrier only blocked sound, not defense, and the person walked in without any hindrance.

Ma Liang and Zi Ling glanced sideways at the same time. Upon seeing this, Zi Ling's heart tightened.

"Siyue! How could you be so reckless? Get out of here immediately, lest you offend your senior!"

Wen Siyue was scolded by Zi Ling, but she didn't take it to heart at all. Instead, she chuckled and went straight to Ma Liang, standing beside him.

"Senior! It really is you! Senior!"

Ma Liang and Zi Ling were both taken aback.

Ma Liang was the first to come to his senses. He looked at Wen Siyue, his heart filled with doubt. Wen Qiang was clearly not dead, so why did she still enter the Miaoyin Sect?

Zi Ling was completely shocked. Her beautiful eyes widened, and she couldn't understand how Si Yue could know this Core Formation senior who had suddenly arrived.

Ma Liang feigned complete unfamiliarity, his brows furrowing slightly. "Who are you?"

Wen Siyue panicked, "Senior, I am Wen Siyue! Wen Qiang's daughter!"

"Wenqiang..." Ma Liang pretended to realize something, then looked her up and down. "Oh, it's you. You've grown so much."

Wen Siyue's face lit up with joy, her smile impossible to hide: "Senior, you finally recognized me!"

Ma Liang shook his head helplessly: "You've changed so much. If you hadn't introduced yourself, who would recognize you? By the way, how is your family doing these days?"

Wen Siyue immediately stepped back and bowed respectfully.

"We were so grateful for your guidance back then. If it weren't for your help, our whole family would probably have died on Kui Xing Island decades ago."
