A mortal cultivating immortality can nurture spirit beasts.

On the Moon Spirit Boat

Wen Min suddenly looked at Hong Fu and Dong Xuan'er, "Hong Fu, why did you betray Huangfeng Valley?"

Hong Fu thought for a moment and said, "Because I want to seek revenge on that person and don't want to implicate Yellow Maple Valley, I chose to leave. I wonder if Uncle Wen is satisfied with this answer?"

Upon hearing this, Wenmin frowned. Her intuition told her that this matter was probably not so simple. Why did Hongfu choose to seek revenge on Yunlu now instead of earlier or later? This was clearly suspicious.

Wen Min suddenly looked at Dong Xuan'er and asked, "Who is this girl? What is your relationship with her?"

Hong Fu's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. If Dong Xuan'er's identity were exposed, Wen Min would definitely not let her go. However, if she didn't come up with a plausible reason, Wen Min wouldn't be so easily fooled.

Thinking of this, Hong Fu spoke up, "She is my disciple. I brought her here this time because..."

At this point, Hong Fu suddenly looked at Lin He, who cursed inwardly, "Why does everything have to happen to me?"

But he couldn't deny it, because Dong Xuan'er had indeed come for him.

Hearing that it was related to Lin He again, Wen Min suppressed the urge to slap him to death and patiently asked,

"What? Your apprentice has fallen for this kid too?"

Dong Xuan'er wasn't stupid. If Wen Min found out that she was the daughter of the old demon Yunlu, she would be doomed.

In a more serious case, she could be killed on the spot; in a less serious case, she might be placed under house arrest for life, or used to negotiate with Yunlu.

Being placed under house arrest or used as a bargaining chip are considered relatively good outcomes. If it were someone more brutal, they might even be thrown into a group of men.

After all, many cultivators from the six sects of Yue Kingdom died at the hands of the Hehuan Sect disciples. If their families knew Dong Xuan'er's identity, how would they seek revenge?

Dong Xuan'er wasn't stupid; she was terrified whenever she thought about these things.

She instinctively stood beside Lin He, tightly holding his hand, her shoulders trembling with fear.

Wenmin, however, sensed something amiss. She scoffed and said, "Why are you so afraid of me? Is there some secret you're hiding?"

Lin He quickly stepped in front of her and explained, "Senior Wen, she came to see me because she's interested in me. That means she's Wan'er's rival. And since you love Wan'er so much, of course she's afraid, don't you think?"

Nangong Wan also said in a deep voice.

"This young lady surnamed Dong specializes in seductive arts. She was very dissatisfied to see that my husband was not affected by her seductive arts, and she tried every means to make my husband fall at her feet. When my husband refused, she and her master came to snatch him away. Elder, please let them leave. I don't want this matter to become public knowledge and cause us, the Hidden Moon Sect, to lose face."

Wen Min felt a headache coming on after hearing this. She turned to look at Nangong Wan with a disappointed expression.

"What am I supposed to say to you? Oh well, whatever."

With Nangong Wan's words, she managed to get away with it. Seeing that Wen Min didn't seem to object, she urged,

"Senior Sister Hongfu, you should quickly take your disciple and leave this place."

Hong Fu and Dong Xuan'er both looked grateful. Hong Fu even said, "We were indeed wrong this time. I will teach this disciple a lesson when we get back."

After saying that, Hong Fu quickly pulled Dong Xuan'er away. Dong Xuan'er looked at Lin He with reluctance, but had no choice but to follow Hong Fu away.

After the two left, Wen Min seemed to calm down a bit, and only then did Nangong Wan dare to step forward and start a conversation.

"Elder, what is the current situation in the Yue Kingdom?"

"This is very bad!" Wen Min shook her head and said, "The six sects of the Demonic Path are truly insidious. They launched a surprise attack while we were all busy with the Golden Origin Cave. They sent a large number of cultivators into the Golden Drum Plain battlefield, broke through the Golden Drum Plain's defenses, and quickly entered the heart of the Yue Kingdom. It's too late for us to stop them now."

At this point, Wen Min paused for a moment, then continued, "The six sects of Yue Kingdom have already made preparations for relocation. I was originally going back to the Hidden Moon Sect, but I suddenly sensed a fight here on the way, so I came to take a look."

Lin He cautiously interjected, "Senior Wen, if Wan'er goes back with you, she will probably have no choice but to migrate to the Nine Kingdoms Alliance with you to fight against the Mulan mages. Rather than that, it would be better to let her leave Yue Kingdom with me."

"You do have some intelligence; it's not easy to see all this," Wen Min said. "The western part of Yue is the territory of the righteous forces, while the eastern part is the territory of the demonic forces. Apart from the Nine Kingdoms Alliance in the south of Yue, where else can you go? Are you suggesting we cross the Yuanwu Kingdom to the north and traverse the boundless sea?"

Lin He smiled and said, "Even Nascent Soul stage cultivators can't get through places like the Boundless Sea, let alone us. We have no such intention."

"So where do you want to go? You don't mean to go to the righteous path, do you? You're overthinking it. Although it's called the righteous path, the fighting there is just as fierce."

Nangong Wan suddenly whispered something in Wenmin's ear, which immediately shocked Wenmin. It took her a while to come to her senses.

"I never imagined you would be so fortunate as to discover this thing; it's truly incredible."

Nangong Wan quickly said, "Elder, why don't you come with us..."

Wen Min shook her head and said, "If I were a few hundred years younger, I probably would have gone with you. Unfortunately, I am already old and my lifespan is almost over. Even if a great opportunity were placed in front of me, what use would it be? Unless it could allow me to break through to the Nascent Soul stage immediately and extend my lifespan by more than a thousand years, it would have no meaning for me at all."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Wan's expression darkened. She wouldn't easily reveal the existence of the ancient teleportation array, but firstly, they needed the Grand Elder to protect them on their journey, so there was no way to keep it a secret. Secondly, the Grand Elder was the person who loved her the most, and Nangong Wan trusted her completely.

At this point, both Wen Min and Nangong Wan seemed somewhat disheartened, and the atmosphere became rather somber. Wen Min steered the Moon Spirit Boat at an extremely fast speed, and soon they arrived at the location of the underground mine.

Lin He and the others quickly disembarked from the flying boat and activated earth-遁 talismans to enter the underground mine. Wen Min was also very interested and entered with the group. When she saw the ancient teleportation array, she was surprised and couldn't help but nod.

"That's good. Now that you've been teleported to another place, the demonic cultivators won't be able to hunt you down, and I can rest assured. It's a pity that Yue Kingdom is about to become a sphere of influence for the demonic path. Otherwise, this ancient teleportation array would be of great benefit to our Hidden Moon Sect."

As soon as Wen Min finished speaking, her expression changed, as if she had sensed something. At that moment, an extremely terrifying green light struck, blasting open all the rocks above and revealing the people in the underground cave.

Lin He and the others quickly looked outside, and their expressions immediately darkened.
