However, the person in front of them showed no fear whatsoever, and even blinked, saying, "Is there really such a good thing?"

Gu Xiao: "..."

Ok.

There's no need to persuade her further.

Song Yao then asked, "Where are the eighty-eight attendants stationed?"

Gu Xiao said, "The Wanchun Pavilion there doesn't follow those messy rules. There are demons, humans, and demonic cultivators. It's not as strict as the territories of your three major sects. You can come and go as you please. The specific location will be contacted via jade slip at that time."

Song Yao immediately reached out to her, and she hesitated for a moment before reluctantly placing the jade slip in her hand.

The message that had just come from the jade slip was gone; Song Yao put it in her sleeve: "You servants don't even know each other?"

Gu Xiao nodded: "Most people haven't seen their true faces, but that's not absolute. However, they mainly recognize people by their masks. It will be safer for you to go in wearing a mask."

Song Yao: "Understood."

It's more lively when there are more people.

Who knows, I might get to meet the owner of Yong'an Tower and that distinguished guest.

Song Yao originally planned to go directly there, but then she remembered something and sent a message to Xie Zhou and Zhu Zhao, telling them what she had gotten from Gu Xiao, and also mentioning that she was going to Wanchun Tower.

Zhu Zhao's reply was: "Take good care of Xuan Feng and make sure you get out safely. If it's not too urgent, I can send some people from the hall to accompany you."

Song Yao replied that it was extremely urgent and no manpower was needed.

Apart from Fu Sheng and a few elders whose personal cultivation levels are high enough, sending anyone else would only be a burden to her.

Now that the Nine Saints Hall is so busy and needs people everywhere, it would be a real problem if they were to fall into the same trap as her at Wanchun Tower.

Xie Zhou sent someone to intercept her on the way: "Senior Sister Song, the Master said that Yong'an Tower is likely deliberately trying to lure you to Wanchun Tower. Please do not act rashly. It is not too late to set off after we return to the sect and discuss it together."

Song Yao looked at the cloaked cultivator in front of her: "Why didn't Xie Zhou come by himself? Did something happen to your Qianyuan Manor?"

Given Xie Zhou's temperament, in this situation, he would either come to accompany her himself or send someone to follow her, but now he has only sent a messenger, which is obviously not right.

The cultivator was taken aback for a moment, not expecting her to guess so easily.

Realizing what had happened, he lowered his eyes and said, "As you know, we have been tracking Yong'an Tower recently and have eliminated all of Yong'an Tower's spies in Sichun City. It must have been this action that angered them. Two days ago, the three servants of Yong'an Tower led their men to attack Qianyuan Manor."

"The lord fought with the three servants of Yong'an Tower. Although he captured them alive, he was also ambushed and poisoned by a strange poison. He is currently being treated by the chief physician of Xuangu."

"The master had been unconscious until he received your message and suddenly opened his eyes, ordering me to come find you immediately."

Song Yao pursed her lips and asked, "Will he die?"

The cultivator swallowed hard, momentarily at a loss for words: "This disciple was not in Qianyuan Manor before and did not see the specific situation... However, since Master Xuan is here, the Manor Master should be safe."

He hesitated and said, "If you're worried, why don't you go back to the sect yourself? You can discuss it with the sect leader and then decide what to do next."

Song Yao paused for a moment, then declined, saying, "No need. I'm not a medical cultivator, and I wouldn't be able to help back home. Let him focus on healing; don't worry about me."

As she was about to leave, the cultivator quickly stopped her again: "The lord said that if you insist on going, he will tell you what we have found out."

Song Yao: "What is it?"

The cultivator said, "The Returning Jade Sword is in the Wanchun Pavilion."

The Returning Jade Sword?

Her natal sword in her past life?

Song Yao's expression faltered slightly. "Didn't you say that Senior Brother took you to the Earth Realm?"

The cultivator shook his head: "I don't know about that. We saw this on a message scroll at Yong'an Tower. It said it was going to be used as the prized possession of Wanchun Tower and would be exhibited there on Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Since last night, this news has been spread by Yong'an Tower. You should know that countless evil cultivators have been coveting your Guiyu Divine Sword for a long time, and they will probably rush to seize it on the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"At that time, Wanchunlou will be in extreme danger, so please do not act rashly."

Song Yao: "..."

Okay.

He had to fight so many people for his own sword.

She had a very positive attitude and said, "It's okay, Mid-Autumn Festival is all about having lots of people and being lively."

The cultivator: "..."

Will they really be human then?

He didn't continue to persuade her, but then noticed the mask she was holding and added, "By the way, you said on the communication talisman that the Sixth Attendant gave you her mask so you could use her identity to infiltrate Wanchun Tower. The Master thinks this is inappropriate and could very well be a conspiracy by Yong'an Tower. They can recognize you more easily with this mask."

Song Yao nodded: "I know, don't worry."

The monk said, "You know? You didn't trust that Sixth Attendant?"

Song Yao smiled slightly: "I believe half of it."

Yong'an Tower has guarded their secret for hundreds or even thousands of years without it ever being leaked. Fu Sheng and Xie Zhou have been investigating for so many years but haven't made much progress.

It's impossible that a Sixth Attendant would suddenly appear and reveal all the secrets of Yong'an Tower after being threatened by her.

She's not so blind and foolish as to be that stupid.

Instead of sneaking in disguised as a servant, it's better to just walk in openly.

Even if she doesn't go looking for someone, someone will eventually come looking for her.

Seeing this, the cultivator said no more, and bowed deeply to her, saying, "In that case, I hope Senior Sister Song will return safely."

"As much as possible."

Song Yao turned to summon Xuan Feng, and after waiting for a while, she remembered something and asked, "How did you know I was here?"

She had already left Yuhua Villa and was some distance from the location where the message was to be delivered.

How did he find her so accurately?

The monk hurriedly replied, "It was the manor lord who told me."

Song Yao: "How did he know?"

How could he detect her location from such a distance despite being seriously injured?

That doesn't make sense.

The cultivator glanced guiltily at the jade pendant on her waist: "This, this, this disciple doesn't know either. Senior Sister Song, you should ask the Master of the Manor when you get back."

When he turned to leave, he clearly seemed to be fleeing in panic.

Song Yao thoughtfully followed his gaze to the safety buckle, reached out and took it off, raising an eyebrow.

-

The journey to the South China Sea was too long, so Song Yao was too lazy to fly on her sword herself and grabbed a handful of high-grade herbs to hand to Xuan Feng.

Xuanfeng glanced at her sideways.

The little rascal was looking at him with such expectant eyes, clearly trying to bribe him.

It was very uncomfortable with this, so it used a wing to lift her onto its back and spoke in human language: "I'll take you there, don't pretend to be pitiful."

Song Yao settled comfortably on its back, covering herself with a small blanket: "You're so kind, you're the best spirit beast I've ever met."
