The spiritual energy was restored, and he became a mortal immortal in two days.

"Where did Senior Li go?"

Where did he go?

After leaving the communications room, Ye Li's first task was to find Li Taibai.

"Li Taibai... oh no, Senior Li borrowed a month's worth of resources in advance, exchanged them for a bottle of fine wine from the treasury, and then disappeared without a trace!"

The deputy rushed over, and seeing Ye Li's nervous expression, he couldn't help but feel nervous as well.

What orders did the higher-ups issue? They just completed a mission brilliantly, and even the Blood Demon Lord was killed. Why is the captain suddenly acting flustered?

"Activate the Skynet system and search for Senior Li immediately!" Ye Li took a deep breath and decisively gave the order.

The most urgent task is to find Li Taibai and ask him about Chen Xuan.

Those fragments of memory filled with carnage deeply shocked her, and her face is still deathly pale.

"yes!"

The deputy was startled and, without hesitation, immediately did as instructed.

"Skynet is starting up—"

Soon, only the sound of screens flashing and the clicking of buttons used by monitoring personnel to issue commands remained inside the underground office.

"Charging complete, startup successful."

"Start searching for facial images and comparing them with the database to confirm identity."

At the same time.

Cameras in every corner of Qingcheng are flashing red dots.

The streets were bustling with traffic and crowds of people, and every face was captured with precision.

Ye Li kept her eyes glued to the electronic screen without blinking.

This system has been upgraded and was created by Lingtai Academy using modern technology and the methods of cultivators.

It has extremely powerful effects in locking onto people and finding items, making it possible to find a needle in a haystack.

However, the effect is greatly reduced if you leave the city.

"Senior Li, where are you going at a time like this...?"

"If it is confirmed that Chen Xuanzhen is indeed a bloodthirsty demon, the higher-ups will likely take measures..."

Just as she was muttering to herself, a testing officer excitedly shouted, "Report! Target confirmed, location locked!"

Ye Li cried out urgently, "Where is he?"

"Ninth Street, South District, Nanyuan Courtyard".

On the huge screen, Li Bai's real-time situation was immediately displayed.

Come on, smile with me.

"eggplant--"

At this moment, noticing the unusual activity, Li Taibai pulled Lin Xiaoman and posed for a photo with her in front of the camera.

"..."

Everyone was both amused and exasperated by this scene; this Senior Li was quite fashionable.

"Lin Xiaoman, where are you taking Senior Li? Come back immediately!"

It turned out that Lin Xiaoman had "abducted" Li Taibai... Ye Li gritted her teeth in anger and called her cell phone directly.

"It wasn't me who abducted Senior Li, it was him who abducted me," Lin Xiaoman said, sounding aggrieved.

"..."

"Okay, I misunderstood you, I'm sorry."

Ye Li was somewhat taken aback, completely unexpected this situation.

"Captain Ye, I'm new to Qingcheng and not familiar with the area yet, so I'd like Lin Xiaoman to show me the way."

Li Taibai's voice rang out inside the office, but he continued walking without stopping.

"Where is Senior Li going?" Ye Li asked cautiously.

At this point, Li Bai was a little embarrassed. "It's my fault. I was a bit impatient. After thinking it over, I decided to thank you in person."

Ye Li glanced at the clock on the wall, both amused and exasperated. "Senior, it's midnight now. Even if you're in a rush, is it really necessary to be in such a hurry?"

"Captain Night, are you a fan of celebrities?" Li Taibai suddenly asked.

"Stanning celebrities?"

Ye Li looked bewildered.

"Yes."

Li Taibai explained, "It's like those ordinary people's little fangirls and fanboys who idolize movie stars. They can go three days and three nights without eating and shout themselves hoarse in the audience just to catch a glimpse of their idol."

Ye Li hesitated before asking, "But what does this have to do with you, Senior?"

"Because I'm so excited right now, even more excited than ordinary people meeting their idols."

Li Taibai's calm voice concealed an undisguised excitement: "For a sword cultivator, to be able to meet Chen Xuan is a great honor. He is the star I want to follow on the path of swordsmanship."

Inside the office, everyone looked at each other in surprise, not expecting Li Taibai to have such awe of Chen Xuan.

Logically speaking, Li Taibai, being a Nascent Soul cultivator and a top expert in the sword-wielding golden age he spoke of, should have his own pride.

He and Chen Xuan lived in different eras, so why is this happening?

Whether Chen Xuan later reached the Nascent Soul stage is still a question.

Ye Li didn't have time to dwell on this and quickly asked, "Senior Li, we just received some information that we need your help to confirm."

"you say."

"Was the way of the sword destroyed by Chen Xuan?"

"Did he kill many sword cultivators, or even massacre many sects?"

Her voice was heavy and solemn.

Li Bai finally stopped.

He looked up at a camera on the utility pole, his expression turning serious. "I didn't expect you to find out so quickly. It's true."

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat.

Lin Xiaoman's expression was full of terror. Did this mean that Chen Xuan was a murderous monster?

Ye Li paused for a moment, then asked again, "Then why does Senior Li still hold Chen Xuan in such high esteem?"

"because--"

"The way of the sword was destroyed by Chen Xuan, and it flourished again under Chen Xuan."

"Without him, there would be no golden age of swordsmanship, and there would be no poet and sword master like me."

Li Bai's voice even carried a hint of fervor.

Lin Xiaoman had only ever seen this kind of expression and tone on fans who idolized oppas.

Li Bai genuinely regarded Chen Xuan as an idol, even to the point of obsession!

!!!

These words shocked everyone in the underground office.

just.

Isn't Li Bai's statement contradictory?

Swordsmanship was destroyed by Chen Xuan, so how could it have flourished under Chen Xuan's leadership?

……

Nanyuan Courtyard.

"Is this where you lived, senior?"

Upon arriving at the destination, Li Taibai, carrying two bottles of spirit wine, nervously peered inside.

Lin Xiaoman was at a loss for words. How could a dignified and unrestrained poet and sword master be so flustered?

"Yes, this is it. Senior Chen has always lived here. Should I knock on the door for you?"

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Li Taibai straightened his clothes and nodded seriously.

"..."

Lin Xiaoman stepped forward, about to knock on the door, when Li Taibai suddenly stopped her, shouting, "No, no, no, don't knock yet."

"Senior, what's wrong?"

Lin Xiaoman looked back, puzzled.

Li Taibai stood there somewhat awkwardly, saying, "I've thought about it, and the wine I'm carrying is still a bit lacking. I'm embarrassed to bring it to visit Senior Chen."

"How about you advance me a few more months' worth of supplies, and I'll exchange them for two bottles of even better wine?"

At this moment, there was no such thing as a Poet Sword Master; all that was clearly a little fanboy visiting his idol.

Lin Xiaoman opened her mouth. Although she also liked watching soap operas and following celebrities, wasn't this going too far?

"No need, I don't like the drinks outside, I have my own."

"You're disturbing my peaceful sleep in the middle of the night. If you don't come in now, go back to where you came from."

Just then, Chen Xuan's slightly annoyed voice came from the courtyard.

Li Bai scratched his head and gave an awkward smile.
