After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

"So what I'm looking for isn't in the Juhua Palace, but in this Qingliu Courtyard next door!"

Lin Anru blushed. When Zhou Yan said, "Senior, you are my luck. It's fate," Lin Anru's heart inexplicably started beating very fast.

Even the usually strong-willed and self-assured Lin Anru was somewhat at a loss. But this helplessness, which should have made people feel uncomfortable and ashamed, was only sweet in Lin Anru's heart.

Lin'an Ru wanted Zhou Yan to make her feel a little helpless.

Lin Anru never imagined that someone as proud as herself could have such a shameful attitude and thoughts because of a single sentence from Zhou Yan.

Seeing this, Little Yama couldn't help but click his tongue. He regretted coming to Kunlun Immortal Palace with Zhou Yan. Wasn't he just a big third wheel, affecting Zhou Yan's ability to pick up girls?

Unfortunately, Zhou Yan had no intention of continuing. Instead, after adding six keywords to himself that described him as "super lucky," he swaggered towards the Qingliu Courtyard.

Unlike the Juhua Palace, whose main gate was half-open, the Qingliu Courtyard's gate was closed. With the auspicious light shining down from above, while one could still see what was inside the Juhua Palace, no one knew what was inside the Qingliu Courtyard.

Zhou Yan walked to the gate of Qingliu Courtyard. Lightning flashed in front of him, but none of it struck him.

The Thunder Spirit Power of the Antarctic Longevity Emperor is truly effective; even the Heavenly Court's lightning dares not strike him.

Take a deep breath, place both hands on the door, and slowly push it open.

A faint light shone on his face from the open door, and at the same time, Zhou Yan felt the number of people peeking at him gradually decrease.

I guess these people found out who I am and started to back down.

The door opened to a gap large enough for a person to enter.

Zhou Yan crawled inside.

Behind the door was a small garden lush with medicinal herbs, and behind that was a three-sided house shaped like the Chinese character "冂" (wǔ), all with their doors closed.

After crossing the small courtyard, Zhou Yan walked to the house directly opposite and pushed open the door.

Inside the door was a very ordinary classical bedroom, which Zhou Yan glanced around at.

After a while, Zhou Yan walked to the wardrobe in the bedroom and opened the door.

Inside the wardrobe were seamless celestial garments, with a faint light flowing over them, clearly indicating that none of them were of ordinary quality.

However, even the most extraordinary item was not what Zhou Yan wanted.

Zhou Yan left the bedroom and went to the left side of the bedroom, which was a study.

There are several bookshelves in the study, and a desk is placed horizontally in front of a painting of white bamboo on the east wall. There is also an incense burner in the center of the study.

It's clear that the owner of this study knows how to enjoy life.

A booklet was placed on top of the desk.

Zhou Yan walked over and casually flipped through the book. It seemed to contain records of the daily entry and exit of immortals at the South Heavenly Gate. This was a good thing, and Zhou Yan happily picked it up. But halfway through, Zhou Yan couldn't help but frown.

"Three celestial maidens are missing today..."

"No, no, why, why are there five more people today than yesterday?"

"Who's the extra one? Who's the extra one?"

"Even the Spiritual Immortal can't tell the difference!"

Chapter 8 cannot be found

What's more troublesome and terrifying than silently disappearing and watching your acquaintances vanish one by one?

The number of people has increased, of course. 4

You remember you originally had only thirty-seven classmates, but the next day you woke up to find that you had forty classmates, and you couldn't find the three extra ones. You remember every single one of them, but you just remember that you originally only had thirty-seven.

Zhou Yan saw that Lingguang Xian, who appeared to be in the statistics book, remained quite calm after noticing the decrease in the number of people. Her handwriting was smooth and flowing, revealing no emotional fluctuations. II

Zhou Yan guessed that most of the gods in Heaven were probably restless and would sneak out on a daily basis, so the absence of a few gods did not attract much attention.

However, when writing about many deities, Lingguangxian's handwriting began to distort, some characters even becoming illegible. If Zhou Yan hadn't possessed omniscience, he probably wouldn't have known what Lingguangxian had written at all. (Three)

If a few immortals are lost, it's understandable that they might have run away on their own, and it's fine if you don't care. But if there are more than that, then there's a problem.

After the problem came an even bigger one, such as Lingguangxian's inability to distinguish who these extra deities were.

This also happened in Qingqiu, and in the end, almost all the foxes in Qingqiu died in history.

Is this place the same? Zhong

Zhou Yan thought of the fragmented worlds. In the fragmented worlds he had experienced before, the foxes of Qingqiu seemed to have never witnessed such a scene of being swallowed up by history.

Zhou Yan had some doubts. This devouring might just mean that time had been shattered, and that the vanished gods and foxes of Qingqiu had probably all gone to the fragmented world.

Zhou Yan turned over the pages that described Lingguang Xian's despair, and then found what he was looking for on the next few pages.

"Bai Ze has returned with the foxes of Qingqiu..."

"He didn't come from the South Heavenly Gate. I even joked that he was more famous than Sun Wukong, and that all the gods at the South Heavenly Gate would have to go find him without the Jade Emperor's order..."

Zhou Yan was amused.

Judging from this statement, Lingguangxian has a good impression of Bai Ze; they must be good friends who hang out together regularly.

Bai Ze doesn't seem to be someone who just goes for fun with everyone. He's the type who plays both sides, like Nuwa and Jiutian Xuannv. Yinglong really likes Bai Ze, so Bai Ze should actually be able to get by in the Heavenly Court.

Zhou Yan continued flipping through the book.

"Bai Ze grabbed my shoulder and said that Qingqiu is gone, only the Nuwa Stone remains. He brought the only survivor of Qingqiu here. He also said that he saw that the South Heavenly Gate would fall soon, and all the gods of the South Heavenly Gate would die..."

"I'm very unhappy. Bai Ze always manages to find amusement in me..."

Upon seeing this, Zhou Yan chuckled.

"...Bai Ze sent the fox from Qingqiu to Changchun Courtyard..."

Zhou Yan was jolted awake. Sure enough, there was a reason why the Buddha of Lin'an wanted to see him. It was as if Heaven had specially pointed out a clear path for him!

Is it Changchun Courtyard?

What place is this?

"...Bai Ze is dead, he died right in front of me..."

The character "八" in this passage is already trembling, with many strokes ending in uncontrollable dots, clearly indicating that the fingers are unable to contain the force.

"How could Bai Ze be dead! Why would He die!"

This passage was already incoherent, and Zhou Yan was only able to decipher its meaning by relying entirely on his omniscience.

"The South Heavenly Gate has fallen..."

This passage has calmed down, as if it has accepted something, given up everything, and laid down.

That's all. It seems that Lingguangxian met with misfortune at this point, and there's no further narration.

Zhou Yan closed the register, a thoughtful expression on his face.

In fact, Zhou Yan had wanted to ask this question for a long time: why did Bai Ze bring Su Zhaojun to the South Heavenly Gate instead of seeking help from Nuwa?

Whether it's Bai Ze or the foxes of Qingqiu, they all belong to Nuwa's lineage. If something really happens, it would be more appropriate for old Bai Ze to take Su Zhaojun to Nuwa.

It's not impossible to come to the Jade Emperor, but given Nuwa's attitude towards Bai Ze, Zhou Yan felt that if he were in that time period, he would definitely choose to seek refuge with Nuwa, rather than come here to beg for the Jade Emperor's mercy.

unless……

Zhou Yan clasped his hands together.

There was actually a glimmer of hope at the South Heavenly Gate: a way to survive even without the Jade Emperor or Nuwa.

Therefore, Bai Ze came here seeking a glimmer of hope. Then, seeing Lingguang Xian shouting, "How could Bai Ze possibly die? Why did he die? Bai Ze probably didn't seize this glimmer of hope and then died."

But that doesn't mean there's no hope; Su Zhaojun of Qingqiu survived.

Old Bai Ze has found a solution to the great calamity of heaven and earth, and has succeeded halfway.

What does "a glimmer of hope" mean for Lao Bai Ze?

What exactly did Lao Bai Ze do back then?

What does He really know, and on what basis does He believe He has a chance to survive this great calamity?

Zhou Yan tossed the roster into his Little Western Paradise and then went to the bookshelf to browse through all the books. Unfortunately, these books were all rosters of celestial beings. After looking through them without getting any useful information, Zhou Yan went to the last room.

The last room seemed to be a meditation room. It was sparsely furnished, with only a futon in the center and an incense burner in front of it. Zhou Yan walked to the incense burner and opened it. Inside was the ash of a kind of incense called "Sinking Sea Incense". According to the explanation of the Omniscient, it can calm the mind and increase cultivation. It is a rare and precious item that is worth a fortune in the human world.

Of course, Zhou Yan didn't need these. He put the incense burner away and went to search other places.

……

Outside the Qingliu Villa, Lin'an seems to be just like the place.

As Lin'an sensed that some people carrying a lot of moisture were approaching, the rustling sounds around him began to decrease.

This is not a good sign; some people around may be starting to lose their temper and are preparing to take action.

Lin Anru couldn't help but give the little Yama King beside her a look. The little Yama King pouted and went to Lin Anru's side.

Lin'an was ready for battle.

As the surrounding water drew closer, Lin'an held her breath.

"Crack..."

The sound of a pebble falling sent shivers down Lin'an's spine, as if her taut nerves had snapped open, and circles of green, malevolent water began to swirl around her.

A person ran out from the corner.

Lin Anru aimed the water arrow at the person beside him, and that person immediately shouted.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I don't want to fight you!"

……

After completing the search, Zhou Yan sighed and walked out of the meditation room. He strolled around the front courtyard, which was full of immortal plants and spiritual herbs, before leaving Qingliu Villa.

This stroke of luck worked; he now knew that Su Zhaojun was in the Changchun Courtyard. Knowing the location of the Changchun Courtyard meant that his plan to find Su Zhaojun was half successful.

As soon as I stepped outside, I heard a chattering sound coming from outside.

“I’ve been here for three years, three years! I haven’t been home once! Do you know what I’ve been doing for the past three years?”

"I've explored the entire Kunlun Immortal Palace. There's no place here I haven't been to or don't know about!"

"Trust me, I can bring you the greatest benefits!"

"Cooperation leads to a win-win situation!"

"I'm serious!"

Zhou Yan looked curiously toward the source of the sound, which was none other than where Lin Anru was. However, unlike before when only Lin Anru and Xiao Yanjun were present, this time there were six people standing with Lin Anru and Xiao Yanjun. Some of these six people were pounding their chests in frustration, while others were fawning over them, all frantically promoting themselves.

Zhou Yan used his omniscience to check the situation.

These guys were the Awakened Ones who had previously planned to double-cross Zhou Yan, but these Awakened Ones who had survived for a long time in the Kunlun Immortal Palace had not been consumed by greed. After discovering that Zhou Yan's side was unfathomable and that some well-informed people seemed to have run away, they abandoned their strategy of direct encirclement and came to ask for cooperation.

Many awakened individuals felt that since they knew the intelligence about this place and that Zhou Yan could ignore the local restrictions, even if Zhou Yan only revealed some treasures between his fingers after the two sides cooperated, it would still be more profitable than their decades of hard work.

The idea is correct; the only problem is that Zhou Yan doesn't need these people's help.

Zhou Yan didn't make much noise as he walked out, but the people around him still heard him. Several Awakened Ones turned around and their eyes darted around when they saw Zhou Yan.

They don't know who Zhou Yan is yet, but that doesn't stop them from seeing that Zhou Yan is very young, only in his early twenties. Such a young man is inexperienced in the ways of the world and is not very clear about the wickedness of people's hearts. He can be easily fooled by a few words.

Those present had encountered many powerful young awakened individuals. To deal with these young awakened individuals, as long as you give them enough face and flatter them comfortably, they will provide you with many treasures without you even having to say anything.

Young people are the easiest to fool.

An awakened individual in his fifties turned to Zhou Yan and said with a smile.

"Hey young man, my name is..."

The awakened ones around them all turned around and looked at Zhou Yan with eyes like a lamb to the slaughter, just waiting to be bitten.

But just as Qi and his men were about to take a bite, an unprecedented sense of fear, almost making the scalps of these seven men explode, swept over their entire bodies. Those who were smiling, those who were trying to fool Zhou Yan, all screamed and retreated in terror.

Zhou Yan walked up to Lin Anru with a blank expression.

Lin Anru looked around and hesitated.

"Actually, these people are quite experienced. We can keep a few of them as guides."

The reason why Lin'an didn't force them to leave when they were surrounded by this group was that although these people had impure intentions, they could indeed bring benefits to his side.

Therefore, Lin'an wanted to select a few potential partners before Zhou Yan emerged.

"Need not."
