Li Yuechan looked at the blood characters on the tree, her eyes devoid of fear; on the contrary, they burned with flames.

The appearance of the fox meant she had come to the right place; she had not made a wasted trip!

She looked to the south and concentrated her mana to conjure a bluebird, leaving the information about this place within the bird.

Then, Li Yuechan released the bluebird, sending it flying to deliver the message to the World’s End Ark in the south.

The news about this place should be informed to her brother!

The bluebird released by Li Yuechan flew across the azure sky, swiftly exiting the dense forest, crossing the wilderness, heading south.

Agile and swift, once it soared into the sky, it quickly disappeared into the void, turning transparent and silently vanished.

Soon, it had flown thousands of miles and arrived at a winding and vast expanse of water.

This was a great river, flowing from north to south, its surface as vast as that of the sea.

The invisible bluebird flapped its wings over the river, with towers and flower boats passing by on either side.

At last, it landed on a luxurious yet quiet large boat, perching on the top of a sail to rest.

The invisible bluebird preened its feathers, slowly absorbing the spiritual energy diffusing in the air, preparing for the next leg of its journey.

Below the bluebird, on the quiet deck of the tower boat, a burly, tanned middle-aged man said cautiously,

“… Elder Yan, we are nearly at Jiuyuan City.”

The country warrior whom the entire Cultivation World was searching for, a middle-aged man named Li Damu, now spoke anxiously in a low voice, reporting to the woman before him.

The woman in a purple robe exuded an evil aura, filled with a terrifying and intimidating presence.

The once indifferent and proud expression had changed.

She was no longer aloof; instead, she smiled, but beneath that stunningly radiant smile, her eyes were as cold as deep pools.

Reflecting in those ruthless, icy eyes, her smile seemed all the more sinister.

Watching Li Damu before her, Yan Xiaoru nodded with a smile, saying, “Good, thank you for leading the way.”

“You and your wife have been very cooperative on this journey. Once I reach Jiuyuan City and find what I’m looking for, I’ll let you go.”

Yan Xiaoru smiled as she made her promise.

But for some reason, upon hearing her words, Li Damu felt a chill run down his spine, an inexplicable fear.

He knew all too well that the elder of the Refinement Demon Sect before him had gone mad, possessed by evil.

The former Law Enforcement Elder was already fierce and terrifying; now that she had gone mad and been possessed, she was even more brutal.

Li Damu had heard that Yan Xiaoru, in Yunxiao City, had tricked and killed tens of thousands of trusting Refinement Demon Sect disciples and even destroyed the entire Yunxiao City!

This former Law Enforcement Elder of the Refinement Demon Sect, after its destruction, had become a terrifying devil, and ordinary people had no chance of survival upon meeting her!

He faintly felt that this elder of the Refinement Demon Sect would not let him off easily.

She might even kill him!

But he was powerless in the face of such overwhelming circumstances, and as a mortal, Li Damu could do nothing but squeeze out a stiff smile on his face.

He stiffly bowed and stepped back.

Before leaving, he looked worriedly at his wife.

Liu Shi, the wife of Li Damu, was sitting next to Yan Xiaoru on the deck.

The two women sat on the deck, admiring the scenery on the riverbank, with a table full of sumptuous dishes.

The scene appeared to be harmonious and beautiful.

But Liu Shi, sitting opposite Yan Xiaoru, appeared to be in a daze with her body rigid.

She was like a puppet, as if devoid of her own will, which made her appear slightly unsettling.

After Li Damu stepped back, Yan Xiaoru slightly turned her body to look at the woman across from her, who was stiff and dull.

She smiled and said, “Pity that Mu Yang and Yu Chan are not here.”

Cheerfully looking at the ferocious eyes reflected in her cup, Yan Xiaoru seemed to see nothing and continued with a smile, “If they were here, it would be a family reunion.”

Sunlight fell upon her, and the smiling woman raising her glass was shadowed by a trembling figure behind her, as if a monstrous demon were struggling fiercely, utterly sinister…

……

The Ark Beyond the World, Fuyun City.

Li Muyang opened his eyes and stepped out of the house.

The Third Miss stood quietly outside the door, watching him.

Li Muyang frowned and asked, “Is something the matter?”

This wild boar demon, although staying with him and left to monitor him, generally did not disturb him.

But now, in the dead of night, she was knocking at the door—which must mean something had happened.

The cold moonlight spilled over the Third Miss.

She looked at Li Muyang with a strange expression and was silent for a while before finally taking out an envelope and handing it to Li Muyang.

“Somebody delivered this just now; it’s for you.”

Li Muyang took the envelope and upon seeing the writing on it, his pupils constricted slightly.

This envelope, had it come from the Hidden Moon Dynasty?!

Glancing at the Third Miss’s peculiar expression, it was evident that she had read the contents of the letter, and it was nothing good.

Li Muyang fell silent for a moment before opening the envelope. Row upon row of elegant yet inexplicably menacing characters appeared in his field of vision.

He furrowed his brows as he read the letter, his brow growing tighter with each line.

This letter was personally penned by the most renowned Ninth Princess of the Hidden Moon Dynasty.

The words within were bold and unrestrained, the phrasing full of literary flair, showcasing the profound literary cultivation of this Ninth Princess.

But Li Muyang had no interest in dealing with these affectations and idle chatter. He quickly read through the letter and went over it twice.

He then distilled the core message of the envelope.

——It was a summons for Li Muyang to present himself voluntarily and submit to the Divine Ancestor of the Hidden Moon Dynasty.

The Third Miss looked at the tightly furrowed brow of Li Muyang, curious, “How do the people of the Hidden Moon Dynasty know you’re here? And how have you offended them?”

She was very curious: “From this letter, it seems they are not after your ancient immortal artifacts but simply want to kill you… When did you become an enemy of the Hidden Moon Dynasty?”

The usually indifferent Third Miss now resembled a curious onlooker eagerly wanting to know the inside story.

However, Li Muyang glared at her and scolded, “Who allowed you to read someone else’s correspondence? Have you no manners!”

After scolding the Third Miss, Li Muyang shut the door firmly, refusing any further communication.

He sat in the house, holding the letter with a grave expression.

He was equally curious about how the Hidden Moon Dynasty came to know of his whereabouts.

Most importantly, why would the Divine Ancestor of the Hidden Moon Dynasty bother to seek him out!

They had had no grievances in the past, no quarrels recently… could it be that the Divine had gone mad?

“… The system surely had a vision of the future.”

Li Muyang muttered to himself while looking at the letter in his hand.

The system had anticipated today’s situation, setting up mini-games for him in advance to familiarize him with the Hidden Moon Dynasty’s Divine Ancestor.

But the problem was that the current Li Muyang, although he had cleared the normal mode, was defeated every time he took on the highest difficulty.

Under such circumstances, going to battle with the Hidden Moon Dynasty’s Divine Ancestor… the odds of victory were slim.

He had intended to clear “Land of Curse”, defeat the Yellow Robed Immortal, and then deal with that Divine from Outer Heaven.

But unexpectedly, the other party didn’t give Li Muyang any time to prepare and came knocking at his door directly.

“Two days to consider, huh…”

Li Muyang sighed helplessly: “The old Taoist’s information was actually true.”

In three days, the Divine Ancestor of the Hidden Moon Dynasty would arrive at the Ark Beyond the World!

The purpose of this Divine from Outer Heaven’s visit to the Ark Beyond the World was still unknown.

Yet, he had discovered Li Muyang’s presence here and delivered a summoning letter.

Although the letter was an ultimatum for Li Muyang to submit, the killing intent within it suggested that the Divine from Outer Heaven would rather kill Li Muyang with his own hands…
