"Why?" Immortal Mingke noticed that since entering Jade Capital City, the frequency with which he asked the question "Why" had increased dramatically. Previously, it was always others asking him that question.
“The master of this secret realm usually has to manage the entire Jade Capital City. Few of the man-eating monsters outside are of good temperament. Restraining these unruly creatures and turning them into a competent army requires a great deal of effort. The apparent order amidst the chaos of Jade Capital City shows that the Earth Mother's governance is not as crude as it appears.” He Lingchuan's experience in territory management is unparalleled. “Therefore, his position within the Duzhishan Secret Realm is mostly one of leisure and inactivity, allowing him to focus his energy on the outside world. In any case, this is likely an infinitely looping secret realm; whether he acts or not makes no difference.”
Immortal Mingke immediately said, "Doing nothing? Are we looking for an idle person?"
"It may not be a person."
The meaning of these four words is quite rich. Immortal Mingke was taken aback upon hearing this, pondered for a long time, and then his expression changed:
"Do you think..."
"Yes."
Immortal Mingke asked solemnly, "Then where should we begin our search?"
He Lingchuan pressed the divine bone necklace hidden in his clothes.
Before leaving the locust hut, he always had one question:
The spirit of the Earth Mother is probably not in the Golden Lotus of Wind and Dew, and the Golden Lotus itself is a trap; outsiders who touch it will be kicked back to reality.
So why did the necklace give the Wind Dew Golden Lotus a red halo when he asked about the Divine Bone Necklace?
In the past, this would have been a positive answer.
When did the Divine Bone Necklace ever malfunction?
Fortunately, He Lingchuan maintained his habit of independent thinking; otherwise, if he had let Ming Ke Xianren pull the herbs, their trip to the secret realm might have ended long ago.
Considering all the events that followed, He Lingchuan came to a conclusion:
Information misalignment!
The question he posed to the Divine Bone Necklace was:
"Is our destination within the Golden Lotus?"
At the time, his "target" referred to the spirit or stone heart of the Earth Mother, in short, something that could help the Earth Mother break free from Shangguan Biao's control.
He Lingchuan asked the question without giving it much thought.
However, there is another possibility: the Divine Bone Necklace points to another potential, and more direct, target in this secret realm.
The master of the secret realm is Shangguan Biao!
Even if the Earth Mother's spirit cannot be found, as long as Shangguan Biao can be found and killed, He Lingchuan's trip to Duzhishan will be a great success.
So, is the master of the secret realm He Lingchuan's target?
no doubt.
At the time, He Lingchuan was unaware that the master of the secret realm was also in Duzhi Mountain, and thus misinterpreted the instructions of the Divine Bone Necklace.
Now that he's made the corrections again, he immediately realizes that he's taken a very long detour!
It's time to set things right.
Then the next question follows:
Assuming Shangguan Biao is truly hiding in Fenglu Jinlian, how can we dig him out?
As outsiders, the three of them could be kicked out of the secret realm if they touched the Wind and Dew Golden Lotus.
This setting is an excellent means of protection for the owner of the secret realm.
How can I avoid touching Jinlian while also uncovering Shangguan Biao?
He Lingchuan took a deep breath: "Let's go to a place where the master of the secret realm can't cause trouble."
Ming Ke was quick-witted; before Aunt Zhu could react, he had already adjusted the direction of the flying boat.
Destination: Huaiwu!
Dust and haze surged in the sky directly ahead, quickly transforming into a large face.
That was the face of the Earth Mother, which He Lingchuan had already seen once above Jade Capital.
"Your Panlong Ruins have been devoured by me!" The Earth Mother's grand voice echoed in the three's ears. "You and your new secret realm will soon be gone too, Nine Nether Emperor!"
The Nine Nether Emperor? Immortal Ming Ke was taken aback. Who was the Earth Mother referring to?
There were only three people on this airship: besides myself and the Spider Queen, could it be...?
He suddenly turned around and looked at He Lingchuan, his eyes filled with disbelief:
"you?"
The Earth Mother's words sounded unbelievable at first glance. But Immortal Mingke immediately thought of the many extraordinary qualities of this "Tiger Wing General".
How could a general of a single nation possibly achieve such a feat?
If it were the renowned Nine Nether Emperor himself who came, then all of this would make sense.
The Earth Mother even mocked him, saying, "Immortal Mingke, you've been used as a pawn for so long, and you've still been kept in the dark!"
He Lingchuan glanced at it indifferently: "Don't listen to its nonsense."
Want to devour him? Want to devour the new secret realm of Panlong? Keep dreaming.
The smoke in mid-air opened its ferocious maw towards the airship, as if to suffocate it. He Lingchuan raised his right hand, fingers spread, and gave a low shout:
"The wind is coming!"
Before the airship crashed into the smoke, a whirlwind rapidly formed in mid-air, growing from the size of a funnel into a tornado with a diameter of ten zhang!
It was the second appearance of the Qixia Sect's Void Spirit Dome.
It crashed into the smoke, and the two tumbled together, tearing a large hole in the smoke wall directly in front of the airship.
Immortal Mingke rode his flying crane and whooshed past.
The locust tree house is just ahead, halfway up the mountain.
“Lure away the pursuers behind you, then come back to find me.” He Lingchuan stared intently at the old locust tree ahead. “If I’m not mistaken, these three rows of houses will not be affected by the Earth Mother’s divine power.”
The important matter at hand is paramount. Immortal Mingke exhaled, suppressing his doubts: "Go down."
Passing the cliff directly above Yaoyan, He Lingchuan used the cover of the trees and solid rocks to leap down.
He moved with incredible speed, and because it was dark, Li Yun and the others behind him didn't even see his actions.

Tonight, things won't be peaceful in Huaiwu. First, the drug smuggling case was exposed, then there was a series of explosions in the back mountain. The servants were already alarmed and ran out to see what was going on.
They were whispering among themselves when they saw Shangguan Biao come out. Two of them immediately stepped forward to greet him: "Senior Brother Shangguan was wronged. I told them long ago that Shangguan is a man of impeccable character. It's impossible that you were the one smuggling spiritual herbs, absolutely impossible!"
"Senior Brother Shangguan must be tired. The kitchen made braised pork and pickled fish tonight. I saved some for you..."
Shangguan Biao glanced at them coldly and realized that these two people had never given him a kind look and had even made things difficult for him.
Everyone thought Shangguan Biao, shackled and imprisoned in the cellar, would never recover. But then Xu Liangzhi arrived, and Elder Li came in person!
When Elder Li arrived at the three-row house, Shangguan Biao was released from the cellar and had a long private conversation with Elder Li.
What does this mean? Elder Li is very satisfied with Shangguan Biao and is even willing to step in to clear his name.
The bad luck surrounding Shangguan Biao will be swept away from now on, and he might leave Duzhishan soon! So those with a sharp mind should quickly change their attitude and try to win Shangguan Biao's favor.
With these two leading the way, a number of servants gathered around, offering their concern and greetings.
