Lingming Immortal Palace.

In the Sect Leader's hall, an old man with white hair and a long beard was meditating cross-legged, suddenly, he opened his eyes abruptly, his cloudy pupils slightly contracted, looking fierce and frightening.

"I sensed the existence of my avatar, that bastard took my avatar to the upper realm!" the old man said through gritted teeth, clutching his fist.

He was the mysterious figure who, some time ago, descended to the lower realm with his avatar, only to be subjugated by Chen Lan, resulting in his avatar being taken away and its whereabouts unknown.

He also had another identity, the Sect Leader of Lingming Immortal Palace, the Spiritual Clarity Daoist Saint!

Previously, his avatar was always in the lower realm and was even imprisoned in the Immortal Suppression Tower, so he couldn't sense it. But now, he actually sensed that faint trace of aura, he can't be mistaken, it's his avatar.

That damned guy, daring to take his avatar to the upper realm, this is a blatant provocation!

After being in seclusion for so long, finally, he came up.

The Spiritual Clarity Daoist Saint didn't know what had happened during this period, he didn't get involved, after all, he wasn't very eager for the resources of the Blue Star, knowing that his own strength was weaker compared to the other Taoist Saints, even if he got involved, he wouldn't be able to grab much resources, so he simply didn't bother and chose to enter seclusion instead.

Therefore, he didn't know that the people from the Desolate Celestial Realm had already descended once, only to be defeated miserably by Chen Lan and returning in disgrace.

"Although the aura flickered on and off, it's confirmed to be in the Mad Forest area." The old man frowned slightly, speaking coldly: "Immortal Crane."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of wings flapping could be heard from outside, and a white-feathered Immortal Crane, as huge as a small mountain, flew in, transforming into a young man, kneeling with cupped fists: "Master."

"Go, there's something happening on the side of Mad Forest, find this person and bring him to me." The old man pointed a finger, and a faint light entered the young man's mind, depicting the appearance of Chen Lan.

"Yes, Master." The young man nodded, turned back into the Immortal Crane, and sped outside.

"Haha, boy, daring to come up here is simply seeking death, there's no Heaven and Earth Law protecting you here."

The Spiritual Clarity Daoist Saint sneered coldly and continued his meditation in seclusion.

He believed the Immortal Crane would handle it, as it was his most satisfactory mount, a Wind Ice Immortal Crane, born with consummate comprehension of the Ice and Wind Daos, painstakingly found by him from a snowy mountain to hatch from an Immortal Crane egg, its strength was still that of a Daoist Venerable, more than enough to deal with that person.

However, what the Spiritual Clarity Daoist Saint didn't know was that he faced Chen Lan, who had already become a Taoist Saint and possessed a Divine Bone!

...

Mad Forest.

Along the way, Chen Lan kept asking random questions, and to his surprise, Liu Qingmei seemed very kind, answering him and basically telling him everything she knew.

Chen Lan couldn't help but wonder if this girl had always been so naive, easily trusting others?

If he were a bad guy, he probably could have lured her away by now to do something untoward, right?

It's hard to believe that a Saint King could still be so pure, so peculiar.

Indeed, this Liu Qingmei was actually a Saint King, having reached that rank at the age of sixteen, such talent was really commendable, and she could likely become a Quasi-Emperor by the age of eighteen.

Although not as impressive as Ye Lan of the past, it's still quite remarkable, especially being in a notable country, if placed in a top sect, and properly cultivated, she could likely become an Immortal Emperor by eighteen.

At this moment, Chen Lan finally understood the weight of a saying, truly in the Desolate Celestial Realm, Immortal Emperors, Celestial Emperors are as common as pigs and dogs, and Supreme Great Emperors abound, it's indeed a treasure land, akin to the difference between small and big factories on the Blue Star, no wonder the other worlds are scrambling to get here, even if they don't know how dangerous it is, they still want to come.

This might be the allure of the unknown.

People are often extremely curious about the unknown, even if it might lead to their death, yet there are still those who are unafraid to explore the unknown, but this is divided into two types, the respectable scientists and others, and the fools.

"Wait." Suddenly, Chen Lan stopped and spoke lightly.

Hearing this, Liu Qingmei, who was walking upfront, paused, then turned back upon noticing Chen Lan's odd expression, quickly rushing to his side, grabbing his shoulder like a frightened little bird.

"Come out." Chen Lan said coldly.

In an instant, several figures appeared out of nowhere, all clad in black robes, their hats covering their faces, obscuring their features.

"We didn't expect to be discovered by you." The leading figure sneered, his voice male.

The man's heart was slightly shaken, because the black robes they wore weren't ordinary, they could shield their aura, even those two levels higher might not detect them, yet this young man could, could he be a Daoist Venerable?

Such a young Daoist Venerable is already rare, they have seen many who achieved Venerability young, yet this young man is unfamiliar.

Moreover, this is the Mad Forest, the strongest Demon Beast is merely a Supreme Great Emperor, would a Daoist Venerable come here?

They were sure, this young man must possess some kind of detection Magical Treasure or Divine Techniques.

"Kid, hand over Liu Qingmei, and we might let you die intact." Another of the black-robed figures shouted angrily.

Hearing this, Liu Qingmei's heart jolted, hurriedly looking up to Chen Lan, her pitiful and pleading gaze seemed to say: Please, save me.

Of course, Chen Lan wouldn't hand over Liu Qingmei, after all, these small fry in front of him could be easily wiped out with one move.

"Many have said those words to me before, but their fate was always death without a whole body." Chen Lan sighed, speaking helplessly.

As soon as he spoke, an immensely strong pressure descended instantly, causing the group to explode into a mist of blood, their souls scattered, never to reincarnate, leaving only the man in the lead.

Seeing his companions annihilated in an instant, the black-robed man collapsed to the ground in terror, looking at Chen Lan in horror: "Who are you, so young yet with the strength of a Daoist Venerable, why have I never heard of you?"

"A frog in a well, how can it see the world outside?" Chen Lan grabbed forcefully, pulling the man into his palm instantly, his Soul Dao Power began invading the soul!

Soon, a soulless body was casually tossed aside by Chen Lan.

"These people were sent by your uncle to kill you, why does your uncle want to kill you?" Chen Lan turned to look at Liu Qingmei, having learned from the memory of the black-robed man just now that they were sent by Liu Dong, the second son of the Liu Family, to kill Liu Qingmei.

What kind of enmity justifies such family slaughter.

Upon hearing Chen Lan's words, Liu Qingmei seemed to lose all her strength, her face turning pale as she almost fell down, luckily, she was caught by Chen Lan in time.

"Maybe it's because if I die, my grandfather won't be saved, and my uncle can legitimately become the patriarch."
