"This person's identity has been verified. The one who killed Fellow Daoist Fang and Fellow Daoist Zhong is a cultivator named Li Feiyu. This person was originally a rogue cultivator and joined the Candle Dragon Path hundreds of years ago. Before we could act, the incident of Baili Yan occurred in the Candle Dragon Path. It is said that this person was also implicated and is now missing. The Immortal Palace has issued an arrest warrant for him, but as far as I know, he has not been captured yet." The one-eyed man shook his head and said.

"Li Feiyu..." The zombie man frowned and muttered to himself.

"Senior Brother, please rest assured that after this matter is over, I will definitely send more people to capture this person and let Senior Brother deal with him." The one-eyed man said quickly.

"The Isolation Chains that I bestowed upon Fang Pan and Zhong Luan have probably fallen into this person's hands as well. We must not lose this item." The zombie man said in a deep voice after a moment of silence.

"Yes!" The one-eyed man replied.

The zombie man nodded and then closed his eyes.

Seeing this, the one-eyed man took his leave and walked towards the cabin, where several figures seemed to be sitting.

...

On the other side of the Black Wind Sea, within the raging Chaos Wind, a ball of golden light, tens of feet in size, was flying forward.

The golden light was extremely dazzling, and one could vaguely see a huge golden beetle within. Its entire body was golden, and its surface was covered with purple patterns, making it look rather ferocious.

Interspersed within the golden light were strands of dazzling crystal silk, emitting a chilling light, appearing extremely sharp.

The golden beetle opened its mouth wide, emitting a swallowing force. The nearby Yin winds roared towards it, but they were all swallowed by the golden beetle, unable to hinder it in the slightest.

And on the beetle's body sat a silver-robed woman.

This person looked to be about twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old, wearing a silver crown, silver earrings, and barefooted, with two silver rings adorned with bells on her ankles, appearing in a foreign attire.

This woman's appearance could be considered beautiful, but her eyes were extremely cold, like an unthawing glacier.

The soul-stirring sounds within the surrounding Chaos Wind came from all directions, but they seemed to have no effect on this woman.

Seeing the golden beetle swallowing the Yin winds with unstoppable force, the silver-robed woman nodded slowly, revealing a hint of joy, and muttered to herself:

"Not bad, it was worth spending so much effort."

Squeak, squeak, squeak...

At that moment, the golden beetle suddenly let out a sharp squeal, and its huge body shook violently, causing the woman sitting on it to sway as well.

The silver-robed woman's face darkened, and she hastily chanted incantations, moving her white jade-like fingers.

Streams of magic seals shot out from her hands and entered the golden beetle's body.

The golden beetle shuddered violently, and silver threads appeared on its surface, coalescing into a thick silver chain that deeply penetrated its body.

The chain shook violently, and the golden beetle let out a scream-like shriek, quickly calming down.

Seeing this, the silver-robed woman dismissed the magic seals in her hands.

The thick silver chain turned into a phantom state and disappeared without a trace.

"Strange, even though I have used the Soul Imprisonment Art, why is it still so restless?" The silver-robed woman frowned slightly, muttering to herself.

The woman's face revealed a thoughtful look. After a moment, she shook her head and said, "Forget it, I'll deal with it after this is over."

The silver-robed woman made a hand seal, and the silver light on her delicate body shone brightly, transforming into a bright silver ball of light, which slowly merged into the golden beetle's body.

The golden beetle's huge body trembled, and the golden light it emitted instantly brightened several times. Its body suddenly transformed into a huge golden phantom, and its flying speed also increased a lot.

...

In the blink of an eye, nearly five years had passed.

The Reincarnation Hall Secret Realm was still as quiet as ever. Inside the hall within the mountain, two figures sat opposite each other, namely the scarred man and Jiao San from before.

The scarred man's face looked somewhat gloomy. Jiao San wore a mask, so his expression could not be seen, but judging from his eyes, he was not relaxed either.

"Tell me, what is the situation like outside now?" Jiao San asked.

"Xiao Jinhan arrived in the Black Wind Sea several years ago. Cangliu Palace and Fuling Sect are the same, and they are all led by their sect masters. Especially Fuling Sect, it is said that their Grand Elder Feng Du is also likely to have come." The scarred man said with some concern.

"It seems that their plans this time are not small." Jiao San sneered and said.

"The current situation has somewhat exceeded our expectations. To be safe, should we report to the higher-ups?" The scarred man suggested.

"No need. The Northern Cold Immortal Palace, Cangliu Palace, and Fuling Sect have different thoughts and are not of one mind. We can take advantage of the situation and let them fight each other, taking the opportunity to complete our own mission." Jiao San shook his head and said.

"If everything goes smoothly, that would naturally be good. But I'm afraid that the three families will reach an agreement behind our backs and join hands to deal with us. That would be troublesome." The scarred man frowned.

"The Northern Cold Immortal Palace took the opportunity to deal with Baili Yan and took control of the Candle Dragon Path. Cangliu Palace and Fuling Sect are watching. Even if they don't show anything on the surface, the possibility of them cooperating is extremely low. Even if they cooperate, I have already made countermeasures for this. Just proceed with the plan as usual." Jiao San said slowly.

"Since Fellow Daoist Jiao San has already made plans, then I can rest assured." The scarred man's face relaxed, and he nodded.

"Has Fellow Daoist Chi investigated the situation on Red Moon Island clearly?" Jiao San asked again.

"Don't worry, everything has been thoroughly investigated and will definitely not delay the important matter." The scarred man said.

"That's good." Jiao San nodded.

"Everything is ready on my side, and now only the Void Essence Pill is missing. The fifteen-year deadline you gave me has arrived. How is Long Wu's pill concoction going?" The scarred man asked, changing the subject.

Hearing this, Jiao San's eyes darkened, and he did not speak.

"This person is indeed useless. Now there is not much time left. What should we do now?" The scarred man asked with a somewhat unsightly expression.

"Now that things have come to this, we can only adopt another alternative plan. However, the chances of success will be greatly reduced." Jiao San said with a cold glint in his eyes.

"That's all we can do. This person has failed our expectations. He should immediately be stripped of his qualifications as a Son of Reincarnation. Moreover, this person knows so many of our secrets, he must..." The scarred man sighed and said coldly.

Before he could finish speaking, the surrounding void suddenly shook, and a feeling of earth-shattering rumbling was transmitted.

The hall where the two were standing also shook, and bursts of huge, sharp rumbling sounds came from outside.

The two men's faces changed. They exchanged glances and immediately flew out, appearing outside the mountain belly in a flash.

They saw that the clear sky of the secret realm had changed color. Patches of dark clouds emerged from nowhere and rolled violently.

Streaks of black lightning zigzagged through the dark clouds, emitting deafening roars. The entire sky was like a pot of boiling water.

"Could it be..." Seeing this scene, a hint of joy flashed in Jiao San's eyes.

The scarred man's face was first shocked, and then he also revealed a happy expression.

The spiritual energy of the entire secret realm also fluctuated and then converged towards the dark clouds like a tide.

The dark clouds grew rapidly and spread out, and began to rotate. A black vortex slowly emerged in the center of the dark clouds, facing Han Li's cave.

At this moment, several cultivators flew out from various parts of the secret realm. They were all True Immortal Realm cultivators, and one of them was Li Sixteen, who had previously led Han Li here.

"Quick, activate the forbidden incantation!" Jiao San shouted at Li Sixteen and the others, making hand seals.

"Yes!"

Li Sixteen and the others immediately agreed. Their bodies and escape lights moved, and they flew towards various parts of the secret realm.

As Jiao San chanted incantations, dazzling golden light emanated from his body and flew into the air, forming a huge golden light pillar.

Countless golden runes flickered on the light pillar, and waves of enormous power emanated from it, causing the nearby void to tremble.

The scarred man was shaken by this wave and staggered slightly, a look of surprise in his eyes.

He flashed and flew dozens of feet away, looking at Jiao San.

Rumble!

In other parts of the secret realm, thick golden light pillars also emerged, numbering over ninety.

The nine golden light pillars shot into the sky and disappeared into the void above the secret realm.

The secret realm suddenly lit up, and large swaths of golden light appeared, rippling out in circles like water waves, forming a huge golden light formation covering the entire sky of the secret realm in an instant.

Waves of Sanskrit sounds emanated from the golden light formation, making people feel empty and clear, with a feeling of intoxication.

The dark clouds in the sky were covered by the golden light formation and seemed to be restricted, stopping their growth.

The vast aura of law emanating from the dark clouds was also imprisoned by the golden light, only激荡 within the secret realm and not transmitted outside.

Seeing this scene, Jiao San's face relaxed.

Although the dark clouds were imprisoned, the surrounding earth spiritual energy was not affected by the golden light formation and continued to converge towards the dark clouds.

As time passed, the dark clouds in the sky became denser and denser, eventually becoming almost solid.

Waves of incomparably powerful law fluctuations emanated from the dark clouds and impacted the surrounding light formation.

The golden light formation trembled, and the area closest to the dark clouds directly shattered and collapsed.

Jiao San was startled and made hand seals like wheels. Streams of magic seals flew out, and the golden light pillar around him immediately brightened. The other light pillars also lit up, and surging golden light submerged into the golden light formation in the sky.

The shattered light formation suddenly brightened, and countless golden runes emerged, quickly rebuilding the light formation, making it brighter than before.

The fluctuations emanating from the dark clouds became stronger and stronger. The nearby light formation supported for a while before being torn apart again, but it was immediately regenerated under the spells of Jiao San and the others.

In this way, constantly shattering and regenerating, the golden light formation trembled, but it always firmly imprisoned the dark clouds within the secret realm.
