Jianchen chuckled. He looked at Xiao Ling's pure and cute appearance with both love and affection. He said, "Xiao Ling, how do you want me to reward you?"
"Xiao Ling's reward is that you have to visit Xiao Ling often in the future," Xiao Ling giggled.
"Alright, no problem. As long as I have the time, I'll definitely visit Xiao Ling often. How about that?" Jianchen smiled.
"Yay! Big brother, you can't go back on your word," Xiao Ling excitedly waved her hands. She was extremely happy.
Under Xiao Ling's lead, Jianchen saw Ming Dong and Huang Tianba, who were still cultivating. The two of them were currently immersed in their comprehension of the mysteries of the world, having entered a state of selflessness.
Jianchen only watched from afar. He did not disturb the two of them. In the past few years, they had been cultivating in seclusion, comprehending the mysteries of the world that Xiao Ling had created. They used the clearest of perspectives to comprehend the profound truths of the world, which was thousands of times easier than comprehending by themselves in the mist. They progressed at a shocking rate.
Huang Tianba had already reached the Eighth Heavenly Layer of Saint Ruler and was not far away from the Ninth Heavenly Layer. At this rate, he would probably become a glorious Holy Emperor in a year's time.
Ming Dong progressed extremely quickly as well. His talent was already pretty good, so with Tian Jian and Xiao Ling's assistance, he had already reached the Seventh Heavenly Layer of Saint Ruler.
Jianchen did not stay for long. He promised Xiao Ling that he would definitely return to visit her very soon before leaving through the Space Gate in Mercenary City.
Xiao Ling stared longingly in the direction that Jianchen had disappeared in. She murmured, "Master's scent on big brother is fading. Looks like it's been a very long time since you've seen master, but that doesn't matter anymore. As long as big brother can visit Xiao Ling often, Xiao Ling will be very happy."
"Mmm … big brother said that as long as Xiao Ling works hard at cultivating master's cultivation method, Xiao Ling will be able to see master in the future. Big brother won't lie to Xiao Ling. Xiao Ling can't sleep so much anymore. She has to work hard at cultivation," Xiao Ling clenched her fists tightly. She was determined, as if she had made a very important decision.
Jianchen returned to Lore City while Ruijin returned to Lore City after gathering enough Dragon Saliva Grass from Dragon Island. Honglian had finished refining the items she needed to cast down the formation as well, so she emerged from the artifact space. The operation to seal the protector clan of Changyang Prefecture was about to begin.
Jianchen, You Yue, Honglian, and Ruijin gathered together to discuss the exact steps of the operation. Only the four of them were participating in the operation to seal the Changyang Prefecture this time. Black Fish was not participating because he was deeply poisoned.
"Sealing the passage between the protector clans and the outside world won't go very smoothly. We'll definitely encounter the powerful obstruction of the protector clans, and we might even have to face attacks from Emperor Armaments. During the operation, I'll have to use the secret technique as hard as I can, so I won't be able to help you. The resistance of the protector clans will be up to the three of you."
"And during the process of sealing, the space has to be maintained at a stable state. If the space ripples too much, the seal might even fail. As a result, the three of you need to enter the miniature world of Changyang Prefecture and keep them busy. You can't drag the battle outside." Ruijin said sternly. They had to succeed this time. They could not fail, or Tie Ta's identity would definitely be announced by the furious great elder of Changyang Prefecture.
"Ruijin, how long do we need to keep them busy for you?" Honglian asked.
"Since we're sealing a protector clan this time, it'll take a little longer. I need four hours," Ruijin said.
Honglian furrowed her brows, "We're fighting in the miniature world of the protector clans this time. That's their base. Their heritage is extremely deep, so they definitely have various trump cards that they haven't revealed yet. They'll definitely resist with everything they have when we seal them this time. It'll be rather difficult for us to keep them busy for four hours with our current strength without affecting the space outside."
"There's not a lot of energy left in the Moon God Scepter by my master, and the Bright Moon Divine Hall needs to be outside to draw upon the essence of the moon. If we enter the miniature world of Changyang Prefecture, the Bright Moon Divine Hall will only be able to defend. They won't be able to attack," You Yue said.
"We can't fail this time no matter what. If we don't have absolute confidence, we can't act recklessly," Jianchen sternly said. He could not afford to fail this time.
This was because Tie Ta's identity would be exposed prematurely if they failed.
"If only that girl was here," Ruijin gently sighed. At this moment, he actually thought of the Heavenly Enchantress.
Jianchen also thought of her beautiful figure. It was just a pity that the Heavenly Enchantress had failed to obtain the Saints' Fruit and had left resentfully. Jianchen also knew that he would probably be rejected if he asked the Heavenly Enchantress for help under these circumstances.
At this moment, a light sound of a zither pierced through the layers of obstructions. The sound was gentle, as if it contained a boundless magic that could silently influence the minds of others. Jianchen, Ruijin, and Honglian all became alert when they heard the sound.
"Haha, she sure has come at the right time. Jianchen, whether we can successfully seal up Changyang Prefecture or not will all depend on you. Go and have a good talk with her. With her help, the operation will be much easier this time," Ruijin chuckled as he glanced past You Yue.
A strange light flashed through You Yue's eyes. She blinked her large, bright eyes before remaining silent. She only stared at Jianchen.
Jianchen had never thought that the Heavenly Enchantress would come at a time like this. He said to You Yue, "Yue 'er, I'll be right back." With that, Jianchen left.
Jianchen could not sense the Heavenly Enchantress' presence, nor could he tell where the sound had come from. All he could do was use the senses of his soul to search for her again.
A while later, Jianchen withdrew the senses of his soul. He shot into the sky, disappearing into the thick clouds in the blink of an eye.
Wild winds whistled through the sea of clouds. They were ear-piercing. Jianchen traveled on a white cloud as his robes flapped in the wind. His hair danced in the wind as well.
The Heavenly Enchantress stood in the sea of clouds. Her face was covered by a veil, so her appearance was obscured. However, the Zither of the Demonic Cry was not in her arms this time. Instead, a young, chubby boy stood beside her. She held the boy's hand as invisible World Force revolved around him, blocking the whistling winds.
