"The Southern Exalt's personal disciple, Liu Xianting?" Yan Zhaoge repeated this name.
Mu Jun nodded and said, "I've only met him once. It was 30 years ago, and we didn't talk at that time."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "In recent years, I have not heard any news of her, nor have I heard that she is adventuring outside. I cannot be sure if she is currently residing at Wutong Slope. My understanding of Liu Xianting is also very limited."
"Under the vast heavens, there are trillions of lifeforms. People who look alike are not rare, many of them not related by blood. Therefore, I cannot be certain that she is really related to the person you and junior apprentice-brother Tang speak of. "
"Still, I feel that she might be related to Zhuang Chaohui taking her away for no reason at all."
Mu Jun glanced at Yan Zhaoge as he said this.
Tang Yonghao definitely hoped that Golden Court Mountain could think of a way to rescue Meng Wan.
It was just that with the southern Blazing Heaven Territory coveting his phoenix bone, he could not interfere in this matter as he could only listen to the arrangements of his sect.
If Mu Jun was the one making the decision, he would definitely not wish for unnecessary problems to arise.
Golden Court Mountain would be able to play a great role in negotiations with Phoenix Ritual Mountain's Wutong Slope around the phoenix bone.
Yan Zhaoge pondered, "Since that is so, Meng Wan was taken away by Zhuang Chaohui at the very least, her life not in danger."
"Zhuang Chaohui may have taken her away for personal reasons, not having much to do with the phoenix bone."
Mu Jun said, "If this old friend of yours and junior apprentice-brother Tang is really related to Liu Xianting."
Yan Zhaoge nodded slowly.
There was also the possibility of Zhuang Chaohui mistaking her for someone else.
As Mu Jun had said earlier, there were many people who looked alike yet were unrelated to each other. It might just be a coincidence that Meng Wan and Liu Xianting looked alike.
After taking his leave of Mu Jun, Yan Zhaoge told them about what had happened.
"This is just a clue," Yan Zhaoge said in the end, "Meng Wan's situation is actually still unclear."
He spread his hands. "For example, if Meng Wan's mother is really Liu Xianting, then who is her father?"
Feng Yunsheng pinched her temples. "I only hope that Zhuang Chaohui will take her away and treat her well."
Yan Zhaoge said, "If Mu Jun did not create this Wutong Slope disciple Liu Xianting based on Meng Wan's appearance, there shouldn't be much of a problem."
"Even if Meng Wan is unrelated to Liu Xianting and Zhuang Chaohui mistook her for someone else, Meng Wan's life would most likely not be in danger. At most, she would be interrogated about me, our clan, the Extreme Yin Crown and the Eight Extremities World."
Feng Yunsheng nodded.
Yan Zhaoge looked at Yan Di, "According to Xiao Ai's words, mother seems to be hiding from her enemies. We also do not know who it is that is causing trouble for her. In order to prevent this from leaking out, I did not ask those of Golden Court Mountain about her."
Yan Di said, "You did very well."
He glanced around at the surroundings of Golden Court Mountain and said, "We have obtained the answer we want from this trip to Golden Court Mountain."
"Now, I will be returning to the Royal Reed Sea. You are free to do as you please, arranging your own itinerary."
Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge said, "You can rest easy. I have a rough idea of when the black hole at the bottom of the Clear Scenic Region will vanish and when Kang Ping and the others will escape."
After taking his leave, Yan Zhaoge remained on Golden Court Mountain for another two days as he became very familiar with the people here.
When he was free, he would also inquire about where Heavenly Flame Trees grew in the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory.
Aside from Yan Di, more experts of Golden Court Mountain indeed left Shanxi and headed to the Royal Reed Sea.
That was the frontline of contact between the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory and the southern Blazing Heaven Territory. The two sides would still be fighting over that phoenix bone. Zhuang Chaohui and the others would not give up easily.
A few days later, Yan Zhaoge's group took their leave of the Southern Exalt and left Golden Court Mountain.
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "Xiao Ai, it will be up to you now."
Xiao Ai said very earnestly, "Young Master, it's Xiao Ai."
According to Xiao Ai, Xue Chuqing had travelled extensively in the past.
Not mentioning the places she had visited alone, just travelling with Xiao Ai by her side, they had already been to many places.
These included not just the various places of the World beyond Worlds but some extradimensional spaces as well. Xiao Ai had even accompanied her to descend to a lower world before coming back up again.
The Dim Radiant Mausoleum was one place, and there were a few other places within the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory as well.
One of them was even not far from the Royal Reed Sea as it was to its south.
Yan Zhaoge's group set off from Golden Court Mountain, searching for them from near to far away.
Sadly, there were no more clues left behind in these places.
Yan Zhaoge was actually most interested in Kunlun Mountain of the central Jun Heaven Territory.
His intuition told him that his mother had likely been born there, and that he would be able to find valuable clues there.
Still, firstly, it was too far away and secondly, the environment there was complicated. Xue Chuqing might also be being pursued now. If he rashly went there, he might fall right into their trap.
After thinking about it, Yan Zhaoge decided to give up on this very attractive idea.
"Young Master, we should be in the vicinity of the Setting Sun Archipelago after a while?" Ah Hu shaded his eyes with his hand, gazing into the distance.
Yan Zhaoge held a skewer of meat as he sat on Pan-Pan's back, saying nonchalantly as he ate, "Strictly speaking, we are already within the domain of the Setting Sun Archipelago."
They had already been travelling for over half a year.
They did not waste any time as they cultivated as they travelled.
Pan-Pan had already awoken from his slumber, having successfully refined the Taotie's demonic heart and demonic blood.
The Setting Sun Archipelago was located in the southwest corner of the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory. To the north and slightly west was the Royal Reed Sea.
This was also a portion of the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory's western region of sea. While it was called an archipelago, the islands were actually very large as they practically resembled numerous small continents squeezed together.
The land of the Setting Sun Archipelago occupied a greater area than the sea.
According to Xiao Ai, Xue Chuqing had once lived in seclusion on one of these islands for a period of time.
Heading southeast from here, they would officially be on land. There was the Jade Sun Mountain Range where Heavenly Flame Trees grew.
Yan Zhaoge intended to first visit his mother's old residence before heading to the Jade Sun Mountain Range to investigate matters related to the Heavenly Flame Trees and the Encompassing Abundance Golden Pill.
"Young Mistress, your culinary skills are really good!" Xiao Ai was currently seated beside Yan Zhaoge, her hands moving left and right as she ate happily, a wooden skewer in each hand.
Feng Yunsheng was also holding a skewer as she smiled as she ate, "It's good that you like it."
A large pot hovered in the air before her, blazing flames blazing beneath it as a mouth-watering fragrance emanated from the boiling soup within.
Several dozen skewers were pierced through and placed by the side of the pot. Feng Yunsheng casually picked one up, throwing it forward.
The skewer fell in an arc as Pan-Pan below turned his head, opening his mouth wide and directly swallowing it as his eyes instantly narrowed in joy.
Ah Hu was also holding a skewer of meat as he chuckled as he ate, "This place neighbours the Royal Reed Sea. News of the Royal Reed Sea has already spread over here. Young Master, you can be considered a celebrity here."
Yan Zhaoge asked excitedly, "Oh, what did they say?" (To be continued.)
