He hadn't heard from Yang Jian for nearly a month.
Ye Zichen had joined Xiao Ting's forces as a spy, then encountered Bai Haoyu, who'd been massacred. It didn't matter that he didn't have any information, but he hadn't even sent word that he was safe. How could Ye Zichen not worry?
"Our neighbors have been pretty peaceful lately."
Anyone who was in the secret realm knew that he was referring to the Lightning Emperor's Estate.
"Is there any news of Yang Jian?"
Ye Zichen's questions were met with the same negative response. His heart sank further.
It was one thing that Yang Jian hadn't reported his safety within the group, but there was no news of him outside either. After all, he was a special emissary from the Outside, a peerless imperial emperor.
Ye Zichen refused to believe that Yang Jian wouldn't make use of this resource to his advantage.
Could it be that he hadn't infiltrated their ranks yet?
That didn't make much sense. If he hadn't infiltrated their ranks, he could've found an opportunity to say a few words in the group chat.
"Hey, why isn't the Great Sage by your side this time?" asked Pu Jingwan.
"I arranged a marriage for him, so he should be getting to know his father-in-law and brother-in-law," replied Ye Zichen absent-mindedly.
Ye Zichen replied absentmindedly. At that moment, he was completely focused on Yang Jian.
He couldn't bear listening to Pu Jingwan talk any longer. After a long silence, he took out his phone.
He opened Yang Jian's chat window, wrote a message, and sent it.
Message failed!
"Is this place blocked from the internet?" Ye Zichen glanced at Xiao Yumei.
"Of course! This is a divine artifact from the Outside. The internet hasn't reached this place yet," said Xiao Yumei.
"How do we get out of here?"
"Just go through that door."
When he heard that, Ye Zichen walked through the door. When he emerged, he found himself in the same artificial mountain Xiao Yumei had entered earlier.
He took a few glances at the surroundings. This divine artifact blended in very well with the surrounding scenery. Even when he probed it with his divine sense, he couldn't tell that it was an independent space carved out by a divine artifact.
Dingdong.
Dingdong.
Dingdong.
At practically the same time, Pu Jingwan and Xiao Yumei, who'd followed Ye Zichen out of the secret realm, received a series of notifications.
The only thing that could make all three of them receive a notification at the same time was …
Instantly taking out their phones, the three of them opened the group chat in unison.
The chat group, which had been quiet for almost a month, was flooded with more than 99 messages a few minutes ago.
In the group chat, everyone also saw Yang Jian, who had disappeared for nearly a month, return to everyone's line of sight.
Ye Zichen saw how anxious he was in the group. His entire screen was filled with messages from Ye Zichen.
Even now, Ye Zichen's messages were still flooding the screen.
Only Idealism: Here!
Invincible Adorable Beauty: "It's fine if you don't come out, but when you do, it's amazing." What are you doing? Are you trying to blow up our phones?
Monkey King: "Erlang Shen, don't mention me. Ye-zi is here."
Invincible Adorable Beauty: Monkey King, you're here too? I heard from Ye Zichen that you were having a heart-to-heart with my brother-in-law and father-in-law?
Monkey King: Facepalm.
Erlang Shen: "Ye-zi, you're finally out. Where did you go just now? I was so worried."
Only Idealism: There was no signal just now. What's going on? Why are you in such a hurry?
Invincible Adorable Beauty: Normally, you don't even tell me you're safe. Ye Zichen is so worried! The three of you are really passionate.
Erlang Shen: I haven't had a chance to tell you that I'm safe these past few days.
Erlang Shen: I've been busy with serious business!
Only Idealism: Is there something important? Could it be …. Xiao Ting can't take it anymore and is about to make a move?
The Lightning Emperor's Estate had already joined forces with the other clans. Xiao Hu had seen this with his own eyes, and the Fox Empress, Su Qingyan, had mentioned it to him.
They'd established the Upheaval Alliance here in order to intimidate Xiao Ting.
Now that Yang Jian had mentioned him in the group chat, it was highly likely that Xiao Ting had made a move.
As soon as the message was sent, practically everyone in the group waited for Yang Jian's reply.
"What's going on? Why did he disappear halfway through?" Pu Jingwan arched her brows. "I'll mention him in the group …."
"Don't!"
Ye Zichen hurriedly stopped her.
"Just now, Yang Jian said that he hasn't been keeping us safe for the past few days. It's obvious that someone's keeping an eye on him. Just now, he took a risk and tried to send us a message. Who knows, maybe he's in trouble again. "
"Let's wait for Yang Jian. If it's really as Zichen said and Xiao Ting is making a move, we need to prepare as soon as possible," said Xiao Yumei.
As for the Great Sage, he hadn't appeared in the group either.
It seemed he knew that Yang Jian couldn't talk to them in the group chat. If he sent a message, he might expose himself, and the situation would become dangerous.
As a result, he could only wait in silence for Yang Jian's message.
Everything was just as the Great Sage and Ye Zichen had predicted. Yang Jian really couldn't communicate with them in the group.
Just now, Uncle An had come to visit and said that the Lightning Emperor had something to discuss with them.
He was currently standing behind Uncle An, with the Bai Family's Bai Haoyu by his side.
The two of them stared intently ahead. They didn't exchange any glances, but their divine sense transmissions never stopped.
"Did you send the message?" asked Bai Haoyu.
"No, I didn't have time. I was just about to tell them when Uncle An showed up. "
"How stupid," said Bai Haoyu. "Couldn't you have just sent the message to your so-called group chat? Did you really have to communicate with them in real time? Do you know how hard it was to buy you those few minutes? Great! I didn't even send the message. Who knows, I might be exposed. "
Yang Jian's expression froze.
Indeed, even if Ye Zichen and the others weren't here, he could've just sent the message to the group chat. Once they saw it, they'd understand.
He'd been careless. He'd failed to send the most important message.
However, he couldn't quite figure out what kind of person Bai Haoyu was. Back at the Bai Family, he'd fought them to the death. Why was he suddenly on their side now?
The first night they'd entered the Xiao Family estate, he'd asked Bai Haoyu, but his answer had been vague.
"Who exactly are you?"
