Originally, Lu Ye was still a little hesitant about his decision to invite Haitang to Nine Regions, but after hearing Jian Guhong's words, he immediately understood that his decision was right.
When he was with Feng Rumo before, although he heard some information about the starry sky from Feng Rumo, the information was not systematic and very scattered, mainly because Feng Rumo said what he thought.
But if he could get Haitang to help popularize it, it would certainly be of great benefit to Nine Regions' cultivators when they entered the starry sky in the future.
When he explained this matter to Haitang, Haitang naturally agreed. She was still very happy to be able to help Lu Ye.
Several days passed.
The battlefield imprint once again sent a message. Lu Ye checked and found that it was Little Nine.
"What is it?"
Little Nine's tone was somewhat hesitant. "There is one thing, I don't know if I should tell you, but I don't want to tell you, it's so difficult."
Lu Ye was speechless. "Since you don't want to tell me, why did you bring it up?"
Little Nine said, "But if I don't tell you, you will blame me when you find out in the future."
"What can I blame you for?" Lu Ye was curious. "What is it, if you don't tell me, I will blame you right now."
Speaking halfway was still very annoying. If Little Nine didn't mention it, it would be fine, but since he mentioned it, it must be something related to him, so he had to know.
"Then I'll tell you." Little Nine hurriedly said. Although he had intelligence, his temperament was still equivalent to a child. In the entire Nine Regions, he could only chat with Lu Ye from time to time. The others simply didn't know his specific existence. Hearing Lu Ye say so, how could he dare to hide anything.
"There is a woman called Thought Moon Immortal who has gone missing."
Lu Ye's figure paused, his brows furrowed. "Missing? What do you mean? "
"He just disappeared, he suddenly disappeared!" Little Nine replied.
He knew that Lu Ye and Thought Moon Immortal had a good relationship. When Lu Ye first entered the State Guard, he received a lot of care from Thought Moon Immortal. If it was a Nine Regions cultivator that Lu Ye was not familiar with or did not know, he would be too lazy to tell Lu Ye this matter.
Lu Ye realized that something was wrong.
Jian Guhong still needed to check the status of the battlefield imprints to confirm the recent situation of the Constellation Realm cultivators who had left the Nine States. For example, Lu Ye had left the range of contact, and Jian Guhong had been unable to contact him.
However, Little Nine was different. As the Heavenly Secrets of the Nine Prefectures, it could sense the location of the Constellation Realm cultivators at any time. If it said they were missing, then the matter was not so simple.
"Is it beyond the range of your senses?" Lu Ye asked.
"That's not it. Although her original location wasn't far from the edge of my detection range, I would have been able to detect her if she had gradually exceeded my detection range. However, the truth is that I had suddenly lost the detection of her battlefield imprint."
As expected, something had happened.
Lu Ye was silent for a moment before asking, "Is he dead or alive?"
"I don't know. I can't sense the battlefield imprint, so I can't determine if he's dead or alive."
Within the range of the Heavenly Secrets of the Nine Prefectures, if a cultivator died, the imprint would shatter. Others could also determine their death through this method, but it was not possible outside the range of the Heavenly Secrets. Outside the range, even if the cultivator died, the imprint would only be in a state of being unable to contact and would not shatter.
This was also the reason why Little Nine didn't want to tell Lu Ye about this. If the Thought Moon Immortal was really dead, then the place where she disappeared would definitely be extremely dangerous. If it didn't tell Lu Ye, then Lu Ye wouldn't investigate. But if it told Lu Ye, then Lu Ye would definitely not ignore it.
"When did it happen?" Lu Ye asked again.
"Two hours ago!"
"You guide me!" Lu Ye said as he immediately turned around and flew away.
Little Nine sighed. He knew that things would develop like this. In desperation, he could only guide Lu Ye.
Not to mention that Thought Moon Immortal had taken care of Lu Ye a lot, even if Lu Ye really didn't know about the Nine Prefectures, under the premise that they might be in danger, Lu Ye would still investigate.
Since it was within the range of the Heavenly Secrets of the Nine Prefectures, then what was the danger and how dangerous it was, he must figure it out. This was his responsibility as the first generation of Nine Prefectures.
Haitang, who was sitting on Lu Ye's shoulder to recover, slowly opened her eyes.
Lu Ye transmitted his voice, "Senior Sister Haitang, I won't return to this realm for the time being. A Senior Sister is missing. I have to investigate."
Haitang understood and nodded, "Then you have to be careful."
She continued to speed up her recovery to ensure that if Lu Ye encountered any danger, she could help him in time.
The location where Thought Moon Immortal disappeared was not far from Lu Ye, only a month's journey away. This was also the reason why Little Nine chose to send a message to Lu Ye, because out of all the Nine Regions' Constellations, only Lu Ye was the closest to here.
Nowadays, although there were many Nine Prefectures, when they entered the starry sky outside the Nine Prefectures, they were like fish pouring into the sea, extremely scattered. Usually, unless they traveled together like the Sect Leader and Yun Xuechu, it was difficult for the native cultivators of Nine Prefectures to meet each other in the starry sky.
A month later, following the guidance of Little Nine, Lu Ye arrived at the location where Thought Moon Immortal disappeared. He did not show up rashly, but hid far away and quietly investigated.
But as far as the eye could see, there was nothing in this starry sky. Not to mention stars, there was not even a meteorite.
What kind of danger could there be in such a place that would cause Thought Moon Immortal to suddenly disappear?
Just when Lu Ye was puzzled and was about to investigate more carefully, Haitang suddenly let out a soft cry and flew out from Lu Ye's shoulder.
Seeing this, Lu Ye followed closely.
Not long after, Haitang flew to a position and stood still. She looked around and immediately raised her hand to form a seal.
A strange light suddenly flashed from her eyes. After staring for a while, a smile bloomed on her face and she said happily, "Junior Brother Lu, I found the aura of home."
"The aura of home?"
Haitang's little head kept nodding. "Fangcun Mountain, it stayed here for a while!"
Lu Ye looked carefully, but even with the Insight Spirit Pattern, he did not find anything strange in the vicinity. He immediately understood that this should be a secret technique unique to the Miniman Clan, and only the Miniman Clan could perform it. She saw the "aura of home".
His heart thumped.
Thought Moon Immortal disappeared from this position a month ago. Haitang said that Fangcun Mountain had stayed in this position for a while …
Things couldn't be so coincidental, right?
But if there was no other possibility, then this was the only possibility.
"Can you find it?" Lu Ye asked hurriedly.
Haitang nodded. "It should be possible. They should have sensed that I was missing, so they stayed here for a while to wait for me and left some aura. But I did not show up in the end, so Fangcun Mountain could only continue forward. But there should be some traces left along the way. I can find them."
As she said this, she continued to look around and finally confirmed a direction. "This way!"
As she spoke, she landed back on Lu Ye's shoulder. Lu Ye moved and pounced in that direction.
Although he was worried about the Moon Immortal's safety, Lu Ye could not help but be curious. "Your Fangcun Mountain can stop at any time?"
It was an entire realm, not a spirit boat. How could it stop at any time?
Take the Blood Refining Realm for example. If it were not for the power of the many Heavenly Secrets Pillars, it would not have stopped at the side of the Nine Provinces. That required a lot of pushing force, and in order to stop the Blood Refining Realm, the entire Blood Refining Realm had exhausted a lot of its resources.
Haitang smiled. "Fangcun Mountain might be a little different from what you think, Junior Brother. You'll know when you see it."
Haitang had originally thought that she would never be able to return to her hometown, but she did not expect to have such an unexpected discovery. Her mood was obviously good, but immediately after, she realized something. "Junior Brother Lu, that senior sister of yours went missing in that place?"
Lu Ye nodded. "That's right."
Haitang immediately understood. "In that case, she might have entered Fangcun Mountain."
Lu Ye said, "If so, will there be any danger?"
Although Haitang's temperament was not bad, it was impossible to determine what kind of character the Minimen Clan had. If they were hostile to the human race, then the Moon Immortal would not have a good ending if she fell into their trap.
Haitang said, "If she really entered Fangcun Mountain, Junior Brother need not be too worried. Although our Minimen Clan does not welcome other races into our realm, there will occasionally be some cultivators who intrude. Generally speaking, the cultivators who intrude will not be in danger of losing their lives, but …"
"But what?" Lu Ye knew that generally, when others said "but", it would not be pleasant to hear.
"But they have to serve a hundred years of hard labor before they can regain their freedom." Haitang glanced at Lu Ye with some embarrassment. "This is a rule passed down from Fangcun Mountain since ancient times. Most of the cultivators in the starry sky know about this rule, so generally, after seeing Fangcun Mountain, they will not trespass."
How could the cultivators of Nine Regions know about the rules of the starry sky?
In any case, knowing that the Moon Immortal's life would not be in danger, Lu Ye felt a little relieved. What he was most worried about was that the Moon Immortal had met with an accident.
Now it seemed that the Moon Immortal had most likely accidentally intruded into Fangcun Mountain and was left behind.
As for why Fangcun Mountain would stay in this position …
Since ancient times, Fangcun Mountain had always drifted around. The cultivators of Fangcun Mountain could wander around the realm and go out to collect spirit jades, but they would not go too far. Haitang also did not go too far before, but she encountered the Specter Ship. Although she had seen many records of the Specter Ship in the ancient books, she did not think too much about it at that time. Out of curiosity, she boarded the Specter Ship and ended up trapped inside.
If Lu Ye had not brought her out in the end, she would have most likely met with disaster.
This was a result of her lack of experience in exploring the starry sky. Even if she had read many ancient books and knew about all kinds of strange things in the starry sky, if she was not careful enough, there would still be carelessness.
It was also related to the Specter Ship being too deceptive. It was a broken ship. Lu Ye had carefully inspected it and determined that there was no danger before boarding it. In the end, it was easy to get in, but when he wanted to leave, he could not.
