Within three days.
Lu An spent most of his time cultivating in his room. He would only eat with the rest during mealtimes. After all, a level five Heavenly Master still needed to eat. Unlike a level six Heavenly Master who could obtain an endless supply of energy from heaven and earth, he had to put on a good show to avoid suspicion.
Just the day before yesterday, there were some problems at the border of Four River Country. A group of people suddenly stirred up trouble, so Tan Xingbang naturally brought people to quell the chaos. However, the army could only destroy the enemy in their own territory and not in another country's territory. Otherwise, it would be starting a war. This kind of thing naturally had to be done by the people of the Sacred Ground. This was not a small matter and the mission was huge. Naturally, it would be done by people with high strength.
The person who went this time was none other than Liu Wen's second disciple, Shang Ze.
Liu Wen's eldest disciple was already a level six Heavenly Master. As an elder, he would not go on such a mission. However, Shang Ze had not returned after a long time. According to the plan, Liu Wen should have returned yesterday. However, there was still no news of him. Even after sending people to look for him, there was no trace of him.
The disappearance of the Sect Leader's second disciple was not a small matter. Liu Wen quickly sent more people to investigate. However, on the third day, before the people he sent out could leave, an elder suddenly entered the main peak and handed a letter to the Sect Leader!
"Sect Leader!" The elder panted and said loudly, "Just now, someone used an arrow to pierce this letter into the gate outside the mountain!"
The Sect Leader was shocked when he heard that. He quickly took the letter and opened it.
"If you want your disciple to be fine, head to the Yellow Sand City in the Endless Desert. If you don't appear before sunset, your head will be separated from your body!"
After reading the content, Liu Wen immediately clenched his fist and held the paper tightly in his hand. His aura became very unstable and the entire mountain was shaking!
The other elders were very uneasy. The Sect Leader doted on his second disciple very much. The second disciple was indeed a moldable talent. Such a sudden occurrence was really unexpected!
"Sect Leader, you can't go!" An elder quickly said, "If the other party dares to send Sect Leader, it means that they are very confident. This is very likely a trap. We must not fall for it!"
Once this was said, some elders immediately agreed and said, "Although it's a pity for the second disciple, nothing must happen to Sect Leader, not even the slightest bit of danger! If something really happens to Sect Leader, the entire Sacred Ground and Four River Country will be in trouble! "
Hearing the persuasion around him, Liu Wen gradually calmed down. Just as he was about to say something, an elder suddenly said, "If we don't go and this matter spreads, how will our Four River Sacred Ground and Four River Kingdom have any face left?"
As soon as he said that, Liu Wen and the other elders immediately turned to look at him. The person who spoke was a peak master from the outer peak. He had a very high status and was usually very low-key and taciturn. Who would have thought that he would speak at this time?
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, that person hesitated and didn't retreat. Instead, he said, "Sect Leader is very strong. How could that person be his match? It is very likely that this is the opponent's bet. As long as the Sect Leader does not go, they will have a reason to slander the reputation of our Holy Land. At that time, the reputation of the Holy Land and the Four River Kingdom will be ruined, and we will be known as the laughing stock of other countries. How can we establish a country then? "
Hearing this person's words, the hearts of all the elders trembled. Although this person's words were very abrupt, they did make some sense. If the other party took the opportunity to spread the news, it would indeed cause great damage to the reputation of the Holy Land and the country.
"But a damaged reputation is better than a destroyed country!" Another elder retorted. "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. As long as we are strong enough, other than talking behind our backs, what else would others dare to do?"
"Gossip is a fearful thing!" The peak master immediately said, "If we don't even care about our dignity, what's the point of living?!"
"You!!"
"Enough!" Liu Wen suddenly scolded, frowning as he looked at the two of them. He said in a deep voice, "You haven't done anything yet and you're already in a mess. Aren't you giving the outsiders an opportunity to take advantage of?!"
"…"
The two of them didn't say anything else, but their eyes were full of resentment. Liu Wen didn't have time to pay attention to the two of them. He said to the elders, "I still want to go on this trip!"
The elders were shocked when they heard this. They hurriedly tried to persuade him, but Liu Wen raised his hand to stop them.
"You don't have to persuade me." Liu Wen looked at the crowd and said, "I've made up my mind. I can't watch my disciple die in vain!"
"Then I'm willing to go with the Sect Leader!" An elder immediately cupped his hands and said.
"Me too!" Many elders joined in!
"I can't bring so many people, lest we fall for the enemy's trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain." Liu Wen said in a deep voice. He looked around and asked two elders who didn't have much time left to live to follow him. The others were to guard the sacred ground.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
"I want to go too."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. They all looked to the side. The one who spoke was none other than the Sect Leader's new fourth disciple, Little Six.
"Nonsense!" Without waiting for the Sect Leader to speak, an elder directly shouted, "This is no small matter. The people who are going are at least Level Six Heavenly Masters. You don't even know how to fly. You'll only cause trouble for others if you go!"
Although the tone of his words wasn't good, and the content was a little overboard, it was indeed the truth. The other elders also nodded. Now was not the time to be stubborn.
In everyone's eyes, the fourth disciple didn't speak. Instead, he looked at the Sect Leader with a stubborn gaze. The Sect Leader frowned, but after three breaths, he nodded and said, "You'll go with me."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They hurriedly said, "Sect Leader, this …"
"There's no need to say anymore." The Sect Leader waved his hand and said solemnly, "Since he has such intentions, I cannot stop him. Furthermore, one's life path should be chosen by oneself. Since he wants to go, then let him go."
"…"
All the elders stared blankly at the Sect Leader. They didn't know when the Sect Leader had become so open-minded.
Since the decision had already been made, the Sect Leader didn't delay any longer. After exhorting a few things, the Vice Sect Leader temporarily replaced him as the Sect Leader. He led the two elders and Lu An to immediately open the transportation array and set off for the Endless Desert!

Endless Desert, Yellow Sand City.
The Four Rivers Country was located in the southeast of the Endless Desert. In the southwest of the Endless Desert, which bordered several countries, Yellow Sand City was a very famous city.
Although the Endless Desert was a desert, it didn't mean that there weren't any cities. Just like how the Divine Monarch Religion built castles in the desert, powerful Heavenly Masters could build their own territories in the desert. However, they would have to face the violent storms at any time. All the resources and supplies had to be brought in from the outside world.
Yellow Sand City, as the name implied, the entire city was built with yellow sand. However, this sand wasn't ordinary sand. It was said that it was built by an Earth Attribute expert. This Yellow Sand City wasn't owned by a single person. Instead, it was an open public city. It was a trading place and a place to stay in the Endless Desert.
Those who could come to such a deep place to trade were all powerful Heavenly Masters. They were at least Level 4 Heavenly Masters. There were many Level 5 Heavenly Masters and even Level 6 Heavenly Masters. However, basically no one would fight in Yellow Sand City. After all, there was an endless desert not far outside. There was no need to fight in the city. It would destroy the city and offend people. It would be a waste of effort and not gain any benefits.
Not only that, Yellow Sand City was also a boundary. Although the wind and sand outside Yellow Sand City was strong, it wasn't that Heavenly Masters below Level 6 couldn't walk. However, if one walked from Yellow Sand City to the depths of the desert, if one wasn't a Level 6 Heavenly Master, it was very likely that one would be killed by the wind and sand.
At this moment.
Whoosh!
A transportation array appeared in the corner of Yellow Sand City. Very quickly, four figures walked out. They were the Four Rivers Sacred Ground's Sect Leader Liu Wen, the two elders, and Lu An.
This was Lu An's second time entering the Ten Thousand Desert. It was also his first time coming to such a deep place. Even the Divine Monarch Religion's headquarters wasn't this deep. Otherwise, Tan Xingbang wouldn't have been able to bring his daughter to find Lu An.
Although Lu An was hiding his strength and couldn't release his aura, his divine senses were enough to cover the entire Yellow Sand City. The buildings in Yellow Sand City were very crude and simple. It was like an earthen building. However, the people here didn't care about this. Furthermore, this place was really like a city. There was everything everywhere.
The place the Sect Leader was asked to go to was 50 kilometers north of Yellow Sand City. Even for the two elders, it wasn't too far. It wasn't noon yet. There was still a long way to go before the sky turned dark. There was plenty of time.
However …
Lu An turned to look at Liu Wen. From the other party's serious expression, he could tell that Liu Wen really cared about his disciple.
"Sect Leader, there might be spies in Yellow Sand City. It's still early before the sky turns dark. Why don't we scout for information first?" One of the elders suggested.
"No!" Liu Wen frowned and said in a deep voice, "Life is more important. We must set off immediately. We cannot delay!"
