Futian raised his cup, but he said, "I can drink, but whether to join the Underground Alliance I still need to ask my new master. I want to hear his opinion."
What? Nantian and Nantian both widened their eyes. Futian has taken on a new master? Could he be joking?
Futian, however, said normally, "What are you looking at? Is it strange to take on a master? I'm still young and have plenty of time to live, so taking a master to improve myself isn't strange at all, right?"
Yes, yes, yes! Both Nantian and Nantian felt a jolt in their hearts. They suddenly realized they were still young too; why couldn't they work hard and learn like Futian?
A rumbling sound echoed underground. Wood Old Ghost, Helian the Old Thief, and Flower Girl were all shocked. They felt an overwhelming force of Great Power spreading out.
At the same time, Angered Heaven, Wuma Xiangwei, Ouyang Shaohua, Carefree Traveler, Western Celestial Law Ancestor, Gao Yuxin, and Lan Xuelei all received a mental message: the life force of Guan Yue had completely vanished!
This message was like a bolt from the blue, leaving them all stunned.
The most affected was Guan Tian. He clearly sensed that Guan Yue's life force had completely disappeared. Guan Tian was taken aback; he wanted to immediately determine where Guan Yue was and rush over to see what had happened.
Since Guan Tian had already left Guan Yue's main body, and as Guan Yue had broken through to the Minor Saint Realm, while Guan Tian remained in the Supreme Realm of Constant State, it would take him quite some time to fly to where the incident occurred. However, Guan Tian was determined; no matter how long it took, he would go see what had happened. With Guan Yue now possessing Ultimate Light, he wouldn't die!
Angered Heaven also wanted to find out the reason but could not sense the location of the incident.
Ouyang Shaohua, Lan Xuelei, and Gao Yuxin were at a loss for what to do. Their first thought was of Guan Tian, wanting to ask him about Guan Yue's current situation, but since Guan Tian had already flown away, they couldn't even find him.
Ouyang Shaohua decided not to spread this news any further; everything would wait until Guan Tian returned. With tears in her eyes, Lan Xuelei had no words to say, while Gao Yuxin continued to refuse to believe that Guan Yue could fall.
Meanwhile, the Western Celestial Law Ancestor remained unmoved, sitting like a statue as he quietly sensed the movements around him.
The three of them—Wood Old Ghost, along with his companions—waited silently for the rumbling to pass. The energy contained within that sound was something they could not contend with; they could only endure it.
After a long time, the three finally snapped out of their shock and resumed digging. However, unexpectedly, they found that this patch of soil had completely lost its spiritual essence; when they dug down, they went several hundred feet deep without encountering anything.
The three of them quickly dug a few times, and it was completely different from before. Now the soil had turned into real dirt, making it very easy to dig.
Suddenly, various thoughts appeared in their minds.
"Could it be that thing has already flown away?"
"No, it's likely that the person who was just beside us has taken it first."
"Regardless, let's dig over and take a look."
With a reminder from Wood Old Ghost, the three immediately stopped their fantasies and quickly worked together to dig forward. Before long, they saw a multitude of dazzling Golden Jade.
None of the three old friends had ever seen so much Golden Jade before, and they began to frantically snatch it. After two days of competition, they finally uncovered a small space in front of them, while the other side's Vermilion Jade had already been completely excavated by someone else!
All they could see was a small space surrounded by Golden Jade, where a tiny baby lay. The baby was chubby and full of flesh, waving its arms and legs, laughing heartily with a clear, bell-like laughter that was truly endearing.
Hua stepped forward and quickly held the baby in her arms, utterly delighted. Wood Old Ghost and Helian the Old Thief hurriedly gathered all the remaining Golden Jade. Then the three quickly headed towards the Mu Family's residence.
Wood Old Ghost laughed and said, "I wonder if the person who dug up the Vermilion Jade took that sound away while we struck it rich. With billions worth of Golden Jade, we can do so much for our Holy Alliance. This child might be exactly what we were looking for. Haha, heaven has not forsaken me; my wishes have finally come true."
"You fool. Do you think I'm going to give away all this Vermilion Jade? I at least want to keep half. The rest you can squander," Helian immediately stated.
Hua also said, "I've put in so much effort; I want to keep half too."
Wood Old Ghost could only smile wryly and said, "Alright then, let's each keep half. Hua can take care of this child first; he might have some peculiarities, so she must be careful. It's best to set up enough formations around him to prevent him from escaping. We'll settle accounts when he can talk."
Helian the Old Thief chuckled bitterly and said, "Wait until he grows up? That might take tens of thousands of years. We’ll have to wait slowly, but I can't wait that long."
"I never expected this would turn out like this; we just have to wait. But I like this little guy; I'll take care of him," Hua said as she handed over half of the Golden Jade and then walked away with the chubby little one.
Helian the Old Thief also took out half of the Golden Jade before leaving.
Wood Old Ghost saw so much Golden Jade and thought to himself that he had only taken out a quarter, while the remaining three-quarters of Vermilion Jade were taken to his Mu Family. He sighed inwardly, "The Mu Family still contributes the most."
Most of the Golden Jade submitted by the other three was still controlled by the Mu Family, with only a small portion used for cultivating other talents.
Guan Tian had been flying for a while when he faintly sensed Guan Yue's presence. Although it was very weak, he could confirm that Guan Yue had not perished. Moreover, as Guan Yue's aura was moving, Guan Tian could not pinpoint his exact location.
Guan Tian had no choice but to quietly hover in the air, carefully searching for the direction from which Guan Yue's life force was coming. After a day, he finally confirmed that Guan Yue had now reached the Mu Family!
Regarding the Mu Family, Guan Tian had no way to approach them; he could only turn back and think of another method. He could feel that Guan Yue's life force was growing stronger, indicating he was not in any life-threatening danger.
Ouyang Shaohua, Huangfu Jiayin, Lan Xuelei, Naijia, Jin Xi, Na Dong, Na Xi, Blue Snowy, and Wuma Xiangwei were all gathered together with worried expressions. They had no idea how to cope without Guan Yue; he was their soul. Witch Horse felt particularly frustrated; she had come specifically to find Guan Yue to propose marriage but encountered such an unexpected situation.
They felt listless in everything they did, experiencing a sense of despair.
At that moment, Gao Yuxin rushed in and shouted loudly, "Sisters! I sensed it—Guan Yue is alive! He did not die!"
Ouyang Shaohua and Lan Xuelei both exclaimed in unison and quickly pulled Gao Yuxin in front of them with tense expressions. "Quickly explain! What happened to Guan Yue?"
Gao Yuxin understood everyone’s concern for Guan Yue and did not hold a grudge against Ouyang Shaohua for her impulsiveness; normally, this spoiled woman would retaliate.
Seeing her sisters' anxious gazes fixed on her, Gao Yuxin knew she couldn't delay any longer and hurriedly said, "Guan Yue is alive. He has come back to life and is currently recovering. I have a mental connection with him; he is definitely alive now, just with a weaker life force."
Guan Yue being alive finally relieved everyone’s worries. However, his weak life force weighed heavily on the hearts of the young women.
Ouyang Shaohua and Lan Xuelei immediately asked in unison, "Can you determine his current location?"
"I can't," Gao Yuxin replied immediately.
Just as they were talking, Jin Xi called out, "Han Tian is back."
With a rush, all the women immediately flew towards Guan Tian. They could sense Guan Tian's aura.
Seeing the women gather around him, Guan Tian quickly reassured them, "Don't worry, Guan Yue is fine. His life force is getting stronger, so he is definitely alive. However, he has already reached the Mu Family, and I cannot enter there yet. We need to discuss this matter together. Shall we go find the Western Celestial Law Ancestor?"
Guan Tian did not stop, and everyone paid no mind. After hearing his words, the women felt much more at ease. But now that Guan Yue was in the Mu Family, they indeed needed to find a way to rescue him. So the women followed Guan Tian as they flew towards the residence of the Western Celestial Law Ancestor.
The Western Celestial Law Ancestor was currently living with Ruyi Girl. He had a furrowed brow and a puzzled expression when he suddenly sensed that a group was flying towards them. He smiled at Ruyi Girl and said, "It seems that Guan Yue hasn't clearly communicated his whereabouts to them, causing everyone to worry about him."
"Guan Yue has his own matters to attend to, but it's understandable that everyone is concerned for him. Only through experience can one become accustomed," Ruyi Girl replied with a wry smile. She herself had taken tens of thousands of years to find the Western Celestial Law Ancestor, but she did not wish for others to share her troubled fate!
Ouyang Shaohua, Lan Xuelei, Jin Xi, and Guan Tian entered the residence of the Western Celestial Law Ancestor first, followed by others arriving one after another.
Guan Tian spoke up first, "Senior Western Celestial Law Ancestor, Guan Yue has fallen into the hands of the Mu Family; we must find a way to rescue him."
Ruyi Girl invited everyone to take their seats. The Western Celestial Law Ancestor then asked, "I have been keeping an eye on Guan Yue's situation. First, may I ask if anyone knows why Guan Yue went out this time?" Huangfu Jiayin immediately answered, "He mentioned before leaving that he was going to Snowy Luo Peak to compete with three old friends. I didn't catch everything he said before he left."
"Oh, now I understand; Guan Yue must have gone underground at Snowy Luo Peak to dig for treasure," Ruyi Girl realized.
The Western Celestial Law Ancestor said curiously, "Currently, Guan Yue can be considered the safest person in Yongning Continent. No force can eliminate him. Even if he stands there and lets others attack him, there would be no threat of death. If there were any energy that could pose a danger to him... wait—no... yes! Only Source Power! Could it be that he encountered the source of Yongning Continent?"
