On the other side, Yin Lang and Chen Luo were still on their way back to Kunyuan Palace.
Yin Lang appeared calm, but his eyes were sowhat gloomy.
Seeing this, Chen Luo dared not speak much and could only follow silently, speculating in his heart about the origin of Yuan Ming.
What he didn't know was that at this mont, Yin Lang was actually communicating with the Jinwei Parrot inside the Spiritual Beast Bag.
"Are you sure that Vajra is at the level of a Level 5 Alchemist?" Yin Lang suddenly transmitted his voice.
"I am sure. Just now, with my Qi Observation Divine Ability, I observed this person. I found that he was hiding his cultivation level and is actually a mid-stage Returning Void Cultivator. Moreover, the fluctuations of the Fire Spirit on him are extrely agile, and his Fire Control Skills definitely reached the level of a Level 5 Alchemist. Even Dian Xiaosan you took to see last ti was just about the sa. This Vajra definitely has the ability to refine a fifth-grade elixir," the Jinwei Parrot said with certainty.
"His Fire Control Skills are similar to Dian Xiaosan's! When did such an Alchemist appear in the Eastern Sea? Is it possible this person is Dian Xiaosan in disguise?" Yin Lang frowned slightly.
"Absolutely impossible. This person's aura is completely different from Dian Xiaosan's. Dian Xiaosan cultivates the Green Wood Fla Technique of Qingxuan Platform, which primarily focuses on Wood and Fire attributes and naturally manifests the phenonon of wood creating fire. However, this Vajra's aura is more mixed, faintly forming a mixed hole state. The two are definitely not the sa person," the Jinwei Parrot replied.
"Oh, it seems your Qi Observation Divine Ability has improved a lot and you can already see through the characteristics of a cultivator's technique. Can you see which sect or school this Vajra belongs to?" Yin Lang's eyes lit up as he asked.
"This person's cultivation technique is very peculiar, I've never seen it before. But the fluctuation of his divine soul contains a trace of faith power, he should be a Soul Cultivator," the Jinwei Parrot thought for a mont and said.
"Being both a Soul Cultivator and an Alchemy Master, there shouldn't be such a person in the Eastern Sea, perhaps he ca from the Central Continent? But such a person perfectly fits my needs." Yin Lang nodded, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"Master, if you ask , it's better not to provoke him. Chen Luo's level has also t the requirents, let him refine the Thunder Origin Pill," the Jinwei Parrot advised against it.
"What else did you see? Why do I sense you fear that Vajra?" Yin Lang asked in surprise.
"Master, you didn't see it. The killing aura on this person is as thick as sludge, almost covering his aura. Recently, many cultivators must have died by his hands, and just now when conversing with you, he seed to have killing intent towards you!" the Jinwei Parrot swallowed and said.
"If that's the case, this person should have co to our Wuya Island to take refuge, perhaps having offended enemies outside and mistakenly thought I would capture him? Our Wuya Island has a transcendent position, every year many such people co over, no need to pay attention," Yin Lang was indifferent.
"Master, I still think it's more appropriate to let Chen Luo refine the elixir, he isn't that bad," the Jinwei Parrot continued to advise.
Yin Lang did not heed the Jinwei Parrot's advice. He took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, arranged so people to deliver the promised Spirit Stones, and simultaneously instructed them to covertly monitor Vajra's actions, but not to watch too closely to avoid offending him.
However, Yuan Ming's decisiveness was still beyond his expectations. By the ti the people he arranged arrived near Yuan Ming's room, only a short span of fifteen minutes had passed, yet the room was already empty without any sign of Yuan Ming.
His subordinates inquired with the owner of Tongju Pavilion and searched nearby but could not find him.
"It seems this person has escaped! Damn it, how dare he show such disrespect! Imdiately send soone to seal the island and search for his whereabouts!" At that mont, Yin Lang had just returned to his residence and received this report, his face darkened as he gave the order.
The subordinates hurriedly complied and quickly left.
Yin Lang furrowed his brow. This Vajra had escaped just like that. Could he really have caused so major disaster?
"Lord Yin, Island Master Ye is calling for you," at this mont, a servant walked in and respectfully said.
"The Island Master is out of retreat?" Yin Lang was sowhat surprised but dared not delay and hurried to et Ye Wuya.
When he arrived at the main hall of the island, he found he was the last to arrive. The other three Returning to Void Deputy Island Masters on the island were already present.
As for Island Master Ye Wuya, he was already seated at the head of the main hall.
Ye Wuya's appearance was handso, looking only about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, dressed in a dark green gown with bamboo patterns. His collar was slightly open, revealing baby-smooth skin, and a strand of black hair hung over his chest, adding a touch of ruffianism and free-spiritedness.
"Yin Lang pays respects to the Island Master!" Yin Lang saluted Ye Wuya.
"Sit down," Ye Wuya raised his hand and said indifferently.
Yin Lang took a seat on the left side. A#lway s r$ead. at the s-our$ce-—*&.
"Island Master, what has happened that we were summoned here so urgently?" asked a young man in black with a red belt around his waist sitting next to Yin Lang, looking up at the upper position.
This person was Yang Qing, the youngest Returning Void cultivator on Wuya Island, with exceptional aptitude. He had recently joined Wuya Island, and his cultivation had reached mid-stage Returning Void.
However, Yang Qing's character was arrogant, and on the entire Wuya Island, he was not convinced by anyone but Ye Wuya.
"Dongji Palace has issued a decree, requiring us to comply. Those who disobey will be deed traitors," Ye Wuya slowly spoke.
"Has the Dongji Palace gone mad, issuing such an order! Does that woman want to start a war with our Wuya Island?" Yang Qing exclaid in surprise.
"What exactly do they want us to do?" asked a man dressed as a scholar, seated across from them.
The man's na was Xu Changyu. Despite his cultivation being just at the Early Stage of Returning to Void, he had been following Ye Wuya the longest and was extraordinarily shrewd, acting as Ye Wuya's most trusted advisor.
Seated next to Xu Changyu was a man dressed as an old farr nad Lu He, whose cultivation was second only to Ye Wuya, having reached the peak of the Middle-stage Returning Void. However, his appearance was rather ordinary, with an aged face full of wrinkles.
"We are to capture two individuals, one nad Yun Luo Fairy, at the peak of Returning to Void Late Stage, once a disciple of the Su Nu Sect, adept at Escape Skills and Illusion Techniques. The other is nad Yuan Ming, with a mid-stage Returning Void cultivation level, who also practices Soul Cultivation and Body Cultivation. He is a Level 5 Array Master with extrely advanced Fire Control Skills, possibly disguising as an Alchemist." Ye Wuya said as he flicked his fingers, sending four Jade Scrolls flying to Yin Lang and the others, containing more detailed information.
To capture Yuan Ming, Dongji Palace had put in significant effort, revealing almost all of its available intel, except it didn't ntion he possessed the Yan Emperor's legacy.
"I've heard of Yun Luo Fairy, the Island Master of Yunshan Island. But who is this Yuan Ming? Never heard of him. With such skills, is he really just a Loose Cultivator? And the background part about him is as if nothing has been said. Dongji Palace didn't manage to find anything either?" Xu Changyu said with a slight frown after reviewing the information.
"I'm more curious about what these two actually did. Ouyang Qiang isn't reckless. Spending such effort implies capturing these two is extrely important to her." Yang Qing chuckled and said.
"I'm still inquiring about it, but what's known is that Ouyang Qiang suffered a significant loss from them, even getting injured. Besides Dongji Palace, both Luo Jia Mountain and Azure Dragon Pond have issued similar bounties, all hunting for these two." Ye Wuya said.
"A joint bounty from three major forces? Do these two hold so great fortune? In that case, we might as well send soone to look," Xu Changyu speculated with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"The issue is how to search? The Dongji Sea is vast; there are countless places to hide. We can't all go out and search inch by inch, can we?" Lu He finally spoke.
The group fell into silence, lured by the temptation of the bounty from Dongji Palace but knowing locating these two wasn't an easy task.
Yin Lang stared at the Jade Scroll in his hand, montarily dazed.
The information about Yuan Ming described in the Jade Scroll matched seven or eight points with the "Vajra" they had just encountered. That person was unusually vigilant, as if they had committed so cri; it couldn't just be a coincidence, could it?
"Yin Lang, why do you have that expression? Do you perhaps have a lead?" Ye Wuya asked, noticing Yin Lang's expression.
The other three turned their attention to him upon hearing this.
"I think I might indeed have a lead here," Yin Lang hesitated before saying.
...
Half a month later.
Across the sea, Yuan Ming, having altered his appearance once more, traveled swiftly, flying toward an uninhabited island marked on his map without stopping for a mont.
Soon, a deserted island appeared in his view. Without any hesitation, his Divine Sense imdiately spread out, enveloping the island below.
The intelligence from Qingjin Building recorded the positions of three deserted islands. In the past half month, he had already visited one, which wasn't the island he was looking for, and now this was the second one.
Yuan Ming's face quickly showed disappointnt as the island before him also wasn't the one he was seeking.
Yuan Ming did not linger and continued flying toward the third island. Though he didn't hold much hope, he couldn't quite let it go without checking.
Seven or eight days later, he finally reached the third island, his eyes lighting up imdiately.
Ironically, the terrain of this island looked exactly like the one where Yun Luo Fairy was confined.
"This Qingjin Building does have so capability; they really found it," Yuan Ming thought happily as he quietly approached the island, spreading his Divine Sense.
However, his joy quickly turned to disappointnt.
At that mont, there wasn't any presence on the deserted island, and the location where Yun Luo Fairy had been held was long abandoned.
Yuan Ming frowned. Just five days ago, he had confird Yun Luo Fairy's location on this island through Black Incense Possession. Unexpectedly, right during the seven-day interval between possessions, her location changed.
And in the days he was traveling, Qingjin Building had sent him a few more locations of similar deserted islands via the Void Communication Array, but now there was no need to visit them.
Yuan Ming sighed and prepared to leave, planning to use the possession to confirm Yun Luo Fairy's location again in two days.
But suddenly, he sensed sothing and turned to look behind him before landing on the island. Activating the Transformation Stone Talisman, he imdiately beca an ordinary stone, standing still.
