Should I ever cross paths with her again, I absolutely cannot allow Wan Huaruo to slip away.
Yet right now, amid this immense cosmos, with him settled in the Earth Spirit Hall, how could he possibly track down Wan Huaruo? It's likely she departed the Nine Dragons World ages ago after their previous separation, leaving him clueless about her location.
"I’ve scoured countless ancient texts, yet rarely come across descriptions fitting this enormous egg. Still, it stirs a strange sense of familiarity in me, almost like an instrument the Spirit God Race employs to nurture Asuras..." Yang Chen whispered to himself.
His confusion only deepened.
While deep in thought, abruptly, yet another voice transmission talisman arrived from beyond the entrance.
Yang Chen instinctively assumed it came from someone akin to Hu Kui, arriving with intentions to recruit him.
Yet upon grasping the voice transmission talisman, he discovered it was from this extraordinary individual instead.
Tension gripped Yang Chen, prompting him to swiftly unseal the Cave Mansion's door.
Once the entrance swung open, a handful of bodyguards trailed closely, escorting the elder straight inside.
The elder in question turned out to be Wan Tianyu himself.
Wan Tianyu entered with hands clasped behind, his features etched with gravity.
"Sir Wan, welcome to Brother Yang Chen’s Cave Mansion." The bodyguards smiled broadly, pondering just what sort of figure Yang Chen must be—barely settled in, and already drawing a personal visit from Wan Tianyu.
Witnessing Wan Tianyu's approach, Yang Chen felt a surge of surprise: "Elder Wan, what's the purpose of this visit...?"
"All of you, withdraw for now. I need to discuss matters privately with Brother Yang Chen." Wan Tianyu commanded.
The bodyguards, of course, wouldn't defy him and departed promptly one by one.
With the bodyguards gone, Wan Tianyu settled into a seat with ease and remarked, "Yang Chen, I overlooked you earlier and never imagined you'd manage affairs on my behalf. But then I stumbled upon certain intelligence. Astonishingly, you've cleared every possible mission in the Spirit Fire World, even dissolving the Gates of Life and Death."
"How did you learn of it?" Yang Chen exclaimed in shock.
The information had circulated with such speed that it truly caught him off guard.
Wan Tianyu replied sternly, "No need to concern yourself with my sources. As someone tied to the Spirit Fire World, it'd be odd if this old man remained ignorant of such a monumental event."
Unable to refute, Yang Chen conceded, "You're right."
"I can't fathom the techniques you employed, but in hindsight, I clearly undervalued you. Let's set that aside, though. Yang Chen, the detail that intrigues me most is one you undoubtedly grasp well. After tackling the Spirit Fire World’s missions successively, what of my daughter's location?" Wan Tianyu's voice grew weighty, laced with profound gravity.
From Wan Tianyu's demeanor, Yang Chen discerned his deep concern, evidenced at least by how he'd hurried over upon hearing the news.
Yang Chen explained, "Elder Wan, as a junior, I was eager to fulfill this mission too. In the end, wrapping up the entire Spirit Fire World quest line only netted me slightly more than ten thousand Jiyu Essences—far less rewarding than locating your daughter. That said, I truly uncovered no trace of her in the Spirit Fire World. More accurately, she's no longer present there."
"What? Explain yourself!" Wan Tianyu's eyes widened in alarm.
Yang Chen relayed every detail gleaned from the soul search, holding nothing back.
As he absorbed the account, Wan Tianyu trembled violently, "This! Why was my daughter singled out and banished from this realm? What's behind it all?!"
Yang Chen merely shook his head, "I have no idea."
Wan Tianyu ground his teeth, fury blazing within.
"Why hold back this revelation from me sooner, forcing me to seek you out?" Wan Tianyu demanded.
Confronted by Wan Tianyu's chilling presence and oppressive might, Yang Chen flinched briefly. Knowing the ire wasn't aimed at him, he hastened to calm the elder, "Please don't fret, sir. I delayed informing you because I intended to see this mission through completely. Should your daughter elude us in the Spirit Fire World, we'll extend the hunt to additional realms. Based on the soul search findings, at least, she holds value to the Netherworld, making an untimely demise improbable."
Yang Chen's assurance caused Wan Tianyu to quiver, a wry grin forming as he appeared to age years in moments.
"You speak wisely. If she's absent from the Spirit Fire World, other realms await our search. It's merely that this old man flares up too readily. Still, the Netherworld Universe sprawls endlessly—locating my daughter won't be simple!" Wan Tianyu seemed utterly powerless.
Sensing the elder's profound attachment to his child, Yang Chen encouraged, "Elder Wan, hold onto your resolve; even a faint spark of possibility merits the chase."
"Your commitment here validates my coming today. Though you're after Jiyu Essence as well, it eases my mind greatly. Yang Chen, I won't skimp on your compensation. This quest spans beyond the Spirit Fire World into further domains. Should you locate my daughter, I'll boost your Jiyu Essence payout. Furthermore, feel free to approach this old man anytime for aid henceforth. And if you truly retrieve her, beyond the Jiyu Essence, I'll owe you a personal debt!" Wan Tianyu declared with utmost earnestness.
Realizing Wan Tianyu's direct nature from this, Yang Chen responded, "My gratitude, Elder Wan."
"Save your thanks; it's only your due." With the exchange concluded, Wan Tianyu departed without a backward glance.
Mere moments after Wan Tianyu's exit, the bodyguards hadn't strayed distant. They reentered Yang Chen’s Cave Mansion shortly thereafter.
"What might you fellow Daoists intend here...?" Yang Chen inquired.
"Brother Yang Chen, a handful of low-tier Merit Daoists linger beyond Dragon Pattern Mountain, seeking an audience. Shall we summon them?" The bodyguards queried.
At these words, Yang Chen paused in surprise before grasping their aim.
He was already aware of these visitors' identities.
"Have them linger outside for a couple of days." Yang Chen directed.
The bodyguards offered no further comment and withdrew swiftly.
After two days of meditation, Yang Chen emerged from the Cave Mansion. Reaching the Dragon Pattern River vicinity, he spotted a group across the shoreline without delay.
They were precisely the ones he'd anticipated—Mo Wenfeng and Lu Tao.
These days, Mo Wenfeng and Lu Tao approached Yang Chen with utmost deference, beaming amiably and avoiding any hint of impropriety.
Observing their conduct, Yang Chen positioned himself with hands folded behind, eyes locked on Mo Wenfeng, and queried, "Mo Daoist Friend, to what do I owe this visit?"
Mo Wenfeng flushed with unease, pausing briefly, "Frankly, we seek to share in Brother Yang Chen’s prestige and inquire if we might dwell in your Cave Mansion. Naturally, we'd never impose without cost. On the Jiyu Essence front, we'll contribute as much as possible."
Such arrangements were tacit customs; numerous cultivators followed suit, tendering Jiyu Essence to occupy residences of superior Merit cultivators atop Dragon Pattern Mountain, thereby securing alliances and tranquility.
