Ye Qingshuang attempted to cross her Golden Core tribulation but intentionally met the lightning head-on, resulting in her death. Master Ziyue, who had prepared a tribulation-crossing array and seemingly acted as a mentor, revealed her true intentions. After ensuring Ye Qingshuang had no final instructions for her disciple, Li Chunxue, Master Ziyue captured Chunxue and departed, her cultivation having significantly advanced. She then pondered Ye Qingshuang's 'Dao evolvement' and the potential insights gained from her tribulation, ultimately destroying the Frost Centipedes.

Illusion Peak, Main Hall of the Peak.

As the current Peak Master of Illusion Peak, Liu Huan’s authority is not low, especially as his relationship with the Ye Family has always been excellent. With the Ye Family becoming increasingly important, Liu Huan’s status in Taiyi Sect has also risen again.

The dual breakthroughs in status and cultivation have made Liu Huan’s aura increasingly powerful.

Two female cultivators flew into the hall, and soon landed in front of Liu Huan.

"Junior Martial Uncle Liu, Senior Sister Ye failed her tribulation in the Chenyuan Realm and has already scattered her cultivation." The two female cultivators spoke with evident reservation.

Liu Huan’s gaze changed instantly upon hearing this.

"How could Junior Ye, she has an abnormal spirit root, and wasn’t there a sect array?" Liu Huan’s voice involuntarily rose.

This scene made the two female cultivators extremely nervous.

"Junior Martial Uncle Liu, Senior Sister Ye was handling the first few thunder tribulations well, but during the final one, it was as if she was possessed, somewhat overconfident..." the two disciples responded again.

"What about Junior Ye’s storage bag and relics, and did you bring the two Frost Centipedes, which are the Ye Family’s spirit beasts? Since Junior Ye failed her breakthrough, they ought to be returned to the Ye Family." Liu Huan promptly inquired about Ye Qingshuang’s remains, storage bag, and relics.

Yet, the two disciples hesitated and stammered, unable to provide a definitive answer.

In the end, they only said she and Master Ziyue disappeared together.

"Have you informed the Sect Leader? Notified the other peaks?" Liu Huan asked further.

Then he sent a transmission to Master Taihao.

Due to the Earth Immortal Realm incident, Taiyi Sect lost too many Golden Cores, with neither Illusion Peak, Master Xuan Dao, nor Master Tianzhen returning.

And Master Taihao, having broken through eighteen years ago, is now a Golden Core Cultivator.

Liu Huan and Master Taihao searched the Taichang Mountain Range for a long time, even summoning Fairy Linghong back. They searched the mountains for a long time, leaving only when they saw nothing.

Of course, after this matter, the entire Taichang Mountain Range became more cautious, no longer relaxing after Qinghe Sect and Celestial Corpse Sect’s retreat.

In front of Purple Extreme Hall, Taiyi Sect’s Golden Cores and Nascent Souls gathered once more. Compared to before, there were many unfamiliar faces in the hall.

Almost all of them were newly advanced Golden Cores, including Dharma Peak’s Wang Tianfa, who ventured into the Desolate Secret Realm alongside Liu Huan, and Purple Peak’s Chen Yunzi.

Yet, after approximately one hundred sixty years, everyone had matured considerably, showing no signs of the youthful innocence of the past.

Especially Chen Yunzi of Purple Peak, who, at this moment, stood in a corner, frowning.

Sikong Ziming and Sikong Zitian took most of Purple Peak’s Golden Cores to the Earth Immortal Realm. Now, with only him left, Purple Peak was the weakest of Taiyi’s Five Peaks. In contrast, Sword Peak, though True Master San Yuan did not return from the Earth Immortal Realm, still had three Golden Core True Masters.

Among them, Master Qinghe was in the Late Stage of Golden Core.

"Everyone, this matter serves as a warning. If cultivators can be abducted while undergoing tribulation in a mini world, which family would dare send their members to our Taiyi Sect in the future?" Fairy Linghong swept her gaze over everyone, her usually cold face now even more icy.

All Golden Cores lowered their heads at this moment.

Yet everyone felt somewhat aggrieved, as the matter was too bizarre.

"Sect Leader, this incident must have been infiltrated and staged long ago. I suggest using Purple Peak’s Purple Sun Mirror magical treasure to check everyone’s cultivation, appearance, and even have them repeat the Heavenly Dao oath," said Master Qinghe.

In his youth, Master Qinghe was also known as the Cyan Grain Sword Immortal, renowned in the Cultivation Realm of Yan Kingdom.

However, after breaking through the Golden Core, he became much more reserved, speaking up again now.

The others nodded in agreement.

As for Chen Yunzi of Purple Peak, he naturally did not object.

He took out the Tier Four magical treasure, the Purple Sun Mirror, allowing Fairy Linghong to employ it to inspect all Golden Cores in the Taichang Mountain Range.

Afterward, they gathered all the Purple Mansions of Taiyi Sect in Purple Extreme Hall.

Upon checking, indeed there were two Purple Mansions unaccounted for and mysteriously vanished.

Thus, Taiyi Sect began to strictly enforce sect regulations, making everyone apprehensive.

Meanwhile, at the teleportation array, Fairy Linghong was preparing to teleport to Lingyun Peak.

She was somewhat concerned that this was a diversion tactic by the Penglai Sect. After all, with such a commotion from the Ye Family, it would be strange for the Penglai Sect not to act.

"Master, these are some Frost Centipedes that Junior Ye gifted me."

"She said she wanted to repay a favor to the Ye Family with these young Frost Centipedes, but she was going into seclusion to break through and feared missing the Ye Family ceremony."

"But now it seems there’s no need to wait for the ceremony to gift them, as they are Junior Ye’s relics," Liu Huan took out a Spirit Beast Bag.

Fairy Linghong was somewhat surprised by this, and she asked meaningfully, "Did Qingshuang say anything else?"

"She didn’t say much. Before going into seclusion, she asked me about questions regarding cultivation, breaking through Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and even Divinity Transformation. But at that time, I didn’t know much, so I explained briefly."

"Junior Ye also told me that the Ye Family, before she joined Taiyi Sect, gifted her two highly potential Frost Centipedes," Liu Huan said.

She vaguely guessed something, but she did not look into the Spirit Beast Bag, only feeding the Frost Centipedes regularly.

"Yes, I’ll give it to Ye Daoist," Fairy Linghong said as she glanced at the Spirit Beast Bag.

As she was about to teleport, she added:

"These days, stay in seclusion at Illusion Peak. Don’t disclose your whereabouts to anyone. Delegate appropriate matters to Junior Taihao; his management skills are quite good."

After speaking, Fairy Linghong entered the teleportation array.

When the light fell again, Fairy Linghong appeared at Lingyun Peak.

At the teleportation array of Lingyun Peak, True Monarch Qingchen had already emerged from seclusion, and like Ye Jingcheng, both were paying close attention to the situation in the Taichang Mountain Range.

They were concerned that this was a diversion by Penglai.

"Qingshuang failed her tribulation," Fairy Linghong said.

Then she took out the Spirit Beast Bag left by Ye Qingshuang.

"This is the Spirit Beast Bag she left for Junior Liu, meant to be a gift for the Ye Family," Fairy Linghong handed over the Spirit Beast Bag directly.

Her Divine Sense did not enter.

Ye Jingcheng’s face showed slight sadness and grief.

He looked at the Spirit Beast Bag and found it was the same one the Ye Family had given her when she joined Taiyi Sect.

Inside the Spirit Beast Bag, there were six Frost Centipedes.

All were Tier Two Lower Grade Frost Centipedes, with talent quite exceptional among typical Spirit Insects.

The Treasure Book within Ye Jingcheng’s body also emitted a treasure light.

These Frost Centipedes could undergo two advancements.

However, what surprised Ye Jingcheng was that among the six Frost Centipedes, one was particularly small and insufficient in cold Qi.

It appeared underdeveloped.

This gave Ye Jingcheng pause, as this Frost Centipede, just like the others in front of the Treasure Book, had no visible issues.

This suggested that there was more than met the eye within this Frost Centipede!
