Li Yunjing confronts Ma Xingyuan about his intention to shirk responsibility amidst a crisis. He forces Ma Xingyuan to help gather resources for the sect. While preparing, they discover forbidden Netherworld Soul-Seeking Arrows, which Li Yunjing destroys. A disciple from the Holy Sound Sect arrives, summoning Li Yunjing to discuss urgent matters regarding an alliance conference with Feiyun Master at Feiyun Island. Li Yunjing departs with the gathered resources, leaving Ma Xingyuan to manage the handover.

"Earlier, I used Great Divine Techniques to exchange a few words with Feiyun Master."

She stood up and paced, the hem of her moon-white dress sweeping across the floor, "Things are indeed extremely urgent now."

No sooner had she spoken than a flash of spiritual light appeared outside the hall. Liao Wanqing rushed in, holding a red lacquered wooden box, her temples slightly disheveled, clearly having hurried all the way.

"Hierarch, the congratulatory gifts are ready."

She gently placed the box on the table and, upon lifting her gaze to look at Li Yunjing, a complex expression flickered in her eyes.

Saint Sound Fairy smiled faintly, opening the box herself, and amidst the radiant glow, a pair of Jade Ruyi engraved with the Dragon and Phoenix Auspicious motif slowly rose: "I’ve heard that Fellow Daoist Li’s good news with Ladies Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi is imminent, and though this pair of ’United Ruyi’ is not an unparalleled magical treasure, it can still serve as protection."

"Thank you, Hierarch! My personal matters have troubled the ’Holy Sound Sect’."

Li Yunjing was slightly taken aback, then clasped his hands in gratitude.

He wasn’t surprised that Saint Sound Fairy knew of this! After all, Feiyun Master would have mentioned it!

"However, I have an unreasonable request."

Saint Sound Fairy suddenly shifted the topic, looking at Liao Wanqing.

"Wanqing has never been to the Southern Heaven Continent; let her broaden her experience this time. Accompany you to the Southern Heaven Continent. Firstly, to assist you in alliance preparations; secondly..."

She paused, then chuckled lightly: "She can also gain some experience!"

Liao Wanqing immediately stepped forward, looking at Li Yunjing with a complicated expression, and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Li, rest assured, I’ll do as you arrange, and I won’t cause you any trouble."

Her gaze held a deep meaning, lingering slightly on Li Yunjing’s face before swiftly shifting away.

Li Yunjing was slightly moved, understanding that Liao Wanqing’s intention was not to interfere with his marriage to Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi, nor to meddle in their relationships.

That was quite clever of her!

Of course, if Liao Wanqing wanted to stir up trouble, she wouldn’t have a chance either.

Li Yunjing’s women obeyed him completely, and even if Liao Wanqing were to cause a disturbance, they would target her, not hold a grudge against him.

"Then I’ll trouble Fairy Liao."

The situation was urgent—this was no time to discuss other matters. Li Yunjing said no more, only added, "We’ll meet on the ’Celestial Patrol Ship’ later."

"Alright!"

Liao Wanqing nodded and stood together with Wen Bin, preparing to accompany Li Yunjing to see the Southern Heaven Continent.

Li Yunjing and the Saint Sound Hierarch discussed some details before he finally bid farewell and left.

When Li Yunjing and the others hurriedly arrived at Jade Marrow Pier, the ’Celestial Patrol Ship’ had already raised its defensive barrier. Ma Xingyuan was directing the crew to load the last batch of supplies into the hold.

"Master Li, my task is complete!"

Seeing Li Yunjing approaching with Liao Wanqing and Wen Bin, he looked relieved and said, "Everything that can be taken is here."

"Good! Let’s set off!"

Li Yunjing nodded and boarded the ’Celestial Patrol Ship’ with the crowd.

On board, of course, Xing’er and Yue’Er were in charge of accommodating everyone. The disciples of "Shenxiao Dao Sect", along with Ma Xingyuan, exchanged pleasantries and returned to their respective cabins.

Meanwhile, in the cockpit, were only Li Yunjing, Xing’er, Yue’Er, Wen Bin, and Liao Wanqing.

They were all familiar faces. Xing’er and Yue’Er had been in the East Sea for over twenty years, often watched over by Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing.

Everything was ready. Li Yunjing piloted the ’Celestial Patrol Ship’, slowly ascending and speeding towards the direction of the Southern Heaven Continent.

Only, Li Yunjing’s wish to return quickly seemed to have faded away!

After leaving the ’Holy Sound Sea Region’, a massive battleship obstructed the path of the ’Celestial Patrol Ship’.

Li Yunjing was initially startled, then quickly calmed down. He led the four of them out of the cabin and stood on the deck, looking across.

That colossal ship was one Li Yunjing knew all too well!

This was the "Shenxiao Battleship" of "Shenxiao Dao Sect"!

A Tier Four flagship!

The very war weapon of "Shenxiao Dao Sect" dominating the Southern Heaven Continent!

Presently, there was only one in the East Sea, the warship belonging to Master of Fiery Fire!

"That ancestor has not left yet?"

The sea breeze on the deck carried a salty aura. Li Yunjing gazed at the red flags fluttering fiercely on the opposing battleship, and his heart suddenly raced.

"My mother!"

The ’Celestial Patrol Ship’ came to a halt, alarming everyone. Ma Xingyuan wobbled to the ship’s bow, almost knocking over Fang Yuxuan with his rotund body, "Isn’t this Master of Fiery Fire’s ride? What is he doing here?"

On the deck of the "Shenxiao Battleship", flames erupted, and a fiery figure walked through the illusionary fire into the air.

Master of Fiery Fire’s black robe billowed as the crimson divine pattern flowed on his forehead. His gaze swept over Li Yunjing, intending to instruct him to handle certain matters.

But at that moment, he clearly saw the Vice Sect Leader Token at Li Yunjing’s waist. He was instantly stunned, seemingly rendered speechless, as if struck by the "Immobility Technique", floating motionless in mid-air.

"Li Yunjing pays respects to the Ancestor!"

Li Yunjing, however, did not hesitate, lifting the protective shield of the ’Celestial Patrol Ship’ and bowing slightly.

"The disciple greets the Ancestor!"

As for the other disciples of "Shenxiao Dao Sect", they dared not be negligent and all knelt to salute.

Even Wen Bin and Liao Wanqing beside them bent in respect.

"You brat, how come you have the ’Thunder Dragon Token’?"

With a whoosh, Master of Fiery Fire stepped onto the ’Celestial Patrol Ship’, examining it before turning his gaze swiftly to Li Yunjing, his eyes darting between the token hanging at his waist.

"And the ’Black Tortoise Order’? The ’White Tiger Order’?"

Before Li Yunjing could answer, Master of Fiery Fire jumped up, pointing at the two other tokens at Li Yunjing’s waist, stammering, "What is going on?"
