Chapter 1729: Don't Mess Around, It's Great

The night in Ling Yu was peaceful and serene, bathed in the glow of stars and moonlight, with all sounds hushed as if the world's creatures were asleep.

Yet, in Qing Luan Xian Shan, one person was still hard at work. This nighttime escapade was quite enjoyable, and he hadn't forgotten how someone had crossed between realms just to court women. If he returned, Ming Di would surely be pleased.

"The more I look, the more beautiful you are."

"You have no pity for the fairer sex."

Qing Luan's cheeks were flushed.

As soon as Qing Luan finished speaking, a scolding voice rang out, coming from within her body.

More precisely, it came from the Di Bing inside her.

That voice belonged to Ye Chen, who used the connection between Di Bing to transmit his words, ignoring distances entirely.

This was all thanks to Ming Di, who had set up restrictions early on, so that Bai Zhi and Ming Jue could have support when they arrived in the domain.

"You bastard, don't cause trouble—I'm busy right now?"

"I'm not messing around; go find Qing Luan Laozu. There's an urgent matter to discuss."

"Immediately, right now."

"Do you have any sense at all?"

Ye Chen, who was in the small garden, was so frustrated he nearly jumped up and cursed.

"Come on, let's continue and ignore that guy. I just love ruining things for others."

On the other side, Ming Jue was full of enthusiasm, ready to proceed.

"What do you mean, continue?"

Qing Luan flipped over and kicked Ming Jue away with one foot.

She knew Ye Chen well—his urgent tone meant something serious was up.

Ming Jue clutched his head and got up, but Qing Luan had already vanished like the wind.

Instantly, his face turned completely dark.

What a great brother—first, Bai Zhi had tricked him out of his Di Qi, and now she was giving it to Qing Luan for a beating.

And now, Ye Chen had ruined a perfectly good moment in real time.

Well, that was just great; Qing Luan had left, leaving him standing there alone. How awkward was that?

By now, Qing Luan had arrived at the immortal mountain where Qing Luan Laozu resided.

Qing Luan Laozu, who was in meditation, was surprised and manifested her true form on the mountain peak.

"Laozu, Ye Chen is looking for you."

Qing Luan lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, and she quickly brought out the Di Bing to change the subject.

"Oh?"

Qing Luan Laozu stepped forward and stood before the Di Bing.

"Senior, there are Tian Mo in Ling Yu, and their numbers are extremely large."

Ye Chen got straight to the point.

"Tian Mo?"

Qing Luan Laozu's expression changed instantly.

She had heard of the Tian Mo's power—vast heavens and myriad domains had been reduced to mountains of corpses because of them, let alone their Ling Yu.

But she was puzzled—where had these Tian Mo in Ling Yu come from, how long had they been hiding, and what was their goal? It was hard to figure out.

"Senior, you need to step in and rally the forces from all sides to suppress them together."

Ye Chen continued, "We shouldn't make a big fuss about this to avoid alerting them. Keep it highly confidential—only those at the Laozu level are qualified to know. In three days, we'll wipe out the Tian Mo in one fell swoop."

"I will contact them right away."

Qing Luan Laozu acted swiftly and decisively, heading to the grand hall. She fully trusted Ye Chen's message—matters involving Tian Mo were no joke, and this was serious.

"Ling Yu actually has Tian Mo."

Qing Luan hurriedly turned and headed back to her own mountain peak.

Bai Zhi had also arrived, likely having heard the news, and she was full of fighting spirit.

Though she didn't have a Di Bing, she had a Zhun Di Bing, which could hold its own against a Da Sheng.

Ling Yu was nothing like Ming Jie, with no Zhizun overseeing it—they had to shoulder the burden themselves and not tarnish their master's legendary reputation.

The deep night remained calm, but the atmosphere had shifted.

Qing Luan Laozu was highly efficient—in the early hours before dawn, over a hundred forces' Laozu had arrived, covered in dust from their travels.

Upon hearing about the Tian Mo, each family's Laozu was visibly shocked.

They had only heard rumors of Tian Mo invading the heavens and had never seen them before. Now, learning of a Tian Mo army, how could they not be alarmed?

Thankfully, Ye Chen had uncovered this in advance; otherwise, if they were caught off guard one day, it would be disastrous, and annihilation was a real possibility.

Without delay, the various forces' Laozu departed, each making their preparations and secretly summoning powerful independent cultivators.

Tian Mo were common enemies—if Ling Yu was in trouble, everyone in Ling Yu had a responsibility. A major alliance was being organized quietly behind the scenes.

In the small garden, Ye Chen was still there, with a map spread out before him.

This map was no ordinary one—it covered the entire Ling Yu and had been found on a Tian Mo, an invaluable treasure.

He held a pen, marking points on the map.

Each mark on the map represented a Tian Mo location.

The densest area was at the center of Ling Yu, where there was a bottomless abyss that few dared to enter, hiding a massive Tian Mo army.

In warfare, knowing yourself and your enemy leads to victory in every battle.

The strategies of the mortal world applied just as well in the cultivator realm—don't strike unless you're sure, and when you do, make it thorough and leave no hidden threats.

"Take a break!"

Chu Ling Yu gently placed her hand on Ye Chen's back, channeling her essence. Because Ye Chen had been constantly deducing, he was suffering backlash, and blood had been trickling from his mouth nonstop.

"The sooner we find them, the sooner we can rest easy and minimize casualties."

Ye Chen wiped the blood from his mouth. "Once the Tian Mo are cleared, we'll head back to Zhu Tian."

"What about the reincarnated people?"

Chu Ling Er hesitated, wanting to go home but knowing there were many reincarnated people in Ling Yu from their homeland—she wanted to bring them back too.

"Let the other reincarnated people handle that search."

Ye Chen smiled. "I'll leave memory jade slips behind, so they can all find their way home one day."

"When will the world finally know peace?"

Chu Ling hugged Ye Chen from behind, pressing her cheek against his back. She was afraid—terrified that the heartbreak of their separation three hundred years ago would happen again, and that pain still brought tears to her eyes just thinking about it.

"That day will come."

Ye Chen laughed, his eyes full of warmth.

"Oh boy, did we come at a bad time?"

A sigh rang out as Ming Jue swaggered in, with Bai Zhi on his left and Qing Luan on his right—they had all arrived.

"You bastard."

Ye Chen cursed loudly, recalling last night's events, which still made him furious. Here he was, racking his brains over how to deal with the Tian Mo, and this guy was thinking about nothing but that.

"Then explain yourself clearly!"

Ming Jue shook his head smugly.

After being here for some time, his strength hadn't improved, but his shamelessness had reached new heights, rivaling Ye Chen's.

Qing Luan's cheeks flushed again as she lowered her head.

These past few days, they hadn't stopped—every night was a whirlwind, and even as cultivators, it was exhausting; she felt like her body was about to fall apart.

Sometimes she wondered, was she really that beautiful?

"Are these marks the Tian Mo positions?"

Compared to Ming Jue, Bai Zhi was more serious, scanning the massive map.

"Not all of them yet."

Ye Chen rubbed his head.

"So many, packed together like that?"

Ming Jue clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Probably even more, so we need to unite all sides in Ling Yu. Besides that, we'll have to borrow troops from Di Fu."

Ye Chen said.

"Then let's make it a total slaughter."

Ming Jue clenched his fist.
