After three years of seclusion, he returned, handsome and invincible!

Ye Yuan fell into deep thought after hearing this.

According to Su Yixue, Master Gu Xuan's cultivation has reached the pinnacle of the Heavenly Venerate, half a step to the heaven-defying level, so it should not be dangerous for him to act alone.

but……

Why hasn't he returned yet?

"When she went to the Far North, did she say how long it would take her to come back?"

"Because she had never been to the Far North, she didn't give me an exact time. She only said it could take as little as half a month or as much as a year."

Su Yixue paused and continued, "If she doesn't come back in a year, let me stay in this bamboo sea and don't go out until I reach the heaven-defying level, and then go to the extreme north to look for her."

Ye Yuan nodded.

She knew that Gu Xuan was also thinking about Su Yixue.

If she, who was at the half-step-to-heaven-defying level, was trapped in the Far North, then with Su Yixue's current level of cultivation, it would be like a futile attempt even if she tried to find her way back there.

Only by reaching the heaven-defying level and becoming the world's top practitioner can one avoid repeating her mistakes.

"I was originally planning to listen to her and wait for her here, but now that you're here, why don't we go to the Far North to find her together?"

Su Yixue looked at Ye Yuan expectantly.

Ye Yuan fell into silence.

How could he not want to go to the Far North?

After all, whether it is his master Gu Xuan or his son whom he has never met, they can be regarded as one of the most important people to him.

but--

Thinking of the madly gathering underworld armies in the outside world, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"I'm afraid not now."

Ye Yuan sighed and told Su Yixue everything he saw when he came to the Endless Bamboo Sea.

Su Yixue also frowned when she heard this: "Are you suspecting that they are gathering an army to prepare for war with the Yang Realm?"

"This is just my suspicion, I can't be sure yet."

Ye Yuan looked at her solemnly and continued, "What we need to do next is to go out and find out what their purpose is. If they really want to attack the Yang Realm, we must try to pass this news back so that the seniors in Tianzun Village can be prepared."

Su Yixue nodded vigorously upon hearing this.

Although she also wanted to see her son earlier, she knew clearly which was more important, this or the safety of the entire Yang world.

"Shall we go out now?"

She asked, looking at Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan nodded, glanced at the Soul-Breaking Flute's main body, the ancient bamboo, and asked, "Have you recovered all your roots?"

"of course."

A green light shines brightly above the ancient bamboo.

The next moment, countless green lights gushed out from the bamboo bodies, spreading throughout the entire bamboo sea like veins in an instant.

Swish!

All the green light was restrained, and the whole ancient bamboo rose from the ground, transformed into an emerald green bamboo flute in the air, and slowly fell into Su Yixue's hands.

The moment she got the bamboo flute, she held the flute in her right hand and gently drew a line in the air, drawing an emerald green rune that flew towards Ye Yuan's feet.

Swish!

The moment the rune sank under his feet, Ye Yuan felt as if he was helped by a god. The law of the rising earth in the endless bamboo sea was completely ineffective for him. When he took Su Yixue's hand and performed the technique of shrinking the earth into an inch and took a step forward, he came directly to the outside of the bamboo sea.

Looking back, although the laws were still lingering in the endless bamboo sea, they had long lost their effect on him.

Next, the two disguised themselves as corpse creatures from the underworld, crossed the void and appeared in various corners of the underworld, secretly investigating the recruitment of troops by various major forces.
