Wait a minute, where is my master?

Mei Shouyi heard the message, and his expression instantly stiffened.

He looked somewhat helplessly at the Little Purple Spirit Elephant at his feet, shook his head, sighed deeply, and then said with regret,

"Ah, it seems that Mei has misspoken. This little fellow indeed deserves some pity. However, I recall that the Purple Spirit Elephant Clan was quite a significant tribe in He State back in the day, though his parents..."

"Most likely, about eighty to ninety percent of his fellow tribespeople are no more, having suffered the same catastrophe as his parents."

Mei Shouyi's words were cut off mid-sentence by the Taoist's transmitted message.

"Uh..."

He opened his mouth and stood frozen in place, like a goose whose neck had been invisibly grasped.

Jin Xu, seeing him in this state, gently shook his head.

He added in an emotionless transmitted message.

"That disaster occurred just half an hour ago."

"..."

The utterly speechless Mr. Mei slapped his own jaw to close his gaping mouth.

Then, he silently lowered his head and from his sleeve, he took out three previously captured No-Talking Talismans, thought about it a bit, put one back, and slapped the remaining two onto his chest.

The now mute Mei Shouyi silently walked away.

Meanwhile, Jin Xu, watching his retreating figure, pinched the bridge of his nose helplessly and then crouched down, gently patting the long trunk of the Little Purple Spirit Elephant as a gesture of comfort.

After that, he stared into its eyes and spoke seriously,

"I know you should be able to understand human speech, right?

"So now I have a question for you. If the person who committed evils in your tribal land had the chance to stand before you again, would you want to personally seek revenge?"

The young Taoist had feared that such a quick reminder of past events might cause psychological trauma to this three-meter-tall "little thing." He had planned to consult with his own Husky before speaking.

But Mr. Mei's tactless mouth had already fully exposed those two emotionally charged words directly to everyone.

Seeing that the Little Purple Spirit Elephant seemed alright, the young Taoist did not wait for Little White and directly asked the question.

The Little Purple Spirit Elephant kneeling on the ground flashed a look of confusion in its eyes.

In the Demon Realm, it had already learned from those two beautiful sisters that the main perpetrator who had slaughtered its kin had been punished.

But now, why had this man, who looked as if a banished immortal had descended to earth, asked her such a strange question?

"If you harbor such thoughts, swing your trunk to the left, and I will take you to exact revenge personally.

"If you don't have such thoughts and no longer want to recall a single detail of that event, then swing your trunk to the right. I promise that no one will ever bring up this sad matter in front of you again," Jin Xu continued earnestly.

The Little Purple Spirit Elephant remained dazed for a moment.

It suddenly recalled the scene where its father appeared with a face full of blood; the scene where its mother advanced worriedly but turned into bones; and the sight of its homely and vibrant tribal land falling deathly silent as it crawled out of the ravine.

Subsequently,

Unable to control the tears welling up in its eyes, it firmly swung its long trunk to the left.

Seeing the decision it had made,

Jin Xu placed his hand gently on its forehead, speaking earnestly,

"Good, once Little White awakens, I will take you to seek revenge personally."

Then, he stood up and walked toward the Ancestor of the Immortal Palace, saying,

"Senior Chi, once my companion awakens, I would trouble you to lead the way to the Demon Lord's sealed location."

"It's no trouble at all. Not far from my sect, there is a large city constructed for sorting various matters. When the time comes, we will travel from within the Teleportation Array in Shangjing City, needing only to make two transfers to reach that city," the Ancestor replied.

The Ancestor of the Immortal Palace stroked his long beard, and although his expression was calm, his heart was subtly excited.

The Demon Lord was sealed, but his indestructible nature was particularly worrying.

After all, there was only so long one can be a thief, but not forever to guard against one. Now that the Taoist with exceptionally high cultivation strength was willing to act, he could eradicate this major worry of the Nine Provinces Realm once and for all.

Then, when it was time for him to ascend to the Upper Realm, he could leave with peace of mind.

"Transmission Array?"

Jin Xu sharply caught these four words from the mouth of the Ancestor and hesitated before repeating them.

"What is it, Jin Taoist? Do you have any doubts about it?"

"Cough, I don't have doubts. However, it seems that the Transmission Array might not be quite suitable for me to ride."

As the Taoist spoke, the image of the ancient transmission array leading to the Mountain and Sea Realm in the Colorful Secret Realm automatically emerged in his mind.

"That thing was directly destroyed last time. If the same scene occurs when I use the Transmission Array to Shangjing City... Never mind, never mind, let's not trouble Miss Yunzhao."

With this thought in mind, Jin Xu continued, facing Senior Chi, whose face was full of confusion.

"Senior Chi, this is hard to explain. Just give me the address, and I will use my Escape Technique to fly over there when the time comes. As for the Transmission Array, you can ride it."

Although the Ancestor of the Immortal Palace was puzzled, since Jin Xu had said so, he obediently took out a jade slip marked with the address of Kunlun Immortal Palace from his storage treasure and handed it over.

About half a cup of tea's time passed.

Little White, who was sitting cross-legged, jumped up from the ground, his five fingers shaped like claws, and fiercely swung through the air.

"Bang!"

A massive sonic boom, accompanied by bursts of frosty chill, appeared simultaneously in the training ground.

After delivering this strike, Husky landed on his feet, refreshed, and howled joyously up at the sky before excitedly saying to Jin Xu.

"Temple Master, I've reached the eighth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, and soon I'll be able to advance to Refining Void!"

"Good, good. Since you are awake, let's go. We're off to handle some matters at Senior Chi's sect."

After delivering a couple of praises, the Taoist called over to Yaoer, who was conversing with Mr. Zhu about whether there were any talismans that could enhance the taste of dishes. As for Little Purple Spirit Elephant, he had already silently stood up when Little White shot into the sky and was now walking towards Jin Xu.

"Handle matters? Temple Master, didn't you say after returning the origin of the Demon Realm, we were going to West Pole Peak to discuss with the Purple Spirit Elephant Clan whether to adopt Little Zi into our temple?"

Husky dashed to the Taoist's side in a single bound, pulling on his robe in confusion.

"The matter you mentioned will be dealt with after we return; the current matter is more important."

"More important, what is it?"

"To avenge this little guy once again."

...

Miao State.

Within the forbidden area of the Kunlun Immortal Palace, at the site of the Demon Lord's seal.

A man with disheveled hair, covered in numerous scars, and appearing rather bedraggled, was suspended in midair by several bright silver chains.

He had been maintaining this bowed head position for an unknown period.

Normally, even if there were attacks from within the prohibition, the Demon Lord would just circulate his Spiritual Power to resist, but he wouldn't change his posture.

However, today.

His drooping neck suddenly lifted, and on that filthy face, yet with a distinctly bright gaze, suddenly flashed a look of confusion and incomprehension.

"Strange, why do I feel a sudden premonition of impending disaster?

"I'm already in such a miserable state, could it possibly get any worse?"
