Chapter 156 The passage was actually...
"Also, don't mess around with the things in the Demon God Palace. If someone finds out and reports it to the elders, it'll be terrible."
Seeing that Shi Beiqing was very serious, Yun Zhao quickly said, "Sister Beiqing, I'm just doing some research and taking a break."
"I've rested enough, I'm going to continue the search."
Shi Beiqing nodded. "Go."
Yun Zhao wandered aimlessly, ignoring the occasional flash of the jade pendant.
Monsters might be hiding in any nook or cranny here, so they need to be extra careful. Yun Zhao encountered a monster that looked like a broom; the little thing was quite unique.
Seeing that the broom demon was only focused on escaping and had no intention of harming her, Yun Zhao didn't make a move. The broom demon was running too fast and tripped over a pebble, almost falling over. Yun Zhao saw this and couldn't help but laugh.
To everyone's surprise, the broom monster seemed to have eyes in the back of its head. It turned around, glared at her, and then forcefully crushed the pebble that had tripped it into powder.
"This little broom has quite a temper."
Yun Zhao muttered to himself.
Not knowing what the broom demon meant, it turned around again, and this time, Yun Zhao felt its anger.
Yun Zhao asked in confusion, "What do you mean? Can't you speak like a human being?"
Broom Monster: "..."
If I could speak human language, I wouldn't be a monster!
It stormed off in a huff.
Yun Zhao, unaware of what was going on, took two steps and then suddenly stopped.
She took out the magic pen she had obtained in Lingxu Town, and upon closer inspection, she understood.
It turns out that the monster wasn't a broom, but a calligraphy brush. No wonder she was angry; she had mistaken the species for something else.
Just as she was about to put the magic brush away, the white light from the jade pendant suddenly became frighteningly bright, catching her attention.
"It's so bright, could the passage be nearby?"
etc--
Yun Zhao looked at the magic brush in his hand.
She had a bold guess: could the passage be... a magic pen?!
To verify this, Yun Zhao conducted an experiment. She put the magic pen into her storage bag and then checked the jade pendant; the light had disappeared.
When taken out again, the light came on again.
Yun Zhao murmured, "Really..."
How could the passage between the human and demon realms be located in the Spirit Void Secret Realm?
Also, if the magic pen is a channel, how do you open the channel?
Yun Zhao tried drawing in the void with a pen, and then on paper and blank talisman paper, but nothing appeared, let alone a passage.
She didn't give up and tried to draw everything she could, but unfortunately, she got nothing.
Yun Zhao was discouraged. Seeing that it was getting late, she put away her magic brush and turned to find the main group.
After searching for another half month, everyone came up empty-handed. They had reached their limit of time there and had no choice but to leave.
On the way back, many people sighed and lamented that they had come all this way and gained nothing, and had even lost a lot of magical artifacts.
Indeed, the bottomless abyss of demons is barren, devoid of any vegetation, let alone demonic plants.
Although monsters are ferocious, you can't capture them alive, and even if you do, you can't take them out.
All I can say is that this trip was a losing proposition.
"Hey, stop sighing. Compared to those who lost their lives and those who crushed their jade tokens to be sent back, we are much luckier."
These words brought a strange sense of comfort to many.
This is barely a consolation.
The atmosphere in the group was heavy. Shi Beiqing walked forward without saying a word, while Shi Tianyu followed closely behind her, talking to her as if to comfort her.
The woman Qinniang, whom Yun Zhao had saved, was also listless, wiping her eyes from time to time.
Yun Zhao sighed, but ultimately said nothing.
She wanted to wipe away her tears. She had finally found the "passage" but didn't know how to open it. Wasn't she just sitting on a mountain of treasures, unable to use the wealth inside?
"I wonder how Ayan is doing. Judging by the time, he should be coming to see me soon..."
The Demon Realm and Demon Palace.
Qi Yan looked at the empty dark room and felt terrible.
No, he's only been gone for a little over a month. Where is his wife?!
Qi Yan thought that someone had taken Yun Zhao away, so he asked Qi Lin to send people to look for her. However, they searched all over the Demon Palace and Wushang City but could not find any trace of Yun Zhao.
“Ancestor,” Qi Lin guessed, “did Grandmother go out on her own? After all, there are guards in the Demon Palace. If someone takes Grandmother away, she will definitely resist.”
“Any fighting will make noise, and the guards will hear it.”
Qi Yan frowned. "Going out by yourself? Where will Zhao Zhao go?"
He sent a message to Bai Lingxiao, but Bai Lingxiao said that Yun Zhao was not with her. He then sent messages to everyone Yun Zhao knew, but without exception, there was no news of Yun Zhao.
Mu Qianqian was so anxious that she asked Qi Yan what had happened through the communication talisman, but Qi Yan knew nothing about it either. Mu Qianqian was so angry that she sent him ten messages in a row to scold him.
Qi Yan didn't say anything and let her scold him, but now that things had come to this, scolding him was useless. Mu Qianqian thought for a moment and went straight to her master Hanyue Zhenren's secluded cultivation room.
"Master, I have urgent news to report. It concerns Junior Sister Zhao Zhao. Please, Master, come out of seclusion!"
Mu Qianqian sent a message talisman to Hanyue Zhenren and waited for her at the door. She dared not force her way in, fearing that Hanyue Zhenren might be disturbed at a crucial moment and suffer a qi deviation.
She could only pray that the Cold Moon Immortal would see the message and emerge from seclusion soon.
Fortunately, Master Hanyue had already finished her cultivation and was consolidating her power. As soon as the communication talisman trembled, she probed it with her divine sense.
This was a message she left for her disciple, Qianqian, who was not to be disturbed unless it was urgent. Since a message had been sent, it must be something extremely urgent.
Master Hanyue's expression changed, and he immediately strode out of the secluded cultivation room.
Upon seeing Hanyue Zhenren, Mu Qianqian's eyes lit up, and she quickly and concisely explained the situation to her. Hanyue Zhenren paused for a moment after hearing this.
"You're saying Zhao Zhao disappeared in a secret chamber of the Demon Palace?"
Mu Qianqian nodded, "That's what Qi Yan said. He also said that he couldn't rule out the possibility that Zhao Zhao went out on her own or was taken away by someone."
Master Hanyue's expression was solemn. "Yes, I understand. Qianqian, you should go back now."
Mu Qianqian refused: "Master, are you going to find Zhaozhao? I'll go too, the more people there are, the sooner we might find Zhaozhao!"
“Listen to me,” Master Hanyue sighed. “Master knows where Zhaozhao is. Don’t worry, she will be safe. Master will go and tell the sect leader to bring her back immediately.”
Mu Qianqian was skeptical, but she always believed Han Yue Zhenren's words unconditionally.
After she left, Master Hanyue's face returned to its cold expression, and he flew towards the main peak on his sword.
"Han Yue, are you going out? Why?"
Master Guiyuan disagreed, saying, "The demon realm recently withdrew the demons who were hiding among the humans, but no one knows what they will do next. As one of the peak masters, you should stay and protect the Qingyun Sect."
Bai Lingxiao's expression was icy. "Sect Master, I have to go out. With you all guarding the sect, it's very safe."
Master Guiyuan sighed, "Then you must explain why. How am I supposed to explain to the other peak masters that you've gone out without a reason?"
