Going to a Place Where the Master Won't Go

Carefully, he opened the book once again.

He read the last few lines over and over, meticulously examining them countless times.

Trying to find where he had misunderstood or misinterpreted the information.

In the end, all he was left with were question marks swirling in his head, nothing more.

He suddenly jumped up, violently throwing the book to the ground and stomping on it.

"Damn this broken system sending me to the Immortal Realm! And I'm at the lowest level there too!" He was so angry he began jumping up and down on the book.

"What cosmic spiral watermelon-rind difference is there between me and the mortals here?!!!"

A series of rolling roars emanated from deep underground.

Outside the small island, the entire Immortal River Continent began to shake. An earth-shattering earthquake swept across in all directions.

Mountains crumbled, the earth split, and tidal waves surged.

...

...

Wu Yonghong and his two companions, who had just finished notifying the disciples and were leaving the small island to go shopping, were dizzied by the sudden quaking!

After barely managing to steady themselves, they exclaimed, "Quick, let's go check on the master!"

Upon entering the small island, they discovered that, surprisingly, it hadn't been affected at all.

After some thought, Wu Yonghong and the others still decided to report to Yi Feng.

They knocked on the door.

"Master?"

Inside, Yi Feng had already calmed down.

He sat with a gloomy expression, silent.

He raised his head and, without using his spiritual sense, could hear that it was Wu Yonghong's voice through the door.

This was perfect, as he had something to instruct them.

"Come in," he said, his voice deep and flat. "Tell those disciples not to return. From today onwards, I will be in seclusion."

"Yes, sir."

Wu Yonghong acknowledged.

"Is there anything else?"

"No, that's all."

"You may go."

"Yes, sir." Wu Yonghong and the others retreated.

Chu Kuangshi, following behind, couldn't help but voice his confusion, "It seems like the master was just waiting for us three to go to him."

He started giving instructions before we even spoke.

It's as if he knew in advance that we would come.

"If that's the case, could it be that the earth-shattering commotion earlier was the master's way of summoning us?"

"He's not even holding the sect meeting anymore. It seems like something has upset the master."

They continued talking as they made their way down the mountain.

At the Martial Arts Hall.

At this moment, a skeleton suddenly leaped up from the dried-up well.

His extremely weak voice came from within the well.

"Brother Meng, Jiu Jiu... I..."

The group, including Dog, who had been guarding the well day and night without food or water, were all excited upon hearing this feeble voice.

"Big brother, big brother, you've finally come out!"

As they spoke, they worked together to push away the stone covering the well.

Using all their strength, they only managed to create a small gap.

Fortunately, Lu Benwei below had a bit of strength left and, working with the group, they managed to move the large stone about a third of the way.

"Brother Meng, pull my head up first..."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The ghost floated down and brought Lu Benwei's skull up.

He was about to go back down to bring up the other bones one by one, but Lu Benwei stopped him.

"Don't bother with that, run, run, run!"

As Lu Benwei spoke, his head was already urgently hopping out.

"Big brother, you're not taking your body?!" Dog couldn't help but shout.

"The body will find its way back on its own. Run, run! If the master comes back now, we're dead for sure!"

"This won't be like the usual small squabbles..." he muttered, extremely anxious.

Dog and the others understood and quickly followed Lu Benwei. The group left the Martial Arts Hall and vanished in the blink of an eye.

Thousands of miles away.

Five people were walking in a desert.

"Brother, where should we go now?" Dog looked around, frowning. "This place is in the middle of nowhere. We've just stolen so many gold coins, we need to find a place to spend them!"

"That's right."

Lu Benwei stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "This time we've come out for two reasons: first, to escape the master's torment, and second, to use this time to spend the gold coins."

"So, we should go to a place where the master won't go, but that has people, where we can enjoy ourselves and spend all the gold coins before going back."

Lu Benwei said, then chuckled.

"I know where to go," he said confidently.

"Where?"

"The Immortal Realm."

The eyes of those behind him lit up.

"Big brother is mighty! Big brother is wise!"
