After the group finished their meal, Helian Chi descended slowly from the night sky with several elders from the sect.
These people had arrived by treading on swords, clearly taking the matter of Sunset Forest to heart.
"Sect Leader," Little Wei and the others stood up and bowed in greeting.
"How many people are inside?" Helian Chi asked.
"Not many. There might be some cultivators who entered during the day and haven’t come out yet. Since the incident was sudden, I didn’t have time to investigate thoroughly."
Helian Chi patted the shoulder of the Peak Master of Dan Peak.
"You handled this well. But that girl who killed the demonic creature—she’s really gone?"
"Yes, that was my oversight," the Peak Master of Dan Peak admitted with a hint of guilt. "However, that girl gave Little Gu a spirit beast. It looks like a Phantom Light Tiger. Sect Leader, take a look—is it real?"
Upon hearing this, Helian Chi quickly walked over to Little Wei and glanced down at the small kitten in her arms.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and his refined face revealed an unreadable emotion.
"If that’s the case, could she be from the Huaiyang Sect?"
"The Huaiyang Sect?" Little Wei exclaimed in surprise.
"The founding ancestor of the Qingdao Sect was the young master of the Huaiyang Sect. However, back then, family and sect were inseparable. The Qingdao Sect was the only sect with members from multiple families, so it naturally couldn’t keep the Huaiyang Sect’s name. After Gu Wei’s ancestor ascended to immortality, the Huaiyang Sect vanished. Now, no one knows where it is."
"But one thing I can say for certain is that the Huaiyang Sect must have artifacts and techniques to suppress demonic creatures. After all, it has deep roots—even artifacts tens of thousands of years old have been preserved. The Gu family is also the only one that witnessed the demon race’s peak and has survived to this day."
Helian Chi clasped his hands behind his back, his expression solemn.
Meanwhile, Little Wei felt a surge of pride, her nonexistent tail practically wagging.
She had been quite impressive back in the day, hadn’t she?
"But even you guys can’t contact them?" Little Wei asked skeptically.
Given the relationship between the Qingdao Sect and the Huaiyang Sect, they should at least have some ties.
"Well, to be honest, the Huaiyang Sect wasn’t fond of the Qingdao Sect. The Qingdao Sect was created to save the Canglan Continent from calamity, and because of this, Gu Wei’s ancestor sacrificed her divine soul to ascend. The Huaiyang Sect’s old sect leader was furious about it and withdrew from the world."
If the Huaiyang Sect were to reappear, the Qingdao Sect wouldn’t be the top sect on the Canglan Continent anymore.
Not that the Qingdao Sect cared much about such titles.
"Si, is there any way to contact them?"
Little Wei twitched her ears, asking Si, who was in her spatial realm.
Her wife from back then must have known the Huaiyang Sect.
Si looked awkward. "I truly don’t know where they’ve hidden themselves."
Though the Liu family had marital ties with the Huaiyang Sect, Si wasn’t very familiar with its members.
People back then were reserved—just being able to meet Gu Wei a few times was already a rare privilege granted by the Huaiyang Sect.
Let alone meeting family—that was far too intimate.
Besides, after Gu Wei transferred half of her divine soul to elevate Si to godhood, Si didn’t stay in the Canglan Divine Realm for long. She knew nothing about what happened in the Canglan Continent afterward.
"However, there’s one person who definitely knows." A name flashed through Si’s mind.
"Who?" Little Wei perked up.
"Chi Mu. He’s the only one who became a god after me, and he stayed in the Canglan Continent for a long time. He’d know these things."
"Him? You’re not still secretly in touch with him, are you?" Little Wei’s tone turned sour.
"Yeah, and I’m worried you’re the one sneaking around with him," Si shot back just as tartly.
The two of them stewed in mutual jealousy for a moment before Si suddenly laughed.
"Fine, I get it. I’ll contact Chi Mu. If he knows, you can also check out the Huaiyang Sect—there must be a lot about you there."
Si quickly reached out to Chi Mu, while the elders and the old man from Dan Peak were setting up a barrier to seal the entrance. They needed to secure the area before investigating the Sunset Forest incident.
The barrier required immense effort, so the disciples sat cross-legged nearby to rest.
This gave Little Wei time to chat.
"Hey, little one, what brings you to me now?" Chi Mu’s voice echoed in Little Wei’s ears.
Little Wei: ???
"Asshole."
She cursed under her breath.
She hadn’t expected Chi Mu to become so shameless after all this time.
Chi Mu: ???
"Why the insults? Seriously, can’t you be a bit sweeter now that you’re a girl?"
Before he could finish, Si kicked him.
"Stop flirting and get to the point," Si said flatly.
Back then, it was Chi Mu who was jealous of her. Now, it was hard to tell who was jealous of whom.
The whole dynamic was a tangled mess.
"Who’s flirting?! Ugh!" Little Wei was genuinely annoyed.
What nonsense!
Hmph!
"Yeah, yeah," Chi Mu quickly agreed, then glanced at Si. "Though if you’re willing to hand her over, I wouldn’t mind."
Naturally, Si kicked him again.
After some banter, Chi Mu finally got serious and explained about the Huaiyang Sect.
"Actually, getting to the Huaiyang Sect isn’t hard. While the Gu family is wary of outsiders, direct descendants of the Gu family can enter without issue. I know where the Huaiyang Sect is."
"How do you know?" Little Wei was puzzled.
Chi Mu hesitated, rubbing his face—fortunately, Little Wei couldn’t see his expression.
"Well… I kind of came from the Huaiyang Sect too."
Little Wei: …
That was unexpected.
"Why were you in the Huaiyang Sect?" Little Wei remembered the sect leader’s words—the Huaiyang Sect was a family-based sect, and Chi Mu wasn’t a Gu.
"I was an orphan. It wasn’t hard for me to join." Chi Mu rubbed his hands lightly.
Si gave him a sidelong glance.
Chi Mu was lying.
The Huaiyang Sect wasn’t the type of place that just let anyone in.
"Whatever. Just tell me where it is," Little Wei said, not wanting to dwell on it.
"The bottom of the sea."
Little Wei: ???
"You’re joking, right?" Her eyes nearly popped out of her head.
An underwater structure?
Even modern technology couldn’t achieve that!
"No joke. The Huaiyang Sect has relics from ancient ruins that allow them to live underwater. Of course, they still need to buy spirit rice and vegetables from the surface. So there must be a way in. But back then, some members hadn’t reached the fasting stage. Now, with their cultivation levels, they’ve probably all achieved it. Whether the underwater passage is still open, I can’t say."
"If they ever plan to return, they’d leave at least one passage," Little Wei reasoned.
"That’s what I think too. Here, I’ll draw you a map and have Liu Sisi send it over. Then you can find the place."

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night.
