In another part of the Blackwind Sea, a dozen or so figures stood in the air, their clothes fluttering in the wind.
These people all wore grey robes and looked like they were from the Fuling Sect, which was as famous as the Torch Dragon Path and Cangliu Palace.
The two people at the front were the zombie-like Feng Tiandu and the one-eyed man who was the sect master of the Fuling Sect.
Apart from Feng Tiandu and his junior brother, there were three others who had a more determined temperament than the rest. They were also Golden Immortals.
One of them had a square face and big ears, a tall and fat body. From afar, he looked like a mountain of meat.
The other two were of average build, but their skin color was very strange and different from ordinary people.
One of them had skin as black as ink and a face like that of a kitchen god. If there wasn't enough light, it would be difficult to recognize his facial features. The other person's skin was as white as paper without a trace of blood. Even his hair and eyebrows were pure white.
The rest were naturally True Immortals. Their cultivation wasn't weak either, around mid to late stage.
"... I went to Blackwind Island to investigate. Not only did the people from the Northern Frost Immortal Palace disappear, Island Lord Lu Jun and a few of his important subordinates are also gone.
I searched the soul of one of the stewards and found out that those people had suddenly disappeared a few days ago, "the square-faced Golden Immortal said respectfully.
When the one-eyed man heard the man's words, he said with an ugly expression, "Indeed, it is as Senior Brother said. There is an 80% chance that Xiao Jinhan did something to the entrance of the Immortal Abode."
"It seems we were too careless. The significance of this trip to the immortal palace is different from before. I should have known that Xiao Jinhan wouldn't let others get their hands on it so easily," Feng Tiandu said with a sigh.
"Reporting to Grand Elder, Sect Master, I also found out that there are other forces looking for the people from the Northern Frost Immortal Palace," the Golden Immortal continued.
"Oh, how many forces? Did you find out their origins?" Feng Tiandu's eyes flashed.
"There are two or three forces. They are also very vigilant. I didn't dare to get too close, so I didn't investigate very clearly.
However … one of them should be from the Cangliu Palace. It's the West Palace Master Cui Can, "the Golden Immortal said.
"Since we were able to discover that the entrance's disappearance was the work of the Northern Frost Celestial Palace, the other forces naturally realized it as well.
Since Xiao Jinhan has gone to such an extent, the other powers obviously won't let the matter rest … There's no need to pay attention to this matter for now. "Feng Tian waved his hand and spoke.
"Xiao Jinhan claims to be the Palace Master of the Northern Chill Immortal Palace, but his actions are so despicable. He wants to completely cut off everyone's path to the Immortal Palace!
Senior Brother, what should we do now? "The one-eyed man looked at Feng Tiandu and asked hatefully.
"There's still some time before the Immortal Mansion appears. No matter what, we have to find the entrance. Otherwise, we'll have come here for nothing.
If Xiao Jinhan obtains that item, the Fu Ling Sect will truly be in danger. The Torch Dragon Path is a good example. "Feng Tiandu's face turned cold as he spoke.
In the center of the city, there were two guests, a man and a woman, sitting in a private room of a rather unique inn.
The man looked to be in his thirties and was wearing a green robe.
The woman was a young woman in a white robe. Her appearance was ordinary, but her figure was quite graceful.
There was a sumptuous banquet in front of the two, but they didn't have the slightest intention of eating or drinking. Their expressions were somewhat anxious.
"I didn't expect Xiao Jinhan to take such drastic measures. The deadline is approaching.
Huyan, what do you think we should do now? "the young woman in white asked anxiously.
These two were Daoist Huyan and Yun Ni, who had changed their appearances.
Daoist Huyan's eyes flickered as he said, "It seems that it's useless to continue waiting in Black Wind City. Let's look elsewhere.
This matter is of great importance. No matter what, we must find the entrance to the Immortal Palace! "
Daoist Huyan's eyes flickered as he said, "But there are only two of us. The Black Wind Sea Region is so vast, how can we find it?
Why don't we call that Li Feiyu over to help? We should try everything in a desperate situation, "Yun Ni suggested.
"There's no need. This area isn't peaceful right now. It's best to avoid contact with other powers as much as possible.
As for finding the location, I have my own plans. "Daoist Huyan shook his head. He then stood up and walked outside.
Yun Ni looked at Daoist Huyan's departing figure and knew that he was a man of his word. She faintly sighed and lightly followed him.
Somewhere in the Black Wind Sea, there was a group of white-robed cultivators gathered on a seemingly desolate island.
There were a total of eleven or twelve people, both men and women. Their sleeves were embroidered with the image of a snow swallow. At this moment, they were either standing or standing in groups of two or three. None of them spoke.
From their positions, it could be seen that their leader was the square-faced old man standing in the middle. The aura on his body was vigorous and solid. It was obvious that he was a Golden Immortal stage cultivator.
As for the others, they were all True Immortals.
From their expressions and occasional glances, it seemed that they were waiting for someone.
After an unknown amount of time, a streak of silver light appeared in the distant horizon. It shot over at a speed visible to the naked eye and arrived near them in the blink of an eye.
Only then did the people on the island clearly see that it was a silver-robed woman.
"Fellow Daoist, you've come." The square-faced old man immediately welcomed her with a fawning smile on his face.
A smile appeared on the silver-robed woman's face as she asked, "Did you find anything?"
"Not for now. However, although our Xue Clan moved out of the Black Wind Sea many years ago, there are still many spies here. I've already sent someone to contact them and have them help us search. I'm sure we'll find something soon," the square-faced old man said.
The silver-robed woman frowned for a moment before immediately relaxing her brows and saying gently, "There's not much time left before the Immortal Abode opens. Search for the entrance with all your might. Otherwise, we'll only end up empty-handed."
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist. We'll definitely do our best," the square-faced old man immediately said.
The silver-robed woman nodded and said a few more words to the old man before flying away as a streak of silver light.
"Ancestor, this Qu Ling's cultivation is far superior to ours. Although she came to our Xue Clan with the intention of joining forces to explore the Immortal Netherfrost Abode, does she really want to join forces with us?
I can see that there's a hint of hostility in her eyes. She's not a good person. "
A long-faced man waved his hands and created a white barrier that enveloped everyone. He took a few steps forward and said to the square-faced old man.
"That shouldn't be the case. Although her cultivation is high, she's alone. The forces that came to the Black Wind Sea for the treasures all have the advantage in numbers, but she's alone. That's why she's looking for help," the square-faced old man said.
The long-faced man didn't say anything, but the doubt on his face didn't lessen.
"Don't worry. Although she's powerful, the ten of you can set up the Snow Silkworm Formation together with me. It'll be more than enough to protect ourselves.
Even if she wants to use us, as long as we enter the abode, she won't be able to interfere. "The square-faced old man said with a prideful smile.
The long-faced man's expression relaxed and he smiled. "Ancestor, you're the most thoughtful one."
At that moment, the silver-robed woman was rapidly flying across the sea.
On her shoulder was a small white insect that looked like a Longhorn Beetle. Its body was as white as jade, as if it was carved from jade.
The white Longhorn Beetle opened its mouth and said, "... As long as we enter the abode, she won't be able to interfere."
It was the voice of the square-faced old man.
"A few small insects. Forget it, I still need you."
The silver-robed woman sneered and put away the white Longhorn Beetle. Her hands kept waving.
Every time he waved his hand, a ball of faint white mist would shoot out from his sleeve.
The mist quickly drifted away. It turned out that the essence of the mist was a translucent white insect the size of a grain of rice. They drifted away in all directions.
At the bottom of the sea, a Core Formation stage eel demonic beast swam quickly and its body touched a few white insects.
The white insects were like water droplets that touched cotton. They immediately sank into the eel's body.
The eel demonic beast didn't notice this at all and continued to swim forward.
This kind of situation was happening all the time in the nearby sea. These white insects possessed the bodies of various sea beasts and even ordinary fish in the sea. They quickly spread out in all directions.
A dozen or so cultivators were sitting cross-legged on the calm surface of the sea, forming a circular formation.
Three bald men hovered in front of the group. They were all Golden Immortals and seemed to be the leaders. The rest of them seemed to be True Immortals.
These cultivators all had a small blue flag hovering in front of them. They were crystal clear and the dense runes on the flag could be seen clearly.
Each of the small flags emitted the ripples of the Law of Water. They were all immortal artifacts, and they seemed to be a set.
These cultivators were chanting incantations while their hands were constantly forming hand seals.
Dazzling blue light shone from the small blue flags and condensed in the air to form a huge blue screen of light. It looked like a huge mirror.
The three bald Golden Immortals chanted a hand seal. A blue beam of light shot out from each of their palms and entered the huge mirror.
The huge mirror cracked and shattered, turning into dozens of smaller water mirrors.
A scene appeared on each of the water mirrors. Some were under the sea, some were in the sky, and some were on the island.
Blue light flickered on the water mirrors and the various scenes kept changing.
The cultivators present stared at these water mirrors and observed the situation.
As the time approached, the major forces that came to the Blackwind Sea were unable to confirm the location of the Immortal Abode's entrance. Naturally, they became anxious and searched everywhere like crazy.
At first, they tried their best to hide their tracks. As time passed, they couldn't care less and revealed their tracks with great fanfare.
