Chapter 492: Chapter 490: Secret Cache in Qing Province, Return to the Floating Cloud Mountains, Xiyao Learns of the Northern Territory

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye just gave a faint smile.

"If you were to reveal your name, I believe they would recognize it as well."

After all, once the Sect Leader of the Northern Territory’s top Major Sect, Lu Ye believed that many might not know the name Xiao Qingyin.

But the four words Red Cloud Fairy... require no further explanation.

"Let’s go." As Lu Ye’s words fell, he accelerated away from the Forbidden Land’s outskirts.

Behind him, Xiao Qingyin followed.

Watching Lu Ye and Xiao Qingyin leave, the team kept a respectful expression until their figures disappeared from sight, then withdrew their gaze.

Still, the pockmarked-faced man said, "Previously, I had only seen this senior’s image in the Memory Stone, but unexpectedly, today I could see him up close, fulfilling a wish."

The leading captain then sighed, saying, "Being able to stroll leisurely in the Black Tide Forbidden Land, only such peak figures can do so easily. Unlike us, even in the outer areas, we must be cautious with every step, or problems arise."

"Stay focused and continue onward." Moments later, the captain sternly commanded, and the team slowly moved deeper into the restricted zone.

Meanwhile, Lu Ye and Xiao Qingyin effortlessly emerged from the Black Tide Forbidden Land.

After a moment’s thought, Xiao Qingyin said, "I know of another secret treasure, but the place might be far; I wonder if you’re interested."

Secret treasure?

Hearing this, Lu Ye grew slightly interested and asked, "Oh? Tell me about it; location is not much of an issue."

For those in the Innate Realm or even the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm, crossing regions can be quite troublesome.

But at the Mortal Realm Grandmaster, even the most formidable Yun Province is accessible.

Though not top-ranked, being a mainstay is achievable.

"It’s within Qing Province; I learned about it unintentionally in my early years," Xiao Qingyin explained, "However, it seems quite perilous, even for a Mortal Realm Grandmaster. I still feel that going alone would be fatal eight times out of ten."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye was somewhat surprised.

This secret realm does indeed sound dangerous.

However, the Qing Province’s territory is much larger than Xuanzhou, with more experts, which is understandable.

"I’d be interested, but let’s wait for a month, how about that?" After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye proposed.

His plan was that, afterward, the cooldown for lighting the Stele would be over.

He could then head to Qing Province to light the fourth node of the Seven Stars Map, enhancing his Seven-star Realm.

"A month later? That’s fine, there’s no rush with the timing," Xiao Qingyin agreed, as the secret treasure’s location is extremely hidden and dangerous.

A bit of preparation would be wise.

She thought Lu Ye needed a month’s leisure to prepare things.

"Shall I look for you in a month then?" After considering, Xiao Qingyin suggested, knowing he must have matters to attend to.

"Alright, then send a message when the time comes." Lu Ye glanced at Xiao Qingyin, saying, "Congratulations on becoming a Mortal Realm Grandmaster."

"Thank you. If not for your Gathering Array, I felt that this Breaking Through would likely have failed," Xiao Qingyin pondered, looking at Lu Ye, "Could you... remove your mask for a moment?"

Currently, Lu Ye was still in the guise of Chen Beixuan.

Lu Ye: "???"

Hearing this request, Lu Ye was puzzled, why remove the mask?

However, seeing the faint pleading look on Xiao Qingyin’s face, Lu Ye thought for a moment, glanced around, and found no other people.

So, he reached out to remove the mask and revealed his true face.

"Still unchanged from before," Xiao Qingyin commented after seriously observing for a few moments.

"We’ve only met a few times before, right?" Lu Ye stated calmly.

After a brief silence, Xiao Qingyin shook her head, "Indeed not many times, but those few times..."

Those few encounters had become her Heart Demon.

"You tend to your affairs; I’ll find you in a month." After stabilizing her emotions, Xiao Qingyin waved her hand and left first.

Lu Ye then looked around briefly and headed straight to the Floating Cloud Mountain Range.

There, construction of his secluded estate was ongoing, and during his absence, he was unsure of its current status.

Meanwhile.

On an immense floating island seemingly isolated from the world.

"What? You mean Chen Beixuan actually slew the Cyan Hidden Sect’s Earth Realm Fourth Layer Elder?"

In the palace on the floating island, Sang Xiyao, in a silver dress, expressed astonishment upon hearing her subordinate’s report.

Those of the Hidden Spirit Mini World were generally stronger than outside cultivators.

Unexpectedly, in such a short time, Chen Beixuan already had the capability to slay those in the Earth Realm?

Moreover, that person wasn’t just an ordinary Earth Realm Early Stage.

"No wonder back then, the Palace Master extended an olive branch to him... this young man certainly has something,"

A glimmer of interest appeared in Sang Xiyao’s eyes.

"I’ll need to inform the Palace Master of this news."

Normally, non-crucial news wouldn’t reach the Celestial Palace Master, handled by these messengers instead.

Only major events are reported to the Palace Master.

Otherwise, bothering the revered Master of the Celestial Palace for small matters would reflect incompetence on their part.

But today, Sang Xiyao felt this should definitely be relayed to the Palace Master.

Moments later, arriving at the Floating Main Island, the Master of the Celestial Palace happened to be inside the hall, observing something.

Observing the Celestial Palace Master reviewing a Jade Scroll, Sang Xiyao entered with a smile.

"Palace Master, busy?"

Some of them had been brought in by the Master of the Celestial Palace when very young.

Over the years, a bond akin to kinship had developed; thus in private, their demeanor was more relaxed.

Seeing Sang Xiyao’s arrival, the seated Celestial Palace Master set aside the Jade Scroll, shook his head, and said, "Just looking through some reports from other province domains."

"Palace Master, I actually have some news to share," Sang Xiyao said mysteriously.

Noticing Sang Xiyao’s intrigue, the Celestial Palace Master showed slight curiosity and asked.

"Oh? What news do you have? Let me hear it."
