Tang Ling heard what his young lord had just whispered and was bewildered. He never heard that this young lord of his had his own master and based on his words, this master of his might be one of the Emperor realm cultivators in the Immortal World. However, he is confused. Clearly, the sect master had told him that the young lord and his family had just returned to the Immortal World with their ancestor. How can their young lord suddenly have an emperor realm master? Tang Long felt dazed thinking of this.

"Tang Ling. Tang Ling? Tang Ling!"

Tan Shenyu had been calling his name only when it was called multiple times that Tang Ling had heard it.

"Yes, Shaoye (Young Master)!" Tang Ling responded.

"What happened to you? I wanted to ask if you know the territory of the Vermillion Bird clan and the Lesser Phoenix clan. If you do, let’s go there tomorrow evening," said Tan Shenyu.

Upon hearing this Tang Ling was not only confused but also terrified. Based on what he had heard just now, clearly, his young lord is trying to avenge the young miss and young master. This also meant that he wanted to attack the Vermillion Bird and Lesser Phoenix clans on his own. However, is that even possible? Even though this young lord is already in the Mid God King realm, the opponent is in the Quasi-Emperor realm.

Tang Ling looked nervous and said, "Young Lord, how about we forget about it? That’s a quasi-emperor cultivator. Our Hidden Tang Sect didn’t have someone like that. If they took revenge then our sect would be over."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Did you not know who our mistress is? It’s just a mere quasi-emperor cultivator. Even if a real emperor comes, it would be useless as they will not be able to harm the sect," Tan Shenyu said. "Moreover, my master is also an emperor. I will ask for his help if the vermilion bird and lesser phoenix clans come for revenge!"

"But Dad, do you even know where Lord Shen is?" Tan Bingyu asked.

Tan Shenyu scratched his face and said, "Well, not really. But with the Mistress with us, he should appear here soon too."

"But dad, we also don’t know where the Mistress is. The last time we met her soul clone, she said she was lost in some kind of forest, and that we should just meet her in the Hidden Tang Sect," said Xue Renxue.

Tan Shenyu said, "That is also fine. Anyway we can defeat them as long as the sun has set."

"So are we truly going to go to the Vermilion and Lesser Phoenix clan?" Xue Renxue said.

Tan Shenyu said, "Of course. Do they think they can just bully my, Shenyu’s children?!"

In the end, Tang Ling had no other choice but to send this family to the door of the Vermilion Bird and Lesser Phoenix clans’ door the next day. He truly gave up thinking. They even requested to at least arrive there after the sun set. He truly couldn’t understand what this means and all he can do is follow them.

On the other hand, in the middle of the forest, a young lady, a flying little orca system and a group of children are staring at the map laid in front of them. They were all studying the map and they also followed the correct route however, for some reason, they still couldn’t leave the forest.

Yue Zhiya asked, "Aunt, is this map fake? How can we still not be able to leave this place?"

"Mom~, I’m tired walking. Can we let the others come out and carry us?" said Yue Hualei. She is talking about the mutated pets in the Moon Goddess’s inner world.

Yue Xuexia said, "No, the qi here are too pure and most of them haven’t reached God’s realm yet. I will ask your Aunt Leopard to carry you."

She called upon the Sky Leopard that came with them from the Cultivation Realm. She and her little nephew leopard had grown nicely in her inner world. With the little leopard breaking through Huashen and the adult one reaching Early Mahayama realm.

"Please carry them a bit," said Yue Xuexia to the pair of Sky Leopards.

She lets the children ride on their backs while she is still reading the maps trying to find out where they are at this moment.

The Blue Lotus flower spirit, Yue Huashui asked, "Is the map truly fake?"

"No. The senior wouldn’t lie," answered the Moon Goddess, Yue Xuexia.

Yue Huaxue, the Snow Lotus flower spirit asked, "Then why can’t we leave the forest, Mom?"

"If the map is not the one with problems then..." Yue Xuexia looked at the ordinary looking forest surrounding them.

Observing her surroundings, she finally sighed as if she found what she was looking for. She had removed the artifact mask her master had given her which helped in changing her appearance and changed it to a thin veil to hide her face. The children watch as she approaches the tree and bumps her head on the tree trunks.

Under the eyes of the children, the Moon Goddess’s original black hair turned platinum blond. Vines from her collar crawled up and half pinned her hair up with a gold, wooden crown. Her round eyes turned long and pointy which is a feature of a high ancient elf. With her eyes closed, she started whispering ancient elven language only she can understand. The children were surprised by their mother’s new appearance.

Yue Zhiya asked, "What happened to Aunt’s appearance? Why did she suddenly turn into an elf? She looks so much like her great, great, grandfather’s appearance!"

"This might be Mom’s Elven Bloodline form. According to the bloodline Mom possessed, this is from her maternal grandmother’s side of the lineage. Lord Andromeda’s bloodline," said Yue Huashui.

Yue Xuexia communicates with the forest using her elven bloodline and as she had suspected, the whole forest is alive or at least under someone’s control which prevents her from leaving the forest as it needs something from her. It seems that her guess was correct after she initiated a conversation she heard a response from the tree.

{Child with the bloodline of the Ancient Moon Elf. Please save my child. I am willing to pay you with anything!}

’Open a path for me. I will help you save your child,’ The Moon Goddess responded.

As if answering the request of the Moon Goddess, the whole forest started to change. The trees as if they had gotten alive started shaking and some of the trees closed some paths and created only one path to guide them over to them faster. The children were dumbfounded by the huge changes in the forest but with the Moon Goddess in lead they weren’t afraid.

Yue Xuexia turned to look at them and said, "Follow closely."

After following the path opened for them, they noticed that they had gotten deeper in the forest. At the open area, where the sun is directly shining, there is a strong scent of herbs in the area. In the center of the forest Yue Xuexia and the children saw a huge Wisteria tree and under it was a fairy-like woman wearing leaves and flowers as clothes. Within her embrace is a human baby, which is malnourished and dying from being dehydrated.

{Child with the bloodline of the Ancient Elf Moon, please save my child!} The Wisteria Tree Spirit pleas.

The Moon Goddess felt bad for the human baby and approached the sentient Wisteria Tree and looked at her coldly.

"For a human child to live, it cannot exist only with water and sunlight. That is no different than killing them. They are not like plants," Yue Xuexia said.

Feeling the cold eyes of the Ancient High Elf before it, the Wisteria Tree Spirit was confused. It didn’t understand why the elf in front of it was treating it coldly. Then the sentient flower tree noticed the children behind the Moon Goddess, comparing their chubby selves from his skin and bone child, the sentient tree finally seems to understand the anger coming from the beautiful Ancient High Elf before it.

{Please... Save this child. I am willing to pay you everything I have!} The Wisteria Tree Spirit begs as it stretches out its hands giving the baby to Yue Xuexia.

"Alright!" Yue Xuexia said. "A’Shui, warm water and make some milk."

"Yes, Mom," the Blue Lotus flower spirit, Yue Huashui, responded.

The Moon Goddess didn’t hesitate to save the baby. She first used her Godly skill to cure the little baby and asked her children to heat some milk and prepare some baby food. The whole process was being watched and learned by the sentient Wisteria flower tree. Holding a baby milk bottle towards the baby’s mouth, the hungry child drinks its milk with some greed.

Yue Xuexia watched the baby drink its milk with a gentle smile, then she looked at the worried Tree Spirit who is now in tears seeing that its little baby was drinking so well, when it used to be so lethargic when it gave some water.

{That’s good. That’s good! It is drinking well!}
