“Of course I know!”

Xu Ke’s voice sounded somewhat proud.

“I’ve said it before, Senior Lu Ya is very kind.”

“When he brought me to the Imperial Beast Sect, with the sect being so vast, he knew I was mischievous and liked to wander around. So, for the convenience of finding me, he gave me a jade pendant.”

“I can sense my location at any time.”

“And this function is two-way, I can also find him at any time.”

“Hehe, actually, I know that Senior Lu Ya was afraid I’d be bullied when I just entered the sect, so he left this jade pendant for me.”

As Xu Ke responded, he showed Li Fan the jade pendant hanging from his chest.

Li Fan looked over and saw that the jade pendant resembled somewhat the exotic beast Senior Lu Ya had ridden before.

But looking at Xu Ke’s smug look, inexplicably, a sense of annoyance arose in his heart.

Then he coldly retorted, “Since the jade pendant is two-way, Senior Lu Ya must have known when you approached him.”

“Now he’s with Mr. Bai, and he didn’t want you to meet Mr. Bai before. So this time, he’ll definitely avoid you too.”

Xu Ke didn’t care, foolishly saying, “Xiao Xuan, you’re overthinking it, for sure…”

However, before he could finish his words, he suddenly froze: “What’s going on? The sensing actually disappeared suddenly?!”

The Green Phoenix bird beneath him hadn’t reacted yet, still flying towards the direction Xu Ke had indicated earlier.

Xu Ke lamented with a gloomy face, complaining, “Xiao Xuan, you’re such a jinx. Good things don’t work out, but bad things are spot on…”

Li Fan sneered and gave him a slap.

Xu Ke rubbed his head, but didn’t give up on finding Lu Ya’s whereabouts.

His eyes lit up with an idea.

“Xiao Xuan, since you’re the legendary Tianming (Innate?) Divine Bird, your abilities must be great, right?”

“So, can you help me find Senior Lu Ya and Mr. Bai’s current location?”

Li Fan raised his head slightly, looking proud.

Seeing this, Xu Ke immediately said many flattering words, promising to help Li Fan find three stems of Red Insect Grass.

The taste of that rare red insect grass still lingered deeply in the soul of the Divine Bird.

Enticed by delicacies, coupled with Li Fan’s genuine desire to try it, whether he could see that mysterious and unpredictable Mr. Bai.

So, with a leap, he arrived above Xu Ke’s head.

Activating his innate supernatural powers, he gazed into the distance.

Whether it was Lu Ya or Mr. Bai, their aura must be different from ordinary people.

Inside the Imperial Beast Sect, they should stand out conspicuously.

As Li Fan pondered this, the result turned out somewhat unexpected.

Not far away, he did see a dazzling azure aura of aura, indeed very conspicuous.

But around that blue aura, there was nothing.

“Could it be that Mr. Bai has already left the Imperial Beast Sect?”

“Or is this prominent aura not related to Lu Ya?”

Li Fan was somewhat puzzled, but still marked the location in his mind for Xu Ke.

Xu Ke was extremely excited and urged Little Qing to fly quickly towards the target.

The Green Phoenix bird also obediently followed the words of this young boy whom he had just met not long ago, carrying him tirelessly and accelerating.

The location where Lu Ya was seemed to be in a small cabin on top of a mountain.

Just as Xu Ke and they were about to approach, a thin figure flew out from the mountaintop and disappeared in an instant.

But Li Fan could faintly feel that the person who had just flown out seemed to have glanced towards Xu Ke’s direction.

“Mr. Bai!” Xu Ke exclaimed.

But Li Fan felt somewhat solemn.

Because he saw it very clearly, there was actually no aura above Mr. Bai’s head to be observed at all.

“To perceive aura is the Tianming (Innate?) supernatural power of the Divine Bird clan. What kind of cultivation is it that even the Tianming (Innate?) Divine Bird cannot observe?”

In the bloodline inheritance memory of the Divine Bird that Li Fan was attached to, its ancestors seemed to have never encountered such a situation.

Xu Ke stared in the direction where Mr. Bai disappeared, standing still for a moment.

Then, still tangled, he urged Little Qing to fly towards Senior Lu Ya’s cabin on the mountaintop.

Flying to the mountaintop, Xu Ke couldn’t wait and leaped down, rushing towards the cabin.

“Senior Lu Ya!”

Xu Ke pushed open the door excitedly, but was surprised to find that besides Lu Ya, there was another person present.

With a lean face and white eyebrows and beard.

A sense of awe emanated from him, causing Xu Ke’s body to suddenly stiffen.

The white-bearded old man and Lu Ya merely glanced at the intruding Xu Ke before continuing their previous conversation.

Without avoiding Xu Ke’s presence, the white-bearded old man said, “Since you’ve already agreed to the other party, then do as he requests.”

“Although he came knocking on the door forcefully, it might not all be bad.”

Lu Ya’s expression was somewhat astonished: “Senior, what did you see?”

The white-bearded old man didn’t answer directly, but smiled and asked back, “Lu Ya, do you believe in what Mr. Bai said?”

Lu Ya suddenly fell silent.

The white-bearded old man shook his head. “People always make mistakes. Sometimes, openly admitting one’s mistakes is not a shameful thing.”

But Lu Ya bluntly said, “I only believe in my own eyes.”

“Many times, what you see may not necessarily be the truth,” the white-bearded old man sighed softly.

However, he seemed to also know Lu Ya’s temperament, not easily persuaded.

So, he didn’t linger on this topic anymore, but turned to say, “A great calamity is approaching, and our Imperial Beast Sect may be hard to escape.”

“But amidst the bleakness, I see a glimmer of hope.”

“This glimmer of hope is related to Mr. Bai’s mission, and also to this little friend here.”

The white-bearded old man’s gaze turned to Xu Ke, who was standing still, bewildered.

“Him?” Lu Ya turned to look at Xu Ke, his expression inexplicable.

“None other than him.” The white-bearded old man nodded.

Lu Ya shrugged. “Although Senior, you are known as the all-knowing wisdom beast, Emperor Sanmo, if the only hope of the Imperial Beast Sect rests on this kid… it’s really too far-fetched.”

“I don’t believe it anyway.”

Emperor Sanmo didn’t argue, but smiled and said, “In the river of destiny, who dares to claim full knowledge? The so-called ‘all-knowing’ is just a misunderstanding of me by outsiders.”

“However…” Emperor Sanmo paused. “The fact that this kid barged in today and has a mysterious connection with Mr. Bai and you, on the contrary, makes me more confident in my judgment.”

“After all, I only believe in my own eyes.”

The smile on Emperor Sanmo’s face suddenly disappeared, replaced by an extremely solemn expression.

Seeing this, Lu Ya could only nod slightly.

“Anyway, there is still some time before Mr. Bai’s mission ends, which is enough for this kid to grow.”

“But, what about those troublemakers in the sect?”

“Are we really just going to let them be?”

“Our Imperial Beast Sect hasn’t perished yet, right?”

Lu Ya frowned, his tone displeased.

“Let those who want to leave go.” Emperor Sanmo, however, showed no anger.

“With the great calamity looming, every additional disciple to protect will require more effort.”

“It’s not a bad idea to streamline things while we have the chance.”
