Three nearby Gold Core cultivators jolted awake and rushed into the inn, only to find that Han Yi had already disappeared.

One of them held a palm-sized copper mirror. A red dot on the mirror had vanished; this copper mirror was a tracking treasure. After Han Yi left the Profound Immortal Pavilion, they had marked his aura by using the mirror. This mirror allowed them to track cultivators marked with a specific aura.

However.

Just now, when Han Yi stepped into the inn, his aura disappeared in less than three breaths’ time, shocking the trio.

“Second Brother, what should we do?” one of the cultivators asked.

Second Brother’s face turned cold, with murderous intent flickering in his eyes.

“What can we do? Since our target is the one with the rabbit, we’ll have to go back to Tian Nan Immortal City and wait for the rabbit. As long as we keep an eye on the girl from the Yu family, he’ll have no choice but to come to us.”

“As soon as they meet, we’ll show ourselves and slay this cultivator.”

“No, we can go further and kill this cultivator directly near the Yu family’s residence, giving them a warning as well.”

The third cultivator frowned.

“Would our Big Brother agree to that?”

Second Brother sneered.

“What’s there to fear? Once we complete this task, Big Brother would only praise us.”

“It’s not like it’s our first time doing this.”

“There’s no time to lose; let’s go.”

The trio soared high into the sky and boarded an Immortal Boat, flying away.

Han Yi was unaware that his caution had temporarily spared him from a battle. He learned to be more cautious after being ambushed by Yan Bu, a killer from the Black Divine Tower, when he left Qian Du.

Learning from failure is where wisdom comes from.

Moreover.

According to rumors, a commission from the Black Divine Tower would only be canceled if the mastermind behind it died. Han Yi didn’t know why he had been targeted by the Black Divine Tower, but he was always on guard for potential attacks.

The Red Moon Immortal Boat was fast, and Han Yi’s realm had already broken through to the Golden Core. Naturally, it was much faster than it had been during the Foundation Establishment stage. This time, it took him only six days to reach Jinyun Immortal City, four days less than before.

After arriving at Jinyun Immortal City.

Han Yi thought it over and didn’t use his immortal boat to cross the Evil Mountain Range directly. Instead, he entered the Immortal City, went to the Myriad Immortal Building, rented an Immortal Boat slot, and waited for three days. The Immortal Boat then set off for Tian Nan Immortal City.

The route through the Evil Mountain Range was monopolized by several large commercial firms, making it much safer than other places. Han Yi didn’t want to take any chances, so he chose to ride an Immortal Boat. If there were any problems, the Immortal Pavilion’s cultivators would be there to protect it.

Although slower, it was more stable.

Previously, when he returned to Tian Nan Immortal City from Yujing Mountain, even Wu Gang of the Middle Golden Core stage rode the Immortal Boat instead of traveling alone. This showed that the route was not a simple one.

On the Immortal Boat.

This time, there was no incident of flying beast attacks like the last time.

However, during the half-month journey, many cultivators on the boat gathered to chat and share information, just like when Han Yi encountered the four loose cultivators from Luoxia Mountain last time.

Han Yi was no exception; his current cultivation base was at the Foundation Building Middle Level, wearing a gray robe and carrying a fiery red long sword on his back, which made him look like a loose cultivator.

Han Yi joined other Foundation Establishment Cultivators in exchanging information.

However, he only knew about relatively outdated information. He spent most of the past seven years cultivating and didn’t know much about the outside world. He just wanted to see if he could get some free information.

Especially any clues about the whereabouts of Yuan Shun.

“I heard that a true disciple of the Jiuding Sect broke through to the Golden Core on Tailing Mountain but was killed by a Soul Sect cultivator and refined into a Soul Slave. This caused several Nascent Soul cultivators from both sects to come out, and they eventually shattered the entire Tailing Mountain.”

“Ordinary Golden Core cultivators couldn’t even watch.”

“It’s amazing. These two places are part of the four sacred lands of the Daqin Empire. Although they are not as powerful as the Creation Gate, they are stronger than Luofu Mountain.”

“The cultivators of the Soul Hall are quite daring, directly refining a true disciple of a sacred land into a Soul Slave. This must have been a planned action, or it wouldn’t have been so easy.”

“Such sacred lands are beyond the reach of us loose cultivators. We can only talk about it.”

As Han Yi sat in meditation, an idea suddenly struck him.

The Daqian Immortal Country had two sacred lands, the mountain and the sea, which were Yujing Mountain and Stars Sea, respectively.

On the other hand, the Daqin Empire had four sacred lands: Creation Gate, Soul Hall, Jiuding Sect, and Luofu Mountain.

Among these four sacred lands, the Creation Gate stood at the top. Rumor had it that the previous Sect Master of the Creation Gate had stepped into the Half-Immortal Realm, on a certain Immortal Road, ranking only lower than Daqin Emperor in the entire Yu Heng World.

As for the Soul Hall, it was quite mysterious, and unrivaled in the field of Divine Souls within the entire Yu Heng World.

The Jiuding Sect, on the other hand, had nine cauldrons, all of which were spiritual treasures. It was said that if the nine cauldrons were combined, they could become a true Immortal Artifact.

However, the Jiuding Sect had experienced disasters in its history, and three of the nine cauldrons had been lost. If the cauldrons could be gathered again, the Jiuding Sect might become the leader among the four sacred lands.

Luofu Mountain was a sect of sword cultivators, located on a mountain range called Luofu in the eastern part of the Daqin Empire. Thus, it was named Luofu Mountain..
