"All right, then you must be extremely careful."
"Yes, you have to be careful, extra careful."
"If anything happens to you, how are we supposed to go on living?"
"Rest first. After you eat and get a good night’s sleep, set out tomorrow."
The four Elders warned her again and again.
"No need. For this kind of matter, the earlier it’s resolved, the better." Tianmiao stood up. "As for how to treat those Cultivators who are Demonized but still conscious, I’ll leave that to you Grand-Elders."
"No problem, don’t worry. I’ll send out Hero Posts at once and summon all the Sect Masters to discuss countermeasures." The Great Elder also rose to his feet.
"Won’t that alert the enemy?" the Fourth Elder asked with a frown.
"In this matter, I believe we should indeed alert the enemy and let everyone know the truth. Let all Cultivators heighten their vigilance, and also give hope to those Demonized Cultivators who need to be saved, so that they will come to White Jade City." The Great Elder said in a low voice.
"Indeed, that is the best approach." Wei Yunshu nodded in agreement.
"Then, there’s no time to lose, I’ll head out first. The letter said this first started happening somewhere in the northwest. I want to go take a look at Xiji City." Tianmiao bid farewell to everyone and was about to leave.
"Wait, I’ll go with you." Master Wuxin stood up.
"Oh right, Great Elder-Grandfather, there’s still a Demonized disciple inside Master Wuxin’s Sumeru Ring who needs immediate treatment. Please send him to the Jade Heart quickly for healing." Tianmiao said to the Great Elder.
"Don’t worry, I’ll arrange it at once." The Great Elder nodded. "Master Wuxin, release the disciple in your Sumeru Ring."
Master Wuxin nodded, first offering his thanks, then released that unconscious, Demonized disciple.
The Great Elder took his pulse, his brows knitting tight. "His Spirit Root has also been Demonized. As expected, only the Jade Heart can purify him. There’s no time to delay, you should be on your way."
Tianmiao still brought only Kong Hou and Dong Xiao, and left together with Master Wuxin.
In the carriage, Tianmiao said softly, "A bit further ahead and we’ll have to put the carriage away. We’ll take the Flying Boat from there so we don’t expose our identities."
Master Wuxin nodded.
The inside of the carriage fell silent again.
After who knew how long, Master Wuxin suddenly spoke in a low voice. "Your family treats you very well. That is... very good."
Tianmiao was a little surprised. This seemed to be the first time Master Wuxin had taken the initiative to chat.
"What about you, Master Wuxin?" Tianmiao asked casually.
"I don’t know. I have no memories of my parents." Master Wuxin shook his head.
Master Wuxin seemed to be an orphan. He had been picked up and sent to the Xuanji Sect, grew up there, and later, with outstanding Talent, was accepted as the Sect Master’s disciple.
"I’m sorry." Tianmiao said somewhat apologetically.
"Why apologize?" Master Wuxin was a little puzzled. He spoke slowly, "Your parents went into seclusion right after you were born and have remained so until now. You haven’t met them, have you? I have no impression of my parents, and I don’t feel it matters. I am, I exist, and that is all."
Tianmiao understood at once. Master Wuxin was very indifferent to family ties—or rather, he no longer had that kind of feeling or need.
Tianmiao did not explain anything, she merely smiled and said, "Master’s Buddhist Law is profound; you see through things clearly."
After the carriage had traveled half a day, Tianmiao took out a small Flying Boat, and she, Kong Hou, and Dong Xiao all changed their appearances with illusions. The face Tianmiao used was one she had adopted when doing a task in a small world. In fact, in this world, although Tianmiao’s current appearance was beautiful, it was not her original face.
