Before long, Yuan Ming's Divine Sense landed on Qing Tong.

At this moment, Qing Tong was clashing with a group of hairy, bizarre insects, alongside Huan Ling Zi and Hou Santong, who were fighting the strange creatures by his side.

The sky above them was still filled with stars, seemingly showing that they had not left the Secret Realm. Yuan Ming hesitated for a moment, and seeing that they were too occupied to be distracted, he decided not to bother them. He then shifted his focus to sensing Yun Jiuxiao and Bing Xin.

Initially, they too had entered the Transmission Array, so they should be on Three Immortals Island by now.

Yuan Ming thought thus, but when his Divine Sense reached nearby Yun Jiuxiao, he found him in a natural cave.

In his hands, Yun Jiuxiao held a Luminous Pearl, whose faint glow illuminated the grey stone walls and the stalactites above.

Cold air condensed into dew on the stalactites then slowly slid down the walls, and suddenly trickled onto Yun Jiuxiao's neck, causing him to tremble from the cold, his expression becoming tense.

Yuan Ming noticed that Yun Jiuxiao was filled with unease and fear, as if worried about something.

At this moment, Bing Xin and Xue Jiao were also by his side, their emotions generally similar, while a little farther away, White Scale Master, Queen Ming Kong, and a robust Water Ape Clan man from the Nascent Soul level were discussing something together.

Unaware of Yuan Ming's Divine Sense arrival, he did not intend to startle them and made contact with Yun Jiuxiao using his Divine Sense, and a faint voice soon echoed in his Sea of Consciousness.

"Yun Jiuxiao, where are you now?"

When Yun Jiuxiao suddenly heard the unfamiliar voice by his ear, his heart gave a start, but with his memory altered by Yuan Ming, he quickly recalled that this was the way the Nether Moon God contacted believers and immediately became extremely respectful.

"Responding to Lord Nether Moon God, I am currently underneath Lank Island," he silently thought.

Yuan Ming was surprised; he had not expected Yun Jiuxiao to also be on Lank Island.

"Having reached Immortal Island, why are you not seeking treasure above ground but hiding here instead? Or is it that the treasures of this place are underground?" Yuan Ming continued to ask.

Yun Jiuxiao gave a wry smile, "You have misunderstood. I have had to hide here out of necessity. The Tree Demons on the island are numerous, and being spotted would mean certain death; even White Scale Master and the others could barely escape."

"Tree Demons? Are they like the ones in this image?" Yuan Ming was taken aback and portrayed an image in Yun Jiuxiao's Sea of Consciousness, which showed the Green-Black Tree People they had encountered in the Fire Essence Palace.

"Yes, exactly them," Yun Jiuxiao nodded repeatedly.

Yuan Ming's heart sank. He had thought the Tree Demons only appeared on Golden Sunflower Island, but now it seemed they might have attacked all three Immortal Islands simultaneously.

However, why hadn't he encountered even one on his way here?

Yuan Ming pondered for a moment then spoke again, "Tell me in detail what happened after you arrived at Three Immortals Island."

"After I stepped into the Three Immortals Hall Transmission Array, I found myself alone on the outer sea beach of the island. Since then, I have been searching for treasures in the island's forest. I encountered Bing Xin along the way, and we decided to try our luck at Lake Heart Island. It took a great deal of effort to reach Lank Island, but wandering the island for several days, we found nothing until three days ago, when a vast number of Tree Demons appeared out of nowhere. Bing Xin and I barely escaped their pursuit, and it was only yesterday when we happened to meet Xue Jiao and White Scale Master that we escaped one disaster and finally found this refuge," Yun Jiuxiao replied candidly.

At these words, Yuan Ming felt somewhat disappointed.

It seemed that he had overestimated Yun Jiuxiao, but then again, for a Secret Realm of Three Immortals Island's caliber, even the leaders of East Sea Core Formation might find it difficult to comprehend.

The attempt proved fruitless, and it seemed they would have to return to more straightforward methods. Yuan Ming sighed and was about to retract his Divine Sense when he inadvertently glanced again at White Scale Master and the others in discussion.

It was this look that suddenly sparked an idea in Yuan Ming's mind.

"Yun Jiuxiao, do as I instruct..."

...

While Yuan Ming was communicating with Yun Jiuxiao, an argument had broken out among White Scale Master and the others. Initially harmonious, the three were now in dispute.

"This won't work, that won't work, do you plan to hide here all your lives?" the robust Water Ape Clan man bellowed.

"What do you mean 'you plan'? Look at the rotten ideas you've got. If it's not luring the enemy deeper in, it's sneaking up for a surprise attack. Round and round we go but can't get past the moment of killing. I'm really starting to doubt whether you cultivated your brains away too. Looking at the number of Tree Demons outside, I'm afraid the moment you make a move, the entire island's worth will swarm over here. Do you really think we could kill them all by ourselves?" White Scale Master said, exasperated.

"So here you wait, planning to see them off to their graves? Or have you taken a fancy to this feng shui haven, willing to forsake the fortunes of Thousand Snake Island, and are you determined to stay here and cultivate into an immortal?" The Water Ape Clan robust man crossed his arms and spit to the side.

"Enough, both of you, stop arguing. Don't either of you have the appearance of a clan leader? All this squabbling, will that solve our crisis?" Queen Ming Kong scolded, frustrated by their noise.

White Scale Master snorted and turned his head away, while the Water Ape Clan robust man still glared at White Scale Master but his tone softened.

"In any case, we cannot just sit and wait for death. Ming Kong, you always have ideas, I trust you. Just tell us what to do now."

Upon hearing this, Queen Ming Kong let out a long sigh and rubbed her brow, but she did not have any good solution at hand.

It was at this moment that Yun Jiuxiao suddenly stepped forward.

"Venerables, I have something to say, though I'm not sure if it is appropriate."

"Heh, you..."

The White Scale Master let out a scornful laugh, about to mock him with a few words, but he was met with a fierce glare from Queen Ming Kong. His expression turned cold, but he remained silent.

Queen Ming Kong was not in the mood to consider the thoughts of White Scale Master, and turned her head directly to Yun Jiuxiao: "Speak."

"I wonder if the three venerables have ever heard of the Lord Nether Moon God?" Yun Jiuxiao took a deep breath in his heart under the gaze of the three Nascent Souls and spoke slowly.

"Nether Moon God? Could it be, are you a Wu Yue Sect believer?" Queen Ming Kong's pupils tightened, as something came to her mind.

Under pressure, Yun Jiuxiao firmly shook his head and repeated the words he heard: "No, venerables, the Lord Nether Moon God I worship is not a Wu Yue Sect Venerable, but another deity. Though not equal to Wu Yue God, he also possesses some Divine Skills."

"Ha, if he has some Divine Skills, why not communicate directly with us? Why send you to relay the message?" The Water Ape Clan brute scrutinized Yun Jiuxiao.

"That's because only believers can receive Lord Nether Moon God's gaze and hear his call. However, the Lord is currently watching over me, so he can also hear the venerables' voices. Whatever the venerables wish to ask, please speak directly," Yun Jiuxiao bowed towards the sky.

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense, what is your purpose in seeking us out, speak plainly!" White Scale Master's eyes flashed coldly.

Fearing in his heart, but with the support of the Nether Moon God, Yun Jiuxiao still gathered his courage and said: "Lord Nether Moon God told me that he has seen chaos arise in the East Sea. Currently, outside Three Immortals Island, Wu Yue Sect followers are taking advantage of the absence of the Island's Nascent Souls to wreak havoc. Fusang Island is bearing the brunt, and other First-level Islands are also experiencing disturbances."

Upon hearing this, Queen Ming Kong and the others were shocked.

Being Nascent Souls themselves, as well as leaders of their clans, the fate of their races took precedence over personal achievements.

Unlike the Human Clan, as members of Alien Clans, the islands under their command are the lifeblood of their races. Should they fall, the Human Clan would never allow them to occupy another island again. What awaited them was a return to the sea, to abide among demon beasts.

However, they would not panic just because a Core Formation junior said so.

"Do you have any proof to back up your claim?" Queen Ming Kong asked.

"Indeed, words alone are not proof. Upon entering Three Immortals Island, we have lost all means of communication with the outside world. How could you, a mere Core Formation junior, know what is happening outside?" The Water Ape Clan brute also interrogated.

"Venerables, as I have already said, it was Lord Nether Moon God who told me. His Divine Skills far surpass those of a Nascent Soul, and he can naturally communicate both inside and outside Three Immortals Island. If the venerables do not believe me, please look at this," Yun Jiuxiao said.

As Yun Jiuxiao spoke, he brought his hands together in prayer towards the sky for a moment, and then several Imprint Talismans appeared out of thin air, slowly floating down in front of him.

Seeing this, the Water Ape Clan brute's eyes widened, suddenly turning to look at Queen Ming Kong and White Scale Master, only to see a similar astonishment on their faces.

With their level of Cultivation, they didn't notice at all how these Imprint Talismans appeared, and with Yun Jiuxiao's level of Cultivation and skills, it was utterly impossible for him to accomplish this.

Could it be that this Nether Moon God he spoke of truly existed?

Unconsciously, a flicker of doubt arose in the hearts of Queen Ming Kong and her companions.

Yun Jiuxiao, completely unaware of the astonishment of Queen Ming Kong and the others and with a modified memory, held unreserved trust and admiration for the Nether Moon God. In his view, the minor feat of teleporting items was hardly worth mentioning.

He picked up the Imprint Talismans in front of him, one by one activating them through casting. The scenes recorded within the talismans depicted the dire situation on Fusang Island.

What was once a bustling city had been turned into an inferno, corpses littered everywhere. The Cultivators fighting in the sky above the city were blinded by rage, unable to distinguish friend from foe.

Screams of agony and cries of mourning were both incessant yet drowned out by the sounds of battle and deranged laughter. Amid the ruins, a group of black-robed Soul Cultivators was wantonly slaughtering and looting, reaping flesh and souls.

Viewing scene after scene, the eyes of Queen Ming Kong and the others were filled with rage, especially upon seeing the corpses of their clan members lying among the dead.

"No, we can't wait any longer, we must leave Three Immortals Island now!" The Water Ape Clan brute bellowed, standing up at once.

White Scale Master did not speak, seemingly still reluctant to leave behind the opportunities on Three Immortals Island.

After taking a deep breath, Queen Ming Kong looked up at Yun Jiuxiao: "What price must we pay for the Nether Moon God to inform us of the current situation on our islands?"
