Those two cultivators from the Eighth Realm, although strong, were far from enough to repel master on their own.

In the message that the Bodhi transmitted, the abbot mentioned that it was actually the Abyss itself that acted directly.

The Abyss is not an unconscious group of Laws; it has its own thoughts and measures. At such a critical period, a rare opportunity, naturally the Abyss understood what to do.

At some unknown cost, it tore a very small part of the seal and personally took action to repel Chen Hua.

However, Chen Hua was also an extraordinary genius, directly using the pressure from the Abyss to achieve his mission in heading to Desert North—

Breaking through to the Ninth Realm!

What should have been an event to shake the entire Mystic Mechanism World was suppressed by Chen Hua being at the forefront facing the Abyss, under heavy seals, not even the usual signs of advancement were produced.

Chen Hua, having ascended to the Ninth Realm, underwent a complete transformation. Before the Zen Sect could fully react, he alone with a sword blocked off the entire Abyss for three days, and is still guarding in front of the largest Abyssal Rift up to now.

It's not that Chen Hua didn't personally send messages to them, but rather that he simply did not have the energy to do so, and could only entrust the Bodhi abbot from the Zen Sect to send messages on his behalf.

Chen Hua approved of his disciple Liang Yi's actions to eradicate the Devouring Spirit Sect's influence within the continent; one person, no matter how powerful, would by no means be able to defeat so many remnants of the Abyss alone. This matter could only rely on the efforts of everyone on the Mystical Mechanism Continent.

Thus, Chen Hua instructed Liang Yi to form an alliance with all the Super Forces as quickly as possible to eliminate the influence of the Devouring Spirit Sect.

"Also..." Liang Yi saw the message in the Bodhi and suddenly his expression became quite strange.

"Did master say anything?"

"What's going on? What's going on? Hurry up and share, meow!"

Su Youyi and Mr. Orange were one worried, the other eagerly watching the big event unfold.

"Master asked us to incidentally find the trace of the Vermilion Bird Envoy, and if possible, take her to the ninety-ninth Snow Mountain behind the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool, to meet with the person there, to see if she's willing to come out." Liang Yi looked bewildered because of this,

Subconsciously, Liang Yi thought of the person Senior Fang mentioned before, the master's wife whom he and his junior sister have never met.

"Ding! Congratulations on triggering the mission [Mystic Mechanism in Peril]!"

[Mission Prompt: While the Banished Immortal Chen Hua guards the Abyss, he needs a solid backing. Hence, he wants you to unite all Super Forces as the Sect Leader of the Purple Cloud Sect and the Chief Disciple of the Taoist Sect to clear out all lapdogs of the Abyss, preparing for the crucial battle against the Abyss.]

[Mission Requirements: Unite all Super Forces within three months.]

[Mission Completion: 3/7]

[Mission Rewards: 10 million Experience points, fixed respect from all non-hostile forces across the continent, elevation of NPC authority level, and increased affinity with the Heavenly Dao.]

"Ding! Congratulations on triggering the mission [Chen Hua's Heart Knot]!"

[Mission Prompt: Chen Hua's wife, Elder Sister of the Zhou Family, Zhou Ruanxian disappeared along with the third younger sister Zhou Yuqing while adventuring with Chen Hua. Now, Chen Hua suspects that Zhou Yuqing, the Vermilion Bird Envoy of the Devouring Spirit Sect, is the missing third sister of the Zhou Family.]

[Task Requirements: Find the Vermilion Bird Envoy and bring her to the ninety-ninth snow mountain behind the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool to reunite with Zhou Ruanxian.

[Task Rewards: Experience 10 million, Zhou Family siblings' favorability +1000, mastery of the Primordial Cloud Scroll Immortal Technique.]

"This first task overlaps quite a bit with that previous [Abyssal Seal's Shattering] one," Liang Yi reflected.

The previous task was mainly about eradicating the influence of the Devouring Spirit Sect, while this one is about forming alliances with other Super Forces.

Currently, the Complete Heaven Sect, Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty, and the recently mentioned Zen Sect from Bodhi have already successfully formed an Alliance; only Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool, Ten Thousand Miles Mountain, Senluo Wanxiang Sect, and the Blood Control Sect remain.

Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool and Ten Thousand Miles Mountain are solid allies, not requiring Liang Yi's worry; the main issues lie with the Senluo Wanxiang Sect and the Blood Control Sect.

With the Senluo Wanxiang Sect, Liang Yi hasn't had much contact, but he has a good relationship with the Chief of the Complete Heaven Sect and the Sect Master's daughter, so naturally, their relationship with the Senluo Wanxiang Sect isn't good. As for the Blood Control Sect, that's the most troublesome one—not only is the relationship poor, but there's also quite a bit of enmity.

And the second task is the matter concerning the Vermilion Bird Envoy that Master mentioned in the letter.

After reading the task background, Liang Yi realized that the Vermilion Bird Envoy he met before actually had such a connection with his master; he did not see that coming.

But their mistress is actually in the mountains behind the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool; no wonder the place where Master freeloads meals the most is the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool.

After simply informing his junior sister and Mr. Orange about these two matters, Su Youyi's face showed an expression of worry identical to her senior brother's.

Whether it's dealing with the Blood Control Sect or the Senluo Wanxiang Sect, it's challenging, and with the Vermilion Bird Envoy, they don't even have any news at all; just thinking about it made both of their heads grow bigger.

"What about the Demon Clan, meow?" Mr. Orange thought for a bit, then plucked a shiny golden hair from his behind.

After whispering a few words to this golden hair, its form began to change, gradually becoming a small orange cat that was three parts like the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits and seven parts like Mr. Orange.

The orange cat meowed a few times, then nodded at Mr. Orange and with a leap, it directly entered the Void and disappeared.

"I mentioned it to my cheap old dad, meow! He's most likely to agree to an alliance as well!" Mr. Orange licked the fur on his paws nonchalantly.

"Next time, you're getting more dried fish snacks!" Liang Yi smiled, this was one of Mr. Orange's rare reliable moments.

"Hmm..." Liang Yi lowered his head and pondered for a while; under the gaze of Su Youyi and Mr. Orange, he gestured in midair a few times, splitting the information he wanted to convey into two Communication Talismans, holding them in his hands.

"Senior brother, what are you doing?" Su Youyi was curious, not understanding her senior brother's actions.

"One is for Little Bamboo House, the other is for Elder Zi. We are few and in need of help; let Little Bamboo House and those Abnormal People help us search." Liang Yi released the Communication Talismans in his hands, one towards the left and the other to the right, setting the target to acquaintances of Little Bamboo House and Elder Zi. The talismans flashed with light and in the blink of an eye, disappeared.

"Searching for someone is probably going to take a lot of time; since we don't need to worry about Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool and Ten Thousand Miles Mountain, let's discuss whether we should go to Senluo Wanxiang Sect or Blood Control Sect first?" Liang Yi pulled his junior sister to sit down on the clean grass, forming a triangle with Mr. Orange.

"Mm, these two sects are located in the south of the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty, right? And they're also two adjacent sects..." Su Youyi recalled the information she had seen before about these two sects.

"Yes... the two sects are more or less next to each other, so it's just a matter of which one to go to first," Liang Yi said.

"Of course, we go to the one we don't have enmity with first, meow." Mr. Orange touched his nose, stating the obvious.
