The man known as Cao Zhen's Biography walked directly to the main seat.

"Third Princess, there's no need to be so serious. I, Cao Yu, cannot stand to see others looking so grave. The path of Cultivation is long and tedious, filled with numerous hardships. How nice it would be if everyone could be happy every day!"

The Third Princess frowned secretly. It would be strange if anyone could be happy when dealing with a guy like you, who comes around giving orders.

Thinking this, Xiaoo Ying'Er was forced to put on a smile. "What Cao Zhen's Biography says is right!"

Cao Yu glanced at Xiaoo Ying'Er. "Of course, if you're not happy, there's no need to force a smile! Third Princess, you are as beautiful as a flower, even more appealing than the Fairies of my Immortal Sect, yet forcing a smile makes you look a bit unsightly!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoo Ying'Er's expression stiffened. Despite her excellent composure, anger flared within her at such rude treatment, and she quietly clenched her fists!

The five Grand Elders of the Profound Phoenix Celestial Sect, seeing their Celestial Sect Saintess being treated so rudely by this eccentric, ill-spoken Cao Zhen's Biography, were all infuriated but did not dare show any sign of displeasure. They could only lower their heads, pretending not to hear.

Lin Xuankong, who was secretly watching the situation in the council chamber, furrowed his brows upon seeing this. His relationship with Xiaoo Ying'Er had always been quite good, and he considered her a friend. Seeing her so frustrated naturally annoyed him. Yet, he was surprised. The Third Princess of Great Xia and the Celestial Sect Saintess held such esteemed positions. How could they not dare to retort after being harshly confronted by this eccentric Immortal Sect True Inheritance?

This eccentric Cao Zhen's Biography from the Immortal Sect is so arrogant! Behind Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er stands the entire Great Xia Dynasty, the Saint Dragon President, the Celestial Sect Leader, and Emperor Xiao of Great Xia!

As Lin Xuankong was still surprised, Cao Yu spoke,

"Emperor Xiao of Great Xia has already taken my advice and mobilized Cultivators from various regions to thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of the Immortal Artifact... Of course, the main focus remains on Great Marsh Prefecture!

However, despite the Third Princess claiming to have mobilized over one hundred thousand Cultivators in Great Marsh Prefecture for a thorough search, after several days, no trace of the Immortal Artifact has been found. Third Princess, you have been quite disappointing!"

Hearing this, Lin Xuankong's heart stirred. This Cao Zhen's Biography has been acting so passive-aggressively since he arrived. Is it because the Third Princess hasn't found any trace of me?

At this moment, Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er finally felt she could no longer hold back. Her father had brought Cao Yu from the Immortal Sect to help fend off the disturbances from the Six Great Demon Sects of the Rakshasa Kingdom, not to let him boss her around and issue commands! Her father even considered marrying her to this guy. Hmph, she would rather be married as a concubine to Lin Xuankong, who already had a wife, than to this guy!

She suddenly stood up, frowning, and said,

"Cao Zhen's Biography, I have already dispatched all the Cultivators from the Celestial Sect, Holy Dragon Association, Governor's Mansion, and various City Lords in Great Marsh Prefecture. Among them, though a few might not be meticulous, the majority are without issue! The key is, the powerhouse possessing the Immortal Artifact is formidable and has only appeared once. How could they be found easily? It will naturally take some time!

To track the Immortal Artifact, I have even temporarily halted the battle at Sealed Demon Mountain. Cao Zhen's Biography, are you still not satisfied?"

Cao Yu raised his left eyebrow, shaking his head. "Of course, I know that finding the trace of the Immortal Artifact takes time! I am just worried that the Great Xia Dynasty might plan to monopolize the Immortal Artifact, and even if they get information, they would hide it from me! Of course, this is just my worry; perhaps I'm overthinking it!"

Hearing this, everyone present, including the Third Princess, had a sudden stiff expression. Especially Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er; that was indeed her intention... but the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect was immensely powerful, and she certainly couldn't afford to offend this Cao Zhen's Biography openly. Thus, her true plans could never be revealed!

Seeing Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er remaining silent, Cao Yu's left eyebrow twitched, and he said coldly,

"My Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect has already sent ten Late Stage Ninth Layer disciples to the Great Xia Dynasty. Although my junior brothers haven't reached Ninth-Layer Perfection, each possesses Immortal Sect Immortal Techniques, and their strength is not much weaker than mine! Although Central State is extremely distant from Great Xia, with numerous Demons along the way, they will undoubtedly arrive within a hundred days!

If by that time, Great Marsh Prefecture still has not uncovered any leads, my junior brothers might resort to using Magical Artifacts and performing the Soul Searching Technique on every Cultivator in Great Marsh Prefecture.

If it truly comes to that, all the more than two hundred thousand Cultivators in Great Marsh Prefecture will suffer, their Divine Souls damaged, and even Cultivators from other regions will be affected!

For the safety of the Cultivators in Great Marsh Prefecture, for the Cultivators of the Celestial Sect and Holy Dragon Association, Third Princess, esteemed Grand Elders, I hope you will all do your utmost to avoid harming the harmony between my Immortal Sect and the Great Xia Dynasty!"

Upon hearing this, Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er furrowed her brows even deeper. After a moment of contemplation, a trace of helplessness appeared on her face, and she said with some difficulty, "Moving forward, I will urge everyone to intensify their search and produce results as soon as possible!"

The five Grand Elders of the Profound Phoenix Celestial Sect had hidden resentment in their eyes.

In their view, the ten Late Stage Ninth Layer Cultivators from the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect were indeed powerful. But if it really came down to it, the Profound Sect Celestial Sect, the Great Xia Royal Family, and the Holy Dragon Association combined could definitely suppress those ten Immortal Sect Disciples! After all, Great Xia Dynasty's more than ten Tier Nine Powerhouses with Celestial Demon Bones could already suppress the ten Late Stage Ninth Layer disciples from the Immortal Sect...
