"Saffron, are these the people who were chasing you?"

The blue-robed elder spoke.

"Indeed, that old ghost of mine was killed by that thief leading them."

Saffron nodded, a trace of coldness in her voice.

"That little thief looks very young, should not be more than twenty years old, does he really have the ability to kill Zi Qian?"

The blue-robed elder was slightly surprised, showing a different expression.

"This thief's skills are very strange. That old ghost and I once analyzed that this thief might hold information about a Secret Realm or Cave Mansion, and his skills were acquired from there."

Saffron said.

"Oh? A Secret Realm or Cave Mansion?"

The blue-robed elder's old eyes suddenly brightened with a hint of excitement.

"Not only that, but that boy also carries Talismans that can only be found within a Secret Realm."

Saffron raised her head, glanced at the blue-robed elder beside her, and the words she spoke made the elder's eyes grow even more fervent.

"Talismans? Is this true?"

A hint of delight crossed the old face of the blue-robed elder.

"Absolutely true. I have seen that thief in action more than once, and he possesses more than just one Talisman. There are many, of various types, though their power is weaker than the Profound Water Celestial Talisman that the Sea Dragon Sect obtained from the Secret Realm."

"Good."

Despite the blue-robed elder's undiminished delight, he turned to glance at Saffron and said, "Saffron, you came here today because of this boy, right?"

"I have come today to ask the Supreme Elder to help me eradicate this thief. It would be best to capture him alive, so we can extract the information he knows. If that's not possible, then let him die."

Saffron's voice carried a hint of sinister coldness.

Upon hearing this, the blue-robed elder nodded and said with a smile, "Back then, when you and Zi Qian handed over the item from the Secret Realm to me, I promised to owe you two favors. The first was to help Zi Qian become the Pavilion Master, which I have already accomplished. Are you sure you want to use the second favor today?"

"Yes, although my relationship with that old ghost was not harmonious, we were still married, and I must avenge this grudge."

Under her black robe, Saffron nodded in confirmation.

"Haha, very well. My little darlings have never tasted fresh human flesh. Today, I'll let them have a taste."

The blue-robed elder chuckled, his eyes glancing at Qin Yang and his companions opposite before they drifted leisurely to the still water of the pond.

Within those waters, something seemed to be lurking beneath the surface.

Halfway up the mountain.

Qin Yang and Bi Luoyue stood by the pond, gazing across the water at the two figures in front of the small wooden house.

"Saffron is indeed here, and the other must be the Supreme Elder, right?"

Qin Yang's eyes were slightly cold.

"Yes."

Bi Luoyue nodded.

"Boss, should we attack now?"

Wang Hu rumbled.

However, before Qin Yang could answer, the two figures in front of the wooden house flickered and lightly stepped onto the wooden stakes protruding from the water, standing in the middle of the pond.

The blue-robed elder gently clasped his hands behind his back, first giving Qin Yang a glance full of interest before his gaze landed on Bi Luoyue.

"Little Luoyue, I didn't expect you to come out."

The blue-robed elder was momentarily surprised, then his voice deepened, "However, bringing so many people to this old man's abode, are you trying to commit treason?"
