The gaze of the Profound Turtle was also somewhat complex. Ao Qiong had returned so quickly and even brought back the Yuan Gui Xuanbing Divine Sword, which was truly unbelievable.

Despite the doubts in its heart, the Profound Turtle had to loudly congratulate on the surface: "My lord, you have obtained the Yuan Gui Xuanbing Divine Sword so swiftly; it is truly impressive."

"Haha, it just so happened that when I returned, my third sister was on duty. I mentioned it to her, and she lent me the sword."

Ao Qiong was very pleased. Actually, he didn't dare to look for his father, the North Sea Dragon King, but luckily his third sister Ao Ying was on duty.

Ao Ying and Ao Qiong were siblings from the same mother, and he had followed Ao Ying since childhood, with a close sibling bond. Ao Ying's talents were much stronger than his, having gone through the Thunder Tribulation early on to forge a True Dragon Body.

The North Sea Dragon King also placed special importance on Ao Ying, who had been serving as the Beihai Patrol Envoy in recent years. Ao Qiong chanced upon Ao Ying, mentioned his mission, and she naturally supported him.

Thus, Ao Ying took initiative under the pretense of patrolling the Deep Sea to borrow the Yuan Gui Xuanbing Divine Sword.

However, privately utilizing such treasure was a significant matter. Ao Ying instructed Ao Qiong to make a quick round trip, without delay.

If anything happened to the Yuan Gui Xuanbing Divine Sword, Ao Ying wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility.

Ao Qiong naturally assured by patting his chest, with such a Divine Sword, killing Gao Xuan would not be difficult.

Of course, Ao Qiong wouldn't go into too much detail with the Profound Turtle and the others about these matters.

Carrying the Yuan Gui Xuanbing Divine Sword, Ao Qiong impatiently said: "Let's go, let's kill that little thief."

The Profound Turtle hurriedly stopped Ao Qiong, "Before taking action, one must at least know where the person is."

He said, "We should first use the Ten Thousand Miles River Map to locate Gao Xuan."

The Qiong River Crystal Palace possessed a Ten Thousand Miles River Map, marking out each major river up and down the Qiong River.

Using the Ten Thousand Miles River Map, one could observe any situation within its scope. It was very convenient and practical.

Ao Qiong remained indifferent, pondering where Gao Xuan, as the Celestial Master of Wuyuan Country, could flee.

But it was harmless to have a look first, in case Gao Xuan wasn't there, it would be awkward to charge in vain aggressively.

The Profound Turtle activated the Map of Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains in the center of the great hall and quickly found the Celestial Master Temple on Biyun Peak in Wuyuan Country.

Biyun Peak was covered with golden chrysanthemums, looking golden and splendid even from the River Map. In the bleak deep autumn among countless mountains, Biyun Peak appeared particularly magnificent.

Especially under the midday sun, the golden chrysanthemums glistened with spots of Golden Light. The scene was even more beautiful and dreamlike. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"This lad certainly knows how to have fun."

Seeing the scenery of the mountain full of golden chrysanthemums, Ao Qiong was also filled with joy. He specially instructed the Profound Turtle: "I like these flowers; later, be careful not to damage them."

The Profound Turtle could only nod repeatedly in agreement.

The Celestial Master Temple on the Ten Thousand Miles River Map grew larger, only the Immortal Emperor statue in the temple radiated Spiritual Light, enveloping the temple in a cyan light screen.

Through the cyan light screen, everything appeared elusive and vague.

The Profound Turtle hesitated a bit. This Celestial Master Temple also had an Array for protection. The crux was not sensing the presence of Gao Xuan.

For a strong individual like Gao Xuan, even sitting still, the aura he emitted would surely be captured by the River Map.

Now, however, Gao Xuan's aura was completely absent. This was somewhat strange.

The Profound Turtle made a gentle swipe, expanding the scope of the Ten Thousand Miles River and Lake Map, covering a thousand miles around, and detected a few Spirit Immortal auras.

However, observing those aura states, none matched with Gao Xuan's.

Ao Qiong was a bit surprised, "What, is Gao Xuan really not here; did he flee?"

A Celestial Master officially appointed by the Celestial Court was different from a National Preceptor. The National Preceptor was appointed by the earthly Emperor, while the Celestial Master was appointed by the Celestial Court.

Without permission from the Celestial Court, the Celestial Master can't roam around freely.

As a direct lineage of the Dragon Race, Ao Qiong was very knowledgeable of these matters. Not seeing any signs of Gao Xuan, he also found it a bit strange.

Could it be that Gao Xuan dared not provoke him and had already fled?

If that were the case, it would be somewhat unfortunate. He wouldn't be able to unleash the power of the borrowed Yuan Gui Xuanbing Divine Sword.

Ao Qiong asked the Profound Turtle: "Where has this boy gone?"

This question left the Profound Turtle unsure how to answer; he wasn't keeping an eye on Gao Xuan all the time, so how could he know where Gao Xuan had gone?

Importantly, with the Cyan Celestial Realm being so vast and with Gao Xuan's deep cultivation, if he hid somewhere, no one could find him.

The Profound Turtle thought for a moment and said: "The Celestial Master Temple has an Array for protection, and there are people inside, everything is in order, so Gao Xuan probably hasn't left. It's just unclear where he's gone..."

As the Profound Turtle was speaking, another Spirit Immortal aura appeared on the River Map, descending to the Celestial Master Temple.

Opening up the River Map, it revealed a middle-aged man in white, who was quite handsome, yet his eyes appeared shifty, conveying a somewhat sneaky impression.

The middle-aged man in white reached the entrance of the Celestial Master Temple, adjusted his clothes, and then lightly knocked on the door knocker.

"Who is this person?" Ao Qiong asked.

The Profound Turtle didn't recognize the middle-aged man either, so he casually replied: "He should be a cultivator from Wuyuan Country."

The door opened, and due to the entry of an outsider, the cyan light shrouding the Celestial Master Temple dimmed slightly.

A white-robed maiden came out to greet him; she glanced at the middle-aged man in white and said indifferently: "Mr. Zuo, the Great Lord is not here."

The middle-aged man in white appeared anxious: "I have urgent business with the Celestial Master. Please, Daoist friend, help me out, so as not to delay important matters."

The white-robed maiden was naturally Ripples, who never liked Zuo Wentao, but Zuo Wentao didn't seem to be pretending.

Moreover, what nerve would Zuo Wentao have to deceive the Great Lord?

Although a bit unwilling, Ripples still connected with Gao Xuan through Divine Sense.

In fact, even before Zuo Wentao's arrival, Gao Xuan sensed something amiss with the Celestial Master Temple's aura.

The Ninth Consciousness of the Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada was so profound that when Ao Qiong's malice suddenly intensified, Gao Xuan felt it.
