"I can sense that the tracking mark on the badge is still there, but I couldn’t discern its exact location," Venerable Yuan said gloomily. His voice carried a tinge of frustration and disappointment, revealing his deep concern.
Zhuo Li’s eyes narrowed as he observed Venerable Yuan’s demeanor. Despite the tension in the air, he remained calm.
Just as he was about to speak, A sudden sensation jolted through him. Reacting swiftly, his hand instinctively reached for his badge, a sense of urgency coursing through his veins.
Lowering his head slightly, his fingers grazed the surface of the badge, their touch full of anticipation.
In a swift turn of events, a holographic image materialized in the air, revealing none other than Jiang Yan, her unmistakable figure hovering before him.
"Senior Brother Zhuo, I believe I’ve been teleported to another planet. When you receive my message, I hope you can connect with me immediately," Jiang Yan said quietly, her voice filled with a mixture of uncertainty and relief.
Zhuo Li’s eyes flickered with a hint of relief upon seeing Jiang Yan’s face. Without any further delay, he sent her a voice transmission message. "Junior Sister Jiang, what took you so long? I’ve been trying to communicate with you for a while now."
Sure enough, Jiang’s reply appeared almost instantaneously. "Sorry for that, Senior Brother Zhuo. I was nursing my injuries and couldn’t afford any distractions until I am fully healed."
Zhuo Li nodded in understanding. "Then, Junior Sister Jiang, please send us your coordinates."
"Okay, then Senior Brother Zhuo, I will be waiting for your arrival," Jiang Yan said before abruptly ending the connection.
Zhuo smiled and turned to Venerable Yuan. "Jiang Yan has just contacted me. She is fine, but she has been teleported to a different planet."
Venerable Yuan nodded gravely. "Indeed, such occurrences can happen occasionally."
"Has she sent you her coordinates?" Venerable Yuan inquired, his gaze focused intently on Zhuo Li.
Zhuo Li nodded in affirmation. "Yes, she has."
"In that case, let’s go," Venerable Yuan said determinedly before retrieving a spirit boat from his space ring.
Without further delay, Venerable Yuan stepped into the boat, followed closely by Zhuo Li and Xue Ren.
The spirit boat levitated into the air, gliding smoothly amidst the clouds that blanketed the planet’s sky. As it rose higher, the landscape below gradually shrank, revealing the vast expanse of the planet.
As the spirit boat gained higher altitude, the atmosphere began to change. Soft wisps of mist danced in the air, creating an ethereal ambiance. The air grew thinner, and the temperature dropped, hinting at the untouched wonders that awaited them beyond the planet’s boundaries.
Passing through the upper layers of the atmosphere, they left the planet behind, entering the infinite void space.
Stars twinkled like distant diamonds against the backdrop of inky space, their brilliance illuminating the darkness. Swirling nebulas painted the canvas with vibrant hues, as if an artist’s brush had swirled them into existence.
After what felt like hours of traveling, they finally arrived at the coordinates provided by Jiang Yan. The planet appeared desolate and barren, with a harsh and unforgiving landscape.
Venerable Yuan landed the spirit boat smoothly on the planet’s surface, and Zhuo Li and Xue Ren followed suit. They stepped out of the boat and surveyed their surroundings. The air was dry, and the temperature was scorching.
Zhuo Li activated his divine sense, trying to locate Jiang Yan’s presence. He closed his eyes and focused, feeling the energy around him. After a moment, his eyes snapped open.
"I can sense her location not too far from here," he announced, his voice filled with determination.
Venerable Yuan nodded and signaled for them to follow him. They moved swiftly and silently, their footsteps barely making a sound on the rugged terrain. As they approached their destination, they saw a figure in the distance.
It was Jiang Yan, who seemed unharmed but exhausted.
Relief washed over Zhuo Li as he rushed towards her, his heart pounding with a mixture of worry and gratitude.
Venerable Yuan stood tall, his piercing gaze narrowing as it landed on Jiang Yan. Every detail of her being was scrutinized by his divine sense, and only then did he release a sigh of relief, his tension easing slightly.
"Little girl, it’s a relief to see that you’re fine," Venerable Yuan spoke calmly, his voice carrying an air of authority. "We are running out of time. Let’s leave now."
Xue Ren, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up. "Where are we going?"
Venerable Yuan responded, his voice filled with urgency. "You may not have noticed, but while you were being attacked inside the void passage, we were also under attack from two more mysterious black-robed figures."
Zhuo Li’s eyes narrowed, his suspicions growing. "What can you tell us about their strength?"
Venerable Yuan’s expression turned gloomy as he delivered his somber reply. "Their strength is nearly equal to mine."
Xue Ren’s eyes widened in disbelief. "Mid-stage void transformation?"
Venerable Yuan nodded gravely. "Both of them possess strength equivalent to that of experts in the mid-stage void transformation realm."
Reflecting on his recent battle, Venerable Yuan said with a hint of reassurance. "Although the battle was undoubtedly challenging for me, I managed to endure it reasonably well. Interestingly, it was the young man from the alliance who came perilously close to losing his life."
"After you boys passed through the portal, we decided to make our way and reunite on the Emerald Fall World."
"Venerable Yuan, what about the venerable monk?" Zhuo Li asked with a gloomy tone.
it was as though Zhuo Li’s words struck a sensitive chord within the venerable Yaun, causing his expression to darken and his gaze to turn ice-cold. A chilling aura began to emanate from him, filling the space with an almost palpable intensity.
For a moment, it seemed as though the weight of the world had settled upon Venerable Yaun’s shoulders, as he struggled to maintain his composure amidst the rising storm of emotions within him. With each exhale, the stifling atmosphere gradually eased, hinting at the immense power and restraint he possessed.

Finally, Venerable Yaun composed himself, his words measured and deliberate. "You need not burden yourself with these matters," he spoke, his tone carrying a mixture of determination and conviction. "Rest assured, we shall not let this injustice go unanswered. The day of retribution for our fallen comrade will come, be it sooner or later."
