One day later, Ye Yu received two pieces of news.
The bad news: the golden antenna above Ying Naiyan’s head was still there.
The good news: eight elders from the Heavenly Talisman Immortal Pavilion had successfully arrived at Wuwei Tower.
They began to study and discuss solutions together.
Such a high-profile approach made Ye Yu deeply realize that Dongkui was truly the type to order a kill but not to bury the body.
Yes, undeniably, that Immortal King level talisman had a very obvious effect—it could locate Ying Naiyan in an extremely short time.
But at the same time, it came with huge side effects.
Having that golden thread hanging above her head for so long was hard not to attract attention.
Last night, nearly a hundred immortals were roaming around near Wuwei Tower.
They all suspected some terrifying immortal artifact was about to emerge here.
Otherwise, how could such a scene appear?
Facing their suspicion, Ye Yu gave them a cold glare and told them to get lost.
Most immortals, upon sensing Ye Yu’s Immortal Lord realm aura, wisely left.
But a small group tried to use their cultivation to bully and insisted on entering Wuwei Tower to see what was going on.
This enraged Ye Yu, who immediately launched a massacre.
He killed those disrespectful immortals on the spot.
He even threw the corpse of one Immortal King realm cultivator outside, which finally stopped those with ill intentions.
Though effective, unseen immortals still lurked in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity.
Cultivation was a struggle against the current—heavenly fate and resources were something one had to fight and snatch for desperately, even at the risk of death, just for a slim chance at survival.
Ye Yu had no interest in playing hide-and-seek with these rats lurking in the dark.
The current priority was how to remove the golden thread above Ying Naiyan’s head.
Once the strange phenomenon disappeared, those immortals would no longer be so frantic.
“So, is it still not done?”
Ye Yu could not help but interrogate Dongkui again.
She smiled brightly and waved her hands repeatedly.
“Almost done, almost done!”
After saying this, Dongkui quickly gathered the eight elders and inquired about the progress.
Unexpectedly, the elders all wore troubled expressions.
“Immortal Lord, we are powerless as well.
We have tried more than ten methods of dispelling the talisman—none worked.”
“Moreover, this is an Immortal King level talisman; with our cultivation, we are truly unable to dispel it!”
“I suggest the Immortal Lord take a wait-and-see approach.
Perhaps, if we wait long enough, the golden thread will disappear on its own.
Maybe in ten years, maybe in a hundred.
After a hundred years, if it still hasn’t disappeared, perhaps the immortal will have gotten used to it by then!”
...
It wasn’t that the elders didn’t want to help, but they really were powerless.
Their average cultivation was around the peak Celestial Immortal realm; even if they worked themselves to death, they couldn’t handle an Immortal King level talisman.
They really were incapable.
However, this infuriated Dongkui.
“Come on, who just said I should wait and see? Step forward so I can see you!”
“Immortal Lord, it was me who said that! It’s just the only way we know!”
Elder Ma Qiansheng weakly stepped forward and obediently raised his right hand.
Dongkui’s anger flared.
She grabbed his collar and pointed at Ye Yu in the distance.
“Ten years? A hundred years? See that man?
He’s about to eat me alive right now—how could we wait that long?
And have you seen the Immortal King realm corpse at Wuwei Tower’s entrance? He killed it.
Why don’t you relay what you just said to {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} him, and see what he does?”
“No, Immortal Lord!”
Ma Qiansheng waved his hands repeatedly.
The seven other elders also lowered their heads, not daring to say a word.
“If you won’t, then hurry up and continue your research!
By any means, you must remove that golden thread!
Otherwise, go tell Ye Yu yourselves!”
After scolding them, Dongkui let out a slow breath and walked straight to Ye Yu.
“Well, there might be a small problem.
Why don’t you wait here while I look elsewhere for a solution?”
By now, Dongkui had prepared for the worst.
At worst, she would seek other talisman sects in the Heavenly Realm to come and help.
After all, the entire Heavenly Talisman Immortal Pavilion was basically ruined.
They couldn’t be counted on anymore; help had to be sought elsewhere.
Ye Yu was not foolish and immediately understood Dongkui’s meaning.
“Your people can’t solve it, right?
In that case, I’ll go look outside.
You stay here and guard Yan’er, make sure all my wives are safe, can you do that?”
“Yes, definitely!”
Feeling guilty, Dongkui immediately guaranteed it.
She might not be good at other things, but such a small matter was no problem!
After briefing his wives, Ye Yu left the sect.
He wasn’t surprised by Dongkui’s words because he had already planned to seek help outside.
The reason was clear from the elders’ cultivation level—they probably couldn’t handle it.
But to not discourage them, Ye Yu said nothing more.
Yet, in his heart, he had already settled on a fallback plan.
The Xinghen Talisman Sect!
After the Heavenly Realm’s catastrophe, it was the top talisman sect.
Previously, in the dream, Ye Yu had passed by this sect, so he was familiar with their location.
He found the place easily.
Their sect’s formation was far grander than that of the Heavenly Talisman Immortal Pavilion.
Millions of talismans formed a high wall at the gate—anyone passing by would definitely stop and look.
Among these talismans were everything—from basic auxiliary talismans to lethal talismans capable of killing Immortal King realm cultivators.
This was simply how Xinghen Talisman Sect showed off its power!
Upon arriving, Ye Yu immediately communicated with the immortal guarding the formation’s front, introduced himself, and requested help from the sect’s high elders.
The immortal did not make any trouble, returning into the sect promptly.
Soon after, a beautiful immortal lady came out.
“I am Elder Pei Xiaogong of the Xinghen Talisman Sect.
Speak your business.”
Ye Yu immediately explained Ying Naiyan’s situation.
He straightforwardly said that if they could remove the golden thread, he would offer a generous reward—no need to worry about that.
Pei Xiaogong narrowed her eyes slightly.
“You mean the talisman you used before was Six Realms Seeking Fate?
Are you from the Heavenly Talisman Immortal Pavilion?”
