Tian Huangjin, who was leading her race mbers to look for Zhang Fei [5], imdiately stopped as soon as Xuanyuan Zhuanxu appeared in front of them. She imdiately cupped her hands at the old man. "Are you a native of this domain, Senior?"
"What is your purpose in coming to my domain this ti?" Xuanyuan Zhuanxu looked at the people behind Tian Huangjin before asking her again. "Why did you bring so many troops?"
One of the winged race mbers wanted to speak to Xuanyuan Zhuanxu, but Tian Huangjin quickly stopped him. "Senior, Liang Huizhong contacted our leaders after he detected the movent of the demon races in this domain, and one of the elders of the Samsara Divine Sect disappeared along with several others around the temple. Therefore, my leader sent us here to investigate the reason behind the presence of those demons, and he also asked us to search for people from that sect."
"Those people are no longer in this domain, and the demons took them away long ago." Tian Huangjin and the others looked distrustful of Xuanyuan Zhuanxu. "It’s up to you whether you want to believe or not, but I’ve told you the truth. After all, the portal to enter this domain is not only located in the Divine Samsara Sect, but there are several other portals out there, and those demons use one of them to get here. You guys can look for them if you like, but I hope you won’t cause chaos in my domain because of your enmity with those demons. If you do, I won’t hesitate to kill you all, whether they are from your race or those demons."
"Don’t worry, we only ca here to search for those people, and we are not going to war with the demons." Tian Huangjin then asked him. "Do you know the whereabouts of the young man with several mythical beasts by his side, Senior?"
Xuanyuan Zhuanxu montarily raised an eyebrow. "Do you know that young man?"
"His na is Zhang Fei, and I t him in the Three Mortal Realms years ago." Xuanyuan Zhuanxu wore a doubtful expression after Tian Huangjin said that, forcing her to create a Qi screen displaying their past eting in order to convince him. "We actually wanted to explore this domain together, but the portal sent us to different locations. I sensed his presence in this area earlier, but he disappeared so quickly, and I lost track of him."
Xuanyuan Zhuanxu nodded in understanding and pointed towards the temple. "They’re in the Temple of Forgotten Fla now, but you won’t be able to get close there because the Eternal Fla has returned, and it’s created a barrier to prevent people from disturbing it."
"Huh?" Tian Huangjin and her race mbers were shocked when they heard that, and a young male winged race mber imdiately asked Xuanyuan Zhuanxu. "Has the Eternal Fla really returned to this domain, Senior? When did the fla return?"
"Today." Xuanyuan Zhuanxu looked away. "I have other business, so I’ll be leaving now."
"Wait—" The young male winged race mber sighed in disappointnt as Xuanyuan Zhuanxu hastily disappeared. "Hey, Huangjin, who exactly is Zhang Fei? Why are you so eager to et him?"
"Is he your lover, Huangjin?" a young female winged race mber asked Tian Huangjin separately. Her question caused the other female mbers to tease her too.
Tian Huangjin shook her head at them. "Zhang Fei and I are old friends, and he helped hunt down Xereth in the past. In fact, that demon had fallen into his hands, and he sent him to the Star Tower. Since he’s in the temple, we should go there to et him. However, I warn you not to speak carelessly in front of him, especially since there are many cultivators stronger than us by his side now."
"Let’s go."

Tianshi Shengjie, who was leading the beast race against so demons, raised an eyebrow when she felt soone’s gaze on her. She decided to use her full strength and kill those demons. She then looked up at the sky. "Senior, I know you’re hiding up there, so I hope you’ll co out and et . My na is Tianshi Shengjie, the princess of the Celestial Dragon Race."
Xuanyuan Shun decided to et them. "I didn’t expect the Celestial Dragon Race to send their princess to my domain to hunt these demons."
"You’re wrong about that, Senior." Tianshi Shengjie explained the reason for their arrival in the Forbidden Land to him. "Do you have any information about them, Senior?"
Xuanyuan Shun nodded slightly. "There are several portals to enter this domain, and one of them is in the Ten Hells Monarch Domain. The demons used that portal to enter here, and they took those people away through it as well."
"So, those people have fallen into the hands of those demons, senior?" A young man with a tall, bulky, and muscular body asked. His appearance was quite intimidating to most people, but it wasn’t enough to intimidate an old monster like Xuanyuan Shun.
"The Faceless Demon Race, to be precise." Tianshi Shengjie and the others frowned after Xuanyuan Shun ntioned the demon race. "As I recall, the demon race possesses extraordinary disguise abilities, and only a few people can see through their disguises, one of whom is Long Wuzhao. If my guess is correct, they intend to use those people to infiltrate important locations, so you should inform your emperor of this matter."
Tianshi Shengjie turned to the young male dragon. "Long Youjia, use your void abilities to send a ssage to my godfather, and tell him to directly inform our emperor about this matter."
"Alright." Long Youjia imdiately took out a device, whispered sothing in it, and sent it into the void. "The ssage will reach my father in a few hours."
"That’s good." Tianshi Shengjie then asked Xuanyuan Shun. "Senior, do you know the location of the group of a young man with several mythical beasts by his side? We were supposed to explore this domain together, but the portal separated us randomly."
"They went to the temple." Xuanyuan Shun imdiately warned them. "The Eternal Fla has returned, and it has created a barrier there to prevent people from approaching. If you want to go there, I warn you not to look for trouble with it; otherwise, it will attack and roast you alive."
"When did the Eternal Fla return?"
"Today, and that young man seems to know the Eternal Fla." Even though she was quite familiar with Zhang Fei, Tianshi Shengjie was still surprised by it. "Rember, don’t disturb the fla."
After the old man disappeared, Long Youjia turned to Tianshi Shengjie and asked her a question. "Is Zhang Fei really that great, Shengjie? I heard from my father that our emperor praised him to the skies, and he looked forward to their eting."
"Whether Zhang Fei is great or not depends on your judgnt, so you can wait until we et him, and then you can judge him for yourself." Tianshi Shengjie imdiately flew towards the temple, followed by the other dragon races.
"Hmm?" Long Youjia thought about sothing for so ti before catching up with them.

In other areas, the leaders of the nine demon races looked furious, especially after receiving reports of many of their mbers dying in the temple area. So of them decided to investigate the area themselves.
In another area, mbers of the fairy race were busy fighting demons as they moved toward Zhang Fei [5]’s previous location. Not only the fairy race, but another group also moved toward Zhang Fei [5]’s previous location. This group was from the Jiao Clan, which had been targeting him for the past few days.
All groups of cultivators from the Empyrean Main Domain also tried to search for Zhang Fei [5]’s whereabouts while fighting the demons that blocked their way. The sect masters of the domain quickly led their mbers to look for him, but all his acquaintances who joined those sects decided to keep quiet.

"Why are you so intently observing this ruined statue, husband?"
Zhang Fei [5] turned to Luo Yunxiao and showed her the two map fragnts. "ngying and I obtained them both at the Star and Sun Towers, and this map points to this temple. I’ve been searching for a while, but I haven’t found anything unusual in this place."
"Have you asked them?" Luo Yunxiao turned to Feng Yao and Huo Ling, who looked so intimate on the altar.
Zhang Fei [5] nodded at her. "I asked them a long ti ago, but they repeatedly said they never found anything here."
"I see." Luo Yunxiao nodded in understanding. "Since you’ve searched every corner of this floor, I thought we could try searching upstairs, and I’ll help you look for it."
"Let’s go."
When they arrived beside the altar, Huo Ling spoke to them. "Hey! This temple is my ho, so I know the whole area. I told you there’s nothing mysterious here, so you can stop looking for it."
"Don’t mind us and enjoy your ti." Zhang Fei [5] hurriedly led Luo Yunxiao upstairs.
Huo Ling shook her head. "He’s too stubborn, Master."
"Just let him be, Ling’er." Feng Yao looked at her seriously. "Ling’er, I think you can use your fla fragnt to reactivate this altar, and—"
"I said no!" Huo Ling snapped at Feng Yao, but she then hugged her. "I already said I’ll accompany you until the ti cos, so please don’t force , okay?"
