On this side, Xiao Tian made up his mind to wait until the initiation ceremony of the Taiyi Sect, no matter what. Meanwhile, Jiang Chen had already ridden the Thunderbird, taking Ji Xuan with him, leaving the Taiyi Sect, soaring through the sky.

The Taiyi Sect was located in the southern part of the Qian Dynasty. To reach the northern capital, one needed to pass through four or five hundred cities, which wasn't too far of a journey.

The Thunderbird flew steadily, estimating that it would take about two days to arrive. Of course, if Jiang Chen used Rainbow Flight, the speed would be faster. However, since they had a mount and weren't in a hurry, why bother with Rainbow Flight?

Ji Xuan was curious, looking down at the cities shrinking below, as well as the wild beasts prowling in the forests between the cities. He couldn't help but feel excited.

Not long ago, he had traveled from the capital to the Taiyi Sect, enduring numerous hardships. As a prince of lower status, and with his mother deceased, he had no guards to protect him, only himself on the road! He had to be cautious of both the ferocious beasts in the mountains and the possibility of bandits at any moment, feeling slightly safer only when entering a city. If it hadn't been for awakening the system by chance and gaining innate strength, he might not have made it to the Taiyi Sect alive!

But now, everything seemed worthwhile! He, Ji Xuan, possessed two "golden fingers" – one was his own show-off system, and the other was his master, Jiang Chen!

Yes, in Ji Xuan's eyes, Jiang Chen had become his golden finger, his greatest support!

Ji Xuan couldn't help but glance at Jiang Chen, who stood on the back of the Thunderbird, hands behind his back, exuding an imposing aura. "Master is indeed master. Just standing like that brings out an imposing aura," Ji Xuan thought to himself, imitating Jiang Chen's posture, as if Jiang Chen were his mentor in the world of showing off.

Just then, Ji Xuan suddenly noticed a battle happening not far away, and he recognized someone involved!

Ji Xuan's expression changed slightly, a hint of anxiety flashing in his eyes. He hurriedly said, "Master, there's a fight down there, and one of them is my maid, with whom I have a close relationship."

"Let's go take a look," Jiang Chen nodded slightly, gently patting the Thunderbird.

With a cry, the Thunderbird flapped its wings and swooped down toward the chaotic battle scene below.

Meanwhile, on the battlefield below, a group of guards dressed in uniform were besieging a young woman in a white dress. This woman was the maid Ji Xuan mentioned, named Ling'er. She had a cultivation of innate sixfold, higher than all the guards, but being outnumbered put her at a disadvantage.

On the outskirts of the battlefield stood a eunuch at the Wandering Sea Realm, standing with his hands behind his back, coldly observing the fight. Behind him were several experts at the peak of innate realm.

As the battle continued, Ling'er, with her innate sixfold cultivation, was superior to the guards, but being outnumbered, she was struggling. The eunuch's brows furrowed slightly. He looked at the sky and released an invisible pressure. He said indifferently to the innate ninthfold experts beside him, "Hurry up, don't waste time."

"Yes!" The experts felt the pressure from the Wandering Sea Realm and hurriedly joined the battle.

With the addition of the innate ninthfold experts, the situation instantly turned around, and Ling'er was overwhelmed. A palm strike from one of the experts landed on Ling'er's back, causing blood to spurt out instantly, rendering her unable to move.

Ropes were thrown, and Ling'er was tied up and brought before the eunuch at the Wandering Sea Realm.

"White Ling'er, speak up. Where did the concubine leave the things for Ji Xuan?" The eunuch chuckled.

"Phooey! You eunuch! Even if you're Ji Pingdao's dog, you're not worthy of knowing Miss's things!" Ling'er spat, her eyes already filled with determination.

"Eunuch?" The eunuch sneered, lifting Ling'er's chin with his finger. He said lightly, "I can't do it myself, but the young men under me are all energetic. White Ling'er, think carefully before speaking. Do you want to be...?"

"Phooey! Eunuch!" Ling'er spat again.

At this moment, she was filled with determination. Even if she was really... she would not betray Miss!

"What a tough nut. Take her away and interrogate her. Let's see if she's still so stubborn after being tortured by so many young and energetic men!" The eunuch's eyes became cold and ruthless.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding guards' eyes lit up. However, just then, a black spot appeared in the distance, growing rapidly visible. It turned out to be a giant bird!

As the giant bird flew, the ferocious beasts in the mountains fled with their tails between their legs, or directly collapsed to the ground, wailing for mercy. With one flap of its wings, the giant bird could flatten a hilltop!

Many mountain bandits panicked and fled, or were swept into the air and fell to their deaths.

"Oh no, let's hide!" The eunuch's face changed drastically as he ordered.

One of the innate ninthfold experts beside him was a bit confused and asked dumbfoundedly, "Master, why are we hiding? Isn't it just a bird?"

Snap!

The eunuch slapped the face of the young man beside him, roaring, "This is a Dao Foundation Realm monster! If you don't want to die, hide quickly! Whoever dares to reveal a hint of aura, I'll kill him!"

With these words, everyone on the scene was shocked. The guards turned pale and hurriedly hid under the trees, circulating their techniques, holding their breath and concentrating, the scene becoming extremely tense. Each one could only hear the pounding of their own heartbeats!

Dao Foundation Realm!

This was the realm of the supreme ancestor of the Qian Dynasty! The foundation of the top ten sects!

How come such a terrifying Dao Foundation monster hadn't been heard of before?

Although the eunuch was scared and intimidated at the moment, he remained calm. He reassured his subordinates, holding a pose and saying softly, "Look at you like this. Don't worry, it's probably just a passing Dao Foundation monster from the Qian Dynasty. It's not likely to be targeting us."
