Chapter 570: Master
Apart from that, there was nothing unusual in the courtyard.
No traces of spiritual arrays remained, nor was there any hint of the ever-present peril of ancient barriers. Not even a single shadow of an ancient beast could be seen. It looked no different from an ordinary mortal courtyard, yet it existed within the mysterious Ziwei Palace.
Qin Sang and the others were all filled with doubt, but seeing how aloof Chenyan remained, none of them dared speak rashly. They had no choice but to bury their questions deep in their hearts.
Just then, a streak of light suddenly flew into the courtyard. Chenyan caught it in her palm and took a glance. Her lips moved slightly as she murmured something, then flipped her hand and sent the light back the way it came.
They waited for nearly a quarter of an hour before a white streak of light approached.
It was Dongyang Bo. Senior Uncle Fengming and Iron Crown had already vanished without a trace. It seemed they had each gone off on their own to search for treasure.
Once Qin Sang and the others stepped forward to greet him, Dongyang Bo waved his hand, signaling them to retreat to the side.
"Lady Chenyan is indeed protective of the younger generation," Dongyang Bo said with a smile, eyes resting on the backs of Qin Sang and his companions, "It’s thanks to your unwavering care that the five of them were brought here intact."
Chenyan let out a cold snort. "Daoist, you said so yourself, without them wielding the five-elemental beast seal during the trial through the celestial array at the heavenly mountain, we’d have no chance of breaking through.

Oh, by the way, earlier when the Spiritual Infant cultivators from both regions gathered to deliberate, many Daoists learned that Shaohua Mountain had gained another Spiritual Infant expert. They were eager to meet you. I’ve helped you avoid the encounter for now but this isn’t a long-term solution. We can’t delay it forever."
Chenyan considered for a moment. "Let’s speak of such matters after we’ve left Ziwei Palace. Will the Sin Abyss’s sudden ambush affect our entry into the heavenly mountain?"
"Not at all!" Dongyang Bo shook his head confidently. "An opportunity like this only comes once in several centuries. Now that we’re already here, how could we leave without trying? After leaving Ziwei Palace, the two regions will surely set aside their grievances and join forces against the enemy. The details can be discussed after we’re out. However..."
