"Scram!"

Hearing Ye Tianchen's teasing words, Huo Xianer's face turned red, and she replied irritably with just one word. Ye Tianchen, however, just smiled indifferently. Regardless of anything, after this battle, they could be considered friends who shared true camaraderie, especially since Huo Xianer had helped him multiple times in critical moments. Ye Tianchen still remembered this friendship!

"Alright, I still have things to do. What about you?" Ye Tianchen asked Huo Xianer.

"I have to return to the Fire God Sacred Land. I've been out for a long time, and I'm afraid our people are very worried. I need to go back and report my safety!" Huo Xianer thought for a moment and said.

"Alright, then. Until we meet again. I will definitely visit the Fire God Sacred Land, so don't worry. If this Fire God Gourd truly belongs to your sacred land, I'll persuade my friend to return it to you, just not right now." Ye Tianchen said seriously.

"Hmm... well... you be careful. The Xinyang family, the Ding Sect, and the Wang family are very powerful in the Ancient Martial World of Penglai. You've obtained the exotic treasure, the God-beating Whip. This news will definitely spread, and they won't let you go easily. You must be extra cautious!" Huo Xianer said with some concern.

"Don't worry. It's not that easy for these three traditions to catch me. Goodbye!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

"Goodbye!" Huo Xianer nodded and said.

Watching Huo Xianer leave, Ye Tianchen thought for a moment, then headed towards the outskirts of the Original Restricted Zone. Now that he had obtained the exotic treasure, the God-beating Whip, he just needed to refine it more. The forces of the Xinyang family, the Ding Sect, and the Wang family had almost all been eliminated in this Original Restricted Zone. At least temporarily, there wouldn't be the danger of being pursued by these three forces. And now, there was really only one thing Ye Tianchen wanted to do, and that was to search for the old fisherman and Xiao Ling. Along the way, no matter where he was, Ye Tianchen never forgot to inquire about the whereabouts of the old fisherman and Xiao Ling, yet there was no sign at all. Where did they go?

"Hey, kid, where do you plan to go?" Little Zhu Yan couldn't help but ask Ye Tianchen suspiciously.

"Of course, I'm heading out. Can't be going in further, can I?" Ye Tianchen replied irritably. Little Zhu Yan was really unreliable, having done so many untrustworthy things along the way and said so many unreliable words, making Ye Tianchen not want to communicate with him!

"Why go out? The deep part of the Original Restricted Zone is where the exotic treasures are. We can still search for them, take a chance!" Little Zhu Yan quickly said.

"Search for treasures? Take a chance? Forget it, you reckless fool. If you want to go, go by yourself. I won't go anymore, definitely not!" Ye Tianchen said irritably.

It was clear that this foolish Zhu Yan still wanted to use Ye Tianchen for his own purposes. There were many dangerous things in the depths of the Original Restricted Zone. There might be some opportunities, but it was too dangerous. The Vermilion Bird, Divine Monkey, and Old Xuan Turtle all came charging out from the depths of the Original Restricted Zone. Most likely, their lairs were in that deepest part, and who knows what other dangers existed there. Venturing into the depths again would be completely reckless, a quest for death!

"You are too gutless, kid. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. Although we're in the depth of the zone, there's still some distance to the real depths. Who knows what's in the deepest part of the Original Restricted Zone? It's definitely worth exploring!" Little Zhu Yan quickly chimed in.

"I'm not going. I won't be fooled by you again!" Ye Tianchen said irritably.

"You... you just won't listen. Right now, that old turtle, Vermilion Bird, and monkey are in a life and death battle. They might be killed by that Human Clan practitioner sealed in the stone. This could buy us some time. Even just taking a stroll through their lairs could yield some good stuff!" Little Zhu Yan said with a sly smile.

It turned out, this cunning Zhu Yan was planning to take advantage of the life and death battles of the Old Xuan Turtle, Vermilion Bird, and Divine Monkey, which might not end for days or nights, to raid their lairs and potentially gather a lot. This fool really dared to think big. But Ye Tianchen couldn't deny that Little Zhu Yan had brains and was bold. However, he was currently very worried about the old fisherman and Xiao Ling. From the moment they entered the Original Restricted Zone, so much time had passed, and he still hadn't found them. Ye Tianchen was increasingly worried, unsure how the old fisherman and Xiao Ling were doing!

"I don't have the mood or time now. I need to find someone!" Ye Tianchen shook his head and said adamantly.

"Hey, you kid... We might even find the Divine Spring Pit, find some Divine Spring Water. Then, the fundamental issue of the two forces in your body might just be resolved!" Little Zhu Yan shouted.

Ye Tianchen ignored this fool. He had already delayed too long. Although he had been fighting, adventuring, and seizing opportunities along the way, he was also searching for the old fisherman and Xiao Ling. Ye Tianchen still felt somewhat guilty. Due to his oversight, the old fisherman and Xiao Ling, two powerless individuals, endured such trials. If they really died, Ye Tianchen knew he would feel very sad and blame himself. Now he had to find the old fisherman and Xiao Ling as soon as possible!

Watching Ye Tianchen ignore him and fly away using Qi Manipulation, Little Zhu Yan was frustrated. He desperately needed Ye Tianchen's help, for in the depths of the Original Restricted Zone lay things he dearly wanted, but his own cultivation had issues, preventing him from quickly growing. Otherwise, he would have dashed into the depths and snatched what he wanted long ago, definitely not waiting until now.

"Hey, kid… Aren't you looking for an old man and a little girl? I know where they are!" Little Zhu Yan shouted at Ye Tianchen.

The next moment, Ye Tianchen appeared right in front of Little Zhu Yan, pounding his small fists onto Little Zhu Yan's head. This fool was too infuriating, clearly knowing a lot, holding onto info yet refusing to speak. It made one desperately want to give him a good beating.

"If you dare to deceive me or lie again, I'll trap you here in the Original Restricted Zone for at least five hundred years!" Ye Tianchen said sternly, glaring at Little Zhu Yan.

Little Zhu Yan shot a fierce look at Ye Tianchen. Clearly, this fool was deeply dissatisfied, yet there was nothing he could do. Encountering someone like Ye Tianchen, who was all about principles, not people, it was Little Zhu Yan's bad luck. He could only bite the bullet and think to himself that once he grew stronger, he would certainly reclaim his dignity and teach Ye Tianchen a lesson he wouldn't forget!

"Honestly, I did see that old man and the little girl heading towards the deeper part of the Original Restricted Zone…" Little Zhu Yan looked at Ye Tianchen and said.

Bam!

Without further ado, Ye Tianchen gave this fool a punch, hitting Little Zhu Yan's head fiercely, then said, "Trying to fool me again, do you really want to be trapped here?"

"Damn it, if you don't believe me, forget it. If you don't go deeper into the Original Restricted Zone, you might never see that old man and little girl again. Think carefully," Little Zhu Yan said angrily.

Ye Tianchen was taken aback. Judging by the appearance of the fool Zhu Yan, it didn't seem like he was lying. But how could the old fisherman and Xiao Ling possibly head towards the deeper part of the Original Restricted Zone? It seemed too unscientific. The deeper you go, the more dangerous it gets. Wouldn't the old fisherman and Xiao Ling know that? Why would they head there?

"I'll believe you one last time. If I don't find the old fisherman and Xiao Ling this time, I'll trap you here on the spot for at least five hundred years!" Ye Tianchen said sternly.

"Don't, kid. Don't trust me, okay? Besides, how can I guarantee that the old and the small are still alive? The Original Restricted Zone is full of crises, and there might be stronger entities that could eat them up. How can you ask me to promise something like that?" Little Zhu Yan said irritably.

Ye Tianchen didn't say anything, but grabbed the fool Zhu Yan and headed deeper into the Original Restricted Zone. Of course, he bypassed the area where Old Xuan Turtle, Vermilion Bird, Divine Monkey, and Qin Kongdao were fighting. Although Ye Tianchen wanted to rush over to see how Qin Kongdao was doing, or even lend him a hand, Ye Tianchen knew very well that with his current cultivation realm, rushing over would only burden Senior Qin Kongdao. He couldn't help at all. Forget about killing Old Xuan Turtle, he couldn't even kill the Vermilion Bird or Divine Monkey. He was just too weak.

"Senior Qin Kongdao, you can't die. I will surely rescue you. Hold on; once I leave the Original Restricted Zone, I will find a way to save you, tell your descendants that you're still alive!" Ye Tianchen earnestly said to himself. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com) for recommendation and monthly tickets.
