Afterward, Die Qingwu promptly spurred the Luan Chariot, turning into a streak of azure light that quickly vanished into the horizon.

Not long after their departure, Yu Yuan also arrived belatedly.

Ao Yi only needed to pass through a portal each time he changed scenes.

With each passage through that portal, an invisible restriction was also cast upon him.

This restriction would not harm him and would even protect him from being locked onto by the Divine Thoughts of others.

However, this meant that Yu Yuan could easily lose track of his target.

Fortunately, he had made preparations in advance to break through multilayered restrictions, which allowed him to precisely locate Ao Yi's position.

"Are you all okay?"

As Yu Yuan inquired, he simultaneously released his Divine Thought to probe Huo Ling'er's Primordial Spirit and body, only relaxing when he saw that they had not sustained any damage.

As for Fairy Yun Hua, he was unable to do the same.

After all, despite their familiarity, there were still some improprieties.

Hearing his question, Fairy Yun Hua hastily expressed her thanks, saying she was unharmed.

Huo Ling'er, on the other hand, pursed her little mouth, almost on the brink of tears from her grievance.

When had she ever felt such indignity in all her life?

But upon further thought, she realized that her distress would only cause more worry for others, so she held back her feelings and put on an unnatural smile again: "What could possibly happen to us? If it weren't for the Moonlight-like barrier being so solid, we would have escaped on our own a long time ago..."

As she continued, her voice dropped again, apologetically adding: "It's my fault for trusting that woman's lies, causing you, junior brother, to release the Golden Crow Crown Prince again!"

"Don't worry, he won't escape from my Five-Finger Mountain!" Yu Yuan said as he ruffled Huo Ling'er's head, smiling: "But you do indeed need to be more cautious. Even Ao Yi is better than you in this regard."

Having said that, he turned his head to look at Ao Yi and flicked his hand, causing two orbs of Spirit Light to fly before Ao Yi.

"You did well this time. Consider these two treasures my reward to you."

"Thank you for the treasures, Master!"

Ao Yi quickly expressed gratitude, excitedly catching the two orbs of Spirit Light in his hands.

The next instant, his right hand held a seven-foot-two-inch long scarlet ribbon embroidered with patterns of the sun, moon, stars, and clouds along with the Golden Crow and Jade Rabbit in golden thread, while in his left hand appeared a lustrous golden ring, pure in color and perfect in shape.

These two treasures were the Chaos Sky Silk and Qiankun Ring, originally taken from the hands of a Spiritual Pearl child during the negotiations between the Three Sects.

To Yu Yuan, these two treasures were inconsequential in his vast collection, and had been neglected in a corner gathering dust until now, conveniently given as a reward to Ao Yi, both his servant and charioteer.

He thought for a moment and then took out the Dragon and Phoenix Treasure Shuttle that he had previously snatched from Vina Yaga and handed it to Huo Ling'er.

Considering his current Realm, aside from top-grade Spiritual Treasures, the power of the majority of Spiritual Treasures was less than that of his casual punch. It was better to use them for protecting those close to him rather than letting them collect dust.

Not to mention, the Dragon and Phoenix Treasure Shuttle was exceedingly sharp; even the body of an Ancestor Witch like him could be penetrated when Vina Night wielded it at full strength.

If he had given this treasure to Huo Ling'er earlier, perhaps she really would have been able to escape on her own.

"Okay, you two head back to the Penglai Holy Realm first, I still need to recapture Virochana Immortal."

Yu Yuan took the three Golden Hoops from Ao Yi, then placed Huo Ling'er onto the Chasing Sun Chariot and punched open a spatial rift leading directly to the East Sea.

Upon hearing his instructions, Huo Ling'er's eyes revealed a longing, but she didn't plead to accompany him as she used to, evidently learning and maturing from her recent experience of being captured.

Yu Yuan watched the Chasing Sun Chariot disappear into the spatial rift with a bit of satisfaction, but then his expression immediately turned cold and indifferent.

With Huo Ling'er and the others sent off, he was finally free to take decisive action!
