Wen Yu followed Mo Xuan across most of Lingyun City until they arrived at a secluded small house, where Mo Xuan finally stopped.
"We're here, young master."
"Is this the place?"
Looking at the unremarkable, dilapidated little house in front of him, Wen Yu couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, young master. This is the teleportation array leading to the sixth layer of the Heavenly Palace and the branch of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance."
Wen Yu opened his mouth but fell silent, while Tang Haofei nodded thoughtfully.
"Not many people know about this place, right?"
"Previously, it was just me and three trusted subordinates."
"There's no defensive measures or heavy guards. If you don't betray, no one would ever think that this shabby little house is actually a vital connection point between the fifth layer of Lingyun City and the sixth layer of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance Headquarters. This is what they call 'dark under the lamp.' Not bad."
Tang Haofei sighed in admiration, giving Wen Yu an inexplicable feeling of awe—though, for Wen Yu, what did it matter? He truly didn't have the leisure to delve into these complicated matters.
Cutting off Tang Haofei, who seemed ready to say more, Wen Yu directly said to Mo Xuan, "Let's go. We need to head to the sixth layer of the Heavenly Palace; we can't keep the people up top waiting!"
...
The arrangement inside the house was ordinary, and apart from thick dust, it resembled an ordinary poor person’s residence.
It wasn't until Mo Xuan opened a cellar door and stepped inside that Wen Yu noticed a similar entrance resembling a food cellar in the corner of the small house.
Following Mo Xuan into the underground, what came into view was a miniaturized teleportation array, intricate with complex runes.
"This is it, young master."
After Mo Xuan spoke, he took three steps back, indicating his stance.
This time, as Wen Yu entered the sixth layer of the Heavenly Palace, Mo Xuan would not accompany him.
As the city lord of Lingyun City, the heart of the fifth layer, Mo Xuan was not idle like Tang Haofei.
Wen Yu felt a little regret about this; having a "familiar" like Mo Xuan by his side would significantly enhance his safety and speed up his acclimatization to the environment—of course, this was under the assumption that the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine remained aloof.
And now, the situation was that the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine could no longer maintain its aloofness.
"Let him go first; I have some things to discuss with you."
The spiritual fluctuation of the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine reached him, and Wen Yu immediately reacted, turning to wave goodbye to Mo Xuan.
"You can go down first; you've worked hard this time."
"Of course, young master."
Mo Xuan remained respectful, bowing to Wen Yu before turning and exiting the cellar.
...
"The situation in the sixth layer of the Heavenly Palace is different from the fifth layer."
"The core of the sixth layer is Sky Howling City, while the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance branch is merely a stronghold located 108,000 miles away from Sky Howling City."
"The old master arranged the general plan, but the details were handed over to the Heavenly Dao for full management. I don't know why the Heavenly Dao sent you to the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance branch, but it doesn't seem to be the best choice."
General plan...
Details...
Handed over to the Heavenly Dao for full management...
If Wen Yu guessed correctly, before he entered, the Heavenly Dao was merely a dead person.
From the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine's few simple words, Wen Yu instantly grasped the essence of this journey to the Heavenly Palace—he was being led by the nose according to the plans and arrangements left by the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor.
However, Wen Yu had already understood this after consuming the Spirit Resonance Elixir.
The key still lay in what the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine had just said.
"Is there any problem with this?"
"A big problem!"
...
"The Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance is the official organization of the Immortal Heroic World, but its predecessor was merely a loose force formed by countless sects of the Immortal Heroic World in resistance to the demonic clan."
