Luo Qingyu gently patted his back and comforted him softly, “Don't cry, Xiao Yu. I didn't expect you to grow so much after not seeing you for a few years.”
Luo Qingyuh's eyes were red, and he choked out, buried in her shoulder, “Sister, Xiao Yu really missed you so much.”
Luo Qingyu replied softly, “I missed you every day too, but now is not the time for a proper reunion. It'll be trouble if they have accomplices catch up to us.
“How about I take you to a safe place first, and then you can slowly tell me everything that happened over the years?”
Luo Qingyuh nodded vigorously and replied in a low voice, “Okay, Sister. What should we do with these people? Should we kill them?”
Luo Qingyu waved her hand gently. “No need, watch me.”
With that, she raised her hand, retrieved a packet of Corpse-Melting Powder from her storage ring, and sprinkled all of it onto the unconscious hidden guards.
The moment the powder touched their skin, a sizzling sound of corrosion rang out. Before long, the four of them dissolved into a pool of bloody water.
Watching this, Luo Qingyuh felt a painful pang in his heart. His sister must have suffered a lot during her years away; otherwise, why would she carry such a sinister thing with her?
Luo Qingyu turned her head, and meeting his eyes filled with heartache, she tapped his forehead in amusement. “Stop overthinking. Let's go.”
With that, she reached out to grab Luo Qingyuh, and the two of them leaped onto the Somersault Cloud together.

Meanwhile, in Yunshui City, the personal disciples of the Five Sects sat together, discussing clues for this mission.
Song Hansheng lightly tapped the table and spoke first. “I plan to check out the Demon Realm's side.”
Everyone wanted the Chaos Bead, and among the group of personal disciples, obtaining the bead would come down to individual capability.
Instead of spinning their wheels and wasting time here, it would be better to head over to the demon side to gather information.
Su Zhuo hesitated. “Senior Brother... shouldn't we avoid running around aimlessly? What if we run into danger?”
Miaomiao thought about it and agreed. “That works too.
“But is there anyone else who wants to go explore the demon territory?”
Ye Qinghan stood up immediately and said in a deep voice, “I'm going too.”
Ming Xuan fanned himself with his folding fan, looking at the two death-wish candidates, and couldn't help but advise, “Are you two really planning on going?
“From what I know, there are at least seven or eight Golden Core Realm cultivators on the demon side. If you go, you'll probably get captured.”
With a look of disdain in his eyes, Ye Qinghan spoke, “The reason your Changming Sect always comes in last in every tournament is because you're as cowardly as mice.”
Sitting nearby, Mu Zhongxi instantly bristled and yelled, “What? Is your Wenjian Sect looking for a fight?”
Why did he have to resort to personal attacks during a normal conversation? That was crossing the line!
Seeing this, Xue Yu hastily reached out to hold Mu Zhongxi back, advising in a low voice, “Junior Brother, don't be impulsive. Since they want to go, just let them.”
Ye Qinghan's expression turned angry. “Does your Changming Sect want to die?”
Ming Xuan chuckled, waving his folding fan. “Oh my! You're so bad, actually drawing your sword to scare people. I'm so scared.”
Seeing Ye Qinghan stepping forward to draw his sword, Xue Yu quickly took out Ming Xuan's transmission jade slip and initiated a video call to Luo Qingyu, who connected almost immediately.
A clear and threatening voice immediately blasted from the jade slip: “Ming Xuan, you'd better have something important to say. Otherwise, once we get back to the sect, hmph, you know what's coming.”
The room instantly fell dead silent as everyone looked up to stare at the glowing projection screen.
Ming Xuan snatched the transmission jade slip and gave a dry laugh. “Hahaha, Fourth Junior Brother, it's actually nothing major. I just wanted to ask if everything is alright on your end.”
Hearing this, Luo Qingyu retorted coldly, “Alright? Try being hunted by a Nascent Soul cultivator and five Golden Core cultivators, and see if you can still say you're alright.”
Everyone on this side of the screen instantly widened their eyes, and Ming Xuan blurted out in shock, “You... who is hunting you?”
Ye Qinghan stared intently at the screen, his face filled with tension and worry.
“I'm not sure yet. I haven't figured out where they came from.”
Just then, Luo Qingyuh, who was sitting to the side sprinkling Tendon-Relaxing Powder, spoke up, “Bro, I've finished sprinkling the powder.”
Hearing a strange young boy's voice coming from the jade slip, Ming Xuan peered closely at the screen, only then realizing that a youth was sitting beside Luo Qingyu.
