Although Ye Lanxin brought Ning Beichen news about Chen Xingyun, it was old news and couldn't confirm if Chen Xingyun had returned to the Mortal Realm.
However, for Ning Beichen, if his master was the Chen Xingyun mentioned by Ye Lanxin, then he must have returned to the Mortal Realm.
"So my master is this powerful! I never heard him mention it."
Ning Beichen felt a sense of wistfulness.
In his memory, his master had always appeared as a melancholic middle-aged man, speaking little and often standing alone on mountaintops, lost in thought.
When Ning Beichen was younger, he didn't understand his master's state, thinking him to be a pretentious literary man wallowing in self-pity. But now, Ning Beichen believed he had a better grasp of that state, or perhaps, that affliction.
What Ning Beichen couldn't fathom was how his master, after falling into that so-called abyss, ended up here, took him as a disciple, and then left without a word.
Did his master return to the Mortal Realm for revenge?
Ning Beichen couldn't figure it out, but at least he knew his master's identity, which made him very happy.
"Ye Lanxin, tell me where that mysterious ancient path leading to the Mortal Realm is?"
Ning Beichen said to her.
"You... you want to go to the Mortal Realm? No, it's too dangerous there now. I barely managed to escape from there myself. You absolutely must not go."
Ye Lanxin hurriedly said to Ning Beichen.
"Just tell me where it is. I'll consider whether to go or not."
Ning Beichen replied.
"Ning Beichen, it's not that I don't want to tell you. The Mortal Realm is in chaos right now, everyone is in danger. Many people have already fled the Mortal Realm. You absolutely must not go."
Ye Lanxin continued to try and dissuade Ning Beichen.
"Ye Lanxin, tell me the location. I have my reasons for going."
Ning Beichen wouldn't let this chance to get news of his master slip away.
"Alright then, I can tell you the location, but honestly, you really shouldn't go."
Ye Lanxin didn't insist further and told Ning Beichen the whereabouts of the ancient road leading to the Mortal Realm.
"Thank you. This information is very important to me."
Ning Beichen thanked her.
"You're... you're welcome. After all, you saved my life."
Ye Lanxin said, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"A debt repaid is a debt settled. We owe each other nothing, so you don't need to feel indebted to me."
Ning Beichen told her.
"That's not what I meant. I just don't want to see you go to your death."
Ye Lanxin said, lowering her head.
"Don't worry, I'm not reckless. I won't just go rushing to my death."
Ning Beichen assured her.
"As long as you know what you're doing, then I won't try to dissuade you anymore."
Ye Lanxin said to Ning Beichen.
After all, he wasn't a child, and they didn't have any substantial relationship, so she couldn't say too much.
Ning Beichen nodded, then asked her, "Where do you plan to go next?"
"I don't know. I think I'll find a place to live."
Ye Lanxin replied after some thought.
"Well, if you encounter any difficulties, you can come find me. Here's my phone number and address."
Ning Beichen gave her his phone number and address, assuming, of course, that he would still be here at the time.
"Then thank you."
Ye Lanxin struggled to stand up and bowed to Ning Beichen.
"No need for such formality. We have other matters to attend to, so we'll be going now. See you again if fate allows."
Ning Beichen said to her.
After all, she was a powerful expert from the Mortal Realm, not a weak woman. Ning Beichen didn't need to worry about her.
"See you again if fate allows."
Ye Lanxin echoed to Ning Beichen.
Ning Beichen nodded, then walked out with Luo Yingying, and Ye Lanxin also came out to see them off.
"Take care."
"You too, take care."
After Ning Beichen finished speaking, he and Luo Yingying instantly shot towards the sky, soon disappearing like two shooting stars.
Seeing this, Ye Lanxin stood frozen, unable to recover for a long time.
She hadn't expected that the man whom she had perceived as very weak had now surpassed her by so much!
And the most astonishing thing was, how could this have happened in such a short time? Even in the Mortal Realm, it would be impossible.
It wasn't clear how much time had passed before Ye Lanxin finally snapped out of her daze, her heart still churning with disbelief.
"Ah Da, he's very powerful and outstanding, isn't he?"
Ye Lanxin said.
The leopard spirit nodded hurriedly. It was grateful to Ning Beichen for stopping that hateful woman from killing it.
But then it remembered it hadn't lodged a complaint yet.
However, seeing the scene of the woman charging into the sky just now made it abandon any thought of complaining. It had to admit that its master was probably no match for this wicked woman.
Meanwhile, Ning Beichen and Luo Yingying were already flying through the sky on their swords. Having learned about the Mortal Realm and receiving news of his master, Ning Beichen lost any inclination to linger. He quickly found the correct direction.
A few hours later, Ning Beichen and Luo Yingying appeared at the location of the Lubans Pharmaceutical Company.
Without a word, Ning Beichen, wielding his sword, directly eliminated the people inside the pharmaceutical company.
As for whether it was cruel or not, Ning Beichen felt that they had provoked him first, so why should he be polite to them?
However, Ning Beichen did leave a few people behind. After interrogating them to find out Frank's whereabouts, he sent them on their way.
"Ning Beichen, I can see you're anxious. Are you eager to go to the Mortal Realm?"
Luo Yingying asked him.
Ning Beichen nodded, not denying it.
"Chen Xingyun is my master. Entering the Mortal Realm is very dangerous, and I'm worried about his safety. I have to go find him."
Ning Beichen had no intention of hiding his thoughts from Luo Yingying.
"I'll go with you."
Luo Yingying did not try to persuade Ning Beichen not to go, unlike Ye Lanxin.
"Sect Master, it's too dangerous..."
Before Ning Beichen could finish speaking, Luo Yingying interrupted him.
"You promised to help me get revenge. That great demon might be in the Mortal Realm."
Luo Yingying looked at Ning Beichen, her gaze sharp as a sword.
Ning Beichen's brow twitched a few times, and he finally said:
"Alright, I promise you."
The reason Ning Beichen agreed was that he wasn't afraid of perishing, which was also why he dared to go to the Mortal Realm to find his master.
As for the person named Frank, neither Ning Beichen nor Luo Yingying paid him much mind. They would simply find him and kill him.
Approximately two more days passed, and Ning Beichen and Luo Yingying appeared on an old street. In front of them stood a domed building, and Frank was expected to appear inside tonight.
However, Ning Beichen didn't know the exact time of Frank's arrival, so they decided to wait inside and see.
