Li Yan didn't notice that when Zhao Min heard he also only knew of one way to leave the Forsaken Continent, her eyes flickered slightly, but she immediately returned to normal.
Zhao Min's red lips parted again.
"I, on the other hand, have found some other ways that might be feasible. They are just too dangerous, and we don't know where the final destination leads. However, they probably don't require the protection of a Nascent Soul cultivator. It's the 'God's Road' of the Black Demon Clan. It's a strange area where the Black Demon Clan invades other realms, a place where they are constantly trying to open up passages to other planes. The crevice at Devil's Cliff leading to the Desolate Moon Continent should be located there. Back then, when those Demon Lords and Demonic Soldiers squeezed through the crevice, they didn't need a high-level cultivator's protection!"
"What are the specific details of this 'God's Road'?" Li Yan asked with curiosity.
Immediately, Zhao Min detailed the information she had found to Li Yan. The more he listened, the brighter his eyes became.
"To think such a place exists. The Black Demon Clan's 'Realm-Breaking Pearl' is truly unparalleled. Although that place is the territory of the Black Demon Clan and still fraught with unpredictable danger, if we can obtain more information about the 'God's Road' and make all the necessary preparations, it's not impossible to enter!"
At the same time, he was somewhat thankful that Zhao Min was able to enter a super sect like the Sacred Demon Palace. Information of this level was definitely not something a cultivator like him could find out.
According to Zhao Min, she was only able to access these jade slips with the special permission of the Supreme Elder, which showed how high the level of secrecy was.
"I will try my best to find out more information for you in the near future. If you think it's feasible then, Junior Brother, then go ahead and do it."
Zhao Min nodded and said with a frown.
Hearing this, Li Yan was stunned.
"Senior Sister, are you not planning to return to the Desolate Moon Continent?"
Hearing his words, Zhao Min's expression dimmed for a moment. She had originally thought that Li Yan would also be able to find other ways to leave the Forsaken Continent, but he too only knew about that cross-realm teleportation grand formation.
She immediately smiled again.
"If there's no immediate way to teleport away, even if we are prepared, with a Spirit Transformation cultivator's Divine Sense, it can cover almost the entire continent. And I'm not sure if they have placed a tracking imprint on me. At that time, it would just be the two of us going to our deaths together."
She stated her reason.
If the "God's Road" was a viable escape, it was still the territory of the Black Demon Clan. For Li Yan to sneak there alone would be a near-death experience, let alone bringing along an uncertain factor like herself.
The terror of a Spirit Transformation cultivator was not something they could fathom. In front of a Spirit Transformation cultivator, they couldn't even be considered ants.
When Li Yan heard this reason, he smiled and looked at Zhao Min.
"Senior Sister, don't worry about that. At that time, they will not be able to detect any trace of your aura!"
Hearing this, Zhao Min was stunned, but she was also an extremely intelligent person and immediately thought of something.
She had once been thrown into a mysterious space by Li Yan. Even under the crushing pressure of the barrier between the two realms, it had failed to harm her in the slightest.
But... they were facing Spirit Transformation level cultivators, and two Supreme Elders of the Sacred Demon Palace at that, top-tier cultivators among the Spirit Transformation stage.
Could Li Yan's spatial magical treasure really block their Divine Sense, and even a tracking imprint?
"Are you... saying..."
Zhao Min glanced towards Li Yan's waist. She didn't see any spatial magical treasure on him, only three storage pouches, and no Spirit-Storing Pouch.
Back when Li Yan was unconscious, she had taken care of him for so long and had never found any Spirit-Storing Pouch on him. She had had many speculations about it back then.
"It's the place you've been to before!"
Seeing that she had guessed it at once, Li Yan also said something that only the two of them could understand.
'Could it be that the spatial magical treasure in his hand was also refined by a Spirit Transformation stage Artifact Refining Grandmaster?'
Only a spatial magical treasure refined by a grandmaster of that realm could possibly prevent the Supreme Elders from detecting it.
Seeing Li Yan's confident look, Zhao Min, who knew him well, understood. He rarely spoke, even less than herself, and had never made empty boasts.
"Are you saying... it can really be shielded..."
A trace of hope appeared on Zhao Min's face. She was hoping to get another confirmation from Li Yan.
"It really can. Trust me!"
Li Yan nodded with a smile. That was a spatial magical treasure refined by True Lord Qianchong. Any Spirit Transformation cultivator in this realm, compared to True Lord Qianchong, was no different than how the two of them appeared before a Spirit Transformation cultivator.
'So, Junior Brother obtained such a great fortune. Was it a gift from that Martial Uncle Gu who was hiding on Little Bamboo Peak?'
Zhao Min immediately thought of Gu Jiuqi, that powerful existence whose incarnation alone could contend with a Mid-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator from the Demon Clan.
But she didn't press Li Yan for details. She just needed an answer. Although she hadn't personally tested if it could really shield against a Spirit Transformation cultivator, Zhao Min still chose to believe Li Yan's words.
For a moment, waves surged in her heart. This worry had actually been lingering in her mind for many years, impossible to shake off.
She had originally planned to wait until she had the ability to contend with Spirit Transformation cultivators before returning to the Desolate Moon Continent.
That was why she had been bitterly cultivating the "Heavenly Demon White Jade Plate" day and night. She didn't care how long it would take her to reach that step.
But for the sake of going home, she would never give up the obsession in her heart.
"Now I still need Senior Sister to find out news about leaving the Forsaken Continent. Otherwise, I could hide you inside right now."
Li Yan gently shook his head. It was truly not easy to meet with Zhao Min.
"Let's find a suitable way back first!"
Zhao Min naturally knew that they didn't even dare to try now. Who knew if those two old monsters had left some kind of imprint on her.
Once they sensed her aura disappear, she would not be able to come out again to help Li Yan investigate, and could only stay in that mysterious space for a long time. Everything would have to be shouldered by Li Yan alone.
Zhao Min looked at the starry sky outside.
"I have to go back. Here are some voice transmission talismans. If there's anything, you can send me a voice transmission directly. If I have any new information, I will also notify you as soon as possible."
As she spoke, she flipped her fair hand, and a dozen or so voice transmission talismans appeared. These were specific voice transmission talismans.
As long as Li Yan used them, these voice transmission talismans would ignore the restrictions of the Sacred Demon Palace and fly directly back to Zhao Min's cave residence.
Except for a few people in the Sacred Demon Palace who could intercept them, even someone with Shanggong Changge's cultivation would be completely unaware. These were items bestowed by the Supreme Elder.
However, in order not to dissatisfy Zhao Min, even the two Supreme Elders would not easily probe her actions during her normal cultivation and life.
At least, Zhao Min could sense this from her twenty-plus years of life in the palace and the attitude of the two Supreme Elders towards her. Otherwise, how would she dare to come and see Li Yan.
However, her doing so still carried a certain degree of danger. One could never be too careful.
But for now, there was no better way for the two of them to communicate more safely and secretly.
Li Yan didn't say much and reached out to take the voice transmission talismans. The two of them couldn't have too much contact now, so having these would be much more convenient.
Next, the two tacitly agreed on a set of secret codes that only they could understand, to ensure that even if the voice transmission talismans fell into someone else's hands, the content could not be easily deciphered.
After doing all this, Zhao Min's delicate black eyebrows raised slightly.
"By the way, the Heart-Entangling Twin Gu can be taken out now!"
The two of them had now met, so the Heart-Entangling Twin Gu naturally had no other use.
Upon hearing this, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Li Yan's face.
"I think leaving it is quite good. Twin flowers blooming, life and death intertwined. No matter where you are, I can know if you are safe or not. Unless you think I will implicate you, then let's take it out."
Zhao Min was stunned at first, then a blush suddenly appeared on her peerlessly cold and beautiful face. Although there were no candles in the room, with their eyesight, the night was no different from the day.
"What nonsense are you talking about, 'life and death intertwined'? Then... then there's no need to take it out!"
With that, Zhao Min's figure flickered and disappeared from the room. Li Yan, smelling the lingering fragrance, had a rare gentleness emerge in his eyes, but the light in them grew even more determined.
Just then, Zhao Min's clear and pleasant voice sounded in his mind.
"Your name may be common, but it's really nice to hear!"
Li Yan was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, but then he smiled silently.
Earlier, when recounting his experiences in recent years, he had told Zhao Min that he had settled in Falling Star Valley, and his name was "Zhang Ming"!
A common surname and name on this continent that only Zhao Min could understand the meaning of...
Zhao Min's figure transformed into a wisp of light smoke and flew towards the halfway point of the main peak. Just as she reached the halfway point, she felt several Divine Senses sweep towards her.
Zhao Min immediately revealed her figure. In her hand was a white token carved with an ancient demon god, which she gently shook.
Those few Divine Senses swept over the white token, and after seeing Zhao Min's appearance clearly, the Divine Senses instantly disappeared without a trace.
Zhao Min's face was cold as she stepped into the restriction passage that had already opened, wide enough for only one person to pass through.
As soon as she came out of the passage, just as she was about to fly towards her cave residence on the back mountain, a clear voice came from the side.
"Senior Sister, what a coincidence to meet you here. It's so late, are you also just returning from outside?"
Immediately, a slender white figure appeared not far from Zhao Min. It was a handsome young man.
He was holding an ancient scroll, dressed in white that was whiter than snow, with long purple hair draped over his back. He was looking at Zhao Min with a smile. It was Dongli Qing.
Zhao Min's figure, which was just about to take flight, paused. An boundless sense of disgust rose in her heart, but her expression remained unchanged.
"So it is Martial Uncle Dongli. Do you need this junior for something?"
Although her words were polite, anyone could hear the extreme distance in her tone.
Dongli Qing's expression likewise remained unchanged, still full of a heart-stirring smile.
"Senior Sister is still so formal. How can there be a Martial Uncle here, hehehe... Oh, I also just returned from outside. I didn't expect to run into Senior Sister Zhao here. Are you out to buy things, or..."
"Since Martial Uncle Dongli has no other business, this junior still has matters to attend to and will not disturb you!"
Zhao Min did not answer Dongli Qing's question. Instead, after a bow, she flew straight towards the depths of the palace.
Watching Zhao Min's curvaceous figure quickly disappear, the warm smile on Dongli Qing's face slowly vanished, replaced by a cold and gloomy expression.
'You're avoiding me like this. It seems you didn't take my previous proposal to heart at all. You, who rarely leaves your residence, going out at night... could it be you're hooking up with someone else...'
He had always wanted Zhao Min to become his Dao Companion, and the elders of his branch had been urging him about this matter for many years.
But this Zhao Min was impervious to all his advances. She almost never left her cave residence and did not interact with anyone. Twenty-odd years had passed, and Dongli Qing had only met Zhao Min four times, including today.
Even today's meeting was only because he had personally arranged for people to wait in some of the places Zhao Min frequently passed through.
But by the time his disciple sent him a voice transmission, Zhao Min had already left the Sacred Demon Palace. That disciple did not dare to follow Zhao Min.
Now in the palace, anyone who knew of Zhao Min knew that she was the disciple most valued by the two Supreme Elders. She was not someone they could afford to provoke.
