Li Hui somewhat embarrassingly slowly let go of Han Xue's hand, but didn't dare to look her straight in the eye.

  Seeing this, Han Xue couldn't help but giggle again. After she finished laughing, her face turned serious: "Li Hui!"

  Li Hui heard the cry and lifted his head, just to see Han Xue's extremely solemn expression.

  "I, Han Xue, swear to the heavens with my soul that I will never reveal even a single word about Li Hui's possession of the Yu Huang Immortal Mansion. If I break this oath, I, Han Xue, will surely suffer the backlash of the heart demon and be destroyed in both body and spirit!"

  Han Xue unexpectedly made the most solemn oath of a cultivator's heavenly soul in front of Li Hui.

  Cultivators defy the heavens in their cultivation, wanting to comprehend and grasp the Heavenly Dao. They make an oath with the Heavenly Dao and their souls, and it will certainly come true, facing the punishment of the Heavenly Dao!

  After Han Xue finished her vow, she felt that something was floating out from the depths of her soul, dispersing in this vast and boundless world.

  Li Hui stared at him in shock as he made such a solemn oath, and after the initial shock, his heart warmed up. Han Xue's actions had indeed dispelled all his concerns.

  "Xue Er!" Li Hui's voice was filled with emotion and gratitude.

  "Hehe, Li Hui, this way you don't have to worry that I'll reveal your secret, but if someone were to interrogate me, then I'd be helpless!" Han Xue finished her oath and instead let out a light laugh, saying the last sentence with some helplessness.

  "Xue Er, don't talk nonsense!" Li Hui heard Han Xue say something about "being searched soul", her eyebrows furrowed slightly, somewhat displeased.

  "Soul Searching Technique" is a vicious and poisonous secret technique commonly used by cultivators, originally invented by demon cultivators, later spread throughout the cultivation world, almost all cultivators understand this way.

  The Soul Searching Technique requires the caster to have a higher cultivation level than the person being searched, otherwise it is easy to suffer from backlash. After searching the soul, all information in the mind of the person being searched will be obtained by the caster, and the person being searched will also die with their primordial spirit destroyed.

  Li Hui had obtained this secret technique from Xiao Shaojun, and naturally knew the evil of this soul-searching technique.

  However, cultivators rarely use the Soul Searching Technique unless they are certain that their opponent is hiding a major secret. Moreover, the cultivator can choose to self-destruct their divine soul before being searched, rendering the technique useless. Unless they encounter an opponent whose strength is too high, leaving no opportunity for self-destruction.

  Taking all this into account, if something like searching for the soul were to happen, it's likely that Xing would be relatively small. If such a situation were to occur, Li Hui would probably be more concerned about Han Xue than a secret.

  "Alright, I was just casually saying it anyway, who would have thought it would be so coincidental!" Han Xue said with a tongue-out expression as she saw Li Hui getting anxious.

  Li Hui's face finally broke into a smile: "Xue'er, don't talk nonsense from now on. Come, I'll take you to see the grand hall of this immortal mansion!"

  This time Li Hui did not take Han Xue's hand again, and the two walked shoulder to shoulder towards the main hall of the immortal mansion.

  ……

  Outside Yuankai Xianfu, the sun had already set at this time, and the night was about to fall.

  In the distance, two beams of light suddenly flew over, and as they drew closer, two flying boats appeared in the twilight.

  It was Xiao Yuqi and Fan Xuanyu who had flown over on their two flying boats, each carrying twenty-five foundation-building cultivators. Worried that the slow speed of these foundation-building cultivators would delay things, Xiao Yuqi and Fan Xuanyu personally took control of the two flying boats' magical instruments to bring these foundation-building cultivators along. In less than half a day's time, they had already arrived at this place.

  "Master, we've rushed all the way here and used our divine sense to investigate along the way, but we haven't found any trace of that thief. Since he's already built his foundation, calculating his speed, even if he didn't sleep or rest for three days, he should be around here somewhere." Fan Xuan said to Xiao Yuanqi beside him.

  Xiao Yuanchi's face was expressionless, and he replied coldly to Fan Xuan's words: "That's right, this route is the easiest way to avoid the influence of Huaxue Valley and Tiangang Gate. That thief originated from Chuzhou and had been in my Lie Tian Sect before, so he should be very familiar with these things." His tone was filled with hatred.

  Indeed, for the geographical distribution of the Chu State Gate, when Li Hui was in Bi Xiao Men, there were these specially recorded jade slips in the gate, and Li Hui also copied a copy.

  "What should we do next? Please instruct us, Master!"

  "Fan Shidi, you and I will each take one side and use our divine sense to search the surrounding dozens of miles. Then let the disciples spread out behind us to conduct a detailed search. I don't believe that thief can fly away!" Xiao Yuqi said coldly.

  Xiao Yuqi and Fan Xuan flew out to the left and right, each responsible for one side. They fully opened their divine sense, carefully scanning the surrounding dozens of miles several times.

  Those foundation-building monks were also scattered nearby, one by one, landing in the mountains and carefully searching, communicating with each other through sound.

  In this way, they almost searched every inch of the area within a radius of tens of miles, and Xiao Yuqi and Fan Xuang used their divine sense to search back and forth several times.

  No sign of Li Hui was found, and Xiao Yuanqi's face gradually became unsightly, but he immediately thought that Li Hui might have already run ahead, so he ordered the troops to continue advancing.

  This time, Xiao Yuqi and Fan Xuan searched the surrounding tens of miles repeatedly after a moment without stopping, continuing to fly forward, leaving behind those who built the foundation disciples slowly checking.

  Xiao Yuqi and Fan Xuan quickly scouted out an area of several hundred miles, but still couldn't find any trace of Li Hui. Both of them were getting anxious, worried that the Foundation Building disciples behind them wouldn't be able to keep up, so they had no choice but to turn back once again.

  After struggling for a whole night, by the time the sky brightened, the Li Tianzong cultivators had advanced hundreds of miles forward. These hundreds of miles almost every inch of land was searched, confirming that there would be no omissions, yet still did not find any trace of Li Hui.

  Xiao Yuanchi stood in mid-air with a gloomy face, his heart filled with unprecedented anger and frustration. It had been over a month since his son was killed, yet not only had he failed to capture the murderer, but the culprit had even managed to escape successfully, strutting away towards Chu State, leaving Xiao Yuanchi helpless and unable to do anything.

  A dignified Golden Elixir Cultivator and the Sect Master of Lie Tian Sect was actually toyed with by a junior who had just established his foundation!

  The people of Lie Tian Sect all stood far behind Xiao Yuqi, no one dared to come forward. Only Fan Xuan was relatively close.

  "Master, I have a guess in my heart, I don't know if it's right to say or not." Fan Xuan said cautiously.

  "Speak!" Xiao Yuanchi said coldly, seeming somewhat impatient.

  "We've been tracking for so long, and along the way, both of us have used our divine sense to investigate. The disciples also carefully searched this place, but still can't find that thief. There are only two possibilities: one is that the thief has escaped far away, and we haven't caught up yet; two is that the thief might have taken a different route." Fan Xuan analyzed.

  Since then, Li Hui's name has been replaced with "treacherous son" by everyone in the Li Tian Sect.

  Xiao Yuanchi's heart moved upon hearing the words, indeed, his rationality had been shrouded by hatred, and this was indeed the best escape route for Li Hui. However, it wasn't certain that Li Hui would take exactly this route, there might be some deviation or he might have taken a different route altogether. But if so, then he must have passed through the territory of Huaxue Valley or Tiangang Gate.

  "Brother Fan, what you said makes a lot of sense. I almost made a big mistake!" Xiao Yuqi solemnly said to Fan Xuan.

  "This is just a guess by his younger brother, please let the elder brother decide." Fan Xuankui did not dare to say more, otherwise if he made a mistake, he would not be able to bear the consequences.

  Xiao Yuanchi hesitated for a long time, and a resolute glint flashed in his eyes: "Fan Shidi, you rush to the Tian Gang Sect and personally pay respects to the sect master of the Tian Gang Sect. Ask the Tian Gang Sect to help search for this thief within their sphere of influence. I will go to the Hua Xue Ku to ask for their assistance. These disciples will stay here to continue searching. After that, you and I will quickly return here."

  Fan Xuan naturally had no opinion on Xiao Yuanqi's decision, and the two of them handed over these foundation-building disciples before flying towards Huaxue Cave and Tiangang Gate respectively.

  As it happens, Li Hui is walking on this very route! However, he coincidentally hid with Han Xue in the immortal mansion and unintentionally avoided the search by the Lietian Sect cultivators. At this time, the Lietian Sect cultivators had already gone hundreds of miles beyond where Li Hui was located and were running ahead of him.

  Xiao Yuqi and Fan Xuan left, these Lie Tianzong foundation-building cultivators naturally did not dare to slack off, still maintaining a distance from each other as they slowly moved forward to investigate.

  ……

  In the Yu Huang Xian Fu.

  That night, Li Hui and Han Xue spent almost the entire time talking, only resting for a short while. However, for foundation-building cultivators, these were not problems at all. After talking through the night, both of them felt extremely happy and relaxed, with their spirits full to bursting.

  They talked all night, opening their hearts to each other like old friends, discussing everything, but carefully avoiding some ambiguous topics, and quickly changing the subject whenever they accidentally touched on them.

  In the immortal mansion, apart from Yuan Hua's bedroom, there were not a few empty rooms. After all, such a large immortal mansion would likely consider things like guest visits during its construction.

  Han Xue and Li Hui ended their long conversation, originally wanting to return to Linshui Pavilion again, but were taken by Li Hui to one of the empty rooms. Although the spiritual energy in Linshui Pavilion was more intense, Li Hui always felt that it could only be considered a backyard of the immortal mansion, and it would be somewhat impolite to let guests stay in the backyard all the time.

  Han Xue did not decline and rested in the guest room.

  "Xue Er, you rest in the immortal mansion first, I'll go out and hurry on my way. When you're rested, I'll let you come out." Han Xue's ear suddenly remembered Li Hui's transmission.

  In fact, Li Hui had already left the immortal mansion and gone outside. Everything in the immortal mansion could still be clearly sensed by him, and he could also communicate with Han Xue inside the immortal mansion through sound transmission. When Han Xue spoke, Li Hui could hear her, but others couldn't hear their conversation.

  At this time, Li Hui was watching Han Xue who was sitting on the couch and cultivating through his spiritual sense.

  Upon hearing Li Hui's transmission, Han Xue felt a warmth in her heart, as if there was also some sweetness, and she smiled slightly before transmitting back: "Then you be careful, I'll go out again later."

  Seeing Han Xue's appearance, Li Hui also had a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth, and after transmitting a few more sentences, he withdrew his mind from the immortal mansion and flew forward with the Purple Electric Sword.

  At this time, the sky was already bright, and the sun slowly rose from the east. Li Hui urged the flying sword under his feet with all his might, and its speed was much faster than when he flew on a sword with Han Xue.
