“Okay…” Zhao Guang nodded gloomily. Although he didn’t want to owe the Inspector a favor, Su Han was indeed the best person to deal with Qin Shaoyang.

“Please go with Hao Ren, Elder Xingyue.” he turned to Xingyue.

“Yes!” this female cultivator bowed without seeming like a girl at all.

“Elder Lu, Elder Xu, please take Zhao Kuo back to the Dragon Palace. General Hu and General Sun, lead your armies…” Zhao Guang recovered from his panic and started to arrange things in an organized manner.

Without wasting any time, Xingyue grabbed Hao Ren and headed somewhere on her sword in a flash.

The speed of the sword was extremely fast, and Hao Ren tried to keep his balance on the narrow sword.

However, since Xingyue grabbed onto his arm like a clamp, it wouldn’t be easy to fall even if he wanted to.

Maybe since she was extremely anxious, the sword flew faster and faster. Hao Ren who was in the front found it challenging to stay on.

“Don’t worry. This speed is within your limit,” Xingyue said coldly behind him.

Hao Ren thought that her tone sounded the same as Su Han’s. It never occurred to him that Su Han was brought up by no one else but Xingyue.

When Hao Ren was still confused, the sword suddenly dropped down to the city. It was so fast that it actually looked like a flash of light, and none of the mortals noticed Hao Ren and Xingyue.

They flew into Su Han’s apartment through the window. Su Han was cultivating, and she noticed the change and immediately walked out of her cultivation room with a sword in her hand.

“Who is it!” she shouted.

Her expression changed when she saw Hao Ren and Xingyue. Su Han slightly bowed to Xingyue and said, “Master!”

Hao Ren was surprised to learn that Xingyue was Su Han’s master. He took a closer look at their faces and found the resemblance.

“You have already left East Ocean, and you are now more powerful than me. There’s no need to bow,” Xingyue looked at her and said, “I’m here today to ask you for one favor. Zhao Kuo failed his Heavenly Tribulation, and his life is in danger now. To save him, one of the main ingredients is the 1,000-year Seven-Colored Snow Lotus. It only grows on the Sky Mountain which is located in the northwest. Since Qin Shaoyang is guarding that region now, we hope that you can make a trip there with Hao Ren.”

“Ok,” Su Han agreed without any hesitation.

“The East Ocean owes you a big one!” Xingyue jumped onto the sword and disappeared by the window.

Su Han turned to Hao Ren in her pajamas. “Let’s not waste another minute and get on our way!”

“Ok!” Hao Ren nodded in agreement.

Su Han grabbed a long trench coat and pulled it over herself. Then, she whipped out her white jade sword and made it float in the air.

She grabbed Hao Ren and walked onto the sword.

The white jade sword enlarged in the air, and it was broad enough for Hao Ren and Su Han to stand on.

Boom! It broke through the window and headed northwest at a fast speed.

It felt so cool to fly on a sword!

Hao Ren wished that he had a sword of his own. But since he was cultivating the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll, it could create tens of thousands of sword energies, and he didn’t need a sword at all!

Su Han, standing in front, kept her mouth shut. Hao Ren had to lightly grab onto her arm from behind to prevent himself from falling off.

The sword was as fast as lightning. Since they were within the thin clouds high above the ground, the mortals in the city could only see a slight flash in the sky at most. They wouldn’t be able to see two people standing on a sword in the sky.

“You must keep Zhao Kuo’s failure a secret,” after a while, Su Han said abruptly.

“Um,” Hao Ren nodded as he circulated the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll to keep the coldness away.

If this information were to get out, West Ocean would have a huge reaction! The East Ocean without Zhao Kuo, the No.1 Cultivator in the mortal world, wouldn’t be able to withstand a single blow from the West Ocean.

However, the most important thing right now was to save Zhao Kuo’s life. Other things could wait. From the look of it, it seemed like Su Han wouldn’t be able to stick her hand into the battle between East Ocean and West Ocean.

The best she could do was to save Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi’s lives.

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! A few more flashes went by them.

These lights suddenly circled back, and shout sounded, “Who is trespassing Kunlun Mountain?”

“Inspector Su Han is passing by due to an emergency!” Su Han raised a small golden banner.

Shoo! Shoo! The flashes backed off from blocking them.

Su Han sped up and passed by the mountains at high speed.

The white Sky Mountain slowly appeared in Hao Ren’s view.

Su Han slowed down the sword to land.

Boom!

A white energy sphere appeared in front of their sword.

It was the Protection Array Formation of the Northwest Sky Mountain! It was the Northwest Earth-Elemental Dragons’ turf!

Water-Elemental Dragon Clans ruled the areas near the oceans, rivers, and lakes while the inner land was typically Wood-Elemental and Earth-Elemental Dragon Clans’ home.

They couldn’t exceed the Water-Elemental Dragon Clans in terms of the number of members, but they weren’t less powerful!

Su Han took out a piece of paper from her ring. She poured her Nature Essence into it and threw it into the sphere.

The paper turned into a ray of blue light and disappeared.

Without saying anything, Hao Ren stood behind her as he knew that this was her voice transmission notes. If she needed to take care of some matters for herself, she could have barged in as an Inspector. However, she was here for the East Ocean, and doing that could displease the local dragons.

A moment late, a few elders in earthy yellow robes flew over. “Inspector Su Han, welcome! We apologize for not welcoming you sooner!”

“No need for that,” Su Han said directly, “I’m here to get some of your local specialties – Seven-Colored Snow Lotus.”

The elders looked at each other and asked, “What age do you need? We could prepare some for you if it’s not a big amount.”

Su Han turned to Hao Ren.

Hao Ren stepped forward on the broad sword and said, “We need six 1,000- year Seven-Colored Snow Lotuses.”

The elders gasped at what Hao Ren had said. They looked at each other before saying, “We had three of those, but Inspector Qin Shaoyang was here not long ago and asked for two of them. So, we only have one left.”

Su Han sighed coldly as she thought to herself, “Qin Shaoyang started to act as a tyrant as soon as he was assigned here.”

Hearing her sigh, the elders thought that she wasn’t happy about what they said. They immediately explained, “Inspector Su Han, 1,000-year Seven-Colored Snow Lotuses are indeed very rare, and we do only have one left. But since you and Inspector Qin Shaoyang are colleagues, maybe you can borrow them from him for the emergency?”

Hao Ren thought, “Three 1,000-year Seven-Colored Snow Lotuses should be just about enough to save Zhao Kuo’s life. But that little Daoist Zhen probably won’t cooperate.”

He then said to the elders, “How about this. You guys can show us the way to the karst cave, and I’ll go get the lotuses myself.”

Hearing this, the elders looked at each other again, not knowing how to respond.
