Waking up again, I found myself lying on a pile of straw, with my hands tied behind my back, and Sang Yan bound next to me.

This seems to be inside a mountain. We are in a cave halfway up the mountain, and there are stone steps outside that lead to the bottom of the cave.

I moved my hands behind me and found that the amulet hidden in my sleeve was gone.

Sang Yan looked at me with a puzzled expression.

"You, Yan An? How did you end up here? You're clearly not..."

Then she seemed to have thought of something, and her face changed.

"Could it be that you are the descendant of Tai Feng they are looking for?"

She looked frustrated and angry, and fiercely smashed the ground.

"It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, they wouldn't have found you."

I had been wondering why Sang Yan, closing her cultivation, would make Yi Jianghan suspicious. Why did Master Mingzhai have to capture her instead of someone else?

It turns out that the heavens concealed my existence, and he needed the special abilities of the Dream Spirit Clan to find me.

The dreams projected by the Dream Spirit Clan are not targeted at a specific person. As long as the screening criteria are given, the dreams will seek out the dreamers on their own.

Sang Yan learned about their plan and chose to send a warning through dreams to the descendant of Tai Feng in order to protect the mortal realm.

He only needed to follow the dream and whoever's dream he entered would be the person he was looking for.

However, this method goes against the natural order and is very difficult to succeed.

If Yi Jianghan carefully investigates the twelve missing immortals, he will discover that they all have some degree of bloodline from the Dream Spirit Clan.

After I figured it out, I smiled at her, reassuring her that she didn't need to feel guilty.

As long as I'm still alive, even without her, they will find a way to locate me.

She was just innocent and implicated because of other people's ambitions.

Sang Yan struggled to sit up and firmly held my hand.

"You can't die here. This whole mountain is an altar. If you die, the Qinglian Lamp will reignite, and then the mortal realm will be in danger."

"I'll transfer my powers to you. Find a way to escape!"

I was stunned.

She was also in danger and had no powers to protect herself. How could she transfer her powers to me?

But before I could object, a strange force flowed into my meridians.

As the power within my body grew stronger, her already pale face became almost transparent, and my meridians were on the verge of bursting.

Just as I was about to reach my limit, she exhausted herself and fainted.

I sat beside her, holding back tears, familiarizing myself with the surging power within me, and contemplating what to do next.

Soon, two figures approached us and led us to the bottom of the cave.
