When Chu Feng returned to the Great Thousand Upper Realm, those who had exited the Dark Night Divine River together with Lord Yu Wei and Chu Feng had already been dismissed. Only Song Yu Wei remained.
Song Yu Wei's intentions were clear — she wanted to follow Chu Feng. From now on, wherever he went, she would go.
Upon his return, the first thing Chu Feng did was take out the scroll left to him by the mysterious figure and show it to Saint Light White Brow and the others.
After all, the members of the Chu Heavenly Clan, along with many of his friends from the Ancestral Martial Lower Realm, were all imprisoned at the location depicted on this scroll.
If he could find the place shown on the scroll, he would most likely be able to find his clansmen.
Saint Light White Brow, and especially Heavenly Daoist Nian, were people of vast knowledge and experience. Perhaps they would know where the location on the scroll was.
Unfortunately, even after examining the scroll, neither Saint Light White Brow nor the others could identify the place.
However, Chu Feng did not feel disheartened by this.
He had only asked them to add a sliver of hope, but he had never placed too much expectation on it.
He had long guessed that the location on this scroll would not be easy to find.
Chirp chirp—
But suddenly, a white bird of light flew in from the distance, heading straight for Chu Feng.
Its speed was incredibly fast at first, but as it drew close to the group, it abruptly slowed down, then began circling around Chu Feng in graceful arcs.
This was a messenger formation — an array designed to deliver messages.
However, this particular messenger formation was of a rather advanced variety. Its speed not only surpassed that of Martial Immortal realm experts, but it could also enter ancient teleportation formations on its own, enabling it to carry messages across the Heavenly River.
As long as it had locked onto the recipient's position, it could pass through virtually any barrier unless it encountered an exceptionally powerful defensive formation.
"The Nine Soul Sacred Clan — they have news?" Saint Light White Brow asked upon seeing the bird of light.
Back when Chu Feng had departed the Nine Soul Sacred Clan, he had asked them to help investigate his grandmother's whereabouts. The Nine Soul Sacred Clan's Clan Chief had given him an imprinted talisman, saying that in the future, if he had news but could not find Chu Feng, he would use a messenger formation to deliver the message.
If a white bird of light ever found Chu Feng, it would carry his message.
This bird of light emanated the exact same aura as the imprinted talisman the Nine Soul Sacred Clan's Clan Chief had given Chu Feng.
So the moment they saw the bird, Chu Feng and the others all knew it was a message from the Nine Soul Sacred Clan's Clan Chief.
As for how the bird of light had found Chu Feng — it had tracked the imprinted talisman.
"Let me see." Chu Feng extended his palm, and the bird of light willingly landed on it, transforming into a small white orb of light no bigger than a fingernail.
Chu Feng pressed the orb to his forehead, and it immediately merged with him. The message recorded within the bird of light flooded into his mind as well.
It turned out that the Nine Soul Sacred Clan's Clan Chief felt he owed Chu Feng. Having been entrusted with a task, he saw this as an opportunity to repay him.
But the Nine Soul Sacred Clan's abilities were limited, and they had been unable to uncover any information about Chu Feng's grandmother for the time being.
After all, even before Chu Feng had made the request, they had been searching for her on their own — and had found nothing.
So the Nine Soul Sacred Clan's Clan Chief had gone to seek out Song Chang Sheng. After all, Song Chang Sheng was a man of extraordinary abilities — perhaps he would have some leads regarding Chu Feng's grandmother.
Under ordinary circumstances, even if the Nine Soul Sacred Clan's Clan Chief sought an audience with Song Chang Sheng, he would not have been granted one.
But this time, after the Clan Chief explained the purpose of his visit, Song Chang Sheng not only received him, but also shared with him a lead concerning Chu Feng's grandmother.
