After learning that the escaped immortal was close to his location, Yuan said to Xi Meili, "Let's stop here. Something else came up."
Worried that the immortal might leave before he could finish the scrolls in this place, Yuan decided to deal with the immortal first, then return to the Pavilion of Knowledge to finish the rest if possible.
"Huh? What came up?" Xi Meili lifted her head to look at him with a raised eyebrow.
Since Dong Ye spoke to Yuan through Divine Sense, she had no idea about their conversation.
Yuan gave her a quick brief of his situation, "There is a place called the Nine Heaven Eternal Grotto that imprisons some of the most dangerous immortals in the world. A few of them escaped recently, and one of them managed to enter the Fourth Heaven. That immortal happens to be close by, so I am going to kill them real quick."
"What?! An immortal?!" Xi Meili was shocked speechless by such information.
