Why are those two coming along as well?

Ye Feng was puzzled, but given the urgency of the situation, he didn't ask further questions. Even Man Ling'er, who would usually leap at the sight of Ye Feng, was obediently waiting by the side for departure.

Old Meng didn't waste any time. Once everyone had gathered, he handed each person a communication tool, the [Spirit Communication Jade]. If they encountered danger or found Li Shouzhuo, they were to crush the jade, and everyone within a ten-mile radius would receive the message. Without further ado, the group headed toward the Tianyun Back Mountain.

As they reached the edge of the Profound Qi Barrier of the Mountain Protection Array, Black Ball was already waiting there. In a search and rescue mission like this, it was indispensable. After a month apart, its strength seemed to have grown. Ye Feng waved it onto his shoulder, and the group set off once more.
