Chapter 721 Returning to the Immortal Cultivation World, Son of an Old Friend 29
The male cultivator was not wearing the sect's disciple uniform, nor was he wearing a monastic robe. Instead, he was wearing mortal silk clothes. If one could not tell his cultivation level, one would only think that he was the young master of a wealthy family in this mortal world.
Judging from the way they were interacting, the female protagonist Yuqin hadn't realized the other person's true identity. She was blocking the man behind her and said arrogantly to a gorgeously dressed woman opposite her: "Even if you are a princess, you can't just forcibly seize a man. Is there no place for reason in this mortal world?"
Xiao Yun twitched her lips when she heard this. She glanced at her apprentice and felt relieved. Although they both had the halo of the heroine, fortunately her apprentice was not that naive, otherwise she would have to worry so much.
This one sentence exposed his identity, which is really unbelievable.
Obviously, the princess, whether she was a female supporting role or cannon fodder, had not been dumbed down. She understood immediately, and after easing the unhappy look in her eyes, she said with a smile: "Miss, you are too kind. This princess just saw that this young man looked kind, and wanted to ask his name to see if he was the person I knew. I didn't intend to do anything else.
Since you don't want to reveal your name, forget it. Let's go home."
The latter sentence was addressed to the guards and maids following behind. They all responded "Yes" in unison. Then the group headed in another direction in a mighty manner.
However, no one except Xiao Yun noticed that a hint of cruelty flashed in the princess' eyes when she turned her head.
It seems that this is not only a character with lines, but may also be an important female supporting role with follow-up.
"Don't be afraid, Master Gu. I have martial arts skills to protect you. Even if she is a princess, she cannot bully others openly. Even if her father is a prince, there is still the emperor who is in charge."
Xiao Yun: What an innocent little girl. She doesn't even know the saying "The sky is high and the emperor is far away". This is obviously the princess's fiefdom. If she wants to kill someone, not only the emperor but even her father won't care.
Of course, the heroine may know that she is just relying on her status as a monk and thinks she can handle it on her own.
The male cultivator raised his eyebrows, and his eyes changed from being cold to amusement. Was he interested?
As expected, she lived up to her heroine's halo and hooked up with someone so easily.
Wait! Xiao Yun narrowed her eyes and carefully looked at the male cultivator again, then glanced at the red string of marriage tied between them. She thought to herself, haha, it turns out that the male protagonist is here. She was wondering how she got them to the lower spirit world.
Now that he knew the reason, Xiao Yun didn't plan to stay here. Why waste time if there was no benefit? If he was curious about the plot, he could just ask the old man Tiandao.
She turned to Xiao Zhumeng and said, "Then let's go back. Yaoyao and the others have all come out and are waiting in the upper spiritual world. I can introduce you to my fellow tribesmen."
After saying that, he took her torn through space and left the lower spiritual world, and went straight back to the square of the Nine-tailed Sky Raccoon Clan, where he saw Yaoyao and the others were all there, and there were two more demon kings.
They are all friends of the same age as Xiao Yun, and were the heroes who followed Xiao Yun before. One is called Ao Shi and the other is called Zhan Tian.
Of course, these childish names were given to themselves by them during their middle school years. It can be said that Xiao Yun had an influence on them as well. She was still young at that time and could only wander around the tribe. When she was bored, she started telling stories to her friends.
She talks about all the novels collected in her space. Romance stories with melodramatic ethics are not suitable, so she talks about those with the theme of Long Aotian. Of course, the protagonist is gender-changed, but that doesn't stop them from imagining themselves as the protagonist.
Maybe the impression was too deep, so after they transformed, they gave themselves this name. The demon race is quite casual in naming, and the adults in the family had no objection, so the name was decided.
The two of them had already learned from other tribesmen that Xiao Yun had returned, and had chatted with Yaoyao and the others for quite a while. Now they both regarded themselves as Yaoyao's uncles and gave him a lot of gifts.
"Xiao Yun! You're finally back. We've talked about you so much over the past ten thousand years. Don't you feel itchy in your ears?"
Zhan Tian spoke first. He was no longer the middle school boy he used to be, but he still looked full of energy. It was obvious that he had lived a good life over the years, at least he hadn't encountered any setbacks.
Ao Shi looked a little haggard. Although he greeted her with a smile, there was an unconcealable sadness between his brows.
Xiao Yun was not shy and asked directly: "What's going on with you? Why are you so bitter and resentful? Tell me about it. What if I can help you? Since we are childhood friends, I will definitely help you.
Of course, even if I can’t help, it still makes me happy~”
Ao Shi was somewhat touched at first, but after hearing what happened next he couldn't help but roll his eyes at her. This girl hadn't changed at all and was still so irritating.
But he did feel much better, so he told her about his troubles.
In fact, to put it bluntly, he was still trapped by love, but it was not love, but family affection. His human mother later gave birth to another child, who was a pure human.
Although he would visit his mother from time to time before, he had never seen his younger brother. It was not because his mother deliberately separated them, but because his younger brother was taken to live with his biological father.
It is said that he has good talent, but he is worried that following his mother will delay his training. Although his father's sect is not a big one, he has some status in the sect, which can provide him with better resources for training.
This was originally good. Both children were taken care of by their father, and she could visit them anytime she missed them. Now that the children have grown up, they will take the initiative to visit her and send her cultivation resources to help her advance and maintain her lifespan.
But just five months ago, the father of the child suddenly wanted to find a Taoist partner, but he didn't expect that the female cultivator he found was an evil cultivator. She was not attracted to the father of the child but to the child.
To be precise, he was attracted by Ao Shi's younger brother's spiritual roots. His younger brother's spiritual roots were mutated wood spiritual roots. In addition to spiritual energy, they could also absorb the essence of the sun, moon and trees for cultivation. His cultivation progressed much faster than others, although not by a thousand miles. There was no bottleneck in his advancement, which was incredible.
However, Ao Shi's brother's father didn't know this and was happily preparing for the wedding ceremony. The woman took advantage of his son's unpreparedness and kidnapped him. When his father couldn't find her, he realized that he had been deceived.
His own cultivation level was not low but not as high as that woman's. Moreover, that woman had used some secret technique to block the whereabouts of the two of them, and they could not be found using blood tracking techniques.
There was really no other way, so I remembered that the child's biological mother had a powerful ex, so I thought of asking her to ask the ex for help. Even if the ex couldn't help, she still had her own tribe.
So Ao Shi's mother came to ask for help. Ao Shi and his father were willing to help, but they tried and it was useless. They even asked the clan leader Wei Jin for help, but the result was the same.
During this period, Ao Shi has been helping his mother run around with this matter. He also asked Tian Jizi, who is good at divination in Tian Xuan Sect, for help. He only said that the person is still alive, but he couldn't calculate the specific location. Now several months have passed, and he doesn't know how his younger brother is doing, or whether his spiritual roots are still there.
Xiao Yun: This is such a coincidence, it falls into her area of expertise. Her bloodline tracing technique with the help of the retrospective mirror is more effective than theirs. As long as she is still in this world, she can find it for sure.
"Do you have any of your brother's belongings in your hands? Let me help you take a look."
Ao Shi's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, my mother left some essence and blood for me."
As he said that, he took out a thumb-sized bottle from the space magic weapon and handed it to Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun called the retrospective mirror into his sea of consciousness, took the bottle and opened the lid. A drop of essence and blood floated out and hovered in the air.
She closed her eyes, made a hand gesture, and finally put two fingers together and wiped them in front of her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, a golden light flashed in her eyes, and then a series of images appeared on the mirror in her sea of consciousness.
Xiao Yun waved his hand and printed out the image directly using the brain wave printer in the space, and then handed a stack of paper to Ao Shi.
"This is where your brother is, but I've never seen him before, so I'm not familiar with it. Can you tell me where this is?"
Ao Shi flipped through the paper in his hand with a look of amazement. The image on it was extremely realistic and in color, just like a static picture on a photo stone.
However, he didn't have time to be curious about these things. After seeing the environment where his brother was, he said with some surprise: "Looking at the surrounding environment, this should be Luoyue Valley, but there are some differences. Luoyue Valley doesn't seem to have so many caves. And these patches of land, why do they look so much like spiritual fields?"
Zhan Tian was also looking at the pictures nearby, then frowned and said, "This is indeed Falling Moon Valley, but it should be larger than we knew. There is an isolation formation inside that we haven't discovered yet."
"What is Falling Moon Valley? Is it a newly appeared secret place?"
Xiao Yun asked curiously. She had never heard of such a place when she was there.
"Falling Moon Valley is not a secret place. It is a valley that was merged into the Jingxuan Continent. It got its name because there is a crescent-shaped lake in it. When you fly over it, it looks like you see the moon falling into it.
However, the reason why everyone knows about that place is because there is a tomb of a fallen powerful person there, which was also his personal cave during his lifetime. Some people have inherited the legacy and picked up spiritual treasures there, so it can be said that seven thousand years ago, cultivators flocked to it.
However, no matter how abundant the resources are, they can't withstand the plundering of countless people over thousands of years. No one went there four thousand years ago. Even low-level cultivators know there's nothing there. Even the medicinal herbs of some value have been picked up. I didn't expect that evil cultivator to hide there, and judging by the caves, there's probably more than one."
When I heard about the portable cave abode of the fallen great man, I immediately thought of where it was. "Your brother shouldn't have had his spiritual roots extracted by someone."
After hearing Xiao Yun's words, Ao Shi looked at her in confusion, but he felt relieved because of his trust in her.
But just as he was about to let out a sigh of relief, he was interrupted by Xiao Yun's next words.
"Someone has taken a fancy to his body and is about to possess it."
"What!... Could they be the remnants of the Xuanyin Sect? No wonder those cultivators couldn't find them, so they hid there!"
Speaking of possession, Ao Shi immediately thought of the Xuanyin Sect that had been causing trouble for hundreds of years. That evil sect had killed many talented cultivators in the upper spiritual world.
Demon cultivators and devil cultivators were not possessed by them, mainly because their souls could not merge, especially the demon cultivators. Not only would they die together when their souls were controlled, but they also all had clans, so if their bodies and souls were not the same, they would be discovered immediately.
Xiao Yun nodded, "That's right, when I was in the Middle Spirit Realm, I killed a cultivator from the Xuanyin Sect who was in the Fusion Stage, and also wiped out some of the families they bribed and controlled.
A piece of news was received from the head of one of the families, that the remnants of the Xuanyin Sect were hiding in the portable cave of a fallen powerful person.
It seems to be the Falling Moon Valley. They are using an isolation formation to hide their tracks. Your brother has a mutant wood spiritual root and is gifted, making him a perfect target for them to possess."
Ao Shi clenched his fists, his face filled with anger. "These bastards actually dared to touch my relatives. I'm going over there to rescue them and give them a thief a beating while I'm at it!"
Xiao Yun stretched out his hand to stop him, "Wait a moment, tell Aunt Jin, we'll go together."
"I heard it. You guys go ahead. If you can't handle it, send me a message. I will also greet the sect."
Wei Jin appeared in front of them and said that this was, after all, a matter for human cultivators, and even if they didn't contribute, they had to remember the kindness of the demon clan.
Xiao Yun also meant this. It is not her style to do good things without leaving a name. She has to let everyone know.
Then he took Ao Shi, Zhan Tian, Yao Yao and Xiao Zhu Meng and set off for Luoyue Valley.
If others are not good at fighting, they can just stay in the tribe and go out and play with the tribe members.
When he arrived at Luoyue Valley, Xiao Yun felt a subtle isolating force on the eastern mountain wall of Crescent Lake. The powerful man was probably already a half-step immortal, that is, a wandering immortal. No wonder the cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage did not notice this barrier.
Xiao Yun directly tore a hole in the barrier. Yaoyao and the others then discovered that the mountain wall in front of them was actually fake. Behind it was a large flat land with spiritual fields cultivated on it, exactly the same as what Xiao Yun had printed out before.
Xiao Yun tore the hole in the barrier wider and asked Yaoyao to lead them in. She entered last, and when she let go, the hole in the barrier returned to its original state.
Everyone stood by the spiritual field and used their spiritual sense to explore the surroundings. The surroundings were eerily quiet. Those people from the Xuanyin Sect were either out or they discovered them and hid themselves.
As their spiritual senses extended, a group of people emerged from underground beside the spiritual field. There were men and women, old and middle-aged, young and old. All of them had sinister eyes and stared at them straight.
"Hmph, I didn't expect that someone would find their way here! Now that you're here, just stay." An old man in a black robe who was in the lead said coldly.
Xiao Yun looked at the man. He was at the Tribulation Crossing Stage, but his life span was nearing its end. His soul was black. He had no idea how many sins he had committed, and his body was contaminated with evil spirits.
