Chapter 109

Ji Tang left the place of inheritance. She returned the same way and flew out from the broken gap in the stone cave. She saw several people sitting in different places in the stone cave, meditating and practicing.

Jitang first went to find Su Jinzhou.

The quiet cave let out a "tsk".

Jitang raised his eyebrows and looked over, only to see Huanmang with one eye open and the other closed.

He used his open eye to secretly glance at Ji Tang. Seeing Ji Tang looking at him, he simply said, "Why don't you look for your brother first when you come out?"

Jitang smiled and said, "Who bullied my brother? Why are you so angry?"

Huan Mang thought that his sister still cared about him very much. She could tell his mood at a glance. Thinking of this, he looked happy. "Who dares to bully me?"

Jitang nodded: "That's right."

As she spoke, she continued to walk towards Su Jinzhou. Huan Mang was angry again before he could be happy for a while.

Jitang felt amused.

He is so old and still fighting about this. If you don’t know him, you would think he is a dragon cub.

Su Jinzhou leaned against the other side of the stone cave, watching Ji Tang coming over, his whole body exuding a confident and noble temperament.

In Jitang's view, this was no different from a victorious peacock fighting, and was no better than her childish brother.

Ji Tang: "Is the Nightmare Clan okay?"

Huan Mang walked over quickly, "I've been watching all day, it's very safe!"

Ji Tang smiled and said, "Thanks to my brother, we will go back after the others finish their training."

Su Jinzhou then said, "We must go back to trace Xuanzong."

Ji Tang asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

Huan Mang said in a strange voice: "Jiu Shuishen is a disciple of Su Xuan Sect, but Ji Tang is not. Why would she go back with you? Of course, she wants to go back to Qing Mang Yan Yue Mountain with me!"

Su Jinzhou ignored him and continued, "Master misses you."

Huan Mang: “…”

He heard Jitang agree, and Huanmang gritted his teeth behind her.

You are so good, Su Jinzhou, you even moved your master out just to let Jitang go back, right?

As soon as these words came out, Huanmang knew that Jitang could not return to Qingmang Yanyue Mountain.

The elders with whom Jitang had a deep relationship were Dragon Lord and Wushu Sect Master. They were both very important people in Jitang's heart, so it would be strange if Jitang did not agree.

Huan Mang had no doubt that Wushu Sect Master missed Jitang. But he felt that Su Jinzhou had some selfish motives involved—Qingmang Yanyue Mountain was his territory, and what about Suxuan Sect? That was Su Jinzhou's hometown.

I spent the whole night in the boat as a guest in Qingmang Yanyue Mountain, and was somewhat constrained by my host Huanmang.

The Immortal Lord and the Nightmare Lord both returned to the Suxuan Sect. The three of them had reached the fusion stage, and anyone targeted by the black-clothed lord would inevitably follow them to seek refuge.

The one who is constrained becomes Huanmang.

Huanmang was really unhappy.

Su Jinzhou: "I will be in seclusion when I return to the sect this time. Huanmang and the others still need your protection."

Huan Mang: “…” He was extremely unhappy, but he had no choice but to hold it in because he was not as strong as the other person.

Ji Tang was surprised: "Why did you suddenly say you wanted to go into seclusion?"

Su Jinzhou said, "When you accepted the inheritance, I reported the matter of the Black Lord to Master. He planned to hand over the sect's inheritance to me."

Huan Mang was shocked.

Cultivation sects also have their own heritage, but some sects have shallow foundations and their heritage is not important. There are only a few powerful sects in the Jiuzhou Continent, and one of them is the Suxuan Sect.

After thousands of years, the Suxuan Sect still stands tall in the world of cultivation. Its profound foundation should not be underestimated, and the sect's inheritance is definitely not inferior to that of the Dragon Clan and the Nightmare Clan.

As for whose inheritance is stronger, there is no comparison.

Su Jinzhou was the most proud disciple of the leader of Suxuan Sect. Huan Mang was not surprised that the sect's inheritance fell on him. What shocked him was that with Su Jinzhou's current achievements, if he inherited the sect's inheritance, how powerful would he be?

He looked at Su Jinzhou and Ji Tang who were talking.

One of these two people has just inherited the Nightmare Clan's legacy, and the other is about to inherit the sect's legacy.

When they stood in front of Huanmang, there were two huge mountains between them, which they could not reach even if they stretched their necks to break.

Huanmang smiled bitterly.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother." Ji Tang said with a smile, and gently tugged at Huan Mang's sleeve. "Brother, will you accompany me back to the sect? I haven't seen Master since the battle with the Nightmare Clan. It's been thousands of years. I miss him so much..."

What else could Huanmang say? His heart softened.

"Go back, you must go back!"

He was unhappy with Su Jinzhou, but he didn't have any problem with Su Xuanzong.

When Huanmang left, Jiuxiao and Jiuyun naturally followed.

Chu Jinhuai showed his classic fox smile, and when no one asked him, he took the initiative to say: "I haven't visited Su Xuan Sect for a long time. I hope I can have the opportunity to meet with the leader of Wu Shu this time."

After he said that, he took out the communication stone and sent a message to Shadow, asking Shadow to prepare a generous gift immediately.

Ji Tang smiled, "Young City Lord, thank you for the expense."

Chu Jinhuai waved his hands and said, "What are you talking about, Lord Yan?"

Jitang: "Since everyone agrees, let's go back to Xuanzong."

After she said this, she thought everyone would agree immediately, but they all looked at Su Jinzhou at the same time.

"What?" Ji Tang was puzzled.

Su Jinzhou smiled gently, "Come out with me and take a look?"

The others seemed to know what Su Jinzhou was going to do and just watched them leave the cave from behind.

Ji Tang followed Su Jinzhou inexplicably.

Su Jinzhou walked out of the cave first, and the moonlight immediately sprinkled on him. He half turned sideways, looked back and said to Ji Tang, "What a coincidence, it's night time now."

Ji Tang was puzzled: "What happened last night...?"

Ji Tang walked out of the cave, and moonlight and dark blue light appeared in front of his eyes at the same time. The bright white and dark blue complemented each other, which was magnificent.

Ji Tang stood there in a daze, she was completely confused for that moment.

It turned out to be a whole Fantasy Valley of Fireflies!

She hadn't seen this scene for a very long time. She was even a little dazed, as if the person standing here was not Jitang, the Nightmare Lord, but Jitang of the Nightmare Clan.

She was still young at that time, and her parents held her hand and brought her here to watch fireflies.

Her father laughed at her, "Other girls are chasing butterflies, but you wait until night to catch insects."

Ji Tang stuck out her tongue, running around in the flickering blue light. When she caught a firefly, she would cover it with both hands, place it in her palms, then move closer, carefully spread her fingers, and look closely.

But nine times out of ten, the fireflies would fly away through her fingers, so she had to try again.

She liked them very much. She said she was chasing them, but more importantly, she wanted to become intimate with them.

Fireflies are timid and will flap their wings and run away at the slightest disturbance.

Every time Jitang pounced on them, he would be extremely careful and move gently, for fear of hurting them.

However, Xue Mei destroyed them and also destroyed the best part of Ji Tang's heart.

Now she saw the beautiful scenery in her memory again, and her whole body was shaking with excitement.

The mountains of Huanguang Valley were once again covered in lush greenery, shrouded in moonlight, a mysterious and profound feeling.

The faint blue light of the fireflies waxes and wanes, adding more dreaminess and haziness to the mountains.

This scene, which only appears in dreams, is actually happening before our eyes.

This grand dream has now come true.

Su Jinzhou came to her side without her knowing when.

Ji Tang finally managed to calm down her inner turmoil. Her voice was trembling with excitement. "Brother, how did you do that?"

Su Jinzhou could see that she was trying hard to suppress the unstable tone of her voice, but the trembling ending still betrayed her.

He said, "It wasn't difficult, just some searching of the mountains."

The Firefly Phantom Lightworm was born in the blood-soaked Ten Thousand Caves Mountain of the Demon Clan. The Nightmare Clan raised it in the Phantom Light Valley. Over the years, the Phantom Light Valley became its later magnificent appearance.

Although the firefly is very timid, the place where it is born is very dangerous and scary.

It took a lot of effort for the Nightmare Clan to bring it back, and they only brought back a few larvae, not as many as they see now.

Those were things that happened before Jitang's father became the clan leader, and she only remembered the general idea.

The only place where you can find Firefly Phantom Lightworms now is the Demon Tribe.

She immediately confirmed that Su Jinzhou had gone to the demon clan.

Considering the area of mountains in Huanguang Valley, it is obviously not enough to search through the fireflies in one or two mountains of Wanku Mountain. I wonder how many mountains my senior brother searched before restoring this place to its former splendor.

——Just searched some mountains.

He said it lightly.

When the demons see the bare, dark mountains, will they be so angry that they become demons?

Well... they are demons.

Ji Tang recalled the looks from the others just now and couldn't help but smile, "Brother and the others are really cooperating with you."

Su Jinzhou remained silent, just looking at the dreamlike beauty in front of them with her, without mentioning anything that Huan Mang had let slip.

They sat shoulder to shoulder in the darkness all night.

The next day, the sky was turning pale, all the fireflies hid in the darkness of the mountains, and the moonlight faded away.

They left the Nightmare Clan.

Jitang removed the soul-stealing spell from his tribe members, and they were completely unaware of any difference during this period.

But it would be a huge surprise for them to see the Fantasy Valley at night.

The group flew to Su Xuanzong on their swords.

This time, the Immortal Venerable took the lead. He led his men into the sect without any hindrance, flew over the outer gate, and soon flew into the inner gate.

All the outer disciples looked up, and no one would connect the Immortal Master with the rule in the sect that "outside disciples are not allowed to wield swords."

Sun Qichou sat in the rocking chair, feeling the powerful spiritual power in the sky that could not be ignored.

He had his eyes closed, and now the corners of his lips curved up as he continued to pretend to sleep.

Several people moved into Qianli Yanbo, and Jitang also prepared to return to her Xiaolingfeng to meditate and adjust.

Su Jinzhou stopped in front of her and said, "You stay here. I'll bring your things over."

It didn't matter where Jitang lived, so he nodded in agreement.

After a night of rest, we boarded the boat and arrived at Xiaoling Peak.

This is Jiu Shuishen’s resting place.

Su Jinzhou didn't care where Jiu Shuishen lived, and he didn't arrange a place for her. She found this small spiritual peak by herself.

Su Jinzhou looked at this drafty place and the half-built stone wall that couldn't block the wind, and he felt extremely bad.

He strode in. There were very few things inside. He could tell at a glance that they were mostly worthless little items.

Just then, he saw the envelope weighed down by the small stone.

The envelope came from Xuanzong's Xin Pavilion, and he recognized it immediately.

Su Jinzhou picked up the envelope. The envelope was uneven, and the words "Senior Brother" were written in a flamboyant style on it.

Since it was given to him, there was no psychological burden in dismantling it.

He couldn't wait to tear open the envelope and take out a shriveled crabapple flower from it.

The crabapple tree was pressed down by a rock, its branches were deformed, and the petals fell to the ground the moment they were taken out of the envelope.

The vibrant colors were gone, the petals had long since dried up and turned a yellowish-brown, and the branches shattered into pieces at the slightest touch, falling to the ground one after another.

Su Jinzhou looked at the envelope and touched it, afraid of missing something else, but there was nothing else in it except this crabapple flower.

Su Jinzhou bent down and picked up all the broken branches and deformed petals, without leaving a single one behind.

He put these back into the envelope and carefully put it into his lapel, letting it touch his chest.

Just as he took back the silver hairpin carved by Jitang, he put it in his arms, closest to his heart.

This is a letter that was not sent at the Spring Flower Banquet.

He was very happy because after all the twists and turns he finally received it.

——Jitang picked this crabapple branch and had already sent the letter to him in his heart.
