The spirit foxes were badly hurt, and even if they were transformed into mirror ghosts by the devil's energy, they did not have much attack power.

When Ning Ning was still sleeping soundly in the daytime, He Zhizhou, Xu Ye and Ye Zongheng accompanied Qiao Yan to search all over the secret realm, gathering many foxes in the village, waiting to send them to the outside world when the secret realm was opened.

When she opened the door and saw Ning Ning and Pei Ji, Qiao Yan was slightly stunned, then smiled softly, turned aside and made way for them: "Come in and sit down."

There were not many spirit foxes who survived the war, let alone those who had been entangled by the devil's energy for several years and could survive in the harsh environment until today, which was even rarer.

They found more than 20 in total and placed them in different courtyards.

There was also one in the room next to Qiao Yan.

"Pei Ji and I just ran into Senior Brother Ye Zongheng, and heard that Miss Qiao had found her real mother."

Ning Ning sat on the wooden chair, her heart finally settled down: "I wonder how Miss Qin is doing?"

Qiao Yan, like Pei Ji, had a dark color under her eyes, obviously not getting enough sleep.

She looked haggard, her eyes were red and swollen, she must have cried hard not long ago, but at this moment, a soft arc appeared at the corner of her mouth, no longer deliberately frowning and pretending to be mature like before.

"Fortunately, nothing serious happened."

She spoke softly, rarely without guard, revealing a childish look similar to that of other girls of the same age:

"Although my fellow tribesmen have lost their memories and minds, they seem to have retained some of their former instincts. Most of them are active near the village. When I found my mother, she was not far from here, near the Sunset Cave, which was where she used to take me most often." Although

the appearance of her fellow tribesmen had changed drastically, after all, they were family members, and there were so many clues that she couldn't recognize them.

Qiao Yan paused and looked at Ning Ning with admiration in her eyes: "Miss Ning Ning, the fox lineage can see the light of day again, thanks to you for identifying the array eye and breaking the water mirror. I don't know how I should repay you..."

"No, no!"

Ning Ning was shy, and was especially not used to being praised directly.

She felt a little embarrassed and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "I am very happy that Miss Qiao can leave this place with her tribesmen. I don't need any reward." She thought of something after she finished speaking, and continued to ask seriously, "I heard that Young Master Yan Qing was injured. I wonder if he is okay now?"

Hearing his name, Qiao Yan smiled again, "Thanks to the medicinal herbs that the young Taoist gave me, I pulled him back from the gates of hell. Now Yan Qing has recovered most of the way and is asleep in another house."

So many twists and turns happened in the secret realm, but fortunately the ending was not too bad.

The fox tribe finally saw the light of day and had the chance to leave the secret realm. As long as they could get rid of the evil spirits and take care of themselves with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and appropriate herbs, they would surely be able to recover to their original state one day. The demon cultivators were severely injured, and the demon king Qi Han was imprisoned in the village and could not escape.

Ning Ning breathed a sigh of relief, thinking of the "good and evil will be rewarded" said by the demon cultivator before she died. Inexplicably, she also thought of Chen Lubai whom she had seen in the pagoda.

She was very similar to Qiao Yan. They were both innocent and carefree little girls who were spoiled by their parents. Later, they grew up little by little and had to experience hardships and separation. They were forced to mature overnight and shoulder responsibilities that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

And similarly, they both did very well.

If Chen Lubai were still alive, he might have the same personality as Qiao Yan.

Ning Ning smiled softly, her voice a little low: "Master Yan Qing must also value Miss Qiao."

"As long as he doesn't tell me in person, I'll pretend I don't know."

Qiao Yan's gloomy eyes finally showed a faint smile, and she hummed: "I've thought about it. When Yan Qing regains consciousness, I will continue to stick to him as usual and see when he is going to tell the truth." As

she spoke, she glanced at Ning Ning and Pei Ji, and her smile was somehow mixed with a bit of cunning. She shook her ears and continued with a distressed look:

"Miss Ningning, I really don't understand why there are people like this - they care about you to death, but they don't say a word, and only show a little concern at the most dangerous moment."

She couldn't sleep last night, but she saw these two walking back together in the middle of the night, and the atmosphere was quite ambiguous.

Pei Ji raised his eyes coldly and happened to meet her meaningful gaze.

"Oh my, Pei Xiaoji, you've been seen through."

Chengying laughed, sighed, and shook his head vigorously: "Even the little fox can see that the cat is jealous, your acting skills are not very good."

Ningning thought she was just complaining that Yan Qing was a taciturn person, and smiled when she heard it: "This kind of personality is actually not bad, quiet and gentle, very reliable."

Qiao Yan's eyes lit up, and her furry fox ears shook even more happily: "Really? Miss Ningning, do you like this kind of personality?"

Ningning was stunned, not quite understanding why she was so excited. She glanced lightly and inadvertently saw Pei Ji who was silent beside her.

This kind of personality... seems a bit similar to him.

It's just that Pei Ji looks a little more fierce than Yan Qing.

"I can't say I like her..."

The moment she said this, Pei Ji's eyes dimmed, and he clenched his fists subconsciously.

"No, Ningning! Actually, you like her, you like her!"

Chengying was confused, like a sad old mother who looked at her son being dumped: "Pei Ji, hold on, don't cry! Don't look so sad, otherwise they will definitely find out! I'll go and calm down first..." "

But she's still cute."

Ningning lowered her head, not knowing what she remembered, and smiled with a hint of smile: "If you want to say you like her, look at the person." Chengying

hiccuped out of fear.

The middle-aged uncle was sincere and stood motionless in Pei Ji's consciousness. His mood changed instantly and he started to smile foolishly: "Pei Xiaoji, she said you are cute. Hehe, cute, hehe."

Pei Ji lowered his long eyelashes and let the broken hair on his forehead fall in front of his eyes. He did not dare to look at Ning Ning. He replied coldly in his heart: "She just meant that kind of personality. Don't be self-indulgent." Cheng

Ying was unhappy and muttered softly: "Besides you, who else around her has such a weird personality? Maybe when Ning Ning said this, she was secretly thinking of you in her heart."

He said this without confidence, and Pei Ji naturally did not believe it. He was caught off guard and felt that the little girl next to him turned her head and glanced at him, and added in a brisk voice: "It's good to be like my little junior brother."

Pei Ji: ...

Chengying: …

Chengying ascended to heaven on the spot, his spirit transformed into a fat Maitreya Buddha, with the corners of his mouth rising to the sky, shoulder to shoulder with the sun;

Pei Ji still had a stern face, and lowered his head deliberately, letting his black hair fall forward a little, covering his ears and temples, so that she could not see his red ears.

"Pei Xiaoji."

Chengying flew back and forth, and her shadow spun into a gorgeous flower, blooming in his heart. At last, she murmured with great affection: "Be restrained, your heartbeat is too fast and too heavy, my ears are almost hurt."

"By the way!"

The two of them were uneasy because of a sentence, but Ningning, the culprit, knew nothing about it, and continued to talk with Qiao Yan with a smile: "After leaving the secret realm, do you have any specific plans?"

Qiao Yan's smile faded, and she hesitated: "Although I have made up my mind to take my people to the outside world without magic energy to cultivate them well, but..."

She didn't elaborate on the rest of the words, but Ningning already knew it well.

The demonized foxes were brutal and bloodthirsty, and it was difficult for a little girl like her to control them. The more serious problem was that Qiao Yan knew nothing about the outside world, and once she left the secret place where she had lived since she was a child, she would not be able to find a suitable place to live.

She couldn't take so many mutated members of the tribe to sleep on the street.

Ning Ning frowned after hearing this, and was about to think about whether there was a feasible plan, when she suddenly heard an extremely familiar male voice in her mind.

"What are you hesitating about? Of course you should come to my Xuanxu Sword Sect!"

It turned out to be her master Tian Xianzi.

Qiao Yan and Pei Ji also obviously heard it, and their expressions changed. Only Tian Xianzi kept talking, not thinking there was anything wrong: "My Great Xuanxu has abundant spiritual energy, and has all kinds of rare treasures. There are also many cute little disciples who can help take care of it. It is simply a perfect place!"

"Miss Qiao, don't listen to this guy's nonsense!"

Another clear young voice came out, ruthlessly squeezing out Tian Xianzi: "My Liuming Mountain is a holy place for immortals, and the disciples are all elegant and obedient, unlike the rough people of the Xuanxu Sword Sect who can only draw swords and fight. In addition, we have sufficient financial resources and a lot of rare medicinal materials, which is most suitable for recuperation."

Qiao Yan was startled by so many voices that seemed to be haunted by ghosts. Before she could react, she heard a clear female voice, like the chirping of an oriole:

"And me, and me! I'm Lin Qian from the Beast Sect, sister Qiao Yan. There are so many docile and cute spirit beasts in the Beast Sect, and there are the most demon cultivators like you among all the sects. As long as you come to our place, it's guaranteed to be just like going home!"

Tian Xianzi sneered: "Oh my God, there's no way a woman who is hundreds or thousands of years old would call a teenage girl 'sister', right?"

Lin Qian: "Shut up!"

Unlike the WIFI that young disciples can only communicate face to face, the elders' voice transmission is fully covered by 5G, and can be transmitted at any time as long as the other party's location is determined.

Ning Ning was stunned after listening. She finally found a brief gap to talk and immediately asked, "Excuse me...what's going on now?"

"After a unanimous discussion, we decided to help."

Tian Xianzi answered quickly, "Such a thing happened in the secret realm. If we still harden our hearts and don't help, can we still be teachers?"

Qu Feiqing chuckled and said, "The one who is discussing with us is Master Ji, you little brat, just shut up for now."

Then Ji Yunkai laughed heartlessly, and his childish voice was as clear as a bell: "Hahaha, yes, yes, little brat, shut up."

Tian Xianzi was silenced by the three masters at the same time and was silent for a while.

"When it comes to hatred towards the Demon Clan, our sects will definitely not be lighter than anyone else."

Qu Feiqing spoke slowly, her soft and gentle female voice was like a gurgling stream, showing a bit of intoxicating tranquility under the moonlight: "The Linghu Clan used the whole family's strength to severely injure the Demon Lord. No matter who they are, they are worthy of admiration, and they are even more worthy of the preferential treatment after leaving the country."

"The Xianjia sect has gathered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and all the elders are proficient in exorcising evil spirits. If you live here, you will get twice the result with half the effort."

He Xiaochen said: "No matter which place Miss Qiao Yan chooses, the other sects will provide more help and will never treat the Linghu clan badly."

Qiao Yan never expected that there would be such an unexpected joy, and her eyes suddenly turned red as her heart surged: "Many... many thanks."

"Don't cry, little girl. There's something I haven't told you yet."

Tian Xianzi suddenly appeared again, just like the elusive mole in the whack-a-mole game, and asked mysteriously, "Do you remember what you are going to do later?"

Qiao Yan tried hard to stop crying and took a breath blankly, "Go to various places in the secret realm and continue to look for other tribesmen."

"Yeah, but there is a very serious problem, right?"

The little fox nodded in confusion: "The secret realm is too big... I don't know if I can find them all."

Tianxianzi chuckled: "Yes! That's what we need to do! When it comes to finding people, how can we not have our Jingxin specially made--"

Before he could finish the next sentence, Qu Feiqing interrupted him without any explanation: "Sorry, did that grandpa scare you? Don't worry, there are visual spirits everywhere in the secret realm. As long as we use the mysterious mirror to explore one by one, we can find the location of all the spirit fox people."

Ningning's eyes lit up.

The visual spirit has a special effect, which allows the elders to see all the details of the trial. It is generally used to monitor the behavior of disciples from various sects to ensure that nothing too outrageous happens in the secret realm.

This thing is one of the most disgusting things for all disciples. Even if they are thousands of miles away, the elders can see all of their ugly deeds and experiences of being beaten by others. It is so embarrassing.

However, in contrast, the all-round and no-dead-angle characteristics of the visual spirit... It is absolutely suitable for finding people!

Whether it is the bottom of the cliffs between mountains, rivers, lakes, as long as their shadows are distributed in the secret realm, nothing can hide. Today, in addition to surveillance, this thing can obviously play another more important role.

Find the spirit foxes scattered in the secret realm.

"We have been investigating carefully not long ago and found several scattered fox tribes."

Lin Qian swallowed back the words "after the visual spirit in the house was smashed by Pei Ji brat" and said softly: "When you start to act, we will inform you of the location and route at any time."

"But..."

Ning Ning was a little worried: "I remember that the trial rules said that the elders must not communicate with anyone in the secret realm, otherwise they will be severely punished. If the elders of other sects know about this, will there be any problems?"

"We don't care about those old antiques!"

Tian Xianzi said without hesitation, "If anyone is dissatisfied, draw your sword and fight. What can those people do to me?"

As expected of a sword cultivator, this kind of madness could not be stopped even if he was thousands of miles away. However, Qu Feiqing sneered, "The last time this master said this, he was beaten so badly that his mother couldn't recognize him."

"Rules are meaningless if they are not broken."

Ji Yunkai smiled and raised his head while lying on the wooden table.

The images in the surrounding mirrors were no longer those of the sect's disciples. The pictures were moving rapidly, passing through green waters and high mountains, desolate paths, just to find a rugged shadow.

Lin Qian noticed the movement, turned around and raised his eyebrows, which was quite provocative.

It seems that the heads and elders of these big sects often fight each other openly or secretly, but it has been a long time since we have seen them working together like this.

Someone shouted, "It's time to open the market, guess which sect has found the most spirit foxes!"

There was a short silence.

Ji Yunkai opened his eyes wide, took a deep breath, and looked at Tian Xianzi.

——Work together! Their Xuanxu Sword Sect is the strongest, and this time they will definitely fight for the first place!
