Chapter 41: Departure "Of course! If you don't come with me, what are you planning to do..."
Zhao Chaoan poked Ying Bu Ran's forehead and tried to sound serious. "Next time you want to peer into the sky again, tell us. We'll help you prepare. At least your safety is guaranteed."
Ying Bu Ran stood there obediently, taking a few hits before taking a step back. Covering his forehead, he whispered, "Okay, I get it... Don't worry, it's all right now. How about we go out for a walk?"
Zhao Chaoan understood what Ying Bu Ran meant, which was roughly: I know I was wrong, but I won't change.
But she admitted her mistake, so what could he do? He could only watch her more closely next time.
"Okay, let's go. Do you need me to carry you on my back? Or do you want a princess hug?" Zhao Chaoan waved his hands, defeated. Then he changed the subject, moved closer and said with a smile, almost face to face.
Ying Bu Ran laughed dryly twice, gently pushed Zhao Chaoan away, turned his head away and said, "I can walk by myself..."
Sure enough, I still feel a little uncomfortable now.
The two walked onto the street, and watching the people coming and going, Ying Bu Ran did regain some of the feeling of being still in the human world.
"The city is much more vibrant than before." She said sincerely as she looked at the people on the street with happy smiles on their faces.
Zhao Chaoan nodded, agreeing with her. She had also witnessed the gradual changes in this street during this period. "After all, the crisis has passed. Everything is now improving, and we are not fighting alone. During this period, we have cooperated with the Tianyan Sect and the Wanxiang Sect several times, and it is basically confirmed that they are now on the same front with us."
It felt like after this retreat, many things were taking a turn for the better. The plague was finally over, and they had found allies, no longer fighting alone, no longer feeling the loneliness of being at odds with the world.
"That's great! Everything is getting better." Ying Bu Ran took a deep breath and then asked, "Has anything happened in Wind Chasing City recently?"
Two months is neither long nor short. She doesn't think that Liuyun Sect and Jiuyou Sect will be honest after "suffering a big loss".
Zhao Chaoan thought about it for a moment, then shrugged and said, "Just one thing. Now, Zhuifeng City, Tianyan Sect, and Wanxiang Sect are all opposed to Liuyun Sect and Jiuyou Sect. The four major sects are now in a state of division."
These two sect leaders are decisive now. Of course, if they were not decisive, she wouldn't mind helping them to be decisive.
The split of the four sects is no small matter. Now the people of the world should be roughly divided into two factions. In addition, the wrath of heaven has begun to slowly descend, and time is indeed running out.
Ying Bu Ran looked at the street, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a heavy tone: "It seems that this peaceful life will not last long..."
If they fail to win, these peaceful days will be gone forever, and even the world may cease to exist.
She had to hurry up and leave now. Ying Buyan scratched his head and looked at Zhao Chaoan, telling him his next plan: "Oh, I plan to go out later. I found two secret realms in the first generation's inherited memories. According to the time, one of them will appear soon, so I plan to go and take a look."
She paused, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she smiled and stretched out her hand to her: "Can I invite you to come with me?"
If Zhao Chaoan hesitated, he wouldn't be called Zhao Chaoan. Without a second thought, he grabbed Ying Bu Ran's hand with both hands and shook it frantically: "Of course! If you don't come with me, who are you going to go with?"
Ying Bu Ran was a little dizzy from being dazzled. Upon hearing this, he raised an eyebrow and said maliciously, "Could it be Senior Yun? Or Senior Si?"
As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Zhao Chaoan motionless. The smile on his face instantly turned into a pitiful expression, and he looked at her with two tears in his eyes.
He's getting better and better at acting... Ying Bu Ran complained in his heart, and patted Zhao Chaoan's hand with his other hand to smooth his hair: "Okay, okay, I won't look for anyone else except you. Let's go, let's go tell Mom."
Zhao Chaoan was quickly coaxed into calming down, but after thinking about it, he felt that he had calmed down too quickly. He pretended to be still angry and snorted: "Hmph! Okay, let's go."
But the cheerful steps he took while holding Ying Bu Ran's hand revealed his inner thoughts.
When Jiang Liuyan saw Ying Bu Ran, she hugged her first, then rubbed Ying Bu Ran's head and pulled her to sit next to her.
Ying Bu Ran talked about his gains in the secret realm and demonstrated the fusion of his two powers, which earned him happy praise from Jiang Liuyan.
She then told Jiang Liuyan about her future plans and the signs she observed in the sky to prove the necessity of her actions.
Jiang Liuyan had no intention of stopping her. After listening, he touched his chin and asked, "I understand the details. Is there anything I can do?"
This was the first time her daughter had traveled so far since returning. Although she knew Ying Bu Ran was strong enough to protect himself, she was still worried: "Do you need me to send someone to follow you?"
Ying Bu Ran shook his head: "No, with the fighting power of the two of us, we should be able to handle it. It's not easy to operate concealed with so many people."
"Okay, take this with you. Crush it immediately when you encounter danger. My power is contained in it." Jiang Liuyan gave Ying Bu Ran a jade pendant. If it weren't for the poor background of Zhuifeng City, she could even equip Ying Bu Ran with all his equipment.
Unfortunately, in fact, all the self-defense magic weapons in Zhuifeng City are not as powerful as Ying Bushan’s jade flute.
I'll find a chance to grab some good stuff later.
Ying Bu Ran took the jade pendant and said happily from the bottom of her heart: "Okay! Thank you, Mom!"
Seeing that Ying Bu Ran didn't despise her, Jiang Liuyan breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and touched her head. He was a little reluctant, but finally let go. "Well, be careful on the road. If anything happens, let me know at any time. I will definitely be there."
.
"This is probably the direction, let's go." Ying Bu Ran relied on the road pointed out by the first generation in his memory, found the hidden mark and determined the road.
Zhao Chaoan nodded: "Okay, so this secret realm was also discovered through the memories of the remnant soul?"
"Yes, to be precise, this is the opportunity for resistance left by the first generation for future generations. There are people ahead." Ying Bu Ran withdrew the strength he had used to explore the way, raised his hand to press Zhao Chaoan down, and squatted down himself.
Zhao Chaoan's soul left his body and transformed into a blackbird, flying over to investigate. Seeing the markings on those people's clothes, he flew back and quickly returned to his body and said, "They are from the Jiuyou Sect. Why are they here? Are they here looking for opportunities too?"
Ying Bu Ran frowned slightly and looked around. Apart from that opportunity, there didn't seem to be any other opportunities here.
Moreover, the two opportunities are located in the same place, which seems a bit impossible to think about: "This possibility cannot be ruled out, let's get closer and take a look." She also turned into a ghost and approached with Zhao Chaoan.
Hearing the discussion of several people, he could basically confirm that their purpose was the same as his.
However, the first generation of this secret realm revealed himself and the first generation of the demon god, but no one knew about it. How did these people know it?
Ying Bu Ran was a little undecided and subconsciously asked Zhao Chaoan: "They also know...how did they know?"
Zhao Chaoan thought about it and said, "I guess it was that thing in the sky that told them." She felt that there was no other explanation except this.
If that was the case, it would be even more impossible for these people to succeed. Ying Bu Ran gestured to Zhao Chaoan, and then the two rushed out together.
The incident happened suddenly, and the two ghost-like people were stronger than this side. Zhao Chaoan also blocked the venue in advance, so that the information of these disciples could not be sent out, and the battle ended quickly.
Ying Bu Ran didn't kill them, but knocked them all unconscious, as she had other uses for them. Of course, she didn't know whether they were disabled or not. Not dying was the limit of her control: "Search them all to see if there is anything hidden."
Zhao Chaoan clapped his hands, controlling his ghost energy to draw out all the suspicious things on everyone: "Alright, leave it to me."
With the help of ghost energy, she quickly browsed through it to see if there was any important information, and actually found some: "I did find some interesting things." She beckoned her hand, and a wisp of ghost energy with a token floated over.
Ying Bu Ran curiously went over to check and asked, "What?"
"They received two orders. The sect leader asked them to take the things back, but their elders asked them to take the things to meet up somewhere else." Zhao Chaoan raised the token in his hand and raised his eyebrows. This was quite interesting.
Ying Bu Ran wasn't really surprised by this. How could a sect that was corrupted from within truly be united? "Sure enough, the internal situation is also beginning to deteriorate. These people..."
She looked at those who fainted first, and now it seemed that she could get some more information, but how to send it to Zhuifeng City was a problem.
Zhao Chaoan thought for a moment and snapped his fingers. "Let the ghost soldiers take a shortcut from the ghost world to Wind Chasing City. It won't take long. At most, they'll be sick for a few days."
It’s okay to be sick for a few days. Cultivators are not that weak. It’s already very merciful of them not to kill them.
Ying Bu Ran nodded: "Okay, let's do it." But speaking of the ghost world... She remembered that before Zhao Chaoan went into seclusion, he said he wanted to go back and take a look there: "Speaking of the ghost world, that ghost king, do you have any information?"
Zhao Chaoan got angry just talking about this. She argued with the other ghost kings for a long time before they could come up, but that person was able to run away quietly. "It can be confirmed that the Western Ghost King has disappeared. Only the God of Transformation is left there to take care of the other ghosts. He ran away without a trace."
She is still too well-mannered. If she had known earlier, she would have run away secretly.
This is also a hidden danger. Ying Bu Ran asked, "Do you think she is in league with the Liuyun Sect and the Jiuyou Sect?"
This stumped Zhao Chaoan: "How can I explain this? It's hard to say. Among the several Ghost Kings and the King of Hell, this guy is the most unpredictable."
That ghost, no ghost could possibly know what she was thinking. She could be smiling and eating with you one second, and then flip the table and run away the next. There's no logic to it.
She couldn't think of anything, so she simply gave up thinking: "If I run into her again, I will definitely catch her and interrogate her."
I let her run away last time, and I'll let her run away again if I meet someone as pretty as her.
