"Sect?" Helian Xiao looked at the two young men who had suddenly appeared and felt that his intelligence had been insulted.
These two said they belong to a sect?
Haha, a family of independent cultivators, yet they actually belong to a sect.
Helian Xiao had a look on his face that said, "Do I look like an idiot to you? You're just trying to fool me."
Yun Zhao calmly replied, "Yes, the sect was just established by my master."
Newly established...
Could it have been established a short time ago?
Helian Xiao: "What's your name?"
Yun Zhao: "Dollhouse."
Helian Xiao: "..."
Chu You looked shocked.
Yun Zhao continued, "My master obtained a teleportation stone by chance and gave it to a few of us, so we can teleport back to the sect anytime, anywhere."
Helian Xiao pointed to his feet: "Then how did you get here? Surely there aren't teleportation points for your sect all around here?"
"Don't try to fool me. Teleportation requires a teleportation array. What, are you going to throw the array away as you walk?"
Yun Zhao pursed his lips and said, "We won't be throwing magic arrays as we go; we'll just be returning to the place where we were teleported back to the sect last time."
In essence, after leaving the space, they will return to the place where they entered the space.
Although Yunzhao couldn't understand the underlying principle, he guessed it was related to the laws of space.
He didn't understand, but Helian Xiao, that old fox, always did, so Yun Zhao told him to let his imagination run wild.
As expected, Helian Xiao looked incredulous: "Spatial punctuation teleportation?"
Yun Zhao blinked, then nodded seriously: "Ah... um!"
Helian Xiao said enviously, "Although your master is a rogue cultivator, his luck is truly extraordinary. He actually found such a good thing and even used it on you kids. Tsk tsk... Where is your sect? I'll go check on the baby and see how she is."
Chu You looked at Yun Zhao somewhat guiltily: "Huh?"
Yun Zhao calmly said, "The child is in the Foundation Establishment stage. Now the sect is sealed off and no one is allowed to enter. My junior brother and I were kicked out."
Helian Xiao was utterly incredulous: "Just Foundation Establishment, and it's necessary to seal off the sect... Wait, what? This little girl has already reached Foundation Establishment?"
Yun Zhao: "Ah!"
Helian Xiao sat down on the ground: "Alright, let's wait for them. They should be back by the time the little girl finishes her Foundation Establishment."
Helian Xiao hugged the greatsword to his chest and sighed, "Back in the day, I reached Foundation Establishment at eight and Golden Core at fifteen. Ha, I never imagined that this little girl would reach Foundation Establishment before she was even three. If the old men of those major sects and families knew about this cultivation speed, wouldn't they be chasing after you?"
“No, not at all.” Yun Zhao sat down as well, and said indifferently, “My master was turned away by them back then. They probably don’t have the face to chase after my master’s daughter.”
Helian Xiao looked surprised: "Is that so?"
Yun Zhao nodded: "Master has a top-grade water spiritual root and entered the Dao through self-cultivation."
Helian Xiao was puzzled: "A top-grade water spiritual root, according to your master's age, he should be around sixty years old, right? A Golden Core at around sixty years old is not much different from mine, so why was he rejected by sects and families?"
Yun Zhao glanced at him; this man, while praising others, never forgot to pat himself on the back.
"Because Master has a congenital illness," Chu You said in a muffled voice, leaning against Yun Zhao.
Helian Xiao was taken aback, then nodded and said, "Yes...ever since the war between gods and demons, a trend has emerged from who knows where, these sects and families do not like people with karmic entanglements to join their ranks."
"Although the cultivation world on the Nine Realms Continent has changed somewhat over the years compared to the historical records, there are still quite a few talented individuals with good aptitude. That's probably why they abandoned your master as a promising candidate."
Yun Zhao's expression remained unchanged: "I don't care why they turned Master away, and Master didn't seem to mind. We just hope they won't bother the doll."
Helian Xiao said helplessly, "Alright, alright, you little brat, so young but so temperamental. But your sect's resources are a bit meager. Tell me, how do you plan to expand your cultivation resources?"
"Uncle, this is our sect's own business. Are you trying to steal our resources by asking around like this?"
A childish voice came from the air, and then a little child fell from the sky and landed in front of Helian Xiao.
Helian Xiao stared blankly at Meng Wanwan.
She seemed to have grown up a bit; her round face still had baby fat, but her big eyes had become slender.
Her hair had grown long, and she tied it into pigtails that reached down to her chest.
She had also changed her clothes into shorts and trousers, which were still dusty, but you could tell that she had grown a little taller.
The little girl stood in front of him with a smile, hands on her hips, and chin raised triumphantly: "Haha, don't you recognize me?"
With a wave of her small hand, a small red fan appeared in her hand, and she pointed at herself: "Me! I've reached the Foundation Establishment stage!"
Meng Xiuyi, dressed in a blue robe, also appeared. He walked behind Meng Wanwan, looking at his daughter with a smile in his eyes.
Helian Xiao exclaimed in surprise, "This is the first time I've ever heard that advancing in rank can actually make you grow? I knew it! Your mindset is nothing like that of a two or three-year-old. Just how old are you?"
Meng Wanwan rolled her eyes at him: "A woman's age is a taboo subject, don't you know that?"
Helian Xiao rolled his eyes at her: "Little brat, what woman are you talking about!"
As he spoke, he ruffled Meng Wanwan's long braid: "She's still a little kid."
Meng Wanwan pulled her hair back, snorted, and hid behind Meng Xiuyi.
Meng Xiuyi looked at Meng Wanwan with a smile. At this moment, he pushed Meng Wanwan behind him and said to Helian Xiao, "I haven't thanked Young Master Helian yet. We were able to escape danger thanks to Young Master Helian's help this time."
Helian Xiao also became serious and said, "Let's talk as we walk."
Meng Xiuyi recounted their encounter to Helian Xiao, emphasizing Bai Changxue: "The two of them are colluding together, and combined with what you saw in the painting, they are probably after the black box in the doll's hand."
Helian Xiao frowned: "It seems I've caused you trouble. They probably thought that was the Scroll of All Heavens, or a clue to obtaining it. However, the box in front of me has merged with your pendant, so it's definitely not the Scroll of All Heavens. I can prove that. Bai Changxue... since he left the Bai family's territory, it's the Helian family's duty to assassinate him."
He snorted, his eyes full of disdain: "No wonder our ancestral precept is to kill the Bai family. Sure enough, as long as they appear, they will stir up trouble."
"And then there's the Shanglin Sect. The Shanglin Sect is rotten to the core now, beyond saving. I will report this matter to our family. If they really are related to the remnants of the Demon Clan, then the 'Clear Household Notice' will be sent to every single member of their sect."
He looked at the family, who had become obedient again, sighed, and said, "I'm going back to Xiaoshanyou now. You... why don't you come back with me? After all, this whole thing started because of me, and before Bai Changxue was assassinated, Xiaoshanyou still has a responsibility to protect you."
"Of course, you can go back to your sect... just don't come out for the time being."
After all, Bai Changxue was a Nascent Soul cultivator. Although it would take some effort, it wasn't impossible for her to kill these people.
Meng Xiuyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief; they were finally on the right track.
"Then thank you very much, Young Master Helian."
