The Meng family naturally chose to follow Helian Xiao!
Helian Xiao never expected that he could bring a few people back with him after coming out.
However, he was in a hurry to get somewhere, so he had to use his sword.
These are not problems. Meng Xiuyi can fly on a sword, so he can take two disciples with him.
But Meng Wanwan herself can.
Don't even mention that she's only at the Foundation Establishment stage and hasn't learned anything yet.
She doesn't need to learn; Niannian helps her control it, so she just needs to sit.
Meng Wanwan only learned later that as her own strength increased, the things related to her would also change.
For example, Niannian, at this moment, transformed into a physical being, just like a real spirit beast, nestled in her arms.
For example, the space—oh, now it's called the dollhouse—has increased in size and even has a spirit pool. Meng Wanwan couldn't help but wonder if, if she could form her core or even her nascent soul, that space might actually become a place larger than a typical sect.
Xiaoshanyou is located in the southern part of the Nine Realms Continent, in a place where the forests are so dense that they block out the sky.
With more people joining them, Helian Xiao could no longer stop and go as he pleased, so the group quickly entered the territory of Xiaoshanyou.
Looking down from the sky at the forest formed by hundreds of trees, Meng Wanwan was once again amazed by the power of the primeval forest.
This place is all greenery; without someone pointing it out, it would be impossible to find.
Meng Wanwan whispered to Meng Xiuyi, "Father, I feel like this place is practically deserted unless people are trying to escape the war."
Even if those sects and forces prefer to find remote, deep mountains and forests, they would never choose a place that is obviously full of demonic energy to any discerning person.
Meng Xiuyi smiled and said, "It is said that Xiaoshanyou was indeed a place where some people gathered to seek refuge during the great war between gods and demons. Your feeling is not wrong."
"Although the spiritual energy in this place is not very abundant, and it is not favored by some large families or sects, there are many demonic beasts and even spirit beasts in this forest. With these resources, Xiaoshan You will naturally not live too badly."
Helian Xiao laughed heartily: "Uncle Meng, you are being very cautious in your words. We are not only doing well, but doing very well. Everyone thinks this place is full of demonic energy, dense jungles, and dangers. But they don't know that the spiritual energy here is the purest, and almost every child born in Xiaoshanyou has a spiritual root, and many of them have top-grade spiritual roots."
Thinking about these things, he felt very proud.
"It is because of this that our Xiaoshanyou has grown stronger over the years and achieved its current status. Sometimes, fortune and misfortune are intertwined. Anyway, the people of Xiaoshanyou all love this place."
After saying this, Helian Xiao stopped in mid-air, waved his hand and cast a talisman in the air, and a path gradually appeared in front of everyone.
"Let's go, this is the road to Xiaoshanyou."
Helian Xiao dismounted from his flying sword and stepped onto the blue path that seemed to be formed from gathered mist, looking back at the Meng family.
Meng Xiuyi grabbed two disciples and jumped onto the path, with Meng Wanwan following last.
Helian Xiao led the way: "Xiaoshanyou's power is growing stronger every day, and naturally some people covet it. However, very few people can actually find Xiaoshanyou. They are usually people that the family deliberately lets in."
The blue mist that formed the road was slowly dissipating, and everyone felt as if they were walking on a road formed from air.
Helian Xiao turned around and said, "If you get too close to me, one wrong step and you might fall."
Meng bent down and scooped up a handful of air from beneath her feet; it was indeed air.
Helian Xiao laughed at her actions: "Little girl, we all did that when we first left Xiaoshan You. This road is actually an array, set up by our Helian family ancestor and his friends to protect those who escape into Xiaoshan You."
"This technique is truly masterful."
His tone was full of pride.
Meng Xiuyi nodded: "Indeed, there are no physical objects in the formation, it has become an invisible path."
It's like walking in the void, above all things.
Helian Xiao said he was turning, and the Meng family members, seeing where he was turning, walked over and turned as well.
After walking for about the distance of a cup of tea, Helian Xiao suddenly stopped.
In the dim light of the sky and earth, the bright moon hangs high above, and towering forests rise below.
He lifted his foot and took a step forward.
Everyone followed him out, and in the next instant, the scene before them completely changed.
They were standing on a platform connected by high stone steps, with a circular corridor made of white stone blocks floating in the air on both sides of the platform.
Looking down, at the end of the stone steps leading down, there is a quaint and antique courtyard.
Looking into the distance, behind the courtyard, there are houses scattered in a neat and orderly fashion, and even figures moving about.
The entire region was not in the jungle as they had imagined; all the buildings seemed to be located in a valley basin.
By the moonlight, you can see the terraced fields on the mountainside in the distance.
“This is where we hold our sacrificial rites. Let’s go down.” Helian Xiao walked ahead and descended the stone steps one by one.
Meng Xiuyi took Meng Wanwan's hand and followed closely behind.
After descending the stone steps, it wasn't far from the Helian family's courtyard.
An old man was waiting with a smile at the entrance of Helian's house. When he saw Helian Xiao walk over, he quickly came forward to greet him.
"Young Master, you're finally back. Miss Han has been waiting for you for a long time."
Then his gaze fell on the Meng family, and he politely asked, "And who are these people?"
Helian Xiao waved his hand: "It's a long story. Where's my father? Is he asleep? I need to go see him."
When the old man heard that he didn't intend to talk about the Han family, he tactfully said, "The master is waiting for you. You should go. These old servants will take care of you."
Helian Xiao stepped through the door and said, "No need, just let them come with me to see my father."
The old man paused for a moment, glanced at the Meng family again, and then said nothing more.
Meng Xiuyi nodded to the old man, took Meng Wanwan's hand, and followed him inside.
Yun Zhao and Chu You followed behind, but the whole family could feel the gaze of those eyes from behind.
Meng Wanwan whispered, "Daddy, this person's eyes make me uncomfortable."
Meng Xiuyi held her small hand tightly, without saying a word.
Passing through the front yard, through the foyer and flower hall, and further inside is the main house.
The architecture of the Helian family seems to be different from that of aristocratic families and sects; the Helian family's houses are more like those of wealthy people.
As soon as the group stepped into the main courtyard, a sweet voice rang out.
"Brother Xiao, is Brother Xiao back?"
At the same time, the alarm sounded again in Meng Wanwan's mind.
"Warning! Warning! Blood essence is surging!"
