As time passed, what Hu Sanniang felt from Zhou Yuanyuan was nothing but care and consideration. What Zhou Yuanyuan gave to Hu Sanniang was far more than what Hu Sanniang gave in return.
As long as Zhou Yuanyuan asked for it, Hu Sanniang would definitely hand over the Langyuan secret realm that had been passed down by the Qingqiu Fox Clan for tens of thousands of years.
"Sanniang, I called you here because I want you to check what major events have occurred in the secret realm recently?" Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but ask when she saw Hu Sanniang in a daze.
"Master, half a month ago, hundreds of cultivators died in the secret realm. I wonder if this is considered a big deal?" When reminded by Zhou Yuanyuan, Hu Sanniang remembered a scene that she accidentally monitored half a month ago.
The scene depicted a long, narrow valley. Within it lay corpses, scattered across the valley. Surrounding the bodies were fragments of magical weapons, as if they had just experienced a fierce battle.
Hu Sanniang estimated that there were at least hundreds of corpses.
Hu Sanniang had never doubted the identities of these monks. The only inhabitants of the Langyuan Secret Realm were monks. The demon cultivators had been deliberately slaughtered by the monks, and even the monks' descendants without spiritual roots had been sent to live in the secular world.
"Hiss! Hundreds of monks died?" Zhou Yuanyuan took a breath of cold air.
There are not a few monks in the secret realm, but not many either. At most, there are only about ten thousand people.
The monks have many ways to save their lives. In a battle where hundreds of monks died at once, there must have been at least thousands of people participating.
He didn't seem to think of a war of such a large scale except for a war between the Yushan Sect and the Maoshan Sect.
Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't help but feel a headache when she thought of this.
The Yushan and Maoshan sects are currently the two largest sects in the world of cultivation. Each sect has several vassal sects of its own. Aside from the Loose Cultivator Alliance, the Yushan and Maoshan sects essentially encompass over nine-tenths of the cultivators in this world. It's easy to imagine that if the Yushan and Maoshan sects were to go to war, it would be an absolute catastrophe for the world of cultivation.
"Master, Sanniang has been keeping a close eye on the monks' movements these days, but the mass death of monks like last time hasn't happened again."
In the past few days, Hu Sanniang has been paying attention to the movements of the monks in the secret realm. If the moonlight tonight was not so strong, Hu Sanniang would not have gone to the roof to bask in the moonlight.
It has to be said that Hu Sanniang had bad luck. She just took a chance to be lazy and was caught by the Chaos Pearl.
Hu Sanniang hesitated for a while about whether to report the death of a large number of monks in the secret realm to Zhou Yuanyuan.
When Zhou Yuanyuan gave the secret realm jade token to Hu Sanniang for refining, she had explained that apart from the large-scale migration of cultivators in the secret realm to the secular world, Hu Sanniang didn't need to discuss anything else with her.
Because of this, Hu Sanniang suppressed the matter. When Zhou Yuanyuan asked about it, Hu Sanniang felt a little guilty about her dereliction of duty.
After listening to Hu Sanniang's explanation, Zhou Yuanyuan pondered for a while, "Sanniang, you and my mother will be away for a while tomorrow. Then you will return to the trial world of the Chaos Pearl and closely monitor the major events happening in the secret realm. I always feel that something..."
Yuanyuan did not utter the following words: "the storm is coming", but Hu Sanniang understood.
"Okay, Master. I'll take over the outside affairs tomorrow morning."
Zhou Yuanyuan nodded in satisfaction. What pleased Zhou Yuanyuan most about Hu Sanniang was that she never said too much and would do anything she asked her to do immediately.
Hu Sanniang was also very satisfied. Returning to the Chaos Pearl's trial world to cultivate was a blessing for her. She hadn't been able to fully refine the Fox King's demonic power. Pursuing even greater strength was her greatest wish.
After finding out about the secret realm of Langyuan, Zhou Yuanyuan let Hu Sanniang leave.
After Hu Sanniang left, Zhou Yuanyuan instructed Chaos Pearl, "Pearl, contact the mirror and ask it what happened in the Langyuan Secret Realm?"
Without asking the Qiankun Mirror, Zhou Yuanyuan felt unsure.
Zhou Yuanyuan knew that Qiankun Mirror was not a person who liked to meddle in other people's affairs. Otherwise, if Qiankun Mirror had just extended a hand, Shi Xiong would not have lost Jiyun Mountain.
Something big must have happened in the Langyuan Secret Realm, which is why Qiankunjing, who doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, rushed there.
"Okay, master." Seeing Zhou Yuanyuan's serious face, Chaos Pearl no longer cared about the issue of energy consumption and quickly contacted the Qiankun Mirror.
After a long time, intermittent replies came from the Qiankun Mirror: "Outsiders... clear out... Yushan Sect and Maoshan Sect are fighting... wait for me..."
For some unknown reason, the communication between the Qiankun Mirror and the Chaos Pearl was intermittent and soon lost. When the Chaos Pearl contacted the Qiankun Mirror again, the Qiankun Mirror did not respond.
"Master, how about we go to the secret realm and see what the mirror is up to?" Chaos Pearl was furious, having never encountered such a situation before. That's right! Energy was wasted, but they didn't get to hear what the Qiankun Mirror was up to.
"No." Zhou Yuanyuan shook her head.
"Why? Master, Zhuzhu is very curious!" Chaos Pearl said dissatisfiedly.
Why? With so much going on at home, how could she possibly leave? Zhou Yuanyuan secretly despised Chaos Pearl's intelligence.
"No reason, I just don't want to go." Zhou Yuanyuan didn't want to explain her annoyance to Chaos Pearl, so she had to answer simply and roughly.
"Alright! You're the master, so you have the final say." Chaos Pearl had no choice but to shut up.
"Zhuzhu, hurry up and deliver this jade slip to Brother Ziqing. After you deliver it, don't stay and come back immediately. Also, don't disturb my sleep when you come back." Zhou Yuanyuan threw the jade slip in her hand towards Chaos Pearl and fell on the bed on her back.
Zhou Yuanyuan felt really tired, not physically, but mentally. She didn't want to think about anything else right now. She just wanted to get a good night's sleep. Even if it was a big deal, she could leave it until tomorrow.
"Okay, master." Seeing that Zhou Yuanyuan looked unhappy, Chaos Pearl didn't dare to say anything about not leaving Zhou Yuanyuan's side. After taking the jade slip thrown by Zhou Yuanyuan, it flew to the north quickly.
Zhou Yuanyuan lay on the bed, watching the Chaos Pearl disappear into the distance, but she was too lazy to turn over.
Zhou Yuanyuan's mind was in a mess.
I really don’t know if this day is a conflict with Zhou Yuanyuan! Recalling the “wonderful” day, Zhou Yuanyuan showed a bitter smile at the corner of her mouth.
Early this morning, Liu Jingye ran to the door of Zhou's house and insisted on seeing General Zhou to complain about his daughter Meiling.
Then, for some reason, Zhu Xiangyang went to the top leadership and got a special dispatch order. Zhou Yuanyuan wasn't afraid of missions, but she hated Zhu Xiangyang's coercive approach.
Immediately afterwards, he received a call from Yan Hei, who sent Cha Rui to find Kong Ming's whereabouts.
Then it was suspected that something big happened in the Langyuan secret realm...
Why can't these things ever stop happening?
