Volume 1 Chapter 454: Homecoming
The Golden Lotus Mother's face turned slightly cold, but soon returned to her original easygoing appearance. She stood up and said, "Thank you, Sect Master Leng, for your generosity today. I will take my leave now."
After finishing speaking, the Golden Lotus Mother took Cai Lin and Xiang Yun and flew away into the sky, far away from the territory of the Joyful Sect.
Along the way, the Golden Lotus Mother's face was always ugly. Originally, her identity and status were the same as Leng Menglu's.
Leng Menglu is the leader of the Huanxi Sect. She is also the overlord of the Golden Lotus Pond, the top force of the demon clan, and commands countless demons.
The strength of both of them is also at the peak of the late Qianyuan realm. Even in terms of actual combat power, she is slightly superior to Leng Menglu.
But when they met this time, Holy Mother Golden Lotus never expected that Leng Menglu had broken through the formless state. The other party's aura was restrained, but her whole temperament was natural, as if she was out of this world.
She used her demonic energy to probe, but it was like a drop in the ocean. She felt that Leng Menglu was unfathomable.
This was the reason why she did not fight back in time even though Leng Mengluo's tone was unfriendly. The Golden Lotus Mother had to admit that she was scared today. In front of the Wuxiang Realm, she was still a demon!
The Golden Lotus Mother believed that if Leng Menglu wanted, she could definitely force herself to stay without paying any price.
The Golden Lotus Mother never thought that just asking for a person for her disciple would lead to a catastrophe of life and death. The things in this world are really hard to guess.
The Golden Lotus Mother thought about it again and said to herself, "Although the human race is cunning, they can still see clearly the major issues. I'm sure Leng Menglu also knows that killing me will only bring harm to the world. Now everyone is on the same boat, and we all prosper together and suffer together~"
The face of the Golden Lotus Mother remained sad. Cai Lin saw it and thought that she was worried about the treasure she had just given away. So she pulled Xiang Yun, who was confused at the moment, and said, "Master, in order to save you this time, paid a golden lotus seed that took 500 years to condense. This is a holy object that helps people break through and increase their cultivation. Only my master has it in the world. Even if you are not grateful, you should say thank you."
Xiang Yun was stunned. He knew that what he did was indeed not very decent, but he had to do it for the sake of his reputation as Emperor Yun... after all, he had made a big promise in front of the other person's portrait.
After thinking for a while, Xiang Yun said secretly: "A real man has his own way of doing things. As a man, what does this little bit of face mean? You have to be able to live up to your own standards."
After figuring it out, Xiang Yun bowed to the Holy Mother of Golden Lotus who was flying in front of him and said, "I would like to thank the Holy Mother for her great kindness today. I was disrespectful in the past and was really a calf that was not afraid of a tiger. I hope the Holy Mother will forgive me."
Xiang Yun spoke sincerely, but the Golden Lotus Mother seemed not to hear him and ignored him at all, making the situation very awkward.
Xiang Yun complained in his heart: "You are a person of such status, why do you have to argue with me? It seems a bit too narrow-minded."
People always think that they are good, but they don't realize that sometimes their demands are very unreasonable. At least Xiang Yun's current thinking is a bit unreasonable, but he doesn't realize it.
After flying for a while, the Golden Lotus Mother put the two of them down and said slowly, "This place is out of the territory ruled by the Joy Sect. Cailin, have fun outside. Remember to return to the Golden Lotus Pond within the specified time. Master has something else to do, so he will leave first."
Cai Lin nodded quickly, then knelt down in front of the Golden Lotus Mother, and bowed with tears in her eyes: "Thank you, Master, for your help!"
When Cai Lin looked up again, the Golden Lotus Mother had disappeared. She wiped her tears, slowly stood up, and stared at Xiang Yun with a smile, her face full of happiness.
Xiang Yun was moved, and he came forward to hug her tightly in his arms, and comforted her: "I know your friendship for me, from now on you will follow me, and you will have a share of what I have. As your master said, I will never let you down in this life."
Cai Lin was so touched by these sweet words that she felt extremely happy and shy. She said softly, "You spared my life that day, and I gave you my heart. I wanted to find you earlier, but my master caught me and kept me in the Golden Lotus Pond to practice hard. I was not able to come out until I broke through."
"When I arrived at the Dayun Empire, you had already disappeared. I searched for you in the world for three years, but couldn't find you. I went back to the Golden Lotus Pond to ask my master for help. My master took me to search for you for another year, and then I found some clues. I found out that you were captured by the leader of the Huanxi Sect. I hurried here today... I was so worried that something happened to you. If that happened, I don't know how Cai Lin would survive."
Xiang Yun was even more moved when he heard this. He didn't expect that he had been imprisoned for ten years and that someone in the outside world had been searching for him for more than four years. He didn't know how to repay this kindness alone.
Cai Lin continued, "It's okay now. You're still alive. I'm really happy."
Xiang Yun said: "Although I am alive, my cultivation is wasted and my behavior is like that of a useless person. Living like an ordinary person is no different from being dead."
Cai Lin was startled, and quickly used her magic power to check Xiang Yun's physical condition. Soon her face turned very ugly. She stared at Xiang Yun in a daze, and asked distressedly: "Who did it?"
Xiang Yun said: "Master Leng, but I don't hate her. On the contrary, I am grateful to her. If it weren't for her, I'm afraid I wouldn't be alive today."
Cai Lin wanted to avenge Xiang Yun, but the enemy was too strong and she really didn't have the strength to do so. She felt sorry for Xiang Yun and didn't know how to comfort him, so she asked, "Where do you want to go? I'll go with you."
Hearing this, Xiang Yun looked up to the east and said calmly, "I want to go back to the Dayun Empire. It has been ten years, and it is my hard work after all."
Cai Lin nodded. Although she really wanted to go shopping with Xiang Yun and enjoy some time alone together, she also knew that it was best for her to follow her man at this time. As a woman, she should be sensible.
Cai Lin took Xiang Yun to a high altitude and headed towards the direction of the Dayun Empire. On the way, Cai Lin said, "You have to be mentally prepared. After so many years, the Dayun Empire no longer exists. There are now many dynasties in that area, and there are hundreds of countries, large and small. There are constant battles between them all year round. If you want to find the feeling of the past, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
Xiang Yun felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this, but he also knew that this was a fact that could not be changed, so he said sadly: "I know, I just want to go over and reminisce and find some old friends."
Soon it got dark and night fell. Although it did not delay the flight, Cai Lin still found a human city to stop, entered it, and found an inn to rest.
Xiang Yun was eager to go home, so he couldn't help asking, "Why are you staying here?"
Cai Lin felt wronged, but still said patiently: "The Dayun Empire is too far away. At my speed, it will take at least three months to fly there. Before that, I have to heal your injuries first. You look pale all day long. I feel so distressed when I see you. I thought you were going to die soon."
Xiang Yun was stunned. He only had one wound on his body, which was a wound that pierced his scapula on his back. For his body that was comparable to that of the Qianyuan realm, this injury was nothing and he would not die at all.
However, without the Ming Guang Armor and spiritual water, it would be extremely difficult to recover from these injuries.
