Chapter 54: Triumph

Du Xueling said: "Anyway, anyway, let's go back first."

Zhan Chenming said: "Yes, yes, haha, let's go back first, haha."

Nanwang was very confused: "Big Sister, Third Brother, just talk, why are you shaking?"

Du Xueling: "No, I didn't tremble."

Zhan Chenming said: "Is there? You must have seen it wrong."

Nan Wang understood: "No, do you really think that An Nuo is the head immortal? What are you thinking? How is this possible? An Nuo, An Nuo, he is a rabbit that can eat three pig trotters in one meal!"

Lingzhi said: "The headmaster immortal is also OK."

Nanwang was desperate: "According to what you said, Fifth Junior Sister, everything that An Nuo can do, the head immortal can also do. Does this mean that An Nuo is the head immortal?"

Lingzhi thought about it and nodded: "Yes."

Nanwang collapsed: "I want to go back to Qingyun Sect, I'm going back now, I want to go to the Reincarnation Hall to take An Nuo away."

Zhan Chenming sighed and said, "Junior brother, there are always rumors in the sect that our true disciples are in collusion. In fact, you have seen that there is no such thing, it is all rumors."

Du Xueling said at the same time: "Junior brother, what I said to you in Qi Zong at that time was all from my heart. I never meant to do it for others to see. You know me. I am definitely not the kind of person who says one thing in front of others and another behind their backs!"

Nanwang: “…”

I told you it’s not true!

Even if it is true, the Immortal Master will not really blame everyone for working together to rescue the fifth junior sister!

He couldn't stand it anymore, he was going back to the sect to prove this matter -

Nanwang stretched out his hand and took it. His tiger's mouth stuck accurately on the compass and he took the end in his hand.

Lingzhi said, "Oh, Brother, you knew I was going to give you the End. We really have a tacit understanding. I was thinking that only you could return the End to Brother Two. The rest of us wouldn't dare to return it for you."

"No, wait a minute..."

Nanwang took the end and took half a step back.

He found something strange.

His eyes are better now and he can see people clearly.

He didn't know when he started to see clearly, and he didn't notice it at all.

However, it seems that it is not completely healed.

Because the scene in his eyes has an afterimage.

To be precise, all moving objects will have afterimages, but stationary scenes will not have afterimages.

What he caught just now was the afterimage of the end. Because he caught the afterimage, it seemed as if he was one step ahead.

Lingzhi noticed something was wrong and asked, "Brother, why do you keep blinking? Do your eyes hurt?"

"I, I...I'm not feeling bad. Let's go back."

Nan Wang himself couldn't explain clearly what was wrong with him, but he didn't take it too seriously.

In the world of cultivation, people don’t care that much about injuries, especially physical injuries. Even if an arm or a leg is broken, it is not considered a serious matter and can be restored to its original state with a few pills.

Even if the soul or even the consciousness is in danger, a pill of Nine Revolutions Resurrection Pill can save the person.

His eyes were probably slightly injured, but they are getting better and it doesn't hurt or itch, so I don't think it will be serious.

…

Before setting off, Nan Wang looked back at Sunset Valley.

It was dusk, the blood-red sunset was setting slowly, the afterglow dyed the earth a dazzling golden red, the twilight was deep, and the scenery was beautiful.

The secret realm has disappeared, and Sunset Valley has returned to its original appearance.

However, the huge hole in the valley formed by the erosion of the secret realm cannot disappear. It remains on the earth forever, like an unhealable scar.

The return journey was smooth.

Du Xueling and the other two all knew how to wield the sword, so it was easy for them to take Nanwang with them as well.

During this period, Du Xueling and Zhan Chenming sent report letters to the Demon Sect where they were undercover respectively, attached some garbage looted from the secret realm, and ended with "I seem to have some insights, I need to travel around, don't look for it", thus completing the undercover work perfectly.

In comparison, Nan Wang's undercover work was very mediocre. He had no way to contact Yan Sui'an alone, and he had to go to the inn to leave a message. It was obvious that he had little influence and a low status.

The group parted at the foot of Qingyun Mountain.

Du Xueling quickly arranged a place for everyone to go: "Little Junior Brother, follow me to the main hall. Fifth Junior Sister, you go to the Sword Sect and wait for me. I will come to you after I finish taking care of Little Junior Brother's matter. Although the Seven Secrets Exquisite Heart has helped you stabilize your spirit, you still can't be careless. You have to stay with me to meditate and recuperate in the near future. Third Junior Brother, you go back to the Array Sect first. I will call you to discuss the matter of the secret realm in two days."

In addition, Du Xueling also reminded everyone:

"The Immortal Fox Secret Realm is extremely different. I don't know if this is a special case or if all future secret realms will be as dangerous. This matter has not yet been determined. When the elders return victorious, I will report the situation truthfully and make further plans. Before that, everyone must be careful with their words and actions and not let the news leak out."

Lingzhi said, "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I won't let anything slip."

Nanwang said: "I am very strict with my mouth."

Zhan Chenming said: "I haven't stepped out of the sect in the past two days, so I know nothing about the secret realm."

Lingzhi, Nanwang: "..."

"Then I'll be relieved."

Du Xueling nodded and looked at Nanwang:

"Come on, Junior Brother, let's go to the Reincarnation Hall."

…

Since the elders were not there, there were not many people in the Qingyun Hall. Only some disciples in charge of handling paperwork were busy with their heads down.

When the disciples saw Du Xueling, they all stood up and greeted her: "Hello, Senior Sister."

Du Xueling nodded slightly and walked forward without looking around.

All eyes fell on Nan Wang, but Nan Wang didn't care about them. All he cared about was An Nuo's safety.

Nanwang had never been to the area behind the Qingyun Palace. As a chores disciple, he could only sweep the ground on the Panlong Mountains at most and had no chance to go any higher.

Outer disciples do have the opportunity to clean the hall, but Nanwang was promoted to an outer disciple too quickly, and the outer elders haven't had time to arrange work for him, and now he has to be promoted to the inner disciple.

Passing through the Qingyun Hall and entering the inner hall square, there are several attic-like buildings around. Walking further and crossing a small path, you will arrive at the reincarnation hall mentioned by Du Xueling.

The Reincarnation Hall was empty. Inside was a table for memorial ceremonies, on which were placed offerings and tablets. There were eternal lamps on both sides, and the whole palace gave people an extremely solemn and dignified feeling.

Du Xueling walked in, came to a wall without looking around, took out the true disciple's card and inserted it into the groove on the wall.

The groove swallowed the card and disappeared. After a moment, a secret door appeared in its place.

Nan Wang felt his scalp tingling as he watched, and he always felt that he was exposed to something extraordinary.

Du Xueling didn't stop for a moment, opened the secret door and walked forward. Nan Wang could only suppress his nervousness and follow.

There is a cave hidden behind the secret door.

There is a clear spring in the cave with lotus flowers blooming in the spring. There are clouds and mist flying all around, making it seem like a fairyland.

Zhu Tianque had received the message long ago and was standing on the shore waiting for them.

When he saw the person, he turned around and asked, "How is it?"

"Everything went well. Fifth Junior Sister has returned to the sect."

Du Xueling said in a relaxed tone.

Behind these simple words lie countless difficulties and obstacles.

However, Du Xueling had no plans to discuss those things. The words "everything goes well" were the best reward for her trip.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Tianque simply said, "That's great."

Nanwang said timidly: "Big, big brother..."

Zhu Tianque waved his hand and interrupted Nanwang: "I know why you came. Today, a fairy beast was reincarnated. It should be sent to the tribe for breeding. But you brought back the fifth junior sister this time, which is also a great achievement. The elders are not in the sect now, and I will be in charge of the affairs of the reincarnation hall. I will pretend that I didn't see where this fairy beast went."

Having said that, he stepped into the pool, observed it carefully, selected a half-opened lotus, and pushed it towards Nanwang.

Nan Wang squatted down and covered the lotus with his hands.

The moment the lotus touched the fingers, it trembled slightly, then unfolded all its petals, revealing the fairy beast hidden within.

A tiny rabbit was lying on the lotus with its eyes closed. As if it sensed the disappearance of the cover, it slowly opened its eyes, and its slender ears trembled slightly in the air.

Nan Wang extended his hand to the little rabbit with red eyes.

The little rabbit sniffed his fingers, then stretched out its cute little tongue and licked his fingertips.

Du Xueling calmly sent a message to Zhu Tianque: "Is this the immortal beast that was born today?"

Zhu Tianque looked at her and did not answer.

Du Xueling's heart sank at once.

She knew the answer.

This newborn fairy beast probably has nothing to do with the one in Nanwang.

Immortal beasts are born every once in a while, and no one knows the exact time and frequency. However, although Zhu Tianque is indeed the person in charge of the Reincarnation Hall, the immortal beasts do not need to be managed by humans. Newly born immortal beasts will leave the Reincarnation Hall on their own and integrate into the tribe.

As for this secret room that can only be entered with the card of a true disciple - the card of a true disciple can enter and exit all places in the sect, and the authority is higher than that of the inner sect elders. It is just a small secret room and it is not a big deal at all.

There are no miracles, let alone special cases. This is just a ranch where fairy beasts are born in large numbers.

From the very beginning, Du Xueling never held the idea that the immortal beast that died in Nan Wang would definitely be resurrected. Her concessions and compromises were only because the person she was facing was Nan Wang.

If Nan Wang wants a fairy beast, then give him one. If Nan Wang wants an exception, then give him an exception. However, if Nan Wang insists on resurrecting the original fairy beast, then - then he can only ask the Immortal Lord for help.

To be fair, Du Xueling actually didn't want to go that far, because a cultivator shouldn't have such an obsession to change his fate and ignore facts. If he wanted everything to go according to his will, the ultimate result would be to go astray.

The same goes for the matter of my junior sister, and even more so for the matter of the fairy beast.

Nanwang played with the rabbit for a long time, and then took out a carrot biscuit from the storage bag and handed it to the rabbit. When the rabbit was full and sleepy, he slowly stood up and said bitterly, "The fairy beast has a spirit, so let it stay here."

Du Xueling frowned: "Junior brother..."

"I know, Senior Sister, this, this is not my Nuonuo."

As Nan Wang spoke, he lifted his sleeves to wipe away his tears.

He bit his lower lip, almost bursting into tears, and tried his best to barely utter a complete sentence:

"Nuonuo will never come back. It's all my fault. I was too weak. I don't even know what happened..."

"Don't make any conclusions before everything is settled." Du Xueling said sternly, "We are not at the end of our rope yet. Let's go see the Immortal Venerable. Maybe he can help us."

"Wait, he can go to see the Immortal Lord, but you can't go."

Zhu Tianque took out a fan from somewhere and waved it leisurely.

Du Xueling was puzzled and asked, "What? Why?"

Zhu Tianque: "Because the Immortal Venerable only said he wanted to see him, not you."

Du Xueling: "...When did the Immortal Lord say that?"

Zhu Tianque: “One hour ago.”

Du Xueling: “…”
