Chapter 55 Top

Nan Wang was sent to Panlong Palace by Du Xueling with a confused look on his face.

The Panlong Palace is not on the Qingyun Mountain, but stands in the air on the side of the dragon head. When the fog is heavy, the whole palace is shrouded in fog and cannot be seen clearly, as if it does not exist at all.

In the past, when Nanwang was sweeping the stairs, he would often look up at the palace in the sky. In his impression, the location of the palace seemed to be constantly changing. Sometimes it was on the left side of the dragon head, sometimes on the right side of the dragon head, and sometimes it was not on either side. It might have run to the top of the dragon head.

It is not easy to enter the Panlong Palace, but with Du Xueling here, it is not a problem.

Du Xueling escorted Nanwang to the entrance and whispered, "Since the Immortal Venerable did not call me, I can only send you here. Go ahead, Junior Brother."

Nan Wang nodded, rubbed the rabbit in his arms, turned and walked towards the main hall.

The rabbit was a newly born rabbit in the lotus pond. It was small, soft, and extremely fragile. It was so sleepy that it could not even open its eyes. It had to be moved around by these bad guys, and it could only vent its anger by gnawing on carrot cookies.

Nan Wang didn't plan to bring Tutu with him, but Du Xueling insisted that he bring her along, saying it was just in case.

As for just in case, Du Xueling refused to say. Nan Wang... Nan Wang didn't want to guess either, it was too difficult.

After the battle in the Fairy Fox Secret Realm, he realized very clearly that it was impossible for him to guess what his fellow brothers and sisters were thinking.

He is an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years. It is easy for him to bully a kid whose age is only in the two digits.

"Junior brother..."

Before Nan Wang pushed open the palace door, he heard Du Xueling's voice again.

So he stopped, turned around, and looked at Du Xueling from afar across the long stairs.

"Junior brother, you must not forget." Du Xueling said in a dry tone with a complicated expression: "We agreed that you would... join the Sword Sect."

"Ah? That's natural."

Although Nanwang didn't understand why, he still nodded and promised:

"No matter what happens, I will insist on joining the Sword Sect! Don't worry, Senior Sister!"

Not far away, Du Xueling watched Nan Wang's figure gradually disappear and let out a long sigh.

She was standing alone in the square surrounded by clouds and mist, looking extremely lonely.

…

Nan Wang stepped into the Panlong Palace cautiously.

After just two steps, he felt like he had come to the wrong place.

The furnishings here are exactly the same as those in the Qingyun Hall. It is a complete replica of the Qingyun Hall.

However, this place is much more desolate than the Qingyun Palace.

The Qingyun Hall is where the inner disciples do their clerical work. It is also where the inner elders often gather to discuss philosophy. Even if there is no one here for a few days, there will be outer disciples taking turns to clean and patrol the place regularly. Apart from anything else, it ensures that the place is spotless and in good order.

However, the Panlong Palace was completely deserted. The tables and chairs were worn out and covered in dust. The columns were cracked and the paint was damaged. There were dense spider webs in the corners, making it look like a deserted palace that had been abandoned long ago.

At the highest place in the Deserted Palace, the most honorable leader of the entire Qingyun Sect, Immortal Master, was sitting there.

Nanwang still remembered the first time he met the Immortal Master. Just one look at him made him feel a burning pain in his eyes, his head felt dizzy, and he almost fainted.

But this time, he easily took in the appearance of the Immortal Master.

He looked like a young man, with a rather immature appearance, snow-white hair and red eyes. He did not look like an ordinary person. The skin exposed outside his clothes was as white as first snow, but the snow was covered with mysterious ancient spells, densely packed and arranged in disorder. It looked a bit creepy at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it seemed a bit eerie.

Compared to the fact that he could suddenly look directly at the Sect Master Immortal Venerable, and that the Sect Master Immortal Venerable looked obviously different from the last time, what lingered in Nanwang's mind at this moment was another more terrifying and shocking thing -

His feeling came back.

It was that subtle sense of connection that he could only sense when An Nuo was by his side.

Nan Wang took a deep, long breath of cool air.

If he hadn't remembered that he was standing in front of the most honorable person in the entire Qingyun Sect, he would even want to raise his hand to pinch his philtrum to see if he was hallucinating.

On the high platform, the young immortal slowly spoke: "I will tell you three things, don't be afraid."

Nanwang: "...Nuonuo?"

The young Immortal was silent for a moment, then said, "Yes, that's the first thing I wanted to say."

Nanwang: “…”

Roll your eyes.

An Nuo jumped down from the high seat in one stride, and even tripped on the steps because of his short legs. After staggering two steps, he finally rushed in front of Nan Wang and supported Nan Wang who fell down due to his weak legs in time.

The two of them almost fell into a heap.

In the end, Nan Wang supported himself, held An Nuo in his arms, and sat down on the ground with difficulty.

Nanwang took deep breaths repeatedly to steady his shaky consciousness.

After a long pause, he finally had some strength and spoke with difficulty:

"So, so you really are... the Immortal Master?"

An Nuo: "Obviously, I am not."

Nanwang: “…How do you say that?”

An Nuo sighed, helped Nan Wang to sit on the stairs, and then sat down himself.

He was wearing a white robe that could almost be called simple. The sleeves and legs were very short, and there was no cloth on his hands and feet. He looked even less imposing than the robes of outer disciples. It looked more like a simple coarse linen robe designed by disciples in the menial service department for the convenience of doing their work.

Compared to the high and mighty Immortal Lord, he was more like a rich young man who secretly wore a servant's clothes.

Nanwang asked tremblingly, "You are not the Immortal Venerable, then, then what about the Immortal Venerable?"

“That’s the second thing I want to say.”

Annuo held his chin in his hand and said helplessly:

"When I woke up, I was in this body. There was a consciousness in this body, but after we talked for a few words, he...ran away."

Nanwang: “???”

Annuo continued:

"At first I didn't realize he was the Immortal Master. I thought he was just another rabbit in our group, so when he said he was willing to give his body to me, I didn't think too much about it. But after I woke up, I realized that things had turned out like this... To put it simply, my consciousness should have returned to the Immortal Beast, but now, my consciousness has occupied the Immortal Master's body, and the Immortal Master's consciousness... probably returned to the Immortal Beast for me."

Nanwang was overwhelmed after hearing this: "Then, when can you be exchanged back? The Qingyun Sect can't be without a leader, right?"

An Nuo: "Well, this brings us to... the third thing I want to talk about."

Nan Wang's tears were welling up in his eyes: "Grand Sister told me three pieces of news, two of which were good news and only one was bad news. Now you have told me two pieces of bad news, is the third one good news?"

An Nuo: “…”

He was silent for a moment and observed Nanwang's expression.

Nan Wang sniffed and said firmly, "Just tell me, I can handle it."

An Nuo: "The third thing is that I waited for a long time, but the Immortal Venerable didn't come back. I reasonably suspected that he might not want to come back..."

Nanwang: “???”

An Nuo: "I didn't talk to him for a long time, and I couldn't guess exactly what he wanted to do. Through the brief communication between him and me, I roughly guessed that it was like a canary that had been trapped by responsibilities and missions for tens of thousands of years and suddenly escaped from the cage. It wanted to enjoy its free life and didn't want to go back to the cage no matter what... Can you understand?"

Nanwang: “I can’t.”

An Nuo let out a long sigh: "To be honest, I can't do that either."

Nanwang: “…”

An Nuo: "In short, the Immortal Master is unwilling to come back now, and I can't leave my body and find another one. If he doesn't come back to replace me, I can't leave. It's like being trapped in this body."

Nan Wang was anxious: "No, this, what should I do..."

An Nuo sighed again: "If it really doesn't work, I can only pretend to be the head immortal for a period of time, but I don't know how long I can keep it a secret..."

Nanwang: “…”

He rolled his eyes again.

An Nuo was also anxious: "Can you be stronger? You just feel dizzy, but I'm not dizzy at all!"

"...How can you make me strong? This, this, I...what should we do in the future?"

Nan Wang was so shocked that he couldn't speak clearly, and his face showed that he had no desire to live.

Logically, he should be happy to find out that An Nuo was not dead. In fact, he was happy. But at the same time, the fact that An Nuo became the head immortal was still a huge shock to him.

He felt happy for a moment, and then in disbelief, unbelievability, and a dream. He was almost torn in two.

An Nuo sighed and said, "I don't know what to do. You have to help me find a solution."

Nan Wang said in despair, "How can I do this? You know my cultivation and my abilities very well, don't you?"

An Nuo closed his eyes and said in a shameless manner: "I don't care. Marry a chicken and follow the chicken. Marry a dog and follow the dog. I am your rabbit. If something happens to me, you will also be responsible. You must help me find a solution."

Nanwang: “…”

He grabbed his hair, sniffed and said:

"How about we ask Senior Sister for help? Maybe Senior Sister can help..."

An Nuo shook his head like a wave drum: "No, the relationship between the true disciples and our immortal beasts is not good. If the true disciples knew that I occupied the body of the head immortal, I would be in danger. They might destroy my consciousness and force the head immortal to return. If the immortal comes back, I will be in trouble."

Nan Wang now realized the risk.

The head immortal is the most important person in the entire sect. His status and significance are self-evident. However, Annuo is just an immortal beast that can be seen everywhere. There is no need to judge who is more important.

"No, they can't know... This matter must be kept secret."

Nan Wang's expression gradually softened.

In the face of the huge crisis, his violent heartbeat gradually subsided.

"We must find the Immortal Master back, but before that, we must not let anyone find out... the Immortal Master has been replaced."
