Although he didn't know how much time had passed outside, Rong Zi had spent more than six years in the Yin-Yang Twin Pole Cave.
After six years apart, she was momentarily stunned to see these familiar faces before her.
Everyone was staring at her, waiting for her to explain.
Rong Zi put one arm around Yun Jing and Ning Lingling in his arms and quickly raised his hand to say something.
"Wait, wait, stop!"
She straightened up and then asked, "First, answer me one question: Where is this place?"
The apprentices looked at each other, puzzled as to what was wrong with Rong Zi.
Gu Xiaochui replied, "The exit of the Soul Cave, Master, what's wrong? Have you lost your memory?"
"The exit of the Soul Cave?"
Rong Zi glanced around and, seeing that there was no one else besides her five disciples, asked again, "Human territory?"
This Yin-Yang Twin Pole Cave is really something!
Not only did they kick her out, they also kicked her all the way from the forbidden land of the demons back to the territory of the human race.
Wow!
She thought that after she came out of the Demon Realm's forbidden area, she would be sent directly to the Demon Realm.
It now appears that they actually sent her back the way she came.
"That's right, if it's not human territory, then it could be demon territory, right?"
Gu Xiaochui was puzzled by her question. "Have you forgotten? Two months ago, led by a few little devils, we came to the exit of the Soul Cave. But when we came out, we found that Master was nowhere to be found."
They've been extremely anxious for the past two months.
In order to find their master, they even went into the Soul Cave again.
As a result, they searched the entire Soul Cave from top to bottom, but still couldn't find anyone.
The little devils in the Soul Cave also said they had never seen their master again.
Finally, having exhausted all other options, they could only return to the place where their master had disappeared and wait there.
Fortunately, they finally got what they were waiting for.
After listening, Rong Zi raised an eyebrow and asked, "So, it's been two months since I disappeared?"
Goodness.
She spent more than six years inside, but only two months passed outside?
Gu Xiaochui, unaware of Rong Zi's thoughts, nodded and replied, "Yes, for a full two months."
Yun Jing tugged at her sleeve, looked up at her with a concerned expression, and asked her.
"Master, where have you been these past two months?"
Rong Zi pinched the tip of his nose and asked a question in a somewhat meaningful tone.
"If I told you I went and leveled up, would you believe me?"
In just two months, he raised his cultivation level from level 43 to level 99.
If we told them directly, they would probably be terrified.
Yun Jing naturally didn't understand the meaning behind Rong Zi's words, and tilted her head in confusion, "Hmm?"
Not only him, but the others didn't understand either.
upgrade?
What level should I upgrade to?
"Never mind, I'll explain this to you all later."
Seeing that Qi Yufei and Xi Ling'er were not there, Rong Zi asked in confusion, "Where are the fourth and fifth brothers? Why aren't they here?"
All five apprentices are here, so why are only these two missing?
Upon hearing this, the apprentices exchanged glances.
Gu Xiaochui hesitated for a moment before replying, "They were taken away by their families."
Rong Zi was taken aback. "Family? People from the Spirit Medicine Valley are here too?"
"Okay." Gu Xiaochui nodded and began to explain to Rong Zi.
"Xu Liuhan risked her life to send all of us into the Soul Cave. After we entered the Soul Cave, the entrance and exit automatically closed."
"It is said that if the entrance to the Soul Cave is sealed by human hands, it will take two months to reopen. Evil spirits roam the Soul Cave, and at that time, people outside thought that we might never be able to get out again."
Rong Zi listened and nodded, then pressed for an answer: "And then?"
Gu Xiaochui continued speaking.
"Fourth Junior Brother's father also heard about this. I heard that he rushed over in a flying boat. When he learned that Fourth Junior Brother was in the Soul Cave, he was so frightened that he almost fainted."
Sitting in a flying boat...
No wonder he's the richest man in the cultivation world.
This mode of transportation is quite luxurious.
Gu Xiaochui continued, "So, as soon as we came out two months ago, he cried and begged that Fourth Junior Brother should come home, or he would kill himself. Fourth Junior Brother refused, so he simply had someone tie him up and take him back."
Rong Zi: "..."
Her fourth apprentice's father... is quite lively.
She was still crying and shouting.
That scene...
It's really hard to imagine.
Rong Zi raised a hand and pinched the bridge of her nose, asking, "You didn't do anything about it either?"
Gu Xiaochui shook his head. "We were all in a hurry to find you, how could we have the energy to care about him? Anyway, he's his own father, he wouldn't harm him."
Rong Zi was speechless.
"And what about your fifth junior sister?"
Gu Xiaochui replied, "Fifth Junior Sister's father didn't cry or shout. He's at the Integration Stage. When he heard that Fifth Junior Sister had joined our Rongling Sect, he was furious. He easily took her away with a wave of his hand and said that he would personally come to settle accounts with you in the future."
Rong Zi raised her finger and pointed to herself.
"You want to settle scores with me?"
Gu Xiaochui replied, "Yes, Patriarch Xi didn't know that you were our master. He thought that the sect leader of our Rongling Sect was someone else. He believed that Fifth Junior Sister must have been deceived by you to join our Rongling Sect. So, when he took Fifth Junior Sister away two months ago, he made a harsh statement, telling you to wait in the Rongling Sect."
A cultivator can only join one sect in their lifetime.
