Sheng Ning and his group did not leave the Northern Region immediately.
The Qi family provided a great deal of assistance during their trip to the Northern Secret Realm.
With Qi Wenyao's help, the six disciples, along with one infant spirit, went directly to the Qi family after leaving the secret realm.
The head of the Qi family seemed to have known all along that they would be returning.
After they returned, their already beaming faces became even more radiant with smiles.
"Congratulations on your triumphant return, my young friends! Your return truly brings honor to my humble abode!"
Sheng Ning and his group had just gained a foothold.
Upon hearing what Master Qi said, the six people all raised their heads and glanced at the so-called 'humble abode' behind him.
His lips twitched slightly.
Before Sheng Ning and the other six could speak, Qi Wenyao's joyful, tearful voice rang out behind them.
"Father, your son is back!"
After bypassing Sheng Ning and the other six, Qi Wenyao walked excitedly toward his father.
Seeing his own father walking towards him with an excited expression, a faint blush appeared on his face.
"Father, you have no idea what I encountered in the secret realm."
"Waaaaah, Father! My young heart has been terribly wounded in this secret realm, Father..."
"Father, why did you hit me?!"
Seeing his father raise his arms, Qi Wenyao naturally went to greet him and embrace the man he hadn't seen in a long time, crying out about the deep bond between father and son.
But as soon as he stepped forward, he was slapped aside.
When he turned to look at his father while covering his injured cheek, he saw the latter open his arms and warmly embrace Su Daiyuan and the others.
Qi Wenyao: "...So, a world where only I am injured has been achieved?"
Sheng Ning stood to the side and couldn't help but chuckle when she saw his injured expression.
Master Qi finally calmed down from his excitement. He glanced at the handprint on his silly son's face, chuckled, and then turned to look at Sheng Ning.
"Young friend Sheng, my wife has woken up. Would you like to go and see her?"
"Madam Qi is awake? That's wonderful!"
"What?! My mother is awake?! Father, am I even your biological son? My mother is awake and you won't let me see her, you're sending Sheng Ning to see her first?!"
Unlike Sheng Ning's tone of surprise.
Qi Wenyao jumped up in anger, grabbed Old Master Qi's shoulder and shook him violently.
The six Sheng Ning brothers and sisters smiled as they watched the scene unfold before them.
Once the commotion at the doorway had subsided somewhat, Master Qi finally turned his gaze to the unfamiliar face on the side.
Although he had given all his divine power to his wife, he, being a god in his past life, still recognized Xianying's identity at a glance.
"A demon? Or a powerful demon?"
"Father, you have a good eye! This is the demon clan chief, Xianying. Father, can you guess where the demon clan has been hiding all these years?"
Qi Wenyao was astonished that his own father could recognize Xianying's identity at a glance. In his mind, his father was a businessman who valued profit above all else.
In order to resurrect his mother, he also carried the label of a devoted old man.
I never imagined his father would be so amazing.
Master Qi glanced at his foolish son, his thin lips moving slightly, "I never expected that the demon clan patriarch had been hiding in the Northern Domain's secret realm for so long, enduring humiliation and hardship so much. He truly deserves our respect."
Anyone with eyes could see the ill intent in Master Qi's gaze and tone towards the infant.
The infant was not afraid and still stood tall, meeting Master Qi's gaze.
It wasn't until Sheng Ning stepped forward and whispered in Master Qi's ear that the conversation ended.
"The demon race now controls the demon, monster, and evil races. Because the cultivators on the continent lack spiritual energy, their cultivation levels are low. If a real war breaks out, the cultivators will not be able to defeat the demon race."
"Back then, the demon race, along with evil cultivators, utterly defeated the demon race. Xianying fled to the Northern Secret Realm with her subordinates, harboring only hatred for the demon race."
"Why don't we take this opportunity to join forces with the demon race and then beat them to a pulp?"
Master Qi had been in the Northern Region for many years, and besides making a living, he spent his days paying attention to his wife's condition.
Therefore, he knows far less about the current situation on the mainland than Sheng Ning does.
Seeing that Sheng Ning was about to join forces with the demon race, Master Qi frowned and said in a deep voice, "Aren't you afraid of the backlash if you join forces with the demon race?"
Sheng Ning was naturally afraid.
However, since she has already reached an agreement with Xianying, constantly being wary of him will only displease him.
If a conflict arises between the two, the backlash will only be stronger.
Thinking of this, Sheng Ning turned her head to look at Xianying, who was observing her surroundings.
"Is there anything more terrifying than the collapse of the pillar of heaven? The demon race is determined to unify the entire cultivation world. If the demon race succeeds, the consequences will only be worse."
"Things have come to this point, there's no turning back, so we might as well try to move forward."
Master Qi looked at the girl in front of him with her hair in a high ponytail and delicate features.
The image of that person, dressed in fiery red, with eyes brimming with confidence, flashed into my mind.
A slight smile played on his lips as he gently patted her shoulder. "I believe you."
I believe you will surely protect all things in the world.
I believe you will surely overcome all obstacles ahead.
Seeing that he completely trusted her, Sheng Ning couldn't help but raise her hand and touch her nose.
“Master Qi, you don’t need to trust me so much. After all, I’m just a nobody. What I said just now was just to encourage myself.”
Master Qi was taken aback upon hearing this.
He looked into the light in Sheng Ning's eyes, and the next moment, a hearty laugh was heard at the entrance of the Qi family.
Qi Wenyao stood beside Su Daiyuan and saw his father frowning again, looking bitter and resentful.
He was laughing hysterically again, which made me a little worried.
"Fellow Daoist Su, do you think my father went crazy with joy because my mother woke up?"
Otherwise, given his father's emotional shift, he, as the son, was very worried. "After all, my family has such a large fortune, what if my father..."
"With so much money, how am I ever going to spend it all?"
Su Daiyuan was about to say something to comfort the person, but he swallowed it back down as soon as it reached his lips.
A slight smile appeared on his lips as he spoke, "Fellow Daoist Qi, rest assured, Master Qi is in good health and will be safe and sound."
"As for the Qi family's money..."
Su Daiyuan's words made Qi Wenyao exclaim "Ah," his words revealing a hint of regret.
Madam Qi had only been awake for a short time and was very weak.
Sheng Ning accompanied Master Qi to visit Madam Qi. Upon seeing her, Madam Qi's eyes immediately brightened with energy.
"You're finally back. You've improved since last time."
This was the first time Sheng Ning had seen Madam Qi in person.
Compared to the spirit that was in the bamboo house before, Madam Qi's true form has a more fragile beauty.
Sheng Ning sat on the edge of the bed looking at her, the corners of her lips turned up, "You and Master Qi both said that I look like your friend."
"I've even wondered just how similar we must be for you two to feel this way."
"Until I entered a tomb in the secret realm, the owner of the stone coffin in the tomb looked just like me."
