After this experience, everyone was exhausted but gained a lot.
Even the Fifth Elder and Nian Wanzhou felt the same way; they had gained so much. The Fifth Elder took the lead in picking up a pile of trash, and Nian Wanzhou also picked up a "unique" wooden stick to take back.
The remaining disciples followed suit, picking up a little bit of everything and taking it back with them.
This is a forbidden area, a secret realm where there's no turning back. I might never have the chance to come back again, so naturally I have to pick up some trash... well, not really... keep the good stuff as souvenirs!
Upon returning to the sect, the injured disciples were sent for treatment, while those who were alright went up to report the situation.
The Fifth Elder also rushed off to inform the Sect Master.
They've got a lot to do now.
As for Nian Wanzhou... she went to the cafeteria for a super lavish meal, then went back to take a hot bath and went to sleep.
As for the delicate, watery girl who was rescued, the senior disciple paid her no further attention, his mind entirely focused on Wei Wenru. In the end, the girl was taken away by her fellow disciples and returned home.
Before leaving, Wei Wenru woke up and saw this beauty.
No one deliberately mentioned this beauty, treating her as a passerby, as if she didn't exist, and even more afraid that the senior sister might misunderstand. The little incident quickly passed.
...
Within the Heavenly Mystery Sect.
Lexi was once again trapped in her cave by the Grand Elder, under the same familiar restriction.
He initially intended to secretly follow the Fifth Elder out, since they were going to rescue his senior sister. How could he not go? She was his eldest senior sister, and she was in trouble!
Unfortunately, he still couldn't keep up with the Fifth Elder and break free from his master's restrictions.
They watched helplessly as that arrogant kid left with the Fifth Elder.
Jealousy distorted him beyond recognition.
He was locked in his cave and never even stepped outside, let alone went out to rescue people.
Lexi racked her brains but still couldn't understand why her master had suddenly become like this, what happened to her senior sister, and why her master wouldn't let him help.
He is, after all, an outstanding disciple at the Golden Core stage, so why can't he go? Why can Nian Wanzhou go? Why should he have to stay in this dilapidated cave dwelling?
He was indignant. Why should he be the one to complain?
That brat doesn't even have much cultivation, he's incredibly weak, so why should she be allowed to go with him?
He's going to confront his master!
Lexi grew angrier the more she thought about it, wishing she could rush out and get to the bottom of this.
pity......
The formation in this cave was set up by my master himself. Even if he could defeat many outstanding disciples, he still couldn't break this formation.
He was unwilling to accept it, truly unwilling to accept it!
He's so angry!
Lexi started to give up on herself again, lying on the ground to vent her frustrations.
Meanwhile, the Grand Elder lay dejectedly on his soft couch, his heart filled with anxiety and unease. He had no mind to heal himself, nor did he care about Lexi. All he could think about was his daughter.
That secret realm is so dangerous; I wonder if my daughter will be in any danger.
Thinking this, the elder became somewhat restless.
He got up, dressed, walked to the window, and opened it. A gust of cold wind rushed into the room, making him shiver.
The elder sighed again, turned around and lay back down on the bed, regulating his breathing and internal energy. Under the repair of the Nourishing Pill, his body and mind gradually calmed down.
About half an hour later, the Grand Elder heard a commotion outside, followed by a disciple knocking on his door: "Grand Elder, Grand Elder!"
The Grand Elder frowned. What could be happening at this time? Could it be that Wen Ru and the others have returned? Indeed, he had sensed a familiar presence returning outside the sect.
"What is it?"
The disciple reported anxiously yet happily, "Fifth Elder has returned with Senior Brother and Senior Sister!"
"Good!" The Grand Elder stood up abruptly. Wen Ru and the others had returned safely to the sect!
A look of wild joy flashed across the elder's face. He hurriedly headed towards the mountain gate to find his daughter, having already decided to give Wenru a good boost of nutrition.
The elder traveled swiftly and soon arrived at the mountain gate.
As soon as he stepped into the sect, he saw Wei Wenru, who looked quite well, and hurriedly went up to check on her: "Wenru, you're finally back!"
Wen Ru looked up, saw the Grand Elder, and smiled brightly, "Father!"
Looking at her father, Wei Wenru was so moved that tears almost welled up in her eyes. During this time, her father had been anxiously waiting for her news. He must be exhausted.
"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright!" The First Elder hugged Wei Wenru excitedly.
When Wei Wenru returned, her injuries had almost completely healed. In order not to worry her father too much, she also took a lot of pills to help her recover.
The elixirs were prepared by Junior Sister and Song Yan together.
"Wenru, what exactly happened? Father has been unable to contact you, and why were you transported to that secret realm?" The Grand Elder asked, voicing his doubts.
"Father, my fellow disciples and I were taken away by a black beam of light and taken to an unfamiliar secret realm. We were trapped inside and only managed to get out when the Fifth Elder came to our rescue." Wei Wenru explained briefly, and then told about her experience during this training. "In the secret realm, I encountered a group of demonic beasts. Everyone fought desperately, but we still ended up in danger."
Wei Wenru briefly summarized what happened inside and then expressed her doubts: "I suspect that the target of this attack is actually me, and only secondarily the disciples of the sect and other cultivators with extremely high cultivation talent. Because only our Tianji Sect and those cultivators were trapped in the deepest part of the secret realm and encountered many things, especially that sudden demonized spirit beast tide, which is not simple at all."
They almost lost their lives inside.
The Grand Elder pondered for a moment, also finding the matter highly credible, but he remained puzzled: "But why target our Heavenly Mystery Sect, especially you? And you were the one who suffered the most. We must keep this a secret; it can't be allowed to reach outsiders. It would be detrimental to you!"
His words were an implication to Wei Wenru that her suspicion might be true.
"Yes! I'm sorry to have worried Father. It was my fault," Wei Wenru replied obediently.
The First Elder patted Wei Wenru on the shoulder: "You should rest well for a few days. You don't need to go out for a walk these days. I will send someone to inform you if there are any changes."
"Alright, Father, you should also take good care of your injuries. This is a treasure that I found in the secret realm. It has a nourishing effect and is just right for you!" Wei Wenru took out a fist-sized pearl and stuffed it into the hands of the Grand Elder.
She went to great lengths to get this.
"Thank you, daughter! You're welcome!" His good daughter gave it to him, so he had to keep it safe, hehehe!
The Grand Elder happily put away the treasure, and then specially lifted the restriction on the other side of Lexi before cheerfully returning to his own peak to recuperate.
