Mo Yan's seclusion lasted even longer than Shen Yunhao's, and it wasn't until two months later that the runes on the altar at the top of the castle completely disappeared.
It wasn't until the day he emerged from seclusion that Shen Yunhao realized the spiritual energy left behind by Han Xiaozi had been completely absorbed.
Although restricted by the rules of the secret realm, the little sister's cultivation level has been suppressed to the Soul Control Realm, but to the naked eye, both her condition and aura have improved considerably.
She stretched and walked out of the altar, just in time to see Shen Yunhao and Shuang'er standing side by side, clearly much more familiar with each other, and a sense of dissatisfaction inexplicably arose in her heart.
"Oh! It seems you all got along quite well while I was in seclusion?"
"Nonsense... After you went into seclusion, it was just the two of us in the entire castle. Were we going to fight every day?"
"snort!"
Mo Yan snorted, glanced at Shen Yunhao, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "I feel your aura has become much stronger... How many packs have you been licking lately?"
Shen Yunhao ignored her, rolled his eyes and said, "Now that you're out of seclusion, let's hurry up and leave. Even if time flows slowly here, no one knows how much time has passed outside."
"Walk?"
Mo Yan stroked her chin and looked at Shuang'er, who was standing not far away in a plain-colored long dress.
Shuang'er seemed to understand something, and lowered her eyes slightly, "After leaving the Frost Marrow Secret Realm, I have other things to do and won't stay long, so you can rest assured..."
Clearly, for reasons unknown, Shuang'er declined Shen Yunhao's invitation to see the world together.
Mo Yan nodded in satisfaction, then paused, and said angrily, "What do you mean I can rest assured? What does it have to do with me where you go? What do I have to worry about?"
...
After leaving the Ice Castle, the group easily traversed the Nest of Frost Marrow and the Ice Abyss Corridor, and returned to the original Ice Cave Secret Realm through the ice gate.
After returning to the blue cave where they started, Shuang'er's eyes revealed a faint, complex expression as she turned to look at Shen Yunhao.
"Alright, let's... part ways here!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunhao was slightly startled.
"Here? Shuang'er, do you know if there are other exits to this secret realm?"
The girl shook her head and slowly explained, "For me, this secret realm is an exit everywhere, but none of you have the ability to enter and exit freely like me. You can only leave through the pre-set exits."
Shen Yunhao was stunned for a long time before he began to understand the meaning of the word "empty illusion" and began to speculate more about Shuang'er's abilities...
But he still asked, "You really aren't coming out with us?"
"No!" This time, the girl suppressed the complex emotions in her eyes with a calm expression. "If you're heading towards the Tai Xuan Dao Sect, not only will I be of no help, but I might also cause you a lot of trouble..."
"..."
Shen Yunhao wanted to say, couldn't she hide in his soul like Han Haixin and slip away...?
But upon reflection, I realized that not long ago I had emphasized that I treated people as real people, not as tools, so it would be inappropriate to make such a request now.
Moreover, what Shuang'er said is true... If something unexpected happens in the Tai Xuan Dao Sect, those who follow her will be implicated instead.
No matter where it is placed, a divine artifact is an object that attracts extreme envy.
"In that case, we'll meet again someday."
Until we meet again!
The girl took two steps forward, paused and hesitated for a long time, then suddenly turned around and looked at Shen Yunhao seriously.
"Thanks!"
This seemed to be the first time Shuang'er had thanked Shen Yunhao since he returned the Heavenly Essence to him. It was somewhat abrupt, but also reasonable.
Shen Yunhao waved his hand, "You're welcome!"
The girl completely disappeared into the ice cave. Shen Yunhao stared at her for a long time until Mo Yan next to him kicked his butt in dissatisfaction.
"Stop looking! The person's gone, what's the point of staring?"
As he spoke, he stroked his chin. "I feel like you've fallen short of expectations this time. With your level of expertise, it should be easy for you to keep this clueless little girl!"
"Come on, your jealousy is so strong it could float to the sky. What if they stay? They'll just be getting glared at by you every day!"
"What are you saying here? Do you think I'm some silly ice fairy? Who would be so jealous of you? It's really ridiculous... Hey, where are you going? Wait for me!"
"Let's go! It's time to get out!"
Following their memories, the two quickly found Zhou Qing, the cultivator from the Tai Xuan Dao sect.
Because of the presence of the Heart-Eating Vine, this thing stayed in the ice cave without daring to move, waiting for three or four months!
...
Blue light flowed across the teleportation array, and Shen Yunhao felt his body enveloped by a strange power, making the ice crystal cave in front of him blurry.
Zhou Qing's somewhat joyful voice came from beside us: "The teleportation array has been successfully activated. We'll be able to return to the Tai Xuan Dao Sect soon..."
"I advise you not to try anything funny!"
Mo Yan's cold voice rang out, "If I wanted to kill you, I could obliterate your soul in the blink of an eye. Those old fogies of the Tai Xuan Dao Sect wouldn't be able to save you..."
"I...I understand! I will definitely cooperate!"
Zhou Qing was already afraid of death, and the current Mo Yan was clearly even more terrifying than before, so he couldn't muster the slightest thought of rebellion.
"After all, this is the Tai Xuan Dao Sect... I hope everything goes smoothly..."
The moment the thought crossed Shen Yunhao's mind, a dizzying sensation struck him, and he felt as if he had been thrown into a tumbling drum.
After a long while, when he was able to see his surroundings again, the pitch-black and dim scene before him made his heart tighten.
