Tian Ning didn't speak.
She took a few steps back, left the iron cage, and kindly put the two iron pillars she had just broken back to their original positions.
Then she turned around and waved goodbye to the man.
The implications of running away alone are self-evident.
man:"……"
Hey! Couldn't you at least try to negotiate a lower price?
There's still room for everyone to compromise. Does everyone have to be so cold and heartless?!
The man wasn't stupid; he knew exactly who was begging whom, and quickly said:
"No, don't go! What do you want to know? I can tell you, but you have to swear an oath to the heavens that you will definitely take me out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tianning quickened his pace.
man:"……"
"Okay... I'll tell you everything I know about what you're asking about, alright? I... I'll swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao with you!"
Tian Ning then stopped and spoke succinctly:
"Let's stand."
man:"……"
So she really isn't worried at all about what to do if the Xuanyuan family comes back.
She was just a girl who had lost her spiritual power...
Unfortunately, the man didn't have the mental fortitude to continue negotiating with Tianning. He didn't dare to gamble. If he lost this opportunity, would there be a second chance to escape in the future?
If not, he'll waste his entire life here!
In order not to waste time, the two quickly made a vow to Heaven, and the man told everything he knew.
The Xuanyuan family is not as glamorous as it appears on the surface. In order to continue the family's special bloodline and ensure that the next generation is born with extraordinary talents, the family members have always formed Daoist couples with each other.
Even siblings born of the same mother are no exception.
This is no secret. For many years, the Xuanyuan family has indeed used this method to continue their bloodline, and their descendants are much stronger than their peers in terms of cultivation.
But no one knows the price that was paid for this.
Tianning also found it strange. Consanguineous marriage would most likely result in birth defects, but she and her fellow disciples searched through historical records and found no record of birth defects in the glorious history of the Xuanyuan family.
Like a favored child of heaven, is Xuanyuan really that lucky?
Now, having learned the truth from those in the know, the long-buried secret has been laid bare before everyone three thousand years later.
The Xuanyuan family often gives birth to children with physical disabilities. The Floating Life Giant Tree is not a rare spiritual plant that can help with repair. It was the ancestor of the Xuanyuan family, Xuanyuan Hengzhi, who cultivated the Floating Life Giant Tree with the blood and flesh of the Xuanyuan clan.
Every year, the Floating Life Tree needs to absorb a large amount of flesh and blood from the Xuanyuan clan as nutrients in order to produce a few Floating Life Fruits that greatly increase the clan's cultivation. Those deformed children who cannot be revealed to the world become the sacrifices...
Children with all their limbs intact were kept, while those with deformities became nourishment for the giant tree of life.
This not only gets rid of the shady stuff, but also ensures the annual yield of floating fruit.
As the Floating Life Tree grew larger and larger, requiring more and more nutrients, the old beast simply kept the deformed children in captivity, raising them like livestock, so that they would give birth to a continuous stream of flesh and blood to nourish the Floating Life Tree.
This dungeon is the secret that the Xuanyuan family has been hiding.
After learning the truth, Tianning followed the man's directions and found the secret passage to escape.
The secret passage led to the outskirts of Fusheng City, a sparsely populated area. Tianning and the man made no noise.
Along the way, the man was carried by Tianning as lightly as a chick until they were put down by a river.
What's your name?
Tianning tore a piece of cloth from the corner of her clothes and wet it. She felt that the man's face looked somewhat familiar, but he was dirty all over and had stubble on his face, so she couldn't recognize his original appearance at all.
