Chapter 901: Chapter 896: Foreign Realm II

"This... this...!?" Nan Shunqing was completely stunned.

He glanced at the powerful Lie Yang cultivators still furiously attacking behind the Taoist, who seemed to be blocked by a red-black light barrier, unable to move further.

A series of golden spheres continuously fell, like chains linked together, rapidly smashing against the light screen, but still ineffective.

"May I ask... may I ask who the Taoist priest’s honored master is...?" Though she had a vague guess, Nan Zhaorong asked in a trembling voice, full of urgency.

The Taoist gave her a peculiar glance.

"My honored master’s name is naturally Supreme Divine Wind, September Sherie the Divine Monarch." He said, bowing respectfully in a certain direction, showing a look of reverence.

Never heard of that name...

Nan Zhaorong looked at Nan Shunqing, who was equally clueless, pondering which great figure had come to the rescue, feeling she must express deep gratitude later.

Her heart was grateful yet slightly relieved, clearly indicating that this Supreme Divine Wind September Sherie the Divine Monarch had nothing to do with her brother.

Just as she was about to say something, wild laughter erupted from the distance again.

"Hahaha, Zhuang Yu, you sure run fast. Can you catch up with your senior brother? If you cause harm to him, I won’t spare you!"

A voice full of confidence and steadiness echoed from afar.

The group looked towards the sound and saw a black cloud surging from the depths of the Purple Light Passage, quickly arriving before them.

The black cloud coiled and twisted, soon forming into a handsome middle-aged man with white whiskers, beside him stood a man in a red robe with a helpless expression.

"So it’s Wei Qing and Prague brothers themselves coming." Zhuang Yu quickly stepped forward and made formal gestures in greeting.

"No need for formality. The journey ahead is perilous, and we are here under the master’s command to escort Qing back home," Wei Qing smiled.

Zhuang Yu was inwardly horrified.

Wei Qing and Prague, both among the ten Netherworld Generals of the Nether Realm, sent by the master to protect the relatively weak Qing, clearly showing Qing’s importance.

He also set aside his disdain for Nan Shunqing.

The two Fierce Sun cultivators realized the unfavorable situation and quietly withdrew, escaping into the distance unnoticed.

To unleash power in the Purple Light Passage, one must be at least a Bright Moon level peak, and the recent arrival could withstand their full-force attack effortlessly, surpassing their strength.

Two more formidable individuals appeared, even calling each other brothers.

Upon sensing the aura, they couldn’t even gauge its depth. Fear surged, and they fled in panic.

As for the Lie Yang level woman, in life and death, she would only stall for a little while.

"Could it be that the honored master mentioned by the three powerful figures is...?"

Nan Shunqing also grasped the situation, feeling a surge of excitement. Yet he cautiously asked the question.

"Qing brother, have you forgotten the Jade Pendant the master gifted you before he left?"

Wei Qing laughed quietly.

At these words, Nan Shunqing, Nan Zhaorong, and Murong Cheng felt their minds explode.

Stunned into confusion.

The improbable thought in their minds turned true. Especially Nan Zhaorong, unable to hide her disbelief.

"It’s truly the master...!" Nan Shunqing took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and calmed his turbulent heart.

He thought his master was merely slightly stronger than him, never imagining that even the master’s disciples surpassed him greatly.

According to Spiritual Power Universe’s hierarchy, these supporting disciples demonstrated the strongest strength among the Fierce Sun level.

Far stronger than those who barely reached the Fierce Sun level earlier.

Nan Zhaorong felt the most shaken.

She expected her brother to retreat and waste time under an unknown master in this small world.

Considering this small world insignificant compared to the vast Spiritual Power Universe, it seemed like a tiny speck.

There existed a limit; the highest cultivation reached Bright Moon level due to incomplete rules, requiring breaking through the realm for further progress.

Yet, she never imagined her brother, with his illustrious origins, had surprisingly chosen a master of even greater prestige!

Clearly just a Yin Path True Monarch of a small world, a Bright Moon cultivator...

Yet suddenly becoming a top expert even Fierce Sun cultivators had to avoid? This plot twist exceeds any drama.

Murong Cheng was similarly speechless.

Though he never underestimated the depths hid within a small world, this disparity in strength was far too great.

A Fierce Sun cultivator could easily suppress a small world, yet this scene defied logic.

"It appears Qing brother’s return will face unforeseeable disaster. True to his wisdom, the master foresaw this calamity and sent us to assist," Wei Qing sighed.

"With disaster upturning, even we Green Lake Mountain disciples encountered such audacious foes," Zhuang Yu also sighed helplessly.

"No more talking; Qing brother, do we continue our journey? Or..."

"If you ask me, why bother returning to your homeland? Wouldn’t drinking freely with us brothers be better?"

Wei Qing’s bold nature gradually revealed from his travels.

Nan Shunqing smiled bitterly.

"Gentlemen brothers, while I thank you for your kindness, Shunqing Family faces imminent calamity, and avoiding return may endanger family members..."

Remembering his bonds with close family, he felt determined to return for rescue.

"No matter the challenges faced, a true man knows what to do," He declared resolutely.

"Even risking death upon return, Qing won’t hesitate!"

"What loyalty!" Wei Qing was moved and stepped forward to pat his shoulder.

Although they called him Brother Nan Shunqing in name, seeing that his cultivation was weak, they only treated him normally because of the Honored Master’s instructions. But deep down, they didn’t really regard him highly.

Upon hearing Nan Shunqing’s words, the three were slightly moved.

Anyone who can put life and death aside for others is a hero, even if not recognized as one.

It wasn’t until now that the three truly accepted Nan Shunqing, acknowledging him as one of the Honored Master’s disciples.

"Keep the Jade Pendant safe, we will protect you all the way home!" Prague, who had been silent, stood up at this moment and decisively said.

"Thank you all!" Nan Shunqing stepped back and bowed deeply to the three.

"Brother, you shouldn’t!"

The three rushed forward to help him up.

Nan Zhaorong and Murong Cheng were watching from behind with changing expressions.

From despair to joy, the change was too abrupt for them to fully comprehend. Moreover, the master they had worshiped in a small world turned out to be a top-tier hidden powerhouse.

The disparity was too great, leaving them unsure how to face the three.

But seeing Nan Shunqing close and supported by the three, a heavy stone in their hearts gradually settled.

Because they knew, with these three strong protectors, this journey would be worry-free.

Even when returning to the family, at least, Nan Shunqing, who was rootless, now has a firm foothold.

********************

The Pine Forest Sword Sect.

Lin Xin held a fishing rod quietly sitting by the Wan River, the fishing line dipped into the water, occasionally creating ripples.

Surrounding mountains rose and fell, the calls of monkeys and birds, red, blue, white wildflowers, swaying across the mountains.

A gray-robed Taoist flew down from afar, silent, without Escape Light, without sound, like an ordinary person.

The Taoist, with a gaunt face, walked reverently to a position not far behind Lin Xin.

"Honored Master, Brother Qing has already connected with the three brothers, it seems this journey is worry-free."

Lin Xin remained unmoved, as if he hadn’t heard.

"Additionally, the entrance to the Nether Realm has opened, many junior disciples are arranging for the Pine Forest Sword Sect personnel to enter the Nether City one by one."

The gaunt Taoist continued to report.

Swoosh!

In the distance, a transparent Sword Light descended from the sky, landing beside the Taoist, revealing Dugu Lin’s elegant form.

"People from Tianyun Dao have arrived; it seems they are here to question us about activating the ancient transmission array."

Lin Xin gazed at the distant mountains, only then slowly laying down the fishing rod with a sigh.

"Within five days, handle everything, you can arrange the mundane matters yourselves.

Concerning Tianyun Dao and the like."

He paused.

"Yan’er."

"Disciple present."

Wang Kongyan, dressed in a white gown, carrying three swords, slowly walked out from a short distance away. No one noticed where she had been hiding.

"You go handle the forces of Tianyun Dao and others."

Lin Xin said casually.

"Disciple obeys." Wang Kongyan replied respectfully.

To her, dealing with sects whose strongest members were mere Human Immortals was simply a waste of her Sixth Rank talents.

She alone was enough to suppress any resistance.

Dugu Lin looked suspiciously at Wang Kongyan, clearly doubting her capability.

But no one present explained anything to her.

This sort of matter is better proven with facts.

"Furthermore, all collected relic records and information have been consolidated in the Archive Hall." The gaunt Taoist continued.

"Have you found the child of the Underworld Mansion?"

Lin Xin turned around, slowly reeling in the fishing line, revealing a small golden-green turtle, its four legs still struggling and wriggling.

"We found them, but just as we prepared to question them, they instantly exploded and died. So until now, no live captives have been left...." The gaunt Taoist said helplessly.

"Exploded and died...."

Lin Xin became pensive.

It seems the karma of Redleaf can’t be resolved shortly.

The Underworld isn’t simple, and neither is the Nether Mansion. This matter must be resolved after the dispute on Jiu Se’s side, then slowly handled.

"Well, wait for news from Qing’er, then we’ll act."

"Yes!"

Lin Xin sighed slightly.

A new universe, if not necessary, he didn’t want to take this step prematurely, but Jiu Se was pressing aggressively, and until now he was helpless and without recourse.

He has no choice but to resort to this strategy.
