Chapter 222: Chapter 124: The Canary Must Look Much Better Than My Ugly Appearance_2

Wang Gai was among the crowd, his heart filled with terror.

Yang Hun, the Supreme Venerable, had a smile plastered on his face as he brownnosed Qi Yuan, "Compared to the Main Chief’s execution of twenty-seven Venerables with one sword, our fights seem as ridiculous as children brawling."

Qi Yuan accepted the flattery, his gaze finally landed on the lone figure of Ningtuo, a playful smile spread across his face, "Aren’t you leaving?"

Ningtuo tightly clutched the chain, her eyes still filled with terror looking at the blood-red figure, "How dare I leave if you don’t speak up?"

"If you had left just now, I probably wouldn’t have been able to stop you," Qi Yuan said calmly.

Ningtuo’s capabilities were slightly superior to Purple Dark Man’s.

Of course, if Qi Yuan had really wanted to stop her, he could.

But he didn’t see the need to pay such a high price.

His feelings towards Ningtuo, this NPC, were quite complicated.

Ningtuo looked at Qi Yuan, her hand still tightly holding the chain, her expression somewhat unnatural, suppressing something - it could be fear, it could be something else.

"Charging into battle and slaying these Grand Venerables, you have saved my life, I have no way to repay..."

Qi Yuan cut off Ningtuo, he asked slowly, "Do you know the Blood Palace?"

Ningtuo shook her head in confusion.

"Do you know the Main Chief?"

Ningtuo shook her head again.

"Do you know the Canary? She’s a very proud and vain girl. I have been looking for her." When Qi Yuan looked at Ningtuo, a hint of warmth flashed in his blood-red eyes.

[Ningtuo, Level 197, Palace Master of Sky Heart Palace, one of the thirteen cursed Northern Demons.]

Ningtuo shook her head, "I’m not aware. She... must be someone important to you, right?"

"Yes, I have been looking for her." Qi Yuan said, "I just saved your life incidentally, you don’t have to repay me. If you meet her in the future, tell her, I am waiting for her in Unreturned City."

Qi Yuan’s gaze was deep.

Ningtuo looked at Qi Yuan and replied, "I would certainly help you in this search without compensation for such a great favor!"

After a long pause, she suddenly asked, "Have we met somewhere before? Why do I feel a sense of familiarity?"

"Perhaps we met in a dream." Qi Yuan laughed heartily.

After his laughter, he scanned all the Venerables present.

"About today’s matters, make the Heart Demon’s vow, do not leak out, understand?"

The rest of the Venerables did not hesitate to make the Heart Demon’s vow upon hearing his words.

Ningtuo did the same.

"The Heart Demon’s vow has been made, you can leave." Qi Yuan generously said to Ningtuo.

Originally, recalling the "humiliation" he suffered in the underground palace, he was nearly forced to call out "mommy".

He had planned to push Ningtuo, this Grand Venerable, to call him "daddy" before letting her go.

But in the end, he thought actually playing such a role was too deviant and it didn’t suit his cold-blooded, lordly image as the Main Chief.

Ningtuo looked at Qi Yuan, tightly holding the chain, her figure then disappeared like a stream of light.

After a long time, Ningtuo landed in a desert. Looking at the flesh and blood within the chain, she murmured to herself, "Husband, Canary must be a very cute girl."

With that, she covered her left face.

"She must be much prettier than my ugly face."

She took a deep look behind her, her gaze no longer lingering before transforming into a stream of light and disappearing.

...

Three years later.

In Great Compassion City, Yun He finally arrived.

Blood stains sullied his robe, which was adorned with white cranes. His aura was unstable.

Over the years, he had been rushing towards Unreturned City.

On the way, he encountered the Venerable’s first general, the Demon Crocodile.

The two clashed as soon as they met.

A fierce battle ensued, lasting for years without a clear victor. Both suffered injuries and retreated later.

At this time, Yun He’s face was pale as paper, and his aura was somewhat unstable.

Sitting in the palace, a confused look crossed his face.

"Where is my junior sister?" he asked.

At this moment, a Venerable from Great Compassion City stepped forward, his face filled with reverence.

"Respected Yun He, your junior sister, Huang Mengling, left the Great Compassion City five years ago due to urgent matters." The strength of the Venerable was quite modest, just at the beginning of the Venerable Realm.

"Where is the city’s guardian?" Yun He asked again.

"The guardian had to go to Unreturned City because of a problem." The Venerable respectfully replied.

A complicated look flashed through Yun He’s eyes, he continued, "What is the situation in Unreturned City now?"

The Venerable hesitated, then said, "I have been in seclusion and am not aware of the situation in Unreturned City. It should be the same as it was a few years ago, with several Venerables."

Upon hearing this, Yun He’s expression did not change, finally he said slowly, "You can leave."

The Venerable bowed his head and left the palace.

In the empty palace, only Yun He was left.

A hint of worry flashed through his eyes, "Something... is strange."

"If I remember correctly, the guardian of Great Compassion City is Venerable Miluo. His father is the Great Venerable Mikong!"

After arriving at Great Compassion City, he gradually felt that something was amiss.

He vaguely sensed that within the city, several formidable presences were hidden.

All of them were indeed Great Venerables!

These Great Venerables were lurking in Great Compassion City but did not come to meet him.

This was very suspicious.

"Could it be... the news about Unreturned City... it was all fabricated, is this a trap for me?" Yun He’s face darkened.

If this was true, it implied that the Great Venerable Mikong had most likely betrayed the Southern Continent and joined the ranks of the Northern Continent.

The situation in the Southern Continent would become even more dire.
