Chapter 112 Xue Lan Escapes the Xuanhuang Cave Heaven
Upon learning that her body was in the lower realm, Xue Lan repeatedly brought forward her plan to escape the Xuanhuang Cave Heaven.
Specifically, Lin Su stopped eating breakfast at Jiyuan Peak, because Xue Lan also stopped eating. Senior Sister Xue stayed in the weapon-refining cave day and night, refining the puppet arm. She finished making all the necessary parts for the puppet arm in just three days.
The hammer was swung so hard it started smoking, and the smelting table began to weep.
This made Lin Su understand what the speed a weapon repairer should have meant.
Moreover, after working with Xue Lan for a long time, Lin Su discovered that this person had an incredibly low failure rate when making things according to the blueprints. All the parts were completed in one go without any accidents.
While refining the two small wings on her shoulders, Xue Lan's expression was off, her brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a mosquito.
After finally finishing crafting all the components, Xue Lan casually tossed them to Lin Su for coloring, then plunged into the bamboo grove courtyard to ponder how to escape the Xuanhuang Cave Heaven.
Inside the bamboo grove courtyard, the vast bamboo forest outside was beginning to turn yellow, taking on an autumnal hue. Xue Lan sat at the stone table in the courtyard, holding a teacup in her hand.
The teacup had a small chip on the rim; it was from when Xue Lan was teasing Lian Chuan and the child had slashed it with a sword.
Xue Lan didn't even dare to drink water from this side, for fear of cutting her mouth.
Xue Tong sat down next to her and, after listening to Xue Lan's words, began to share her own insights.
In other words, you are now certain that someone will use your body to do bad things.
Xue Lan nodded in affirmation. The girl drank the tea in one gulp, her eyes deep, like the large bamboo shadows cast by the bamboo forest.
The fragmented and scattered nature of the information makes it difficult to understand at first glance.
Xue Tong then asked: "[The demons used your body to tear open a spacetime rift. Do you know where they went first?]"
Xue Lan caressed the cup in her hand as if she were playing with a magnificent magical artifact.
After a long silence, the girl's lips curled up slightly, and her voice was low and husky: "Jiang Yun."
Xue Tong couldn't hear clearly, so she mustered her courage and asked again: "What?"
Xue Lan placed the cup on the table: "The demon race takes pleasure in tormenting humans. Jiangyun Valley, where the Jiangyun Sect is located, is a perfect place. It can launch a surprise attack on the Luoxia Mountain garrison in the front and slaughter the Fuyang City in the back.
Xue Lan flicked the edge of the teacup with her fingertip, and the teacup spun a few times before finally half of it was suspended in mid-air on the table.
The girl's voice contained a hint of murderous intent that no one else could detect.
"Since you've dared to come, then stay."
Jiangyun Sect, Jiangyun Valley.
The enormous airship landed on the central plaza of the sect. Min Chang, who had been waiting there, stood up and watched the girl disembark from the airship.
The flying boat of Jiangyun Sect went to Fuyang City first, and Gu Yuan went to Fuyang City to meet them. Now she is leading a little girl in white down from the flying boat.
Upon seeing Min Shang below, the girl in the pale yellow dress bowed to her and said, "Gu Yuan greets Senior Sister."
The little girl behind her followed Gu Yuan's example and bowed to Min Shang, then cautiously looked up and curiously examined the woman opposite her.
The woman was dressed in an elegant blue dress, the tassels on her hair swaying gently in the breeze, and her gentle eyes made her feel a sense of warmth.
The woman bent down to look at He Xusheng, her voice as gentle as a breeze: "I am Min Chang, a Golden Core cultivator from the Jiangyun Sect, and also your master."
He Xusheng immediately realized what was happening, and the little girl stepped out from behind Gu Yuan and bowed to Min Shang again.
"Xu Sheng greets Master."
Back when she was in the Xuanhuang Sect, the sect leader of the Jiangyun Sect had told He Xusheng that she had a master in the Jiangyun Sect.
She had imagined him to be at least a dignified middle-aged Dao Lord, but he turned out to be so young and gentle.
Min Chang looked at the little girl in front of her and spoke again: "Although it was arranged in advance by the sect, I still need to ask you your own thoughts. Are you willing to join my sect and inherit my teachings?"
As Min Chang questioned He Xusheng, the Sect Master of Jiangyun Sect, Ziyun Daojun, slowly descended from the flying boat, dressed in a magnificent purple Daoist robe. She heard He Xusheng's somewhat childish voice: "Master, please accept my bow."
After speaking, the little girl knelt before Min Shang and performed a deep bow.
Min Shang stepped forward and helped He Xusheng up.
Daoist Ziyun spoke gently, looking at Min Chang and asking, "Are you satisfied?"
Min Chang bowed to Daoist Ziyun and thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Sect Master."
Daoist Ziyun nodded slowly. He Xusheng was the only one with a Heavenly Grade Water Spiritual Root at this Ascension Conference, and Daoist Ziyun had finally managed to snatch him up.
She is the best inheritor of the Water Lotus.
Daoist Ziyun looked at Min Chang and said in a gentle voice, "Moon Silkworm."
Min Chang smiled and said, "Sect Master, don't worry. All the Moon Silkworms of Jiangyun Sect have been taken away."
Daoist Ziyun nodded slowly. She had always been quite confident in Min Chang's abilities.
A breeze stirred in the valley as the two gazed at the still azure sky above Crimson Cloud Valley.
Everything was calm, but Min Chang seemed to hear shouts of battle coming from Luoxia Mountain.
Daoist Ziyun asked Gu Yuan behind her, "Have the disciples been made up?"
Gu Yuan quickly replied, "All disciples below the Foundation Establishment stage have been sent to Fuyang City and are being looked after by Miss Cui."
The Jiangyun Sect is now an empty city.
Daoist Ziyun instructed, "Activate the sect's protective formation."
[So now, have you figured out a secret way to get to Luoxia Mountain?] Xue Tong followed behind Xue Lan like a little tail.
The little girl kept asking questions, but the girl in front of her didn't answer. Instead, she quickly stuffed all the collections from the room's cabinet into her sleeves.
"You're not planning to come back, are you?"
Xue Lan took everything out of the cabinet before she had a chance to say a word to Xue Tong: "Come back? You're thinking of coming back after this trip? After dealing with the demonic tide at Luoxia Mountain, I plan to go straight to the mortal realm."
I'll wander around the human world for a decade or so, and then come back once my elders have calmed down.
On the one hand, she sought her own craftsmanship, and on the other hand, she visited her beloved mentor.
"Will you take me with you?" Xue Tong puffed out her chest.
"Bring her in." Xue Lan raised her sleeve, and Xue Tong transformed into a ball of snow-white light and flew inside.
Before Xue Lan could lower her hand, her other sleeve was tugged. She looked down and saw two spiders, who had been driven to the bamboo grove courtyard because of Lin Su, staring at her with wide eyes.
Helpless, Xue Lan raised her other sleeve: "How could I forget you all? Come, come, come."
As night fell, Xue Lan left a blueprint for Lin Su inside the weapon-refining cave, then transformed into a beam of light and flew towards the edge of the Xuanhuang Cave.
Upon reaching the edge of the sect's protective barrier, Xue Lan looked at the light golden barrier in front of her, and the Sun-Tracing Mirror appeared in her hand.
Is this your solution?
Xue Lan smiled slightly, and the intricate patterns on the Sun-Tracing Mirror in her hand began to change, revealing a small hole in the barrier in front of her, just wide enough for one person to pass through.
Xue Lan walked out. She stepped onto a flying boat and flew towards the horizon.
Behind her, the five peaks of Xuanhuang were utterly serene in the night.
At the summit of Suandao Peak, the chubby boy who was reading a book while holding a ball of light suddenly cried out, "Ouch!"
"Xiaoshan, what's wrong?" Master Shensuan asked.
Zeng Xiaoshan said with a bitter face, "I forgot to deliver the medicine to my martial uncle today."
Her little face was all wrinkled up, and she looked incredibly wronged.
Master Shen Suan patted his head: "Your martial aunt is cured. From now on, you don't need to bring her medicine anymore."
Zeng Xiaoshan obediently continued reading, while Shen Suanzhen looked at the horizon, lost in thought.
