When Chen Li and Xiao Shijian returned to camp, Xue Lan immediately spoke to him. "Mei'er and I have to return to our sect, so we will bring Liuli and the others back with us, and they can rest better there. As for your previous request, I have communicated this matter to my mother, and she has agreed to it, so she will choose the best people before sending them here."
"Thank you for your help." Chen Li then observed the female disciples before agreeing to Xue Lan's wishes, especially since they only needed a lot of rest to recover their condition. "You can bring them back, and I will contact you again regarding my other plans."
"Yes, father, I will wait for your news." Afterward, Xue Lan and Xue Mei immediately took the female core disciples of their sects away.
Chen Li then turned to the three senior women from the Xuanyuan Clan. "You guys can bring Xuanyuan Lingyan back to your clan, especially since Grandpa Xiong will still be staying here to help me."
"Thank you for saving Lingyan, or our clan would have suffered if she died." Xuanyuan Ling then asked her granddaughter, Xuanyuan Ning, to bring her daughter. "We will leave now, but we will send some people from our clan to help you clean up these ruins."
After they left, Zi Gang also decided to return to the Purple Moon Sect, and he promised to send some people, especially since those ruins were quite large.
Chen Li then turned to his friends and family members. "Why are you all gloomy? The previous incident was indeed regrettable, but you guys don't need to regret it, especially since our enemy was on another level. Even Xiao Hei and the others didn't notice their presence, let alone you guys, so you all don't need to think about it anymore and focus on your training."
Although Chen Li had said that, Yang Hao and the others still wore gloomy expressions. Even so, the previous incident made them aware of their weaknesses and negligence, and they were determined to become better.
"Anyway, Xian'er and I will be going to the Azure Mystic Realm in a few days." After hearing that, they immediately looked at Chen Li, and he could clearly see that they were eager to go to that realm, but he had no intention of bringing them there yet. "I understand your desire to accompany us, but for now, only the two of us will venture there. During our absence, I urge all of you to intensify your training in your respective sects. Besides, I've asked Shijian to provide harder training for all of you, and I also want you guys to take on the missions available in the sect more often to increase your experience, especially in life-and-death situations. Once I feel that any of you are ready to go to that realm, I will ask her to send those of you who are fully prepared there."
Seeing the seriousness of Chen Li's expression, they all realized that she would never change her mind, so they helplessly agreed with her.
Chen Li then spoke to Shou Xiang. "You are quite experienced, but I want you to stay with Yudie in Huxin Xiaozhu to adapt to the gravity formation first, and Shijian will send you to that realm after you have perfectly adapted to it."
Chen Li then turned to Di Jing, who seemed to have a lot on her mind, so he asked her directly. "Is something bothering you?"
"I-" However, Di Jing found it difficult to convey her thoughts to Chen Li and lowered her face, especially since it was too embarrassing for her.
Seeing her little sister like that, Di Chen sent a voice transmission to Chen Li. 'Shou Huang keeps approaching her, and she feels annoyed by his actions. That's why I think it would be better if you gave her your yang qi, so that man will stop approaching her if he feels your yang qi in her body. Moreover, it will also help Jing'er in her cultivation, so I hope you don't mind it.'
Naturally, Chen Li would not object to that, especially since the Di Sisters were like his family, and Di Chen had also agreed to be his wife, even though they had not done the deed yet. He then gave them several bottles of his yang qi, which was enough for their supply.
However, Chen Li did not give the Celestial Yin Technique to Di Jing because she never had feelings for him, and the side effects of the technique would bind her to him. Instead, he gave her the same dual cultivation technique that he gave to Guo Qing and his family members, so she could use it to absorb his yang qi.
"Thank you." Di Jing spoke in a mosquito-like voice, her face turning red at the thought of swallowing Chen Li's Yang Qi.
"It's okay; you don't have to think about it." Chen Li then instructed Shou Xiang. "Contact your clan members and ask them to order Shou Huang to return to your clan, particularly since his presence makes Di Jing uncomfortable. If he still insists on staying in the sect, then I will go there to kill him directly."
Shou Xiang let out a helpless sigh as she nodded to him, especially since their leader had already reminded Shou Huang not to approach Di Jing. Unfortunately, he was too stubborn and ignored their words, so she immediately contacted his father to convey Chen Li's orders. "I have asked my father to convey this matter to our leader."
"Okay." Chen Li nodded to Shou Xiang before looking at them one by one. "Are you guys ready to continue your training now?"
"Yes!" All of them answered Chen Li in unison, especially since the previous incident still made them upset, and they immediately rushed to start their training under the guidance of Sun Xing'er and the spirit women, including Shou Xiang and the Huo Sisters.
Chen Li himself did not want to spend his time relaxing anymore, so he immediately rushed to another area filled with beasts in the Earth Realm and fought them without using his dragon techniques. Aside from that, he also found some beasts in the Heaven Realm, but he did not intend to disturb them.
In Huxin Xiaozhu, Qin Li looked sulky, especially since the real Chen Li still had not returned, and his clone also disappeared because he brought Gu Jiao into the Tianyi Realm and harvested her Yin Qi.
Diao Hudie, who was cultivating in the residence, shook her head, seeing Qin Li. "If you miss Long Wang so much, it would be better if you followed him to the Illusory Forest, and you could train with him there."
"No." Qin Li answered with a shake of her head. "Long Wang is with his wives and families, and I am just his dual cultivation partner, so I don't want to bother them, especially since they rarely get together due to his busy schedule. Anyway, when will Sect Master Yueyan release my parents?"
"Do you want your parents to return to that heretic sect again?" Diao Hudie turned to ask with a raised eyebrow. "Yueyan was reluctant to release them due to their affiliation with those heretics. Furthermore, you are aware that Long Wang is specifically targeting that sect and has the potential to destroy them in the near future, so it would be better for your parents to stay here for the time being, or they will die together with them."
Qin Li let out a heavy sigh after Diao Hudie brought up her parents's relationship with those heretics. Although she hated them for forcing their will on her, they were still her parents, and she did not want them to die at the hands of her partner, which would leave a deep sadness in her heart.
Suddenly, two women entered the residence: none other than Leng Yueyan and Yan Qingcheng. Diao Hudie then asked them. "Did you two come here looking for Long Wang?"
"Well, we are indeed looking for Long Wang." Yan Qingcheng then pointed at the talisman to activate the gravity formation. "Could you activate it for us? Since he's not here and we have nothing else to do, we want to practice using it."
"What about Li Jingyun? Did he show any unusual behavior? Have you found a replacement for him?" Diao Hudie asked Leng Yueyan instead.
"Not yet." Leng Yueyan responded with a shake of her head. "At the moment, no male elder qualifies for the promotion to become our sect's male sect master, so I've chosen to keep the position vacant. As for Li Jingyun, he repeatedly met Hua Gaoyun at the inn, and they seemed to be waiting for Gu Ya, who was still on his way to this region."
"Gu Ya, huh?" Diao Hudie muttered softly as she nodded. "I don't think we need to think about that person, especially since Long Wang and my master have been keeping a close eye on his movements, and I'm sure he'll die the moment he sets foot in this region."
Following that, Diao Hudie immediately activated the gravity formation, causing her and the other three women to fall directly to the ground, and they began their training to adapt to it. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝~𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖~𝕟𝕖𝕥
