"mother!"
Duan Siling, who is practicing, can clearly sense what is happening outside because he is not in retreat.
A familiar voice came from outside, calling her name, which made her wake up from her practice for the first time, and she could confirm that the owner of the voice was her mother who had been away for several years.
boom!
There was a soft sound, but it was Duan Siling who raised his hand to open the door, followed by a slim figure flying out, appearing in the valley in the blink of an eye.
"Dad! Mom!"
After coming out, with just one glance, Duan Siling saw the father and mother he had longed for. He couldn't help but fly forward, his eyes filled with tears of excitement.
It was as if the longing that had been accumulated for several years completely exploded at this moment.
"Si Ling!"
Ke'er flew towards Duan Siling, and when Duan Siling was halfway through the flight, he hugged her tightly, as if he never wanted to let go...
"Si Ling..."
Looking at the slim girl hugging Ke'er, the calmness on Duan Lingtian's face was completely broken. A gentle look appeared in his eyes, and a warm smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
A few years have passed, and my daughter has grown so big...
Duan Siling is now sixteen years old. She has inherited his and Ke'er's beautiful face, but only a little childishness remains.
If you ever get rid of your childishness, you will truly become an adult.
Feng Tianwu stood beside Duan Lingtian, looking at Duan Siling hugging Ke'er, she couldn't help but have a flash of envy in her eyes...
if it is possible.
She also hopes that she and her eldest brother Duan can have a child that belongs to them.
Han Xuenai, Chen Yiru and others who came out from behind stood behind Duan Lingtian and looked quietly at the mother and daughter embracing each other. No one made a sound, as if they were afraid of disturbing the mother and daughter.
call! call!
At some unknown time, Old Man Tianji and the former Green Fire Protector of the Zoroastrian Sect also appeared outside the two wooden houses. They were also sincerely happy to see Duan Lingtian and others returning safely.
However, when they noticed the atmosphere at the scene and saw the mother and daughter hugging each other, no matter how much they wanted to say, they were not in a hurry to speak.
Time seems to be frozen at this moment.
After about ten breaths, Ke'er and Duan Siling, mother and daughter, also noticed the tranquility of the atmosphere at the scene, and at the same time they also noticed the eyes falling on them.
Suddenly, the pretty faces of mother and daughter could not help but blush slightly, and then Ke'er took Duan Siling's hand and returned to Duan Lingtian.
"Daddy."
Duan Siling looked at Duan Lingtian who had not changed at all. A smile of extreme joy appeared on his beautiful and childish face.
She both admired and respected the father in front of her.
"I haven't seen you in a few years, and you've grown so big... She's almost as tall as your mother."
Duan Lingtian reached out and touched Duan Siling's head and said with doting eyes.
Now Duan Siling is tall and slim, and his height is only half a head short of her mother Ke'er's height. I am afraid it will only take a year or two at most to catch up with her mother's height.
"Si Ling."
Feng Tianwu beside Duan Lingtian looked at Duan Siling with a doting smile on his face, "Do you still remember me?"
"Aunt Tianwu!"
Duan Siling took a few steps forward and came to Feng Tianwu's side. He naturally took Feng Tianwu's hand and said with a smile: "How could I forget Aunt Tianwu... Aunt Tianwu, you should just follow me." She is still as young and beautiful as she was a few years ago, and has not changed at all.”
Before Feng Tianwu entered the secret realm of outer space, although she didn't spend much time with Duan Siling, she loved Duan Siling very much, which made Duan Siling very fond of her.
"Si Ling's mouth is so sweet."
Hearing Duan Siling's words, Feng Tianwu's face suddenly burst into laughter, and her eyes were full of doting.
"Si Ling, what about me? Where about me? Do you still remember me?"
At this time, Han Xuenai also came to join in the fun.
Here, after Duan Siling and Han Xuenai said hello, they went to Gan Ruyan's side and held Gan Ruyan's hand...
On the other side, Duan Lingtian was already gathered with Old Man Tianji and Protector Qinghuo.
"How was your harvest from this trip to the 'Sword Master's Secret Realm'?"
Old Man Tianji looked at Duan Lingtian expectantly and asked.
"Uncle Tianji...actually there is no 'Secret Realm of the Sword Master' at all."
Duan Lingtian seemed to have known that Old Man Tianji would ask this question, so when Old Man Tianji just finished speaking, he couldn't help but say this.
"There is no 'Secret Realm of the Sword Master'? What... do you mean?"
After hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Old Man Tianji couldn't help but feel confused.
"The so-called 'Secret Realm of the Sword Master' that we entered is actually not the Secret Realm of the Sword Master, but the 'Secret Realm of the Outer World'..."
Duan Lingtian, who was well prepared, told Old Man Tianji exactly what he saw and heard in the 'Secret Realm of Outer Heaven' when Old Man Tianji raised his doubts, letting Old Man Tianji know that the space behind his black hole was not The secret realm of the Sword Saint is not the secret realm of the outer world.
Of course, during this process, Duan Lingtian did not forget to mention that the senior Feng Qingyang received the inheritance of Daluo Jinxian when the last time the secret realm of heaven and earth was opened.
"The secret realm outside the sky?"
"Connecting five secular planes? Our sacred plane is just a small secular plane... and the other five secular planes are all large secular planes?"
"In large secular planes, powerful people are like clouds... Beings like the Nine Tribulations Loose Immortals do not appear in every era in our sacred plane, but in those large secular planes, they appear in almost every era? And there are more than one or two?”
"Senior Feng Qingyang... it is precisely because he received the inheritance of the Great Luo Jinxian who was born when the secret realm of heaven and earth was opened last time that he has the strength to kill the Eight Tribulations Loose Immortals and rival the Nine Tribulations Loose Immortals with a half-step immortal cultivation level? "
…
Duan Lingtian's words not only shocked Old Man Tianji, but also the Qinghuo Dharma Protector.
Immediately afterwards, Duan Lingtian told the two old men some other things in the secret realm outside the world.
"There are so many powerful people in the secular plane...?"
"A top sect has strong men at the level of 'Nine Tribulations Loose Immortals'?"
…
Old Man Tianji and Protector Qinghuo became more and more frightened as they listened. At the same time, they also realized that they were just like frogs at the bottom of a well.
"Uncle Tianji...Now that the demon tribe has invaded the upper domain, what is the situation in the upper domain?"
Several years have passed since the demons invaded the 'Upper Domain'. Duan Lingtian, who quickly rushed back to the Holy Domain for this matter, is also eager to understand the current situation in the Upper Domain. After all, 'know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles'.
"About a year ago, I had lost the news from the outside... At that time, the connection between the Hongchen intelligence network and me was strangely interrupted."
Faced with Duan Lingtian's inquiry, Old Man Tianji sighed, and then said with a wry smile: "Now, I suspect that the intelligence network of the Hongchen lineage has either been controlled by others, or has been uprooted... Otherwise, it is impossible for them to have no information at all. pass it to me."
The intelligence network of the Hongchen lineage has been temporarily in the hands of Old Man Tianji since the death of Han Xuenai's master.
Old Man Tianji originally planned to completely hand over the Hongchen lineage's intelligence network to Han Xuenai's hands after Han Xuenai, the descendant of the Hongchen lineage of the Qijue Sect, came out of the Sword Saint Secret Realm.
But I didn’t expect:
A year ago, Hongchen's intelligence network completely disappeared.
"You have no idea what's going on?"
Duan Lingtian frowned.
Old Man Tianji shook his head, "I also wanted to go out to investigate... But I found that since the demons invaded the upper domain, the originally peaceful Northern Territory has also had many more demons. With my cultivation, let alone the Northern Territory , even this corner of the Northern Territory is difficult to move."
After saying these words, Old Man Tianji's tone also revealed bursts of helplessness.
As a human whose cultivation level has not even reached the 'Fourth Transformation of the Holy Immortal', he can hardly move in the Daowu Holy Land where demons gather now, and he may be exposed at any time and in danger of being killed by the demons. .
"I was originally worried... that after the Hongchen lineage's intelligence network collapsed, my affairs in this place might be exposed in more than a year at most, thereby attracting humans or demons here."
Old Man Tianji continued: "Now, I feel relieved to see that you all came out safely."
"Furthermore, since there is that 'Secret Realm of Outer Heaven' behind this black hole, it doesn't matter even if it is exposed... Moreover, according to you, the sect leader, the inheritance of Daluo Jinxian born from the opening of the Secret Realm of Outer Heaven this time has been obtained by others. Therefore, we don’t have to worry at all, there will be demons entering the secret realm outside the sky and receiving the inheritance of Da Luo Jinxian.”
Old Man Tianji said.
"In more than a year at most, what happened to you in this place, Uncle Tianji, will be exposed?"
Duan Lingtian frowned, "How do you say this?"
It seemed that Duan Lingtian would ask this question, so when Duan Lingtian finished speaking, Old Man Tianji had already said: "The intelligence network of our Qijue Sect's Hongchen lineage is very complex and interlocking..."
"However, because I directly received the 'news' from the Hongchen intelligence network in this place before, I also left some clues in the Hongchen intelligence network."
"If someone really controls the Hongchen lineage's intelligence network and is willing to pursue it... it will take more than a year at most, and my affairs in this place will be exposed."
Old Man Tianji's words also answered Duan Lingtian's questions.
"So that's it."
Duan Lingtian suddenly realized.
"It seems...if I want to know the current situation of the Dao Martial Holy Land 'Upper Domain', I can only find out by myself."
Duan Lingtian said secretly.
