Chapter 377 Temporarily Staying in Yandu
Those who break through to the Demon Lord level will be rejected and die when they are reborn in the Yuanming Realm.
If one does not break through to the Demon Lord level, one will perish along with the dilapidated Yuanming Realm.
Since he was going to die anyway, Xue Lan might as well be stubborn and try to find a compromise.
Zhu Qing seemed to have seen through Xue Lan's thoughts. A soft green light appeared in the woman's hand and was placed directly on Xue Lan's chest.
The destructive aura left in Xue Lan's body was slowly merged by the gentle green light of the evening breeze, until only a tiny remnant remained.
After Zhu Qing raised his hand in the ritual, a wisp of light gray aura of destruction coiled around the person, looking like a twisted little snake.
Seeing that the woman in front of him was about to annihilate this wisp of energy, Xue Lan quickly waved his hand to stop her:
"Senior, why don't you give me this wisp of energy? Xue Lan might find it useful."
As she spoke, the woman took out a delicate little porcelain bottle from her sleeve.
Zhu Qing smiled at Xue Lan, and with a flick of his finger, the wisp of energy was transferred into the porcelain bottle in the woman's hand.
Xue Lan smiled with satisfaction: "Thank you, senior."
Zhu Qing looked at the beaming Xue Lan and then asked:
"I've agreed to your and Kui Shengge's plan. When do you plan to make your move? And what's next?"
Xue Lan chuckled:
"Senior, you may not know this, but I have many troublesome matters to deal with at the moment. In the meantime, I will have to trouble you to stay here and guard the place."
Zhu Qing sighed:
"They've been guarding it for over ten thousand years; it's just a few decades longer."
"Actually, Xue Lan has another request." Xue Lan stepped forward slightly and whispered a few words in Zhu Qing's ear.
Zhu Qing nodded slightly, and then a supple willow branch appeared in her hand.
"Since you are a spirit of plants and trees, and such a resilient woman, I will give you a willow branch. Give it to her when you meet her."
"Things that are damaged in their origin can all be resolved."
Xue Lan then took out a long box from her sleeve and carefully put the items inside.
"Thank you very much, senior."
……
Xue Tong waited for Xue Lan outside Qingliu Pavilion for quite a while, and was about to become impatient when she saw the woman dressed in black robes slowly walk out of Qingliu Pavilion.
Before Xue Lan could even stand up straight, she saw Xue Tong rushing over.
The young girl looked Xue Lan up and down carefully, like a tailor making a custom fit, before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
"I thought you were inside..."
Xue Lan gently placed her index finger to her lips: "Be careful what you say."
So Xue Tong's complaints changed from being open and aboveboard to being transmitted telepathically.
"I thought you had been killed by the Demon Lord of Green Willow!"
Xue Lan's voice sounded somewhat helpless:
"The Demon Lord of Green Willow is a good person, a good person who transcends both the upper and lower realms."
Then she heard Xue Tong's hurried voice:
"I know she's a good person, but you're the kind of person who easily offends people."
This wasn't a telepathic message; everyone around heard it.
Including the flower and tree makers.
Xue Lan: So what?
"Alright, stop arguing!"
Wu Yijun was the first to notice that something was wrong with Xue Lan. The woman raised her hand, grabbed Xue Lan's wrist, and probed for her pulse.
A few breaths later, the woman's eyes revealed undisguised joy:
"Did that senior help you?"
Xue Lan nodded slightly.
Wu Yijun smiled broadly: "I knew that Senior Tongtian Qingliu in Yandu was the all-powerful master of all plants and trees."
"Where do we go next?" Lin Su suddenly asked.
Yan Chengxue looked at Xue Lan: "I'm going back to Fuyang City. I need to put their formation back in as soon as possible."
"Xue Lan, I'm also going back to the War Puppet Mansion. I've gained a lot from the battle with Lin Shuang, and I'm going back to cultivate in seclusion."
Xue Lan expressed her understanding of the two people's reasons.
The woman's ashen eyes swept over Lin Su:
"What about you?"
Lin Su spoke frankly:
“I’m just an idle person in the War Puppet Mansion. I’d rather stay with you than go back. I can learn some things that my master doesn’t teach.”
Xue Lan nodded slowly:
"So Junjun and Yan Chengxue left, and everyone else stayed, right?"
Xue Tong slowly raised her hand and pointed to Lu Feng in the corner.
Xue Tong was certain that Xue Lan had forgotten that Lu Feng was among these people.
The girl turned to look at Lu Feng, while the young man had a blade of grass in his mouth, seemingly having completely adapted to Xue Lan's arbitrariness and dictatorship.
If Lu Feng knew what Xue Tong was thinking, he would definitely make the girl think carefully about what she and Xue Lan had done.
After what happened, what fool would dare to disobey Xue Lan!
Xue Lan quickly learned where everyone had gone, and then let Wu Yijun and Yan Chengxue leave.
Just before leaving, Yan Chengxue finally remembered to give the storage bag on Lin Shuang's body to Xue Lan.
Xue Lan found a token belonging to the Nine-Tailed Fox in her storage bag, a murderous glint flashing in her eyes.
"The beast race of the upper realm."
Unexpectedly, some members of the demon race from the upper realm are interfering in matters of the lower realm.
The woman put the token into her sleeve.
The inner demon within my sea of consciousness became somewhat agitated:
"That's the token of the nine-tailed fox demon, Xue Lan. If you give me this, I can briefly possess your life."
Xue Lan smiled gently and tossed the token into her sleeve.
"do not want!"
"My life still has its uses, so you should stay in the sea of consciousness for now."
Xue Tong noticed that Xue Lan's expression was a little off, so the girl patted Xue Lan on the shoulder from behind:
Is she yelling at you again?
Xue Lan smiled and shook her head: "No, just a few words."
"That shouldn't be!" Xue Tong looked puzzled, and the girl reached out to pinch Xue Lan's cheek.
"Why are you being so honest today? Shouldn't you have framed someone regardless of whether you scolded them or not?"
Xue Lan's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief:
"So you always knew?"
Xue Tong nodded.
The inner demon's eerie voice entered Xue Lan's mind:
"Do you live up to the image you project in front of children, of a pure and gentle spirit?"
Xue Lan: "That's a rumor!"
Inner Demon: "What rumors?"
"The bright moon and gentle breeze are spreading rumors! I just want to bully you."
The inner demons fell silent.
She fell silent, but Xue Lan continued speaking:
"I'm in a good mood today, so I won't let Xue Tong scold you!"
The inner demon gripped the teacup tightly: Thank you so much.
Xue Lan and the other three stood at the foot of the Tongtian Green Willow for a while, watching the sky behind Yandu City gradually brighten.
Lu Feng, with a peony flower in his hair, finally spoke:
Are we going back to the inn now?
Xue Lan raised her hand to Lin Su: "Do you have money?"
The tall, burly young man was stunned for a moment, then quickly took out a storage bag from his sleeve.
"Yes, yes, Senior Sister Xue, here are 20,000 high-grade spirit stones."
Xue Lan's eyes widened: "I never expected that you would be the richest among the six of us!"
Lin Su scratched his head sheepishly: "I'm different from Senior Brother Yan and Junior Sister Wu. I don't like to delve into things, so the materials provided by the sect don't suffer much damage."
Xue Lan finally understood what he meant by "not liking to delve into things and not wasting resources." This person clearly never made a mistake when it came to forging weapons!
Such a genius... but his aesthetic sense is really hard to compliment.
Consider it a loan from your senior sister.
Xue Lan rummaged through her storage bag, picking out some high-quality spirit stones, and then grabbed two handfuls to give to Xue Tong and Lu Feng.
"Alright, now that we have spirit stones, let's go have some fun."
Xue Tong: ?
Lu Feng: Is there really such a good thing?
