"Alright, Master Zhuge, you are straightforward." Ru Yan Gao Xian smiled and said, "I have heard Wuji mention that this time, when we go to propose marriage to the Nangong Sacred Dynasty, you will help me plead on behalf of my grandson. I would like to thank Master Zhuge in advance."
Zhuge Yu smiled and said, "My palace has always had a good relationship with your sect, and I am just doing my part."
Ru Yan Wu Ji sighed and said, "Ancestor, among the five thousand disciples from our sect and the Divine Soul Celestial Palace, only Chen'er survived. The other disciples were killed by the Huangfu Sacred Sect."
"What? This is outrageous!" Ru Yan Gao Xian's murky eyes flared with anger. "Wuji, let us lurk under the watchful eyes of the Huangfu Sacred Sect and see just how powerful those old fossils have become. After that, tell me so I can consider when to strike against the Huangfu Sacred Sect!"
"Understood, Lai Sun!" Ru Yan Wu Ji bowed, his eyes shining with excitement. "With you acting, it's only a matter of time before we destroy the Huangfu Sacred Sect!"
"Mm." Ru Yan Gao Xian nodded and said, "However, we must not be careless. The old fossils hiding in the Huangfu Sacred Sect are no ordinary opponents. Until we have a clear understanding of their strength, we cannot act rashly."
Having said that, Ru Yan Gao Xian looked at Zhuge Yu with a kind smile, "After the marriage between Yuqin and Chen'er is finalized, I will pay a visit to those old fellows in your palace to discuss how to annihilate the Huangfu Sacred Sect together."
"Alright!" Zhuge Yu responded, "Senior, please wait for an hour while I make some arrangements in the palace, as the journey to the Nangong Sacred Dynasty is quite long."
After Zhuge Yu left, Ru Yan Wu Ji ordered the elders of the Eternal Immortal Sect to take Ru Yan Chen back to the Eternal Immortal Sect first.
...
An hour later, after Zhuge Yu had arranged the palace matters, he returned to the VIP Palace with Duan Cangtian.
Ru Yan Gao Xian looked at Zhuge Yu and asked, "Master Zhuge, where is that girl Yuqin? Why not let her accompany us?"
"Senior, you may not know, but Qinger is unwell and has entered seclusion," Zhuge Yu replied.
"Oh, very well!" Ru Yan Gao Xian nodded, "Then let us depart!"
Soon after, Ru Yan Gao Xian, Ru Yan Wu Ji, Zhuge Yu, and Duan Cangtian left the Divine Soul Secret Realm together, maneuvering the Spirit Vessel towards the Heavenly Punishment Mountain Range...
Night fell.
As Nangong Yuqin flew out of the Immortal Mountain Palace on her Flying Sword, she coincidentally encountered Elder Three, who was hovering on the summit.
"Saintess, where are you going?" Elder Three asked respectfully.
Nangong Yuqin replied nonchalantly, "I wish to go to Fang City to purchase some elixirs for my seclusion."
"Oh," Elder Three responded and handed her a Qiankun Ring, reminding her, "Saintess, before leaving, the palace master instructed me to give you this Qiankun Ring, which contains Spirit Stones. You may purchase whatever you want."
After accepting the Qiankun Ring, Nangong Yuqin raised an eyebrow and asked, "Where did my master go?"
"Saintess, the palace master did not mention it before leaving," Elder Three said. "She should have gone to the Eternal Immortal Sect, but she mentioned it may take her over two years to return."
Upon hearing this, a hint of delight flashed in Nangong Yuqin's beautiful eyes under the moonlight. "Okay, I understand. You may leave now."
"Yes, I take my leave." After Elder Three soared away, Nangong Yuqin smiled softly, "Two years will be enough for me to bring Tan Yun back home and then return."
Having made up her mind, she summoned the Spirit Vessel and, instead of heading towards Fang City, sped towards the exit of the Divine Soul Secret Realm...
The next day, just as dawn broke, Nangong Yuqin maneuvered the Spirit Vessel out of the Divine Soul Secret Realm. Then, she opened her Spirit Beast Bag, and a beam of white light shot out, transforming into a massive snow-white creature in the sky!
