Feng Shiming's face suddenly darkened, and he wanted to stop him, but he thought of how long it would take for his granddaughter to come back after she left, so she held it back.
He turned his head away, out of sight and out of mind.
Half a moment.
The man slowly let go of his hand and let go of the girl in his arms.
Her eyes, full of reluctance and nostalgia, lingered on her flushed cheeks, her thin lips moved slightly, and she had countless things to say in her heart, but in the end they all turned into just one sentence.
"Be careful," his fingers caressed her face, his voice was slightly hoarse, "remember to miss me."
"...I will." Chu Ran looked at him and said softly: "Then I'll go."
The man's fingertips trembled, and a layer of dark color appeared on his brows, which disappeared briefly.
He took back his hand and hummed softly.
Chu Ran took a deep look at him, then looked at his relatives in front of the house, and then turned around neatly.
"Set off!"
The nameless team instantly broke away from watching the show and flew into the air.
The black crane they rode on when they were on their way was taken back to the spirit beast space.
Chu Ran threw out a space stone that recorded the direction of Lingxin Sect.
The next moment, the spiritual power of the spiritual master realm exploded, all of it was injected into it.
The air tore apart, condensing into a twisted spiritual vortex.
Chu Ran didn't look back and stepped into the whirlpool first.
The familiar squeezing feeling came over her. She resisted the pressure and quickly shuttled through the spiritual energy channel, heading towards the brightly lit place in front of her.
Behind him, all members of the unknown team followed closely.
Through the light, what appeared in front of them was the familiar scenery of the Lingxin Sect Protector's Peak.
But the moment Chu Ran landed, he frowned fiercely.
"The red light there is even better." Cang Wanyan stood beside her, looking into the direction of the abyss of the Demon Realm, her expression looking a little solemn.
Yao Hengyu also changed his usual playful smile: "It seems that the situation is indeed not optimistic."
"Don't you think it's strange?" Zhou Qingsu said suddenly, his eyes scanning the empty surroundings, "It's impossible for no one to notice the appearance of the space stone here, but no one has come here until now. This is unreasonable."
When Chu Ran heard this, his heart suddenly sank.
"Sending a message to the senior brothers." As she said that, she closed her eyes and released her spiritual consciousness.
The spiritual consciousness encompassed the entire mountain guard, but no familiar breath was found!
Fortunately, the Ling Jian was quickly connected. The moment Senior Brother Ling Xuanfeng came out with a surprised voice, Chu Ran decisively withdrew his spiritual consciousness and opened his eyes to look at the Ling Jian.
"Junior Sister Cang?"
Cang Wanyan breathed a long sigh of relief. During the short period of waiting, countless terrible conjectures popped up in her mind, but luckily she was able to contact someone.
She immediately handed the spiritual slip to Chu Ran.
Chu Ran took it and asked in a deep voice: "What happened to Senior Brother Xuanfeng? Why are the master and senior brothers not in the outer sect."
"How do you know?" Ling Xuanfeng realized something as soon as he asked, "You have returned to the sect?"
"Yes." Chu Ran replied, "We are protecting the mountain peak now, but there is no one here."
She raised her eyelids and looked at the dark red sky in the distance.
"Senior brothers, did you set off to the Demon Realm Abyss?"
"No." Ling Xuanfeng denied immediately.
"Then where are the brothers now?"
Chu Ran's answer was silence.
Her brows suddenly furrowed even more tightly: "If senior brother refuses to say it clearly, then we have to go find it ourselves."
"Little junior sister, please don't do this nonsense." Ling Xuanfeng said hurriedly, and remained silent for a few moments before speaking in a compromising manner: "We are all in the martial arts training ground of Qingyun Palace."
After the interrogation ended, Chu Ran immediately summoned the two-tailed black crane and went straight to the Qingyun Temple martial arts training ground on the main peak.
In the vast martial arts field, all the disciples of the Lingxin Sect gathered at this time. Even the disciples who left the sect to perform tasks were urgently summoned back and stood neatly on the sand of the martial arts field using the peaks as an array.
In front, are the mentors of each peak. On the high platform directly in front, stands the elder of the Hundred Beasts Peak, Lingxin.
After receiving the summons, Ling Xuanfeng immediately told his master Lingjue about the matter, and he then reported it to Lingxin.
"They actually came back at this critical moment." The old man, who was over fifty years old, frowned, "It seems that I can't hide it from them this time."
Lingxin murmured, and as soon as he finished speaking, the blood in the distance suddenly became rich.
The next moment, the air vibrated, and a creepy cold breath rushed in.
The disciples present felt a strong sense of discomfort. Being in this aura was like falling into an ice cellar. The coldness came from the bones, carrying extreme uneasiness and danger, making them instinctively reject it.
.
"This is... the aura of the demon-slaying battlefield has leaked out." Lingxin looked solemn, "If this continues, the barrier may not last long."
Lingjue's heart sank to the bottom.
"These days, the barrier is getting weaker and weaker. The sect leaders and elders have strengthened it several times in the past, and now they stay outside the barrier for a long time and continue to strengthen the barrier. But even so, it is still difficult to block the breath.
Breathing?"
Just the opening of the Demon-Slaying Battlefield has caused such a big commotion. This year's Demon-Slaying Battlefield will definitely be more dangerous than every time in the past!
Looking at the sky in the distance that is constantly being soaked, and the breath that is constantly coming.
Everyone present truly realized that the demon-slaying battlefield was really about to begin!
"We can't wait any longer!" Lingxin exclaimed loudly, "All the disciples listened to the order and immediately set off to the Demon Realm Abyss to protect the six sects!"
"yes!"
The sound shook the sky, and twin-tailed black cranes appeared in the sky. A swarm of magical beasts covered the sky, and flashed across the sky like lightning.
When leaving the sect, Lingxin and Lingjue joined forces to activate the sect-protecting formation.
"Boom!"
The earth shook, and a golden magic circle barrier rose from the ground, protecting the entire Lingxin Sect within it.
This is a powerful array set up by the Lingxin Sect when it was founded. Unless the person setting up the array opens the passage, neither powerful enemies from outside nor people within the array can enter or exit.
"This way, you don't have to worry about Junior Sister and the others coming." Ling Xuanfeng said softly.
"It has only been a few months since they entered the sect. They are complete newcomers. Our senior brothers are not dead yet, so how can there be any reason for the newcomers to charge into battle? What's more, they have outstanding talents and an immeasurable future. If this battle,
It's really as difficult and dangerous as the various sects suspected, and I'm afraid not many people can come back alive."
Even after saying this, there was no timidity or fear on Bai Kun's face, only calmness.
He smiled and said: "Keeping them means keeping the future of the sect. Isn't it because of this that everyone unanimously decided to hide it from the junior sisters and them?"
I just didn't expect them to come back on their own, and so early.
"Do you think junior sisters and others will be so angry that they will curse us in the sect?"
"I don't want the junior sisters to be angry all their lives and come back alive." Ling Xuanfeng's eyes were firm, "I apologized to them in person and let them calm down."
The disciples who heard this were startled for a moment, and then bright smiles appeared on their faces.
