The Strange Place

The battle between Tianji and Lieyang, which attracted the attention of the entire Beiling Continent, was not carried out openly as the world wished.

No one knows the final outcome of the battle of the top six.

It's just that since the Lieyang Sect returned nearly half of the area that originally belonged to the Tianji Sect, it can be guessed that the Tianji Sect may have won a small victory.

Immediately afterwards, Pei Hongtao announced that he would step down as the head of the sect, and would not intervene in anything unless it was a matter of life and death for the sect.

Zhuo Lian came out of the Tibetan book building with a disappointed face.

"In the entire two-story tome, there are very few records about the Nanling Desert. Even if there are, it is only a few words, but they all mention the Nanling's fierce place!"

After leaving Cangshulou, she went to Xuanyue.

"Going to the Nanling Desert, I don't know how long it will take to return."

"We still need to tell Sun Tianhui or Ye Lingxi one or two things, and we can't just leave quietly like this."

Thinking of Ye Lingxi, Zhuo Lian felt a tinge of warmth in her heart, which was the rare care she could experience in this world.

Xuanyue Hall.

Sun Tianhui and Ye Lingxi sat down respectively, talking about some things with each other,

"Now, it's not too good to be Baili Wenbin as the head of the sect, but it's not too bad."

"Well," Ye Lingxi quite agrees with these remarks: "It is indeed necessary for him, otherwise no matter who is in charge among the five veins, I am afraid that it will cause displeasure."

"The mountain is about to rain and the wind is all over the building," Sun Tianhui looked at Ye Lingxi carefully, with admiration in his expression: "But the deputy seat, these days the realm has improved a lot."

"There is diligence, but not too much. We cultivate against the sky, so we should be diligent."

"If everyone was as persistent and adroit as the deputy seat, the world would be peaceful."

"People don't harm tigers, but they are afraid of tigers hurting people's hearts. Although I, Xuanyue, don't fight about world affairs, I am not afraid of any trouble."

"What the deputy said is true."

Outside Xuanyue Palace,

"Elder Liu, thank you for helping me take care of all the sundries the day before yesterday." The male deacon elder who was guarding outside the Xuanyue Hall saw Zhuo Lian approaching, and greeted her warmly.

Zhuo Lian also politely returned a salute to Elder Feng who was guarding outside the palace gate: "So it's Elder Feng, it's a pleasure to meet, I wonder if the first seat is inside?"

"The first seat and the second seat are both in the hall, and they seem to be discussing something, so I can only wait outside first."

"In that case, I'll wait outside too."

Zhuo Lian heard Ye Lingxi talking with Sun Tianhui inside, so she didn't rush in to disturb her. An An waited outside quietly, but Elder Feng next to her took the initiative to chat with her.

"Elder Liu, I wonder how old you are now? Hehe, age doesn't really matter."

"Elder Liu, I don't know if your Lingtang is here now?"

"Elder Liu, I don't know if you already have a partner who is looking for the way together? It doesn't matter if you have one. A good bird chooses a tree to live in."

"...Elder Feng, are you... practicing the technique of gossip?"

Zhuo Lian didn't expect that this stubble-faced and tall Elder Feng actually had such an exquisite and gossiping heart.

Just when Zhuo Lian felt a little unbearable, a person came out from the hall and helped her out.

Ye Lingxi glanced unhappily at Elder Feng next to her, and then looked at Zhuo Lian: "Huh? Junior Sister Liu, you are usually practicing in seclusion, why did you come to Xuanyue Palace today?"

"Senior Sister Ye, I..."

"Slow down, you don't think I'm responsive to anything, do you?"

Seeing that Zhuo Lian was at a loss for words, Ye Lingxi suddenly chuckled a few times: "Forget it, the weather is good today, so follow me around and have a look."

The winding path leads to a secluded place, where the fragrance of flowers is refreshing. Two stunning beauties walk slowly side by side. Occasionally, one or two spirit birds stand on the branches and sing softly. A gust of breeze blows the petals flying, forming a painting. Middle Wonderland.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"I don't know how much Senior Sister Ye knows about Nanling."

"You are going to Nanling!"

Ye Lingxi frowned when she heard the words, and she pondered for a moment before answering: "There is nothing special outside the Nanling Desert, but inside the Nanling, there are rumors of great horror!"

"Great horror!" Zhuo Lian's pupils shrank unnaturally: "I would like to hear the details."

"The Nanling Desert was originally a good place for self-cultivation. Many celebrities in the field of self-cultivation in Beiling Continent came from there,"

"But then Nanling turned into a boundless desert overnight, and all living beings in it were completely dead, without any vitality,"

"Isn't there anyone who went to investigate?"

"This shocking change shocked the entire cultivation world of Beiling Continent at that time. Many celebrities and sects entered the cultivation world, but in the end they all went there and never returned. So far, the cultivation world has completely given up there!"

"Then Nanling is empty now?"

"That's not true. A lot of scum from the cultivation world gathered in the outskirts of the desert, and it's already a place of chaos."

Ye Lingxi briefly explained to Zhuo Lian, and found that she was unmoved, then she reached out and took out several bottles and jars and handed them over: "When are you going to leave?"

Zhuo Lian bowed gratefully to Ye Lingxi, and replied: "We will leave tomorrow, and please ask Senior Sister to take care of Xuan'er and the others for me."

Ye Lingxi accepted the gift calmly, and responded jokingly: "Then you have to hurry up, otherwise I will train them all to death if I am not careful, and when you come back, there will be only a smear of loess left."

Hearing what Ye Lingxi said, Zhuo Lian knew that she had promised her, and she was happy in her heart, and it was rare for her to make a joke: "There is nothing in return, I would like to promise her with my body."

Ye Lingxi looked Zhuo Lian up and down playfully: "Okay, then you, let's become a man first."

Unexpectedly, Zhuo Lian gave an unnatural expression when she heard the words, but then a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth inexplicably, which made Ye Lingxi not understand.

Zhang Ziliang clasped his hands around his neck, leaning against the corner of the table inside the room, looking at the starry sky outside, with a sad expression on his face.

"I don't know how my parents are now. Is there any chance for me to go back, alas."

All kinds of distracting thoughts came to his mind, making him unable to practice at all.

Suddenly Zhang Ziliang seemed to have a feeling in his heart, and walked quickly outside the house, and saw Zhuo Lian standing quietly under the moonlight with his hands behind his back.

The falling moonlight cast a layer of pure white on her body, and a gust of night wind rustled the bamboo grove, even blowing her white palace skirt.

Zhuo Lian didn't turn around, but asked gently: "Do you like her?"

"Huh?" Zhang Ziliang was confused by this inexplicable question.

"Ye Lingxi, do you like her?"

After Zhang Ziliang was silent for a long time, his words were full of affirmation: "Of course I like it, but why are you asking this?"

"Remember this love."

Zhuo Lian turned around, took a deep look at Zhang Ziliang, and then shot up into the sky, not knowing where she was going.

Seeing Zhuo Lian drifting away in the sky, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart. Although they come from the same source, they are more like family members now.

But Zhang Ziliang didn't know that it would be many years before he and Zhuo Lian saw each other again.
