Chapter 1536: The Situation in the Upper Realm
After hearing Luo Li's words, not only the Third Prince and Sheng Xue were shocked, but even Lu Yun beside them was stunned.
"Uh... you guys wait a moment, the people from the Sikong family can't just leave like that, I'll go see them off first, you guys wait for me to come back."
Although it was a hard-fought victory, Sikong Wan's death made Lu Yun feel guilty and regretful.
"Master Demon King, do you have anything else to say?"
Sikong Polong's face was filled with sadness, and he seemed unwilling to even look at Lu Yun.
"Uh... please accept my condolences, I... don't know what to say." Lu Yun said awkwardly.
"If you don't know, don't tell us. We are going back to the Sikong family to hold a funeral for the head of the family." Sikong Polong said and was about to leave.
"Wait." Lu Yun hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him: "I have something here. It is the reward that I discussed with your family master. Please accept it."
Lu Yun stuffed a storage ring into his hand.
"Also, the Sikong family has made an indelible contribution to the resolution of the crisis in the spirit world. The demon clan owes you, and the entire spirit world owes you. If there are difficulties in the future, the demon clan will definitely go all out and will not hesitate to die."
Sikong Polong looked at the storage ring in his hand and said coldly, "Master Demon King, you are too kind. Your gift is too expensive. Our Sikong family cannot afford it."
After saying that, he threw the storage ring back to Lu Yun and walked away.
Lu Yun took the ring and looked at their departing backs. He felt bad in his heart. He sighed secretly and turned back.
Sheng Xue and the Third Prince lowered their heads and remained silent. The others were whispering nearby, and no one knew what they were talking about.
"What's going on? Tell me clearly quickly." Lu Yun asked.
Luo Li hugged her shoulders, glanced at Sheng Xue and the others, and then said, "Little Lu Yun, do you know how many cultivators from the upper realm are here this time?"
Her question stumped Lu Yun.
"In fact, apart from here, there are three other large space crack formations. Otherwise, my mother would not have failed to take action." Luo Li explained.
"Oh? There is such a thing?" Lu Yun asked in surprise.
"The reason why I said that the two of them cannot leave the spirit world is because the upper world has prepared a net of heaven and earth, waiting for the two of them to return."
"This……"
Lu Yun glanced at the two of them.
"Is there no other way?"
"It's not that there is no way, it's just... difficult!"
"I just don't believe that there is no place for them in this world?" Lu Yun asked back.
"Little Lu Yun, are you really stupid or are you just pretending? What is Sheng Xue's identity? It is an open secret in the upper realm. If she wants to return to the upper realm master, she will have to go through many hardships and at least be hunted down by various forces. Even so, you still want to find a way to let her go back?"
"Sigh~"
Lu Yun took a deep breath and his heart suddenly sank.
He really wanted to know why Sheng Xue was so famous in the upper realm? She was just an illegitimate daughter. Those big forces wouldn't bother to go against a little girl like her, right?
Luo Li seemed to see what Lu Yun was thinking and pulled Sheng Xue in front of him.
"Ask her the specific reason yourself."
Sheng Xue lowered her head and just glanced at Lu Yun.
"Ms. Sheng Xue, what on earth is going on?"
Sheng Xue looked at the Third Prince and seemed unwilling to speak.
"Let me tell you." The Third Prince sighed, "In fact, the upper realm is undercurrent, not as calm as it seems."
Lu Yun frowned.
"Heaven, everything originates from Heaven. Sheng Xue's biological father is the master of the upper realm. You know that people who sit in that position have too many things that are beyond their control."
“Some people who don’t like the Realm Master try every possible means to pull him down, but the Realm Master carries the destiny of the Great Dao of the Upper Realm. Unless he takes the initiative to leave that position, even the Heavenly Dao cannot directly wipe him out.”
Having said this, the Third Prince looked at Sheng Xue who was crying softly.
"So, Sheng Xue became the bargaining chip for those people. They once secretly said that anyone who could get Sheng Xue would be rewarded handsomely, regardless of whether she was dead or alive."
Lu Yun understood what the third prince said, and he could do nothing about this matter.
With his current abilities, he is not capable of making an enemy of the entire upper realm.
The cultivation level of cultivators in the upper realm is already very high, so it is very easy for them to get news about Sheng Xue. He even believes that the so-called ten thousand year catastrophe is also closely related to Sheng Xue.
Sheng Xue slowly raised her head, looked at Lu Yun and said, "I've thought about it. No matter what, he is still my father. Now he is in danger. I can't hide from him all the time. Instead of being remembered by others, it's better to show up in front of the world."
"You have a point." Lu Yun nodded and said, "Go back to your father openly and honestly, he will definitely protect you."
Lu Yun walked up to the Third Prince and said, "Third Prince, I believe you are sincere to Sheng Xue. Now she wants to go back. This time it must be extremely dangerous. Do you have any plan to deal with it?"
The third prince stared into Lu Yun's eyes and took out a purple pill.
"This pill can help Sheng Xue hide her original aura, but the effect is too short, and it can only last for about three days. If you want to help, refine a few more of these pills. As long as we enter the range of the Heavenly Court, Sheng Xue will be safe."
Lu Yun looked at the pill, but he began to have doubts in his heart.
He had heard a little about this kind of elixir. It was not difficult to refine, but the difficulty lay in the medicinal materials.
Among them there is a kind of "wild grass" that does not exist at all in the entire spiritual world. Even in the underworld, it has never appeared.
The third prince smiled and handed a storage ring to Lu Yun.
"Here is the recipe and all the herbs, enough to make ten secret pills. I'll trouble you, Master Demon King."
After saying that, the third prince bowed deeply to Lu Yun.
"The Third Prince is in a serious condition. Miss Sheng Xue is my friend after all, so I will still help her!"
For Lu Yun, refining the elixir is not a difficult task at all, especially when he has the elixir recipe and all the materials. He only needs to leave everything to the Xuantian Furnace.
So, after more than half a day, twelve purple pills appeared in Lu Yun's hands.
He put the pill into a small porcelain bottle and then handed it to the third prince.
The third prince took one out and handed it to Sheng Xue.
"Take it, and I will take you back to the upper realm."
Sheng Xue took the pill without any hesitation and put it into her mouth.
"can not eat!"
Two figures suddenly appeared in the void.
"Senior Bai, Senior Ruoying, why are you here?" Lu Yun asked respectfully.
Bai Daolin had a worried look on his face. He did not answer Lu Yun's question, but just stared at Sheng Xue.
Ruoying looked indifferent, she just snorted coldly and looked at the third prince.
Lu Yun and others were confused and waited for Bai Daolin's answer.
Bai Daolin shook his head helplessly, then slowly said: "Lu Yun, your biggest shortcoming is that you believe other people's words too easily."
