At that moment, Dao Lord Scarlet Star was immersed in grief and did not hear anything clearly.
On the other hand, Dao Lord White Flames frowned and looked at the person, asking in a deep voice, "Which Senior Brother Nangong?"
The sect disciple said, "It's Senior Brother Nangong Ling, Senior Sister Yoo Han-yeon and Senior Sister Ru Xuan."
"What?"
This time round, Dao Lord Scarlet Star heard it clearly.
Dao Lord Scarlet Star turned around and arrived before the disciple instantly. He grabbed the disciple's shoulders and asked loudly with widened eyes, "Are you saying that Nangong Ling and the others are still alive and have returned?"
"Yes, I heard from the disciples patrolling the vicinity of the sect that Senior Brother Nangong and the others are heading towards the sect," The cultivator was shocked by Dao Lord Scarlet Star's appearance and replied hurriedly.
The news of Nangong Ling and the other three being captured was still a secret and was not made public.
Dao Lord White Flames and Dao Lord Scarlet Star were worried that this matter would cause panic.
The two of them merely instructed their disciples to pay attention to the news and whereabouts of Nangong Ling and the other three.
Therefore, the cultivator did not know why the two Dao Lords were so agitated.
Without thinking, Dao Lord Scarlet Star wanted to head over to welcome them.
Dao Lord White Flames was the one who calmed down and grabbed him, reminding, "Wait, be careful of traps!"
"Ah?
Dao Lord Scarlet Star was stunned for a moment before reacting quickly.
This was way too strange.
Nangong Ling and the other two Genying Zhenjun were captured by the Dharma Daojun of Hellfire Hall – why would they suddenly return?
Dao Lord White Flames had a calm expression as he turned and asked, "Apart from the four of them, is there anyone else following them?"
"I'm not sure about that. I don't think so,"
The sect disciple said, "If there were outsiders, the senior brother who sent the message would definitely have mentioned it."
Dao Lord Scarlet Star was anxious and asked hurriedly, "Are the three of them injured? How are they? Were they threatened?"
The sect disciple was sweating profusely. "The message only said that Senior Brother Nangong and the other three are safe and sound. As for whether they were threatened or not … I really don't know."
"That's enough."
Right then, Hokkaidōjin's voice sounded in Dao Lord Scarlet Star's mind. "Go and bring them back. This calamity should have been resolved."
Hokkaidōjin did not know how Su Zimo managed to escape from Dharma Daojun with Nangong Ling and the others.
However, he speculated that only Su Zimo could create such a possibility!
In fact, Hokkaidōjin had more or less guessed it.
However, he did not expect that Su Zimo did not escape from the Dharma Daojun. Instead, he killed the Dharma Daojun!
"Alright, I'll go now."
Dao Lord Scarlet Star could not wait any longer and sped out of the sect in a flash.
…
On a brand new spirit boat, Nangong Ling and the other two had already woken up.
After more than four hours of travel, the spirit boat was about to arrive at Hundred Refinement Sect.
"Little Uncle-Master, what's going on?"
"Little Uncle-Master, what happened? Didn't we fall into the hands of Hellfire Hall?"
"Little Uncle-Master, where's that old fart?"
Along the way, ever since Nangong Ling and the other two woke up, they had gathered in front of Su Zimo and asked non-stop, wishing they could pry open his head.
Even someone as calm as Yoo Han-yeon could not sit still. With a slightly red face, she tugged at Su Zimo's sleeves and asked softly, "Uncle-Master, what happened last night?"
Su Zimo had already transformed into his black-haired, green-robed form. He merely sat in front of the spirit boat and smiled bitterly. "I don't know either. When I woke up, we were already on this spirit boat."
"Little Uncle-Master, you're lying! I don't believe you!"
Ru Xuan pouted with a doubtful expression.
Yoo Han-yeon tilted her head slightly as well and looked at Su Zimo without blinking, as though she wanted to see through some secrets.
For some reason, Yoo Han-yeon and Ru Xuan felt that this matter definitely had something to do with Su Zimo – it was not as simple as he said!
A woman's intuition was truly accurate.
It did not make sense either.
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat as he thought that he had exposed something.
However, he could not explain or say anything about this.
Could it be that he had displayed his might with his Nascent Soul cultivation and killed the Dharma Daojun before transforming into his half-dragon, half-human form and killing the seven Void Reversions as well?
This sounded even more fantastical than a fantasy.
Furthermore, he did not want to expose his identity.
At that thought, Su Zimo could only grit his teeth and say, "It's just that my cultivation realm is higher and I woke up earlier than you guys."
Yoo Han-yeon and Ru Xuan were still doubtful and refused to believe it.
Compared to the two of them, Nangong Ling was much more realistic.
Nangong Ling helped Su Zimo out from the side and said, "Junior Sister, don't bother Little Uncle-Master anymore. A peerless expert should have made a move for us to avert danger."
"Who is that peerless expert? Why isn't he showing himself?"
Ru Xuan pursed her lips and asked instead.
"This …"
Nangong Ling looked embarrassed and was speechless.
How would he know who the peerless expert was?
Turning around, Ru Xuan glared at Su Zimo. "Hmph, Little Uncle-Master, don't try to hide it. You must have something to do with this!"
"I got it!"
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Ru Xuan's mind and she exclaimed.
Everyone present was startled.
Ru Xuan approached Su Zimo mysteriously and said firmly, "Little Uncle-Master, stop hiding! You must have found that peerless expert, right?! "
Su Zimo: "Erm …"
After a while, Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat when he saw that Ru Xuan and Nangong Ling were still pestering him. Suddenly, his expression turned unfathomable. "Alright, since you guys have already discovered my secret, I won't hide it anymore."
Su Zimo coughed gently and said indifferently, "Actually, I was the one who killed Dharma Daojun of Hellfire Hall and the seven Void Reversions before rescuing you guys."
"Tsk!"
Ru Xuan did not believe Su Zimo's words.
On the other hand, Yoo Han-yeon frowned slightly and pondered for a long time, as though she had to ponder over every single word Su Zimo said.
Hundred Refinement Sect was right ahead.
All of a sudden!
The sound of clothes fluttering could be heard as a figure flew over at lightning speed. In the blink of an eye, he had already descended on the spirit vessel!
"Master!"
Nangong Ling and the other two had escaped death. Now that they saw Dao Lord Scarlet Star, they were naturally delighted and stood up to greet him.
However, right after, the three of them seemed to have thought of something and gradually reacted. All of them felt guilty and lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
Initially, Dao Lord Scarlet Star's face was filled with worry. However, when he saw that Nangong Ling and the other two were alive and uninjured, his expression darkened and he was enraged!
"You three brats, can't you stop making me worry? Ah!"
After a brief silence, Dao Lord Scarlet Star roared and spat on the faces of the three of them.
Su Zimo looked at Nangong Ling and the other two and shrugged, wishing them all the best. He hurriedly distanced himself from them, afraid that he would be implicated.
