The Nangong Family Head was not foolish.
Since Kenshin came alone without any fanfare, there must be something going on.
Moreover, they had to keep a low profile to prevent the news from being leaked.
After all, Kenshin was still a wanted man. Once the news was leaked out, he would be besieged by a large group of experts.
By then, not only would Yanxu's grotto-heaven be surrounded, Kenshin's life would also be in danger.
Keeping it a secret was of utmost importance.
After entering Yanxu's grotto-heaven, the group flew across the sky, across the mountains and rivers, towards the depths of the grotto-heaven.
Yanxu's grotto-heaven was huge, with a radius of eight hundred thousand miles.
This grotto-heaven, which could accommodate billions of living beings, only had about ten thousand people living in it.
Almost ten thousand of them were the disciples and relatives of the Nangong Family. The other few thousand were the servants and relatives of the Nangong Family.
Yanxu's grotto-heaven was rich in divine power and resources, forming a world of its own.
As long as the Realm of Gods was not destroyed, this grotto-heaven, which was attached to the Realm of Gods, could exist forever.
Even if the Nangong Family lived in seclusion for hundreds of millions of years, it would not be a problem.
The palaces of the Nangong Family were built on the peak of the mountains in the depths of the grotto-heaven. That was where the divine power was the most abundant.
Ji Tianxing and the others flew across the sky unhurriedly, chatting about some casual topics along the way.
Looking at the surrounding mountains and rivers, it was a beautiful scenery filled with spiritual energy. The atmosphere was even more joyous.
After about forty-five minutes, the group flew across hundreds of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers and arrived at the palaces in the depths of the grotto-heaven.
Even though they were still a few hundred miles away, they could see a stretch of towering mountains connected together. Each mountain peak was arranged in a picturesque manner.
Ji Tianxing had been here before and stayed for half a month.
Of course, he knew that there were forty-nine mountains. On each mountain peak, there were a few palaces and mansions.
Altogether, there should be more than two hundred palaces and more than three hundred mansions.
Looking from afar, the palaces and mansions were dazzling, exquisite and dignified.
There were teams of guards in bright armor guarding the entrance of each palace, as well as the left and right sides of each main road.
Yanxu's grotto-heaven had been sealed for many years and no outsiders had entered.
However, the Nangong Clan would not give up on basic precautions.
Ji Tianxing had thought that after the Nangong Clan had sealed themselves off from the world and lived in seclusion for hundreds of years, their clansmen must have become lazy and slack off.
Even if he entered the palaces, most of the Nangong Clan members would be cultivating in seclusion.
However, he didn't expect that when the Nangong Family Head and Elders escorted him to the plaza of the main peak, a large group of Nangong Family members appeared around him.
"Welcome back, Lord Kenshin!"
At least three hundred people from the Nangong Clan, all wearing luxurious clothes and exquisite accessories, surrounded the square.
They were all in high spirits, and their emotions were stirred up. Their faces were filled with joy as they looked at Ji Tianxing with sparkling eyes.
The dozen or so young girls at the front of the crowd were holding many trays filled with divine fruits and wine cups filled with bejeweled nectar.
The leader of the group was a young woman. She wore an aqua blue gauze dress. She had a noble and elegant temperament.
Her expression and emotions seemed to be calmer, but her eyes were more complicated. Her eyes were as clear as a lake, and they contained an indescribable excitement and longing.
She held a five-colored haze cloak with embroidered dragon patterns in her hands. She looked at Ji Tianxing affectionately.
It was obvious that when the Nangong Family Head brought the Elders to the entrance of the cave to welcome Ji Tianxing.
The news of Kenshin's return spread throughout the Yanxu cave.
Those disciples who were cultivating in seclusion naturally didn't receive the news. They couldn't come out of seclusion in a short period of time.
However, those disciples who weren't cultivating in seclusion, and were just cultivating normally, all moved out.
The young disciples who admired and missed Kenshin even gathered at the main peak spontaneously and prepared this simple but passionate welcoming ceremony.
As for the dozen or so young girls, the most elegant, dignified, noble and beautiful young woman was actually the one who was the most excited and the most surprised.
It was just that she had great self-restraint and didn't lose her composure in front of everyone.
Looking at the hundreds of Nangong Family disciples who were cheering, Ji Tianxing felt a little emotional. He felt a tinge of warmth in his heart.
Even if he had disappeared for more than a thousand years, even if these young disciples didn't have a deep relationship with him.
But after more than a thousand years, these people could still remember him and treat him so warmly.
He felt that he didn't waste his effort to help the Nangong Family resolve the crisis.
"Everyone, it's been a thousand years. When we meet again, everyone is still in their prime. It's really delightful.
Thank you for your warm welcome. Long Tian can't thank you enough! "
Ji Tianxing looked at the crowd with a face full of smiles. He clasped his fists and thanked them.
The hundreds of young disciples became even more excited when they saw his reaction. They waved their hands and shouted.
The Nangong Family Head and a few Elders looked at this scene with a smile. They didn't stop them, nor did they rush them.
Then, the young woman in the aqua blue gauze dress held the colorful haze and embroidered dragon cloak. She walked gracefully in front of Ji Tianxing.
She had a faint smile on her face. Her red lips parted slightly. Her voice was calm and gentle as she said, "Long Tian, welcome back to the Yanxu Cave!
This cloak was embroidered by me back then. It's just that I didn't have the chance to give it to you.
Now that you've returned safe and sound, please accept it. "
Although, she tried her best to maintain her composure and make her tone sound even calmer.
But if one listened carefully, one would notice that her voice was trembling.
This was naturally because she was too excited and surprised to see Long Tian again. Moreover, he was right in front of her.
At this moment, there was only one thought in her mind.
To be able to see Long Tian again in this life, the thousand years of waiting and longing was worth it.
This was also God's favor to her, giving her another chance.
After saying these words, she held the gorgeous, exquisite, and dreamlike cloak in both hands and handed it to Ji Tianxing.
Ji Tianxing looked at the beauty in front of him and was momentarily speechless. His heart was filled with mixed feelings, and he didn't know what to say.
Of course, he knew that this woman was the Princess of the Nangong Family, the apple of the Nangong Family Head's eye, Nangong Nihuang.
He also knew how much Nangong Nihuang admired and even worshipped him back then.
And Nangong Nihuang's feelings for him were well known to the Nangong Family.
Back then, when he rejected that seemingly 'logical' marriage, he thought that he had broken Nangong Nihuang's heart and made Nangong Nihuang feel very embarrassed.
More than a thousand years had passed, and Nangong Nihuang should have long forgotten about him. She shouldn't have any feelings for him to speak of.
But he didn't expect that when they met again, Nangong Nihuang was no different from back then.
Whether it was the way she looked at him, or the way she spoke, it was exactly the same as back then.
As for Nangong Nihuang's thoughts and feelings, he was afraid that … they were still unwavering.
