In a small courtyard in the Jiuhua Alliance, Zhao Binger reclined on a recliner. She squinted her eyes as she felt the warmth of the sun. She looked very tranquil. The gentle rays of the sun shone on her cheeks, revealing a beautiful side profile.
She had been awake for a long time. Ever since Little Tanuki returned with the Archaeopterygium, the poison in her body had been completely removed. It was a blessing in disguise. After absorbing the enormous amount of energy from the Archaeopterygium, her strength increased by leaps and bounds. Even the bottleneck of the Virtualized Realm could not stop her. She broke through all the way to the first layer of the Virtualized Realm.
No wonder the Sikong family valued the Archaeopterygium so much. Not to mention the importance of the Archaeopterygium to the Yin Yang Soul-Severing Parasite, the powerful energy it contained was enough to make anyone envious.
However, even though her strength had skyrocketed, and she had been rescued from the brink of death, Zhao Binger did not feel the slightest bit of joy. From the moment she woke up, she had been looking for Lu Xuan. At first, Ye Wenjun and the others hid it from her, saying that Lu Xuan was still at Octagon Temple to investigate the situation. However, Zhao Binger was a very meticulous person. Since Lu Xuan had gone to Octagon Temple to save her, there was no way he wouldn't have returned after obtaining the Archaeopterygium.
After a few questions from her, everyone had no choice but to reveal the truth. If it weren't for the enormous amount of energy she had received from the Archaeopterygium, Zhao Binger would have fainted again.
However, although she had withstood the blow, she never smiled again. In order to save her, Ruo Xiangyi had given her a life-saving pill. Lu Xuan had risked his life to obtain the antidote for her. This was a heavy price to pay. If she had a choice, she would rather not wake up.
Since then, Zhao Binger had fallen in love with basking in the sun alone. Only from the heat of the sun could she feel a trace of warmth, and her heart would not feel so cold and lonely.
Little Tanuki also lay lazily on Zhao Binger's body, basking in the sun with her. Unlike Zhao Binger's pessimism, Little Tanuki had faith in Lu Xuan. It believed that Lu Xuan would not be able to overcome this obstacle. Moreover, it could vaguely sense Lu Xuan's situation through the Blood Contract. Although this connection was very thin, at least it knew that Lu Xuan was still alive, and that was enough.
Ao Ze stood under the eaves like a piece of wood, quietly acting as a competent bodyguard. Although he had been seriously injured in the battle of Octagonal Temple, he had been well recuperated after returning to Jiuhua Alliance. He had used all kinds of precious spiritual materials as if they were free. Now, not only had he recovered, but his realm had also improved. Perhaps he was not far from entering the Mid-stage Monster Emperor realm.
All of a sudden, Little Tanuki jumped up from Zhao Binger's body, instantly breaking the tranquil and serene scene.
Feeling Little Tanuki's sudden movement, Zhao Binger opened her eyes with a trace of haziness, and asked softly, "Little Tanuki, what's wrong? Did Chenxi and Xinyi come back from cultivation? "
During this time, Zhao Binger's mood was low, and she had not the slightest motivation to cultivate. However, Xia Chenxi and Lin Xinyi practiced diligently. Although they knew that no matter how much they practiced, they might not be of any help to Lu Xuan, they only hoped that they would not cause trouble for Lu Xuan at a critical moment.
Hearing Zhao Binger's words, Little Tanuki seemed a little excited, but also a little anxious, and hurriedly said, "No, it's Xuan who is back!"
"What did you say?!" Zhao Binger instantly stood up from the chair, her face overflowing with joy. Caught off guard, Little Tanuki was directly shaken to the ground.
Zhao Binger was not the only one who was overjoyed. Hearing Little Tanuki's words, even Ao Ze, who was leaning against the wall, instantly straightened his body and looked straight at Little Tanuki.
Little Tanuki skillfully flipped over on the ground, and nimbly stood up, nodded heavily, and said, "Yes, it's Xuan who is back! He must be back! "
"Little Tanuki, where is master?" Ao Ze anxiously rushed over, bringing along a gust of wind.
"I don't know, but I know that he must be back. I can clearly feel Xuan's aura again. He is very far away from us, but he is definitely on the Heavenly Sword Continent. The barrier that blocked my connection with Xuan has already disappeared."
Before Little Tanuki's voice fell, she saw Zhao Binger quickly rushing towards the door. At this moment, the oppressive aura on Zhao Binger's body had already disappeared without a trace, as if she had completely come back to life.
Seeing Zhao Binger run out, Little Tanuki hurriedly followed behind and shouted, "Sister Binger, where are you going?"
"I'm going to find Alliance Master Ye and master. Little Tanuki, quickly go and inform Chenxi and Xinyi." After Zhao Binger finished speaking, she had already disappeared.
Little Tanuki turned around and jumped onto Ao Ze's broad shoulder, and said in high spirits, "Blockhead, let's go and inform Sister Chenxi and Sister Xinyi."
"Alright, stand firm!" Ao Ze laughed, and directly jumped on the spot. He jumped dozens of feet high, then suddenly stepped out of the courtyard and rushed towards the place where Lin Xinyi and the others practiced martial arts.
Soon, the Jiuhua Alliance's inner residence, which had been as calm as a pool of clear water, suddenly boiled over. In the front hall, more and more people rushed in, and more and more people came in.
Ye Wuhen, who had been dealing with the affairs of the Alliance, received the news from Zhao Ying. She directly threw the matter at hand to Ye Hao, only saying that Lu Xuan was back, and rushed back, leaving Ye Hao standing there with an uncertain expression on his face.
When Ye Wuhen returned, the hall was already full of people. Ye Ruida, Zhao Ying, Zhao Binger, Xia Chenxi, Lin Xinyi, Zhang Dongshuang, Qin Yueyi, Little Tanuki, Ao Ze, as well as Lin Tian, Xia Ye, Xing Feng, and other good friends of Lu Xuan from Wind Sword School, who had already joined the Jiuhua Alliance. There were also two people, Lu Yu and Lu Qiong.
As soon as they received news of Lu Xuan's disappearance, Lu Yu abandoned everything in Lin City and came to Jiuhua Alliance with Lu Qiong, because this was the fastest place to get news of Lu Xuan.
Everyone present had been waiting for this day for a long, long time, and now, the day had finally come!
Ye Wuhen was not the last to arrive. Just after Ye Wuhen, Ye Haoran also arrived with Ye Xuanxuan. As soon as they entered, Ye Haoran asked, "Big brother, I heard that Xuan 'er is back?"
"I'm not sure, but Little Tanuki has already sensed Xuan 'er's aura. Little Tanuki's senses shouldn't be wrong. Xuan' er must have returned to the Heavenly Sword Continent."
Ye Haoran laughed heartily. "It's good that he's back. As long as he's on the Heavenly Sword Continent, we will use all the power of the Jiuhua Alliance to find him."
Just as Ye Haoran finished speaking, three figures appeared at the door one after another.
Everyone looked back. Ye Wuhen said in surprise, "Grandpa, great-grandpa, granduncle, why are you all here?"
The three who came were the Patriarchs of the Ye family, Ye Guangjian, Ye Wenjun, and Ye Wenyan! Usually, the three of them guarded Mount Jiuhua and paid no attention to the outside world. Aside from Ye Wenjun's visit to the Holy Temple of Eight Corners to rescue Lu Xuan, the other two rarely appeared.
Seeing everyone salute, Ye Wenyan, who was the most senior among them, smiled and gestured that there was no need for formalities. He said, "It was Ruida who informed us. We heard that Xuan 'er was back, so we wanted to come and see him."
