The next morning, the mountain forest was filled with fresh air. Sunlight shone through the leaves and onto Yang Li's body.
Feeling the warmth of the sun, Yang Li slowly opened his eyes. After a night of cultivation, his soul had completely recovered.
"Creak."
In the quiet mountain forest, the sound of a wooden door being pushed open could be heard. It was extremely ear-piercing, and even Yang Li couldn't help but look over.
The person who had opened the door was Nangong Yanran's wooden house. Nangong Yanran's face, which was originally pale due to the poison, was now much more rosy. The white robe she wore made her look even more pure and innocent.
"You're awake? How do you feel? "Yang Li asked with a smile.
"I feel very comfortable. It's been 20 years, and I've never felt so comfortable." Nangong Yanran smiled. The poison in her body had been cleansed, and she felt much more relaxed. A rare smile appeared on her face, like a blooming epiphyllum in the middle of the night, extremely beautiful.
At this time, another two creaking sounds of the door being pushed open could be heard. Nangong Feng and Ling Yue stepped out at the same time. Compared to Nangong Yanran, the changes to these two were even more obvious.
Nangong Feng, who was originally grey-haired and gave off the feeling of an old man past his prime, not only did his eyebrows and hair turn completely black, his eyes were still calm and indifferent, but the dejection and loneliness that often flashed in his eyes were swept away, replaced by a bright light.
His starry eyes, sharp eyebrows, straight nose, and slightly thin lips, in addition to the green robe on his body, gave him a carefree and unrestrained temperament, causing Yang Li's eyes to light up. He sighed in his heart, 'What a handsome man.'
On the other side, Ling Yue's originally white hair and wrinkles had disappeared without a trace. Her fine black hair cascaded down to her calves. Her large eyes were bright and resplendent. Coupled with her thin eyebrows, exquisite nose, and rosy lips, she gave off the feeling of a young girl in her late twenties.
If she and Nangong Yanran stood together, people who didn't know would think that they were sisters instead of mother and daughter.
Yang Li muttered in his heart, "No wonder Nangong Yanran is so beautiful, it seems like it's hereditary!"
Nangong Feng and Ling Yue walked over hand in hand. The Spiritual Energy fluctuations from their bodies were also slightly emitted. Yang Li could clearly sense their realms, Harmonious Spirit Realm Level 9! Both of them were actually at the ninth level of the Harmonious Spirit Realm!
This made Yang Li a little surprised. One must know that the two of them were only thirty years old twenty years ago, and their cultivation was only at the third level of Harmonious God Realm. Although they had been cultivating for twenty years, their realms did not increase at all. Jumping from the third level of Harmonious God Realm to the ninth level of Harmonious God Realm in just one night, this was unimaginable.
Nangong You had the same doubt as him. She directly asked, "Feng 'er, Yue' er, what's your cultivation?"
Nangong Feng smiled and said, "In these twenty years, we have been continuously cultivating. Although our realms did not increase, our foundations are strong enough. After the poison was removed, we silently broke through to the ninth level of Harmonious God Realm. Moreover, I can feel that in at most a year, I will be able to break through to the Half Law Realm."
"Yue 'er's talent is about the same as mine. By this time next year, our family should have two more Half Law Realm cultivators."
This news made Nangong You extremely excited. She laughed and said, "Hahaha, good, good, good. Heaven rewards the diligent. Our Nangong family is really going to prosper!"
Ling Yue smiled and said, "Great Elder is right. However, we still have to thank Yang Li. If it wasn't for Yang Li, our family of three would not only be unable to break through, our lives would also be in danger."
Nangong Feng also nodded with a smile and said: "Yang Li, the three of us will never forget the great kindness you have shown us. In the future, if there is anything you need help with, just let us know and we will do our best to help you."
"Nangong Family Head is too polite. After all, we are now allies. It is only natural for us to help our allies. However, there is something that I need to discuss with the Nangong Family Head and Great Elder." Yang Li smiled and said.
"If there is anything, just say it. As long as you don't want us to kill our clansmen, we will definitely do our best to help." Nangong You patted her chest and guaranteed.
Yang Li glanced at Ling Yue and Nangong Yanran, but he didn't say anything. However, Ling Yue was very intelligent. When she saw the look in Yang Li's eyes, she knew that the fewer people who knew about this, the better. She said to Nangong Yanran, "Yanran, let's go. I will take you around."
Nangong Yanran looked at Yang Li and revealed a trace of reluctance. However, she still followed Ling Yue. When Nangong Feng saw the look in Nangong Yanran's eyes, he knew that she had a good impression of Yang Li. He had an idea to matchmake her and Yang Li.
Even the way he looked at Yang Li was like a father-in-law looking at his son-in-law. The more he looked at Yang Li, the more satisfied he was.
Yang Li's eyes were fixed on Ling Yue and Nangong Yanran. Naturally, he didn't see Nangong Feng's gaze. When the two figures completely disappeared, Yang Li turned to look at Nangong Feng and Nangong You.
When Yang Li saw Nangong Feng's strange look, he had a bad feeling. However, he didn't think too much about it. After all, he was Nangong Feng's savior, so Nangong Feng wouldn't harm him.
"Nangong Family Head, Great Elder, on the surface, only the four sects, the Nangong Family, and three Semi-Dharma Realm cultivators are on our side. The Lunar Exploration Association can only be regarded as our hidden force. After all, they can't easily intervene in the battle of the Southern Fire Region."
"If that's the case, then our top strength is equal to the other side. However, our middle strength is lower than the other side. I believe that you have already seen through this matter." Yang Li calmly analyzed the situation on both sides as he spoke.
The other two nodded. Nangong Feng's eyes flashed with wisdom and said, "Indeed. If we really fight them head-on, we will definitely suffer a great loss. We might even lose."
"Therefore, we can't fight them head-on right now. However, if we rope in the Feng Family, things will be different." Yang Li said in a low voice.
"Even so, it's not easy to rope in the Feng Family. After all, as far as I know, you've already approached the Feng Family many times." Nangong Feng frowned and said.
"That's why I asked Great Elder and the Nangong Family Head to stay behind to talk about this."
"Let's hear it." Nangong Feng's eyes were filled with a trace of doubt. He looked at Yang Li doubtfully.
"The Feng Family's Young Clan Head, Traceless Feng, and young madam, Yu Yiyi, were captured by the two sects. Furthermore, there are Semi-Dharma Realm cultivators guarding them. They used this to threaten the Feng Family to surrender. The Feng Family and the Yi Family have been enemies for generations. Naturally, they won't agree to it.
"Yu Yiyi has a grandfather-granddaughter relationship with our Tenlan Sect's Dan Hall Master. If we rescue Traceless Feng and Yu Yiyi and show our strength to the other side, the Feng Family's alliance is basically set in stone.
"Previously, they weren't willing to form an alliance because they felt that the two sects and the Yi Family wouldn't dare to do anything to them. Furthermore, our four sects are weak. However, it's different now.
"The two major sects have made a move against them. Our strength is also tyrannical enough. If the Feng Family joins in, then we will be completely evenly matched. When the time comes, we can choose a suitable time to let the Exploring Moon Trade Union join in as well. Then, the two major sects will probably be directly crushed!"
"If one of the two sects is eliminated, the Southern Fire Region will be dominated by us. The entire Southern Fire Region has a lot of cultivation resources. As long as our alliance is strong, when someone breaks through to the Dharma Realm, the major forces in the Forest Bird Region will have to look up to us!"
Yang Li slowly spoke of the plan to rope in the Feng Clan. Then, he directly stated the benefits that his side would receive in the future. He deeply understood one thing: a relationship with benefits was the most solid. If he wanted the Nangong Family to follow the four sects wholeheartedly, then he had to pay the price.
Although they hadn't given enough benefits to the Nangong Family yet, time would let the Nangong Family obtain more benefits than what they were giving now.
Just because they had three monstrous prodigies, it would be enough!
When Nangong Feng heard Yang Li's analysis, he thought for a while and immediately confirmed Yang Li's words. It was indeed like what Yang Li said. As long as they could get the Feng Family's support and alliance, unifying the Southern Fire Region was just a matter of time. The alliance would be as strong as iron because of the benefits involved!
This caused him to have a whole new level of respect for Yang Li. Even Nangong You was deeply shocked in her heart. Both of them had the same thought in their hearts, This kid can only be a friend, not an enemy!
"So, my current plan is to rescue the Young Clan Head and Young Madam of the Feng Family. However, I am definitely not a match for the Half-Law Realm cultivator. Thus, I need Grand Elder to accompany me." Yang Li said cautiously.
"No problem!" Nangong You immediately agreed. She didn't think about how to save them at all.
However, just because he didn't think about it didn't mean that Nangong Feng didn't want to. Although Yang Li's words were good, there were also risks. If the other party had two or more Half-Law Realm cultivators, the Grand Elder would be in danger. So, Nangong Feng asked, "Yang Li, your idea is good, but how should we save them?"
When Yang Li heard this, he smiled gently. He took out his Void Piercing Shuttle and said, "With your insight, you should be able to see the use of this treasure."
When the two of them heard this, they lowered their heads and looked at the treasure in Yang Li's hand. The treasure that was flashing with an indescribable aura caused the two of them to be startled. This wasn't just a flying treasure, it was also an extremely rare spatial treasure!
Yang Li calmly said, "This treasure costs ten high-grade spirit stones to activate an instant teleportation. At that time, Grand Elder only needs to bring me to where Traceless Wind and Nangong You are. Once the two of them are nearby, we can use the treasure to teleport away!"
"The distance is 1500 miles. Even if they want to chase us, they won't be able to catch up to us."
Nangong Feng's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Yang Li, I'm afraid that not many people your age can compare to your wisdom! The plan is very meticulous and there is a way to leave. In that case, as long as Grand Elder has no objections, I will fully agree. "
Grand Elder laughed and said, "No problem. Even if there is danger, if Yang Li wants to go, I will accompany him. Not to mention, there is no danger according to his plan."
"Don't worry, Grand Elder. We won't delay them for too long. Once we find Traceless Wind and Yu Yiyi, we will leave immediately. Then, we will find someone from the Lunar Exploration Association to contact the Feng Family. Alternatively, we can ask Traceless Wind to contact the Feng Family directly. I have some friendship with Traceless Wind. With a little persuasion, an alliance will not be a problem." Yang Li smiled lightly.
They knew the Feng Family's situation better than him. As long as they could save Feng Wuhen, then the two sects' arrogant deterrence of the Southern Fire Region would become a complete joke. In the end, they would become stepping stones for the Four Sect Alliance!
Nangong Feng immediately said, "There is no time to lose. You should leave now. You said that they said they would kill the two of them in 15 days. According to the time you met Yanran, you have at most five days. You must hurry!"
Yang Li's expression was also serious as he said, "Then we will make a move now. Master Nangong, please take care of yourself. In at most ten days, we will return with good news!"
