Square in front of the Vermilion Bird Star Monarch's mansion.
All the cultivators waiting to enter the Heavenly Dipper Secret Realm, including the few Sect Elders that led these cultivators, as well as the Venerables from the various Star Realms, were all quietly sitting there, waiting.
Even though they had been waiting here for six days with nothing to do, they still sat there quietly, because the Left Prime Minister, who was standing in the sky, said the word 'wait'.
Of course, there were also people who were anxious, such as Di Nankun, Huo Lin, and Shi Qianbi. The only one who wasn't worried was the frosty Bai Yuhan.
Even Di Nankun felt ashamed of himself when he saw Bai Yuhan's calm appearance. Even though Di Nankun said with certainty that Ling Dong was fine, his heart was still in a mess. Even though he was sitting cross-legged, he was still worried about Ling Dong's situation.
Judgment was one thing, but Ling Dong had met with an accident at the Vermilion Bird Star Monarch's mansion.
Since Yue Yuan hadn't appeared, Di Nankun was sure that if something had happened to Ling Dong, it must have been because Yue Yuan had used some underhanded means. However, Di Nankun was worried that Yue Yuan's underhanded means wouldn't be something that Ling Dong could easily withstand.
Even if he could barely withstand it, wouldn't he suffer a great loss? What had happened to Ling Dong in the Vermilion Bird Star Monarch's mansion?
Just as Di Nankun was thinking about this, Bai Yuhan, who was sitting cross-legged not far from him, suddenly opened her eyes. She looked in the direction of the Vermilion Bird Star Monarch's mansion and suddenly said, "He's here!" When she said this, a hint of joy involuntarily appeared in her eyes.
"What's here?" Shi Qianbi, who was not far away, was confused when he heard Bai Yuhan's strange words.
Di Nankun was surprised and looked in the direction Bai Yuhan was looking. The moment he looked over, his face lit up with joy. "He's here. Ling Dong is here."
"Where is he, where is he …" Huo Lin's voice suddenly stopped. Looking in the direction Bai Yuhan was pointing, Huo Lin really saw Ling Dong's figure flying over. Looking at Ling Dong's lively figure, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times and the wrinkles on his face opened up.
"Phew …" Almost at the same time, whether it was Di Nankun, Huo Lin, Shi Qianbi, or Bai Yuhan, they all breathed a sigh of relief.... Ling Dong returned safely returned. without missing an arm or leg.
"Martial Uncle, Inspector Di Nn.... . "After bowing to Huo Lin and Di Nankun, Ling Dong's gaze swept past Huo Lin, Di Nankun, Bai Yuhan, and Shi Qianbi. Seeing that everyone was safe, Ling Dong felt relieved.
To be honest, Ling Dong had been extremely worried about their safety in the Vermilion Bird Star Lord's residence for the past few days. He was afraid that something would happen because of his disappearance.
"You little rascal, what happened? If it weren't for Lord Inspector and Yuhan stopping me, I would have rushed into the Vermilion Bird Star Lord's residence to look for you. " Huo Lin looked at Ling Dong and laughed for a while before asking Ling Dong in an extremely dissatisfied tone. His words were filled with deep concern.
Huo Lin's concern made Ling Dong's heart heat up. He felt a lump in his throat. When he looked at Bai Yuhan, he nodded slightly. Ling Dong knew that Bai Yuhan was the only one among the four who could determine whether he was safe or not.
Although Bai Yuhan's String Connection couldn't let her know Ling Dong's specific situation, she could still sense whether Ling Dong was alive or not. This was why Bai Yuhan was certain that Ling Dong had stopped Huo Lin.
"It's Yueyuan. I believe you should have already guessed the reason, right?" Ling Dong glanced at the black-clothed Left Minister sitting in the sky and replied.
"Sure enough, it's that vile person who seeks revenge for the smallest grievance!" Huo Lin couldn't help but curse angrily. Di Nankun's eyes flashed and he asked, "How did Yueyuan harm you? Where is Yueyuan now? "
"I don't know where Yueyuan got half a tael of Seven-Origin Earth Dust and bribed the bamboo demon in the Vermilion Bird Star Lord's residence who takes care of the bamboo forest. He framed me for taking liberties with the bamboo demon and wanted to kill me on the spot."
Hearing Ling Dong's words, everyone, including Di Nankun, held their breaths with a worried expression. To be honest, just thinking about the difference in cultivation between Ling Dong and Yueyuan was enough to make everyone's heart jump to their throats, let alone personally experiencing it.
"What happened after that? How did you survive?" Huo Lin hurriedly asked when he saw Ling Dong stop talking.
"At the moment of crisis, I took out a Flame Sparrow Purple Spirit Feather I obtained in the Heavenly Dipper Continent to protect myself. I didn't expect the Flame Sparrow's aura to attract the attention of the Vermilion Bird Star Lord and the Ancestor Vermilion Bird. The Ancestor Vermilion Bird's eyes were like torches and could clearly distinguish right from wrong. She recognized Yueyuan's evil scheme and naturally saved me." Ling Dong tried to focus on the main points.
"The Ancestor Vermilion Bird?" Huo Lin, Shi Qianbi, and Bai Yuhan frowned at the same time. Obviously, they had never heard of such an existence. However, just by hearing the name, they knew that the Ancestor Vermilion Bird was an extraordinary existence.
After hearing Ling Dong mention the supreme existence of the entire Vermilion Bird Star Lord and the Ancestor Vermilion Bird, the experienced and knowledgeable Di Nankun's eyes widened in disbelief. "You saw the Ancestor Vermilion Bird? You actually saw the Ancestor Vermilion Bird?"
"Yes, I saw her. What's wrong?" Ling Dong nodded innocently. He couldn't understand Di Nankun's surprise.
"No, nothing." Di Nankun hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head. "I can only say that you're too lucky. Even my grandfather, the Celestial Lord Di, only saw the Ancestor Vermilion Bird once. As for me, I've only heard of her name."
After that, Di Nankun asked again, "What about Yueyuan? How is he? Where did he go?"
"Yueyuan is dead. His spirit has been destroyed!" Ling Dong said calmly.
"Hiss, dead?!" Hearing Ling Dong's words, Di Nankun, Huo Lin, and the others were shocked again. The impatient Huo Lin hissed and asked, "Dead? How did that bastard Yueyuan die?"
"I killed him with my own hands!"
"What?" This time, it was Di Nankun, Huo Lin, Shi Qianbi, and even the usually calm and quiet Bai Yuhan who asked the same question in unison. They were so shocked that their eyeballs almost fell to the ground. Their faces were filled with disbelief.
"How is this possible? Ling Dong, how did you do it? "After recovering from his shock, Di Nankun asked with a puzzled expression. Ling Dong, who was only at the third level of the Arch-Star Realm, had managed to kill Yueyuan, who was at the peak of the Constellation Realm. Even the word "heaven-defying" wasn't enough to describe this situation.
Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Ling Dong's face revealed a hint of embarrassment. He had kept them in suspense for too long. "Uh … Lord Vermilion Bird personally destroyed Yueyuan's cultivation. Then, he gave me a chance to kill Yueyuan with my own hands and destroy his spirit!"
"Oh, I see." When Huo Lin and the others heard Ling Dong's explanation, they revealed expressions of relief. However, Di Nankun frowned. "Ling Dong, just to frame you, Lord Vermilion Bird destroyed Yueyuan's cultivation on the spot and let you kill him. This seems …" As he spoke, Di Nankun looked at Ling Dong with a puzzled gaze.
Hearing Di Nankun's words, Ling Dong smiled shyly and said, "Didn't the Heavenly Dipper Continent have the Connecting Heaven Palace? Also, that Connecting Heaven Palace is related to the Upper Realm's Heavenly Punishment. Coincidentally, when I went to the Connecting Heaven Palace, I broke the Upper Realm's Heavenly Punishment. It just so happens that Lord Vermilion Bird has a bounty for those who break the Upper Realm's Heavenly Punishment on the Heavenly Dipper Continent. "
At this point, Di Nankun and Huo Lin's eyes almost popped out. Their expressions said, "So it's you."
"Uh … I thought about it and used that bounty to exchange for Yueyuan's head," said Ling Dong.
Ling Dong's words shocked the four of them. Once again, the four of them were dumbfounded.
After being stunned for a while, Huo Lin stomped his feet and said, "You … You're stupid. How can Yueyuan's head compare to Lord Vermilion Bird's bounty?"
Facing his Martial Uncle's reprimand, Ling Dong could only accept it. Did he have to come up with a bunch of reasons to explain himself to Huo Lin?
However, Di Nankun heard the hidden meaning and explained for Ling Dong, "Actually, Ling Dong's decision to exchange the bounty for Yueyuan's head might be a good one. After all, Lord Vermilion Bird's bounty was set up for the top cultivators of the Heavenly Dipper Continent. How high can the cultivation of the top cultivators of the Heavenly Dipper Continent be? They should be at most rank one or two pseudo stars, right? No matter how good the bounty is, how good can it be for a cultivator with such a cultivation? "
In the end, Di Nankun sighed again. "Ling Dong, I didn't expect you to be the cultivator who broke the Heavenly Punishment of the Heavenly Dipper Continent. In fact, the Heavenly Dipper Continent's Residence of the Wooden Spider Realm also has a bounty for cultivators who break the Heavenly Punishment."
When he heard the second half of Di Nankun's sentence, Ling Dong's eyes had already begun to shine. However, Di Nankun's next words made Ling Dong deflate.
"However, I found out too late. That bounty is like a toothpick to the current you. It's only a few thousand Reiki and ten days in the Heavenly Dipper Hall!" Di Nankun shook his head and sighed.
"By the way, Ling Dong, since you dealt with Yueyuan on the first day, what did you do in the five or six days you stayed in Lord Vermilion Bird's residence?" Di Nankun wanted to get to the bottom of the matter. It was clear that everything in Lord Vermilion Bird's residence was something that even Inspector Di Nankun was curious about.
"Uh … Well, it's mainly because the Vermilion Bird Matriarch saw that I cultivated the Vermilion Bird Clan's fire-elemental cultivation method. Also, because of the Flame Sparrow Purple Spirit Feather, she made an exception and gave me some pointers …"
"What? The Vermilion Bird Matriarch actually gave you pointers on your cultivation … "Before Ling Dong could finish speaking, Di Nankun's mouth gaped open so wide that a watermelon could be stuffed in. That shock could no longer be described as shock.
If the previous shock was just an appetizer, then Ling Dong's last sentence was the main course. It was a bombshell.
At this moment, other than shock, Di Nankun was also delighted. He was delighted that he had done the right thing. In the conflict between Ling Dong and Yue Yuan, he had stood by Ling Dong's side with all his might. He had earned a friendship for the Wood Puppet World in the future.
Because in Di Nankun's opinion, with the guidance and even the care of the Vermilion Bird Matriarch, how could Ling Dong's future be described as just bright? How could it be limited to the Wood Puppet World? At the very least, it would be with the Vermilion Bird Star Zone as the stage.
As for Huo Lin and the others, they were all stunned. It would be strange if they were not stunned by something that could shock an existence like Di Nankun to such an extent.
"Everyone is here. We'll set off for the Heavenly Dipper Secret Realm. Other than the thirty-six shortlisted martial artists and the Venerables leading the teams from the various Astral Realms, everyone else should leave immediately!" After a few breaths, the cold voice of the Minister of the Left in the sky brought everyone back to reality from their extreme shock.
