The sects that were training in the Saint Land did not know what was happening in the outside world, and the sects in the outside world did not know what was happening in the Saint Land.
However, there was one thing. The news that Niu Youdao had left the Saint Land and returned to the Purple Golden Cave had spread. It caused quite a commotion, but there were people who did not know about it.
Zhao Dengxuan pushed open the door to a secluded farmhouse with mud walls and entered. The small courtyard was quiet, and the vines of melons and vegetables in the corner were lush green.
Not seeing any movement, Zhao Dengxuan shouted, "Golden hoop, golden hoop …"
He shouted a few times, but no one responded. He ran into the house and shouted again. He went through every room, even the kitchen, but he did not see anyone.
Furthermore, the furnishings in the house were clearly for the use of common people, not for cultivators.
Zhao Dengxuan became vigilant and quickly came out. He saw the Staying Immortal Sect's Elder Wu Shaohuan, who had accompanied him to the courtyard.
The smile on Wu Shaohuan's face did not change even after losing an arm.
"Where is he?" Zhao Dengxuan stepped forward and said with a sullen face, "Elder Wu, didn't you say he was here? Where is he? I advise you not to play any tricks! "
It wasn't easy for him to come here. The distance between Xiao Yao Palace and this place was very far. He didn't have the qualifications to use the large flying beasts of Xiao Yao Palace at any time. It was also impossible for him to come here frequently. After all, he was a disciple of Xiao Yao Palace and he had his own duties to fulfill.
Wu Shaohuan's smile was a little strange. "Mr. Zhao, please wait a moment. He will be here soon. It won't take long."
Zhao Dengxuan took a deep breath. "Isn't it better to meet directly at the Staying Immortal Sect? Why did you lead me to this desolate farmhouse? "
Wu Shaohuan sighed, "It's better not to let too many people know about some things. We're doing this for Mr. Zhao's own good. You'll understand later."
Zhao Dengxuan frowned, puzzled. "What the hell are you doing?"
Not long after he finished speaking, footsteps could be heard from outside. Dong Jinhuan appeared outside the door, and the couple stared at each other.
Zhao Dengxuan noticed that Dong Jinhuan had changed a lot. Her whole body was slightly plump, and her skin seemed to be fairer and more tender. She looked less like a cultivator and more like a woman.
Seeing that his wife was fine, Zhao Dengxuan heaved a sigh of relief. Dong Jinhuan bit her lip and slowly walked into the courtyard.
"Mr. Zhao, you see, I wasn't wrong, right? Alright, absence makes the heart grow fonder. I won't disturb your lovey-dovey time any longer. " Wu Shaohuan stroked his beard with his single arm to show his respect. Then, he turned around and left. With a wave of his hand, a gust of wind blew and the courtyard door closed.
Now that there were no outsiders, Dong Jinhuan threw herself into Zhao Dengxuan's arms like a bird flying to its nest. She whispered, "Zhao Lang."
Zhao Dengxuan hugged her and kissed her neck. After a while, he slowly pushed her away and asked curiously, "Why do I feel that your sect is strange? Can't we meet in your sect? Why do we have to meet in this shabby place? "
A bitter expression appeared on Dong Jinhuan's face. "I've already left the sect for some time."
Zhao Dengxuan was surprised. "Leave the sect? Where did you go? "
Dong Jinhuan shook her head. "I don't know where I am either. I only know that I'm in a mountain, and the security is very tight."
"Guard?" Zhao Dengxuan's expression turned solemn. "What's going on?"
Dong Jinhuan looked around. "This is not the place to talk. Come in."
After holding Zhao Dengxuan's hand and entering the house, she closed the door tightly. Then, she quickly checked every corner of the house and even looked outside through the cracks in the window.
Her actions made Zhao Dengxuan anxious and bewildered. He walked to her side and put his hands on her shoulders. "Jinhuan, tell me. Did something happen?"
Dong Jinhuan wanted to say something but stopped. Finally, her eyes turned red and tears trickled down her cheeks silently.
Zhao Dengxuan was even more shocked. He shook her shoulders. "What happened? Tell me!"
Dong Jinhuan shook her head. She pulled his hand from her shoulder and slid it down to her chest.
When the flat skirt reached her abdomen, Zhao Dengxuan suddenly trembled. He slowly looked down and saw that Dong Jinhuan's abdomen had already bulged a lot. His palm stopped on her bulging abdomen.
Zhao Dengxuan's breathing quickened. He suddenly pulled his hand back as if he was bitten by a snake. He staggered a few steps back and said with a trembling voice, "You're pregnant?"
Dong Jinhuan nodded with tears in her eyes. "More than four months."
Zhao Dengxuan was a little confused. Wasn't it after the last time they met? After he came to his senses, he became a little anxious. "Jinhuan, are you crazy? Didn't I tell you before? Our current situation isn't suitable for us to have children. I don't know what's important. How am I going to explain this to the sect when I go back? Also, what if the children aren't suitable for cultivation in the future? Do you think we have the ability to protect them? It's not too late to have children when our status is higher and we have the ability to take care of them! "
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's my fault. It's all my fault …" Dong Jinhuan repeatedly apologized and shook her head.
Seeing her tear-stained face, Zhao Dengxuan's heart softened. He stepped forward and hugged her again. He sighed and said, "Forget it. Since I'm pregnant, let's face it together. At worst, I'll just be scolded by the sect. If I can't handle it, I won't think about the future. It's not bad to live a normal life."
He said it casually, but he felt helpless. In a sect, he was under someone else's control. How could he live a good life?
After he finished speaking, he pushed her away and pulled her hand. "Come, let's go find Fei Changliu. This time, no matter what, I must bring you back to Xiao Yao Palace."
Dong Jinhuan grabbed him and shook her head. She sobbed, "It's useless. The Sect Leader won't agree. He won't agree. I can't leave. If the child isn't born, I can't go anywhere. They're watching me very closely."
Zhao Dengxuan was quite shocked. "Jinhuan, what do you mean?"
Dong Jinhuan choked with sobs and said, "It's the sect's idea to have this child behind your back. They tried to persuade me many times before, but I listened to them. I thought that there was a huge gap between our statuses and that we were in different sects. Only a child could truly bind you. When I was really pregnant, they suddenly hid the news and secretly moved me to a place where they were closely watching me. They said that it would be easier for me to nurture the child. Then, after many things, I realized that something was wrong. It wasn't what they said at all. "
"Later on, I made a fuss and clamored to see you, hoping to let you know the good news. They refused. Later on, my teacher came and persuaded me to give up on this idea. If I wanted to be well, if I wanted the child to be well, then I would obediently obey the arrangement. Nothing would happen. Moreover, the sect would take good care of me and the child in the future. Teacher warned me not to make a fuss and that nothing could happen to the child in my belly. If something happened to the child, I wouldn't be able to live either! "
Zhao Dengxuan was shocked. "Why?"
Dong Jinhuan sobbed, "At that time, I also wanted to know why and asked teacher the same thing. Teacher was very helpless. He said that he couldn't do anything, and the sect couldn't do anything either. The sect also didn't want to do such a thing to its own disciples, but it had to obey. Teacher said that Daoye said that I chose my own path! "
"Niu Youdao?" Zhao Dengxuan cried out, "What does he want to do?"
Dong Jinhuan's face was full of tears. "Zhao Lang, don't you understand? I was wrong, I was really wrong. I deserve to die ten thousand times. In Heaven Capital Mystic Realm, I shouldn't have betrayed Daoye. This is my retribution. This is Daoye's punishment for me! He didn't let any of us off as punishment for you, me, and the child. He didn't even let our next generation off. My poor child … "She held her stomach and cried so hard that she didn't look like a human anymore.
Zhao Dengxuan's body swayed weakly. His eyes were bloodshot. "Niu Youdao, despicable and shameless villain!"
In the end, between the husband and wife, one couldn't stop crying while the other was speechless.
After a long time, Zhao Dengxuan came back to his senses. He looked around and said in a low voice, "Go, go quietly. Let's escape."
Dong Jinhuan shook her head. "Escape? Where can we escape to? Daoye is too frightening. His power is too great. He is an Elder of Purple Golden Cave. He holds the power in both the Immortal Cultivation World and the secular world. Even Xiao Yao Palace and Spirit Sword Mountain have to give in to Purple Golden Cave. Even if we escape to Xiao Yao Palace … Once I escape, I will become a real traitor of Keeping Immortal Sect. Once Purple Golden Cave puts pressure on me, can Xiao Yao Palace fight for me? Which sect would protect a worthless traitor like me? "
In her eyes, Niu Youdao was a terrifying existence that she couldn't even look up to.
Zhao Dengxuan said, "Don't worry. You and I are husband and wife. Jinhuan, listen to me. I won't give up on you. If worst comes to worst, we won't go back to Xiao Yao Palace. The world is so big. I don't believe we can't find a place to hide. "
Dong Jinhuan cried, "Zhao Lang, it's useless. My big belly is too conspicuous. Niu Youdao's power is too great. Once he launches his power to kill us, from the Immortal Cultivation World to the secular world, they will search for us everywhere. Even those strange demons and devils overseas are his people. Where can we hide? Can we hide forever? Even if we can hide, does our child have to hide with us forever? If you don't go back to Xiao Yao Palace, you will become a traitor of Xiao Yao Palace! Xiao Yao Palace won't let you go! "
Zhao Dengxuan said sorrowfully, "If Xiao Yao Palace can't even protect my wife and child, I …" There were some words that he didn't dare to say. "Jinhuan, listen to me. Things aren't as scary as you think. Niu Youdao has entered the Saint Realm and is training there. He won't be able to take care of us now!"
"…" Dong Jinhuan was startled. She had been secretly arranged by the Immortal Retaining Sect. She couldn't get in touch with the news of the outside world and didn't know many things.
Zhao Dengxuan had traveled a long way and didn't know what had happened in the Immortal Cultivation World. He didn't hear the news that Niu Youdao had returned from the Saint Realm.
"Let's not waste any more time. Let's go!" Zhao Dengxuan pulled her.
The two of them decided to escape. They crawled out of the kitchen window and headed deep into the mountain.
However, they hadn't run far when a large bird flew across the sky. A figure descended from the sky and blocked their way.
The person turned around expressionlessly. It was the Sect Leader of the Immortal Retaining Sect, Fei Changliu.
Dong Jinhuan trembled in fear. The disciples of the sect were terrified of the Sect Leader's authority.
Soon after, people surrounded the two of them. Dong Jinhuan's teacher appeared and said with grief and indignation, "Rebellious disciple, what are you trying to do? Do you really want to betray the sect? "
Fei Changliu said coldly, "The husband and wife came out for a stroll. It's not as serious as you said. However, it's true that it's not safe in the wilderness. Let's not run around. "
In the end, the husband and wife could only surrender. Zhao Dengxuan couldn't break out of the encirclement with a pregnant woman.
After they were taken away, Wu Shaohuan moved to Fei Changliu's side and said, "Sect Leader, Daoye is really capable. He can even come out of a place like the Saint Realm so easily. Why don't we use this as an excuse to pay him a visit? There's no harm in getting to know him better."
Fei Changliu nodded and said, "This Daoye of ours is indeed not an ordinary person. The Immortal Retaining Sect had no choice but to take the right path. Let's get ready. We'll do as he says, and it's time to let him know. "
"Yes!" Wu Shaohuan replied with a smile.
