Chapter 1335: Chapter 1335: Leaving the Secret Realm
Tan Shaoting also noticed that the three children were exhausted, so he immediately released a Fourth Rank Defensive Array, and Qi Yan and the other two quickly went inside.
"Mr. Tan," Nangong Xingyun called out.
"Anyone who can’t hold up can enter the array."
Gradually, more than ten people went inside, leaving only the couple and Nangong Xingyun with his four followers outside.
The Thunder Tiger was now also barely holding on, leading the retreat with a roar.
Su Yuanyuan felt the fight was bewildering, wondering if Nangong Liuyun and the others had snatched someone’s belongings.
Nangong Xingyun now genuinely admired Su Yuanyuan; he and Tan Shaoting were both Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, while Su Yuanyuan was still at the Early-stage Foundation Establishment but managed to hold out till the end.
He quickly gathered all the Thunder Tiger corpses on the ground.
The seven of them also entered the array. They sat in the corner as a family.
The couple each held a Mid-grade Spirit Stone in their hand to recover.
Nangong Xingyun saw their family’s actions and stopped his attempt to take elixirs, choosing instead to recover his spiritual power with a spirit stone.
By the time night fell, everyone had recovered, and Nangong Xingyun suggested they rest here.
Everyone naturally agreed. Su Yuanyuan took a pot out of her Storage Bag and started cooking porridge; today’s battle was indeed high-intensity, and she couldn’t care less about what others thought—a family needs to eat.
The other team members watched them and thought about the Fasting Pill they had just consumed, finding it rather bland.
The family each had a bowl of spirit rice porridge. After eating, they sat and cultivated quietly.
Nangong Xingyun felt old, constantly sighing in his heart.
At dawn, Tan Shaoting packed up the Array Plate, and the group continued forward.
After yesterday’s battle, the group was much more cautious.
There were an abundance of spirit plants along the way, so Nangong Xingyun and four other high-cultivation cultivators took charge of security while the remaining fifteen collected resources.
Qi Hong wasn’t stingy. When asked about the spirit plants, he readily shared his knowledge.
The whole day passed without danger, which was quite unusual.
At night, Nangong Xingyun laid down a Fourth Order Array Plate, and all the cultivators rested inside.
Su Yuanyuan whispered to Tan Shaoting, feeling they were dragged into this because of Nangong Liuyun and his group.
Actually, everyone thought so; they just didn’t voice it out.
Su Yuanyuan had a habit of sleeping at night, so Tan Shaoting held her, allowing her to lean in his arms.
Su Yuanyuan was quite unaccustomed to this. "Tomorrow we’ll set up our own array plate. You get some sleep first tonight."
Tan Shaoting hurriedly comforted his wife; he also wanted to venture out now, but in a team, that wouldn’t be good. Saying this today makes it logical for the family to be on their own tomorrow.
His wide sleeves shielded his wife, and the three children sat beside their mother.
In the middle of the night, Su Yuanyuan woke up, and the couple then sat to cultivate.
At dawn, the group emerged, continuing their journey. The deeper they ventured into the mountains, the more spirit plants they found.
Nangong Xingyun and Tan Shaoting were in charge of safety.
"Mr. Tan, what do you think this secret realm was originally used for? Despite the presence of demon beasts, it doesn’t seem as dangerous as those secret realms I’ve participated in before."
"Nangong, we’ve seldom joined secret realms, so we’ve yet to notice any differences."
With this, Nangong Xingyun said no more, pondering on how difficult it is for loose cultivators, who probably don’t even have opportunities to enter secret realms.
However, how did this family cultivate? Certainly not like ordinary loose cultivators; otherwise, they couldn’t be so young with such cultivation.
Encountering Thunder Tiger again, this time the demon beasts retreated.
Su Yuanyuan asked Chen Xue Man, "Senior, are you protecting them?"
"Yes, I don’t want Thunder Tigers to go extinct."
"Senior, if you don’t want to, you can control them to leave."
"Is it suitable?"
"Why not? There is no inheritance here, and the yield is already substantial, they can be let go."
"Alright, be cautious, I will cast the spell now."
Su Yuanyuan quickly transmitted information to her family, and they were all prepared.
In just a few breaths, everyone was thrown out of the secret realm like dumplings. Naturally, those who died inside were left behind.
Everyone was bewildered; what happened?
Most people suspected that someone had activated something or perhaps acquired the inheritance, causing the secret realm to close.
Tan Shaoting’s family stood among the crowd, unrelated to these matters.
The ten Nascent Soul cultivators outside were also momentarily stunned, immediately calling the leaders to figure things out. Everyone was bewildered, unable to explain anything, eventually deciding to head ashore.
The leading Nascent Soul cultivator observed his group, noticing that only Nangong Xingyun’s team suffered no losses.
Now wasn’t the time to discuss these matters. The Great Powers decided to return to Future City.
This new secret realm contained many unknowns.
The Flying Boat still docked at the City Lord Mansion. Tan Shaoting’s family disembarked, informing Nangong Xingyun of their departure.
"Mr. Tan, if anything comes up, I’ll get in touch."
Tan Shaoting nodded; since the loot was still with Nangong Xingyun, they would surely meet again.
The family returned to their small courtyard, having been away for over two months.
Xiao Ho saw them and politely greeted them before returning to her room, knowing not to disturb them.
The family entered the house, where Tan Shaoting set down a Fifth-tier Array before they entered the space.
It had been a long time since they’d seen Qi Hao and Qi Xuan. Su Yuanyuan cuddled both sons, noticing they had grown taller.
In the space, the family was joyful and harmonious, planning to visit the Mortal World tomorrow so that Qi Hao and Qi Xuan could also enjoy the outdoors.
Qi Wen wanted to join them, leaving her two brothers behind.
The family ate their fill before Su Yuanyuan shared the experience of meeting Chen Xue Man, though she omitted her own experiences.
Su Yuanyuan took out all of Chen Xue Man’s jade scrolls and books, deciding to make copies regardless of their usefulness, as who knows if they’d come in handy later?
After a busy night, Su Yuanyuan deemed the jade scrolls the greatest gain from this secret realm. She handed the Jade Box Qi Yan gave her to her son.
"Mom, my space has already been opened; I’ll toss this bead into the Thunder Pool now."
Su Yuanyuan nodded; this was good. At least the family was watching, though if anything dangerous occurred, they might not be able to help.
This time, Qi Yan’s space didn’t shake or close, assuring the family.
The next day, the family of three left the city. They had actually been under surveillance since returning.
