Chapter 455 Leaving the Dan Realm

"With such makeup, he should be one of the eight elders of the Dan Pagoda."

When Xiao Ling saw this scene, his eyebrows raised slightly and he couldn't help but whisper to himself.

"This is Elder Xu. He has been serving as the eighth elder of the Dan Pagoda for decades. He is a well-known veteran eighth-level alchemist." Hearing Xiao Ling's whisper, Cao Ying next to her opened her red lips lightly, Solve his doubts gently.

Xiao Ling just nodded lightly and didn't care. This old man didn't have much to do with him.

Elder Xu's figure gradually appeared, and his eyes immediately glanced in the direction of Xiao Ling and others. It was obvious that he had learned about this urgent discussion in advance.

When Cao Ying and Dan Chen saw this, they both leaned slightly to pay respect to the elder. Xiao Ling, on the other hand, seemed calm and calm, just nodded calmly to show politeness.

As for Xiong Zhan and Zi Yan, they seemed not to notice, turning a blind eye to the elder's existence and doing their own things.

Elder Xu did not show any concern for the different reactions of several people. He just smiled gently in their direction and nodded gently in greeting.

Immediately afterwards, his figure swayed slightly, as if crossing an invisible boundary, and in an instant, he appeared not far in front of everyone.

"Previously, I have learned from the deacon that there are important things to discuss here. So, there is no need to be polite to you. Since there are urgent matters that need to be reported to President Xuankong, please go with me."

As soon as Elder Xu approached the crowd, he spoke directly and without any hesitation.

"Haha, it's just a trivial matter. It's nothing to worry about. Not long after the Alchemy Realm opened, we heard about something unexpected. This is quite rare. I wonder if you can briefly describe it so that I can have some idea?" Elder Xu smiled heartily. He waved his hands gently, seeming to regard all this as insignificant. "Of course, if it's inconvenient to say it clearly, I won't force it."

As he spoke, he calmly took out an exquisite token from his wide cuffs, lightly traced it with his fingers, and then began to slowly inject a burst of fighting energy.

As the fighting spirit continued to flow in, a dazzling light suddenly erupted from the token, shooting straight into the sky and accurately shining into the void not far ahead.

The light beam gradually spread, forming a silvery space passage, like a mysterious portal to another world.

"Some emergencies did occur. During this alchemy meeting, we found some people with ulterior motives mixed in. Fortunately, the consequences were not too serious. Only some examiners died in the chaos."

Cao Ying nodded slightly and narrated in a calm tone. However, she only mentioned the matter lightly and did not go into details about the more sensitive key details.

"Are many examiners killed or injured? Alas, the death of these alchemists is also a big loss for Danta..." Elder Xu sighed softly and did not continue to ask.

In the assessment in the alchemy world, every time an assessor loses his life in the fierce competition, or is killed by a high-level monster, or encounters a plot by the same assessor.

There are countless tragedies like this. However, the rules of assessment in the alchemy realm remain unchanged, so such a situation is unavoidable.

"Everyone, please follow me. This space passage leads directly to the inside of the Dan Pagoda. If we appear directly in the square of the third round of assessment, I am afraid that those who come to watch the ceremony will mistakenly think that our Dan Pagoda has destroyed the established plan on its own. rule."

Elder Xu smiled softly, his voice was calm and easy-going, and as he finished speaking, he motioned for Xiao Ling and others to follow them, and they walked together towards the silvery space passage, and he was the first to step into it.

Xiao Ling and others witnessed Elder Xu's actions, exchanged glances with each other, and nodded tacitly.

Then, they hurriedly picked up their pace, followed Elder Xu, and stepped into the space passage with a silver halo.

As Xiao Ling and others completely disappeared into the space passage, the space door rotated gently in the void for a few weeks, and then closed quietly, as if it had never been opened here.

…

In a magnificent hall of the Alchemy Pagoda, subtle fluctuations suddenly appeared in the void, like ripples on the water blown by the breeze.

Immediately afterwards, Elder Xu's slightly curved old figure stepped out of the door of space first.

Afterwards, Xiao Ling and his party also walked out of the flickering light curtain one by one. Their figures gradually became clearly visible in the hall, and finally landed steadily on the floor.

"My friends, please wait here for a moment. I will go and inform President Xuankong about the important matters related to this trip." Elder Xu looked around and confirmed that everyone had gathered, then he smiled gently and nodded slightly in greeting. .

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure swayed slightly and floated away like a broken leaf in the wind. In an instant, his figure disappeared on the spot, leaving only a faint trace that slowly dissipated in the air.

As Elder Xu left, everyone's posture became much more relaxed.

Returning to the embrace of the Alchemy Pagoda, the remaining worries in Cao Ying and Dan Chen's hearts due to their previous journey to the Alchemy Realm gradually dissipated, replaced by a warm sense of belonging, as if they had returned to their long-lost homeland, with that familiarity and peace in their hearts. Slowly spread.

"Haha, I finally got rid of that ghost place in the Alchemy Realm. The air here is refreshing when you breathe in it. It's not like the wild and wanton energy in the Alchemy Realm, which always makes people feel inexplicably upset."

Xiong Zhan looked around, joy surging in his heart, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and the uncontrollable smile seemed to overflow from every pore of his.

Among this group of people, the most excited person is Xiong Zhan. He spent countless spring and autumn in the depths of the alchemy world, and even he himself had difficulty remembering those passing years.

As the overlord of the Ten Thousand Medicine Mountains, his life in the alchemy world is undoubtedly comfortable and free, and rare medicinal materials are just daily snacks for him.

However, as time went by, that kind of life gradually became monotonous and boring, and his heart was already filled with boredom.

Now, he finally got out of the shackles of the alchemy world and plunged into this vast world. This feeling seemed to have made him undergo a baptism, just like being reborn.

"Haha, brother Xiong Zhan, congratulations to you. In this vast continent of Dou Qi, with your current level of cultivation, as long as you don't take the initiative to cause trouble, there is nowhere in the world that you can't go to?" Xiao Ling smiled and said in a tone of voice. Said lightly.

"Haha, all this is thanks to the great help of Brother Xiao Ling and Miss Zi Yan. If it weren't for you, I might not have had such a chance to escape from the alchemy world." Xiong Zhan laughed loudly, rubbing his hands and saying with gratitude Looking at Xiao Ling and Zi Yan, he said.

Xiong Zhan paused for a moment, then changed the topic slightly and asked: "Brother Xiao Ling, do you have any good places to recommend? Now that I am alone, my understanding of this Dou Qi Continent is quite limited. If you can Joining a force is not a bad choice.”

During the conversation, Xiong Zhan's eyes glanced at Xiao Ling and Zi Yan from time to time, and his subtle eyes revealed his desire to follow them closely. Xiao Ling naturally belongs to his power, and Zi Yan is from the powerful Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

However, Xiong Zhan currently does not understand Zi Yan's status in the clan. He wonders if he can use her power to allow an ancient dragon bear like him to join the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

Even if he can join, he may not be taken seriously in the clan due to his own bloodline. Therefore, he currently does not particularly want to join the ranks of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

On the contrary, Xiong Zhan seemed quite enthusiastic about joining Xiao Ling, an alchemist with unlimited potential. He had an inexplicable premonition in his heart. If he could follow Xiao Ling, his future might not be limited to the eighth level.

Xiao Ling was naturally aware of Xiong Zhan's little thought. He didn't beat around the bush and responded straight to the point.

"Brother Xiong Zhan, with your current strength, no matter which force you join, you will definitely be treated as a distinguished guest. If you are interested, my Xingyun Pavilion welcomes you to join and serve as an elder."

"You only need to protect the safety of Xingyun Pavilion at critical moments. You don't need to worry about other matters. And we will not hesitate to provide the best cultivation resources as an offering to you, how about it."

Xiao Ling thought about it and thought that it would be far more appropriate to let Xiong Zhan return to Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan with Zi Yan than to take him back to Xingyun Pavilion.

Within the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, it is really not surprising that Xiong Zhan is only at the eighth level of strength.

Moreover, in the world of Warcraft, the purity of bloodline is extremely important, and this situation is even more obvious for a noble Warcraft bloodline like the Taixu Ancient Dragon.

If Xiong Zhan is really allowed to go to Dragon Island, any seventh-level Taixu ancient dragon will casually release a trace of blood aura, which can completely make an eighth-level strongman like Xiong Zhan feel trembled and frightened. This situation is really too frustrating.

Instead of staying uncomfortably on Gulong Island as Xiao Ling imagined, it would be better for Xiong Zhan to come to Xingyun Pavilion and be a free man, which would make him more carefree, happy, and comfortable.

"Haha, since Brother Xiao Ling personally invited me, what should I have to hesitate? From this moment on, I, Xiong Zhan, will be a member of Xingyun Pavilion!" Xiong Zhan laughed loudly, his face filled with joy With a magnanimous and sincere smile.

"I'll give you more advice from now on, Elder Xiong Zhan." Xiao Ling smiled slightly and said in an easy-going tone.

After a while, with a soft "creak" sound, the closed door slowly opened, and a white-haired old man in gorgeous robes slowly stepped into the hall.

His steps were steady, and his eyes showed the accumulation of years, but he was still smart.

The old man who stepped into the hall was none other than Xuan Kongzi, one of the three giants of Dan Pagoda who hurried over after learning the news.

The moment Xuan Kongzi stepped into the hall, he instantly became the center of attention. Everyone's attention was focused on him, and their eyes were directed towards the giant of Danta.

Xuan Kongzi was about to speak, but before the words came out of his mouth, Cao Ying hurried to him.

"Master, Ying'er almost couldn't see you today. I'm really scared." Cao Ying gently rubbed her eyes, her eyes shining with lingering fear, and her voice trembled slightly.

I don’t know if this appearance is just an act, or if it’s a genuine expression of true feelings.

Cao Ying's actions made Xuan Kongzi immediately forget what he was going to say.

He frowned slightly, concern evident in his words, and immediately asked: "Ying'er, what happened? Please tell me slowly and tell me the details."

Cao Ying gently wiped away a few crystal tears that fell from the corners of her eyes, and sobbed slightly. After stabilizing her emotions, she slowly opened her mouth and recounted her experiences in the alchemy world.

She described in detail how she gathered people to go to the Wanyao Mountains in the Alchemy Realm. On the way, she was unexpectedly attacked by four elders from the Soul Palace, and at that critical moment, Xiao Ling appeared like a divine soldier from heaven to turn the tide.

In her words, every detail was described vividly, as if the thrilling scene was re-presented in front of everyone.

As soon as Cao Ying finished speaking, Xuan Kongzi's expression suddenly turned gloomy, like a sky covered with dark clouds. His fists were clenched unconsciously, and his knuckles turned white from exertion.

Suppressing the boiling anger in his heart, his voice had an imperceptible tremor: "What a Soul Palace, how dare you openly attack the alchemists of my Alchemy Pagoda, leading to the death of a large number of Alchemy Realm examiners. It is simply arrogant."

"Since it was the Soul Palace that trampled the rules first, don't blame me for being ruthless and showing no mercy." Xuan Kongzi's voice was as cold as iron, and a cold light of determination flashed in his eyes. "Ying'er, my master, I will go to the Alchemy Realm in person immediately and execute those thieves in the Soul Palace on the spot to wash away this shame for you."

As soon as his words fell, the chilling air seemed to have filled the entire space. It seemed that as soon as his words fell, Xuan Kongzi would rush straight into the alchemy world and start killing.

"President Xuankong, you don't have to go to the Alchemy Realm in person." Xiao Ling approached slowly and stopped beside Xuankongzi. His voice was calm and easy-going, as if everything was under control.

"In order to prevent their whereabouts from being exposed and triggering retaliation from the Dan Pagoda, those people from the Soul Palace have already evacuated the Dan Realm through special channels. In my opinion, there is probably no trace of the Soul Palace people in the Dan World now. Even if There are still remnants, but they are just the guardians of the Soul Palace, and there is no way that senior-level figures will still be in the alchemy world at this time."

Hearing the sound, Xuan Kongzi slowly turned his head and looked at the source of the sound. When he saw that it was Xiao Ling who was speaking, the anger on his face immediately melted like ice and snow, turning into a warm smile. He said gently,

"Haha, little friend Xiao Ling, thanks to your previous act of righteousness, otherwise our Danta might have suffered immeasurable losses this time, and Ying'er might also be in danger and in a worrying situation."

"President Xuankong's words are serious. Miss Cao Ying and I are brothers and sisters. When we saw her in danger, we naturally stepped forward without hesitation." Xiao Ling waved her hand gently, her tone was indifferent, but she revealed a An unquestionable determination.

"Haha, this couldn't be better. Young people should communicate more and learn from each other." After Xuan Kongzi heard Xiao Ling's words, the smile on his face became brighter. His eyes wandered between Xiao Ling and Cao Ying, and his eyes seemed to be Looking at an ideal husband-in-law, he is full of praise and appreciation.

When Cao Ying saw that her master Xuan Kongzi, who was always calm and indifferent on weekdays, now showed such a demeanor because of such a trivial matter, she couldn't help but be stunned, and a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.

However, when she turned to look at Xiao Ling, the light in her eyes was filled with undisguised admiration.

After casually mentioning this topic, Xuan Kongzi refocused his attention on the important matter in front of him.

He frowned slightly and asked with a hint of confusion: "Little friend Xiao Ling, is what you said before true? If the people in the Soul Palace really left the Dan Realm through some kind of space secret technique, then the fluctuations caused would be at least It must be someone at the peak of Dou Zun who can cause such a big movement. It stands to reason that it would never go silent under my deliberate supervision."

I witnessed this with my own eyes, and there was absolutely no mistake. The four elders of the Soul Palace had indeed evacuated from the Dan Realm. "Xiao Ling nodded lightly, with a firm tone and a calm expression, as if he was describing a common fact.

His face was calm and his heartbeat was steady. Even if he was talking nonsense now, he seemed very calm and calm. "As for what methods they used, I don't know. Due to the emergency situation at the time, I had no time to delve into the details."

Since the elders of the Soul Palace have been buried in the hands of Xiao Ling, then Xiao Ling naturally made up what happened. What did he say? What is the situation? Everyone is dead, and the Danta still wants to investigate. What's wrong with it?

"Since it was Xiao Ling who witnessed it with your own eyes, and after the incident was exposed, those in the Soul Palace really have no reason to stay in the Dan Realm. Perhaps they used some kind of secret method to prevent me from noticing their whereabouts." Xuan Kongzi He frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

However, Xuan Kongzi still had some concerns in his heart, and he decided to send several elders from the Dan Pagoda to the Dan Realm for in-depth investigation soon. If everything goes well, this is naturally the most ideal result; if anything unexpected happens, measures can be taken in time to nip it in the bud.

"Perhaps it is just like what President Xuankong said. The Soul Palace has many tricks, and it is inevitable that there will be some that we cannot detect." Xiao Ling nodded lightly, and then said, "President Xuankong, at this time, the distance between Dan and There will still be some time before the final competition, but we have already left the Dan Realm, so we shouldn’t have to go back to the Dan Realm to wait, right?”

"Haha, since you have evacuated from the Dan Realm, I naturally will not let you go back and wait in vain. The medicinal materials required for your assessment have been handed over to the deacons of the Dan Pagoda in the Dan Realm, which means that your assessment has been completed. Counted as passed.”

Xuan Kongzi smiled gently and continued,

"There are many vacant residences in Danta. If little Xiao Ling needs it, you can move in at any time."

"President Xuankong is too polite. In fact, I already have a place to stay in Shengdan City, so I won't bother President Xuankong to make other arrangements."

Xiao Ling politely declined Xuan Kongzi's kindness.

Afterwards, he said goodbye to Cao Ying and Dan Chen respectively, and then walked out of the palace with Zi Yan and Xiong Zhan in the reluctant eyes of the two women.

Looking at Xiao Ling's leaving figure, Xuan Kongzi turned his eyes to Cao Ying and Dan Chen, and felt a little helpless when he saw the two of them like this.

Originally, he was quite happy to think that the relationship between his apprentice and Xiao Ling could develop. But now it seems that the little girl of the Dan family seems to have a different idea about Xiao Ling, which made him laugh for a while.

"This Xiao Ling, the degree of popularity among women is just like Yao Chen back then, and even better..."
