Chapter 411: Return of the Remnant Soul

"Sister!"

"Hanyan, Dad, Mom!"

Border of Lingzhou, Yipin City.

Lu Qingqiu was looking around helplessly, when suddenly she heard a shout from afar, turned her head and saw the pale-faced Lu Hanyan, as well as her embarrassed parents, and hot tears instantly surged in her eyes.

After the Remnant Race revived, the three northern states were directly occupied, and all humans fled to the south in panic and fear, so that a small city was already crowded.

Lu Qingqiu tried her best to squeeze through the crowd and saw the relatives she had been thinking about for a long time, and was choked with sobs for a while.

She was a disciple of the Management Institute, and was in the Holy Land of the Sages when the incident happened, and also retreated with the main force.

And her younger sister was practicing in the Holy Land of the Sages, and her parents were staying in Shengjing, so she had been worrying about them all the way.

Only when she saw her relatives again did she finally have a feeling of surviving a disaster.

And here, she not only saw her parents, sister, and clansmen, but also saw the long-unseen Princess Changle, and countless children of noble families.

Princess Changle was also equally embarrassed. Seeing Lu Qingqiu looking over, she couldn't help but glance at her.

Lu Qingqiu didn't talk to her, but looked at her sister and asked with some questions: "How did you escape?"

"It was Abbot You who used the Heavenly Book to cover our retreat in Shengjing, and the two Hall Masters opened the way in front, so we were able to escape, but many senior brothers and sisters also died, Cong Yi also died..."

Lu Hanyan said with a pale face, with sadness on her face.

Cong Yi was the daughter of the Prefect of Guiyun County, a disciple of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan from Fengzhou. Because of Lu Hanyan's feelings for Ji You, her relationship with these Fengzhou disciples had always been quite good, so she was naturally sad because of their deaths.

Lu Qingqiu pursed her lips after hearing this: "It's about the same on my side, Zhongzhou is too close to the Holy Land of the Sages, only three people from the He family escaped, and the Sheng family, Fang family, Guo family of Qingzhou, and Tao family have all failed to escape."

"The Remnant Race... why did they suddenly revive? Didn't they die in ancient times?"

"It should be related to the Holy Land of the Sages, and possibly even related to those ruins."

Lu Qingqiu answered lightly, her eyes solemn.

Throughout this journey, she had heard countless discussions, plus the anomalies that occurred in the Holy Land of the Sages, so she could naturally understand that there might be a connection.

Lu Hanyan understood half of it, but didn't delve into it, but kept shifting her gaze, looking around.

She soon saw the group from the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan heading to the Holy Land, but after searching, she didn't find Wen Zhengxin, and didn't even see Cao Jingsong and Ban Yangshu, and her expression turned pale again.

"Where is Sister Zhengxin, and... where are Instructor Cao and the others?"

"They are fine, they are just still on the southern border of Liangzhou and haven't returned."

"Why don't they return?"

"Spirit Sword Mountain's Little Appraisal Master is missing..."

As time passed, the number of people in the city became more and more, and the news of parting deaths continued to spread.

One moment it was said that this family was gone, the next it was said that that family was gone, plus the wailing and crying that could be seen everywhere, it made people even more unable to hold on.

Spring of the seventh year of Taiyuan, the Remnant Race revived, and the Human Race was defeated.

At the same time, in a courtyard on the west side of Yipin City.

You Yingqiu, Lu Fengchuan, Fei She, Zuo Qiuyang, and Chai Hu, who had returned from Shengjing, met and were discussing with solemn expressions, and the expressions on their faces had not relaxed for a long time.

"There are... two Heavenly Daos?"

"Not bad, after I practiced the Heavenly Mechanism Technique to perfection and opened my eyes, what I saw were two Heavenly Daos, one weak as if dying, the other wild and swaying like a black night."

You Yingqiu said and looked up at the sky: "Ancient scrolls record that back then the Remnant Race Holy Emperor tried to refine the Heavenly Dao, causing the heavens to be furious and sending down Sacred Artifacts, but I think things are not that simple. The Remnant Race Holy Emperor should have succeeded, and the one who sent down the Sacred Artifacts was the new Heavenly Dao, and... I felt the aura of Master in the new Heavenly Dao."

Zuo Qiuyang opened his eyes wide: "Master didn't ascend?!"

"The new Heavenly Dao is dying, so I think Master should have been continuing the life of the heavens all along. When the thousand-year noble families joined forces to cause disaster, it was the last time. He mended the heavens alone, so there was no immortal light to receive him..."

"How could this be?"

Zuo Qiuyang's face was pale, and he couldn't help but mutter.

He had always thought that Master had become an immortal and left, and never thought that he was sacrificing his life to protect the heavens. His first thought was disbelief.

But soon, he thought of the moment after Master ascended, when the river water in the world dried up and the earth shook, and he couldn't help but clench his fists.

For so many years, everyone felt that the Abbot of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan was an irresponsible character, who didn't care about sect affairs or his disciples.

His five direct disciples, including You Yingqiu, had all had endless resentment towards him, but never thought that Master had always been protecting Qingyun in his own way.

After a long silence, Lu Fengchuan couldn't help but speak: "Since the ancient Heavenly Dao has been refined by the Remnant Race, why did it return to the heavens?"

"The Heavenly Mechanism Technique cultivates commonality with the Heavenly Dao. The moment the Heavenly Mechanism Technique was completed, I gained the perspective of the Heavenly Dao, and what I felt the moment I opened my eyes was the evil thought of the Remnant Race Heavenly Dao full of desire to swallow."

"Sister's meaning, could it be that it wants to eat the new Heavenly Dao." Zuo Qiuyang couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

You Yingqiu nodded: "Not bad, I think the Heavenly Dao refined by the Remnant Race Holy Emperor back then should have been incomplete, so he needs the new Heavenly Dao to supplement it and re-refine it."

Chai Hu's eyelids trembled wildly: "What will happen then?"

"The Remnant Race Holy Emperor will become the strongest Heavenly Dao, an existence that is eternal and indestructible, and whose words become law."

"We still have Sacred Artifacts, is there no chance at all?"

Before You Yingqiu could speak, Zuo Qiuyang looked at Chai Hu: "The Sacred Artifacts are incomplete. The one in the Xuanyuan Immortal Mansion still has no wielder, and there is also the Spirit Appraisal..."

You Yingqiu raised her head upon hearing this: "Isn't the Spirit Appraisal in the hands of the Little Appraisal Master?"

"The Little Appraisal Master stayed behind for the disciples in the Holy Land of the Sages, and never came out again."

"I heard that she had already traveled in the spirit before going to the Holy Land of the Sages, and with the Sacred Artifact on her, there shouldn't be any danger."

"But she is pregnant," Zuo Qiuyang looked at his junior sister, "It was Cao Jingsong who said it, Spirit Sword Mountain's Little Appraisal Master is nine months pregnant, and her body has always been very weak."

After hearing this, You Yingqiu's mouth twitched a few times: "This guy Ji You is really amazing, actually being able to make the Little Appraisal Master willing to give birth to a child for him..."

Just at this time, footsteps came from outside the door.

Qin Rong stepped into the residence: "Hall Master Zuoqiu, Elder Cao is back."

"Back?"

"Yes, in addition, Spirit Sword Mountain's Little Appraisal Master has also returned to the mountain."

On the Flying Immortal Platform of Spirit Sword Mountain, countless Spirit Sword Mountain disciples were gathered together, looking up at the fairy-like figure falling into Xuanjian Peak.

Since the returning disciples claimed that the Appraisal Master was missing, they had been uneasy, including the disciples of Tianjian Peak, after all, the disappearance of the Appraisal Master meant that they had lost the Spirit Appraisal.

Now that the Remnant Race has revived, without the protection of the Sacred Artifact, their final outcome can only be to become blood food.

So when they saw the Appraisal Master return to the mountain, the heart that had been hanging finally let go.

But although she returned, there were still questions in the hearts of these disciples.

Their own Appraisal Master had clearly stepped into the Spirit Travel Realm and had the Sacred Artifact on her, why was the trip to the Holy Land of the Sages so dangerous.

And the same question also appeared in the hearts of Yan Jingxiang, the Peak Master of Xuanjian Peak, his wife, and countless people of the main line of Xuanjian Peak.

At this moment, they all felt the aura of the Little Appraisal Master, so they rose into the air and came to the Yunding Tianque.

And when Yan Jingxiang just landed, his eyes couldn't help but freeze.

Because his own daughter was in front of the palace gate, pale-faced, holding a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes in her arms, as for the others, they were all stunned.

Including Abbot Yan Zhong who heard the news, and Yan Tai, the Peak Master of Tianjian Peak.

They never thought that their high and mighty Appraisal Master would one day stand in front of them in such a posture.

"You..."

"Call her Ji Si."

Yan Shuyi looked at her father: "It's a girl, call her Ji Si."

There is no noble family surnamed Ji in Qingyun, so there are very few people surnamed Ji, but everyone knows that there was once a person who did not respect the noble families surnamed Ji, and his affair with Spirit Sword Mountain's Little Appraisal Master had also triggered a long period of discussion.

Now that the Little Appraisal Master is holding a baby girl and saying her name is Ji Si, the meaning is self-evident.

Spirit Sword Mountain's Little Appraisal Master has a daughter, the child of her and Ji You.

When Yan Jingxiang heard this, the palm in his sleeve couldn't help but tremble.

Last autumn, because that guy surnamed Ji died while charging the realm, Yan Jingxiang was truly relieved at that time.

His daughter's personality had always been stubborn, and no one could change what she had decided, but the fact that Ji You died was something his daughter couldn't change either.

Spirit Sword Mountain needs inheritance, and his daughter needs to continue her bloodline, so he thought everything would return to the right track, and even thought about having a long talk with his daughter when she returned.

But what puzzled him was that after his daughter returned, she didn't see anyone, immediately started closed-door cultivation, and announced to the outside world that she was going to attack the Spirit Travel Realm.

Yan Jingxiang didn't notice the problem at the time, and was even a little happy.

Because Ji You had just died and his daughter shifted her energy back, continuing to charge the realm without seeing any sadness, so in his view, the relationship between his daughter and that wild private practitioner wasn't that deep.

But only until this moment did he know that his daughter had been in closed-door cultivation for half a year to protect the fetus.

As for whether the two were deep or not, he didn't know, but he knew that his daughter had no sadness and had never talked to anyone about this, but silently gave birth to a daughter for him.

The most critical thing is that his daughter told everyone in front of Tianjian Peak that her daughter's surname is Ji.

"Ji Si, interesting..."
