Chapter 110 Making a move on him

Kong Hao: "You woman, you have quite the nerve. You think you can keep us here?"

Yun Fuzhao held up a finger and waved it, "No, I never said I wanted to keep you. I only want your Holy Son."

Kong Hao's cheeks flushed red instantly. "You crazy woman!"

She wasn't just saying it casually. Since taking the merman away would offend the Palace of Rebirth, she might as well offend them completely. After all, she didn't need another enemy.

Gong Yuhe could tell she wasn't joking; even he himself couldn't guarantee he could defeat these three. Especially since the other two were from the Demon Realm and the Monster Realm.

The Hall of Rebirth has always maintained a policy of not having any connection with the outside world.

After careful consideration, Gong Yuhe said, "We will not take this merman away."

"Is that all? Who knows if you'll go back and lead a large group to attack our sect?"

"Don't worry." Gong Yuhe raised his hand and made a blood oath.

Yun Fuzhao was finally satisfied. "Look at the mess this has made. We were all family, but we had to make things so tense."

Gong Yuhe: "..."

"By the way, I still don't know what the Holy Son's name is."

“I advise you, woman, to give up on that idea,” Kong Hao sneered. “Don’t even think about our Holy Son.”

"Huh? Me?" Yun Fuzhao pointed to himself. "I just wanted to ask for my name."

"Hmph, your intentions are crystal clear. I knew it all along..."

"Gong Yuhe".

After saying that, he put away the Immortal Binding Chain and left with Kong Hao.

"How extravagant! They can use a teleportation array that costs several hundred spirit stones so easily."

Yun Fuzhao clicked his tongue in admiration.

"Why did you do this?" The merman couldn't understand. Even she, an outsider, knew what kind of existence the Hall of Rebirth was. How dare her small sect challenge them?

"Don't worry, of course I'm not that kind of person." Yun Fuzhao decided to make things clear to her. "I did this because I value your abilities. And I didn't save you for nothing; I want you to become our sect's guardian beast."

The merman wanted to say something, but before he could speak, Yun Fuzhao interrupted him, "Alright. We've been here too long, it's time to leave."

The merman gave her a deep look, but ultimately said nothing more.

With her help, the three of them quickly made it out of the tenth place.

On the way back to the Boundless Sword Sect, Yun Fuzhao asked about everything he wanted to know.

It turns out this merman was from the South China Sea Merfolk, and her name was Lan. She was the fifth daughter of the Merfolk chieftain.

At that time, she fell in love with Nan Jing and wanted to gain her father's approval, but since ancient times, merfolk have not intermarried, and her actions undoubtedly angered a group of merfolk.

Lan was head over heels in love at the time, and in a moment of impulsiveness, she severed ties with her family and resolutely followed Nan Jing to the mainland.

Her subsequent situation was a re-enactment of Yun Fuzhao's dream. According to her, Lan only created this dream for women who entered the Tenth Division.

She was driven mad by Nan Jing and wanted to see what other women would choose in that situation.

She said that one or two of them would fall into Nan Jing's arms and be turned into human puppets by him. Of course, there were also those who fought back desperately, and if they succeeded, Lan would release them.

All the cultivators who entered the Tenth Direction never returned, except for the women who passed her test.

"Looking back now, I was too soft-hearted," Lan said with a self-deprecating laugh. "The first thing that disciple from the Hall of Rebirth did after passing the test was to go back and get reinforcements."

Yun Fuzhao roughly understood the cause and effect. She felt sorry for Lan's experience.

"Then what about the scar on your face?" According to her description, Nan Jing was killed before he persecuted her. How could a tenth-grade spirit beast like her be injured?

Lan's body trembled uncontrollably. She seemed to be caught in painful memories, clutching her head and speaking in a hoarse voice, "Nan Jing doesn't allow me to have any flaws. He'll fly into a rage if I have a pimple on my face..."

Under his control, I became extremely conscious of my appearance. It almost drove me mad; even after he died, his terrifying voice continued to affect me. Eventually, I couldn't take it anymore and slashed my face with a knife.

Tears welled up in Lan's eyes, rolling down her cheeks like translucent pearls.

She opened her eyes wide and murmured, "This scar brought me back to life."

Yun Fuzhao didn't know what to say, so he could only gently pat her shoulder and ask, "Do you want to go back to the South China Sea? Do you want to go home?"

"..."

Lan looked somewhat confused. "Home?"

Qi Huai: "Mermaids hate betrayal the most, and what she did was undoubtedly cutting off her own escape route. Even if she goes back, she will be despised by everyone."

"He's right."

Lan stopped crying, "I can't go back anymore."

Seeing this, Yun Fuzhao said no more.

They soon returned to the world of cultivation.

Yu Ze stood at the boundary and said, "I won't go."

"Are you going back to the Demon Realm?"

"Ah."

Remembering something, Yun Fuzhao said, "I have already told the Grand Elder and the others about the day trip to the cultivation world. This is a big deal, and the route involves too many sects, so it can't be settled in a short time."

Yu Ze lowered his eyes and stared at her. "It's alright. This was just an excuse anyway."

"Huh? What excuse?"

His dark eyes seemed to be brewing some kind of storm, their light swirling, making Yun Fuzhao inexplicably nervous.

Could it be that he's trying to sever ties with their sect?

Yu Ze saw her reaction clearly and knew in his heart that she didn't understand his emotions at all.

Well, neither of these is the right time.

"It's nothing," Yu Ze said. "This is a teleportation array to the Demon Realm. In an extremely urgent situation, you can teleport to the Demon Realm. I will protect you."

"This is such a precious treasure."

Yun Fuzhao smiled and was about to take it when Yu Ze raised his hand, making it out of her reach.

"Take good care of yourself while I'm gone." He paused. "If the Hall of Rebirth comes again, notify me immediately."

"What's going on?" Yun Fuzhao asked, somewhat surprised. "Where are you going?"

"No," Yu Ze said in a low voice, "I plan to go into seclusion to cultivate."

Qi Huai laughed, "So it turns out he was provoked by my Eight-Tailed Fox."

"..."

Yu Ze is indeed not as good as Qi Huai now.

But only Yu Ze himself knows the truth.

"Not bad," Yun Fuzhao nodded. "Very diligent, deserves encouragement. I look forward to seeing how much you've improved next time we meet."

Yu Ze nodded.

I glanced at her one last time before leaving.

They were gone for nearly three months, which wasn't a very long time, but when they returned, the Boundless Sword Sect had changed drastically.

When Yun Fuzhao reached the entrance, he almost thought he had entered the wrong sect.

This magnificent gate, these imposing stone lions, and the abundance of spiritual materials everywhere.

Even the disciples guarding the gate were dressed very respectably.

Upon seeing Yun Fuzhao, the other party exclaimed with delight, "Sect Master, you're finally back!"

He shouted behind him, "The sect leader is back!"

Suddenly, "the cries of monkeys on both banks could not be stopped."

"metropolitan!"

"Sect Master!"
