Chapter 1128: 45. Parents
Lu Lanxi smiled and shook her head, putting away the Formation Breaker Bees and the rings of those fallen cultivators.
"Three benefactors! Let's go in together." The cultivator who had sought help looked gratefully at the three of them.
"You go ahead, we have other matters to attend to," Yun Han said.
"Then we will take our leave for now. See you later!" The cultivator who had sought help clasped his fist in respect to Lu Lanxi and the others, leading the group towards the stone door.
After taking a few steps, the cultivator returned and handed a black stone to Lu Lanxi. "This Elemental Stone, which I obtained from the Elemental Starry Sky, is for you." He knew the stone was not simple, but his current strength wasn't enough to refine it. They had saved him; he truly did not know how to repay them. This Elemental Stone was the most precious item he had, and he gave it to them as an expression of his gratitude.
Lu Lanxi waved her hand, "You keep it for yourself." This Elemental Stone was clearly a good item. She had killed those obstructive cultivators not to help him, but because their actions were so vile that they incited her killing intent.
"Please accept it, otherwise I will not be at ease." The cultivator insisted on pressing the Elemental Stone into Lu Lanxi's hand.
"Alright then!" Seeing no way to refuse, Lu Lanxi took the Elemental Stone and handed a few Talismans to the cultivator. "These Talismans are for you, perhaps they can help you at a critical moment."
"Thank you! My name is Shin Ziqi, and I hope we have the chance to meet again in the future." Shin Ziqi accepted the Talismans, clasped his fist to Lu Lanxi and the others, and turned to walk through the stone door.
Lu Lanxi and the others disposed of the bodies on the ground and sat down nearby, entering into a state of cultivation. Right now, strength was their main focus.
Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo arrived at the entrance of the Green Mountain Secret Realm. After Lu Hanmo analyzed the formation, he took Luo Shu's hand, flashed into the Green Mountain Secret Realm. The Teleportation Array here was no challenge for them now.
After over four months of cultivation in The Divine World, their cultivation had already reached the True God Stage. Of course, their rapid progress was largely due to the Heart of Time. Reaching the True God Stage was why they could travel so quickly from Black Rock Country to White Sand Country.
Entering the Green Mountain Secret Realm, Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo released their Divine Sense vastly across the area, soon spotting Lu Xuanye in the desert, and Lu Lanxi along with Yun Han, cultivating in front of the first stone door.
Lu Xuanye felt a familiar aura and his face lit up in surprise. It's Mom and Dad!
"Junior Brother Lu, what's making you so happy?" Lan Yuying asked, curious about Lu Xuanye's smile.
"My parents have entered the Green Mountain Secret Realm," Lu Xuanye smiled. He hadn't expected them to get from Black Rock Country to White Sand Country so quickly.
"Your parents? Did they also participate in the Green Mountain Secret Realm selection?" Jiang Junyao asked in surprise.
Everyone else also looked at Lu Xuanye. Previously, they had only heard that his sister had participated in the selection; how could it now be that his parents were here too?
Lu Xuanye smiled and shook his head, "They just came in now."
"Just came in?!" Everyone found it hard to believe.
"Wasn't the Teleportation Array already closed? How did they get in?"
"Who are your parents? Are they really that skilled in formations?"
"You'll find out when you meet them," Lu Xuanye said with a slight smile. He had already received his mother's transmission, saying she and his father were coming his way.
"Should we wait for them?" Jiang Junyao asked. Although she still had some doubts about Lu Xuanye's parents being able to break into the Green Mountain Secret Realm's formations, she found it hard to question further given Lu Xuanye's assertion.
"No need, they'll catch up to us quickly," Lu Xuanye said, confident in his parents' strength.
"Didn't they just enter?" Lan Yuying asked. They had been traveling for about a month since entering, so surely even if Lu Xuanye's parents were really powerful, they'd need at least half a month. Plus, they were still moving forward, how could they possibly catch up?
"You'll see soon enough," Lu Xuanye smiled again. He could already feel his parents' presence growing stronger.
Lan Yuying shrugged, deciding to say no more. Previously, she thought Lu Xuanye was a pretty good person, but today her impression of him had greatly decreased. He had described his parents as if they were almighty beings.
Qin Yusheng and the others merely smiled. They also thought Lu Xuanye was exaggerating somewhat.
"We're almost at the desert's end," Jiang Junyao remarked, spotting the continuous stretch of mountains ahead, her pretty face breaking into a cheerful smile. After spending so long in the monotone desert, seeing other colors instantly lifted her mood.
At that moment, two silhouettes suddenly appeared in front of them.
The man was tall and imposing, with handsome, resolute features, while the woman was exceptionally beautiful, so much so that one couldn't help but be amazed at first sight.
"Who are you?" Jiang Junyao took two steps back, her face full of fright. These young man and woman's aura was incredibly strong! Strange, why did the man feel familiar?
She turned to look at Lu Xuanye. Could they be Lu Xuanye's parents?
"Dad! Mom!" Lu Xuanye smiled as he stepped forward and hugged Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo.
Jiang Junyao snapped out of it, exchanging glances with the others. It turned out Lu Xuanye hadn't lied to them. But his parents were also surprisingly young.
Luo Shu looked at Jiang Junyao and the others with a smile, "Thank you for taking care of Yeye these days." On their last communication with Yeye, he had updated them on his situation. Luo Shu was quite grateful to Jiang Junyao and the others.
"No need to be so courteous!" Jiang Junyao's group felt a bit flattered. Generally, powerful beings rarely paid attention to those with lesser strength, let alone thanked them.
Luo Shu took out a Storage Ring and handed it to Jiang Junyao, "Please accept this ring as a token of our appreciation."
"No! No! No! We can't accept this," Jiang Junyao's group quickly waved their hands, refusing.
Lu Xuanye stepped forward, took the Storage Ring from Luo Shu, and placed it in Jiang Junyao's hand, looking at everyone, "To all my senior brothers and sisters, thank you for taking care of me these days! I hope we can meet again in the future, farewell for now!" With his parents' arrival, naturally, he couldn't continue to stay with the others. After all, his parents carried many secrets.
