Chapter 463: Li Muyang's Small Gift
Li Muyang looked at the warm scene before him but frowned.
"That's the oath..."
He had a faint feeling that this oath might be connected to an important plotline.
After all, the little girl was right—once her two older brothers were rescued, she would definitely leave the Capital City. How could she possibly come back and not leave?
Unless within the Capital City, there was some plotline even more crucial than her two brothers that pertained to her...
But at this moment, Tang Mengchen was unwilling to speak, and even though Li Muyang was curious, he could only take one step at a time now.
The warmth within the courtyard lasted only a short while before Tang Mengchen, who had arrived by using her supernatural abilities, had to leave to prepare for the hostage rescue.
However, just as Tang Mengchen was about to leave, the little girl hurriedly stopped her.
Giving Li Muyang a furtive glance, the little girl said, "Second Mother, can you find a way to contact the Immortals of the Mysterious Sword Sect?"
"If we can get in touch with the Immortals of the Mysterious Sword Sect, I have a way to ask for their assistance..."
For Li Muyang, the Mysterious Sword Sect was definitely the strongest external force.
With Chu Qingxue's relationship, as long as he asked, the Mysterious Sword Sect would certainly be willing to help.
If the Cultivators of the Mysterious Sword Sect were to enter the Capital City and were willing to assist Li Muyang, a mission like rescuing hostages would almost be a walkover.
But now the problem was that he couldn't make any contact with the Mysterious Sword Sect.
This time, his role was completely that of an old grandfather in a ring, unable to cause too much interference in reality; he could only rely on the little girl's help.
If they could connect with the Mysterious Sword Sect through the rebel army's line, rescuing people would be convenient.
That's why Li Muyang had previously told the little girl to try to find a Cultivator of the Mysterious Sword Sect.
But upon hearing the little girl's words, Tang Mengchen hesitated slightly.
"The Immortals of the Mysterious Sword Sect..."
Looking at the girl before her, the woman sighed.
"Although I don't know where your confidence comes from to request the help of the Mysterious Sword Sect's Immortals..."
"Unless Master Qing Ye returns, the current Mysterious Sword Sect is probably struggling to protect itself."
Seeing the little girl's look of surprise, Tang Mengchen sighed.
"The news I've received indicates that the Emperor's demons seem to have brought some kind of powerful and evil Magic Artifact from the North Land, specifically to target the Immortals of the Mysterious Sword Sect."
"It looks like the Immortals of the Mysterious Sword Sect have also received the news and have disappeared without a trace."
"They were previously hovering outside Heiyuan Pass, but a few hours ago I got word that all the Immortals of the Mysterious Sword Sect there had vanished, and no one knows where they went."
"Perhaps they've already entered the pass and are fiercely fighting the demons."
"Or maybe they've temporarily retreated after hearing that the demons brought a powerful Magic Artifact from the North..."
As she spoke, Tang Mengchen shook her head. "So let's not worry about those Immortals for now."
"Tomorrow we will rescue them; we must save your two brothers and then take them away from the Capital City."
As she said this, Tang Mengchen stood on the muddy ground of the courtyard; her clothing, followed by her flesh and blood, swiftly turned into mud and disappeared into the ground.
Before using Earth Escape to leave, she left one last sentence.
"Rest well tonight, tomorrow morning I will come to find you and tell you the detailed rescue plan."
Watching Second Mother leave, the little girl Nie Yubing clenched her fist happily.
Though she was calm and mature, she was still an eight-year-old girl at heart, her childish side not having disappeared. Continue your journey on My Virtual Library Empire
For the first time wielding great power and wanting to rescue her brothers herself, now with Second Mother's permission and agreement, the little girl was eager to try, filled with an expectation to show her skills.
Li Muyang, on the other side, frowned slightly.
The words of Tang Mengchen seemed inoffensive to the little girl, but to him, they were somewhat jarring.
That group of demons had brought some sort of ultimate weapon from the North... Could it be referring to the corpse of the Temple-Sealing Lord?
The corpse of the Temple-Sealing Lord, was it specifically meant to target Mysterious Sword Sect cultivators?
It sounds a bit far-fetched.
This band of rebels seemed to know little about cultivators, and not much about demons either.
The corpse of the Temple-Sealing Lord was definitely not some massive weapon against cultivators.
But from this information, at least one thing could be confirmed.
That is, the corpse of the Temple-Sealing Lord was about to reach the Capital City.
The Emperor of the Heavenly Origin Dynasty, at a critical moment when the enemy was at his doorstep, still dispatched the main fighting forces to the North Land to loot the corpse of the Temple-Sealing Lord. What exactly did he intend to achieve with this corpse may soon be revealed.
Looking towards the north, Li Muyang smiled.
"...But if the corpse of the Temple-Sealing Lord is about to arrive, then that item must be close too, right?"
At the time when "Dragonkin's Awakening" was about to be cleared, Li Muyang made a little arrangement.
The extraordinary creatures to the north of Yin Mountain were unable to cross the boundary of Yin Mountain, but the spells they cast, as well as the inanimate dead objects, could cross this boundary.
...
......
The cold moonlight fell on the dark lakeshore.
The girl resting with her eyes closed at the bottom of the lake, hidden within the water, suddenly opened her eyes.
"Hmm?" She vaguely felt a voice calling her from outside.
Chu Qingxue frowned as she got up, took a step out, and arrived at the lakeshore.
The moonlight showered upon her, and the Glazed Fairy Sword on her back emitted a mesmerizing, multicolored glow under the light, splendid and magnificent.
Responding to that calling sensation, she came to the sandy area by the lake and frowned as she looked towards the ground.
That calling sensation was coming from below the ground, and it was getting closer.
A few breaths later, a warm white light suddenly burst forth from the sands.
Immediately after, a ghostly white little flood dragon emerged from the ground.
This little flood dragon was transparent, a few feet long, and looked a bit mysteriously cute.
After it emerged from the ground, it looked around with a tilted head and finally locked its eyes on Chu Qingxue, who stood quietly by the lakeshore.
Then it happily burrowed back into the ground, struggling to wag its tail as it pulled a long scabbard from the sandy soil.
The transparent white flood dragon then turned to Chu Qingxue at the side, floated up happily, and under the moonlight, transformed into two crystal-clear white dragon scales.
Chu Qingxue was slightly taken aback by this scene.
She reached out and caught the falling dragon scales, recognized the aura of the scales, and confirmed they belonged to that dragon goddess from the North Land.
And the scabbard she had sent over across the mountains with her magic...
Chu Qingxue puzzledly picked up the scabbard from the sandy ground, frowned for a glance, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"This scabbard..."
Behind Chu Qingxue, the Glazed Fairy Sword responded the moment she took hold of the scabbard.
The next second, a dazzling sword light cut across the sky and directly shattered a dark cloud drifting overhead.
The Glazed Fairy Sword at Chu Qingxue's back joyously took flight on its own, fusing with that scabbard.
Under the moonlight, Chu Qingxue stood by the lakeshore, stunned, watching this perfect union of sword and scabbard, her beautiful eyes wide with surprise.
"Is this the scabbard of the Glazed Fairy Sword that master mentioned went missing?"
"...Did Muyang find it?"
