Chapter 168: The Clan Elders’ Shock, Reunion
When Tao Yunmeng saw the figure on the giant eagle, his eyes widened in disbelief.
The news of Xu Ning’s disappearance on the way to the Source Sect, and whether he was dead or alive had long spread throughout the Tao Village.
When Tao Yunmeng first heard about this, he was extremely distressed.
He was the first person in the Tao Village who was optimistic about Xu Ning’s future.
When Xu Ning stood out among the Black Armored Guards, Tao Yunmeng was gladdened by his own vision.
Xu Ning’s disappearance even made Tao Yunmeng and the entire Tao Village’s higher ups depressed for a long time.
Judging by Xu Ning’s achievements, his disappearance was a major loss for the Tao Village.
However, Xu Ning was back.
Not only did he return, but he also rode a terrifying demon beast.
Compared to before he disappeared, he seemed to have become stronger.
“Uncle Meng!”
After a long time, when Xu Ning saw Tao Yunmeng, he felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
Xu Ning jumped down and arrived in front of Tao Yunmeng.
“Xu Ning, you’re back!”
Tao Yunmeng was also excited. He hugged Xu Ning’s shoulders and patted Xu Ning’s back. “What happened to you? Why haven’t we heard from you in a year?”
“Uncle Meng, it’s a long story, I’ll tell you when I have the time.”
Xu Ning still respected Tao Yunmeng.
When he was weak, Tao Yunmeng had helped him a lot.
“Okay!”
Tao Yunmeng was very happy.
Xu Ning was fine, and he was obviously stronger as well.
In this case, even if the entire Tao Village needed to move to a foreign land, as long as Xu Ning was still alive, there was still hope of revival.
“Yunmeng, where is the demon beast?”
Tao Jingxing, the head of the Tao Village, rushed over with Tao Jingfang, Tao Jinglu, and other clan elders.
Just before this, they were still discussing the migration tomorrow, but suddenly, they felt a terrifying aura approaching the Tao Village.
As high level warriors, they clearly sensed danger.
The clan elders were all shocked, and they quickly rushed over.
Afterwards, on the way to the entrance of the village, they encountered a village guard who reported that a terrifying demon beast had flown to the Tao Village.
Hearing this, the group of clan elders quickened their steps and came to the entrance of the Tao Village.
They first saw the giant eagle outside the village.
And because the giant eagle demon beast was huge and emitted a terrifying aura, they noticed it at first glance.
Just when they were thinking about how to fight against the beast, they suddenly noticed that Tao Yunmeng was next to them, and that he was holding a young man in his arms.
“You are… Xu Ning!”
After seeing Xu Ning’s face, the clan elders were stunned at first, then they were overjoyed.
Xu Ning had been deemed as the hope of the Tao Village. And now that he had returned safely, the clan elders were relieved.
“Clan Head, clan elders!”
When Xu Ning saw the familiar faces, he greeted them one by one.
“Commander Wei?”
Tao Jingxing saw Wei Changqing and the other two behind Xu Ning.
Wei Changqing and the other two also got off Little Gray’s back and stood behind Xu Ning.
“Clan Head Tao, long time no see!”
Wei Changqing cupped his fists and smiled.
When he was the commander of the Black Armored Guards in Kangyun County, he had interacted with Tao Jingxing.
However, back then, Wei Changqing had a high status, so Tao Jingxing was very humble in front of him.
But now, Xu Ning’s status had changed, so he was now a friend to Tao Jingxing.
“What happened in the past year?”
Tao Jingxing and the clan elders were also full of questions.
“Clan Head, I won’t talk about this with you guys, I want to go home first.”
Xu Ning said.
“Yes, yes, go home first, go see your sister and your brother-in-law!”
Tao Jingxing quickly said.
“Clan Head, please take care of the three of them.”
Xu Ning said.
“Of course, of course!”
Tao Jingxing quickly responded.
In Tao Jingxing’s heart, Wei Changqing and the others were still members of a big family in Yunying City. They still had a lot of respect for them.
“Little Gray!”
Before going home, Xu Ning turned his head and looked at the terrifyingly huge Little Gray. “You stay outside the village and guard it.”
Little Gray nodded obediently and flapped its wings.
Afterwards, Xu Ning rushed home.
“That demon beast listened to Xu Ning?”
After Xu Ning left, Tao Jingxing and the other clan elders looked at each other.
‘That demon beast should be a high level mortal realm demon beast, right?’
Tao Jinglu stretched his head and looked at Little Gray from a distance, not daring to approach.
Wei Changqing shook his head and smiled. “That giant eagle is a void realm demon beast.”
“What? A void realm demon beast?!”
Tao Jingxing, Tao Jinglu, Tao Yunmeng, and the others all felt dizzy.
They looked at Wei Changqing and stared into his eyes, as if to confirm whether Wei Changqing was speaking the truth.
“Yes, it is a void realm demon beast.”
Wei Changqing gave them an affirmative answer.
Tao Jingxing’s mouth moved. He hesitated for a moment before finally asking tentatively, “That demon beast is so strong, but it still listened to Xu Ning… Xu Ning…”
After Tao Jingxing asked this question, Tao Jinglu, Tao Jingfang, Tao Yunmeng and the others also perked up their ears.
“Xu Ning has long reached the void realm.”
Wei Changqing gave another affirmative answer.
Everyone felt their blood rushing to their heads.
Void realm!
This was a legendary realm in Kangyun County.
In the eyes of the warriors in Kangyun County, only in big places like Yunying City and Source Sect would there be such an existence. But now, a void realm warrior had appeared in an ordinary village!
“Good! Good! Good!”
Tao Jingxing’s face was flushed red and his eyes were extremely bright. “With Xu Ning here, it seems that our Tao Village doesn’t have to leave our homeland!”
“Yeah!”
The clan elders said.
They had lived in Kangyun County for a hundred years, and no one was willing to leave.
However, in order to avoid the war, they had to make the decision to move.
But now, a void realm warrior had appeared in the Tao Village, increasing their battle power.
Xu Ning alone could help Kangyun County!
“Move out of our homeland?”
Wei Changqing looked confused:-. “Why are you moving away?”
Wei Changqing and the others were relatively weak, so when they were on Little Gray’s back just now, they did look down at the ground, but they couldn’t see the fortifications on the ground and the garrison troops.
“A war has gotten more intense.”
Tao Jingxing explained while leading the way, “Come, Commander Wei, let’s find a place to rest first. We can talk while sitting…”
“Okay.”
Wei Changqing responded.
Wei Changqing and the other two were a little tired.
…
At this time.
Tao Tao was still squatting outside the house.
She was still holding her face in both her hands, stubbornly looking at the road in front of her.
It was afternoon, causing the sun to shine on Tao Tao’s face, making her face red.
Suddenly, Tao Tao noticed a long shadow on the road.
Tao Tao looked up, but the sun was too bright for her to see clearly.
Tao Tao reached out her hand and put it above her eyes, blocking the sunlight.
A familiar figure stopped a few steps in front of Tao Tao.
After Tao Tao saw the face, her small body stiffened.
She rubbed her eyes hard, and the person was still there.
Tao Tao stood up, walked to the person, and carefully poked him.
It was a person, a physical being, not an illusion.
Tao Tao wanted to laugh, but she suddenly burst into tears.
“Uncle!”
Tao Tao hugged Xu Ning’s leg and cried.
“Tao Tao, I’m back!”
Xu Ning picked Tao Tao up and hugged her.
Xu Ning felt like he had never left Tao Tao.
He reached out his hand and tidied Tao Tao’s messy hair.
“What happened?”
Footsteps came from the courtyard.
When Xu Lian heard Tao Tao’s cries in the room, she quickly came out to check.
The moment Xu Lian saw Xu Ning, she froze.
When Tao Yunchuan walked out, he was also stunned.
“Sis, Brother-in-law, I’m back.”
Xu Ning smiled warmly.
Xu Lian’s face was full of tears. She couldn’t say a word.
Tao Yunchuan was overjoyed: “Great, welcome home!”
“Sorry for worrying you all.”
Xu Ning’s tone was full of guilt and apology.
Xu Ning could see from the eyes of his family that his disappearance had impacted them greatly.
Fortunately, everything was over.
“What do you want to eat?”
Xu Lian wiped away her tears. She didn’t ask Xu Ning what he had experienced over the past year.
“Pancakes.”
Xu Ning thought back to when he first came to this world.
“Okay, I will make you some pancakes.”
Xu Lian wanted to go up to him.
But she felt like she couldn’t control her emotions when facing Xu Ning.
Tao Yunchuan accompanied Xu Ning into the house.
“Tao Tao, go get your Uncle Ye.”
Tao Yunchuan said to Tao Tao, who was still lying on Xu Ning’s body.
Tao Tao quickly got off Xu Ning and ran out of the house to find Guo Ye.
“Guo Ye did a lot when you were away…”
Tao Yunchuan said, then fell silent.
Xu Ning noticed that Tao Yunchuan’s hand was trembling.
“Brother-in-law…”
Xu Ning knew that he had to let his family calm down first, so he didn’t talk about his experience over the past year.
“Eat this.”
Xu Ning took out a porcelain bottle.
Inside the porcelain bottle was the Youth Regaining Vitality Pill that Xu Ning had previously refined for Tao Yunchuan.
“What is this?”
Sure enough, Tao Yunchuan calmed down a little.
However, Xu Ning’s next words made Tao Yunchuan’s heart tremble.
“This is a pill. After you swallow it, it can completely heal your old injuries.”
“Completely heal my old injuries?”
Tao Yunchuan was in a daze. “You mean, my arms and legs can be like a normal person?”
“Yes.”
Xu Ning smiled and nodded.
Tao Yunchuan looked at the porcelain bottle.
He carefully took the porcelain bottle and stared at it.
