Chapter 320: Chapter 225: Cultivation World 15_3
As for the other sect disciples, they did not hold any resentment towards Si Lingle. They all knew that if it weren’t for Si Lingle, with their own skills, it would have been impossible to leave the Sealed Demon Land.
As for fortuitous encounters, they are the results of serendipity or fortunate circumstances. Without them, it means there is no opportunity.
They did not mind much about the lack of fortuitous encounters.
This is the distinction between sect disciples and loose cultivators.
Sect disciples enjoy abundant resources provided by the sect, including specialized cultivation resources and complete cultivation techniques. On the other hand, loose cultivators need to find resources on their own, which could lead to a scarcity of resources.
Therefore, loose cultivators value fortuitous encounters and resources even more.
Si Lingle and the others returned to Baili City.
Yu Xiao reported the events of the Secret Realm, and the Baili City Lord thanked Si Lingle for her selflessness. So, the Baili City Lord did not demand that Si Lingle turn in the spirit plants and other items she collected in the Secret Realm.
He also gifted her one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones, twenty thousand mid-grade spirit stones, and an Ancient Treasure as a reward for repairing the array.
Si Lingle also informed the Baili City Lord that she had gathered many bones in the Secret Realm and inquired if any of those bones belonged to the Baili Family members.
The Baili City Lord and others were taken aback that Si Lingle had even collected the bones of those who had died in the Secret Realm.
This.....
The Baili City Lord used a family secret technique to examine these bones; thirteen of them were identified as members of the Baili Family.
He further used the blood of the deceased family members to confirm their identities.
Among them, seven bones had been confirmed.
One of them was the great-grandfather of the Baili City Lord.
The other six were ancestors from the clan’s past. As for the unidentified ones, they had surely died over a thousand years ago, with no blood left preserved.
Si Lingle thought in her heart: The Baili Family, who governs here, shouldn’t be unaware of the news about this Secret Realm. Moreover, there were more than ten family members who died in the Secret Realm, could it be that no family member ever left the Secret Realm alive?
If there were family members who left the Secret Realm alive, could it be that none had left information about the Secret Realm?
Si Lingle was unaware that the Baili City Lord had come to this place eighty-three years ago and became the City Lord. Previously, it was called Bianshui City, but after the Baili Family moved in, it was renamed Baili City, and the sea became Baili Sea as well.
The Dendrobium Secret Realm opens only once every hundred years. Therefore, the Baili Family was not aware that there was such a Secret Realm in Baili Sea.
As for those who died in the Dendrobium Secret Realm, they were all training outside on their own and then perished in the Secret Realm.
Therefore, no one in their family knew that there was such a Secret Realm here.
After the Baili Family claimed the bones, Su Wan invited Si Lingle to Qingxuan Sect.
Su Wan was a disciple of the Peak Master of Sword Peak in Qingxuan Sect. She contacted her master and informed him about the bones.
Her master had already reported to the Sect Master of Qingxuan Sect, who stated that the bones of the Qingxuan Sect disciples should be claimed and returned.
The Medicine King Sect, Spirit Eagle Valley, and others also expressed their intent to claim and return the remains of their sect’s disciples.
However, the matter of the Secret Realm can no longer be kept secret.
They had previously sworn not to disclose anything related to the Secret Realm.
However, due to the Sealed Demon Land and the matter of these bones, the Baili City Lord stated that this matter could be disclosed, and as for the Heart Demon Oath, it could be forgiven.
Since the oath was made to the Baili Family, and the Baili City Lord agreed to reveal it, the Heart Demon Oath became invalid.
Although Su Wan and others invited Si Lingle, Si Lingle stated that she must first escort the seniors of Heavenly Dao Sect back to the sect.
Su Wan and others said they would return to the sect and wait quietly for her to come.
Si Lingle used the Teleportation Robe and returned outside the Sect’s Market.
After returning to the sect, Si Lingle reported the matters of the Dendrobium Secret Realm and the Sealed Demon Land.
Similarly, the Sect Master also arranged for people to use preserved blood to identify and reclaim some disciples.
Subsequently, the sect notified the families of these disciples, and the sect escorted the bones back to them.
Si Lingle received generous gifts from the people.
After handling the matters, Si Lingle went to other sects to return the bones of these individuals to various sects.
Some small sects had already been merged into and disappeared within other sects over the past few hundred years.
As for Xuanwu Manor, where Ban was, it had not disappeared, but Xuanwu Manor was extremely mysterious and was a hidden clan.
Si Lingle bought the location of Xuanwu Manor at the Qingxuan Pavilion and then headed to Xuanwu Manor.
Two months later, Si Lingle arrived at Xuan Mountain where Xuanwu Manor was located.
This Xuan Mountain had a powerful restriction, and Si Lingle stood outside the restriction and called: "I am Yun Hua, a disciple of Heavenly Dao Sect. I discovered the remains of a senior named Ban in a Secret Realm. The senior left a jade scroll hoping to have his remains returned to Xuanwu Manor."
After more than ten seconds, a Nascent Soul True Monarch appeared before Si Lingle.
"This little friend, please come inside."
Si Lingle followed the Nascent Soul True Monarch into Xuanwu Manor.
