Nan Xunran stepped steadily out of the Thousand Crane Hall, where several elders stood with their hands behind their backs.
When the elder saw him come out, he asked, "Ran'er, what's this?"
Nan Xunran around and saw Feng Qianshan behind her waving his hands frantically, his face full of urgency: Don't say it! I want to keep hiding!
Nan Xunran smiled faintly and said to the elders, "It's just an unusual phenomenon caused by my comprehension of the Great Dao."
Upon hearing this, the elders gave Feng Qianshan a deep look. They all knew very well that this was a phenomenon that would occur when breaking through to the Great Sage Realm, as they had all experienced it before.
However, since Ran'er is intentionally covering for him, it means that this person is trustworthy.
The elders then withdrew their attention and stopped paying attention to the matter.
Suddenly, a commotion arose. Nan Xunran his head and looked over. The sound came from the direction of the main hall of the Nan Clan.
He moved swiftly towards the source of the sound, and several elders rushed to the main hall at the same time.
A large crowd had gathered in front of the main hall.
Upon seeing Nan Xunran, everyone shouted in unison, "Divine Child!"
What happened?
Upon hearing this, the crowd parted to make way, revealing the person who was surrounded in the middle.
Nan Xunran raised an eyebrow slightly. "Yan Lingxue?"
Yan Lingxue collapsed to the ground, her face as pale as paper, a trace of bright red blood hanging from her lips.
Her hair was disheveled and fell across her face, obscuring her bloodless complexion; she had fallen into a coma.
[Yan Lingxue, the Daughter of Heaven’s Mandate (Awakened)]
[The Holy Maiden of the Secret Sound Valley]
[Sacred Lord Realm Pinnacle]
[Heaven’s Mandate Points 1576/1576 points]
With Nan Xunran enveloped Yan Lingxue in a soft, shimmering light, and her injuries healed rapidly at a visible speed.
Yan Lingxue coughed lightly a few times and slowly opened her eyes.
Her gaze fell on Nan Xunran before her, and before she could even focus, she instinctively grabbed his Nan Xunran and whispered, "Save... save Secret Sound Valley."
Nan Xunran slightly, but failed to break free, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yan Lingxue was not fully awake yet, her hand still tightly gripping Nan Xunran's clothes, her voice trembling as she said, "The Secret Sound Valley has been attacked, and everyone is trapped."
As she finished speaking, she slowly released her grip, her eyes gradually clearing and her consciousness returning.
Nan Xunran asked calmly, "Then how did you escape?"
Yan Lingxue took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and slowly said, "It was Su Yu, he trapped the Secret Sound Valley, but he let me go..."
[The Child of Destiny, Su Yu, has been detected]
[Disciple of the Master of Secret Sound Valley (former)]
[Early-stage Marquis Realm]
[Summoned Beast: Xiangliu Phantom (Supreme Saint Realm Middle Stage)]
[Heaven’s Mandate Points: 2189/2189 points]
At this moment, the system's voice rang in Nan Xunran's mind. "Su Yu's cultivation was previously crippled, and he was also expelled from the Secret Sound Valley."
Now, he's had a stroke of luck; not only has he regained his cultivation, but he's also gained a summoned beast. He's back for revenge!
The system then added, "He and Yan Lingxue were childhood sweethearts. The Xiangliu Phantom did not harm her, allowing her to escape."
However, the mere pressure from Xiang Yao was already unbearable for her.
Upon Nan Xunran's lips curled up slightly, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes. An ancient ferocious beast? Finally, a Child of Destiny possessed something that could interest him.
Yan Lingxue stood up, looked up at Nan Xunran, her eyes filled with pleading. "Please, Divine Son Xunran, save us."
Nan Xunran smiled slightly and nodded in agreement, "Okay."
[Yan Lingxue's favorability with the Daughter of Heaven’s Mandate increases by 15 points]
[Current Favorability: 100 points]
[Yan Lingxue, the Daughter of Heaven’s Mandate, has reached maximum favorability.]
[Can be bound]
Nan Xunran replied, "Bound."
Secret Sound Valley
"Su Yu! You ungrateful bastard!!" a disciple cursed angrily.
The Secret Sound Valley's expression changed, and he hurriedly stepped forward to stop the agitated disciple.
Su Yu stood in front of everyone, stretched out his hand, and pointed at the disciple.
Xiangliu Phantom flashed away swiftly, and with a muffled thud, the disciple's head exploded instantly, filling the air with blood mist.
Su Yu's face twisted in anger as he roared, "I'm ungrateful? Weren't you the ones who kicked me out of the valley first?!"
"You offended a young master from a powerful family, so being deposed is your own fault."
"If we don't expel you from the valley, are we supposed to wait for the young masters of powerful families to wipe out our entire clan?" someone retorted loudly.
Su Yu was speechless, his face flushed, and he shouted at Xiangliu Phantom, "Kill them all!"
The Secret Sound Valley hurriedly erected a protective barrier and urgently shouted to his disciples behind him, "Go quickly, I can't hold on much longer!"
"No, what will happen to you if we leave!" The disciples were extremely anxious.
Su Yu sneered, "Trying to leave? Aside from Ling Xue, none of you will escape."
"Utterly shameless! Do you really think that even after destroying the Secret Sound Valley, Senior Sister Ling Xue will still be with a heartless person like you!" A disciple glared angrily, wishing he could devour Su Yu alive.
Su Yu's face was grim as he coldly said, "Didn't I give you hope? She went out to get reinforcements."
"If she comes back, I won't kill you."
"If she doesn't come back, I'll kill you all and then go and bring her back." Su Yu's tone was icy.
