Zhao Ling'er: Hello, Sister Zixuan

(PS: Sigh, comments are off, even the chapter comments are gone. It's so sad that there's nothing to plagiarize.)

The Witch King looked tense, with an undisguised eagerness in his eyes.

Escape from the cage!?

The Witch King had longed for this for an unknown amount of time, and had thought about it countless times in his dreams.

However, some things have no "what ifs." Under the manipulation of the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader, the Witch King didn't even have anyone by his side. How could he possibly escape?

These years of imprisonment, day after day, had almost completely extinguished the Witch King's hope.

He was overjoyed to suddenly hear that there was hope of getting out.

The Witch King said in a low voice, "I wonder what I should do?"

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that Nanzhao is a vassal state of our Great Song? My husband happened to be thinking of His Majesty some time ago, so he specially ordered us to come to Nanzhao to bestow an Nanzhao decree upon him. Therefore, Your Majesty does not need to do anything; you only need to wait patiently."

Daoyan smiled enigmatically, his expression full of amusement.

The Witch King pondered for a moment, and quickly understood Daoyan's meaning.

The Great Song was a superior empire, and Nanzhao was indeed a vassal state of the Great Song.

The envoy from the Great Song Dynasty has come to Nanzhao to bestow an imperial decree upon him. Even if the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader wants to continue imprisoning him, he has no choice but to let him receive the decree in public. Otherwise, it would be a great disrespect to the Great Song Dynasty and might even ignite a war between the two countries.

This is also the Witch King's chance to escape the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader's imprisonment!

The Witch King had no idea what the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader was doing that had provoked the Great Song Dynasty to take action.

But he knew this was his only chance!

Thinking of this, the Witch King couldn't help but reveal a cold smile, his eyes narrowing and filled with chilling killing intent.

Moon Worshipper, you're dead meat.

"Our celestial delegation will arrive in the Nanzhao Kingdom within two days. As for what to do then, I think the Witch King will understand."

As Daoyan spoke and laughed, he vanished without a sound, as if he had never existed.

The Witch King's expression changed slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he could no longer find the other party. He looked at the empty palace, and if it weren't for his wet clothes, he would have felt as if it had all been an illusion.

The border of the Nanzhao Kingdom.

The Great Song's delegation was very large, numbering as many as 500 people. For a small country like Nanzhao, this was an exceptionally large delegation.

Inside a lavishly decorated carriage.

Daoyan appeared out of thin air, as if he had always been there.

There weren't many people in the carriage, except for an elderly man with white hair and beard kneeling inside. The old man was dressed in the official robes of the Great Song, and his extraordinary bearing inspired awe.

"Grandmaster, the Witch King has already been informed," Daoyan said respectfully.

"Very good, everything is proceeding according to plan."

No matter how much the carriage jolted, the old man's brush remained perfectly still, without even spilling a drop of ink. With a slight flick of his wrist, the exquisite brush suddenly moved like a swift dragon, leaving a large character for "Tao" on the snow-white Xuan paper.

The words exuded an invisible aura, as if expounding the ultimate truths of the universe, making people yearn for them.

Upon Daoyan this, Dao Yan exclaimed in admiration, "The Grandmaster's cultivation has improved once again; he is not far from ascension."

The old man slightly raised his eyelids, his gaze incredibly deep, and said calmly, "Immortals are nothing more than dogs of Heaven."

Daoyan's expression changed slightly, and he looked around as if afraid of being discovered.

Since the ancient war between humans and gods, the human race appeared to have won, but in reality, they were ultimately defeated.

Speaking of this, we must mention the unique environment of the world of Sword of Immortals.

The Legend of Sword of Immortals has six realms, with the Heavenly Realm transcending everything and belonging to the Heavenly Court and all the gods.

As for the Immortal Realm, it is not in the heavens, but on earth. The thirty-six Grotto-Heaven and seventy-two blessed lands are what is known as the Immortal Realm.

For example, Shushan is one of the Immortal Realm, where there are immortal cultivators. This is why, although the world of Legend of Sword of Immortals is clearly a world of immortals and heroes, ordinary people rarely see true cultivators.

Immortals and gods are often confused, but they are actually completely different.

God is without emotion or desire; He has no feelings and cannot possess feelings.

Immortals are mountain dwellers; they are humans who have cultivated themselves to become immortals. They are born with the seven emotions and six desires and understand the beauty of the human world. Even if they have achieved great success in their cultivation and gained power and lifespan that are difficult for ordinary people to attain, they still have the emotions of mortals.

Moreover, the immortals reside in the Grotto-Heaven world, which is quite different from the celestial realm where the gods reside.

The biggest difference is that immortals have an finite lifespan, while gods possess Eternal life.

Since the ancient war between humans and gods, most of the strong people of the human race have perished, and only a few ancient sages were able to hide in the Grotto-Heaven world. This has caused the human race's power in the human world to weaken greatly, and the Heavenly Court took the opportunity to gain dominance.

Currently, the celestial court Heavenly Court by humankind, and human emperors are even called Sons of Heaven.

All of this proves the influence of the Heavenly Court on the human world.

That's why Daoyan felt a little nervous when he heard the old man speak ill of the Heavenly Court.

"No need to be nervous. With this old man here, even the gods of Heavenly Court cannot see through us."

The old man put down his brush and sighed, "The Heavenly Court's order for our Great Song to eradicate the Nanzhao sorcerer Moon Worshipper is truly bizarre. I have a premonition that this trip to Nanzhao may not be peaceful."

Daoyan felt much relieved after learning that the gods could not see through his schemes.

He smiled wryly and said, "It is indeed inappropriate. It is really a bit unreasonable for the dignified Heavenly Court to pay so much attention to the small country of Nanzhao. Although Nanzhao still has the worship of the Nuwa, it is no longer a significant force and should not be enough to attract the attention of the Heavenly Court."

But the Heavenly Court Decree has already been issued, and we cannot refuse. We can only obey orders and do our best to complete the Heavenly Court's mission; there is no other way."

The old man remained calm and said, "I have heard some interesting news, which may be why the Heavenly Court has decided to kill Nanzhao."

Daoyan Yan frowned and said, "You mean the recent changes in the Nanzhao Kingdom and the rumors about the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader? If that's all, it shouldn't be enough to arouse the Heavenly Court's murderous intent, right?"

The old man calmly said, "Let's go to Nanzhao and see for ourselves. If the rumors are true..."

The old man stopped talking abruptly at this point.

He silently lowered his head and continued writing on the rice paper.

Daoyan Yan was puzzled but dared not disturb him.

The old man was of noble birth, the foremost cultivator in the Great Song and the most trusted Daoist School master of His Majesty. Furthermore, he was the senior martial uncle of the current head of the Kunlun Dao Sect, enjoying extraordinary prestige in the Immortal Realm.

He silently bowed his head, serving at the side, then turned his head to look at the table, only to freeze in place.

The old man's brush moved like a snake, leaving large characters for "witch" on the rice paper!

The term "Wu" (巫) refers to a person, someone upright and indomitable, and is a respectful title used by ordinary people to address ancient cultivators. At the same time, Wu is also a major enemy of the Heavenly Court, listed on its Heavenly Court list!

Nanzhao, capital city.

The blazing sun beat down, illuminating the heavens and the earth.

The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader seemed somewhat distracted, pacing back and forth in the palace as if anxiously awaiting something. Zhao Ling'er, while reviewing the memorials, noticed the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader's impatient behavior and felt a mixture of confusion and curiosity.

Zhao Ling'er has known the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader many years, and in her eyes, he has always been calm and composed, never fazed by any major upheaval.

At this moment, Zhao Ling'er noticed a tension and unease emanating from the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader.

She had never seen anything like this before.

Zhao Ling'er: "Godfather, you..."

Before Zhao Ling'er could finish speaking, a large amount of white light suddenly appeared out of thin air inside the palace.

The light was so intense that people had to shield their eyes with their hands.

When the blinding light faded, Zhao Ling'er lowered her delicate, boneless white hand and discovered that there were two other people in the palace. They were a man and a woman. The man was handsome and dashing, appearing unrestrained and carefree. The woman was dignified and elegant, with a gentle smile playing on her lips.

Zhao Ling'er was somewhat taken aback by the sudden appearance of the two people.

them?

Upon seeing this, the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader smiled.

He bowed to Li Hao and asked with a smile, "Immortal Master, are you well?"

Li Hao casually replied, "If I eat well and sleep well, then everything is fine."

Zhao Ling'er covered her mouth and chuckled, thinking to herself that this person was truly interesting.

However, she was more curious about Li Hao's background and why the Moon Worshipper Society treated him with such respect.

Zhao Ling'er knew the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader's personality well: he was arrogant and looked down on the world.

The fact that this unexpected stranger was being treated with such respect and caution by the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader immediately caught Zhao Ling'er's attention.

The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader: "Is Miss Zixuan well?"

Zixuan nodded slightly and said, "I must thank the sect leader for his help."

Moon Worshipper smiled without speaking, then turned to the two and said, "Linger, let me introduce you. This is Immortal Master Li, my benefactor."

Zhao Ling'er looked at Li Hao in surprise.

Her eyes lit up instantly, as if she had seen an idol, and she exclaimed excitedly, "You are Immortal Master Li?"

Li Hao raised an eyebrow and smiled, "What, you've heard Moon Worshipper mention me?"

Zhao Ling'er nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, excitedly saying, "I've heard my godfather talk about Immortal Li more than once."

He often spoke of the immortal, saying that it was the immortal who made him realize the mistakes he had made and understand what true human love is. Even his Granny and master praised the immortal, calling him a truly enlightened master.

Li Hao felt a little smug seeing the adoring look in Zhao Ling'er's eyes.

So that's how highly regarded I am in the eyes of the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader.

And Zhao Ling'er, right?

Yes, the little girl likes to tell the truth; she's an honest and good child, and worth nurturing.

After learning Zhao Ling'er's identity, Zixuan looked at her with a complicated expression.

Although this is not Zixuan's world, the Zhao Ling'er before her is Zixuan's granddaughter in this world, and in a sense, also her granddaughter. Seeing this girl who is about the same age as herself, Zixuan's feelings are naturally very complicated.

After the two finished speaking, the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader introduced Zhao Ling'er again, "This is Miss Zixuan, and you..."

The Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader paused slightly at this point, looking somewhat conflicted.

Although Zixuan is not the Zixuan of this world, she is still Zhao Ling'er's maternal grandmother from another world. How the two should address each other is a bit of a dilemma for the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader.

Zixuan noticed the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader's predicament and, with mixed feelings, came back to her senses.

She smiled and said, "Just call me Zixuan."

Zhao Ling'er was somewhat puzzled by Zixuan's complicated expression, but still obediently said, "Hello, Sister Zixuan."

quiet.

The main hall was completely silent.

Li Hao and the Moon-Worshipping Cult Leader looked strange, while Zixuan was also somewhat lost in thought.

elder sister?
