Chapter 618 rootless wood, hollow bamboo(2/2)
After the cloaked woman returned to Qimei, she no longer went with Ning Fan and went to the Shenxu Pavilion in Qimei City alone. Ning Fan did not stop her.
After Ning Fan stayed in Qimei for a while, he immediately went to a barren mountain thousands of miles away to meet Muluo, who lived alone in a thatched cottage.
Outside the thatched cottage, there was an isolated pavilion, in which sat a short old man in black robe, drinking alone. He was the broken fifth body of Sanyao Muluo.
When Ning Fan appeared outside the lonely pavilion, Mu Luo's cloudy eyes suddenly flashed with hope, but he quickly concealed it.
"Oh? You're back? How was your trip to the Tree Realm... Uh, wait. Your cultivation level... Did you return to Yuan successfully?!"
Muluo lives alone in the barren mountains and does not interact with outside monks. He does not yet know that Ning Fan returned to the Rain Realm and killed Lan Ling.
He knew about Ning Fan's entry into the Tree Realm, and also asked Ning Fan to search for the whereabouts of the Ming Luo clan in the Tree Realm.
Seeing Ning Fan return at this moment, I was naturally looking forward to it and wanted to know if the Mingluo clan was still well.
But when he noticed Ning Fan's powerful Guiyuan aura, all Muluo's words were choked in his throat.
Ning Fan's current cultivation level is undoubtedly that of Guiyuan Taixu, and his powerful magic power is comparable to that of an ordinary Suiyi monk.
Before Ning Fan entered the tree world, he only asked about Xu's cultivation...
Mu Luo really wants to know what Ning Fan did after entering the tree realm, what opportunities he got, and he was able to advance from the realm of Wenxu to the realm of Guiyuan Taixu in just two years!
Muluo's body flashed with black light, and he instantly disappeared into the pavilion, appearing three feet in front of Ning Fan.
He originally wanted to ask Ning Fan about his return to Yuan, but when his eyes touched the purple seal on Ning Fan's left face, he was suddenly startled.
"This is... an immortal seal! How come you were hit by such a powerful seal!" There was a hint of concern in his words.
This sealing technique is profound and unpredictable, reaching the immortal level. Because the level is too high, even the Rain Emperor and his ilk cannot tell that this purple rune is a seal.
Mingque didn't see it, and Meichen didn't see it. If they had seen how powerful the seal was, they would have been extremely anxious.
It can be seen that this purple talisman is an immortal-level seal, and there was only one woman in the cloak.
When Muluo's cultivation reached the realm of dispersing demons, he also saw the power of this sealing technique.
Mu Luo only took one glance and realized that this seal was difficult to break.
And he thought further. The person who could use the Immortal Level Sealing Technique on Ning Fan would naturally not be an unknown person.
There is no such person in the lower three realms, nor in the middle three realms. Only in the upper three realms can such a person exist.
If it wasn't the Sanxian and his ilk who planted this seal, it was the monks Suiba and Suijiu who planted this seal after paying a huge price!
Mu Luo secretly guessed that Ning Fan might have fought against an old monster from the upper three realms, and was planted a sinister immortal-level seal by him.
"My cultivation has indeed been restored successfully. The details of the return are not worth mentioning. As for the sealing technique I was possessed by... the person who cast it has died at my hands. We will talk about this later."
Ning Fan's tone was very calm, but when his words fell in Mu Luo's ears, they shocked Mu Luo's heart.
The old monster who planted the seal for Ning Fan actually died in Ning Fan's hands. This news shocked Muluo so much.
The person who could plant this seal was at least an old monster from the eighth level of Broken Void, but he died in the hands of Ning Fan...
Mu Luo wanted to know what Ning Fan had done during his short two-year trip to the tree world.
Ning Fan waved his hand to signal Mu Luo to calm down, and then smiled mysteriously at Mu Luo. "Senior, don't you care about the current situation of the Ming Luo clan?"
"What? You mean..." Mu Luo was overjoyed.
Ning Fan mentioned the word "current situation" of the Ming Luo clan, implying that the Ming Luo clan has not yet been destroyed and is still continuing in the tree world.
Hearing that his family was not destroyed due to his disappearance, Muluo was naturally overjoyed.
"Senior, don't be anxious. This junior returned to the Rain Realm this time and brought back another good news. In the Umbrella Realm, keep it!"
Ning Fan patted the storage bag, took out the blood-colored paper umbrella, slowly opened it, and put Muluo's clone into the middle of the umbrella.
With his cultivation level, he is naturally not strong enough to take away Muluo.
Mu Luo has been with Ning Fan for a long time. He trusted Ning Fan enough to allow Ning Fan to include him in the umbrella world.
As soon as he entered the umbrella world, Muluo found that he was on a continent that stretched for millions of miles.
He was in a Xiangfei bamboo forest, standing in front of an extremely thick giant bamboo.
He still didn't know what the good news Ning Fan was talking about and why he included him in the umbrella world.
When his spiritual thoughts dispersed, he discovered that there were countless Mingluo tribesmen living in the bamboo sea here. He was immediately overjoyed, but also a little bit disappointed.
"Ning Xiaoyou actually brought the entire Mingluo tribe back to the Rain Realm? Haha, this is indeed good news..."
There are not many members of the Ming Luo tribe anymore, only one hundred thousand, which is far from the prosperity of the past.
But for Muluo, as long as the Mingluo clan is not completely destroyed, it is great news.
And Ning Fan went to great lengths to bring the entire Ming Luo clan back to the Rain Realm, which is naturally good news.
It was obviously good news, but Muluo still felt disappointed.
He didn't know what he was expecting. Did he still expect Ning Fan to give him another surprise in the umbrella world?
A person who was let down two million years ago, a love that can never be repaid...
"Mu...Mu Luo, is that you..."
A trembling female voice suddenly came from the giant bamboo.
A graceful and beautiful woman in green clothes slowly walked out of the giant bamboo and looked at Muluo blankly. Her heart seemed to be hollowed out in an instant, she forgot to breathe, and she couldn't believe it.
Muluo suddenly looked back, all his expressions were frozen when he saw this woman's face, and then burst into tears.
Two million years of loneliness, two million years of guilt...and two million years of heart-wrenching longing.
"Youhuang!"
...
In the barren mountains, outside the lonely pavilion, Ning Fan touched the bloody umbrella in his hand and smiled knowingly.
In this way, does it count as repaying Muluo's kindness in protecting the Yue Kingdom?
A hollow bamboo is not heartless. A rootless tree is not heartless either...
