Chapter 169 The Elders' Shocking Reunion

When Tao Yunmeng finally saw the figure on the giant eagle's back, his eyes widened in disbelief.

The news that Xu Ning had disappeared on his way to the Yuansheng Sect and that his fate was unknown had already spread throughout Tao Family Village.

Tao Yunmeng was heartbroken when he first learned of this.

He could be said to be the first person in Taojiazhuang to be optimistic about Xu Ning's future.

When Xu Ning first distinguished himself in the Black Armor Guard, Tao Yunmeng was pleased with his foresight.

Later, Xu Ning got into trouble, which made Tao Yunmeng and even the entire Tao family village leadership feel sad for a long time.

Given Xu Ning's achievements at the time, his accident was a significant loss for Taojiazhuang.

However, Xu Ning is back now.

Not only did he return, but he also commanded a terrifying monster.

He seems to have become stronger than before he disappeared.

"Uncle Meng!"

After a long separation, Xu Ning felt a warm current flow through his heart when he saw Tao Yunmeng.

Xu Ning leaped down and landed in front of Tao Yunmeng.

"Xu Ning, you're back!"

Tao Yunmeng was also very excited. He grabbed Xu Ning's shoulder and patted her hard on the back: "What happened to you? Why haven't we heard from you for a year?"

"Uncle Meng, it's a long story, I'll tell you about it another time."

Xu Ning also had great respect for Tao Yunmeng.

When he was very weak, Tao Yunmeng gave him a lot of guidance and help.

"good!"

Tao Yunmeng was very happy.

Xu Ning is unharmed, and his strength has clearly increased.

In this way, even if the entire Tao family needs to relocate, as long as Xu Ning is still alive, there is still hope for them to prosper again.

"Yun Meng, where is the demonic beast?"

Just then, Tao Jingxing, the clan chief, arrived in a hurry with clan elders including Tao Jingfang and Tao Jinglu.

They were just discussing the relocation for tomorrow when they suddenly sensed a terrifying presence approaching Taojiazhuang.

As high-level martial artists, they clearly sensed the danger.

The elders were all greatly alarmed and rushed over.

Then, on their way, they were met by guards from the Zhuang clan who reported that a terrifying monster had flown down on Taojiazhuang.

So the elders quickened their pace and arrived at the entrance of Tao Family Village.

First, they saw the giant eagle monster outside the village.

Because the giant eagle-like monster was enormous and exuded a terrifying aura, it was noticed at a glance.

Just as they were thinking about how to deal with the enemy, they suddenly discovered that Tao Yunmeng was right next to them, looking excited and happy, with his arm around a young man.

"You are...Xu Ning!"

After seeing Xu Ning's appearance, the elders were first stunned, then overjoyed.

Xu Ning had already been recognized as the hope of the entire Tao clan, and now that he has returned safely, the clan elders are overjoyed.

"Chieftain, elders!"

When Xu Ning saw the familiar faces, he greeted them one by one as a junior.

"Commander Wei?"

Behind Xu Ning, Tao Jingxing saw Wei Changqing and the other two.

At this moment, Wei Changqing and the other two also got off Xiao Hui's back and stood behind Xu Ning.

"Chief Tao, it's been a long time!"

Wei Changqing also clasped his hands and smiled.

When he was the commander of the Black Armor Guard in Kangyun County, he had dealings with Tao Jingxing.

However, at that time, Wei Changqing held a high position, and Tao Jingxing was very humble in front of him.

Now that Xu Ning's status has changed, he treats Tao Jingxing with the courtesy due to a friend.

"What exactly happened to you guys in the past year?"

Tao Jingxing and the clan elders were also filled with questions.

"Chieftain, I don't want to talk about these things with you now. I want to go home and see my family first."

Xu Ning initially declined, but then said...

"Yes, yes, let's go home first and see your sister and brother-in-law!"

Tao Jingxing quickly replied.

"Chieftain, please take good care of these three."

Xu Ning asked.

"Of course, of course!"

Tao Jingxing quickly responded.

At this moment, in Tao Jingxing's mind, Wei Changqing and the others were still members of a prominent family in Yunying City, and he still held them in high esteem.

"Little Grey!"

Before heading home, Xu Ning turned to look at the enormous and terrifying Little Gray: "You stay outside the manor and guard it well."

Upon hearing this, Little Gray nodded obediently and flapped its wings.

Afterwards, Xu Ning headed towards home.

"This demonic beast actually obeys Xu Ning's orders?"

After Xu Ning left, Tao Jingxing and the other clan elders looked at each other in bewilderment.

"This demonic beast should be a high-level mortal realm demonic beast, right?"

Tao Jinglu craned his neck, peering at Xiao Hui from afar, but dared not approach.

Upon hearing this, Wei Changqing shook his head and smiled, "This giant eagle is a Void Realm demon beast."

"What?! A Void Realm Monster?!"

As soon as Wei Changqing finished speaking, Tao Jingxing, Tao Jinglu, Tao Yunmeng and the others also felt a buzzing in their heads.

They all looked at Wei Changqing, staring into his eyes, as if to confirm whether what Wei Changqing said was true.

"That's right, it is a Void Realm Beast."

Wei Changqing gave them an affirmative answer.

Tao Jingxing's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, finally asking tentatively, "This demonic beast is so strong, yet it still listens to Xu Ning... Is it Xu Ning...?"

After Tao Jingxing asked this question, Tao Jinglu, Tao Jingfang, Tao Yunmeng, and others also pricked up their ears.

"Xu Ning has already reached the Void Realm."

Wei Changqing gave an affirmative answer once again.

In an instant, everyone felt the blood rushing to their heads.

Virtual Realm!

This is a legendary existence in Kangyun County.

In the eyes of the martial artists in Kangyun County, only in large places and powerful forces like Yunying City and Yuansheng Sect could such a level of existence be born. But now, a Void Realm expert has actually appeared in their ordinary clan!

"Good! Good! Good!"

Tao Jingxing's face was radiant, and his eyes shone brightly: "With Xu Ning here, it seems our Tao Family Village won't need to move away from our homeland!"

"yes!"

The elders also spoke.

They have lived here in Kangyun County for a hundred years, and none of them are willing to leave.

However, they had no choice but to make the decision to relocate in order to avoid the war.

But now, in Tao Family Village, a Void Realm expert has emerged out of nowhere and risen to prominence.

Xu Ning alone can ensure the overall stability of Ankang Yun County!

"Move away from your homeland?"

At this moment, Wei Changqing looked puzzled: "Why are you moving?"

Wei Changqing and his group were relatively weak. When they were on Xiao Hui's back, they looked down at the ground but could not see the defensive fortifications and the opposing troops.

"The war has spread."

As Tao Jingxing explained, he led the way: "Come on, Commander Wei, let's find a place to rest for a while, and talk while we sit down..."

"it is good."

Wei Changqing also responded.

After traveling at a brisk pace, Wei Changqing and his two companions were somewhat exhausted.

……

at this time.

Tao Tao was still squatting at the door of her house.

She was still holding her face in her hands, stubbornly staring at the road ahead.

It was midday, and the sunlight shone on Tao Tao's face, making her little face rosy.

Suddenly, Tao Tao noticed a long shadow appearing on the road.

Tao Tao looked up, but the sunlight was too bright for her to see clearly.

Tao Tao stretched out her little hand and placed it over her eyes to block the sunlight.

It was a familiar figure who stopped a few steps in front of Tao Tao.

Tao Tao stiffened for a moment after seeing the person's face clearly.

Then she rubbed her eyes hard, and the person was still there.

Tao Tao stood up, walked to the person, and carefully poked him.

It is a person, a real entity, not an illusion.

Tao Tao wanted to laugh, but as soon as she grinned, she suddenly burst into tears.

"Uncle!"

Tao Tao hugged Xu Ning's leg and burst into tears.

"Peach, I'm home!"

Xu Ning picked Tao Tao up and hugged her tightly.

Looking at Tao Tao, whom he missed day and night, Xu Ning felt as if he had never left.

He reached out and tidied Tao Tao's messy hair.

"What happened?"

Just then, footsteps could be heard in the courtyard.

Xu Lian heard Tao Tao crying inside the house and quickly came out to check.

Upon stepping outside and seeing Xu Ning, Xu Lian froze.

Then, Tao Yunchuan also came out, and he too was stunned.

"Sister, brother-in-law, I'm back."

With her back to the glaring sunlight, Xu Ning revealed a warm smile.

Tears streamed down Xu Lian's face, and she couldn't utter a single word.

Tao Yunchuan was overjoyed: "Quick, quick, let's go back inside!"

"I'm sorry to have worried you."

Xu Ning's tone was full of guilt and apology.

From the looks in her family's eyes, Xu Ning could understand how much of a shock her previous disappearance had caused them.

Fortunately, it's all over.

"What would you like to eat?"

Xu Lian wiped away her tears and didn't ask Xu Ning what she had experienced in the past year.

"Let's have some pancakes."

Xu Ning recalled the simple meals she ate in the early days after she came into this world.

"Okay, I'll make you some pancakes."

Xu Lian went to knead the dough.

She felt that she couldn't control her emotions when facing Xu Ning directly.

Tao Yunchuan then accompanied Xu Ning into the house.

"Tao Tao, go and call your Uncle Ye here."

Tao Yunchuan said to Tao Tao, who was still lying on Xu Ning.

Upon hearing this, Tao Tao quickly got off Xu Ning and ran out of the house to find Guo Ye.

"Guo Ye put in a lot of effort while you were away..."

Tao Yunchuan said something, then fell silent.

Xu Ning noticed that Tao Yunchuan's hands were trembling.

"Brother-in-law..."

Xu Ning knew that she needed to calm her family down first, so she didn't immediately talk about her experiences over the past year.

"Eat this."

Xu Ning took out a porcelain bottle.

Inside this porcelain bottle is the Rejuvenating Vitality Pill that Xu Ning had previously refined for Tao Yunchuan to repair old injuries.

"What is this?"

Sure enough, Tao Yunchuan's attention was diverted, and his emotions calmed down a bit.

However, Xu Ning's next words made Tao Yunchuan's heart tremble again.

"This is a kind of elixir. After you swallow it, it can completely heal your old injuries."

"Completely repair the old wounds?"

Tao Yunchuan was momentarily stunned: "You mean, my arms and legs can function like a normal person's?"

"Yes."

Xu Ning smiled and nodded affirmatively.

After receiving confirmation from Xu Ning, Tao Yunchuan turned his gaze to the porcelain bottle.

He carefully took the porcelain bottle, then stared at it blankly.

Thank you to Zards, Yuan_亦可, and Drifting Kite for the generous donations!

Quietly asking for a monthly pass...
