After the spiritual energy was restored: Goddess girlfriends came knocking.

After Ying Qian and the others had gone far away, Ao Tianxin seemed to sense something and turned to look in another direction.

Lin Chu followed her gaze.

At the edge of Wanlongtai, a group of Ao people stood there.

The elders at the head of the group looked on expectantly in this direction.

Some people wanted to go forward, but dared not approach rashly, and could only stretch their necks in place.

Ao Tianxin exchanged a glance with him.

"Shall we go take a look?"

Lin Chu nodded.

"Let's go."

So, Lin Chu led Ji Ning by the hand, with Ao Tianxin walking beside him, followed by a group of Tianlan City disciples, and marched towards the Ao Clan in a grand procession.

When the elders of the Ao tribe saw them coming, their faces immediately lit up with smiles, and they unconsciously straightened their backs.

"Young Master Lin!"

"I've long admired your name; meeting you today, you are indeed a man of exceptional talent!"

"The entire Ao clan welcomes Young Master Lin!"

The voices were all incredibly enthusiastic.

Ao Tianxin stood beside Lin Chu and introduced him to everyone: "This is Lin Chu, the third young master of the Lin family. You all probably know him. He is the person I have been searching for all these years."

The smiles on the elders' faces instantly widened.

Taixu Lin.

These four words are enough to make one feel suffocated.

But now, this behemoth has such a relationship with the Ao tribe.

"Young Master Lin has come from afar; our clan has been negligent!"

The elders were extremely humble.

Lin Chu waved his hand: "Thank you all for taking care of Tianxin over the past few hundred years."

The elders waved their hands repeatedly, saying, "Of course, of course."

Lin Chu continued, "If the Ao Clan encounters any difficulties in the future, they can simply send a message to Tianlan City."

"I will not refuse to do anything within my power."

Upon hearing this, everyone's breathing quickened.

Actually, it's not necessarily true that Lin Chu needs to help with anything.

As long as this title and relationship remain, the Ao clan can stay firmly among the four clans.

Anyone from outside the tribe who wants to harm the Ao tribe has to think twice.

That alone is more important than anything else.

Several young Ao women lingered on Ao Tianxin's face for a long time.

There was no shortage of undisguised envy among them.

They wouldn't even dare to dream of such a thing.

Lin Chu ignored the stares.

Ao Tianxin exchanged a glance with him.

He addressed the elders, saying, "I'm going to Tianlan City with Lin Chu. Use the communication talisman if anything happens; we can contact each other anytime. I'll return once the clan leader emerges from seclusion."

Upon hearing this, the elders immediately agreed.

"Tianxin, go in peace!"

"With us looking after the tribe, nothing will go wrong."

"That's right! We'll take care of the clan leader; you can go do whatever you want!"

They seemed eager for the two of them to get married immediately.

Looking at the faces all grinning from ear to ear, Ao Tianxin was speechless.

Just yesterday, these same people were surrounding her, earnestly urging her to marry Cang Li.

Now, however, he desperately wants her to go with Lin Chu immediately.

The changes before and after are more than just heaven and earth.

She shook her head and didn't say anything more.

Lin Chu looked at her and extended her hand: "Let's go."

Ao Tianxin didn't shy away from it and grasped it in front of everyone.

Ji Ning, sandwiched between the two, looked up at them with a blank and adorable expression.

Now that the event has progressed to this point, all that remains are the auction and a few battles of wits.

Lin Chu had already achieved her goal in coming to Longyuan, so naturally she had no interest in continuing.

The group followed Lin Chu and Ao Tianxin, flying towards the Phoenix Carriage.

"Let's go back!"

As Lin Chu boarded the phoenix carriage, she leaned against the jade railing and watched as the people of Tianlan City filed onto the flying boats behind them, feeling a sense of relief.

This trip to Longyuan can be described as a very successful one.

He turned his head and looked at a corner of the phoenix carriage.

Ao Tianxin was being talked to by Liu Ying.

The other three women would occasionally chime in with a few words.

Ji Ning sat to the side, holding Gun Gun, and listened to their conversation with a cute expression.

Lin Chu withdrew her gaze, a smile appearing on her lips.

After the Phoenix Carriage left the Dragon Abyss Sea, Lin Chu and Ao Tianxin stood side by side.

As the sea below receded into the distance, the sea of ​​clouds spread out once more.

Ji Ning was asleep on the tatami mat, her head resting on Gun Gun's.

Lin Chu leaned against the jade railing and suddenly remembered something.

"Heavenly Heart".

Ao Tianxin turned her head to the side.

"In all these years in the Spirit Realm, have you ever seen Jian Li?"

Ao Tianxin was clearly taken aback.

"Jian Li?"

A look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

"She ascended to heaven too?"

Lin Chu nodded.

"And very early."

"Fifty years after your ascension."

Ao Tianxin was stunned for a few moments before slowly exhaling.

"I knew that girl was somewhat extraordinary, but I didn't expect her to be this extraordinary."

"In terms of natural beauty, she is the most unreasonable person I have ever met in all these years."

Lin Chu looked towards the sea of ​​clouds in the distance.

A look of pride crossed his face.

That was a disciple he personally discovered.

Ao Tianxin pondered for a moment and said, "For the past few hundred years, I have been searching for Lan Xing and your whereabouts, and I have also been investigating other Xuan Tian Realms."

"Jian Li... I've never heard anyone mention her before."

She paused, then looked at Lin Chu.

"Could it be that it ascended to another spirit realm?"

Lin Chu was somewhat puzzled.

"How so? Isn't ascension a fixed process?"

Ao Tian thought to himself, "There are nine spirit realms in the myriad realms, and the Taixu Spirit Realm is just one of them. You should know that."

"Those who ascend from the Xuan Tian Realm most likely end up in the Tai Xu Spirit Realm."

"But it cannot be ruled out that a very small number of them were guided to other spirit realms."

Lin Chu frowned.

Seeing his somber expression, Ao Tianxin gently comforted him.

"You don't need to worry too much."

"With Jian Li's talent, she can make a name for herself in any realm."

"Moreover, the nine spirit realms are not completely isolated from each other; there are channels for communication between them."

Lin Chu nodded.

"That's all we can do for now. I'll ask my father later. The Lin family's intelligence network is better than us searching blindly."

Ao Tianxin smiled.

"With the Third Young Master in charge, things are naturally different."

Lin Chu: …….

The imperial carriage continued eastward.

Several days later, the group entered an unfamiliar territory.

The mountains below are undulating, with thin spiritual veins, and the spiritual energy is significantly weaker than that of Tianlan City.

From a bird's-eye view, a dozen or so cities can be vaguely seen scattered throughout the area.

It's not large; it's like a small country.

"Young Master, the land ahead is Daozhou Li Kingdom, which is not within the sphere of influence of the Lin family," Liu Ying said, turning her head to the side.

Lin Chu glanced down casually.

"etc."

He stood up, walked to the side of the phoenix carriage, and spread his divine sense out like a tide.

Below lies a city, with clean streets and well-arranged houses.

There were still many stalls in the market, with spirit fruits and spirit rice scattered all over the ground.

The entire city was eerily quiet.

nobody.

not a single one.

Lin Chu scanned the entire city with his divine sense, his brows furrowing deeply.

"The livestock are all here, but the people are all gone."

The sword attendants behind him also released their divine senses to investigate, and their expressions changed.

"Young Master, the cities ahead are the same," Xianyue whispered.

After the imperial carriage traveled for a while, a huge capital city appeared in front of them.

The city walls are majestic, and the pavilions are staggered, making it far more impressive than the smaller cities we had seen before.

The crowd's divine senses spread out.

"The capital is empty now," Fuyao added.

Lin Chu's gaze sharpened.

"Let's go down and take a look."

As soon as the phoenix carriage was about to move, a very faint ripple appeared in the void in front of it.

An old woman in a gray robe walked out from there.

Her face was gaunt, her back slightly hunched, yet her aura was as unfathomable as the deep sea.

Immortal Lord.

"Greetings, Third Young Master." The old woman bowed slightly.

Lin Chu dared not presume and quickly bowed.

"Grandma Bamboo, thank you for protecting me secretly all this way."

Grandma Zhu waved her hand.

"It is my duty."

She looked down, a hint of seriousness appearing in her cloudy eyes.

"I have already used my secret method to investigate this place. It is indeed somewhat eerie. Young master is still young and we should not act rashly."

"I'll go down and take a look first."

Lin Chu nodded.

"Go ahead, Mother-in-law. I'll wait here."

Grandma Zhu responded and, with a swift movement, landed on the main street of the capital.
