220: Return to Tianbao City

"Oh?"

Hearing Danyangzi's voice, the group slowly turned their heads, looking at Danyangzi with confusion.

"Fellow Daoist, I wonder what you wish to ask us about."

"Please speak, Fellow Daoist. As long as we know, we will certainly tell you."

The Old Ancestors of the several Great Emperor forces scrutinized Danyangzi carefully.

They had felt earlier that Danyangzi's aura was somewhat familiar, a bit like the number one Alchemist of the Canglan Continent.

However, that Alchemist hadn't appeared for over a thousand years. Rumor had it he had been poisoned and killed by his own female disciple, so they hadn't asked immediately.

"Everyone, do you truly not recognize me anymore?"

Seeing their confused expressions, Danyangzi also looked strange.

The appearance of this body was only slightly younger than before, but after the Fusion with the lotus root jade body, his aura had indeed become different.

Yet, although he hadn't interacted with these people often before, he had refined Medicinal Pill for them, so they shouldn't have failed to recognize his identity.

"You… are you Fellow Daoist Danyangzi?"

The Old Ancestor of the Xuantian Holy Land asked tentatively.

The others also stared intently at Danyangzi, wanting to see how he would answer.

"That's right, I am Danyangzi. You all are truly forgetful. A thousand years ago, who among you didn't ask me to perform Alchemy?"

Seeing that the Xuantian Holy Land Old Ancestor had finally recognized him, Danyangzi felt a bit relieved.

"Hiss, so it really is Fellow Daoist Danyangzi. Please forgive us for our poor eyesight in failing to recognize you."

"Indeed, Fellow Daoist Danyangzi, you have achieved a Breakthrough to the Peak Great Emperor and look younger, and even your aura has changed, so we didn't dare to recognize you for a moment."

Having received confirmation from Danyangzi, the faces of the group also carried smiles.

It seemed those rumors were false; Danyangzi not only hadn't been killed by his female disciple, but he had also obtained some Opportunity somewhere and achieved a Breakthrough to the Peak Great Emperor.

Now that they had an acquaintance in Danyangzi, if they built a relationship with him, they might even be able to reduce the compensation.

"Hehe, since everyone is an acquaintance, I won't beat around the bush."

"I would like to ask you about the Zhuang Family of Liuguang City. Where did they go? Why are they no longer in Liuguang City?" Danyangzi looked at the group and asked quickly.

"Oh? Is the Zhuang Family you are speaking of, Fellow Daoist Danyangzi, that of your disciple, Zhuang Qingyu?" Hearing Danyangzi's question, the Old Ancestor of the Xuantian Holy Land was the first to speak.

The Old Ancestors of the other forces, seeing the Xuantian Holy Land Old Ancestor speak, did not interrupt, but let the two converse.

"That's right. Fellow Daoist, do you know where they went?" Danyangzi looked at the Xuantian Holy Land Old Ancestor with an eager expression, wanting to get an answer quickly.

The Xuantian Holy Land Old Ancestor glanced at Danyangzi in confusion and said slowly, "Fellow Daoist, after your disciple achieved a Breakthrough to the Great Emperor a thousand years ago, she went to the starry sky once, and not long after, she took the entire Family and left the Canglan Continent."

"Weren't these things arranged by you, Fellow Daoist?"

The Xuantian Holy Land Old Ancestor looked at Danyangzi strangely.

Since Danyangzi was not dead, it meant the rumor that Danyangzi had been killed by his own disciple was false.

Now that Danyangzi didn't know the whereabouts of his own disciple, it was truly strange.

Seeing the Xuantian Holy Land Old Ancestor staring at him strangely, Danyangzi felt a bit awkward.

However, he would not explain anything to the Xuantian Holy Land Old Ancestor.

After all, being killed by one's own disciple was not a glorious matter.

Since he knew that beast of a disciple was no longer on the Canglan Continent, he was not prepared to say much more to these people.

"Thank you for informing me, Fellow Daoist. My wicked disciple has been missing for several hundred years, which is why I returned to the Canglan Continent to inquire about her news. Since she has already taken the Family and left, I will go elsewhere to search."

Danyangzi casually found a reason to brush them off.

Then he took out an emperor-level Medicinal Pill that increased cultivation, flew it in front of the Xuantian Holy Land Old Ancestor, and said, "Fellow Daoist, let this Medicinal Pill serve as my thanks to you."

Seeing that Danyangzi had just asked a question and then produced an emperor-level Medicinal Pill as a token of gratitude.

The Old Ancestors of the other five forces were full of envy.

Had they known Danyangzi was so generous, they would never have let the Xuantian Holy Land Old Ancestor answer the question.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist." The Xuantian Holy Land Old Ancestor took the Medicinal Pill, his face full of smiles.

Although he couldn't use this Medicinal Pill, his Xuantian Holy Land still had a Great Emperor Second Level expert, so this Medicinal Pill could be given to him.

He put the Medicinal Pill away.

The Xuantian Holy Land Old Ancestor secretly transmitted his voice to Danyangzi, "Fellow Daoist Danyangzi, you and I are both Cultivators of the Canglan Continent. Could you speak to that Fellow Daoist and ask them to reduce our compensation a little?"

Hearing the Xuantian Holy Land Old Ancestor's sneaky voice transmission.

Danyangzi's expression tightened. He said coldly, "Fellow Daoist, there is no possibility of negotiating the compensation. If you don't want to cause any trouble, I advise you to send the compensation over quickly."

Looking at the Xuantian Holy Land Old Ancestor before him, Danyangzi did not give him a pleasant look.

This Old Thing was no good sort. He had given an emperor pill for answering questions just to settle accounts and shut him up.

Unexpectedly, after this Old Thing accepted the emperor pill, he dared to push his luck and ask for a reduction in compensation. He was truly shameless to the extreme.

"You…" Seeing Danyangzi state his voice-transmitted words to his face, the Xuantian Holy Land Old Ancestor's expression was extremely ugly.

However, he did not dare to get angry here.

Instead, he flicked his sleeves, grabbed his junior, and angrily left the surface of the lake in the Enlightenment Secret Realm.

The Old Ancestors of the other forces, seeing that Danyangzi would not make any concessions, also took their juniors and quickly left the Enlightenment Secret Realm.

Seeing that these people had all left.

Elder Zhao Da greeted Gu Chen and his companions, then continued to hide in the Void Realm.

"Junior Sister Huyan, since things are settled, let's return to Tianbao City first and wait for them to send the items over?" Seeing that everything had returned to calm, Gu Chen smiled at Huyan Xiaoyao.

This time was a huge harvest. Not only did they snatch the enlightenment tea tree, but they also incidentally made the six forces pay a huge compensation. It was simply exhilarating.

"Mm, okay."

Huyan Xiaoyao nodded, looked at Elder Yu, who was still somewhat stunned, and said, "Elder Yu, please take us back."

"Alright, alright."

Elder Yu came back to his senses upon hearing this and casually tore open a spatial rift beside him.

However, his face was filled with a depressed expression.

Gu Chen and his companions had five Peak Great Emperor protectors they didn't use, yet they insisted on using him as free labor. He really didn't know what they were thinking.

"Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, let's go."

Seeing that the spatial rift had been opened.

Huyan Xiaoyao smiled, quickly greeted Night Owl and the others, then followed behind them and stepped into the rift together.

As Elder Yu waved his hand, the entire spatial rift quickly healed, and the group disappeared outside the Enlightenment Secret Realm.
