Chapter 280 Tell me, how did you get out?
Zhong Lingxin didn't know how much time had passed, but she felt that the golden carp hadn't been swimming around in panic for a long time.
After circulating the energy within the nine-tiered pagoda for two more cycles, she finally quietly removed it from the golden carp's gills and gently dropped it into the river.
The river flowed quietly, and there was no sound at all underwater.
Zhong Lingxin ignored the world outside the Nine-Story Pagoda and finally calmed down to look at the Phoenix Harp and the Phoenix Egg.
The phoenix egg had already been placed into the collected magma by Zhong Chun, and it was comfortably absorbing the flames inside.
Not far from it, all the fire snakes were locked in a cage by Zhong Chun, and could only drool over the phoenix eggs.
Phoenix Harp, however, is in very bad condition.
The entire body of the instrument has turned black, and the spirit of the instrument, which was urging Zhong Lingxin to hurry up just a few days ago, has completely fallen into a deep sleep.
Although she knew that Qin Ling was asleep for her own safety, Zhong Lingxin couldn't help but feel sad.
As her first companion, Phoenix Harp has been working hard to improve his cultivation over the years and always steps forward when she needs him.
This time, for the sake of her old friend, despite knowing the danger, she didn't let her risk her life and went alone instead.
How could she not feel heartbroken after suffering such a serious injury?
Zhong Chun soaked the Phoenix Harp in the spiritual spring with added antidote pills once again.
A wisp of black poisonous gas emanated from the Phoenix Harp.
Huanhuan gently brushed her little paws across the strings and whispered, "Much better. I can feel the strings vibrating now. A few days ago, the strings were like dead objects; they wouldn't budge when I touched them."
Pingping and An'an huddled next to Huanhuan, wanting to reach out their little paws to stroke her, but afraid of hurting the Phoenix Harp, they ultimately held back their paws.
Zhong Chun also comforted Zhong Lingxin, saying, "It's okay, Xinxin will be alright. You should find a chance to look outside; it's not a good idea for us to be stuck here."
At this point, Lele got angry. He circled Zhong Chun twice and said, "What kind of rubbish did you make? You can't see outside at all. What if we're surrounded by enemies outside? You're going to kill us!"
Zhong Chun had always been a little afraid of Lele, so he hurriedly ran to Zhong Lingxin's side: "Xinxin, this really isn't my fault. You should advance your level quickly. Once you're at a higher level, you'll be able to see outside. Also, if you advance a little more, the Tower Spirit should appear. With it, you can see outside, which means you can see outside too."
Zhong Lingxin nodded.
She knew Zhong Chun was telling the truth. At least, as long as the tower spirit could grow, she would be able to know what was happening outside.
She listened intently to the outside of the tower, but there was still no sound.
So she affixed invisibility and breath-concealing talismans, quietly left the Nine-Story Pagoda, held her breath, and slowly swam from the bottom of the river to the shore, where she landed on a boulder.
Once ashore, Zhong Lingxin carefully checked the invisibility talisman and the concealment talisman, then quickly walked downstream along the riverbank.
As she walked, she kept an eye on the riverbank.
In the distance, groups of three or five cultivators were passing by, chatting and laughing.
As the sun sets, the outline of a city begins to emerge in the distance.
Zhong Lingxin turned into a mountain hollow, and when she came out again, she was a thin young male cultivator. She followed among the many cultivators returning to the city and successfully entered the city.
After checking into an inn, Zhong Lingxin realized that she had arrived in Giant Tiger City, a city under the Beast Taming Sect in the western part of the Immortal Spirit Continent.
Giant Tiger City is already far from the main peak of the Falling Phoenix Mountain Range, and can be considered a spur of the Falling Phoenix Mountain Range.
Outside Giant Tiger City lies a mountain forest, teeming with monsters, the most famous of which is the Giant Peak Tiger.
Giant Tiger City is famous because of the giant tiger.
It was mealtime, and many cultivators were sitting in the lobby of the inn.
Zhong Lingxin also sat in a window seat, eating the giant tiger meat while listening attentively to the conversations of the other cultivators.
Only then did she realize that she had been in the Luofeng River for three years.
The old news about the Phoenix mythical beast is rarely mentioned anymore.
Right now, the news in the Immortal Spirit Continent is about the fierce battle between the Beast Taming Sect and the Taixu Sect.
And the Nangong family, they didn't hide well enough, and their whereabouts were discovered by the Taixu Sect.
And then there's the young sect leader of the Blood Fiend Sect, who rushed to rescue Nangong Xin'er and was seriously injured in the process.
The Nangong family and the Blood Fiend Sect were once again mentioned together, becoming evil cultivators that the Immortal Spirit Continent was determined to eradicate.
Those whose cultivation techniques, sects, and families had been stolen all rushed to Lianyun Mountain to wipe out the Nangong family.
All the monks who were talking about it were in a bad mood.
Because they were all cultivators under the Beast Taming Sect.
No matter how bad the Nangong family was, they were once cultivators of their Beast Taming Sect.
The group of monks ate and cursed at the same time.
Most of the time, they were criticizing the Taixu Sect.
Sometimes he would also curse the Nangong family.
Zhong Lingxin listened carefully and was surprised to hear them cursing her and the Qingyun Sect again.
It turns out, someone leaked the news.
It is said that the Nangong family's flying boat encountered an accident on the back of a carp.
Carp Back has been flirting with the Qingyun Sect for the past few years.
The Beast Taming Sect and the Taixu Sect besieged Carp Back several times, but failed to capture it for various reasons.
It is said that the Qingyun Sect played a significant role in this.
Sect Master Lu of the Qingyun Sect is now the most cunning sect master in the entire Immortal Spirit Continent, without exception.
Zhong Lingxin wanted to laugh when she heard this.
However, since she was on someone else's turf, she held back and simply ate her food with her head down.
Early the next morning, Zhong Lingxin boarded the teleportation array and hurried back.
As soon as they entered the territory of the Qingyun Sect, Zhong Lingxin's communication talisman started ringing incessantly.
She sighed. It seemed that Sect Master Lu truly lived up to his reputation as the most cunning sect master in the Immortal Spirit Continent.
This means they've discovered she slipped out of the Qingyun Sect.
Sure enough, as soon as she took out the communication talisman, she heard Sect Master Lu's voice, which was barely suppressing his anger: "Junior Sister Zhong, come to my Sect Master's Hall first since you're back."
Zhong Lingxin sighed again, wondering if she had any unfinished tasks for the sect.
Well, she refines a lot of pills and stores enough, so Zhong Muyun should be handing them over every year.
After entering the Qingyun Sect, Zhong Lingxin did not dare to return to her own Qingling Peak first, but obediently went to the Sect Master's Hall.
Upon receiving the message, Sect Leader Lu appeared in the Sect Leader's Hall.
Upon seeing Zhong Lingxin, he breathed a sigh of relief, pointed at her, and remained speechless for a long time.
Zhong Lingxin hurriedly offered two boxes of Fire Jade Elixir and two boxes of Spirit Tea.
At times like these, giving a small gift is always a good idea.
Sect Leader Lu snatched several jade boxes, took a deep breath, and asked, "Are you alright?"
Zhong Lingxin quickly smiled and said, "Thanks to the sect's protection and to the sect leader, I'm not injured and am perfectly fine."
Sect Master Lu looked at Zhong Lingxin carefully for several moments before finally putting his mind at ease. He walked to the tea table and began to brew tea, using the spiritual tea that Zhong Lingxin had just given him. As he brewed the tea, he said, "Tell me, how did you get out?"
Zhong Lingxin smiled. How so?
Sect Master, don't you already know that?
