How would she find a new body
"However, thanks to your help, I still have a lot of consciousness left." Nangong thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I will remain silent for a while. If you need me, you can wake me up again. This will be my compensation to you."
She hesitated for a moment, then added, "Oh and don't tell the Nangong family about this... Mainly because I hate red tape and I really don't want to talk to the younger generations in the name of a senior."
When talking to Luo Xue in his consciousness, Nangong was obviously much more casual.
At least in front of their descendants, the Nangong family still wants to maintain the image of their majestic ancestors as much as possible.
After saying this, Nangong's consciousness fell into silence, and it looked like he didn't want to wake up for a while.
"... ..."
Luo Xue opened her eyes, and under the gaze of two familiar expectant eyes, she said sadly,
"Master Saint Soul... has fallen asleep."
Chapter 198: The Decline of the Ancient Clan, the Girl in the Wilderness
After learning that their ancestor Nangong's consciousness had dissipated, Nangong Ling and Nangong Wan'er could not hide their melancholy on their faces.
They would be willing to shorten their lifespans by ten thousand years just to have the chance to talk directly with their ancestors.
Luo Xue could see their disappointment, but there was nothing she could do. Nangong herself didn't want to show up, and she couldn't force her. She could only find a reason to get rid of Nangong Ling and Nangong Wan'er.
However, after a moment, Nangong Ling calmed down and said,
"Luo Xue, where are you going next?"
"I... don't have any idea yet." Luo Xue hesitated for a while and said, "But I can't leave this holy soul body for a while, is it okay?"
“It’s okay. Since our ancestors have already recognized you, and you are in this situation because of us, I will give the Holy Soul to you... Even the most stubborn elders will not dare to object.” Nangong Ling said.
The most important thing is that Nangong personally came forward to recognize Luo Xue. This is the first patriarch that the Nangong family has worshipped for generations. What she said has become the ancestral precepts. The elders of the family will certainly not oppose the decision made by Nangong.
Of course, the main reason is that no one knows that Nangong's consciousness has not dissipated yet, otherwise... Luo Xue must be kept no matter what.
"I'm sorry, but I don't have a body you can use for the time being. I'm afraid you'll have to figure out a way to deal with this matter yourself." Nangong Ling said apologetically, "The Holy Soul is special. It is tainted with the immortal shadow of decay. An ordinary body cannot accommodate it. Even the puppet bodies left over from the ancient times... do not meet the requirements."
You can't kill a strong man in the Sea Crossing Realm right now, right
Hunting down a strong person at the Crossing the Sea Realm is not an easy task. The reason why the extraterritorial evil demon that can kill a person at the Crossing the Sea Realm is because it has been severely injured and has not yet recovered. In addition, with the dual suppression of the Withering Will and the Immortal Will, it will inevitably go to the end due to the wear and tear left by the long years.
But a peak Crossing the Sea Realm expert... is completely different.
In the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, there are only two prominent Sea Crossing Realm experts, the Immortal Emperor and the Empress, which shows how rare the Sea Crossing Realm is.
"Puppet body?"
The thing that Nangong Ling mentioned inadvertently instantly caught Luo Xue's attention.
"Don't you know? In the ancient times, many immortal tombs were guarded by puppets. It is said that the Great Qin Immortal Emperor also has powerful puppets that are enough to compete with the Crossing Sea Realm... But unfortunately, most of the puppets have not been able to withstand the wear and tear of the years, and they are almost used up every time. More importantly..."
Nangong Ling sighed softly and said, "The art of puppetry has long been lost. Puppets can only be found in immortal tombs from the ancient times. Therefore, even if the Nangong family uses all their strength, it will be difficult to find a puppet that can accommodate a holy soul in a short period of time."
"Can I make it fresh?"
Luo Xue touched her chin and thought.
"Now, do it now?" Nangong Ling was stunned, "But the puppet technique has been lost. Wait, you don't mean..."
Nangong Ling's eyes lit up. Could it be that the ancestor Nangong who appeared briefly brought the four lost arts
Luo Xue looked at Nangong Ling's expression and immediately realized that she had misunderstood, so she said,
"You think too much. Master Nangong is only good at killing and has no knowledge of the four arts."
After all, he is a terrifying existence who masters two ultimate laws at the same time and uses them to the extreme. If he is also proficient in four arts, it would be too outrageous.
This is indeed the case. Most of Nangong's memories are about killing and killing. He killed all the way until the sky collapsed and the earth broke apart, and he never put down his weapon until he died.
"... In that case, what do you mean?"
Nangong Ling frowned slightly. Luo Xue didn't look like she asked this question on a whim. It seemed that there was really a possibility of making a puppet on the spot.
"Shh, it's a secret." Luo Xue raised her finger and smiled slightly, "Everyone has to have some little secrets, right?"
Nangong Ling hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"I understand."
That's right, she and Luo Xue had actually only known each other for half a day, and it was only because of this crisis and the ancestor that they had come to this point, but it was not to the point where they knew everything and told each other everything.
It's normal for the other party to want to hide something.
... Actually, Luo Xue was too lazy to explain.
There is indeed someone who can be a puppet, but this person is not Luo Xue herself, but... another "Luo Xue", who is suspected to be the evil ghost sister Jiaoli.
Making trouble among the wild tribes in the south... Oh no, it's the mysterious controller who has gained fame, a white-haired girl who is also named "Luo Xue". Luo Xue has heard so much about this during this period that her ears are almost callused.
Another "Luo Xue" is so famous that every time Luo Xue introduces herself, she has to emphasize that she is not the one from the barbaric tribe in the south. It has to be said that this is a very sad thing.
There was no end to the explanation for this matter, and Luo Xue felt that there was no need, so she covered it up with the word "secret".
If the other "Luo Xue" is really Li Guijiao, then Luo Xue can really be saved.
Luo Xue believed that as long as Senior Sister Li took action, any puppet could be created and she would not have to be a wandering ghost.
What's more, Senior Sister Li is doing so well, so it shouldn't be a problem for a junior sister from the same clan to go over and get some help from her, right
In addition, Luo Xue hadn't seen Senior Sister Li for a while. Now thinking back, she did miss this quirky, timid and jumpy senior sister.
"Anyway, I will find my own way to find my body." Luo Xue said, "What about you? Do you plan to go back, or continue to stay in the alien space?"
Nangong Ling and Nangong Wan'er looked at each other, then looked at Luo Xue and said,
“In fact, you can also see that this matter is not over yet. Even though the remnant of the evil demon suppressed in this alien space has been killed, the mess it left behind has not been cleaned up yet. These were originally left to us to solve.
"Besides, Xiao Mian is still in the depths of the sea of blood seeking enlightenment. We have to accompany her. I'm afraid... we won't be able to escort you out in person."
Hearing this, Luo Xue scratched her cheek and said, "It's okay for me. Do you think you can trust me to use the Holy Soul's soul thoughts to go out and wander around?"
"Since it is approved by our ancestors, we, the younger generations, certainly have no objection." Nangong Ling smiled, "However, you still have to be careful. If the Will of Withering spreads to the present world, it will be quite troublesome to deal with."
Different from the Immortal Will which is still under the control of the Nangong Clan, the Withering Will now... has no power to contend with it.
Even for the weakest withering, the world today can only expel and restrain it, and cannot really deal with it.
"Of course, I am aware of that."
Luo Xue nodded. No one understood withering better than her—at least the one who understood it better than her was now staying deep in her consciousness, acting as a cheating grandfather... or grandmother.
"Oh, I almost forgot, there is one more thing." At this moment, Luo Xue remembered something and slapped her head, "You all know about Princess Snow who ran away from home in the imperial capital... right?"
"Your Highness?"
Nangong Wan'er's pupils shrank slightly. She didn't expect to hear news about Her Royal Highness the Princess at this moment.
Nangong Ling glanced at Nangong Wan'er obscurely, then looked at Luo Xue and said,
"Of course I know. What happened to her?"
"Hiss... How should I explain this?" Luo Xue scratched the back of her head, feeling somewhat distressed. "Forget it, I believe you - she doesn't want to return to the Imperial Palace, and is now in the wild forest not far from the Nangong Holy Land."
"The nearby wild forest? Could it be the Dark Forest?" Nangong Wan'er became nervous when she heard this. "Why is Your Highness there? I remember that there are often Jindan-level beasts there..."
For them, forming a pill is indeed nothing to mention, but how should Princess Snow deal with these wild beasts when she has no cultivation
"Don't worry about that. She brought out a puppet in the Yuhua realm. At least there is no threat below the Yuhua realm." Luo Xue said.
"No, I still have to go out and pick her up." Nangong Wan'er let out a breath, stood up and said.
She looked at Luo Xue, her tone even a little humble, "Ms. Luo Xue...if possible, can you tell me her location?"
"That's no problem, but how should I put it... Let's keep it a secret from the Immortal Emperor for now." Luo Xue said as she passed the specific location to Nangong Wan'er, "At least she doesn't want to go home now."
"no problem."
Nangong Wan'er agreed immediately, then looked at Nangong Ling apologetically, seeming to hesitate to speak.
"It's okay. I can handle these chores myself." Nangong Ling smiled slightly, "You should go see Her Royal Highness the Princess first. She should miss you too."
"...Thank you, Ling'er."
Nangong Wan'er nodded slightly, then took a step forward. The laws of space appeared, and her figure disappeared in an instant.
"Is she familiar with the princess?"
Luo Xue came over and asked.
She had never met Nangong Wan'er when she was a princess, and Dugu Xue did not mention her when talking about the Nangong Holy Land.
"You mean Sister Wan'er? I'm quite familiar with her," Nangong Ling nodded and said, "She is the princess's etiquette officer, responsible for her daily life. Alas, it's also because of Aunt Ziluan... the Empress Dowager. Being too deeply involved with the imperial family, I don't know if it's good or bad..."
While she was sighing, she saw Luo Xueru's expression as if she had been struck by a bolt from the blue from the corner of her eye.
"Courteous officer... old woman?"
Shit, is Nangong Wan'er the old etiquette officer who always has a stern and serious face
When Luo Xue first found out, she found it a little hard to believe, but when she thought about it carefully, it was true that Nangong Wan'er always gave her a very familiar feeling.
Looking back now, Nangong Wan'er has indeed always been serious and old-fashioned, almost exactly the same as the old etiquette officer.
“Ah, you even know this?” Nangong Ling showed a slightly surprised expression, but soon he was relieved, “Oh yes, you can even kidnap a princess who ran away from home, it’s not surprising that you know this.”
Hearing this, Luo Xue's eyebrows trembled slightly, "Well, it can't be considered kidnapping..."
What do you mean by running away? It was obvious that he was forced to run away!
"Anyway, they are all your little secrets." Nangong Ling smiled and did not ask any further questions.
She slightly became serious, passed a spiritual power mark to Luo Xue, and continued,
"After you leave the alien space, if you need help from me or the Nangong clan, just touch this mark."
"Um."
Luo Xue nodded.
Before leaving, she glanced in the direction of Nangong Mian and said softly,
"You don't need to tell Nangong Mian about my affairs. Just say that I'm gone."
The reason why her body disappeared was because of the will of withering, and Luo Xue didn't want Nangong Mian to blame himself for it.
Nangong Ling nodded slightly.
In the end, Luo Xue and her holy soul completely dissipated in the alien space of the ancestral land and returned to the present world, leaving only Nangong Ling still there.
Nangong Ling was silent for a long time before he sighed.
"All this is just the beginning..."
... ...
A few days later, the first to declare failure was the Udugu clan. They completely lost control of the evil demon's remains and could no longer suppress the sealed evil demon's remains.
What's worse is... their means of suppression had become ineffective tens of thousands of years ago, and this part of the evil demon's remains had even recovered a hint of the aura of a great emperor.
The Udugu clan was the first to be hit, and two-thirds of their members were killed. Even the current clan leader who possessed the Sea Crossing Realm was sacrificed in this battle. After his death, his flesh and blood were instantly absorbed by the evil demons from outside the domain, making them even stronger.
The Udugu tribe was forced to awaken the dormant great ancestor of the tribe, and only then they managed to suppress the rampant remnants of the evil demon, but there was a risk of losing control at any time.
At this point, the ancient Udu clan, which had been passed down from ancient times to the present, declined almost overnight. Seeing this situation, other ancient clans became even more worried.
As for the means of suppression left by the ancestors, many have been lost within the ancient clan, either deliberately erased or disappeared over the long years.
Therefore, almost all the ancient clan forces turned their attention to the great ancestor of the Nangong clan, the only one who knew the truth.
The news that the Nangong clan had killed the remains of the evil demon a few days ago had spread, and the ancient clans hoped to get help from the Nangong clan.
In addition... Until now, the ancient clan is still the one most affected by this crisis. It doesn't matter much to the Great Qin Dynasty and the neighboring Huiyang Empire.
In other words, it is beneficial.
The power of the ancient clan has been weakened to a certain extent, which is the best thing for the Immortal Emperor.
Of course, all of this has nothing to do with the Nangong Wilderness area where the crisis has already been resolved.
Compared with this crisis of the ancient tribe, the Immortal Emperor’s first southern tour since the establishment of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty is a more urgent matter for the tribes.
Ten thousand years after the ancient times, the war between evil and demons almost destroyed the entire demon race. Only a few low-level demons who were treated as slaves survived.
The low-level demons of that time were divided into tribes, occupying the entire southern wilderness area, which was equivalent to one-third of the area of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty.
