Chapter 440 Another World
"We were inconsiderate!" Li Chenxing felt a pang of guilt at being rebuked by Su Siyi, a junior. He lowered his head slightly, a look of regret on his face. He realized that he had been so focused on finding someone that he had neglected his family's development in the cultivation world. No wonder the Li family had gradually declined and become coveted.
He sighed deeply, his heart filled with self-blame. In reality, he couldn't return once he entered this place. He could only find a way to get more Spirit Stones to send over there. Fortunately, the Spirit Stone resources here were abundant, and he could dig up a lot of them every day. Otherwise, he really didn't know if there would be a bigger problem over there.
"Can't you go back?" Su Siyi asked doubtfully, her eyes full of confusion. In her opinion, since there is a way to come, there should be a way to go back.
"I can't go back! That teleportation array can only transport spirit stones back, nothing else or anyone else can go in." Li Chenxing's face showed regret, his tone filled with helplessness. He really wanted to go back, to see the family's current situation and see those people he once knew, but reality didn't allow it.
In fact, there are already quite a few Li family members here, and they arrange for someone to come here every day to deliver the spirit stones back. He happened to be in charge of delivering the spirit stones today, and he didn't expect to meet Su Siyi and Nangong Jingming here.
"Have you never tried to find a way home?" Su Siyi asked unwillingly, still holding a glimmer of hope in her heart.
"We've tried to find a way home, of course, but there's no way out here. We can't get out of this place. There's a barrier at the end of this place, and we can't get out." Li Chenxing shook his head helplessly, a hint of despair in his eyes. He and the rest of the Li family had tried countless times, but each time they were blocked by the solid barrier, unable to leave this mysterious place.
"Let's not talk about that for now. Now that you're here, come back with me to our place! There are still many of our people there," Li Chenxing said to Su Siyi and Nangong Jingming with a gentle smile. He knew that meeting people from his hometown in this mysterious place was a rare opportunity, and a sense of familiarity welled up in his heart. With that, he turned and walked towards the teleportation array, carefully placing the spirit stones he had collected into it. The spirit stones emitted a faint glow, as if imbued with endless energy, carrying his deep concern for his family.
"How can you be sure your spirit stone was teleported back?" Nangong Jingming frowned slightly, a hint of doubt in his eyes. In this unfamiliar and unknown place, he maintained a high level of vigilance and was filled with doubts about the operating principles and reliability of this teleportation array.
"Of course it's been confirmed. When you came here, did you encounter a couple? They were the patriarch and his wife of our Li family, my father and mother, your ancestors." Li Chenxing turned around, looked at Su Siyi with gentle eyes, and explained patiently. He could clearly feel the Li blood flowing in Su Siyi, and the intimacy that came from blood ties made him feel warm. As for Nangong Jingming, he could tell that he was not a descendant of the Li family, but the fact that they came together meant they must be closely related.
"We didn't see anyone when we came here!" Su Siyi shook her head, a hint of regret in her tone. The tranquil Pangu Spiritual Tree Forest emerged in her mind. It turned out that there really were people who had been silently guarding those precious spiritual trees, but they hadn't encountered them when they arrived.
"Then how dare you enter the formation directly?" Li Chenxing's eyes widened, a look of "How could you be so reckless?" on his face, staring at the two of them in disbelief. In his opinion, this teleportation formation was full of unknown risks. Entering without any preparation was too risky.
Su Siyi and Nangong Jingming exchanged a glance, a flicker of embarrassment in their eyes. They knew it was Bai Bo's promise that had given them the confidence to enter the teleportation array. But now, facing Li Chenxing's questioning, they didn't know how to respond. Speaking out felt a bit arrogant, after all, they weren't sure they could return safely; keeping silent wouldn't explain their actions. For a moment, the two of them fell silent, a subtle atmosphere hanging in the air.
"Forget it, now that we're here, come back with me!" Li Chenxing sighed helplessly, the rebuke in his eyes gradually giving way to tolerance. He knew all too well the impulsiveness and fearlessness of young people. Perhaps their safe arrival in this perilous place was a matter of fate. He waved his hand gently, motioning for the two to follow him. He decided to take them back to their home first, reunite them with the rest of their tribe, and then plan how to handle the next steps.
Nangong Jingming and Su Siyi followed Li Chenxing silently along a winding path. The surrounding scenery was strange and unfamiliar. The ground beneath their feet emitted a faint glow. Along the roadside grew plants they had never seen before. They varied in shape, some resembled small fans, others resembled winding vines. A faint fragrance permeated the air, tinged with a hint of mystery that made them wary.
Finally, they arrived at a seemingly secluded settlement. Surrounded by dense woods, it had several quaint buildings scattered about in an orderly fashion. Simple defensive formations were also set up around it, emitting a faint glow.
"Brother, why did you bring two strangers back?" A clear female voice rang out just as they entered the settlement. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a pretty woman with lively eyes standing not far away. She was wearing a light blue dress that fluttered gently in the wind. Puzzlement was written all over her face as she stared intently at Li Chenxing.
"Second sister, this is my descendant." Li Chenxing nodded slightly, a gentle smile on his face as he pointed at Su Siyi and introduced her. His eyes revealed a hint of relief, as if he saw hope for the continuation of the family line.
"Junior Su Siyi." Su Siyi bowed slightly and said politely, her voice clear and sweet. She looked at the woman in front of her with a hint of curiosity.
"Junior, Nangong Jingming." Nangong Jingming also hurriedly stepped forward and introduced himself. His voice was steady and powerful, with a faint smile on his face.
"Your last name is Nangong, but are you from the Nangong family?" Li Miaoling narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of suspicion flashing in her eyes, and stared closely at Nangong Jingming and asked. In the world of cultivation, the Nangong family is quite famous, and people with the last name Nangong are rare.
