“Miaomiao, it’s really you?”
“Could it be that your mother is from the Nine Souls Sacred Clan?”
“You returned to the Nine Souls Sacred Clan long ago?”
Chu Feng asked one question after another.
Xian Miaomiao did not answer. Instead, she turned to look at the two Grand Elders.
“Grandpa Xuan Sheng, Grandma Tian Sheng, I want to speak with him alone.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the black-haired elder understood her intention.
He raised his arm, and a surge of power instantly enveloped Chu Feng and Xian Miaomiao.
Now, Chu Feng and Xian Miaomiao were inside an independent space, completely cut off from the outside world.
After that, Xian Miaomiao began talking with Chu Feng.
Chu Feng finally learned what had happened to her.
Back then, her mother had forcibly taken her away from the Martial Sacred Land and brought her to the Nine Souls Sacred Clan.
However, her mother felt that Xian Miaomiao’s cultivation at the time was far too weak.
So she began frantically raising Xian Miaomiao’s cultivation level.
To achieve this, her mother used countless heavenly treasures and secret techniques of the Nine Souls Sacred Clan.
During this period, Xian Miaomiao’s cultivation soared, but the burden on her body became immense. In the end, she lost her memories because she could not withstand the strain.
She could no longer remember her experiences in the Martial Sacred Land.
She even forgot that she had ever come from there.
Her mother, in truth, did not want Xian Miaomiao to remain attached to matters of the Ancestral Martial Lower Realm.
So she lied to her, making Xian Miaomiao believe she had grown up in the Nine Souls Sacred Clan from childhood.
That was why she had never returned to the Martial Sacred Land, nor gone to the Sacred Light Galaxy to find Chu Feng.
Even when she was still suffering from amnesia.
It was Chu Feng’s voice that felt extremely familiar to her. And when she saw his eyes, she recognised him, and her memories came flooding back.
Of course, Xian Miaomiao also told Chu Feng that everyone who had tormented him earlier, including those from the Nine Souls Sacred Clan, had already been killed by her.
“To think my voice alone restored your memories.”
“It seems I hold quite a place in this girl’s heart.”
After learning the full story, Chu Feng smiled and sighed.
If Xian Miaomiao had not arrived today, he truly might have lost his life.
“Of course! You are my best friend.”
A smile she could not hide spread across Xian Miaomiao’s face.
“But Miaomiao, you killed people of your own clan. Won’t that cause trouble?”
Chu Feng asked.
“No. Within the Nine Souls Sacred Clan, hierarchy is strict. Their status was lowly. This princess can kill them, and no one would dare reproach me.”
Xian Miaomiao replied confidently.
“Then why did you come here?”
Chu Feng asked curiously.
He had already realised that Xian Miaomiao had not arrived with Princess Youyou.
In other words, Xian Miaomiao had simply been passing by and happened to encounter Chu Feng.
Such a coincidence was almost unbelievable, yet it had happened.
Still, Chu Feng was curious why she was passing through this place.
“I came here looking for a secret realm.”
As she spoke, Xian Miaomiao took out a map.
Seeing that map, Chu Feng inwardly exclaimed.
Because the map in Xian Miaomiao’s hand was identical to those held by the Yu Heavenly Clan Leader and the Black-White Evils.
Only now, the route on Xian Miaomiao’s map had vanished, leaving just the three characters “Chu Hanxian”.
“But strangely, just a moment ago, the route on this secret realm map disappeared.”
Xian Miaomiao held the map and remarked with some puzzlement.
“So you came for this secret realm too.”
Chu Feng gave a meaningful smile.
He knew exactly why the route had disappeared.
The secret realm had already closed.
“Don’t tell me you came here for the same reason?”
Xian Miaomiao looked at Chu Feng.
“Yes.”
Chu Feng and Xian Miaomiao shared a bond forged through life and death. He hid nothing from her.
“My goodness, this really is fate.”
“In that case, I must properly thank this map.”
“Otherwise, I don’t know when I would have regained my memories, or when I could have seen you again.”
Xian Miaomiao sighed.
“Exactly. There’s a saying, isn’t there? If two people are fated, they will meet even a thousand miles apart.”
Chu Feng also grinned.
Back in the Ancestral Martial Lower Realm, he and Xian Miaomiao had been through a lot together.
Most of his friends from that time were trapped there because of limited talent. Seeing them again might be possible, but fighting side by side with him was no longer an option.
Meeting Xian Miaomiao here carried immense meaning for Chu Feng. Naturally, he was overjoyed.
“By the way, Chu Feng, did you find the secret realm?”
Xian Miaomiao asked.
“I did. It was in those mountains.”
“But it has already closed, which is why the route vanished from your map.”
Chu Feng explained.
“Then I was one step too late.”
“Did you meet the owner of the secret realm?”
“The one called Chu Hanxian.”
Xian Miaomiao pointed at the three characters on the map while looking at Chu Feng.
“That… no, I didn’t.”
Chu Feng shook his head.
“Sigh…”
Hearing this, Xian Miaomiao let out a long sigh, sounding slightly disappointed.
“Why don’t you ask me what treasures were inside the secret realm?”
“Instead, you’re only concerned about this Chu Hanxian?”
Chu Feng asked curiously. Something felt off. Xian Miaomiao had clearly come for the secret realm, yet she only asked about Chu Hanxian and showed no interest in anything else inside it.
“I came here precisely to find this Chu Hanxian.”
Xian Miaomiao said.
She spoke casually.
But to Chu Feng’s ears, those words sent massive waves through his heart.
Why was Xian Miaomiao looking for his grandfather?
Could she know something about his grandfather?
“Miaomiao, why are you looking for him?”
Chu Feng asked.
“Because we discovered an extremely powerful martial cultivator.”
“We want to find that cultivator.”
Xian Miaomiao replied.
“What exactly happened? Can you tell me?”
Chu Feng could not help pressing further. Anything concerning his grandfather was something he refused to miss.
“Of course. There’s nothing I can’t tell you.”
Xian Miaomiao smiled brightly.
She then recounted the whole story to Chu Feng.
Some time ago, the Nine Souls Sacred Clan had faced a calamity.
A martial cultivator from another galaxy had come looking for trouble.
That person was extraordinarily powerful, giving even the experts of the Nine Souls Sacred Clan a huge headache.
To repel the intruder, the clan sent out many of its top experts.
But while the two sides were locked in stalemate, an old lady suddenly appeared.
Any ordinary person would have fled at the sight of such a battle.
Yet the old lady walked through the sky as if she saw no one, muttering a name to herself as she went.
Most importantly, she walked very slowly.
This infuriated the cultivator who had come to challenge the Nine Souls Sacred Clan.
After shouting warnings to no avail, the intruder attacked the old lady directly.
Yet no one could have expected that this seemingly mad old woman was actually a hidden master.
Her strength was terrifying, far surpassing the intruder’s. With a single move, she reduced that cultivator to ashes, body and soul.
After defeating the intruder, however, the old lady suddenly vanished.
“What name was she muttering?”
Chu Feng hurriedly asked.
“The senior kept repeating a two-character name: Hanxian.”
Xian Miaomiao said.
“Hanxian?”
Chu Feng’s heart jolted.
“Yes. Later, someone found a clue pointing to a secret realm whose owner was called Chu Hanxian.”
“Though we can’t be certain whether this Chu Hanxian is the same ‘Hanxian’ the senior was calling for, we had to try.”
“After all, if we can find the person the senior was looking for, we might be able to locate her.”
“And that senior’s strength is unfathomable. If she could be won over to serve our Nine Souls Sacred Clan, our clan’s power would increase dramatically.”
Xian Miaomiao explained to Chu Feng.
She spoke calmly, merely relating the facts.
But inside Chu Feng, emotions surged like stormy waves, impossible to calm.
He suddenly had a strong premonition. That senior very likely knew his grandfather. She might even be his grandmother.
“Miaomiao, can you describe what that senior looked like?”
Chu Feng asked.
“Some of our clan members saw her, so we have a portrait of her.”
As she spoke, Xian Miaomiao took out a scroll and handed it to Chu Feng.
When the scroll was unrolled, Chu Feng could not help drawing a sharp breath. His heart felt as though it might leap out of his chest.
Excitement rushed from deep within him straight to his face.
“It’s really her?”
In his agitation, Chu Feng cried out.
Because the person in the portrait, Chu Feng recognised!!!
