Chapter 120: Conversation Between Brothers!

  Khalin was also extremely excited, having obtained the crystal nuclei of four fifth-tier soul beasts meant that all four members of this small team had already secured their admission to Holy Soul Academy. Although it didn't rule out the possibility that other teams might have completed the task before them, Khalin thought that there shouldn't be too many soul masters who could collect the crystal nuclei in such a short period of time.

  "This is a relief, are we returning to the Spirit Realm now?" Mo Fei Bai supported Lan You Ruo as they slowly walked over.

  "It's not going to work, our team of four is already extremely exhausted. If we rush on in this state and encounter any unexpected situation, I'm afraid we won't be able to cope. Let's go to the campsite and rest for a night first, and then head to the assembly point when we've more or less recovered tomorrow."

  "!", He Lianchu stood up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. The attack by the goat-bearded man had not caused him much harm, but just unleashing the Netherworld Coldfire had almost exhausted his internal soul power. The gathering point designated by the examiner was still a long distance away, and this unnamed small island was full of crises. To return safely along the original route, it was indeed necessary to conserve energy and build up strength.

  Seeing that the other three had no objection, they slowly walked back to their previously selected campsite. Lan You Rou's body had also recovered a bit, and she still went to gather firewood according to the previous arrangement. For some reason, He Lian Nuo insisted on following He Lian Shuo to go hunting, and He Lian Shuo did not object either. The two of them took their blades and quietly entered the dense forest.

  "This guy, all he knows is to slack off. Originally it was supposed to be a two-man job, now I have to do everything myself!", Mo Fei Baoyu muttered resentfully, half-heartedly clearing away the weeds with his hands.

  "You just wait a bit, looking at He Lian's heavy expression, it seems like he wants to talk to his second brother alone about something. After I finish picking up the firewood, I'll help you with it!", Lan You Ruo smiled slightly, her shallow dimples floating sweetly on her face. Mo Fei Bai heard her say this and didn't dare complain anymore, his movements also quickening.

  Just as Lan You said, Helian Ni is indeed preoccupied at this moment. He walks silently behind Helian Shuo, wanting to say something several times but not opening his mouth. Apparently, he is still preparing words in his heart.

  "Lao San, tell me, what do the two words 'He Lian' represent in your heart?", He Lian Shuo was so clever that he had already seen that his younger brother wanted to say something, and he had also guessed what He Lian Nuo wanted to say.

  "Huh? This... He Lian, previously one of the four ancient sacred tribes, had a very glorious history, but was later besieged by the other three tribes and declined hundreds of years ago. As for now, He Lian is actually in control of the Tian Shuang Empire, one of the four major empires of Yao Yue. Second brother, am I right?"

  "I didn't ask you to tell me the history of Helian, I'm asking you, what do these two words 'Helian' mean to you? What has it given you? And what are you willing to do for it?" Helian Shuo turned around, solemnly gazing at his younger brother, with an unprecedented serious expression on his face.

  What does it mean? Helian Luo lowered his head, and in fact, for this outsider, the name Helian was just a code name at first. He couldn't find any sense of belonging from it and didn't think he should do anything for it. Until after the Tian Shuang shocking change, Helian Zong risked his life to take revenge, Nan Huan Yue even used her life as a shield for him. In the nine years in the You Yue Forest, Helian Shang was constantly instilling everything about Helian into him. Helian Luo had thought he had completely integrated into Helian, but now when Helian Suo asked him what position the two words "Helian" occupied in his heart, he couldn't answer again.

  。

  "The two words 'He Lian' are a lifelong creed for me and my brother He Lian Po. We are willing to sacrifice our youth and blood for it, we don't fear sacrifice, nor do we care about danger. Honestly, Father has already decided to let the He Lian clan return to the Soul Realm, but with just the three of us, it's still far from enough. I'm asking you now, are you willing, like us, to abandon everything for He Lian and never regret it until death?"

  "Yes, I'm willing! Even if it's death, I will make the revival of Helian my lifelong pursuit!" Helian Nuo finally lifted his head and said decisively. His previous hesitation was only because he didn't understand Helian Shuo's thoughts. Now that Helian Shuo had shouted out the slogan of reviving Helian, he naturally wouldn't refuse. In fact, since Nan Huan Yue jumped into the lake for him, Helian Nuo had already made up his mind to restore Helian's glory. His dream was to expel the Tang family from Tian Xiang, but now that Tian Xiang was under Helian's control, letting the Helian clan return to the Soul Realm became Helian Nuo's next goal!

  Even if it weren't for Nan Huang Yue, He Lian Nu would still resolutely embark on the path of reviving He Lian. He hasn't forgotten the excitement he felt when Luo Tian saw him. Although the He Lian clan has declined for hundreds of years, the former He Lian Five Branches still haven't changed their loyalty to He Lian. After hundreds of years of waiting, it's time to give some reassurance to those who have been guarding and waiting for He Lian!

  Upon hearing Helian Nuo's words, Helian Zhuo couldn't contain his excitement and slapped his younger brother's shoulder with a loud "Good! Father, big brother, I, plus third brother you, we may only have four people, but we will fight to the death to restore the glory of the Helian family from 100 years ago. This was also grandfather's greatest dream before he passed away! Now it's settled, us three brothers can finally work together towards a common goal! Third brother, we must trample those who look down on the Helians under our feet!

  "By the way, big brother, I heard that before Mountain Goat's death, you guys have already started making moves to return to the Soul Realm? What's going on with the Nether Ice?" After his excitement subsided, Helian No gradually regained his composure and asked the questions he had been holding back since everything was now out in the open.

  "What you said is right, from the moment big brother was specially recruited into Sacred Soul Academy several years ago, the plan for the revival of the He Lian clan had already begun to be implemented. Although it's only been a short few years, big brother has successfully established his own power within the academy, which will become an important force in our future revival. I'm entering Sacred Soul Academy now also to continue consolidating this power. Although this method will take effect slowly, there's no other way - the He Lian clan's former power is all gone, and the soul realm is a completely unfamiliar domain for us. We can only plan step by step."

  As for the Yu Ming Xuan Bing, in fact, we never lost it, but sealed it in a very secret place in the Soul Realm. A few years ago, when Big Brother first came to the Soul Realm, he happened to retrieve it. The power of the Yu Ming Xuan Bing is still very strong. If you're interested, I can ask Big Brother to teach you how to control them in the future," He Lian Shuo regained his calm demeanor and slowly told He Lian Nuo about the progress of the He Lian clan's return to the Soul Realm over the past few years.

  He Lian nodded, he actually didn't have much interest in the mysterious and profound ice, just the Tian Xuan Nine Transformations was enough for him to cultivate, although the mysterious and profound ice was powerful, he knew that being greedy would lead to trouble, as long as he could master the Tian Xuan Nine Transformations, it was enough.

  "By the way, Second Brother, have you ever heard of the He Lian Five Divisions?" After a moment's thought, He Lian Nuo suddenly remembered Luo Tian. The Duan Jin clan was extremely loyal to the He Lian clan. If they could make good use of their power, then the pace of reviving the He Lian clan should be able to speed up quite a bit.

  "Who are the He Lian Five Branches? I've naturally heard of them, they were the loyal subordinates of the He Lian clan during its heyday. It's said that each branch has extraordinary strength and their own unique abilities, they were a great help to our clan standing tall at the peak of the Demon Moon. However, after our ancestor Wu Shuang entered the mortal world, these five branches seem to have left on their own. We've also searched for them before, but unfortunately, we couldn't find any clues!" He Lian Xiao let out a long sigh, his expression somewhat melancholic, it's clear that he's also disappointed about not being able to obtain the assistance of the He Lian Five Branches.

  "It's indeed the case! The Helián clan may have declined, but they still have some reputation in the secular world. The Duanjin clan who entered the secular world can't be unaware of their existence. The reason they didn't rush to surrender is probably because the Helián descendants didn't obtain the complete Tianlang Sacred Seal!", Helián Nuó muttered to himself, hesitating whether or not to tell his second brother about encountering the Duanjin clan.

  "Lao San, what's wrong with you? Is there something on your mind?" Seeing He Lianuo lowering his head for a long time without making a sound, He Lianshu couldn't help but feel some worry.

  "Ah, nothing, Second Brother, I have something important to tell you, but you must promise me not to mention this to anyone outside of the Helian clan!", Helian Nuo's expression was solemn, he knew that on the continent there were countless powerful opponents who coveted the Helian Five Treasures, if those with ulterior motives were to find out about the Duanjin clan's news, it would undoubtedly bring chaos.

  Although he didn't know what Helian Nuo was going to say, Helian Shu still nodded.

  "In the Empire of Giant Trees, I once met an old man named Luo Tian who claimed to be the elder of the Helian Wu Bu Duan Jin clan and had surrendered to me!", He Lian Nuo hesitated for a moment before speaking out, as he had always been very honest with He Lian Shuo and didn't want to hide anything.
