Chapter 137: The Hui Lian Wu Bu's Return!

  Facing He Lian's ambiguous question, Gong Sun smiled slightly and didn't answer, without denying it, which was equivalent to admitting it.

  "This old man, at his age, still has the nerve to keep a mistress, I don't know what his soul is capable of!", He Lianuo muttered to himself, but now was not the time to dwell on this, after all, he needed something from Gong Sunyan, and no matter what, he couldn't make the other man too embarrassed.

  "Right, you're in such a hurry to call me out, what's the matter? You didn't just want to tell me that your arm is saved, did you? I already knew that the Yaoke clan had the ability to cure your arm, it's not like it's a big deal, no need to trouble an old man like me to come out, right?" Gong Sun Ran said with a sly smile, holding onto Firefly's arm.

  "Of course not, I have something very important to discuss with you! However...", He Lian Nu hesitated and glanced at Yu Huo, obviously still not quite trusting this former opponent, even though Gong Sun Jian had erased most of her memories.

  "Hey, have you forgotten what I said before? Whatever is on your mind, Yī Huǒ can sense it immediately. You have no secrets in front of her! If there's something on your mind, spit it out quickly. The current Yī Huǒ is completely trustworthy!" Gōng Sūn Ràng pulled his arm out from Yī Huǒ's embrace, and his expression gradually became much more serious.

  "Alright, the first thing is this Butterfly Seal, it's acting up especially badly today. As time accumulates, its impact on me will only get bigger and bigger. Is there any way to get rid of it? With this thing on me, I always feel so unsteady!", He Lian glanced at his left arm, a hint of worry between his eyebrows.

  "This... Although the firefly has already completely devoted itself to me, but because that butterfly mark is a suicidal secret technique, there was no way to cure it from the beginning. Even she herself didn't have a way to remove it. However, you don't need to worry too much, everything will be resolved once we reach the Yao Mu clan. The medical skills of the Yao Mu clan are far beyond your imagination!", Gong Sun Ran responded casually and lightly to He Lian Nuo's concern.

  "It seems that there's only one way to do this now! Alright, the second matter is more important. I want to move all members of the Duan Jin clan and their ancestral artifacts to the Soul Realm. Although the head of the Duan Jin clan has agreed to relocate, it's a huge problem to figure out how to settle them in the Soul Realm. The He Lian clan has many enemies, and although no one dares to make a move against me in the Holy Soul Academy, it's unrealistic to move hundreds of people from the Duan Jin clan there. I need to find a safe place for them and other tribes that may surrender in the future. I know you're very familiar with the Soul Realm, so help me think - where is a completely safe and suitable place for them to live?

  He Lian Nuo's eyebrows were furrowed deeply. Previously, he had promised to take good care of the Duan Jin clan, but that was just a tactic to stabilize Luo Fei's situation. This tactic may have worked temporarily, but it would be completely useless once the relocation of the Duan Jin clan began. That's why he came to seek help from Gong Sun Ran in such a hurry."

  "It's really hard to find a place like that, the Soul Realm is vast, but almost all the hidden locations have been occupied by those large families. The few places that are uninhabited are home to extremely powerful soul beasts, and it's not a place humans can reside in..." Gong Sun shook his head, even with his extensive knowledge, it was difficult for him to find a location in the Soul Realm that met Helian's requirements.

  "Really? I've already said it, what can be done now?" Helianuo sat down with a disappointed face, his eyes secretly glancing at Gong Sunjian's reaction.

  "You little scoundrel, have you been planning to take advantage of me all along?" Gong Sun Ran shook his head helplessly, he had already understood that He Lian Nuo had the upper hand.

  "There is, only when I was at the Holy Soul Academy, I occasionally heard my second brother mention that the Gong Sun family has a piece of land that belongs to them, it's said that it's a completely independent space, for thousands of years, except for the Gong Sun family's children, no one else has seen it. Anyway, the Gong Sun family only has you left now, so having such a large space is useless, and leaving it idle there is also a waste, why not lend it to me..." He Lian Nuoli smiled and slowly explained her intentions as she approached Gong Sun Ran's side.

  "Is that something you occasionally heard? I feel like you specifically went to ask about it. What does Helian Shuo have to do with our Gong Sun family, anyway? That space indeed exists, but why should I lend it to you?" Gong Sun Ran let out a heavy hum and ignored Helian Nuo's flattering words.

  "What benefits? What benefits do you want? You've been living in my body for so long, can't you even pay a symbolic rent? At your age, how can you still be so petty?" Helianuo glared at Gong Sunjian with annoyance and ran to the side, her face puffed up with anger.

  "Rent? Even if I lived in the most expensive inn on the mainland for a lifetime, I wouldn't need to use the ancestral land of the Gong Sun family to pay rent, would I? For thousands of years, countless people have coveted that space, but even though the Gong Sun family has declined to this point, not a single outsider has ever entered there!" Gong Sun Rang's tone suddenly became severe, clearly, he also held that space, which was almost equivalent to the symbol of the Gong Sun family, in high regard.

  He Lianuo wanted to retort, but found that he couldn't find any convincing reason. Indeed, it was a bit too much to ask someone for a piece of priceless space just like that.

  "But if you're sincere enough, I can consider your request! However, Hecleon fell silent, and Gong Sunjian's tone took a turn. "I've told you before, the direct descendants of the Gong Sun clan have dwindled to just me in this generation. It's no different from a fool's dream for me to want to revive the Gong Sun clan on my own. You promised to help me recover my physical body earlier. Now, if you agree to one more request, I'll give you that piece of space without taking a single coin!"

  "Tell me, what are your requirements? As long as it's something that can be done, I'll definitely agree to it!" Although he knew that Gongsun Yan's demands would be harsh, Helian Nuo still agreed. He had no other choice; if he wanted to summon the five tribes back, he first had to find them an absolutely safe place to settle down. Otherwise, even if they were extremely loyal to Helian, they probably wouldn't be willing to risk extinction by returning.

  "My request is actually very simple. Now that the Duanjin clan has returned to Helian, the other four clans may take some effort to persuade, but as long as you show enough sincerity, it's not difficult to convince them. With the help of the five Helian clans, your road to revival will be much smoother. To be honest, although I'm the only direct descendant of the Gongsun clan left, we were once a prominent family with many loyal subordinates and branch members. Even though the Gongsun clan has completely fallen, I believe there are still some trustworthy subordinates around. As I've become a soul body, before I recover my physical form, I'll entrust these powers to your command. In return, when the Helian clan regains its position at the top of the Youyue Peak, you must help me exterminate all those enemies who have been against me! You should think carefully, as the opponents that can rival the Gongsun clan are all extremely powerful behemoths!" Gong Sun's expression was unusually solemn, and his tone was extremely serious.

  "Is that the request? No problem, I promise you!" Contrary to Gong Sunjian's expectations, He Lianuo almost didn't hesitate and agreed straightforwardly. In fact, He Lianuo had already made up his mind long ago. The other three tribes that besieged He Lian back then were all notorious tough guys in the Soul Realm. Even if Gong Sunjian's enemies were strong, could they be compared to the ancient Three Great Sacred Tribes? Anyway, the potential opponents on He Lian's road to revival were already terrifying enough, and a few more wouldn't make a difference to He Lianuo.

  "You're still as reckless as ever!", Gong Sun let out a sigh and shook his head, not feeling any joy at all despite Helian Nuo agreeing to his request. Although Helian Nuo's talent had left him astonished, the fact remained that the enemies of the Gong Sun family were just too powerful. By proposing this condition, Gong Sun was merely trying to comfort himself.

  "Little one, the space you know of indeed exists. It was opened up by my ancestors at the cost of their lives, and through generations of expansion and refinement, it has reached an extent that is beyond your imagination. What's more, this space has multiple entrances, almost every important location on the Youyue continent has one. Of course, without the secret methods of the Gongsun family and the spatial soul power of direct descendants, those entrances would never appear. I recall that the nearest entrance to here is in the dense forest east of Zhuzao City. You can let the Duanjin tribe's people leave from there unnoticed by anyone. It won't be discovered by anyone!" After finishing his words, Gongsun Ran pulled Xinghuo Yin away and disappeared from sight. Apparently, whenever he mentioned anything related to the Gongsun family, he would become inexplicably melancholic for a long time. The decline of a once-prominent clan to its current state was indeed a regrettable thing.

  "Alright, the Duanjin clan has returned, and the settlement locations for the five departments have been found. Next, we will go summon the remaining four departments! The road to revival of the Helian clan officially begins today!" Helian Nuo clenched his fists tightly, his excitement like a tidal wave crashing against his nerves...
