Can't Afford to Offend My Scheming Disciple

207. The Emergency

Translator: Helene

Li said slowly, “That day, I went back to Bamboo Peak after I finished my work. Elder Qing Dan came to see me, and he brought me here as he needed my help. However, I didn’t have to chance to tell you, so I thought of explaining to you after I finish the work here and go back to Cultivation World.”

“You can’t come here as you like. Father, how did you arrive here?” Li was certain that this place was not accessible, so he planned to explain to Zhuo Hua after he went back. To his surprise, Zhuo Hua, Kaka and Nan Chen had come.

“I accidentally touched the array in Elder Qing Dan’s room, and here I was before I noticed it.” Zhuo Hua rubbed his nose. No one but he had touched the array that day. However, it was good that the array brought him here coincidentally.

“I returned to my tribe. The land of relics happens to have this array.” Kaka explained how he got here.

Everyone turned to stare at Nan Chen.

“I separated my soul from my body,” Nan Chen said curtly how he got here.

Chu Ze gasped. It was easy to talk about it, but it was exceptional pain to separate the soul from the body. Ordinary people wouldn’t survive it.

Why did this man say lightly, as if he was not the one who separated his soul from his body?

Knowing that Nan Chen had experience the pain to come here, Zhuo Hua felt a pang in his heart. He held Nan Chen’s hand tighter.

Nan Chen touched Zhuo Hua’s hand and soothed him that he was fine.

“In this case, why didn’t Elder Qing Dan tell us clearly before he took Li away? Even if it happened suddenly, there was always time for a word.” Although he knew that Li was not in danger, Zhuo Hua felt upset after he knew that Nan Chen had suffered for this.

He used to be forgiving, but he felt angry when he thought of Nan Chen.

Qing Dan smiled awkwardly. “I’ve been in Cultivation World for too long to remember the time in Purgatory City. The palace sent someone to tell me that the Nether King Festival was about to begin, I had no choice but to bring the Ghost Emperor to Purgatory City in a hurry. That was why I failed to inform you.”

“I’m very sorry for this.” Qing Dan took a step back and bent down slightly.

Zhuo Hua felt that it was not proper to scold anyone now.

“Speaking of Nether King Festival, what can Li help you?”

Qing Dan sighed. “I believe that you have learned about the festival in the past two days. On the day of the festival, and Nether King would show up and bring blessings to the citizens of Purgatory City.”

“But ten thousand years ago, the king fell unconscious overnight. Chu Ze and I used every means to keep this as a secret and maintain the peace in Purgatory City for thousands of years. Chu Ze stayed in Purgatory City and I went to Cultivation World, looking for ways to save the king.”

“Not long ago, I learned that the power of the Ghost Emperor and the Nether King comes from the same origin. I was thinking of asking for the help of the Ghost Emperor after the Human and Ghost had completely settled the conflicts. Somehow, I was suddenly informed that the Nether King Festival was approaching. I had been in Cultivation World for too long to determine the specific date of the festival, so I brought the Ghost Emperor to the Purgatory City in a hurry.
