Volume 2 - The Nine Realms of the Earth (1) Chapter 29 Triumphant Return

Venerable Qingyun looked at Chu Ran's expression was normal, not like he was lying, so he stroked his beard and nodded: "It turns out that Xiaoyou is a master of the Upper Realm, no wonder there is such a martial arts body, but the way of training disciples is really cruel, not to mention that it is extremely difficult to enter the Qingcang Realm from the Hongmeng Star Domain, and from the Nine Realms of the Earth Xuan to the Nine Realms of the Heavenly Xuan, it is really difficult for Xiaoyou." After that, he was no longer embarrassed, turned his head to Nangong and said: "Nangong nephew, this matter is over, Uncle Shi and I will go back to return to my senior brother, you will have to recuperate after you return to the royal city, remember to go to Cloud City to visit your master after a while!" ”

After saying that, Venerable Qingyun stretched out his hand a little, and the brush behind his back was suspended in front of him, and then Venerable Qingyun jumped on the brush and flew into the distance, and after a while, his kung fu was gone. In the direction where Venerable Qingyun disappeared, a loud voice came: "Chu Xiaoyou has lifted the crisis of Anlan Kingdom this time, and the deity will inform Anlan Guojun and give Xiaoyou a rich reward!" When Chu Ran heard this, his eyes lit up, and then he turned around and looked at Nangong beside him with an obscene expression: "Senior brother, do you understand, it's still a spirit stone, hehehe~"

Looking at Chu Ran's face as a profiteer, Nangong Wang shook his head helplessly, and the other people all laughed when they saw this scene, Chu Ran glanced at everyone, and spread his hands to justify: "I'm a poor person, it's not too much to ask for some spirit stones!" Everyone couldn't help but laugh, but it was also reasonable to think about it, for Chu Ran, no matter what kind of martial arts and martial arts people looked down on, only the lack of hard currency in the cultivation world - spirit stones, if it were them, they would definitely want a large number of spirit stones.

The news came back to the Anlan royal capital, and the monarch was very pleased, this time the defeat of the Wei Tuo country, Chu Ran should be the first credit, coupled with the news of the Qingyun Venerable, the monarch of Anlan attached great importance to it, and immediately sent people to the kingdom's treasury to find a suitable reward. However, when he heard that Chu Ran only needed a spirit stone, he couldn't believe it, and after the servant explained to the monarch according to Nangong Wang's request, the monarch smiled, and then waved his hand, and after Chu Ran and the others returned, they would be rewarded for their meritorious deeds, of course, the reward given to Chu Ran was the spirit stone.

Returning to the side of Fallen Leaf City, General Xia Yang rushed out of the city gate with countless soldiers, cheering and swarming in the direction where everyone was, the battle was so big that Chu Ran was startled, and thought that there had been a mutiny on his side, and when he came back to his senses, he had been thrown high by all the soldiers. Also thrown up with him were Nangong Wang and others, obviously except for Chu Ran, the others were all stunned, it was Chu Ran who obviously won the battle and shined, how could they be thrown together. However, in order not to demoralize the soldiers defending the city, a few people were helplessly thrown over by the soldiers, just let them be happy!

Despite the great victory of Anlan State in this battle, General Xia Yang, who has always been cautious, still sent spies to investigate the movements of the army of Wei Tuo, in order to prevent them from making a comeback under the leadership of other high-ranking monks, there are still five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry on the fallen leaf city wall, and the defense level is extremely strict. In the end, General Xia Yang got the news that Venerable Luoxing kept his promise and had informed Wei Tuo that all the troops had returned to the border city and that no war would be waged against Anlan for ten years.

It stands to reason that the monarch of Anlan will hold a celebration banquet for Chu Ran and others in the royal city, but the soldiers and people of Fallen Leaf City are too enthusiastic, for decades, Anlan has been suppressed by Wei Tuo, and for the first time ushered in a victory, how can he not be happy. So after asking Wang Cheng, General Xia Yang took the fathers and villagers of the whole city and held a grand front-line celebration banquet for Chu Ran and others.

The bright full moon is like a jade plate, rising and falling in the sea of clouds, and on the huge city square, countless bonfires are lit up and blazing, illuminating the whole square, and the whole city is gathered here, their faces are filled with the joy of victory, killing pigs and slaughtering cows, singing and dancing, a harmonious scene. Chu Ran and the others sat by the bonfire in the center, watching the boys and girls in the city dance, and the beef and mutton in front of them were roasted by the bonfire, and the aroma was overflowing. Eating barbecue, sipping wine, and enjoying the cheerful dance, Chu Ran couldn't help but think back to the carefree times when he was in Lanxing, at that time, it seemed that he had done something similar, but he didn't remember how long ago.

Seeing Chu Ran looking at the bonfire in a daze, Nangong Wang on the side asked, "Senior brother, are you homesick?" Chu Ran came back to his senses when he heard this, turned his head and smiled: "Yes, it's a little homesick!" Nangong Wang picked up the wine glass, patted Chu Ran's shoulder and said, "I don't know what Senior Brother's hometown is like, I am very curious about the appearance of a talent like Senior Brother!" Chu Ran picked up the wine glass, touched a glass with Nangong Wang, drank it all, and then said: "Haha~ Senior brother doesn't know, I come from a place called Blue Star in the Hongmeng Star Domain, where there are few cultivators, and more ordinary mortals. In fact, Senior Brother, I used to be a member of the mortal world, if I wasn't lucky enough to meet Shizun, I might have spent my life in such an ordinary way, until I finally settled in peace! So, Chu Ran told Nangong about the Hongmeng Star Domain where he lived, about the Blue Star who gave birth to him and raised him, and about the first half of his life as a mortal.

Although Nangong Wang had no concept of the things mentioned by Chu Ran, seeing that Chu Ran was homesick, Nangong Wang couldn't help but feel relieved. Because Chu Ran's outstanding performance had already spread in Fallen Leaf City, there were constantly people talking about Chu Ran during the banquet, which made Chu Ran very helpless, so he had to refuse one by one on the grounds that he already had a family, despite this, there were still people who expressed their willingness to be small, if it weren't for Nangong Wang's mediation, with Chu Ran's character who was not good at refusing, it was estimated that he would have to raise some little wives in the Yunqing world!

With the climax of the celebration banquet wave after wave, General Xia Yang was busy with some follow-up arrangements, and also came to the side of a few people, raised his glass and said to Chu Ran: "Chu Daoyou's strength is outstanding, and his martial arts skills are even better, the young master can have such a friend as a Taoist, it is a great luck, this time to break the crisis of Fallen Leaf City, Daoyou has made great contributions, Xia Yang is here to thank Daoyou!" With that, General Xia Yang bowed deeply to Chu Ran, and then drank all the wine in the cup. Chu Ran hurriedly helped General Xia Yang up, but saw that the general's vicissitudes of life already contained a faint layer of mist in his eyes!

The feast lasted all night and did not end until dawn, when the bonfires in the square had burned out, and the whole city had returned to their homes, leaving only a small group of soldiers to clean and tidy up the square. Chu Ran and the others also bid farewell to General Xia Yang and rode to the airport.

Because it was not as fast as before, the flying boat was already moving at a steady speed, and Chu Ran stood on the side of the boat to watch the sea of clouds churning and feel the scorching sun. After a day, in the evening, the flying boat arrived at the royal capital, Nangong Wang because of the urgent need to report to the king, so he sent servants to drive the chariot to send Chu Ran back to the Blue Mansion, before leaving, Chu Ran asked Nangong Wang not to forget the matter of the conquest order.
