Chapter 1370: Revealing One's Hands
Elder Tong Xuan's body moved as he watched Hun Lin's two-man team grow distant. He appeared in front of Xun Er and asked, "Xun Er, are you alright?"
Xun Er shook her head. Xiao Yan beside her hesitated for a moment before cupping his hands together and asking, "Elder Tong Xuan, may I know where the Little Fairy Doctor's group is now?"
"They left three months after you entered the Heavenly Tomb. It is likely that they returned to the Falling Star Pavilion. However, they did not explain what happened. All they said is to inform you to swiftly return to the Falling Star Pavilion once you come out." Eler Xuan Tong thought for a moment before replying.
Xiao Yan frowned when he heard this. He immediately nodded and hesitated for a moment. Finally, he faced Xun Er and said, "It seems that something has indeed happened. This time around, I will not remain in the Gu clan for long. Are you leaving with me this time?"
Xun Er hesitated for a moment when she heard this. She was just about to nod her head when Elder Tong Xuan by the side hurriedly said, "Xun Er, there have been some big matters in the Gu clan recently. After a discussion by the Elders, you must not leave the Gu Realm."
"What happened?" Xun Er knit her brows as she asked.
Elder Tong Xuan hesitated for a moment. He glanced at Xiao Yan. He was just about to say something when Xun Er indifferently said, "Elder Tong Xuan, just say what you have to say. There are no outsiders here."
Elder Tong Xuan could only helplessly nod his head when he heard Xun Er's words. He softly answered, "The Ling realm has suddenly been shut..."
"Ling Realm? Shut?" Xiao Yan and Xun Er were startled. Xun Er's expression immediately changed.
"It's the Ling clan?" Xiao Yan mused for a moment when he saw the change in Xun Er's expression. He came to an understanding. This Ling Realm was likely the realm where the Ling clan, which was one of the eight ancient clans, resided.
"Why was the Ling Realm suddenly shut? No wonder the Ling clan did not send anyone to the Heavenly Tomb this time around..." Xun Er knit her brows as she spoke.
"We have no idea. We have dispatched experts to investigate, but we have failed to obtain even the slightest news. The space where the Ling Realm was originally located has completely disappeared. Even after some Elders within the clan went to probe, they were unable to discover anything... that manner is as though the Ling Realm has been completely hidden." Elder Tong Xuan frowned as he explained the situation. Clearly, this unusual matter was really baffling.
"Sealing the realm and hiding it. They would definitely not do this unless they meet with an extremely big matter. Could it be that the Ling clan has met with a trouble so large that even they are unable to resolve it?" Xun Er softly muttered.
"I am not certain about this. Although the Ling clan has been showing signs of declining during these years and had seldom come into contact with us, they still possess an extremely rich foundation. Even the Gu clan, being another of the eight ancient clan, would have difficulty forcing them into such a state..." Elder Tong Xuan's brows contained some worry as he continued, "Clan head and the rest are doing their best to investigate this matter. If the Ling clan has really met with some catastrophe, we will have to take additional precaution. Hence, I'm afraid that you will not be able to leave the Gu Realm during this period of time..."
Xun Er curled her little mouth. Her face had become a little grave. This was the first time in many years that an ancient clan had actually sealed their realm to hide themselves. This kind of unexpected matter caused one's heart to become a little heavy.
