Chapter 152: Returning to Your Hometown Gloriously, You Are the Hope of the Whole Vige


    Mo Ying stood at the edge of the cliff, watching the receding figures of Li Jiaojiao and Jia Yn, feeling inexplicably worried.


    Ye Feng stood by her side, gently waving his Banana Fan, and said, “With Brother thead there, as long as they don’t encounter anyone above the thirdyer of the Element Gathering Realm, there shouldn’t be any problems. That puts my mind at ease.”


    “Sect Master Uncle, I wish to leave the mountain to gain experience,” Huo Yunjie, with the Cold Light Sword on his back, came over and requested.


    “We’re going to the Divine Wind Sword Sect in ten days. Do you have enough time if you go out for training now?” Ye Feng was a bit concerned.


    “Don’t worry, Sect Leader. I’ll head south for my training journey and will definitely arrive on time in the area where the Divine Wind Sword Sect is located,” Huo Yunjie assured.


    “Alright then,” Ye Feng nodded.


    Soon after, Huo Yunjie took some Healing Pills and filled arge bottle with Spirit Spring Water, then left Misty Peak on his Flying Sword.


    Mo Ying sat cross-legged beside the Spiritual Spring, continuously umting her cultivation level, preparing to attempt to break through to the Element Gathering Realm after some time.


    Qiao Jiaxi was still enduring the grueling task of carrying a massive rock on his back and performing frog jumps around the peak’s summit. He had to persist for more than three thousand times before he could break through to the fourthyer of Body Refinement.


    Because Qiao Jiaxi was shouldering the weight of the rock, every dozen jumps would leave his whole body aching from the pressure, requiring breaks now and then to continue his cultivation.


    Looking at his disciples, who were all diligently training, Ye Feng scanned around once more, making sure no one woulde to disturb him, and thenfortablyy down.


    On the back of the Iron w Dragon Eagle.


    Jia Yn and Li Jiaojiao looked at the rivers and mountains below, once again appreciating the allure of nature.


    “Jiaojiao, is your home very far away?” Jia Yn asked.


    “It’s more than a hundred miles southwest of Whitefloat City, a full two hundred miles from Misty Peak. It’s quite far,” Li Jiaojiao said.


    “Two hundred miles… that is pretty far. How did you get to Misty Peak before?” Jia Yn was a bit curious.


    “A few years ago, the Old Sect Leader found me and took me back to Misty Peak on the Xuan Ye Flying Sword.” Mentioning the Old Sect Leader made Li Jiaojiao’s expression turn somber.


    Jia Yn noticed Li Jiaojiao’s mood and quickly changed the topic: “Speaking of which, how could your family bear to let a girl like you take the path of cultivation?”


    Li Jiaojiao’s bright, clear eyes seemed to sparkle as if she were lost in her memories, proudly saying:


    “That year, a crazed wild beast appeared near our mountain vige, hurting many innocent vigers. It was the Old Sect Leader who came from the west with a single sword strike, ying the beast. He was revered by all the vigers as a Divine Spirit, so they all supported me in following the Old Sect Leader up the mountain to cultivate.”


    Hearing about Li Jiaojiao’s past, Jia Yn nodded slightly.


    “Senior Sister Jiaojiao, now that you’ve reached the seventhyer of Qi Refinement, you’ll definitely make everyone in the vige proud,” Jia Yn said, clenching her fist.


    “Mm-hmm,” Li Jiaojiao nodded, gazing into the distance at the range of mountains hundreds of miles away, her emotions gradually bing excited.


    It’s been three years since I’ve been home!


    Vigers, do you know what these three years have been like for me?


    Li Jiaojiao, filled with anticipation, nervously clenched her fists.


    The Little White Fox curled up in Li Jiaojiao’s arms, deeply asleep, while Brother thead stood on the back of the Iron w Dragon Eagle, making an embrace with his arms, his red embroidered bellyband cloak pping in the wind.


    Jia Yn caught a glimpse from the corner of her eye and nearly burst outughing.


    An hourter. N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Li Jiaojiao pointed excitedly at a valley with beautiful mountains and clear waters below, “We’re here, this is my hometown, Qingling Vige!”


    “It’s actually situated on the fringes of the Taiyue Mountain Range. The people in your vige have big hearts!” Jia Yn’s expression changed slightly.


    The Taiyue Mountain Range extended from north to south, located a hundred miles west of Whitefloat City, farrger than the Nanlu Mountain Range. It was rumored to be overseen by a Demon General, although even Jia Yn wasn’t sure if it was true.


    Qingling Vige was built on the eastern fringe of the Taiyue Mountain Range, and the fact that it had survived to the present made Jia Yn wonder whether it was luck or simply astonishing.


    At that moment, at the entrance to Qingling Vige.


    An amiable grandma was washing clothes by the creek, and when she looked up, she suddenly saw a giant eagle plummeting from the sky, bearing two delicate young women on its back. Her eyes widened in astonishment.


    “Ah, the King of Hell has sent little immortal fairies to fetch me!”


    Having said that, Granny copsed to the ground, but after a moment, she realized she was still conscious. She quickly stood up and saw that the two fairy-like young women were already standing across the creek.


    “Granny Wang!”


    Li Jiaojiao shouted excitedly and rushed over.


    “It’s Jiaojiao, isn’t it!” Granny Wang’s eyes moistened, and she quickly sized up Li Jiaojiao. “Oh my, it’s been over a dozen years, and Jiaojiao is still as young and beautiful as ever, truly worthy of being an immortal fairy!”


    Li Jiaojiao’s cheeks turned red: “Granny Wang, you’ve got it wrong again. It’s only been three years since I left home.”


    “I’ve be forgetful in my old age!” Granny Wang smacked her forehead, then turned to gaze at Jia Yn, whom she found as stunning as the legendary immortal fairies. After her astonishment, she noticed the huge Iron w Dragon Eagle, and her eyes lit up, “Jiaojiao, if you’vee back, why bring such a big rooster with you? It’s enough to feed the whole vige for several days!”


    The Iron w Dragon Eagle, mistakingly considered a giant rooster, cried out indignantly, drawing the attention of the entire vige.


    “The beast is attacking, get your bows and arrows!”


    “Little Wu, fetch me my axe!”


    The vigers of Qingling Vige were all very fierce. In no time at all, they came charging out, each bearing “weapons” like axes, sickles, manure shovels, and hoes, much to Jia Yn’s astonishment.


    “Dad, Mom, fellow vigers, it’s me!”


    Li Jiaojiao waved her hands and shouted loudly. The hundreds of people from Qingling Vige who were rushing over immediately stopped in their tracks and stared at Li Jiaojiao, dressed in white and with an ethereal aura. They all stood there dumbfounded.


    “The immortal fairy has returned!”


    “Our vige’s only immortal fairy hase back!”


    “What? Jiaojiao has be an immortal? Quick, set up a feast, eight people to a table, I’ll sit at the children’s table!”


    The news spread, bing more and more preposterous.


    The vigers of Qingling Vige held their axes, manure shovels, and hoes, cheering and dancing joyfully, celebrating the return of Li Jiaojiao to her hometown with song and dance.


    “Jiaojiao, you’ve finallye back!” A kind-hearted woman embraced Li Jiaojiao, with a robust man standing beside her, smiling broadly to reveal two rows of big white teeth.


    These were Li Jiaojiao’s parents.


    “Dad, Mom, this is my… Senior Sister, Jia Yn. This is Little White Fox, that one is Brother thead, and thisrgest one is not a rooster, but our Flying Spirit Beast, the Iron w Dragon Eagle, quite formidable indeed!”


    Li Jiaojiao quickly introduced everyone to the vigers of Qingling Vige, intentionally calling the older Jia Yn her Senior Sister.


    “Quick, quick, give the immortal fairies the best seats!” An elderly man with a spirited look, leaning on a walking stick, approached, waving his arms. The vigers immediately obeyed, showing great respect.


    “Vige Chief Grandpa!” Li Jiaojiao immediately took the old man’s hand and led Jia Yn and the group into the vige, where they sat inside a stone house.


    Hundreds of vigers gathered outside, marveling at the majestic Iron w Dragon Eagle. They all looked amazed, secretly thinking that this must be what a divine beast looked like.


    However, when they saw Brother thead draped in a red embroidered apron, everyone felt as if the artistic style had copsed.


    “Come on, it’s about to start!”


    The old vige chief, supporting himself with his walking stick, stood in front of the stone house waving his hand. The vigers hastened their actions, and soon, they had prepared many steaming dishes.


    Jia Yn stepped out of the stone house, her garments fluttering, her aura ethereal, giving people the feeling of an immortal descending to earth. The vigers all looked on with envy.


    “What a long table!”


    Jia Yn noticed that on the stone path in front of the stone house, dozens of natural wood-colored square tables had been joined together to form a long table dozens of meters in length, covered with an array of dishes. She quietly appreciated how high the quality of life in Qingling Vige must be, no wonder Li Jiaojiao was so lovely.


    “Ready, everyone,e and see!”


    Just then, several stonemasons from the vige carried a stone stele and ced it in front of the stone house, drawing everyone’s attention.
