After 15 minutes of super fast narration of his situation, he stopped. He took a deep breath and said-
"And after that, I am here.. with you."
Zhurong, who was listening while closing his eyes, fell into a deep thought. After a minute, he opened his eyes and sighed.
" So, Your Clestial Blade was cursed and it took you inside itself for many years before you mysteriously came out and realized that it had absorbed most of your bitter cultivation. Then, when you came out you found out that The Peak sect, of which you were an Ancestor, betrayed you under that Qin Ancestor. There were, however, still some people loyal to you but they were held as prisoners and were to be killed today, so you decided to save them. Then there is..umm What was his name again?
"Wang Li."
"Ahh.. Wang-"
He suddenly stopped, and looked at Xian Li as if he had seen a ghost.
"Did..Did you just say... WANG LI?!?!"
Seeing such reaction from Zhurong surprised Xian Li. He answered normally-
"Yes. Is there any problem with it?"
Zhurong looked at him as if looking at an innocent child who knew nothing about this world. He sighed and shook his head.
"No... nothing."
Though Xian Li wanted to know about Wang Li, he decided not to ask, seeing Zhurong not wanting to answer.
"There must be something that, that kid didn't tell me about himself. I'll just ask him when I return back.."
Xian Li though inwardly.
"So, can you help me to go back to Immortal Realm, Elder?"
Xian Li asked.
Zhurong fell into another long train of thoughts for about 4 minutes before finally giving his answer. And that answer was-
He nodded!
"Fine, I'll help you."
Heaing the answer, Xian Li couldn't contain his excitment.
"Really?! Do you have a way to get me back to The Immortal Realm?''
"Sigh. I have a way but-"
"But what?" Xian Li's expression turned solemn after hearing 'but'.
"But I have to sacrifice my cultivation. I have to transfer most, if not all, of my cultivation to you so you can gather enough strength to Ascend in The Immortal Realm. But you may still have to challenge the Heavenly Tribulation, though there is a chance that The Heavenly Tribulation may not trigger. But-"
"Now what?"
"But you will be at the bottom and will not have enough strength to do survive there, let alone save someone from an Ancestor of The Peak Sect."
"Is there no other way?"
Zhurong shook his head.
Then, there was an period of awkward silence for a few moments before Xian Li finally spoke-
"You said something about that kid Wang Li, What about him? What do I not know about him?"
Zhurong stared at him before finally agreeing to tell.
"Do you know about The Abyssal Court?"
"Not much. Just that they are a secret cult of exiled Immortals who now l ive in seculsion. And their Head, The Nameless Monarch, about whom nobody know whether he is still alive or not, right?"
"Yes. They use forbidden techniques and can use soul transference technique. They were once the glorious guardians of The Immortal Realm but were betrayed by its own people. Even after that, they didn't take revenge and stayed silent. And the head of those guardians, later known as The Nameless Monarch, is the head of The Abyssal Court."
"What does it have to do with Wang Li?"
Xian Li interrupted.
"I am coming to that. So, his name was Wang Li. I believe that the one who helped you is none other than the reincarnation of the Nameless Monarch, Wang Li."
"0_0...Wang Li is.... WHO!?!
