Chapter 21 Retreat Again

"The children are all here! They're all safe!"

Li Daoxuan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the children were accounted for, he believed his wife should be safe for the moment.

"By the way, did you find any signs of a struggle at home?"

"No," Qing Xuan replied with disappointment. "There was no disturbance that I could detect at my Gold Core cultivation level. I suspect Sister Su might have been kidnapped."

"The person who took her is at least at the Nascent Soul cultivation level or higher."

Li Daoxuan asked more questions and meticulously searched the entire Li residence, but found no clues.

He felt a sense of helplessness. He had been careless lately.

Trying to reassure himself, Li Daoxuan said, "If there was no struggle, it suggests that You Ruo might not be in immediate danger."

"I also suspect that You Ruo went willingly with whoever took her."

"How is that possible?" Qing Xuan exclaimed in surprise.

Zi Ling was equally puzzled.

Li Daoxuan sighed and explained, "You don't know You Ruo as well as I do. She's not an ordinary person."

"She used to be a powerful cultivator."

"But her enemies are even more formidable."

Li Daoxuan then recounted how he had met Su Youruo.

Qing Xuan and Zi Ling were shocked by his account.

In frustration, Qing Xuan said, "Senior Brother, should I return to the sect?"

"Return to the sect?"

"Yes! I can request reinforcements!"

"My grandfather dotes on me the most. If I tell him his granddaughter is in trouble, he'll come out of seclusion."

Li Daoxuan quickly shook his head to stop her. Qing Xuan's grandfather was the Elder Supreme of the Heavenly Dao Sect and had secluded himself for a long time. He couldn't be disturbed easily.

And Li Daoxuan feared that if the old man came out of seclusion, he might strike him down with a single blow.

"It's better not to disturb him."

Refusing to give up, Qing Xuan persisted, "Senior Brother, I have another idea!"

"What idea?"

Excitedly, Qing Xuan said, "Have you heard of the Haotian Mirror, the Innate Spiritual Treasure?"

"The Haotian Mirror?"

"Yes! It's our sect's treasure and a symbol of the sect leader's authority."

"I haven't heard of it. Is it powerful?"

Qing Xuan rolled her eyes. "It's not just powerful, it's extremely potent."

"The Haotian Mirror is in the possession of the sect leader and possesses numerous extraordinary functions."

"Using it can enable you to confront higher-level opponents and even surpass major realms!"

Li Daoxuan couldn't help but gasp. It seemed the Heavenly Dao Sect had a formidable foundation.

Qing Xuan continued proudly, "The Haotian Mirror also has a time regression function. With sufficient spiritual power, it can view events from the distant past."

"Incredible!"

Li Daoxuan was genuinely tempted now, but he asked, "Isn't the Haotian Mirror incredibly precious? Can anyone use it?"

Qing Xuan smiled mischievously. "Ordinary people can't, but I can!"
