Eternal Tale

In just half an hour.

A treasure ship appeared in the sky as if by teleportation, surrounded by swirling clouds and radiant lights.

A Unity True Lord overlooked the desolate island, where the elemental energy was chaotic and space distorted—clearly a battlefield.

His eyes narrowed slightly as a formation diagram spread out in the air, revealing lines of energy above the sea.

More and more beings from various races gathered around, numbering in the hundreds.

They employed various methods, tracing the lines of elemental energy, searching for something unknown.

Despite the swirling dust and smoke over the sea, their expressions remained calm, showing no shock upon receiving news of the fall of ten Flood Dragons of the Eight Veins. They simply continued their tasks.

This Unity True Lord’s methods were clearly different from the leader who went to Trash Island, both in temperament and combat power.

He shook his head slightly; the criminals had been rescued, but the traces left behind were numerous, indicating haste and panic.

His gaze slowly turned to a figure sitting cross-legged on the desolate island, and he spoke:”Dongxuan Dao Academy’s Daoist, Mo Ye Han.”

”That’s me, greetings, senior.”

Mo Ye Han rose slowly, a roguish smile on his lips. ”This matter has nothing to do with me, so there’s no need to ask me anything. My answer is always ’I don’t know.’”

The Unity True Lord was named Ji Guang, not from the Li Chen Immortal Palace, but from the Celestial Palace on Xuanfeng Island.

The criminals had been discovered on the islands surrounding Xuanfeng Island.

Ji Guang’s eyes flashed with understanding, as if that single sentence revealed much of the cause and effect.

If this person dared to be here, it surely wasn’t his doing, and the Celestial Palace indeed couldn’t act forcefully against such a person.

Especially in this grand world, where everyone was a cultivator, there had never been any wrongful convictions.

The causes and effects, the masterminds behind the scenes, everything would be thoroughly investigated.

Ji Guang’s expression remained unchanged as he spoke calmly, ”It seems Mo Gongzi is determined to challenge the Celestial Palace’s authority. In that case, there’s no need for us to stay here.”

He glanced at the sea, suspecting that Mo Ye Han might have tampered with the traces around.

This matter had become somewhat troublesome due to this prodigy’s interference.

”Haha, senior, you’re overestimating me. I wouldn’t dare to lightly challenge the Celestial Palace’s authority, but I truly wasn’t involved in this matter and don’t know the cause and effect. I was merely in a battle with a fellow Daoist.”

Mo Ye Han laughed with his hands behind his back, showing no respect for the senior. Mere Unity realm? If he wished, he could enter it!

Everyone, including Ji Guang, frowned at his words, wondering if this young man was too arrogant.

But if he truly wasn’t involved, they indeed had no means to deal with him.

Without the Celestial Palace’s backing, their status was inferior to this prodigy.

If he were to visit Xuanfeng Celestial Palace, many would have to bow to him.

Ji Guang’s smile was forced as he spoke calmly, ”Ten Void Refinement phase Flood Dragons have fallen, representing not just Xuanfeng Celestial Palace, but the foremost of all palaces, Xuanwei Celestial Palace. Mo Gongzi... this matter isn’t something you can easily handle.”

Mo Ye Han’s heart tightened at these words, understanding their implication. Rescuing people was a minor issue, but killing was a major one.

Not only Xuanwei Celestial Palace, but even the Flood Dragon clan of the Eight Veins wouldn’t let this go easily.

Both sides fell silent, with Mo Ye Han standing on the ruined desolate island, his clothes fluttering, yet his eyes were resolute.

Suddenly, Mo Ye Han spoke word by word, ”This matter has nothing to do with me, and I don’t know what happened. I don’t even have any memory of their faces in my soul.”

He finished with an expression that seemed to say, ”What can you do to me?” His roguish smile remained, full of confidence.

Ji Guang didn’t respond to him but looked around, speaking in a deep voice, ”Did anyone record the energy signature? We need to provide an explanation now; the rest will be left to the seniors. The resistance is too great.”

”The energy signature is chaotic, already destroyed. With our current abilities, we can’t restore it, but it has been recorded. The scenes of the fallen Flood Dragons are being traced back within the Flood Dragon clan of the Eight Veins.”

”Though incomplete, at least we can find the one who acted from the remnants of their souls. If this Mo Gongzi was involved even a little, the matter would escalate, and the Mo family should prepare to be summoned to the Celestial Palace for questioning.”

Several cold, calm voices spoke, not transmitting the message but saying it openly in front of Mo Ye Han, as if speaking directly to him.

To be honest, the Xuanwei Celestial Palace hadn’t even lifted a finger for this operation. It was merely a hundred or so highest Divine Transformation phase cultivators, casually ordered to pursue until the energy signature completely vanished.

If this matter truly escalated, and Xuanwei Celestial Palace issued another order, even the Mo family on the Southern Yu Continent would have to contribute.

Of course, those who came would no longer be Unity True Lords.

Great Ascension Venerables have indeed eliminated Divine Transformation phase fugitives in such vast ages.

However, as soon as they finished speaking, a golden ancient war spear pierced through the sky, crossing over with immense power, causing the elemental energy to tremble in the air, and instantly stabbed into the person who spoke of the Mo family!

This scene shocked everyone, as it happened right in front of Ji Guang, who didn’t even try to stop it!

Mo Ye Han rose into the air, his cold gaze fixed on the person who spat blood and retreated, ”How dare you! The name of the Mo family is not something a nameless junior like you can casually mention!”

His domineering voice echoed through the sky, and the golden ancient war spear returned to his hand in the blink of an eye.

Mo Ye Han held the war spear, brazenly pointing it at the distant treasure shuttle, ”Dare to be insolent again, and there will be no place for you on the Southern Yu Continent!”

”Mo Gongzi... forgive me!” The person, pierced by the war spear, blood gushing like a fountain, stood in mid-air, painfully begging for mercy, eyes filled with absolute fear.

Working for Xuanwei Celestial Palace, he had become somewhat arrogant, saying such words, even with Ji Guang beside him, couldn’t protect him.

Ji Guang’s expression was no longer calm but increasingly solemn. Mo Ye Han’s words were true.

As long as it didn’t involve this matter, they couldn’t afford to offend the Mo family, so he merely watched.

However, his thoughts were no longer on Mo Ye Han. To kill ten Void Refinement phase Flood Dragons in such a short time and rescue those fugitives, he naturally wouldn’t lead people to their deaths.

Boom~~

Suddenly, a celestial curtain unfolded behind the treasure ship, a gust of wind rising, as if the heavens and earth were about to be torn apart.

With a loud roar, majestic and imposing figures stepped through the spatial passage.

”Greetings, Flood Dragon Venerable!”

”Greetings, Flood Dragon Venerable!”

...

Everyone bowed, including Ji Guang and Mo Ye Han, the latter feeling anxious.

Slaying ten Void Refinement phase Flood Dragons, who were aiding Xuanwei Celestial Palace, had indeed escalated the matter...

The Flood Dragon Venerable’s massive dragon head overlooked everything, incredibly sharp.

Its aura surged toward Mo Ye Han, speaking coldly, ”Mo boy, who acted? This is your chance; it’s not difficult to investigate.”

The surrounding Flood Dragons of the Eight Veins glared at the chaotic sea, having received the news the moment the ten Flood Dragons fell.

Even though separated by thousands of miles, they arrived within half an hour, their speed terrifying.

Ji Guang raised his head slightly, his heart trembling. This wasn’t a threat but an attempt to completely absolve Mo Ye Han from this matter!
