Protect Our Clan Leader

Chapter 2733: Chapter 4: When Bao Sheng Meets Yin Lingzhu (3)

”You are quite clever.” The white-robed noble looked at Wu Hailong with a hint of surprise.

”You jest, my lord,” Wu Hailong responded with a sheepish grin, flattering, ”I may lack power and skills, but I’ve roamed the martial world long enough to encounter many people. Yet, I’ve never met anyone with such extraordinary elegance and noble demeanor as you. Even the Crown Princess Qingyang falls far short in comparison.”

The young lady appeared even younger than the Crown Princess Qingyang, yet her aura and pressure made even someone like Wu Hailong, in the Transcendent Void Realm, feel suffocated and oppressed. Clearly, she was no ordinary person, and as for the elder following behind her, there was no need to even mention...

The ancestors of the Immortal Clan he had encountered exuded an imposing presence, but none could surpass this elder.

And yet, this elder presented himself as subservient to the lady, indicating her identity and status were beyond what Wu Hailong could dare to imagine.

However, since she was disguised as a man, he naturally had no interest or courage to expose her.

”Forget it,” the white-robed noble said indifferently, ”I came here to ask you about your experiences in the Endless Heavenly Abyss. I heard you saw a giant dark-golden seal, like a mountain, within it? It was because it struck you that you managed to escape the space shards and flee the Endless Abyss?”

Wu Hailong had bragged about this version countless times, in front of others, sober or drunk, always describing it as miraculous. However, listeners only took it as fanciful boasting, thinking he concocted such a story about an exotic treasure to glorify himself.

After all, no one would venture into the Endless Abyss to verify the story, not even Emperor Tianrui dared to go deep, fearing a journey of no return.

”To be honest, my lord, I only vaguely saw the giant dark-golden seal from afar,” Wu Hailong said with a dry laugh, wiping cold sweat, ”I was merely lucky to be swept out by a storm, definitely not saved by the seal.”

The white-robed noble wasn’t offended, instead, her eyes lit up, ”So you did see the dark-golden seal? Tell me specifically what it looked like?”

Then, the white-robed noble rapidly asked several crucial details.

Wu Hailong tried hard to recall the details, honestly speaking of what he knew, and claiming ignorance where he didn’t, with absolute sincerity.

As to why the noble was so interested in these details, he didn’t dare to ask a single extra word.

The more you know, the faster you die. To survive well, you must not ask what shouldn’t be asked. This was one of the secrets to his safe survival in the Turbulent Sea over the years.

After some thorough questioning, three features seemed to match.

”Good, good, good!” The white-robed noble couldn’t contain her delight, ”Wu Hailong, you did well. This is your reward.”

With that, she casually flicked a jade bottle.

Wu Hailong opened the jade bottle to see it contained a wisp of the Chaos Origin.

He instantly became overjoyed, repeatedly expressing gratitude, ”Thank you, my lu—my lord, for the reward.”

The Chaos Origin was undoubtedly the treasure he needed most but the price of thirty Immortal Spirit Stones per wisp had kept him from purchasing it. Little did he expect, just answering a few questions earned him a wisp for free!

”It’s just a reward for your merit.” The white-robed noble, much calmer now, continued, ”Prepare yourself; soon you’ll accompany me on a trip to the Endless Abyss.”

”What?”

Wu Hailong’s delighted expression stiffened immediately, even the Chaos Origin in his hand felt scorching hot.

That terrifying ghostly place was somewhere he never wanted to return to in this lifetime~

”You needn’t worry, you won’t have to enter the Endless Abyss,” the white-robed noble said. ”You just need to take me to the point where you escaped, and of course, we’ll ensure your safety. What, you seem unwilling?”

Wu Hailong definitely had a million reasons to refuse, but his words were, ”I’m willing to share your burden, my lord.”

It was a joke, who would dare refuse a woman who could casually present Chaos Origin as a reward?

Even the Crown Princess Qingyang could never match such generosity.

”Prepare yourself; I’ll inform you of the departure time later.”

After saying this, the white-robed noble vanished with the elder.

Even after they left, Wu Hailong dared not speak nonsense. Instead, he immediately called his subordinates to arrange various preparations for heading out to sea.

Meanwhile.

In the sky.

The white-robed noble stood with her hands behind her back, her eyes gleaming with excitement, ”Old Hui, I really didn’t expect it to be true! Our Ying Clan’s Ancestor’s Taiyi Hunyuan Seal has surfaced, and it’s near the exit of the Infinite Abyss on the Tianrui Divine Dynasty’s side. Truly, heaven is watching over our Ying Clan!”

This information she inadvertently learned from a rather disliked junior brother was initially thought to be a rumor or something else. However, her familiarity with the Taiyi Hunyuan Seal used by her family’s ancestor had sparked a feeling of excitement.

Uncertain if the news was true and fearing empty delight, she didn’t alert anyone else but personally came to the Tianrui Divine Dynasty to verify it, only to find it was indeed true.

Standing behind her, Old Hui was not as optimistic, his eyes filled with worry, ”Miss Lingzhu, seeking your family’s lost treasure is certainly blameless. However, the Endless Abyss is one of the three forbidden zones of the Divine Dynasty, with the Sky Abyss inside being boundlessly vast. Even the master must exercise extreme caution when going in, without daring to make any big moves.”
