Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 755: Chapter 755: Long Xuan Leaks a Secret

”Indeed! The Master mentioned a while ago that the Dragon God Sect had almost been eradicated. It has been extinct since the 300th generation, all potential risks have been snuffed out at their very roots, and the task is completed.” Ye Yun babbled on and on, his words flowing like a torrent. ”The Master also said that Long Xuan’s merit and virtue are complete, and he can now travel to the Divine Land and serve under His rule henceforth.”

”That’s impossible! You’re lying to me...” Long Xuan’s face contorted wildly as he shook his head desperately.

”What would I gain by lying to you? As someone with the cultivation base of the Divine Monarch Realm, I have ventured deep into the Cangnan Continent. Do you realize what a great price I’ve paid?” Ye Yun scoffed.

”Impossible! After you entered the Cangnan Continent, your cultivation realm was severed. How could you bear such a great loss?” Long Xuan exclaimed in disbelief.

”I had no choice. I had to obey the Master’s command, and therefore, I entered the Cangnan Continent, doing everything I could to find you,” Ye Yun sighed. ”But, regardless of my efforts, I couldn’t locate you. Despondent, I began to consider other alternatives. If my cultivation path was severed, it would mean I wouldn’t live much longer. During my journey, I happened to pass by Langya Mountain. After learning certain internal workings, I proceeded to the Changhe Immortal Palace,” he continued.

Long Xuan eyed him and nodded. ”Your cultivation path being severed and entering the Changhe Immortal Palace for eternal life... that indeed seems like the best way out.”

”Long Xuan, I have served the Master for only a short time, and there are many things I do not understand. There is something I wish for you to clarify. Ever since I came to the Cangnan Continent, I have found the Dragon God Sect to be quite weak. Why then did you painstakingly deal with such a weak sect? Wouldn’t it be better to exterminate it directly?” Ye Yun asked with a laugh.

”I simply executed what the Master instructed, operating in secret. However, this Dragon God Sect is no ordinary sect. This sect gathers the destiny of this entire continent; it’s not something that can be easily eradicated,” Long Xuan explained.

”Gathering destiny? What does that mean?” Ye Yun asked, feigning curiosity.

”This Cangnan Continent is known in the Divine Land as the Forbidden Zone of the Hidden Dragon and in Ancient Times as the Dragon Hidden Continent. It was once ruled by the Dragon Clan. The Master of the Phoenix Clan harbors resentment towards the Dragon Clan, hence the desire to completely destroy all destiny related to the Dragon Clan. That is why they attacked the Dragon God Sect,” Long Xuan said slowly. He had been caught in Ye Yun’s web of questions, inadvertently revealing ancient secrets.

”AHH!” Suddenly, Long Xuan clutched his head and let out a piteous scream.

”What’s wrong?” Ye Yun was startled, a sudden realization dawning on him.

”My head hurts!” Long Xuan yelled. Then, BOOM! His entire head and body exploded into dust at that moment.

A powerful shockwave spread out in all directions. Ye Yun waved his hand and dissolved it.

Heh, this Master of the Phoenix Clan is truly meticulous. To think they placed a restriction in Long Xuan’s mind that would cause him to self-destruct the moment he revealed any secrets... Ye Yun’s face darkened as he murmured to himself.

Although Long Xuan had exploded, Ye Yun had still managed to obtain some useful information from his words. It seemed there was a natural enmity between the Phoenix and Dragon Clans. This hatred apparently dated back to extremely ancient times, with the Dragon God Sect merely an innocent victim caught in the crossfire.

Could it be... in ancient times, the Dragon Clan offended the Phoenix Clan? Ye Yun murmured. That was indeed possible. The Dragon Clan of the Ancient Times was vast; it was inevitable that some bad seeds among them committed acts of plunder and violence. Such dragons might have offended a particular branch of the Phoenix Clan. And this branch of the Phoenix Clan later migrated to the Divine Land, their lineage continuing to this day. After the Dragon Clan was exterminated, remembering their past grievances, the Phoenix Clan began their revenge.

Perhaps it is so, or perhaps not... Ye Yun mused softly. This was just his own speculation. The actual truth might be worlds apart from his guess.

BUZZ! BUZZ!

The Changhe Immortal Palace suddenly trembled as if some colossal entity was about to emerge from the depths of the earth. The Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth became unstable, fluctuating violently like boiling water. All kinds of Spiritual Beasts and Disciples from the various Immortal Palaces within the small world showed expressions of fear at this moment.

「In the depths of the Wine Fairy Palace.」

A graceful figure suddenly opened her eyes.

”What’s going on?” Lu Linlang carefully sensed her surroundings. Her expression suddenly changed, and she quickly flew outside.

She flew into the small courtyard. Seeing the Warrior Fairy, Sword Fairy, Poem Fairy, and others in various strange poses and making odd sounds, she couldn’t help but be astonished.

”Who are you?” Lu Linlang asked, frowning as she looked at the young man in white in the courtyard. The young man in white gave her an inexplicably familiar feeling.

”Little girl, I heard you can’t brew Nine Grades Shaohua anymore. Is it because you miss me too much?” Ye Yun smiled faintly. At this moment, he revealed his true face.

”Brother Yun?” Seeing the familiar face she had longed for day and night, Lu Linlang’s petite body began to tremble, tears welling in her eyes.

”Am I dreaming?” Lu Linlang gave a bitter laugh and suddenly raised her hand to slap herself forcefully. However, before the slap could land, it was caught by a large hand.

”Silly girl, how could this be a dream?” Ye Yun said with a laugh, standing beside her.

”Brother Yun, you... you’re not dead?” Lu Linlang asked carefully, staring at his handsome face for a long moment, oblivious to the tears streaming down her own.

”I went to a mysterious place, cultivated for a hundred thousand years, and just came out,” Ye Yun said.

After saying that, he reached out his broad palm, gently wiped the tears from Lu Linlang’s face, and said tenderly, ”It’s been a long time, girl!”

”It’s been a long time, Brother Yun.” Lu Linlang’s tear-streaked face broke into a smile, then laughter, as she finally realized she wasn’t dreaming.

As their eyes met, their affection for each other deepened. After a hundred thousand years of separation, the couple’s feelings were even more fervent and passionate.

The Ruyi Jade Spider, now in human form, covered her face with her hands and peeked through her fingers. Wow, as expected of Master, his flirting skills are top-notch! she giggled to herself.

Ye Yun embraced Lu Linlang, holding her gently. At this moment, time seemed to freeze. The entire small courtyard was filled with an indescribable tenderness.

”Brother Yun, how did you find the Changhe Immortal Palace?” Lu Linlang lifted her head and asked curiously.

”It was a matter of serendipity. I was investigating something and happened to find a disciple of your Lu Clan,” Ye Yun said with a light smile. Just as he finished speaking, he looked into the distance and murmured, ”It seems the Time Elder has made another breakthrough!”

”Yes! Before Immortal Weng went into seclusion, he was at the God Venerate Realm Sixth Layer. Now he’s already at the Seventh Level of the God Venerate Realm!” Lu Linlang said with a laugh.

WHOOSH!

A ray of light shot up from the Ninth Immortal Palace, transforming into a huge, illusory figure in mid-air.

”Wine Fairy, come here!”

”Brother Yun, Immortal Weng is calling me. I have to go,” Lu Linlang said, struggling out of Ye Yun’s embrace, ready to fly over.

”Don’t go.” Ye Yun chuckled softly, holding Lu Linlang back with his hand.

This Time Elder... he’s definitely not a good sort. His six disciples ended up either dead or grievously injured; their conditions were tragic. Yet, this Time Elder didn’t come straight for revenge when he was about to break his seclusion. That in itself is suspicious.
