Chapter 486: Chapter 198: Lin Longxiang, Chiyun Immortal! Chiyun Residence

A figure, like a Ghostly Charm, suddenly appeared in the courtyard.

The man was dressed in red robes, his figure tall and straight. Beneath sharp, sword-like brows, his face was quite handsome, and his eyes shone like stars.

He stood in the courtyard with his hands clasped behind him, and a dense, heavy aura filled the air in all directions.

"Ah!"

Mu Yanwu’s eyes looked as if they would split. He let out a慘scream and, with a THUD, fell to his knees.

The hard ground of the courtyard shattered on impact, cracks spreading out like a spiderweb.

He groaned in pain, his palms pressed firmly against the ground. His heart was filled with both unwillingness and endless fear.

’One of Chiyun Immortal’s men!’

’How could this be? How...’

"Who gave you the right to say the Young Master’s name?"

The red-robed man’s sword-like brows twitched. His robes billowed, and an invisible current of air struck out. With a BOOM, Mu Yanwu was sent flying out of the courtyard.

Following a dull thud from the street, a series of gasps could be heard.

"Chiyun Immortal really is back..."

Ye Yangfeng sighed in relief.

The reason he had stayed in Chishui City was not to wait for his enemies to come knocking, but to wait for Chiyun Immortal.

Chishui City wasn’t large, but it still had its experts.

And that expert was Chiyun Immortal.

Chiyun Immortal’s grandfather was the founder of Chishui City. Originally, the Chi Family was just a minor family. Even though they controlled Chishui City, they were no match for the Ye Family.

Until the day Chiyun Immortal was born!

This Chiyun Immortal was born accompanied by a strange phenomenon. On the day of his birth, across ten thousand miles of the Jianghu, the emerald waters turned as red as the sky, until the sky and water were one color.

Furthermore, red clouds drifted for ten thousand miles across the sky, and several Dragon silhouettes appeared, all to celebrate the birth of the Chishui Immortal.

He was like an Exiled Immortal descending upon the mortal world.

Therefore, his grandfather gave him the name Xian, signifying him as the Immortal of Chishui.

And Chiyun Immortal truly lived up to everyone’s expectations. From the moment he was born, he displayed world-shaking talent. At just one year old, before he had even started his Cultivation, he already possessed superhuman strength.

At the age of nine, he condensed the Great River Red Dragon Dharma Aspect. When he attacked, it was as if a great river followed him, with a red dragon dancing within it.

Before he was fifteen, his Cultivation had already surpassed that of his ancestors’ for hundreds of years combined. He was regarded as a talent that could shock the world.

He even attracted the attention of a Major Sect, the Taiyi Sect. An Elder traveled thousands of miles to take him as a disciple.

He was a true prodigy of the heavens!

Though this Chiyun Immortal had never been to the more prosperous Dinghai City, he was a prodigy of equal renown to Lin Longxiang of the Prison Suppression Pavilion and Wu Qingyun of Celestial Yang Mountain.

The City Lord of Dinghai City had hailed him as a peerless genius, the likes of whom are not seen in a thousand years.

Compared to a man like that, he, Ye Yangfeng, was truly a man of mediocre talent.

"I am Chi Wu, a Sword Servant in service to the Young Master."

After casually driving off Mu Yanwu, the red-robed man finally turned and gave Ye Yangfeng a faint glance.

"You’re in luck. The Young Master just returned. Since you want to offer a treasure, come with me."

The Taiyi Sect was a Major Sect of the world, its strength even greater than that of the Prison Suppression Pavilion and Celestial Yang Mountain. What kind of treasures hadn’t they seen?

It was only because this treasure had attracted Lin Longxiang’s attention that he gave it a second thought.

Ye Yangfeng was tongueless and couldn’t speak. He just nodded slightly.

Then, he limped into the room, glanced at the unconscious Su Bai, hesitated for a moment, then lifted his single arm to support Su Bai, and slowly moved out of the courtyard.

He had many enemies. If one of them came looking for revenge while he was away, this unconscious senior might suffer for it.

So, after a moment’s thought, he decided to bring Su Bai with him.

Doing so would make moving around inconvenient, but at the very least, it was much safer.

When he got outside the courtyard, he found that Chi Wu was gone. In his place, a horse-drawn carriage was waiting for him.

The young servant driving the carriage glanced at Ye Yangfeng, and his expression immediately changed as if he’d been frightened.

"Y-Young Master Ye, p-please, get in the carriage..."

The young servant gulped.

Ye Yangfeng nodded, then carefully boarded the carriage, heading towards the Chi Mansion.

The carriage interior wasn’t large, but it was exquisite.

Ye Yangfeng laid Su Bai on a soft animal hide and sighed softly to himself.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

"You’re leaving?"

’Who?!’

Ye Yangfeng was startled. He threw open the carriage curtain, only to be met with the servant’s bewildered expression.

"Don’t bother looking. I’m not outside."

The voice sounded again.

’Not outside?’

Hearing the voice that resounded directly in the depths of his mind, Ye Yangfeng stiffly turned his head and looked at the only other person inside the carriage.

His face was filled with disbelief.

Su Bai sat up and looked calmly at Ye Yangfeng. "It’s me."

After that earth-shattering clash, his body, along with his Divine Spirit, had suffered unimaginably heavy injuries!

The strength of the person who had attacked him had far exceeded the limits of what he could handle. Their Cultivation must have been terrifyingly high.

If he hadn’t activated the Purification Tripod at the critical moment, he would have likely perished.

Besides, he was already in a weakened state due to his Blood Rebirth.

After this clash, even though he had survived, his condition was worse than ever before, weakened to the extreme.

Back then, if this man had left him on that desolate mountain and departed on his own, what awaited him would likely have been death.

That was why Su Bai had no choice but to speak up.

"Senior, you’re awake?"

Ye Yangfeng was first startled, then a look of joy spread across his face as he asked in his mind with astonishment.

"Senior, you..."

Immediately after, countless questions surfaced in his mind.

For instance, why had Su Bai fallen from the sky? Why had he suffered such grievous injuries? Who was his enemy? And what was Su Bai’s true identity?

But without a tongue, he could only swallow these questions.

"No need for questions. Just remember, do not leave on your own."

Su Bai didn’t say much more; the voice simply resonated in Ye Yangfeng’s mind.

"Alright, I won’t leave."

In the end, Ye Yangfeng nodded and agreed at once, speaking in his mind.

But after agreeing, Ye Yangfeng shook his head slightly and added in his thoughts:

"But... if I don’t leave, Chiyun Immortal won’t agree to shelter us for a lifetime, and Lin Longxiang would never allow it either."

He had offended many people, but the one who truly caused his family’s ruin was related to the item he had obtained.

But even if he gave this item to Chiyun Immortal, there was no way Chiyun Immortal would make an enemy of Lin Longxiang for his sake.

It wasn’t out of fear or dread, but because it simply wasn’t worth it.

His original goal was only to entreat Chiyun Immortal to help him look after Su Bai, who had previously saved his life.

As for himself, he had already made plans to seek life through death after he left.

Throughout his life, he had been direct and straightforward, with an honest and heroic temperament.

If someone showed him kindness, he would naturally repay it. If someone was his enemy, he would naturally strike out fearlessly.

"A lifetime won’t be necessary..."

Su Bai pondered for a moment, then gave a conservative estimate: "Two years. That should be enough time for you to kill that Lin Longxiang."

Ye Yangfeng: "..."

’Kill Lin Longxiang in two years!’

Ye Yangfeng opened his mouth, then closed it again. His thoughts were in a total mess.

For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

Although he held some reverence for Su Bai and knew he might be some reclusive expert with profound Cultivation,

this Lin Longxiang was said to possess a Divine Body and have heaven-defying Divine Power.

Furthermore, his talent was peerless, not much worse than Chiyun Immortal’s. Not only had he joined the Prison Suppression Pavilion, but it was also rumored that he had obtained the inheritance of some ancient Prince.

Compared to Chiyun Immortal, who kept a low profile, his reputation was far more resounding.

He himself had only offended Lin Longxiang’s younger brother, Lin Longbai.

And for that, he was already trapped with no way out.

To kill Lin Longxiang, and in just two years!

’This... How is this possible?’

’Even if I obtained the inheritance of some ancient Celestial King, it would still be impossible, right?’

"Hand over the item in exchange for two years of Shelter. You don’t need to worry about the rest."

Su Bai didn’t explain much further.

This mysterious world was far more complex than he had imagined.

When he had awoken earlier, he had sent out a wisp of his Divine Thoughts to gather intelligence.

But that wasn’t something that could be accomplished overnight.

He wasn’t one for boasting. If Ye Yangfeng hadn’t been planning to leave and face death head-on, he wouldn’t have said any of this to him.

After speaking, he ignored Ye Yangfeng’s shock and daze, yawned, and fell back asleep.

His injuries were too severe. Even after more than ten days, he had only recovered a tiny fraction.

Watching the senior fall into a deep sleep, Ye Yangfeng was completely baffled.

After a while, he sighed to himself. He didn’t believe for a second that he could kill Lin Longxiang in two years.

Chishui City, situated on the banks of the Chilong River, was not a square-shaped city.

Its shape resembled a long, red dragon drinking from the water.

The closer one got to the Chilong River, the more prosperous it became.

And the most prosperous place of all was, naturally, the City Lord’s Mansion, which sat upon the Chilong River like a suspended dragon’s head.

Even before arriving at the City Lord’s Mansion, the sound of the surging, violent waters could already be heard.

Ye Yangfeng lifted the carriage curtain and saw a great river, hundreds of miles wide like an ocean, flowing eastward like a roaring red dragon.

One after another, incredibly thick pillars of Water Dragon Wood supported a massive mansion that came into view.

That mansion was precisely the City Lord’s Mansion of Chishui City.

"We’re here."

The young servant stopped the carriage before a large bridge on the riverbank.

He was not a member of the City Lord’s Mansion, and the City Lord’s Mansion was not a place an ordinary person was qualified to enter.

Ye Yangfeng got out of the carriage.

Chi Wu stood on the riverbank with his hands clasped behind his back, looking down at the Chilong River as it rolled eastward.

The river was magnificent and imposing. The waves were large, and the current was rapid, making it difficult for ordinary boats to travel on its surface.

"Follow me."

When Ye Yangfeng reached the bank, Chi Wu spoke without turning his head.

Then he started towards the City Lord’s Mansion at a steady pace.

Ye Yangfeng gritted his teeth and followed.

But with only one arm and one leg, it was a great struggle for him to keep up with Chi Wu.

Yet he followed without a single complaint, crossing the bridge that was several miles long, his clothes becoming soaked with cold sweat.

In front of the City Lord’s Mansion, Chi Wu turned around.

A flash of admiration appeared in his eyes as he looked at Ye Yangfeng.

"Good!"

"You are indeed qualified to meet my Young Master!"
