Chapter 829 - 323: Only the Path of Death
Sword Continent, Phoenix Emperor Palace.
Phoenix Empress Li Qian gripped the balcony railing tightly with both hands, looking intently in the direction of the Immortal Continent. In the sky over there, thunder rumbled, and each flash of lightning revealed vast expanses of crimson.
This crimson color made her heart race rapidly,
"This feeling... is very ominous!"
A sword scar suddenly swept past her, and then, the Great Sword Immortal Li Yuan appeared.
"Grandfather, why are you here all of a sudden?" Li Qian was taken aback.
Li Yuan said solemnly,
"The national fortune of the Immortal Dynasty is unstable. If any unexpected events occur, the dragon veins of the dynasty will certainly split. Xiao Qian, be prepared to seize the split dragon veins at the first opportunity if such a situation arises."
"I understand, but why did this suddenly happen?" As an Emperor, Li Qian was well aware of how stable the national fortune of the Shangjing Immortal Dynasty was, and how firm the dragon veins were.
How did it suddenly become unstable?
Li Yuan said,
"Because... Shangjing is not truly an Immortal Dynasty."
"Wha... what?" Li Qian couldn’t comprehend this statement at all.
Li Yuan said, "From its inception, it was destined for such things to happen, but..." His brows almost knitted together.
"But what?" Li Qian was a bit nervous.
Li Yuan said, "I didn’t expect it to happen this way, didn’t expect it to come so quickly, and didn’t expect it was him."
"Grandfather, what are you talking about? Him? Who is he?" Li Qian asked uneasily.
Li Yuan looked at her and said seriously,
"Xiao Qian, just do as I say. I’m going to Changning City."
After saying this, he suddenly transformed into a sword scar, and with a flicker, disappeared.
Li Qian clenched her fist, saying lowly,
"You must come back."
...
Little South Continent, Qiming Realm Fan Family.
Luo Qingyao suddenly woke up from a nightmare; she had just had a terrifying dream. She dreamed that her senior brother died over and over again, tormented beyond recognition.
As she was trying to discern whether it was a dream or a feeling, she suddenly found that Zhuge Hong was beside her bed. She quickly snapped her fingers to light the lamp.
The light shone on Zhuge Hong. She was trembling.
Luo Qingyao asked hastily,
"What’s wrong, Xiaohong?"
Zhuge Hong’s eyes were wide open, her pupils shrunk very small, appearing severely frightened,
"Master’s Wife... Master seems to be in great danger."
"Wha... what!" Luo Qingyao was startled, but she tried hard to stay calm, "Xiaohong, are you sure? With your master’s skills, what could make his situation dangerous?"
"No, that’s not what I mean!" Zhuge Hong tightly grasped Luo Qingyao’s hand, "What I mean is... Master has become very dangerous."
"Become..." Luo Qingyao was even more puzzled.
Zhuge Hong said, terrified and uneasy, "In any case, we must find him immediately! Immediately!"
"He is in the Immortal Continent. With my current speed, it would take at least a day to get there."
"No, no! Too slow! We must find him immediately! Otherwise..." Zhuge Hong covered her head, "Otherwise... I don’t know what might happen."
Luo Qingyao gritted her teeth, "No matter what, let’s set off first."
At this time, a literary aura arc suddenly fell into the room. Yushan Daoist emerged from it.
Luo Qingyao exclaimed,
"Master, why are you here!"
Yushan Daoist smiled, "Let’s go, I’ll take you there."
Zhuge Hong was very excited, "Thank you, Grandmaster!"
"No need to thank me. After all, I’m also his master."
After saying that, Yushan Daoist inked the air, and the true meaning of the Literary Dao enveloped the two like a small bridge over running water.
And then proceeded to the Immortal Continent.
On the way,
Luo Qingyao was extremely shocked, "Master, are you actually this powerful!" She still didn’t know Yushan Daoist’s true identity.
Yushan Daoist smiled, "I’ll explain to you slowly later."
"What exactly happened to Senior Brother?" Luo Qingyao asked.
Yushan Daoist said, "He has taken a step he was destined to take."
Luo Qingyao recalled the words her senior brother spoke to her before going to the Immortal Continent, "Is it related to Celestial Venerable Shangli’s death?"
Yushan Daoist said, "Related, yet unrelated. He had to make such a choice, it’s just... I didn’t expect it would happen so quickly, or in this way. It seems, Jiang Ran’s influence on him is indeed significant."
Luo Qingyao was somewhat bewildered,
"Jiang Ran... who is that?"
Yushan Daoist paused, "He hasn’t mentioned it to you?"
"No... no, he hasn’t."
Yushan Daoist forced a smile, "Then let him tell you himself when the time comes."
Luo Qingyao lowered her eyelids, silently thinking: Senior Brother really has many secrets I don’t know...
...
"It has begun..."
Jiang Sha raised his head, gazing at the crimson night sky.
The dense blood mist made the entire Changning City seem like it had fallen into an Asura Scene.
"This is called Blood Demon Dao..." Jiang Sha absorbed the terrifying Demonic Dao enveloping Changning City and the surrounding counties with ecstasy, "So beautiful. Indeed, none other than him..."
Liu Qingqing looked at Jiang Sha with concern. She felt the Hall Master’s mental state was a bit off... or perhaps too good.
Just as she was about to say something, an anxious and urgent voice suddenly interrupted.
"Where has he gone!" An An rushed in from outside, anxious like a little rabbit lost from home, "Sister Jiang. I can’t find Fan Wubing, I just can’t find him! The air is filled with his scent, but no matter how I try, I can’t find him!"
Jiang Sha smiled,
"Calm down, Xiaonu, he’s fine."
"This doesn’t seem fine at all!" An An could not calm down, "I don’t understand, with everything like this, how can Sister Jiang still smile! I felt something was wrong when coming here, but I couldn’t put it into words. Now... now..."
