Chapter 2268 - 2265: Pavilion Under the Night
Ye Xuan’s eyes were calm and he said softly, "Originally, I didn’t care much about it, but now I do."
After saying that.
Ye Xuan turned and left, not looking back as he said, "You sleep by yourself, I’m not going to sleep."
Stepping out of the cave, Ye Xuan thoughtfully restored the restriction to its original state.
Arriving at the pavilion outside the cave, Ye Xuan sat down, took a sip of wine to calm down.
"What is this guy up to..."
Ye Xuan murmured lightly, feeling quite speechless.
Though many peerless experts act in eccentric ways, Ye Xuan had seen plenty.
But someone as strange as this white-haired woman was rarely encountered.
Ye Xuan pondered carefully on what this person was aiming for.
The claimant to the Dao sect’s longest longevity; no one knew her real name, but she had lived through nine great eras, spanning ancient to modern times, even spending most of her existence in slumber.
Nevertheless, such an entity should not be underestimated.
Ye Xuan didn’t believe she slept just out of curiosity regarding longevity.
Surely she had some plans during her waking days?
Otherwise, how would she be aware of him as the Undying Night Emperor, and be so familiar with his aura?
At this moment, Ye Xuan felt a pang in his heart as he put down the Snow Nourishing Sword Gourd.
Boom!
In the next instant, three incredibly powerful auras suddenly descended.
True Person Yu Xuan, True Person Chi Xing, Zhang Qingfeng.
All three descended together outside the cave.
Upon seeing the restored restriction, True Person Yu Xuan’s expression changed unpredictably.
"Could it be, it’s over?"
True Person Yu Xuan furrowed his brows.
It shouldn’t be, whether the ancestor or Emperor Ye, their strength is extraordinary.
If they were really to fight, it would be a cataclysm, possibly even tearing apart the East Mountain Divine Mountain.
Yet the result was so peaceful.
Moreover, the restriction seemed completely unaffected.
Could they have fought inside?
"Oh, Emperor Ye, why didn’t you at least notify us when you arrived!"
True Person Yu Xuan inexplicably felt a sense of crying without tears.
"Didn’t I tell your master, your master’s master, your master’s master’s master about this Water Jade Bed?"
At this moment, a lazy voice came from afar.
True Person Yu Xuan looked in the direction of the sound.
Seeing Ye Xuan in the pavilion, he was overjoyed.
"Emperor Ye!"
True Person Yu Xuan immediately teleported to the pavilion.
True Person Chi Xing and Zhang Qingfeng followed closely.
"Greetings, Emperor Ye."
Zhang Qingfeng respectfully paid his respects.
True Person Chi Xing also followed suit.
Previously during their meeting, True Person Chi Xing didn’t know Ye Xuan’s identity.
Now he fully understood.
This newly proclaimed emperor, Emperor Ye, was in fact the Undying Night Emperor.
The reason the Double Emperors suddenly vanished might be out of fear of the Undying Night Emperor.
"Emperor Ye, you really scared me to death!"
True Person Yu Xuan patted his chest, looking genuinely frightened.
True Person Chi Xing and Zhang Qingfeng also breathed a sigh of relief, their expressions relaxed.
Indeed, they were scared.
Seeing their appearance, Ye Xuan said with interest, "Why are you so frightened?"
True Person Yu Xuan immediately smiled wryly, pointing to the cave, "I forgot to tell you last time, that cave was temporarily occupied by my Dao sect’s ancestor, and she said not to awaken her before the Luotian Grand Jiao, or it would cause a major upheaval in our Dao sect’s fate."
"Initially, when noticing the restriction problem here, I thought some disciple inadvertently intruded. Didn’t expect it was you, Emperor Ye."
"Luckily you didn’t break in, or we’d be done for."
True Person Yu Xuan sighed again.
Ye Xuan, seeing these three old guys, couldn’t help but laugh, "Who said I didn’t go in?"
"What?!"
True Person Yu Xuan’s expression changed dramatically.
Ye Xuan chuckled, "Actually, I just came out from inside. I also saw your Dao sect’s ancestor, and she woke up because of me."
True Person Yu Xuan: "..."
"Are you... sure?"
True Person Yu Xuan’s face was devoid of color.
True Person Chi Xing and Zhang Qingfeng looked similar.
Ye Xuan nodded, "Of course."
The three exchanged glances, revealing expressions of despair.
Dao sect’s fate.
In peril!
"Hahaha..."
Ye Xuan, seeing their looks, burst into laughter, "You three little things are really amusing."
"Emperor Ye, how can you still laugh!"
True Person Yu Xuan was indeed crying without tears.
Zhang Qingfeng, however, said thoughtfully, "Was Emperor Ye just joking with us?"
True Person Yu Xuan’s eyes brightened at these words.
Ye Xuan shook his head, "No, I was telling the truth."
The three’s faces turned pale again.
Yet Ye Xuan didn’t continue teasing these little fellows but said gently, "Look at yourselves, do you still look like the leaders of the Dao sect’s various Dao lineages?"
"Rest assured, your ancestor said, as long as she doesn’t leave the cave before Luotian Grand Jiao is completed, nothing will be affected."
Upon hearing this, the three finally felt at ease.
Still, True Person Yu Xuan was somewhat uneasy and asked, "Did the elder say anything else?"
Hearing this, Ye Xuan looked slightly peculiar.
In his mind arose the image of that person asking to dual cultivate with him.
Forget it, forget it.
Ye Xuan waved his hand, "She said nothing else, just go ahead with Luotian Grand Jiao."
"By the way, hasn’t Huang Shigong and Gui Guzi returned?"
Ye Xuan looked at Zhang Qingfeng, asking.
Huang Shigong, Gui Guzi.
Dao sect’s Double Saints.
The two were once the most renowned figures within the Dao sect, entering the Great Saint Realm at a young age.
Yet both later left the Dao sect.
Huang Shigong joined the Immortal King Hall.
Gui Guzi founded the Zongheng Sect.
Both become legendary figures in Daozhou.
Previously, when Ye Xuan visited the Immortal King Hall, he saw Huang Shigong and told him about Luotian Grand Jiao.
At the time, Huang Shigong admitted he would return to the Dao sect in Earth State when Luotian Grand Jiao commenced.
But this time, Ye Xuan didn’t see either of them.
Presently, Luotian Grand Jiao had already started.
The Five-Colored Sky Covering Cloth had covered Earth State.
"Are those two seniors returning?"
The question startled the three.
They knew of these two unparalleled twins of the Dao sect.
But hadn’t they vanished long ago? Would they return to Earth State?
"Forget it if they haven’t returned."
Ye Xuan, seeing this, didn’t ask further, slightly impatiently waved them away, "Shoo shoo, I’m going to sleep, don’t disturb me."
Seeing this, despite having questions, the three refrained from speaking further, bowed their hands to leave and departed.
Once the three left, Ye Xuan drank alone.
Suddenly.
Ye Xuan felt something, looked towards a certain place.
There was a very familiar aura, emerging from Supreme Pavilion of Daozhou, heading straight for Earth State.
It was no one else.
Just a glimpse of red clothing.
Ye Xuan sensed that person, subtly smiled, then drank another sip of wine, slowly closing eyes, softly murmuring, "People say Gai’s wine is the best under heaven, why can’t it make me drunk..."
