Free Web NovelChapter 1238: Chapter 1239: Rescue
Wang Yue turned to Xuan Yue and continued, "As you can see, even the Empress of Xiliang has personally come here, probably valuing the Saint’s Inheritance very much, and this is still within the influence of the Ancient Kingdom of Xiliang!"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yue nodded without saying much, as she knew well that this was beyond the control of the Profound Lady Sect.
On the Celestial Sect’s side, Qin Ruoyu, Qin Ruoqiu, Mu Yuan, Ling Feng, and others had sharp expressions.
Back in Phoenix City, it could be said that the four of them were the first to know Xiao Jiu and Ye Qingcheng, but unfortunately, they considered themselves from the Celestial Sect and disdained Xiao Jiu and Ye Qingcheng. Even their companionship with Ye Qingcheng was because Mu Yuan and Ling Feng were drawn to Ye Qingcheng’s unparalleled charm.
However, how could they have imagined that today, all forces in the Primordial Ancient Realm gathered for Ye Qingcheng? This was unprecedented in the Primordial Ancient Realm, after all, obtaining the Saint’s Inheritance required at least qualifications.
How high a Saint’s requirements are, probably needs no further elaboration.
...
On the other side, the Unparalleled Realm.
Xiao Tianyu used the Spear of Space, tore through the space, and left the Unparalleled Realm, heading towards Earth, traversing the layers of Thunder Domain in the universe, and ultimately landing at the Emperor Star Academy in the Ancient Martial Realm on Earth.
"He is back!" Many disciples of the Emperor Star Academy looked toward the void and recognized Xiao Tianyu and Xiao Ziyan at first glance.
However, nowadays, Shangguan Biyue, Long Ling’er, and Gu Yunxi had long been taken to the Divine Realm, so their figures were absent from the Emperor Star Academy.
When Xiao Tianyu and Xiao Ziyan arrived at the Emperor Star Academy, the Dean, Di Cang, personally greeted them.
When Dean Di Cang’s deep eyes fell upon Xiao Ziyan, he found himself unable to see through her, thinking that perhaps in the past two years, Ziyan’s cultivation far exceeded his.
As for Xiao Tianyu, he didn’t stay long at the Emperor Star Academy; after exchanging a few courtesies with Di Cang, he left with Xiao Ziyan, for currently, the Emperor Star Academy held no attachment for Xiao Tianyu.
Moreover, Xiao Ziyan is currently a disciple of Li Tian, making it impossible for her to train at the Emperor Star Academy; even though Xiao Tianyu greatly dislikes Li Tian, no matter what, Li Tian is a legendary figure, and Xiao Ziyan’s future is limitless following him.
In the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.
"Old monster, come out for me!" As soon as Xiao Tianyu entered the forest of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, he shouted, his voice echoing in the sky, causing a spectacular scene as the birds in the forest took flight.
However, Xiao Ziyan looked at Xiao Tianyu peculiarly; how could this guy be so disrespectful to his mentor? I remember Master said that brother is also half his disciple, right?
Is this definitely half a disciple?
Xiao Ziyan felt that Xiao Tianyu and Li Tian seemed to have some deep hatred.
However, Li Tian did not tell Xiao Ziyan that he had once shut Xiao Tianyu in Space-Time Hell for millions of years; if Xiao Ziyan knew, she probably wouldn’t think this way.
Thus, Xiao Ziyan couldn’t help but speak, "Brother, however you say it, he’s still my master; you..."
"What master, just an old monster who tricks people, not only tricked me but also you!" Xiao Tianyu said seriously.
Xiao Ziyan: "..."
"Who’s defaming me?" At this moment, a voice came from the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, seemingly making countless miles smell of bad breath, leaving Xiao Tianyu and Xiao Ziyan speechless. How many years has it been since brushing teeth?
Soon, a slovenly youth with a face full of beard came stepping on treetops.
This slovenly youth, without a doubt, was indeed Li Tian.
Standing on the tree, looking down, he said to Xiao Tianyu, "Have you had enough pretending?"
"Pretend your sister!" Xiao Tianyu couldn’t help but spit out a curse, then said, "For your Spear of Space, I nearly died at the Sea King Palace, and why didn’t you say beforehand that there was a seal at the Sea King Palace?"
"Didn’t you return safely?" Li Tian didn’t care, smiled, and continued, "Got the Spear of Space?"
"Of course!" Xiao Tianyu nodded, gazing at Li Tian, and continued, "You sure know how to arrange things—sending my sister to the Unparalleled Realm; if I hadn’t arrived in time..."
"I’m doing this all for your own good!" Li Tian interrupted.
"For my own good?"
"Of course!" Li Tian looked at Xiao Tianyu, stroked his beard, and continued, "If I hadn’t sent your sister to the Unparalleled Realm, would you be willing to go there to pretend? Would you willingly fetch the Spear of Space for me?"
Xiao Tianyu: "..."
Xiao Ziyan: "..."
The two were speechless together.
This... this old rascal was using us! How shameless! No wonder big brother dislikes him so much; it seems there was a reason after all.
Before going to the Unparalleled Realm, Li Tian had painted a beautifully deceptive picture, filled with opportunities. Opportunities did exist, but the dangers were even greater, and she nearly became the bride of Profound Heaven.
This made Xiao Ziyan realize that two years ago, this master had already been laying traps for them.
"Fine... I can let all this go!" Xiao Tianyu waved his hand and said, "What’s the deal with the Spear of Space? Didn’t you say it’s the key to opening some great door? You said I would understand everything once I obtained it!"
"The time is not yet ripe!" Li Tian stroked his beard, revealing a mysterious look, which infuriated Xiao Tianyu: "You..."
If not for the fear of being unable to defeat Li Tian, Xiao Tianyu would likely have rushed in and beaten him up; what kind of person is this, tricking kids despite being thousands of years old.
By Xiao Tianyu’s age, he was indeed a child compared to Li Tian. Despite appearing not much older on the surface, in reality, Li Tian was over ten thousand years old, with endless life and as long as heaven and earth.
"Okay, okay... don’t complain!" Li Tian waved his hand, showing an indifferent attitude: "Once you go to the Firmament World, you’ll naturally understand the function of the Spear of Space, but you can’t go yet!"
"Why?" Xiao Tianyu asked in confusion.
"Because you need to make a trip to the Primordial Continent!"
"Primordial Continent?" Xiao Tianyu’s eyes flickered; isn’t Ye Qingcheng currently training there? What is he asking me to do? Could it be that Ye Qingcheng is in trouble and can’t resolve it herself?
Thus, Xiao Tianyu said to Li Tian, "For the Chosen One?"
"That’s right!" Li Tian nodded, revealing nothing, and said to Xiao Tianyu, "The Primordial Ancient Realm currently manifests a Saint’s Relics, and this Chosen One comprehends Sacred Intent, ultimately gaining recognition of the Sacred Intent and attaining inheritance. However, this Chosen One’s cultivation is currently low, only at the Fifth Layer of Immortal King, with no background in the Primordial Ancient Realm. Once she gains the inheritance, she might have difficulty overcoming crises!"
"You’re so powerful, why not go yourself!"
"I’m an old man, too old to walk, so you, the young one, must go!"
Pfft~
Xiao Tianyu almost spat blood in anger.
And Xiao Ziyan pulled on Xiao Tianyu’s sleeve, eyes shimmering, "Brother, are you talking about Sister Qingcheng?"
Since Ye Qingcheng left the Emperor Star Academy three years ago, Xiao Ziyan hadn’t seen her again. Despite the grudges between Ye Qingcheng and Xiao Tianyu, Ye Qingcheng was still fond of Xiao Ziyan.
So Xiao Ziyan didn’t have any resentment towards Ye Qingcheng but missed her somewhat.
