Chapter 187 Big Shots Gather, Countdown to Departure
Shao Siming paused for a moment, then nodded to Feng Yi.
In the instant they passed each other, her skirt brushed against the hem of his clothes, like a wisp of cloud drifting across a still, deep pool.
The tassels in Shao Siming's hair swayed gently, tracing delicate arcs in the morning light.
Without stopping, without glancing sideways, without even disturbing a speck of dust.
After a brief moment of surprise, Yu Ling nodded to Feng Yi, "Fellow Daoist Feng."
Feng Yi's knuckles turned slightly white as he held the camellia. This thousand-year-old story... in the end, only he remembered it.
Although Tang Wanwan was unaware of the past events in the Floating Life Realm, based on her years of experience reading storybooks, she could tell at a glance that these three people must have something going on.
Normally, she would have been obsessed with this relationship, but now that Huali has faced off against four others, a mere love triangle no longer holds any appeal for her.
Realizing this terrible thought of hers, Tang Wanwan took a deep breath. "Bye, do you understand? I'm going to fall."
Ao Bai glanced at him sideways and meowed, "You weren't exactly a saint to begin with."
Shao Siming and Yu Ling stood in front of Tang Wanwan and bowed with their hands clasped.
Shao Siming smiled and said, "This time, we are very grateful for the help of Fellow Daoist Tang and Fellow Daoist Hua. We have no way to repay their life-saving grace. This is just a small token of our Hehuan Sect. Please do not refuse it."
Yu Ling handed over two Qiankun bags, saying, "Tiangongfang is famous for its mechanical arts. These bags are all for self-defense. Fellow Daoist Tang and Fellow Daoist Hua's back defenses in the Dream Water Mirror are a bit weak. I personally improved the mechanical beasts inside, which should be of great help to you."
While magical treasures held little appeal for Tang Wanwan, this mechanical beast was certainly thoughtful.
You should know that the mechanical beasts of Tiangongfang are top-notch treasures; even if you have money, you can't buy them.
Tang Wanwan stopped refusing and generously thanked them before accepting the gift. "Are you going back to your respective sects after the Dream Realm ends?"
Yu Ling shook her head. "At the end of the continent lies the Cangming Sea and the Boundary Abyss. Now that the black energy has been confirmed, many demonic beasts infected by the evil energy are waiting to be dealt with. I need to get to the Cangming Sea as soon as possible."
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Shao Siming, "Ayu, what about you?"
Shao Siming nodded, "I also just received orders to find the source of the black energy."
Almost as soon as the two finished speaking, Rongxing's communication stone began to glow. "My master wants me to go find him, and it's probably related to this matter."
After delivering the items, Yu Ling cupped her hands in farewell again, saying, "Then we'll take our leave now. See you at Cangming Sea another day."
"Ayu, let's go."
Shao Siming nodded and turned around.
Just as the three passed each other again, Feng Yi, who had been silent under the camellia tree, suddenly spoke, "Ayu..."
He whispered the two words, his voice so soft it was almost drowned out by the rain, "Is it your name?"
Shao Siming raised her eyes, a hint of doubt flashing across them. Raindrops fell on her eyelashes, condensing into tiny droplets, about to fall but not quite.
"yes."
One word, as clean as raindrops dripping from the eaves.
Feng Yi suddenly remembered that a thousand years ago, when he called her that, A Yu's eyes were filled with a vast expanse of brimming spring water.
Now, she simply stands there quietly, her gaze as cool as that of a stranger.
After Feng Yi emerged, she thought countless times about the moment she would meet the two of them again, but she forgot that the two of them had already been reincarnated.
Unfortunately, he arrived at an inopportune time.
The Master of the Floating Life Realm looked up at the swallows perched under the eaves, and nodded and smiled as they flapped their wings and flew into the gray sky, saying, "It sounds very nice."
*
The Cangming Sea, located at the edge of the continent, holds a crucial position.
If the source of the black energy is in the sea, it will surely alarm the Cangming clan. The Cangming clan has no reason not to inform the other sects.
But now that I think about it, the merfolk who should have appeared in the Dream Realm not only failed to show up, but even the Cangming Sea Commander Guanlan is nowhere to be found.
This is clearly not a good sign.
Inside the council chamber, the debate raged. Some argued that a large-scale mobilization was unnecessary, while others insisted on a grand display.
A light that no one could understand flowed in Geluo Tan's aged eyes. "Have you all heard of that one in the Abyss of Boundaries?"
"This black aura is truly strange. If it really is that person, we will probably have to join forces to seal it away once again."
Geluo Tan smiled and looked at the Buddhist sect, "What is the Buddhist disciple's opinion?"
"Amitabha." Lian Zhuo raised her palm in a gesture of respect. "The Buddhist sect has an inescapable duty to uphold this."
Geluo Tan nodded and looked at Luo Chuan, "The Demon Dragon was also sealed in the Boundary Abyss. It hadn't caused trouble for the past thousand years, but its sudden activity this year is probably due to the influence of evil energy. Demon King, as one of the demon race, do you have any plans for the Demon Dragon?"
Luo Chuan leaned back lazily in his chair, resting his chin on one hand. "I don't want to get involved."
As soon as he spoke, everyone looked over.
Almost all the powerful beings had gathered here, with six or seven of them at the Tribulation Transcending stage alone, and their imposing aura was evident.
Luo Chuan, however, seemed oblivious, lazily curling his lips, "What? You think you can force me to do this if I don't want to?"
Geluo Tan shook his head. "Destiny is predetermined. If the Demon King doesn't go, it's his fate. But fate is fickle, and I'm afraid it will implicate those around him."
If anyone else said this, they would definitely be a charlatan.
Ke Geluo Tan is the High Priest of the Astrological Platform, who can hear the heavens and earth, and whose strength is on par with Luo Chuan, a Diviner in the Tribulation Transcending stage.
His words must be heeded.
The smile on Luo Chuan's face vanished almost instantly.
Changliu leaned over and whispered to Chen Yu, "The general ordered the young master to return to Canglan as soon as possible. The Xuan Tie Cavalry are making trouble, which is probably related to this black energy."
Shen Yu's jaw tightened as he slowly nodded.
On the other side, Geluo Tan continued to look at the Lord of Sunset City, "The Demon Lord probably doesn't know that Wen Tingyun was wandering in the Cangming Sea a few days ago."
His all-seeing eyes hit the nail on the head: "I've heard that the divine artifact, the Book of the Goddess of the Luo River, is there. If the Demon Lord doesn't take action, he might lose the initiative."
Wen Jin's eyes flashed with malice as he sneered, "What good is it if a mere half-crippled person gets the Book of Luo Shen?"
Geluo Tan held the scepter and smiled, "It's not that bad, but those old guys from the demon race will keep dragging the Demon Lord along, making him too busy to deal with everything. How annoying!"
Wen Jin: "......"
The old priest of the astrological observatory stopped there, slowly stood up, and dusted off non-existent dust. "In that case, everyone, please set off as soon as possible."
No sooner had the crowd dispersed than Rongxing, who had arrived after listening to half of what had happened, asked in astonishment, "Master, how do you know about the Demon Lord and the Demon King?"
Even the fact that someone has someone they care about and that their elders in the family are difficult to deal with makes you wonder.
Geluotan glanced at his unfortunate apprentice, but instead of answering directly, he posed a seemingly ultimate philosophical question.
"Rongxing, you have studied with your master for many years. Do you know what the ultimate goal of metaphysics is?"
Rong Xing was overjoyed! It's here! After all these years, his master is finally going to teach him extraordinary skills!
Rong Xing drew upon all his lifelong learning and calmly replied, "The ultimate goal of metaphysics is the beginning of chaos, where all things return to their origin."
Geluo Tan shook his head. "Wrong."
Rongxing learned from his lesson, "That means seeing through all things and controlling cause and effect, just like Master did just now?"
Geluotan affectionately touched his beloved disciple's forehead, then slapped it mercilessly!
Under Rong Xing's snarling gaze, he slowly pulled out a gleaming communication stone. "You don't even read the Immortal Gazette?"
He shoved the communication stone in front of Rongxing's eyes, pointing to several of them.
#The Demon King is suspected of blooming from a thousand-year-old iron tree
#Fantasy Continent Big Shots' Council Daily Live Broadcast
#The relationship between the Sunset City Lord and Wen Tingyun
Rongxing: "......"
"Are you dumbfounded!" Geluotan's fingers slid nimbly as he earnestly instructed, "The ultimate goal of metaphysics is 'knowing the news'! It's 'seeing through the smallest details'!"
"Knowledge is power!"
"Spend more time browsing Xianbo; it's much better than blindly pondering those empty platitudes!"
