Chapter 377: The Emerging Crack
Listening to the discussion of fellow apprentice Yuan Ling, Yu Sheng stroked his chin and looked thoughtful. After Yuan Hao finished speaking, he nodded gently: "I think no matter what, I have to go there at least once - to the planet called 'Shuji'. I want to see it myself."
"Indeed, we should at least find out the origins of those evil cultivators," Yuan Ling Zhenren nodded with a serious expression, "and there are quite a few of them, they act in an orderly manner, and they have the Immortal Ancestor behind them. It is obvious that they have become a force to be reckoned with. If we don't deal with them soon, there will be a big mess in the future."
Xuan Che, who had been quietly listening to the elders' discussion and had hardly spoken a word the entire time, stepped forward and said, "Master, I am willing to go with Mr. Yu."
"Well, I am more confident that you can do this," Yuan Ling Zhenren nodded, "but there is a person like Yun Qingzi behind this matter, so you should go with a few good hands, otherwise it will be extremely dangerous..."
Before he finished speaking, Yuan Hao, who was standing beside him, had already waved his hand and said, "Oh, no problem. I'll go with Xuan Che. I'm familiar with the place, so you can rest assured."
When Master Yuan Ling heard this, he did not relax at all. Instead, he looked at his senior brother with more uneasiness. After a long while, he said, "If you go, I will be even more worried."
The old man's expression stiffened when he heard this, and he said angrily, "What do you mean?"
Yuan Ling immediately spoke up, "Seventy years ago, you took Xuan Che down the mountain to dance, sixty years ago, you taught Xuan Che to race with flying swords, fifty years ago, you took Xuan Che to collide with a human immortal boat at the top of the atmosphere, and you were unharmed while Xuan Che lay in bed for more than a month. Basically, you take him to get into trouble once every ten years, and it was only twelve years ago when you yourself fell in love with a beauty that made this child stop..."
Before the old man finished speaking, Yuan Hao on the opposite side was already embarrassed. The old commander waved his hands with an embarrassed look on his face: "You can't say that. When a child grows up, he will always have to see the world. Xuan Che is an honest person. He has almost become stupid after following you to make medicine every day. How can I, as his uncle, harm him? Besides, you really misunderstood me fifty years ago. At that time, I was the first to protect Xuan Che..."
"Yes, you protected him in front and pushed him behind you with a palm - you are at the realm of Supreme Harmony, and you will not be hurt even if your head is hit by the immortal boat. However, Xuan Che was slapped to Yaolan Sect by you. By the way, the money for repairing the mountain gate of Yaolan Sect was paid by your junior brother Yuanhe, and you haven't paid it back yet..."
"No, no, no, the guests are here, the guests are here..."
"You also know that the guest is here!"
The two old men started arguing. Yu Sheng and Irene, who were listening nearby, didn't know how to react for a moment, so they could only awkwardly step aside to avoid getting hurt. At the same time, they looked up and saw Xuan Che, who was standing opposite them, also step aside...
Then Yu Sheng and Xuan Che walked aside calmly. Irene even showed a sympathetic look to the latter: "It's not easy for you to grow up."
"I, I still like Master Uncle very much," Xuan Che said in a low voice, as if he was afraid that others would misunderstand him, "He taught me a lot."
What else could Yu Sheng say? Looking at Xuan Che's reaction, he knew that Yuan Ling Zhenren's anger was in vain. The disciple he had cultivated for many years had already been led down a path of no return by the versatile master uncle. His current honest appearance was probably just a latent period.
But after thinking about it, Yu Sheng recalled the online name of Yuan Ling Zhenren. He suddenly felt that a person who could be called 4,000 evil disciples probably had a broad mind about such things...
At this moment, he suddenly felt a vibration in his pocket, and his thoughts were interrupted.
Yu Sheng took out his cell phone and saw that the caller's name on the screen was Zheng Zhi.
There was no need for anything else. Just seeing the two words "Zheng Zhi" made Yu Sheng's heart tremble, and then he answered the phone instantly: "Hello, this is Yu Sheng——"
The next second, he heard his eldest nephew's panicked but calm voice from the other side of the receiver: "Brother Yu, I...something seems a little strange here! Come over here quickly, and it would be best if you bring the old immortal with you..."
Yu Sheng quickly spoke: "What's going on? Where are you?"
"I'm on the Guanyun Terrace," Zheng Zhi lowered his voice unconsciously, as if something extremely dangerous was moving in his field of vision at this moment, "There's a crack in the sky, leading straight into the mountain, but other people said they can't see it!"
"...Shit!" Yu Sheng exclaimed, and then quickly explained, "I know, I'll be there right away. Go to No. 66 Wutong Road right now, or go into your little house, whichever is closer - then close the door and don't run around. Don't come out before I get here!"
"Okay, okay! Brother Yu, come here quickly!" Zheng Zhi responded hurriedly and then hung up the phone.
Of course, the noise from Yu Sheng's side also reached the ears of Master Yuan Ling. The two old men who were originally arguing (although Master Yuan Hao looked quite young) stopped arguing instantly. Master Yuan Ling immediately noticed the seriousness in Yu Sheng's expression and came over immediately: "What happened?"
"Zheng Zhi saw a large-scale 'strange phenomenon' on the Guanyun Terrace. I'm afraid that the foreign land is about to open its doors again," Yu Sheng said quickly, "Let's not worry about trivial matters for now, let's go over there quickly!"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and grabbed the air beside him. An illusory door took shape in his hand in an instant, and the scenery on the Guanyun Terrace was reflected opposite the door.
Xuan Che walked into the gate without saying a word, and Master Yuan Ling also walked towards the door, but he suddenly stopped and looked back at his brothers and sisters who had not moved: "What are you two waiting for? Come here quickly."
Yuan He Zhenren finally reacted. He quickly suppressed his doubts and walked through the gate as his senior brother instructed. However, Yuan Hao Zhenren raised his head in front of the gate, frowned slightly, and looked puzzled.
"How does this work?"
Yu Sheng almost spit out his anger when he heard this: "Why does everyone have to ask this question again?"
Fortunately, he didn't need to really answer anything, because Yuan Ling Zhenren pushed Yuan Hao and forced his way into the door the next second, without giving his senior brother a chance to continue his research.
Yu Sheng also carried Irene and walked quickly through the gate.
The forbidden courtyard fell silent in the blink of an eye. Soon, only Linlang, who was wearing a black dress and a veil, was left in the open space. The woman in charge of guarding the Heart-Searching Pavilion watched her master, uncles, and brothers walk through a door and leave one by one. Finally, even the strange "guest" ran away. After a long while, she blinked her eyes and muttered to herself: "...You need to register when you leave the Heart-Searching Pavilion."
But at this time Yu Sheng had already arrived at the Guanyun Terrace.
This high platform located on the back mountain of Queyun Palace seems to be normal. The sea of clouds outside the carved railings and jade walls slowly rises and falls in the sunlight, and the beautiful sky in the distance remains the same, as if nothing has happened.
But when Yu Sheng came over, he saw Rapunzel and Cinderella standing at the door of No. 66 Wutong Road. The nervous expressions on their faces told him that something really happened here.
"Where is Zheng Zhi?" Yu Sheng asked immediately.
"He went into the house," the long-haired man pointed to No. 66 Wutong Road, then looked at Yu Sheng nervously, "Brother, we saw him just now!"
Yu Sheng was immediately shocked: "...What!? You saw it too?"
"Yes, it was just a blink of an eye, very blurry. When Zheng Zhi entered the door," Rapunzel nodded and pointed to a spot in the sky near the main peak of Qianfeng Lingshan Mountain. "There was a crack in the sky, and it was like a nearly transparent black lightning, which 'struck' directly into the forest below. It was so scary!"
Yu Sheng subconsciously turned around and looked in the direction of Rapunzel's finger, but he only saw normal mountains, forests and clouds, nothing else.
At this moment, the door of No. 66 Wutong Road was carefully opened. Zheng Zhi poked half of his head out from inside, and after seeing Yu Sheng, he hesitantly said, "Brother Yu, can I come out when you arrive?"
Yu Sheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Come out, come out."
Only then did Zheng Zhi muster up the courage to come out.
Then after a while, Hu Li and Luna also pushed the door open and walked out - and both of them were already in combat mode, Luna's hands were equipped with shining fingertip blades, and Hu Li was followed by the Eight-door Fox Cannon...
Yuan Hao and Yuan He both opened their eyes wide the moment Zheng Zhi pushed the door open, and both pairs of eyes stared at the direction of No. 66 Wutong Road without blinking. For a moment, they didn't even know which scene to marvel at first - Master Yuan Hao had cast seven or eight talismans on himself but still didn't understand how the door appeared out of thin air, and Master Yuan He's eyes almost popped out after seeing a bunch of tails floating in the air behind Hu Li.
After holding it in for a long time, Master Yuan He suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Hey! Isn't this a hundred times better than my evil disciples who can only refine three-dimensional cockroaches and battle-hardened mosquitoes?!"
"A hundred times? Ten thousand times! The weird things they raise are more than just the two you mentioned," Yuan Ling Zhenren sighed after hearing this, and there was even a bit of heartache in his tone, "If you don't take care of those naughty apprentices in your Beast Taming Peak, my medicine garden will be ruined by those evil beasts they tame!"
Yuan He Zhenren lowered his head awkwardly: "Yes, I will take care of it. I will take care of it."
At this time, Yu Sheng had already begun to understand with his nephew about the "illusion" he had just seen. He quickly confirmed the direction, shape, duration of the "crack" and other suspicious shadows that appeared around the crack at that time. After a simple judgment of the landing point of the "crack", he suddenly had an idea.
Then he reacted suddenly, raised his hand and pointed at the mountain while turning to look at Yuan Ling Zhenren: "Look in this direction...isn't this the location of the Demon Suppression Tower?!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire Guanyun Terrace fell silent in an instant.
Yuan Ling Zhenren's expression also froze instantly. He looked in the direction of Yu Sheng's finger, and two seconds later he clapped his hands: "...Not good!"
