Chapter 545: No Escape?
Chapter 545: No Escape? (Update 2)
Including the previous time he listened to the heavenly sound, this was the third time Li Yuan saw Chi Lian.
He had looked at her twice before, but just like Huang Longzi and other great masters, the light of her weapon was shrouded in a layer of light mist.
But at this moment, with a glance, the lights of various weapons were clearly visible.
Among them, there are three magic weapons above the seventh level, but the one that caught his attention the most is not the [Red Cloud Whip (Tenth Level)] and the [Red Cloud Robe (Ninth Level)], but...
【General Knowledge Ball (Level 7)】
[…One of the sub-bodies that was separated from the ‘Taixu Mirror’… Holding it, one can sleepwalk in the ‘Taixu Divine Realm’…]
[Control Condition: Red Lotus]
【Control effect: ???】
General knowledge ball!
Li Yuan could hardly take his eyes off it after just a quick glance. He was obsessed with the little female dragon and the magic weapon that seemed to be related to the 'virtual world', and he also had some thoughts about it.
"cough!"
Seeing that he was a little distracted, Long Xixiang coughed lightly and reminded him: "Don't be rude in front of Senior Qin."
"The junior lost his temper."
Li Yuan quickly collected his thoughts and bowed to apologize.
"When young, everyone has a crush on Ai. How can you be unreasonable and accuse me of a crime?"
Qin Yun waved his hands, not taking it seriously, and just smiled: "Come to think of it, this isn't the first time you've met, right?"
Young Mu Ai...
Li Yuan almost choked, but luckily he had perfect control over his body and didn't show any abnormality: "I met Senior Chi Lian once before."
"I've seen it."
Chi Lian was very frugal with words, but she couldn't help but clench her fingers that were holding the umbrella handle. She was naturally also sizing up Li Yuan, but her divine realm was sealed and her spiritual appearance was suppressed, so she couldn't use her secret technique to observe his talent for the time being.
But it was a fact that she had made a mistake. She doubted the secret techniques of the academy, but she would not doubt the Eight Directions Temple. Those who could be invited to open the temple must have talents of at least the sixth level!
But I still found it incredible that a real dragon could be born in such a small quagmire. This kind of thing has only appeared in legends.
"It's a pity that she made a mistake."
Qin Yun glanced at Chi Lian and felt a little disturbed. Didn’t he also make a mistake?
This kid's physique is probably more special and strange than expected. It's lucky that he met me. If he met the master...
Qin Yun's eyelids twitched, not knowing what he was thinking about.
"Senior Qin, I have already arranged a banquet. How about moving? It is too windy here to discuss business."
At this time, Nie Xianshan spoke.
"Then move a few steps?"
Qin Yun saw nothing wrong with it.
"Senior please."
Long Xixiang was quite enthusiastic and led the way.
Li Yuan followed behind, his eyes occasionally glancing at Chi Lian, or to be more precise, the General Knowledge Ball. He was envious, but this thing seemed to be bound?
'This boy...'
Chi Lian just felt her body go cold. The way this boy looked at her was too warm. Could it be that he really liked her?
She felt a little disgusted, but then she changed her mind and became active again. Although this kid came from a poor family, he had amazing talent and became the founder of a temple.
Just in case...
Several people had different thoughts, and soon they arrived at Jingtao Hall. Xin Wenhua had already prepared the banquet and was standing in front of the hall to greet them.
The atmosphere at the table was quite good. Both Long Xixiang and Nie Xianshan were quite enthusiastic about this old senior and kept discussing topics such as martial arts practice, spiritual appearance, and divine realm.
Li Yuan drank a pot of Baicao Wine and memorized the conversations between the people in his mind. He pondered over what he could understand and wrote down what he could not understand. The so-called martial arts foundation was accumulated bit by bit in this way.
At the banquet, Qin Yun did not mention the purpose of his visit, and Long Xixiang and the others also tacitly did not ask. They just raised their glasses and chatted, as if they were meeting old friends again.
'Why did he come to see me?'
Li Yuan turned the wine glass and thought in his heart that with the Red Snake in his hand, if Qin Yun just wanted to enter the temple, there was no need for him to come looking for him.
Being somewhat alert in his heart, Li Yuan also raised his glass from time to time, but part of his attention was always on Chi Lian. This alien visitor had obviously suffered a great loss at the hands of Qin Yun.
He didn't dare to look at Qin Yun the whole time.
"General Knowledge Ball..."
Li Yuan was still thinking about this, he quietly pressed the Mirage Dragon Belt around his waist and awakened the sleeping little female dragon.
The latter was absorbing his true energy to repair his broken divine realm. After being awakened, he was displeased at first, but soon realized something was wrong.
"General Knowledge Ball!"
The little female dragon's voice was extremely sharp: "Who, who is this woman? The purple jade on her waist is the ball of general knowledge!"
"Her name is Chi Lian, and she claims to be from the Poison Dragon Academy."
Li Yuan took a sip of wine calmly and communicated with the little female dragon.
"Poison Dragon Academy?"
The little female dragon was startled, but soon calmed down: "Humph, the true teachings of the Poison Dragon Academy rarely leave Tianshiyuan. This woman is at most an inner disciple, and her status is not much higher than mine!"
"Humph, Poison Dragon disciple, so great?"
"Well, the inner disciples of the Poison Dragon Academy have a much higher status than the descendants of the Mirage Dragon King."
Li Yuan translated automatically in his mind. He had some understanding of this little female dragon. The more she emphasized, the less he knew.
"Unfortunately, once the general knowledge ball recognizes its owner, it cannot be replaced..."
The little female dragon muttered: "How about you grab it first?"
"..."
Li Yuan drank his wine slowly and talked with the little female dragon. Chi Lian's appearance greatly stimulated her, and she spoke much more frequently than usual.
"Speaking of which, the reason I came to Hengshan this time was for this kid."
Halfway through the banquet, Qin Yun suddenly spoke, and the table suddenly became quiet. The smiles on Long Xixiang and Nie Xianshan's faces also disappeared.
"May I ask what do you want from him, Senior?"
Long Xixiang was standing next to Li Yuan, and his expression was a little solemn at the moment. "Of course it's related to the Bafang Temple."
Qin Yun didn't even put down his glass. He didn't seem to notice the tension of the people at the table. He just glanced at them calmly:
"I personally witnessed the imperial court's divine sacrifice."
After he said this, the atmosphere at the table suddenly became more solemn. Nie Xianshan put down his wine glass, and the Chunyang Sword beside him trembled and made a "clang" sound.
"How can we trust the tricks of the imperial court?"
Long Xixiang glanced at Xin Wenhua, who quickly collected his thoughts and filled Qin Yun's glass with wine.
"The God-Seeing Ceremony is a secret ritual of the Tianshiyuan Cloud Demon Clan. By performing this ritual, one can indeed glimpse a glimpse of the future."
Chi Lian spoke at the right time.
"Is what you said true?"
Nie Xianshan sneered: "The imperial court cannot be trusted, and neither can aliens from outer space!"
"I can still believe it."
Qin Yun glanced at Nie Xianshan and was somewhat speechless: "You don't have to be so nervous. Can I embarrass a junior?"
"Senior, please explain your purpose."
Long Xixiang also held down his wine glass.
Li Yuan silently changed his helm. With ten bone ornaments on his body, his perception suddenly rose to the extreme. He concentrated his senses and could vaguely sense the emotional changes of the people present.
The old dragon head was nervous, Nie Laodao was apprehensive but eager to try, Chi Lian was furious, and Qin Yun...
"Like a dormant volcano..."
Li Yuan didn't sense any malicious intent, but he didn't let his guard down either.
"It is also related to the Bafang Temple."
Qin Yun thought for a moment and looked at Chi Lian: "You tell me."
Chi Lian's face was as gloomy as water. Li Yuan could sense her rage, but she didn't show it at all. She nodded and said:
"The Eight Directions Temple once wandered in the Tianshiyuan for a long time, and it was also opened... Tianshiyuan is what you call the Heaven Beyond Heaven."
"impossible!"
Before she finished her words, the little dragon shouted, "Why haven't I heard of it?!"
"Listen to her first."
Li Yuan pressed his belt.
The table fell silent, and everyone looked at Chi Lian, who glanced at Li Yuan and said:
"That time, someone entered the Eight Directions Temple. Not long after, the Eight Directions Temple burst into a dazzling light, alarming all the forces in Tianshiyuan and rushing in..."
"Ok?"
Li Yuan's eyelids twitched.
"You mean, once the Bafang Temple is opened, it will definitely alert other forces in Tianshiyuan?"
Long Xixiang's expression changed.
He didn't know much about Tian Shiyuan, but if the appearance of the Eight Directions Temple attracted extraterrestrial forces, it would obviously not be a good thing.
"good."
Chi Lian looked indifferent.
"What is the Heaven Beyond Heaven, the Heavenly Market, you just say it exists, what do you mean by that?"
Nie Xianshan didn't believe it, and frowned as he looked at Qin Yun: "Master Qin, please speak frankly."
"It really should be you who enters the Bafang Temple this time."
Qin Yun sighed. He missed Long Yingchan a little. This old Taoist had been traveling through mountains and forests for decades, dealing with birds and beasts a lot, so it was too difficult to communicate with him.
If you don't believe anything, what else can you say?
"Soon after this, how long will it be?"
Li Yuan suddenly spoke, attracting everyone at the table to look over.
Chi Lian was a little surprised and replied:
"The last time the Wuxian Sect Master opened the temple, the sun shone brightly over the stars. Maybe it will be a hundred years this time as well?"
Chi Lian was not sure. She came here with her fellow disciples to catch the old turtle. She did not come to look for the Bafang Temple and had not deliberately inquired for any information.
Is this the disaster?
Li Yuan's heart moved, but he believed it mostly.
When he was listening to the heavenly music, the wooden scroll also mentioned disaster. If many forces from Tianshiyuan came one after another, it would definitely not be a good thing.
But when he thought about it, he felt that something was not right.
Even if there really is an alien force trying to enter the Bafang Temple, it might not be an irresistible disaster for him, right?
Or is it that you can neither fight nor escape?
"Whether there will be a force from outer space, good or bad, no one can predict, but that's not what I want to talk about..."
Qin Yun glanced at everyone and his eyes fell on Li Yuan:
"The sun shines on the stars and illuminates Tianshiyuan. How dazzling a light can be seen by so many forces in Tianshiyuan at the same time? You know, Tianshiyuan is a place where stars gather. It is vast and boundless..."
"Um?!"
Before he finished speaking, the faces of everyone present had changed.
"You mean?"
The Pure Yang Sword rang and trembled. Nie Xianshan was shocked and suspicious, but he couldn't help but look outside the palace door, at the sunlight reflected on the snow and icicles:
"sun?"
sun!
Li Yuan's heart beat violently for a moment, but he looked at the big black umbrella that Chi Lian had never put down.
"good."
Chi Lian raised her black umbrella slightly and said calmly:
"Originating in the 73rd epoch, the Eight Directions Temple appeared in Tianshiyuan. At the right time, it bloomed to its fullest for three days, shining brightly and illuminating the galaxy!"
