Chapter 1344: Release Yan Lu

"Is there something you need?" After a moment of deliberation, Yan Lu finally spoke.

Ning Chen took out a mask and handed it to Yan Lu: "Today is the Wu Lin Assembly of the Human Realm. Come with us. You've been locked inside the Mirror of Mount Mount Kunlun for so long; you must be bored."

Taking the mask, Yan Lu did not expect Ning Chen to say such a thing.

"If we are discovered, it will cause trouble for you all." After all, he was an ancient divine dragon; once discovered, those old men in the heavens would surely come looking for him, perhaps even for all of them.

He had a profound understanding of how persistent and annoying that bunch of old men could be. Moreover, the other dragons would likely be unwilling to let him leave the Tower of Sealed Demons.

"I think I will stay inside the Mirror of Mount Mount Kunlun. The risk of coming out is too great."

Ning Chen looked at Yan Lu and said calmly, "Do you intend to stay inside the Mirror of Mount Mount Kunlun for the rest of your life? I have my own reasons for releasing you. Though you are a divine dragon, you have never experienced anything. Since that is the case, why not experience a little while you are still undetected? However, whether you come or not is your choice."

Having finished speaking, Ning Chen placed a isolation barrier around Yan Lu, then turned and headed for the entrance of the Number One Tea House.

Yan Lu looked at the mask in his hand, rubbed his fingers lightly against it, and let out a helpless smile.

Ning Chen stepped out of the doorway. The others were sitting at the entrance waiting for him; upon seeing Ning Chen arrive, everyone stood up.

"Eh? You, you, you, how did you come out?"

Suddenly, Lin Yi widened his eyes and looked behind Ning Chen, then looked back at Ning Chen, his face suddenly filled with realization as if he understood something.

"Oh, Brother Ning, you're so late. You went to release him, didn't you?"

Behind Ning Chen stood Yan Lu, wearing the mask.

Yan Lu had changed his clothes. This time, he was not wearing red, but a white outfit that matched the white mask. Combined with Ning Chen's isolation barrier that blocked Yan Lu's divine aura, he now possessed an extraordinary bearing, yet within this group, he was not so conspicuous.

After all, there were still Ning Chen and the others here, a few individuals who looked very special.

"To prevent being discovered, please address me by my single name, Yan." Saying this, Yan Lu came to stand beside Ning Chen.

Today, Ning Chen wore a light pink outfit, which matched Gu Yanqi's pink rabbit outfit perfectly.

Although it was pink and tender, on Ning Chen, there was not a trace of incongruity.

It was still that cold temperament, still attracting the attention of others.

Regarding Ning Chen's blatant display of affection, even Miss Hongxiu could now turn a blind eye to it.

There was no choice; if she didn't ignore it, the result would only be eating a mouthful of dog food.

Since the group was now complete, they could set off. Under Miss Hongxiu's lead, everyone headed to the scene of the Wu Lin Assembly.

The scene could be described as a sea of people; there were people everywhere. In the distance stood a high platform, and those sitting on it were mostly individuals whose names carried weight.

Miss Hongxiu led the group directly through the crowd to the high platform. She sat directly in the front seat, pulled Yan Lu to sit beside her, and there were still some seats left behind her.

"You can sit here." Miss Hongxiu turned her head and said to the group.

Given this setup, it was clear these were Miss Hongxiu's exclusive seats, meaning they actually did not need to arrive early to secure a spot.

Lin Yi, whose brain had finally caught up, was completely aggrieved. Help! Why did they have to get up so early? What was the point of arriving so early!

Ning Chen, Gu Yanqi, and Yan Lu sat behind Miss Hongxiu, while the others sat in rows behind them.

"Sister Hongxiu, is it okay for us to sit here?" Gu Yanqi felt somewhat uneasy, because it was obvious these seats were not for ordinary people.

"Rest assured, sit comfortably. I made arrangements long ago. Don't underestimate your Sister Hongxiu; even if I occupied the entire place, no one would say a word."

Miss Hongxiu was indeed a person of widespread fame, and her reputation was not evil, but rather virtuous. One could say she was greatly loved by many Men Sects and the common people.

The people below looked over here, whispering among themselves.

In the Jianghu, it had long been rumored that Miss Hong, who had always been alone, recently had many people around her, and one of them had an extraordinary relationship with Miss Hong.

Now, with Xiao Han sitting beside Miss Hongxiu, all the various rumors in the Jianghu were instantly confirmed.

About a quarter-hour later, the Wu Lin Assembly was about to begin. The one conducting the opening ceremony was the Alliance Leader of the previous Wu Lin Assembly.

This person was the leader of the Nanzhu Men Sect, and he had a long white beard.

Miss Hongxiu explained that the leader of the Nanzhu Men Sect had only been enlightened at the age of seventy, joined the Nanzhu Men Sect to cultivate, and step by step became the leader. However, since he was merely a cultivator, although his lifespan was extended, his appearance remained that of a seventy-year-old.

"Only by ascending to immortality will his appearance restore to his youth, or even become more refined."

After hearing Miss Hongxiu's explanation, Gu Yanqi had a question: If lifespans increase, that implies cultivators in this world should have very long lives. If so, wouldn't the population of this world grow endlessly?

Hearing Gu Yanqi's question, Miss Hongxiu smiled: "Not everyone can cultivate. Ordinary people generally have short lifespans, usually only reaching fifty. Furthermore, cultivators rarely have offspring."

Indeed, every world has its own standards, preventing the collapse of the world.

The Wu Lin Assembly officially began with the words of the former Alliance Leader.

The stage was currently empty. With the descent of one person, the scene instantly became lively.

Miss Hongxiu then acted as a commentator, explaining things to everyone.

"This person is the fourth disciple of the Third Elder of the Beixuanmen Sect. I heard he is particularly skilled in hidden weapons. In any case, he is somewhat famous in the Jianghu."

Before long, another person descended onto the stage, a disciple of the Xibaimen Sect. The opening featured a fight between disciples of two sects, and the scene instantly became lively.

After exchanging bows, the two on the stage began a fierce, evenly matched fight. It was clear both were quite capable, but the outcome was that the disciple of the Beixuanmen Sect was slightly superior.

His hidden weapons were indeed impressive; silver needles pierced the wrist of the Xibaimen Sect disciple without him noticing. During the fight, the continuous flow of blood accelerated the effect of the silver needles.

In the end, even though the Xibaimen Sect disciple realized something was wrong, it was too late; he collapsed directly onto the ground due to total weakness.

The disciple of the Beixuanmen Sect stepped forward, pulled out the silver needle, and the opponent immediately recovered.

And this struggle had already determined the victor; the disciple of the Beixuanmen Sect emerged victorious.
