Chapter 455

Following Did Chi You's escape, the crimson clouds that had originally shrouded half the sky vanished completely.

The Fusang Divine Tree radiated a dazzling light, and then, no longer sensing the demonic energy released by Did Chi You, the divine tree gradually calmed down.

But everyone standing at the summit of Shushan, except for Su Xuan, grew solemn in expression.

After a long silence, Yu Jun looked at Su Xuan with a complex gaze and said, "Earlier, thank you!"

Su Xuan's strength left him in awe; he had never expected that Did Chi You, having broken free from the Yuyuan, would choose to retreat. This meant that the earlier Su Xuan had indeed posed a threat to Did Chi You.

Did Chi You's departure could be considered as having saved the Shilan tribe from the crisis of extinction.

However, Yu Jun did not feel overly fortunate. Although Did Chi You had left because of Su Xuan, the opponent had also stated earlier that he intended to retrieve his full power, which meant that the current Did Chi You was not at his peak state.

Recalling the inside story of that ancient battle recorded in the clan's classics, Yu Jun's mood was very heavy.

According to the records, in ancient times, Did Chi You wielded a demonic sword and once brought an era to extinction. It could be said that he was a great demon beyond reproach. It was only through the combined power of the Profound Maiden, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, and the Dragon God that he was finally successfully executed.

The Did Chi You who had broken free at this moment was indeed blocked by Su Xuan.

But if they could keep Did Chi You here today, how would they deal with him once he retrieved his full power?

The Shilan tribe had ultimately failed the Profound Maiden's trust, failing to guard the seal of the Yuyuan well.

Su Xuan, however, did not have as many thoughts as Yu Jun. If he really had to say what he was thinking, it was mostly that Did Chi You was truly capable of escaping.

He had prepared to keep the opponent there earlier, but he had not expected that the Art of Qi Prohibition would have no effect.

After these thoughts flashed through his mind, he looked at Yu Jun again and asked, "So, the one sealed within the Yuyuan is Did Chi You?"

"You wouldn't let me take the Fusang Divine Tree because this divine tree is suppressing the Yuyuan?"

Upon hearing Su Xuan's question, Yu Jun came back to his senses. He looked at Su Xuan, his gaze becoming incredibly serious.

Not to mention what kind of disaster would be brought about after Did Chi You retrieved his full power.

Su Xuan's existence at least kept him from falling into complete despair. The earlier battle between Su Xuan and Did Chi You meant that Did Chi You was not invincible; the current Su Xuan could still contend with him.

In other words, as long as they defeated Did Chi You before he retrieved his full power.

There was still hope for the human world, and their Shilan tribe still had a chance to make up for their mistakes.

"That is correct!"

Yu Jun nodded, answering Su Xuan's question, and immediately revealed an ancient secret: "In ancient times, Did Chi You held a demonic sword and once brought the entire world to extinction. Later, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan obtained the power of the Profound Maiden and defeated Did Chi You at Zhuolu. Did Chi You was defeated and fled, only to be executed by the Dragon God Yinglong Gengchen in the lands of the South Pole!"

A long time ago, Su Xuan had already had suspicions about the identity of the Dragon God.

In that era, there was only one dragon qualified to be called the Dragon God, and that was "Yinglong." Now, upon hearing Yu Jun's words, he immediately associated it with a passage in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, which could be considered as confirming the true identity of the Dragon God.

It was indeed Yinglong.

However, if the Dragon God was Yinglong, then according to legend, Yinglong stayed until the era of Great Yu's flood control, helping Great Yu control the waters, carving rivers with his tail, opening the Dragon Gate, and capturing Wuzhiqi. Finally, he even transformed into the Lord of the Central Seven Mansions.

The Central Seven Mansions were the most noble stars among the Five Directions and Seven Mansions.

They commanded the Eastern Seven Mansions, Southern Seven Mansions, Western Seven Mansions, and Northern Seven Mansions. Among them, the Eastern Seven Mansions were the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions. Therefore, were the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions related to this Creator Dragon God, Yinglong Yinglong Gengchen?

Numerous thoughts flashed through Su Xuan's mind one by one.

If the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions were related to Yinglong Yinglong Gengchen, the only thing Su Xuan could think of regarding the ominous nature of the Azure Dragon was one thing.

That was, the matter of Did Chi You!

Were the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions related to Did Chi You?

He began to make connections.

On this side, Yu Jun continued to tell Su Xuan about the origin of the Yuyuan.

"Did Chi You died, but his demonic intent did not perish, simply because at that time he slaughtered all living things, devouring too many essences, blood, and souls of the ten thousand spirits. Even though the Dragon God possessed unprecedented power, he could not completely eliminate Did Chi You."

"In the end, it was the Profound Maiden who took action, sealing him forever within the Yuyuan, and then moving the Fusang Divine Tree to suppress the Yuyuan, hoping to rely on the power of time to let Did Chi You's demonic intent perish completely."

"After doing all this, the Profound Maiden saw the land that had become scarred due to Did Chi You's chaos. Thus, she shed a tear of compassion. This tear fell into the human world, the dead living beings were reborn, the earth regained its vitality, and Shilan flowers bloomed. Amidst the fragrance, the remnants of the Han Jiuli tribe felt their guilt deeply, so they requested forgiveness from the Profound Maiden. Finally, the Profound Maiden gave them another chance, letting them guard the Yuyuan to atone for their sins through this task. And this group of people, from then on, abandoned the name of Han Jiuli and changed it to Shilan!"

"This is the origin of my Shilan tribe, and also the origin of the Yuyuan!"

Yu Jun said a lot of things in one breath. If an ordinary person heard these remarks, they would only find it unbelievable, but Su Xuan was not an ordinary person. He had studied the Huang Shi Heavenly Book and had witnessed that ancient battle with his own eyes from the perspective of a bystander.

Coupled with the fact that he was a transmigrator who knew the plot of the original work, and combining it with certain plot points from the theatrical version, he gradually believed that what Yu Jun said was true.

After finishing these matters, Yu Jun thought of a detail from earlier and asked Su Xuan, "The person whose body was occupied by Did Chi You, do you know him?"

Su Xuan did not hide it, "That person is the former Sect Master of my Yin-Yang School, and also a traitor to my Yin-Yang School!"

"So that's how it is!" Yu Jun nodded, "Since that person is someone you know, I wonder if you could..."

"You want me to take action and deal with Did Chi You?" Su Xuan guessed Yu Jun's intention.

Yu Jun nodded.

It was not that he was morally kidnapping Su Xuan, but because he really could not think of any way to deal with Did Chi You. Su Xuan's existence allowed him to see a final glimmer of hope. Even if Su Xuan came from the Yin-Yang School, even if Su Xuan had been an enemy before this, he did not want to give up this tiny hope.

"Rest assured, if Did Chi You truly brings disaster to the human world, I will take action to deal with him!"

Su Xuan gave Yu Jun a promise.

It was not that he wanted to be a savior, but because he lived in this world, some things had to be done.

If the images seen in the Huang Shi Heavenly Book were true, Did Chi You was highly likely to threaten the entire world, and subsequently indirectly threaten the people Su Xuan knew.

Since Su Xuan had this ability, he would absolutely not allow Did Chi You to do such a thing.
