Chapter 632: Anlan Calls for Help

That day, the spring breeze was bright and the spring warmth brought flowers into bloom.

A young girl wearing a light green satin fur-lined jacket, with a bright pearl hanging at her neck and full of youthful spirit, led a horse to the foot of Mount Shaoshi.

For Zhang Sanfeng, no matter what, he could never forget this day.

"Miss Guo Xiang!"

Zhang Sanfeng was astonished; no, it should be the elderly Zhang Sanfeng who was astonished.

Since the last time he met Guo Xiang, a full sixty-year cycle had passed, perhaps even longer.

In his memory, the heroine Guo Xiang should have died long ago; why did she suddenly appear before his eyes now?

Moreover, this had always been one of the greatest secrets he kept sealed in the depths of his heart. For this girl, who was as lively as an elf yet possessed a heroic spirit no less than a man's, Zhang Sanfeng had always harbored admiration, only at that time he was merely a novice monk at the Shaolin Temple, penniless and unknown.

"Zhang Junbao, what are you dazed for? After our parting at Mount Hua last time, do you not recognize this heroine anymore?"

Guo Xiang walked up to greet him; every smile and frown of hers was deeply branded in Zhang Sanfeng's heart, everything as if it were yesterday.

Zhang Sanfeng seemed not to have reacted, his memories reviving in his mind.

Many years ago, atop Mount Hua, he and his master Jueyuan, along with several Shaolin disciples, were tracking two of the Three Heroes of Menggu: Yin Kexi and Xiaoxiangzi.

These two had stolen the Shaolin scripture, the Lengjia Sutra; this was no ordinary scripture, as it contained the profound internal art, the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

At that time, it also happened to be the last Mount Hua Sect Leader.

The Divine Condor, the Eastern Heretic, the Southern Emperor, and others were all there.

Zhang Sanfeng and his master recovered the Lengjia Sutra and at the same time became acquainted with Guo Xiang, though it was only a fleeting encounter with no deep interaction.

Unexpectedly, many years later, Guo Xiang had come to the foot of Mount Shaoshi and still recognized him.

"Heroine Guo Xiang, why have you come to Shaolin?" Zhang Sanfeng asked.

Guo Xiang suddenly revealed a look of sorrow and said:

"It happens that the world is in chaos, the Tartars have moved south, and wherever they pass, the common people cannot make a living.

I want to gather a group of martial artists to strike against the Tartars together, to protect the Central Plains' rivers and mountains, and to protect the people."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng was filled with solemn respect.

Guo Xiang continued: "Zhang Junbao, didn't you once say you wanted to roam the world? This heroine sees that you are gifted; you would be a great helper in resisting the Tartars. Would you like to join me?"

"But I am a Shaolin disciple?" Zhang Sanfeng said subconsciously.

"You aren't a real monk; didn't you say you were a lay disciple? Master Jueyuan passed away three years ago. Staying here will surely bury your talent; it would be better to roam for a while, perhaps you will become famous in the martial arts world later and establish your own sect," Guo Xiang said.

Zhang Sanfeng was still hesitating, having forgotten that he was in a mental world.

"If you don't agree, then I'm leaving."

Guo Xiang led her horse, her back turned to Zhang Sanfeng.

Zhang Sanfeng's thoughts were not clear, a sense of reluctance arose in his heart, and after considering for a long time, he said:

"Fine, I will join Heroine Guo to resist the Tartars and protect the people of the Central Plains."

At the same time, in the Chat Group.

Originally, Zhang Sanfeng had been livestreaming, allowing everyone to see the battle with the masked person.

But suddenly, the screen shifted, also arriving at the foot of Mount Shaoshi.

The young Zhang Sanfeng and the young Guo Xiang appeared before everyone's eyes, while Zhang Sanfeng himself did not realize the projection of the Chat Group.

Demon Queen: "What is the situation? Why has Old Zhang been rejuvenated?"

Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Don't know? It was quite sudden. And not to mention, Old Zhang looked quite honest when he was young. By the way, who is this young girl? Could she be Old Zhang's 'white moonlight'?"

Uchiha Dance King: "Ahem, according to my deduction, True Person Zhang has likely fallen for the illusion of that masked person. Everything at this moment is a manifestation of what is in True Person Zhang's heart."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "? Damn. The Chat Group can actually manifest an illusion world; in fact, to put it plainly, it's a mental world."

Leader of the Exploding Heavens Faction: "It's a good thing this looks like a decent illusion; if it were an indecent one... ahem ahem ahem."

Demon Queen: "Damn, this Xu Ergou is really a bit perverted."

Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Such a broken road, this car is driving so smoothly, hehe."

Immortal King Anlan: "Help..."

Zui Ai He Shounai: "An Lao Liu, what are you saying? Help with what?"

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Help?"

Immortal King Anlan: "Ahem, nothing, my head twitched just now, haha."

The Dark Ye Heavenly Emperor hurriedly explained, and the others didn't really suspect anything; the Chat Group was originally for bragging, saying whatever one wanted to say.

Playboy: "According to my deduction, Immortal King An is just trying to show his presence."

Immortal King Anlan: "Haha, you guessed it."

The Heavenly Emperor breathed a sigh of relief; he had just been careless and let Anlan seize an opportunity, almost revealing a flaw.

The current situation was that his Primordial Spirit had devoured Anlan's Primordial Spirit, so his connection to the Chat Group was actually one, but the true spirit of a powerhouse at the level of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor is hard to destroy, so it would strike back from time to time.

In the mental world, the Heavenly Emperor looked coldly at Anlan's true spirit. Anlan was currently suppressed inside the dark Mother Qi of All Things Cauldron, his whole body bound by dark chains, unable to move, his breath fading.

"Anlan, why continue these pointless struggles? The gap between our realms is like that of a firefly and the bright moon, or like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Isn't it better to just honestly be devoured by this Emperor?" Ye Fan said.

Anlan's face was full of unwillingness, and he said:

"At the peak of the immortals, looking down on the world, only with me, Anlan, is there a heaven.

This seat has cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years to achieve the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm; how can I be a stepping stone for others?"

At the same time, Anlan was also very unconvinced. Both were mental worlds, both were livestreaming, why did Zhang Sanfeng's mental world have a projection, while his mental world did not?

This was clearly targeting and discrimination.

If his mental world were also projected once, perhaps Xuan Ge and the others would discover that the current Anlan was not the beloved Immortal King Anlan.

Ye Fan was indifferent and said calmly: "Below the Immortal Emperor, all are ants. If it weren't for the variables that occurred eons ago, why would this Emperor's fate be changed after eons?

So when you toy with time, time will also toy with you."

"Besides, with your talent, Quasi-Immortal Emperor is already the limit; how could it be so easy to break through to Immortal Emperor?"

"Now that your body is occupied by this seat, with the blessing of my Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit, it won't take ten thousand years to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm, hahaha."

As Ye Fan continued to refine and suppress, Anlan's consciousness grew weaker and weaker, about to fall into a deep slumber.

He did not expect that the blackened Ye Laoliu would be so black-bellied, truly leaving no path for survival.

According to the current trend, he really could not hold on much longer.

Chat Group.

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "An Lao Liu, this doesn't sound like you. Tony is teasing you like this, and you don't even retort."

Playboy: "Brother Ye Fan, you're in the wrong here; that's slander and defamation."

Immortal King Anlan: "Ye Laoliu, don't stir up trouble; Tony and I are like brothers!"

Ye Fan spoke, imitating An Lao Liu's tone.

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Damn, you old monster have already lived for hundreds of thousands of years."

Playboy: "Tsk tsk, you heard that. Given Brother Anlan's seniority, he could clearly be my ancestor, yet he insists on being brothers—this is what you call having class."

Scripture Seeker: "Ahem, good brother, show some loyalty. Anlan, you must cherish this brotherhood."

Immortal King Anlan: "I obey the teachings of Xuanzang Sheng Seng."

Heavenly Emperor Ye replied in a hurry, not daring to be negligent. This Xuanzang Sheng Seng was ridiculously strong; even at his own peak, he would not be his opponent.

Demon Queen: "A child worth teaching!"

Zui Ai He Shounai: "Something's wrong, something's wrong."

Heavenly Emperor Ye's heart tightened; could it be that Xiao Shi had sensed something?

For the sake of the future grand plan, should he secretly control Xiao Shi as well?

There was no help for it; in Anlan's memories, Ye Laoliu and Shi Laoliu were the people he was most familiar with.

He wasn't afraid of the others!

Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "What's wrong, Little Stone?"

Zui Ai He Shounai: "I can't put my finger on it."

Na Du Tong Backbone Feng Baobao: "An Lao Liu used to call him Xuan Ge, but now he calls him Xuanzang Sheng Seng; it's a bit too polite."

Exploding Heavens Faction Leader: "That doesn't count for much. Although Xuanzang Sheng Seng is very easygoing, we must also face the gap and show respect where it's due. Xuan Ge, am I right?"

Han Paopao of the Seven Profound Sect: "It makes some sense, but not much."

Exploding Heavens Faction Leader: "Damn, Han Paopao, you just keep hiding, don't come out."

Immortal King Anlan: "Ahem, only after reaching the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm did I realize how big the gap is with Xuan Ge, and how arrogant I was before. Now, my respect comes from the heart."

Heavenly Emperor Ye spoke to explain, and this explanation had no issues.

Scripture Seeker: "Is that so? But I still prefer your previous unruly appearance."

Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Hahaha!"

Demon Queen: "As expected of you, Xuanzang Diliu."

Scripture Seeker: "..."

Xuanzang directly slapped Morgana across space and time, making her scalp tingle and her whole body convulse.

Demon Queen: "Damn, Xuanzang, you really went for the kill; you slapped the Queen's butt until it bled."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Can someone tell me what happened?"

Na Du Tong Backbone Feng Baobao: "What else could it be? It must be that big shot Xuanzang using his divine abilities again, hammering Morgana from his own world!"

Immortal King Anlan: "!"

Heavenly Emperor Ye was shocked; Xuanzang's strength was actually this terrifying, able to hit people across worlds. And this wasn't even the same worldview; he had directly broken the dimensional wall.

Fortunately, he had been very decisive when suppressing Anlan the Sixth; it was almost instantaneous.

If he had let Anlan succeed in calling for help, he feared he would have been finished, so he hurriedly increased the speed of refining Anlan's true spirit.

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Damn!"

Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Sob sob sob, boohoo, why, Brother Xuanzang, why reward Morgana? I want it too!"

Demon Queen: "You pervert, ridiculous."

Diviner: "Everyone, be a little more reserved."

Group Owner Yan Shuangying shivered, unsure if Xuanzang would give her a hit too.

Scripture Seeker: "Morgana. This is just a small punishment. Is it appropriate to call a Great Luo Golden Immortal a Diliu? Next time, it won't just be a slap; I'll make you bloom."

Demon Queen: "..., sigh!"

Number One Golden Core of Kyushu: "Don't worry, this Sword Immortal can take it; we cultivators have good physiques."

Spring and Autumn Sword Deity: "Ahem, having said that, shouldn't we be worried about Old Zhang?"

Sword of the Human World: "I don't think so; True Person Zhang seems to be enjoying it."

Bad Commander: "However, can anyone explain Old Zhang's dream, and who is the 'white moonlight' that Old Zhang can't forget?"

Diviner: "This brings us back to the story of the Legend of the Condor Heroes and the Return of the Condor Heroes; it goes like this... and like that..."

Yan Shuangying gave a concise introduction to the bond between Zhang Sanfeng and Guo Xiang.

Sword of the Human World: "There's such a convoluted story?"

Little Fairy of Peach Blossom Island: "Uh... so Guo Xiang is my daughter? I'm still an unmarried maiden, okay?"

Spring and Autumn Sword Deity: "That's true, we are all in the same world; Little Rong'er is indeed not married, so where would a daughter come from?"

First Extraordinary Woman of the Yin-Yang School: "Have you forgotten? Our several martial arts planes merged later on, with multiple dynasties coexisting to become the Kyushu world. Although the world merged, some people still retain their original memories."

Xiao Yanlingji: "That's right (popping in)"

Little Fairy of Peach Blossom Island: "Damn, so I ended up eating a melon about myself."

Spirit Hall Pope: "Come to think of it, this little Guo Xiang is very similar to Rong Meimei; the playfulness between those brows is exactly the same."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Congratulations to Rong Meimei on gaining a daughter."

Peach Blossom Island Little Fairy: "Get lost! I haven't even married yet, and this is just an illusion, not real."

Spring and Autumn Sword Deity: "That is correct, this is ultimately an illusion. Old Zhang has lived for over a hundred years; as a martial arts Grandmaster, his cultivation is supernatural, and his state of mind is naturally as steady as a rock, unmoved by external things."

Although this illusion is strange, I feel that with Old Zhang's willpower, he should not be lost in it."

Uchiha Dance King: "Perhaps it is not an ordinary illusion. The ocular jutsu of the Uchiha Sharingan, the most powerful Kotoamatsukami, can even alter a person's will and tamper with their memories. This masked person is also a Transmigrator, I fear that True Person Zhang..."

Bad Commander: "Old Li, that is easy for you to say. Guo Xiang is Old Zhang's 'white moonlight'; who wouldn't be lost in it if it were their 'white moonlight'?"

If it were you, and you encountered Fengdu Lupao in an illusion, would you be willing to leave?"

Spring and Autumn Sword Deity: "Fine, even knowing it is an illusion, I might prefer to live in a drunken dream and remain lost in it."

Bad Commander: "If I could be granted a dream, a dream where the Great Tang is restored and the country is prosperous and the people are at peace within the four seas, I would not wish to wake up either."

Han Paopao of the Seven Profound Sect: "But now is not the time for romantic feelings; it is still an illusion. If True Person Zhang does not walk out, then the outcome will be dangerous."

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "That's simple, just send a message directly to Old Zhang."

Exploding Heavens Faction Leader: "I have already sent one, but it says the message failed to send."

Diviner: "No need to send any more; this is a Chat Group permission restriction. None of us can wake Old Zhang up. This might be Old Zhang's tribulation, one he must overcome himself."

Spring and Autumn Sword Deity: "Then it is dangerous, as the masked person outside will not just be watching."

Bad Commander: "Indeed!"

Na Du Tong Backbone Feng Baobao: "How about we just use the Crossing Crystal to go over and protect Old Man Zhang?"

Diviner: "It's useless, the Chat Group has also blocked the Crossing Crystal; we cannot travel between planes either."

Na Du Tong Backbone Feng Baobao: "Diliu behavior!"

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "Xuan Ge, if True Person Zhang is really going to kick the bucket, only you can intervene."

Journey to the West Scripture Seeker: "No need to be so pessimistic; we must have faith in True Person Zhang. After all, True Person Zhang is also a Master of his generation."
