Chapter 545: Crossing Space-Time Again
Lian Ye and Zhi Cun Tuan Zang returned to the original space-time via the dragon vein.
"You've returned?"
Queen Loulan looked at the returning pair in surprise; she hadn't expected that the dragon vein could actually traverse space-time!
These past days, she had been worried that the two might die in the dragon vein's space-time turbulence.
If Konoha learned of this, Loulan would certainly be sacrificed for it!
Fortunately, her worry was unnecessary; the two encountered no danger on this trip.
"Hmm, we have returned," Lian Ye said, shifting tone, "but we will leave immediately."
Queen Loulan was momentarily taken aback, thinking Lian Ye wanted to leave Loulan and return to Konoha.
"You two, be at liberty!"
She stepped aside, preparing to let the two depart.
Lian Ye and Zhi Cun Tuan Zang stood where they were, with no intention of leaving.
"Your Majesty, you may have misunderstood."
Queen Loulan: "???"
"You aren't planning to have me keep opening the dragon vein, are you?"
She said it offhand, but Lian Ye unexpectedly nodded.
"That's right, we need to trouble you again."
"Traversing space-time is extremely perilous; I hope you think it over," Queen Loulan advised.
She certainly didn't want the two to disappear in the dragon vein's shockwave, not knowing life or death.
Frankly, she feared that because of Lian Ye and Zhi Cun Tuan Zang, the whole Loulan would be implicated...
"We've thought it through; you can rest assured."
Lian Ye could tell at a glance that Queen Loulan had never traversed space-time, and in fact there was no danger at all.
If the queen learned his thoughts, she would surely be furious.
No good person would use the dragon vein's power for such a thing! A single slip and Loulan could be destroyed by the dragon vein's force!
As queen, she naturally could not do such a thing.
If the Hokage hadn't offered generous terms, she would never have agreed to the two's outrageous plan.
"Since you've thought it through, I can help you open the dragon vein seal."
Queen Loulan saw the two were resolved and had no intention of further persuasion.
With their strength, they shouldn't encounter danger.
Speaking thus, she opened the dragon vein seal again; the more she did it, the more proficient she became.
Whether it was Lian Ye and the other, or Queen Loulan, they were all very skilled.
Soon the two embarked on another space-time traversal.
Queen Loulan, seeing the two vanish, immediately sealed the dragon vein, then sat down on the ground exhausted.
"I hope they stop fooling around."
The scene was fully observed by Bai Jue, hidden in the shadows, who then stopped watching and turned to leave Loulan.
This matter must be reported to Heijue and Madara Uchiha!
A secret chamber deep beneath the Ninja World.
"Heijue, once your plan succeeds, you can revive me."
Madara Uchiha finished his instructions and intended to lift the Impure Earth Reincarnation himself.
This body is too frail to carry out the Moon's Eye project.
Fortunately, with his prior scheming, he believes that as long as Heijue follows his plan, one day he can return to the Ninja World.
Not with an Impure Earth body, but with Reincarnation Born, a true resurrection!
Then the Ninja World will have no one able to stop him from achieving his ideal.
"I understand, Lord Ban."
Heijue said politely on the surface, but inwardly was eager for Ban to leave quickly.
That guy does nothing all day except know how to issue orders to it.
Madara Uchiha nodded with satisfaction, forming hand seals to prepare to cancel the Impure World Reincarnation.
At that moment, a Bai Jue hurried back to report.
"Lord Ban, Lord Heijue, Uchiha Lianye and Zhi Cun Tuan Zang used the dragon vein and seem to have traversed to another space-time!"
Bai Jue said no nonsense and directly reported the finding.
Madara Uchiha's hand forming the seal paused, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"That kid used the dragon vein to traverse space-time?"
He had heard of the dragon vein before but never paid it any mind; he didn't expect it had such a function!
... space-time traversal...
Heijue was equally shocked, feeling a bit unsettled.
If Chu Zi traversed to another space-time and couldn't return, mother would have no Chu Zi to use!
Damn, that guy isn't even sunbathing in the Village, so why waste time traversing space-time for no reason!
Seems he's still too idle; when mother revives, he'll have to make gourmet dishes every day!
Provided Chu Zi can return from the other space-time.
Otherwise, they'd painfully lose a top chef hired at great expense.
"Interesting, I didn't expect the dragon vein to have such a clever use," Madara Uchiha said with interest.
"Lord Ban, do you want to follow inside?" Heijue asked curiously.
"No need; first revive me according to the plan."
Madara Uchiha shook his head, then formed a seal again to cancel Impure Earth Reincarnation.
Although he wanted to see whether his counterpart in another timeline had succeeded, now was not the time to go.
He would consider it only after he is fully revived…
Heijue watched Madara Uchiha disappear, a calculating glint flashing in his eyes.
"Ban, you are also just a pawn."
Saying that, it turned its head toward the reporting Bai Jue and said, "Continue back to Loulan surveillance; as soon as Chu Zi emerges, inform me immediately."
"Understood, Lord Heijue."
As Bai Jue left, only Heijue remained alone in the secret chamber.
"Chu Zi, do you know which timeline you traversed to?"
No matter which timeline Lian Ye traverses, it only hopes Chu Zi can return safely.
Otherwise, when mother is revived in the future, there will be no gourmet food left.
The cooking skills of other Chu Zi in the Ninja World can't compare at all with Lian Ye's!
The Lian Ye who just arrived in another timeline had no idea anyone still cared about his safety.
"Tuan Cang, why are we in a forest again?" Lian Ye looked at the surroundings with a strange expression, "Logically we should be at Loulan's location; why have we appeared in a forest twice?"
Judging by the surroundings, it must be Fire Country again, not having escaped.
"Who knows?" Regarding his good brother's doubt, Tuan Cang also didn't know, and shifted the topic, saying, "Let's look for a village first."
Lian Ye nodded at the words, thinking this was the only option.
To quickly grasp the timeline, all he needed was to locate Konoha Village as a reference point.
Zhi Cun Tuan Zang acted as guide, walking at the front, while Lian Ye followed silently behind.
Actually, Lian Ye had just voluntarily asked to lead the way, but Zhi Cun Tuan Zang had mercilessly refused.
Let him handle the guiding then.
Arriving in an unfamiliar timeline, unfamiliar with the land, he certainly didn't want Lian Ye to cause trouble.
Faced with his good brother's hard stance, Lian Ye could only reluctantly agree.
"Fine, if you want to lead, then lead."
The two walked in the forest for a short while before hearing the sounds of a battle coming from afar.
Deafening shouts of killing, the clanging of weapons colliding, and the booming of Ninjutsu and Explosive Talisman detonations.
Lian Ye and Zhi Cun Tuan Zang exchanged a glance and hastened their steps toward the direction of the sound.
