Chapter 207: Feng Yan... Could He Be the Dragon Emperor?
Ten Thousand Sects Grand Assembly.
Dharma Boats cross the sky, surrounded by colorful clouds.
Ten thousand lights flicker, and immortal mist permeates the air.
A scene of a flourishing age.
Lang Fei was incredibly excited: "Jiuzhou is the true immortal realm."
Lin Chao watched this scene, a smile also appearing at the corners of his mouth.
At this moment, Lang Fei suddenly pointed at the Heavenly Vault, his expression excited: "That is the Pill Saint Shi Qing of Jiuzhou, he is refining the Wanfu Pill!"
Back in Jing Country, those big figures were high and mighty, and ordinary people could hardly ever see them.
It could even be said that ordinary people might not see a Transcendental in their entire lives.
Jiuzhou is different.
Just today, Lang Fei saw more powerful cultivators than he had seen Transcendental beings in Jing Country.
Lin Chao's gaze also fell upon the Pill Saint Shi Qing.
Dust-covered memories unlocked.
He vaguely remembered that day when Shi Qing walked over, a resolute look on his face, and returned one thousand Spirit Stones to him.
This Shi Qing could be considered his only old friend in Jiuzhou.
Lin Chao looked at Shi Qing and finally let out a long sigh.
"Feng Yan, what are you sighing about?"
"I... am sighing that his pill-refining technique is not refined enough to produce a Saint-grade pill."
"Haha, Feng Yan, I didn't expect you to be so humorous; I thought you were always a dull person. Would you like to go up and offer some guidance to the Pill Saint senior?"
"Forget it, I'm afraid of being kicked off." Lin Chao waved his hand and didn't think about it anymore.
Above the Heavenly Vault, Shi Qing suddenly furrowed his brows.
Beside him, a young attendant hurriedly asked: "Master, what is wrong?"
Shi Qing's gaze swept over the tens of millions of people below, and finally, he withdrew his gaze.
Shi Qing's gaze swept over the tens of millions of people below, and finally, he withdrew his gaze.
For some reason, just now he felt a familiar gaze fall upon him.
Without thinking much, Shi Qing continued to refine the Wanfu Pill.
The Ten Thousand Sects Grand Assembly would last for half a month.
On the second day, Lin Chao and Lang Fei went to visit Ye Meng to bid her farewell.
"Are the two of you returning to the Dark Light Academy?" Ye Meng's voice was indifferent. "It is a pity; Jiuzhou is in a time of many troubles, so please forgive me for not being able to see you off."
"It does not matter," Lang Fei hurriedly said.
"Sigh, my younger sister has been clamoring to see people from the Otherworld. It is a pity that she is currently off to pick up her friend and may not return for over ten days; it seems she will ultimately have no chance to see people from the Otherworld," Ye Meng said, a smile on her face.
"If there is time, the two fairies are welcome to come to the Qiyuan World," Lang Fei offered a polite invitation.
Ye Meng's gaze swept over the two, finally landing on Feng Yan. Remembering something, she asked casually: "Brother Feng Yan, do you know of the Feng Family?"
"The Ghost Catcher Feng Family? I have heard a little about them."
"What a pity..." Ye Meng gave a bitter smile. "I was originally betrothed to a descendant of the Feng Family, but unfortunately, he passed away before I could ever meet him."
Lin Chao was stunned for a moment, then spoke indifferently: "My condolences."
"What a pity..." Ye Meng gave a bitter smile, "I originally had a marriage contract with a descendant of the Feng Family, but unfortunately, he passed away before I could ever meet him."
The Ten Thousand Sects Grand Assembly had already concluded.
Ye Ying brought Li Xiaocang and finally arrived at the Ye Family.
"Sister, this is my friend Li Xiaocang, from the Dragon Emperor Research Society." Ye Ying patted her chest; she was exceptionally happy to meet the friend she had been communicating with via Spirit Pigeon.
"The Dragon Emperor is still alive, and you all still keep the Dragon Emperor Research Society; wouldn't that be too disrespectful to the old Dragon Emperor?" Ye Meng said with a smile, teasing them.
Ye Ying hurriedly said: "Sister, that is not important. What is important is that this friend of mine has very likely seen the Dragon Emperor."
"Since the Dragon Emperor is still alive, isn't it a bit disrespectful to the old man himself that you all still keep the Dragon Emperor Research Society?" Ye Meng said with a smile, teasing them.
Li Xiaocang stood forward and recounted the story of the senior she met at the South Sea Ruins, as well as the senior she encountered by chance at the teahouse.
The shock on Ye Meng's face slowly dissipated: "The premise that that senior is the Dragon Emperor is that the strange ghost at the South Sea Ruins was transformed from the little girl by the Dragon Emperor's side. But all of this is just hearsay and cannot be relied upon. Besides, even if he were the Dragon Emperor, so what?"
Li Xiaocang stepped forward and spoke about the senior she had seen at the South Sea Ruins, as well as the matter of the senior she had encountered by chance at the teahouse.
"These past few months, the major powers of Jiuzhou have been searching for the Dragon Emperor. The Xiang Family even held ancestral rites, praying for the Dragon Emperor to appear. Unfortunately, except for the one time the Dragon Emperor appeared while Slaying evil spirits, he has not appeared again. If the Dragon Emperor wanted to see the world, he would have appeared long ago. Perhaps the Dragon Emperor feels there are no old friends left in the world, and no one is worth him seeing."
Beside them, Ye Ying and the others agreed with Ye Meng's words.
Whether that person is the Dragon Emperor or not is not important.
What is important is that the Dragon Emperor does not wish to reveal himself.
Li Xiaocang hurriedly said: "Sister Ye Meng, does your Ye Family have a true portrait of the Dragon Emperor? I want to know if the senior I met is truly the Dragon Emperor!"
Regardless of whether the Dragon Emperor is willing to reveal himself or not, what Li Xiaocang wanted to know most right now was whether the person she met that day was the Dragon Emperor himself.
It is a pity that, apart from appearing once when he had to Slay evil spirits, the Dragon Emperor has never appeared again.
If the Dragon Emperor wanted to see the people of the world, he would have appeared long ago.
Perhaps the Dragon Emperor feels that there are no old acquaintances left in the world, and no one is worth him seeing."
Beside them, Ye Ying and the others agreed with Ye Meng's words.
Whether that person is the Dragon Emperor or not is unimportant.
What is important is that the Dragon Emperor is unwilling to reveal himself.
Li Xiaocang hurriedly said: "Sister Ye Meng, does your Ye Family have a true portrait of the Dragon Emperor? I want to know if the senior I saw is truly the Dragon Emperor!"
Regardless of whether the Dragon Emperor is willing to reveal himself or not, what Li Xiaocang wants to know most right now is whether the person she saw that day was the Dragon Emperor himself.
In Jiuzhou, the ones most likely to possess an authentic portrait of the Dragon Emperor are those few great families in Medicine Blood State.
Ye Meng wore a smile on her face; she could naturally see through those little thoughts of Li Xiaocang.
"The portrait of the Dragon Emperor is of the utmost importance and is not easily shown to ordinary people, lest someone use the Dragon Emperor's likeness to commit illicit acts," Ye Meng began. "It is fine to let you see the Dragon Emperor's face, however."
With a wave of Ye Meng's hand, a surge of Spirit Power rippled, and a young man with an extraordinary temperament suddenly appeared in the Void.
He sat beside the Wusheng Well, yet there was a sense of loneliness and desolation about him.
Chen Ju'an shook his head: "He looks different from the senior we met."
Li Xiaocang was also incomparably disappointed: "Although both are very handsome, they are indeed not the same person."
Ye Meng smiled and blinked: "Why don't you let me see what that fake Dragon Emperor you met looks like? I want to see how handsome he is, to be able to make you mistake him for the Dragon Emperor."
She casually changed the subject to dissolve the disappointment in Li Xiaocang's heart.
"He looks like this." Li Xiaocang tapped her finger, and a figure appeared in the air.
Ye Ying looked at this figure: "He is indeed quite handsome."
Beside her, Ye Meng's expression was shaken: "This is... Feng Yan?"
The figure before her eyes was none other than Feng Yan, whom Ye Meng had just met over ten days ago.
"What Feng Yan?" Ye Ying frowned. "That person from the Otherworld."
Beside them, Li Xiaocang also felt bewildered, not understanding what Ye Meng meant by this.
At this moment, Ye Meng's heart was shaken beyond measure.
"Are you certain that this is the person who entered the South Sea Ruins and even ventured deep inside?" Ye Meng forced herself to calm down.
Feng Yan was an existence at the Three Stages of Ancient Method.
In terms of strength, it was impossible for him to stay in the South Sea Ruins for too long, and it was absolutely impossible for him to venture deep into the South Sea Ruins.
Why did Feng Yan go to the South Sea, and why did he go looking for ghosts?
"He did indeed stay in the South Sea Ruins for a long time, but I never saw him venture deep into the South Sea Ruins; that was all my speculation," Li Xiaocang said slowly.
Beside her, Ye Ying frowned: "Sister, you don't mean to say that the senior Li Xiaocang saw is the Otherworlder Feng Yan, the one who spoke of the Seven Demon Saints of Medicine Blood State?"
Ordinary people would never know the title of the Seven Demon Saints of Medicine Blood State.
And that Otherworlder actually knew the title of the Seven Demon Saints of Medicine Blood State; it was truly strange.
Connecting this with the words of Li Xiaocang and the others, a terrifying thought arose in Ye Ying's heart.
"Sister, do you mean that Feng Yan is..." Ye Ying did not continue.
Ye Meng narrowed her eyes; she remembered passing through the Endless Fen Xu that day, and what was strange was that the Fire beasts had shown no unusual movement.
According to the records of the major sects, the Fire beasts of the Endless Fen Xu are incomparably powerful; even if a True Spirit Realm cultivator enters, they would be attacked by the Fire beasts.
However, those terrifying Fire beasts were incomparably fearful of the Dragon Emperor.
Whether it was the Dragon Emperor or the Dragon Emperor's avatar appearing in the Endless Fen Xu, the Fire beasts would all flee.
That day, when she passed through the Endless Fen Xu with Feng Yan, no Fire beasts appeared.
At the time, she had found it strange.
Now, connecting this with what Li Xiaocang said, and combining it with the time the Dragon Emperor appeared and Feng Yan's strength upon arriving in Jiuzhou.
Ye Meng's heart was shaken.
Feng Yan... could he be the Dragon Emperor?
"Let's go, I am going to Qiyuan World!"
Without any hesitation, Ye Meng prepared to go to Qiyuan World.
But thinking of something, she paused her steps.
"These pieces of news must be reported to the ancestor first."
According to the timeline, Feng Yan and the others had already returned to Qiyuan World.
At this moment, Ye Meng's heart was a mixture of emotions—joy and regret.
She had not expected that the Dragon Emperor she had always admired had been by her side all along.
Thinking back to her interactions with Feng Yan, that temperament of Feng Yan's was indeed somewhat like the legendary Dragon Emperor.
Ye Meng took a deep breath and vanished.
Beside her, Li Xiaocang tilted her head: "Ye Ying, what did your sister mean?"
"This... I cannot explain it in a few words." Ye Ying was also filled with regret.
She had always wanted to see the Otherworlder, but she had kept missing him.
If that person really was Lord Dragon Emperor, wouldn't she have lost out big time?
"However, the senior you met is very likely the real Dragon Emperor."
"What!" Li Xiaocang was instantly shocked; how could it be him again?
At the same time, a feeling of joy surged into her heart; she had once sat at the same table and drank tea with the Dragon Emperor!
Dark Light Academy.
The return of Lin Chao and Lang Fei was very quiet, causing no ripples within Dark Light Academy.
At this time, the date of their return was exactly when the Ten Great Extraordinary Academies were holding the Supernatural League.
Many Elite disciples and teachers in the Academy had left the Academy.
Many students stayed in their rooms or the cafeteria, watching the league through special channels.
The usually bustling Dark Light Academy seemed a bit deserted.
"Alright, Feng Yan, go give the traded items to the Su Group, then cultivate well and strive to break through your realm soon," Gong Ting said, looking at Feng Yan with curiosity in her eyes.
"Mm." Lin Chao nodded, but thinking of something, he continued, "Dean, I have come here this time to ask you for a leave of absence."
My cultivation has reached a bottleneck; continuing to cultivate step-by-step makes it very difficult to break through to the next realm.
Therefore, I would like to request leave to travel around."
Lin Chao's expression was calm.
Perhaps he would never return after leaving the Dark Light Academy this time.
He was going to the Ghost Domain, to the Feng Family, and to break the limits of the Ancient Method.
During this period, he needed to rapidly increase his strength.
"Hmm... alright." Gong Ting thought for a moment and finally agreed, "I will grant you a longer leave... twenty years... by the way, before you leave, you can go see Teacher Wang Qiankun.
He cultivates the Ancient Method, and perhaps he can be of some help to your future cultivation."
"Alright." Lin Chao nodded, "Thank you, Dean."
"You child, you are too polite." Gong Ting smiled.
Lin Chao left the Dean's office and walked toward Wang Qiankun's office.
On the way, his eyes swept across the large screen.
The large screen was broadcasting scenes from the Academy League.
At this moment, a young man wearing the Dark Light Academy uniform was showing great power, defeating a woman with a single strike.
Immediately, a burst of cheers erupted within the Dark Light Academy.
Lin Chao's gaze was indifferent: "Dangkang has entered the final four."
This young man had met Lin Chao once before.
Once, he was also one of the candidates chosen to go to Jiuzhou.
Lin Chao withdrew his gaze and walked away directly.
He was not interested in the Academy Supernatural League.
At this moment, he only wanted to rapidly increase his strength, for the sake of survival, and also to be able to see the Butterfly Bird.
