Chapter 226: Reunion (Thanks to [Book Friend 2017**4875] for the five)

A strange face, a familiar faint smile.

Ye You's body stiffened, and countless thoughts surged in his heart.

He had a terrifying thought in his mind, yet he dared not believe it.

Back then, that person... impossible!

Filled with various emotions, Ye You looked at the man in the Green Robe before him, but did not make any move.

Beside him, Pan and Xiang Qi also turned their heads abruptly, staring at the man in the Green Robe who had suddenly appeared.

Hesitation, shock, confusion, excitement, joy...

Various emotions intermingled; even though they were already True Immortals, their hearts were greatly stirred at this moment.

"Are you... Xiang Long?" Ye You finally spoke, his voice still carrying a trace of a tremor.

Even now, he dared not believe it.

Is this a dream?

Is this an illusion?

Long Er had long since fought dozens of True Immortals, sacrificed himself, opened the Immortal World Channel, and had long since perished.

Now, how could he appear here?

"Master, the first Daoist Method you taught me is called the Five Heavens Thunder Induction Art."

Lin Chao reached out his hand.

Immediately, within the pitch-black Shenxu, a bolt of thunder appeared.

However, this bolt of thunder landed in Lin Chao's hand, petite like a thunder snake.

"Xiang Long!" Ye You was certain!

This was his disciple, Xiang Long, the Dragon Emperor of Jiuzhou!

The one who had held off dozens of True Immortals alone at the Heavenly Palace for three thousand years!

In the Wusheng Well, it was he who had snuck into Xiang Long's dream to teach his disciple the Five Heavens Thunder Induction Art.

Now, the memories of the past were still vivid before his eyes.

Ye You had never thought that he would truly be able to see his disciple again.

Even the Immortal Lord had said that Xiang Long would surely die, and that even a Great Luo could not save him.

"Xiang Long!" Pan looked at Lin Chao, also struggling to contain his excitement.

Xiang Qi glanced at Lin Chao, the moisture in the corners of her eyes faded away, and she ultimately said nothing.

Lin Chao looked at the three of them, his gaze clear: "Everyone, long time no see."

It had indeed been a long time.

Especially for these three, it had been a full ten thousand years since they had last seen Lin Chao.

Xiang Qi still did not speak.

She had once thought that after seeing Xiang Long, she would surely have many things to say to him.

She still had many questions she wanted to ask him!

To ask him, what exactly happened with Shen Die?

Yet, meeting again, thousands of words turned into a lump in her throat.

"Long Er, how did you appear here?" Ye You stepped back slightly from the shock of the reunion.

"It's a long story." Lin Chao sighed, "Master, are you all doing well?"

"Sigh." Ye You let out a sigh, "Nowadays..."

Ye You briefly told Lin Chao about the things that happened afterward.

The Immortal World Channel opened, and Jiuzhou had hope for ascension.

Later, Ye You and the others gradually ascended to the Immortal World.

As it turned out, the Immortal World was not peaceful either.

Several thousand years ago, a massive gravitational force entangled the Xian Guo.

The Xian Guo was falling toward the Shenxu.

In order to resolve the crisis, the Xian Guo dispatched some Immortals to the Shenxu to solve the crisis.

Regarding the matters of the Shenxu, Ye You also briefly informed him a little.

"So that's how it is." Lin Chao furrowed his brows.

As expected, the situation in the Shenxu did not exceed his expectations.

That so-called Calamity of World Destruction was indeed even stronger than he had imagined.

Moreover, it was also very mysterious.

The gods on the Shenxu had no idea where the Calamity of World Destruction was hiding, nor did they know when the Calamity of World Destruction would wake up next.

"Long Er, just now a powerful God Kingdom appeared and Slayed the Calamity Envoy." Ye You looked at Lin Chao, then looked at the two thousand gods not far away.

Under the attack of those two thousand gods, the Xionggong had already been destroyed.

Those gods were currently cleaning up the battlefield.

That force of gods was simply too powerful.

Two thousand gods were comparable to twenty Xian Guo!

He had a vague guess in his heart.

"Long Er, are you also from that God Kingdom?" Ye You looked at Lin Chao, his heart filled with mixed feelings, and he was still somewhat excited.

That God Kingdom was truly too terrifying.

To be able to produce two thousand gods, what kind of world was it?

"Mm." Lin Chao nodded.

He could also be considered to have come from that God Kingdom.

Ye You felt joy in his heart.

That Long Er was still able to come out to see him while the God Kingdom was at war with the fierce envoys.

This showed that Long Er's status in that God Kingdom was certainly not low.

This was also normal.

With Xiang Long's talent, healing his former Dao wounds, living for another ten thousand years, and becoming a god was not a problem.

"Long Er, your God Kingdom won a great victory in this battle, but you still need to be vigilant.

Right now, there are still nearly two hundred fierce envoys alive within Shenxu; you need to tell the other gods and high-level figures in the God Kingdom to pay attention to these fierce envoys.

Among all the fierce envoys, the Great Fierce Envoy is the strongest; he alone is worth even all three hundred fierce envoys combined!

He is the true threat!

And behind him, there is the World-Destroying Fierce.

In the past, when the World-Destroying Fierce struck, the powerful Five Directions God Kingdom, with over seventy gods, could not even withstand a single blow from the World-Destroying Fierce.

Your God Kingdom is incomparably powerful, with two thousand gods, but you still cannot let your guard down.

As for the matters here, Long Er, please pass them on to the high-level figures of the God Kingdom; the affairs of Shenxu are not that simple."

"Mm, Master." Lin Chao had it in mind. "Master, since I have appeared, leave the matters of Shenxu to me."

"Sigh, you are still the same as before." Ye You sighed, then continued, "If Xiang Laotou, Fang Niu, and the others knew you were still alive, they would certainly..."

"I have also not seen all the masters for a long time." Lin Chao also felt some nostalgia.

The world has changed greatly, yet to be reunited with old friends is a joyous event in life.

Just at this moment, a majestic voice transmitted from Xionggong.

"Return!"

The order was absolute.

Following this voice, two thousand rays of divine light flew back like shooting stars, entering the God Kingdom.

Ye You felt some reluctance in his heart: "Long Er, you go back to the God Kingdom first, we will chat again in the future."

A powerful God Kingdom must surely have strict divine discipline.

Lin Chao smiled: "It is fine, Master."

Just at this moment, a towering figure flew toward this side.

Ye You, Pan, and Xiang Qi felt their minds pause upon seeing that towering figure.

This god was the powerful existence who had just led the two thousand gods and issued the orders.

Even an Immortal Lord would likely have to pay respects upon seeing a god of this level.

Why did he come here?

Under the gaze of everyone, Hong Yin appeared before Lin Chao.

He swept his gaze over the three people present, then his eyes landed on Lin Chao.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Hong Yin knelt on one knee, his face filled with admiration and awe.

"Greetings, God Lord. This time, we killed one hundred and twenty-seven enemies in total.

The spoils of war captured are countless.

Among them, a Mirror of One Side is quite special; I offer it to the God Lord."

Hong Yin held a mirror and handed it to Lin Chao.

Beside him, Pan was stunned.

Ye You also could not believe his own ears.

What did this red-clothed god call Xiang Long?

God Lord?

Xiang Long is actually a God Lord?

That God Kingdom belongs entirely to Xiang Long?

Those are two thousand gods!

How on earth did Xiang Long manage to do that?

This disciple, every time he appears, leaves people surprised and shocked.

In this world, what is there that he cannot do?

Ye You took a deep breath, calming himself down.

Lin Chao looked at that mirror, his gaze like the sea.

Unfortunately, he could not discern the origin of that mirror at all.

He thought of something, then asked.

"Master, have you ever seen a creature like this?"

Lin Chao waved his hand.

In the air, a magnificent creature appeared.

Like a butterfly, like a bird, dreamlike and illusory.

Xiang Qi was slightly stunned: "Butterfly-bird of the South Sea..."

In order to find Xiang Long, she had traveled all over Jiuzhou, been to the South Sea, and had once accidentally seen that tireless creature filling the sea with stones.

And several thousand years ago, such a creature had also appeared within Shenxu.

"This is... Dragon Spirit?"

Several thousand years ago, a creature like a butterfly and a bird suddenly appeared within Shenxu, its cry like a cuckoo weeping blood.

It broke into the base camp of the Fierce Envoys alone, Slay-ing dozens of Fierce Envoys, and finally dragged a dead dragon's body out with its broken frame.

It transformed into the wings of the dragon's body and escaped from the Fierce Envoys' base camp, and the Great Fierce Envoy has been leading many Fierce Envoys in pursuit of it ever since.

The gods in Shenxu called it the Dragon Spirit, and there were once gods who made contact with the Dragon Spirit.

"Unfortunately, the Dragon Spirit seemed to be too severely wounded, fighting only on instinct and unable to communicate," Pan spoke up from the side. "Most of the Fierce Envoys in Shenxu are currently hunting this creature."

"It is precisely because of this that we people are able to survive and linger on."

Lin Chao's body, which had been standing tall and straight, seemed to tremble at this moment.

The butterfly-bird, it really is in Shenxu!

His eyes were cold and stern as he asked Pan, "Where is she?"

"Probably in... the Central Region."

Lin Chao's gaze was deep, suppressing the emotions in his heart as he looked at the three of them: "Master, we shall catch up next time."

"Very well." Ye You did not stop him.

He knew that this disciple had his own things to do.

Xiang Qi's gaze was complex, and she sighed softly, her eyes still carrying a faint trace of envy.

The words that had been buried in her heart before were never spoken aloud.

Shen Die, Xiang Long, they were merely clouds and smoke of the past.

Lin Chao looked at Hong Yin beside him and said indifferently, "Go to the Central Region."

They were going to find the butterfly-bird!
