Chapter 381: Elixir, looking down on the ages!

A riverbank of the water control.

A hundred miles away from Xifeng Tower.

The night was deep, the surroundings were silent, and darkness shrouded everything.

Only the pitch-black water area several feet deep.

Suddenly, a huge wave surged!

Long Yi broke through the river embankment in panic, smashing the layers of poured steps.

This flood dragon had originally lurked in the riverbed of the water control, revealing its true form, waiting for Xie Guan's arrival.

As for the matter of joining forces with Lu Hua and Xie Hong to hunt the Second Master of the Academy, it had long been thrown to the back of his mind.

In the Xie residence, he smelled Xie Guan's aura—

That aura was as tempting as an elixir of the Immortal Realm, and as tempting as a flat peach immortal fruit.

A strong premonition arose in Long Yi's heart: as long as... as long as he swallowed that youth,

He could transform into a dragon and ascend, transforming into a true dragon, not the monster that was neither dragon nor human as he was now.

What about revenge for the demons of Deze Lake, what about hunting the Second Master of the Academy, these risks and costs, I fear it would be difficult to retreat unscathed today.

Taking such a big risk, the gain is minimal.

It's truly not worth the loss.

Better to swallow Xie Guan and ascend in one fell swoop.

Long Yi had already made this calculation in his heart, a ruthless light flickering in his golden pupils.

Even if he couldn't ascend, swallowing Xie Guan would be enough to greatly increase his cultivation; by then, the Second Master, Lu Hua, and Xie Hong would all be nothing to fear.

He lurked quietly in the water, relying on the technique of "Water Escape," even a Ninth Rank Martial Artist or a Ninth Rank Spirit Cultivator would find it difficult to detect his existence.

He coiled at the bottom of the river, swallowing fish and shrimp at will, looking coldly through the water surface at the painted boats full of living people slowly passing by.

There were no living people in Deze Lake long ago; the creatures there had long been swallowed by demons.

Long Yi secretly thought, if he could enjoy so much blood food all year round, his cultivation would definitely advance further.

However—

No matter how much blood food there was, it couldn't compare to Xie Guan alone.

He waited patiently, but never expected that among the tourists on the river, there was an old man whose face was reflected on the water surface.

The water surface was sparkling, mist curling,

But Long Yi's golden pupils saw it clearly.

That was the fear engraved in his bone marrow, the figure he didn't dare to disobey even in his dreams.

Mas... ter!

Long Yi's mind was in chaos in the river, almost unable to think.

Is the Master still alive?

He couldn't produce a single thought of resistance, only two choices: either kneel and crawl at the Master's feet.

Or—run!

Knowing the Master's character, if he didn't run, it would be a dead end.

A strong desire to survive surged like a tide, making him like a frightened bird, without any hesitation.

Run!

Long Yi turned around without hesitation, relying on the technique of Water Escape, fleeing madly into the distance, fearing that if he were a step slow, he would be doomed forever.

For a time, Long Yi was panicked, even forgetting to perform the technique of Water Escape.

Until he fled nearly a hundred miles away, he barely calmed his mind.

After calming down, he vaguely felt something was wrong.

If it were truly the Master, I fear he wouldn't even have the chance to run.

Moreover, the Master had long since not appeared in the world, how could he still have that appearance?

That person could absolutely not be the Master!

Long Yi felt more and more reasonable the more he thought about it, especially that sentence "What are you afraid of" the old man said at the end, the tone was light and breezy, completely different from the Master's majesty.

Although this person was not the Master, Long Yi absolutely did not want to see him again.

He secretly made up his mind, no matter what, he must stay away from that old man.

As long as there was a slight resemblance to the Master, Long Yi was already panicked.

Today, he had no heart to meet Xie Hong and the others, the original plan.

Hunting the Second Master, probing the truth of the Master, had been completely abandoned by him at this moment.

He had been scared out of his wits, with only one thought in his heart: eat Xie Guan.

He held his breath, fearing to disturb anyone.

Xie Guan should be an insignificant concubine's son of the Xie family, I fear no one would care.

Long Yi licked his lips, quietly lurking into the river, relying on the cover of the water flow, returning to the Flower Banquet cautiously.

Only to find that youth who could make him transform into a dragon and ascend.

As long as Xie Guan comes down from the Invitation Immortal Tower.

He would be something in his mouth.

"Brother Guan, let's not go back to the Xie residence later, I'll take you to a place."

Xie Yuan smiled meaningfully.

Yu Ke frowned, especially seeing that "ill-intentioned" smile on Xie Yuan's face, his heart was even more confused.

Xie Yuan leaned closer, lowering his voice: "This time I borrowed your name, and a few flower queens will also come."

"Sixth Brother will take you to open your eyes, guaranteed to make you open your eyes!"

Yu Ke sighed helplessly.

Since Xie Yuan broke his virginity, it was as if he had opened his Ren and Du meridians; he who originally disdained women, now was full of interest in flower queens.

Xie Yuan, you have changed!

Become so strange.

Yu Ke was a bit tempted, after all, he could 【personally participate】, not knowing what interesting things would happen.

But on second thought, there were still unfinished matters at today's Flower Banquet, especially Sister Wu Tong who had not been seen until now.

If Sister Wu Tong had any accident, I fear it would seriously affect Xie Guan's life trajectory.

Weighing the pros and cons, Yu Ke shook his head, "Sixth Brother, I won't go."

You are clearly holding an orgy!

Xie Yuan was anxious upon hearing this, "That won't do, I've already agreed!"

Xie Xie Qiyue also walked over curiously, raising her eyebrows and asking: "Xie Yuan, what bad idea are you playing again?"

"Adult matters, children go to another table."

Xie Xie Qiyue said angrily, "Xie Yuan, are you looking for a beating?"

Just then!

Yu Ke sensed slightly, a familiar footstep seemed to be walking over intentionally.

The footsteps were light, the breathing was as if there was none, this aura... familiar.

Yu Ke turned his head and looked, and saw a maid with fair skin walking toward him, bowing gracefully.

"Young Master Guan, please don't forget the appointment?"

The maid broke into the second floor abruptly, coming to Xie Guan.

Attracting Zhang Zhang Yunzhi, Li Li Shuwan, and others to be curious.

The maid's voice carried no emotion, looking at Xie Guan and saying slowly, "Master, has been waiting for a long time!"

Yu Ke's eyes froze.

General Sima Pan was just at the Flower Banquet, inviting him to see the so-called Master.

In Yu Ke's sensing, General Sima Pan had no vitality left, having become a living dead person, just a puppet.

This maid's aura was the same as his, both living dead people.

This woman didn't mention any words.

Just a "Master," but Yu Ke knew that she and the General Sima Pan just now were from the same wave.

General Sima Pan had just taken Sister Wu Tong's hairpin from his arms.

I fear Sister Wu Tong fell into their hands, I don't know the situation of General Sima Ting, I don't know if he is also in danger, hanging by a thread?

Being able to plot to harm a military governor at the Flower Banquet, I don't know who is behind it?

And!

This person seems to be for himself.

A concubine's son of the Xie family, even if he obtained the inheritance of the Three Truths Sect, how could he cause such a big disturbance?

Xie Guan leaned over curiously, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes for this maid who suddenly appeared.

What is he looking for Brother Guan for?

Yu Ke pondered slightly.

【Facing this matter, you are preparing...】

The big cauldron in his mind rang, spitting out ten thousand rays of rosy light, and the words on it slowly froze.

1. Refuse this matter. (Prompt: Sister Wu Tong, General Sima Ting may face danger, may be unfavorable to the future.)

2. Refuse this matter, report this matter to the Academy and the people in the Great Qi court. (Prompt: Sister Wu Tong, General Sima Ting may encounter danger, may be unfavorable to the future.)

3. Agree to this matter. (Prompt: May be favorable to the future.)

4. End personal participation. (1/3)

Yu Ke looked at the four options above, from the prompts, agreeing to this matter is the best choice.

He didn't hesitate, choosing directly.

3. Agree to this matter. (Prompt: May be favorable to the future.)

Yu Ke smiled slightly, his tone indifferent: "Then I will trouble the girl to lead the way."

The maid nodded expressionlessly, turned and left.

Seeing this, Xie Yuan pulled Yu Ke's sleeve anxiously, "Brother Guan, what should I do if you go?"

Yu Ke patted him on the shoulder, comforting: "I'll be back soon, don't worry."

On the side, Zhang Zhang Yunzhi, although confused in her heart, also understood that Xie Guan was now famous, and there were not a few people who wanted to make friends with him, so this situation was normal.

Yu Ke followed the maid downstairs, and the gazes of many people on the second floor were focused on him.

Xie Xie Renfeng saw this scene, sneered, whispered a few words to the servant beside him, then stared at Xie Guan's back, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes.

And Li Li Shuwan was lost in thought.

Yu Ke followed the maid all the way, the two one after the other, silent.

The maid walked steadily, without looking back, just walking forward like a puppet.

Pedestrians met on the road saw Xie Guan, all showing looks of surprise, whispering and discussing.

Today's Xie Guan was truly too famous.

Even on the road, quite a few women greeted him.

Unknowingly!

Yu Ke followed the maid, gradually moving away from the noise of the Invitation Immortal Tower, and the environment became increasingly strange.

The four-square stage of the Flower Banquet could no longer be seen, only the cold wind on the riverbank of the water control whistled in his ears.

The two walked slowly along the riverbank, Yu Ke didn't ask much, just followed silently.

The lights on both sides gradually thinned, and the surroundings fell into darkness.

It had been a long time since he left the Flower Banquet.

Looking back slowly, the Invitation Immortal Tower could only see the distant lights.

I fear he had reached the outskirts of Xifeng Tower.

Yu Ke felt the chill by the river, the flowing water control shimmered in the night, mist curling, as if locking the entire river surface.

Suddenly!

He sensed that there seemed to be a huge creature in the water slowly raising its head, its aura deep and cold, staring straight at himself.

A wave of water in the water control pushed, seemingly following behind him all along.

A bone-chilling cold rose from his spine, like a thorn in his back.

Just then, the maid stopped.

Not far away, a carriage was parked on the shore of the water control.

In the dim light, the carriage was not luxurious, and the horse pulling the carriage was a jujube-red steed, appearing exceptionally quiet at this time.

The man sitting on the carriage frame.

Sturdy, nearly thirty, dressed in black casual clothes, with a simple black belt around his waist, without any complicated accessories on his body.

It was the military governor General Sima Pan!

However, at this time, General Sima Pan's face was wooden, his gaze empty.

Yu Ke sensed slowly, there was still a faint heartbeat in his chest.

Fortunately, there was still vitality!

Yu Ke's eyes froze slightly, his gaze swept across the front of the carriage, and he found another carriage parked there.

Yu Ke pondered slightly.

He didn't see the figures of Sister Wu Tong and the Fourth Young Lady of the Xie residence.

The night was deep, the mist was thick, and everything appeared exceptionally quiet.

The maid stopped slowly.

Yu Ke stood in front of the carriage, secretly pondering, who exactly was this person behind the scenes?

Yu Ke felt a trace of unease in his heart, but his expression remained calm.

The big cauldron in his heart rang slowly.

Silent.

The maid said respectfully, "Reporting to Master, Xie Guan has been brought."

A voice in the carriage responded lightly.

"Good!"

This voice was clear and indifferent, but it was impossible to tell the age, or whether it was male or female.

The woman retreated to the side, standing with her head down.

Yu Ke didn't speak either, only feeling the carriage curtain being lifted.

Revealing a familiar face!

Yu Ke's face didn't change, but his heart was already shocked.

～

"Then it is settled!"

Xu Xu Jiangxian and Master Lianchi looked at each other, finally choosing to bet, deciding to follow the legacy of the Three Truths Sect founder Lu Chen.

However, their true thoughts were that whatever the Master wanted to do, they would tear it down.

Whatever the Master wanted to achieve, they would deliberately not let him be satisfied.

As long as the Master's good deeds were ruined, that was their goal.

Now, the opportunity for ascension had arrived, and the world was changing.

The Master's fortune was strong, crowning the world, but this was not because he was lucky, but because he was the strongest person in the world.

If the ascension platform truly appeared in the world, the Master's power alone would be enough to suppress all living beings in the world.

However, it was precisely because he was too strong that it became a fault.

Strong enough to make people fear, strong enough to make people unable to reach, strong enough to make everyone fear him.

Xu Xu Jiangxian and Master Lianchi understood clearly.

Unless the Master dies completely, the world will still be this world.

Since they had made up their minds.

Xu Xu Jiangxian asked, "Then what should we do next?"

"It's just that I don't understand, why can the Master imprison immortals? And who are those immortals?"

He looked at the First Master Xu Li Xian, his eyes heavy.

This was a critical moment, and it was also the time to explore these secrets concerning the mysteries of heaven and earth, which they urgently needed to know.

Master Lianchi chanted a Buddha name, his expression solemn, obviously also waiting for Xu Li Xian's answer.

Xu Li Xian's gaze was deep, and he spoke slowly: "If I say that heaven and earth are like a prison, and we are all birds in a cage, fish in a pool, would you dare to believe it?"

Master Lianchi put his hands together, "Buddha sees a bowl of water, one hundred thousand eight thousand insects; one flower is one world, one leaf is one Bodhi."

These Buddhist proverbs seem to describe the vastness and insignificance of heaven and earth, both boundless and subtle.

Xu Xu Jiangxian refused to give up, continuing to ask: "Heaven beyond heaven, is this the true meaning of ascension?"

Xu Li Xian shook his head lightly, saying indifferently: "Unknown."

"But according to the ancient books of the Three Truths Sect, there is an immortal in this world who transcends all things, overlooking the ups and downs of the world, witnessing the changes of the seas and mulberry fields."

"The immortal overlooks these ages."

"But every few thousand years, he will descend to the mortal world in the form of reincarnation, walking in the red dust."

Xu Xu Jiangxian and Master Lianchi were shocked and unable to calm down upon hearing this.

Immortals descending to the world!

Lu Hua even said something earth-shattering.

"Founder Lu Chen once said that when an immortal descends to the mortal world, it is a lifetime, and in this lifetime, everyone in this world can ascend."

"If a mortal meets an immortal, then it is called seeing the Supreme!"

"Founder Lu Chen, three thousand years ago, was a person who saw the Supreme."
