Chapter 62: In the Midst of Life and Heaven and Earth, Suddenly Like a Traveler on a Long Journey

With one show-off having suffered the sanction of the hammer of justice, the atmosphere on the scene became much more harmonious.

Eunuch Yang stepped forward at this moment and cupped his hands toward Ren Yidao.

"This Daoist, I hope you can look past this for the sake of this old man; please do not hold it against the two Highnesses. I offer you an apology here."

Eunuch Yang did not slack off on this etiquette by even a fraction, bowing respectfully all the way down.

The Princess and the Prince could not discern the background of the person before them, but he, Yang Wusheng, was no greenhorn who had never seen the world.

With this aura of divinity, the other party was undoubtedly a member of the Divine Path Sect.

In front of the vast majority of people, he could use the status of the Northern Qian Imperial Family to pressure them.

But some were different.

Especially when facing a member of a super-great sect, the status of the Imperial Family had very limited effect, and it was better not to mention it at all.

Furthermore, the purpose of their trip was to re-establish... er, no, to establish diplomatic relations with the Divine Path Sect for the first time.

This matter was the true top priority for His Majesty, and they must not let any complications arise.

One does not strike a person who is smiling.

This Eunuch Yang gave Ren Yidao a rather good impression.

Although he had no facial hair, his build was burly and sturdy, not at all like the effeminate Eunuch Faction members in his impression.

Moreover, after breaking into Xianhu Temple just now, he did not attack indiscriminately; instead, he took the initiative to lead Li Yiyi to retreat and give way.

"Gonggong is joking. You are a great senior who has been famous for many years, why perform such a grand gesture?"

"The Daoist knows this old man?"

"Of course, even I, residing in the Divine Path Sect, have heard of the great name of the Bloodless Blade, Yang Wusheng."

The smile on his face became much more sincere; Eunuch Yang cupped his hands and demurred:

"I dare not accept such praise, I dare not!"

People like them had always been concerned with face; crippled to this extent, besides raising some adopted sons when they had nothing to do, their greatest hobby was to become famous throughout the world.

"I do not yet know the Daoist's name?"

*Cough, cough. *

Shi Xue finally found an opportunity to interject at this moment and said:

"This is Ren Yidao of Luoyue Peak of the Divine Path Sect."

Ren Yidao...

Searching for this name in his mind, Eunuch Yang could not find any figure in his records that matched it.

A pseudonym?

"Daoist Ren, what are you doing here? Also, what is the situation with this demon fox? Could you please explain?"

Having had contact with Ren Yidao a few times, Shi Xue had also roughly grasped a bit of his personality.

Although he looked amiable and without arrogance on the surface, there was actually a kind of arrogance in his bones.

High and lofty, it would not change because of status or position, just like... a god looking down upon mortals.

As long as one did not deliberately provoke him, this guy was quite easy to talk to under normal circumstances.

Although Shi Xue was a bit annoyed by this, once she realized that she could not suppress him on her own, she decisively restrained herself.

If you can't beat them, bow your head first.

Once you can beat them, make him pay back the debt from back then.

"Ah, right, I was just about to explain."

Ren Yidao waved his hand, and the Heavenly Fox Dao God behind him gradually became illusory, finally disappearing completely from the spot.

"It can even turn invisible?"

Li Lingling first looked around curiously, trying to find where the white fox was hiding, but soon her expression changed.

She lifted her head, squinting at the sky with her lips moving slightly, whispering:

"It disappeared..."

Even using the Qi Gazing Technique, she could not see a trace of the fox's aura.

A Spirit Pet would not disappear easily; even if hidden in a Spirit Pet bag, it would still leak some aura.

Then, how exactly was this Daoist able to make a Spirit Pet disappear from this place entirely?

"The answer is actually very simple."

"Because that white fox is not my Spirit Pet, but my Dharma Aspect."

"Or rather, um, that is me."

Everyone:???

Among the four, only Shi Xue had managed to guess a little, so she was not that surprised.

As for Li Lingling, her expression kept changing.

From shock to blankness, then to confusion, and finally it completely froze in embarrassment.

What did I just say?

Sell it to me?

Name your price, I guarantee you'll be satisfied?

"..."

The ground beneath her feet began to sink gradually; Li Lingling dug her toes into the ground, wishing she could help Xianhu Temple dig a new foundation.

"Ever since we parted last time, I have had constant insights, until tonight when I had an epiphany here and advanced in one go."

"I luckily stepped into the Earth Realm."

Without further explanation, Ren Yidao turned to ask:

"What about Miss Shi, and why have you appeared here?"

Hesitating for a moment, because the other party was inherently a relevant person, Shi Xue still told Ren Yidao a portion of the truth.

"This pair of siblings are my distant relatives; they have come this time to join the Divine Path Sect."

Squinting to look at the two, Ren Yidao decided to selectively ignore the faint Dragon Qi on their bodies.

What Dragon Qi, what imperial clan members, Huhu knows absolutely nothing about that.

He did not show any excessive courtesy, nor did he have any intention of joining in the excitement, but instead offered a well-intentioned reminder:

"Other matters are not important, but there is one thing I must remind you of."

"Take my advice: go to any other main peak you like, but absolutely do not come to Luoyue Peak!"

As for the reasons or whatever, that depends on your own comprehension; Uncle can only reveal this much.

"Then you all should go first; I have one last thing to handle."

Looking at Ren Yidao with half-doubt, Shi Xue took Li Lingling and the others to bid farewell, stepping onto the road leading to the Divine Path Sect.

And after seeing them off, Ren Yidao stayed in the Xianhu Temple for a while longer before leaving without looking back.

But Ren Yidao did not rush back to the sect.

Instead, after leaving the city, he leaped onto a nearby small hill, sat cross-legged on the peak, and gazed at Chongzhou City in the night.

Tonight, he broke free from his shackles and completely erased the drawbacks of the Fox Immortal.

A hundred years of time, fleeting like a dream.

"Truly, I have had such a long dream..."

And now, it is time to wake from the dream.

When the light of Heaven first broke and the morning sun sprinkled onto the gradually awakening Chongzhou City, Ren Yidao slowly stood up.

"The mortal ties are exhausted."

This time, it is for real.

"Life between Heaven and Earth is like a traveler on a long journey."

Watching the gradually rising morning sun, Ren Yidao suddenly felt that something was still missing.

He said:

"There should be a magnificent scene to celebrate for me."

Taking a tail from behind him and transforming it into a feather fan, Ren Yidao waved it gently.

He said:

"Wind, come."

And so the wind rose.

Clouds came.

In just a moment, the sky above Chongzhou City was covered with dark clouds.

Very soon, the sound of pattering rain could be heard in every corner of this place.

The rain fell equally on every tile and brick here.

Just like that rain from decades ago that ended the great drought.

Rain fell upon Chongzhou City.

But the difference was that this rain, just like when it arrived, dissipated very quickly.

And many residents who had just woken from their dreams, after pushing open their windows, all saw an intoxicating scene.

Above the sky, a dazzling rainbow hung across the air, spanning the entire Chongzhou City.

One end of the rainbow rose from the ruins of the Xianhu Temple.

And the other end reached toward the endless distance.
