Chapter 556

"I think if the Grand Dragon Head could see you, he would surely be happy and satisfied."

"..."

Seeing Dugu Jian like this, Dugu Qiubai couldn't help but think of the other Dragon Heads and was instantly speechless.

Is it fashionable now to find women for the Grand Dragon Head?

Am I a bit behind the times?

Thinking of this, Dugu Qiubai secretly made up his mind that he must also find a few beauties for the Grand Dragon Head to take back.

374 Different paths cannot be planned together!

Seeing Nie Feng heard Dugu Jian's words and was also speechless for a moment.

Why does everyone think that I am the one finding women for the Grand Dragon Head?

Isn't my mission clearly to marry Ming Yue?

But after thinking about it, Seeing Nie Feng suddenly felt this misunderstanding was quite good.

Deep down, he actually didn't have much feeling for Ming Yue.

If he could bring Ming Yue, and even that beauty who looked exactly like Ming Yue, to present to the Grand Dragon Head,

it would presumably count as completing the Grand Dragon Head's mission!

Second Dream had long heard of Ximen Wudi's reputation, and now hearing Dugu Jian arrange things this way,

she had not a single bit of unwillingness in her heart.

Seeing the expressions of the two goddesses, Seeing Nie Feng also knew this matter was most likely settled.

Just as he was about to take the two back to Qinglong Peak, he suddenly remembered that he had just gone crazy and hadn't even dealt with Qin Shuang's corpse.

He immediately said a word to the few people, then hurried toward the place where Qin Shuang's corpse lay.

After Seeing Nie Feng left, Dugu Qiubai suddenly raised an eyebrow, looking toward a distant place,

"Senior Dugu, do you feel it too?"

"Yes..."

Dugu Jian and Dugu Qiubai exchanged a glance, and told the two women to stay here for now.

Then their figures moved and they immediately vanished.

When they reappeared, they were already in a dense forest outside Lu Wushuang City.

Here, the Human-Face Envoy and Di Yi Qiusheng had both been dead for a long time.

Only that strange person from before was drawing the bizarre black Qi from the two of them.

"Yifang? You really have come back!"

Dugu Jian looked at the person before him; although he had changed his appearance, he was still recognized.

This person was actually the former City Lord of Lu Wushuang City, today's twenty-fifth ranked great master on the Heavenly Dao Golden List,

Rebirth Crossing—Dugu Yifang!

"Big Brother..."

After Dugu Yifang finished absorbing those two streams of black Qi, his face flushed red again, looking utterly enraptured.

Only after finishing did he speak to Dugu Jian,

"Parted for several decades, I didn't expect Big Brother's bearing to surpass the past!"

When he had left Lu Wushuang City back then to go to Qianwangjian Sect to watch the battle, Dugu Jian had not yet comprehended Sword Twenty-Three.

Now, having comprehended Sword Twenty-Three in one move, Dugu Jian's head of graying hair had long since returned to black.

His temperament, compared to back then, had improved by who knows how much.

"Yifang! Since you've come back, why didn't you show yourself earlier?"

Dugu Jian felt this was the strangest part.

Lu Wushuang City, to Dugu Jian, apart from Dugu Yifang as a relative, was actually dispensable.

In his heart, there was only the sword!

But Dugu Yifang was the City Lord of Lu Wushuang City!

Lu Wushuang City was able to grow from an ordinary Men Sect to standing against Tianxia Society on equal footing, and Dugu Yifang's contribution was indispensable.

It could be said that Lu Wushuang City was the crystallization of his life's work.

Why today, when the mad Nie Feng nearly destroyed Lu Wushuang City, was Dugu Yifang clearly present yet did not act?

"Big Brother didn't act because of a cuckoo occupying the magpie's nest!"

"My not acting is for much the same reason as yours!"

"The little Lu Wushuang City is no longer what I want."

Dugu Yifang said indifferently.

From these words, Dugu Jian heard Dugu Yifang's deep ambition.

He couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart, but still said,

"Yifang! Lu Wushuang City indeed has nothing worth being attached to."

"With your current talent, why not join our Qinglong Society?"

"I think every Dragon Head will surely give you a decent position."

Dugu Yifang flatly refused,

"No need! Big Brother! Different paths cannot be planned together!"

"Perhaps the Qinglong Society is a fine choice for you, but for me it is useless."

"Farewell."

Saying this, Dugu Yifang's figure flashed and he vanished outright.

"Yifang…"

Dugu Jian watched the direction he had left, and could not help feeling an endless wave of melancholy.

"Brother Dugu, don't take it to heart — everyone has their own aspirations!"

Dugu Qiubai, seeing that Dugu Jian was somewhat melancholy, also spoke up to comfort him.

"Worthy brother, do you think Yifang left because of the Demon Lord?"

Thinking that Dugu Yifang was now one of the Six Demon Crossing, saved by the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen,

Dugu Jian felt that perhaps this matter was somehow connected to the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen.

"It probably isn't!"

Dugu Qiubai shook his head directly and said,

"Although I have never met the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen, I once heard the Grand Dragon Head mention her."

"Oh? The Grand Dragon Head actually knew about the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen long ago?"

Dugu Jian was utterly astonished.

"What the Grand Dragon Head knows is far more than you could imagine."

Instead, Dugu Qiubai, seeing nothing strange in it, continued,

"The Grand Dragon Head once said that this Demon Lord Bai Suzhen appears to be a demon, but in truth she grieves for the fate of all under heaven."

"Moreover, apart from one matter, she has nothing in her heart but the desire to find the God of Immortality and exact her revenge."

"As for anything else — imperial hegemony, Wu Lin supremacy — she has no such ambitions at all."

"Then why did Yifang leave?"

Dugu Jian, hearing Ximen Wudi evaluate the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen in such a way, could not help but feel even more puzzled.

"Alright! We…"

Dugu Qiubai was about to say something when his heart suddenly stirred, and he spoke toward a stretch of woods,

"Come out!"

From the shadows of the trees, a figure slowly emerged,

"This subordinate is a disciple under the Second Month Hall, paying respects to the Third Dragon Head and Mr. Dugu."

The newcomer was actually a disciple from the Second Month Hall of the Qinglong Society; Dugu Jian, being something like a guest elder within the Qinglong Society, held no specific position.

Therefore, ordinary members of the Qinglong Society would address a guest elder as "Mr."

"Speak!"

Dugu Qiubai, hearing it was a disciple of the Second Month Hall, vaguely guessed it was related to the Qinglong Summit.

"This disciple is here on the orders of the Fourth Dragon Head, sent to Yunzhou to track down the whereabouts of the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen."
