Chapter 215: The National Treasury! Dragon Kunlun's Suggestion (Part 1)

"Hmm..."

"He hasn't changed his appearance at all."

"Yes, he's in the Western Regions."

"I'm from the Southwest, and I'd recognize him even if he turned to ashes."

"Yes, come on over~"

"..."

After contacting the Brightmoon Sect, this person rejoiced.

"Brilliant~"

"The bounty is as good as ours."

Upon hearing this news, Princess Ji Haoyue's interest was piqued.

"What?"

"Tang Yu's whereabouts have been discovered."

"Exactly, come quickly~"

"..."

Elder Li, having just departed, was deep in thought.

"Hmm, it seems like our Brightmoon Sect has been too quiet lately. Outsiders might have forgotten our sect's capabilities!"

"A mere Tang Yu dares to betray our sect, and if we don't make an example of him, our sect's..."

"Yes, Elder Li. But what about Elder Lu's situation, or rather, the Moon Devouring Sect? Should we take action against them as well?"

"Regarding Elder Lu, we'll deal with it after he returns. As for the Moon Devouring Sect, it's not something we can handle lightly. We should contact some people and see if we can join forces to deal with them."

Princess Ji Haoyue sighed softly, lifting her teacup for a sip. But in a moment of distraction, she nearly choked, tears welling up in her eyes.

A fit of coughing ensued, leaving her speechless.

How could this be? Such bad luck!

Unaware of her predicament, Elder Li, who had just set out, was deep in thought about the Moon Devouring Sect, causing him to lose focus. In a moment of distraction, he almost fell from his flying sword, a near miss.)

Although he certainly wouldn't get hurt, this unprecedented experience made him feel a hint of unease.

...

Beyond the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land.

Lin Fan, having collected his flying sword, was about to leave when he suddenly sensed a terrifying aura.

"Dare to make a move near the Holy Land?"

He retreated, enraged.

The powerful cultivators from the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty arrived, filled with murderous intent, their hearts heavy with grief and anger.

They had learned of the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty's destruction.

Their dynasty, now gone...

After so many years, success was within reach, but now, everything had crumbled, and he had lost his home.

No, he was now homeless.

For a long time, he wouldn't be able to seek revenge.

Not only was his strength insufficient for revenge, but his very survival was at stake. The Moon Devouring Sect would surely hunt him down, and he had to hide himself quickly, or his fate would be uncertain.

"But before that, I must kill this person and obtain their unique treasure. For me, it's also a form of assistance."

"Trying to escape?"

"Stay!"

Without hesitation, he made his move.

Holy Land or not, who cared?

If he killed this person, they might not pursue him.

Besides, what was there to worry about?

A loud explosion! A white figure appeared, as if freezing space itself.

Lin Fan fled.

But he felt like he was stuck in mud, his speed clearly visible yet seemingly frozen in place.

"Impressive."

Lin Fan frowned, activating the Walking Secret Art.

Although it wasn't the complete version, it still possessed some of its power, preventing him from being completely immobilized.

With the Walking Secret Art's boost, he even managed to enter the Holy Land!

"Come to kill me?"

After entering the Holy Land, he asked.

"Die!"

A white figure appeared, filled with murderous intent.

"Damn!"

But this was a chance!

However, the change had already occurred.

When he made his move, a white figure suddenly appeared within the Holy Land.

"To dare to act within the Holy Land's boundaries, die."

"No!!!"

The cultivator from the Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty, his scalp tingling with fear, immediately turned and fled.

The sun had set, and the moon rose high in the sky, illuminating the ruins of the former Imperial City. The once grand and bustling metropolis now lay in desolate silence, its streets empty and its buildings in various states of disrepair.

Lin Fan stood amidst this desolation, his eyes scanning the surroundings with a mix of curiosity and determination. He had come to this place with a purpose, one that was both personal and crucial for the future of the continent.

As he ventured deeper into the city, his footsteps echoed in the quiet, his presence a solitary figure amidst the ruins. He was determined to uncover the secrets hidden within these ancient walls, secrets that might hold the key to the continent's survival.

The air grew colder as he approached the heart of the city, a chill that seemed to emanate from the very stones themselves, as if the city itself were mourning its fallen glory. Lin Fan's breath formed small clouds in the crisp air, a reminder of the harsh winter that had descended upon the land.

He reached the center of the city, where the Imperial Palace once stood. Now, it was a mere shell of its former grandeur, its walls crumbling and its gardens overgrown with wild, untamed nature.

Lin Fan's eyes narrowed as he surveyed the palace grounds, his keen gaze taking in every detail, every broken stone, and every withered plant. He was searching for something, a clue, a sign, anything that might lead him to his objective.

Suddenly, he stopped. His eyes had fixed upon a small, almost imperceptible detail, a hint of something hidden within the ruins. He approached it cautiously, his steps slow and deliberate, as if afraid to startle whatever secret he was about to uncover.

He knelt, reaching out to touch the ground, his fingers tracing a faint, almost invisible line. A line that seemed to glow with a faint, ethereal light, a light that only he could see.

"This is it," he whispered, his voice filled with a mix of excitement and trepidation. "This is the clue I've been searching for."

He stood, his eyes scanning the surroundings once more, his gaze sharp and focused. He was determined to uncover the truth behind this hidden clue, a truth that might change everything.

The night deepened, the moon casting long shadows across the ruins. Lin Fan stood amidst this ancient city, his figure illuminated by the pale moonlight, his eyes filled with determination and a hint of fear.

He was about to uncover a secret that might shape the future of the continent, a secret that might decide the fate of countless lives.

"It's possible!"

Fire Kunlun's expression turned solemn.

"I suddenly realize I'm utterly useless here!" he exclaimed.

"But at least I'm still useful in crafting," he added, somewhat reassured.

"Hey!" Xiao Ling Er exclaimed, rolling her eyes at Fire Kunlun's sudden self-deprecation.

"What's that supposed to mean?" she asked.

"Nothing, just feeling lucky that I'm still good for something," he replied, a hint of relief in his voice.

Xiao Ling Er rolled her eyes again.

"We can copy some of the cultivation techniques and skills here. We'll each take a copy for our respective factions, but there's not much else of value..."

"Even mosquito legs are meat," Jin Zhen said, asserting the treasure belonged to Moon Embracing Sect.

"Of course," Xu Fenglai agreed. "Moreover, the spirit stones mined from the spirit stone veins we claimed in Sun Moon Immortal Dynasty will be shared equally. It's only fair."

"As it should be," Jin Zhen said, even suggesting, "Is a fifty-fifty split too little?"

"You're too kind," Xiao Ling Er said, smiling slightly but not refusing the offer.

After all, it was a great opportunity, and it only made sense to accept. They had fought hard here, and it was only fair to share the spoils.

As they divided the treasures, Xiao Ling Er recalled the fragments of the Ascension Cauldron she had collected. An idea formed in her mind.

"When I return, I'll start searching for items to help you refine your physical body. It's time to settle the old grudges," she declared.

On the journey back, the group was mostly silent, each lost in their thoughts as they tended to their wounds.

Qiu Yongqin decided to visit Beast Taming Sect, which he had left years ago.

After being away for so long, he wanted to check on the sect, especially with their recent expansion to five hundred and twenty Spirit Mountains. And with his injuries, it made sense to visit, heal, and then embark on his next adventure.

Song Yun Xiao, on the other hand, felt a twinge of pain.

During the battle, he had relied on the power of the Mystic Essence, enduring the enemy's attacks for a time. But the strain had been immense.

Chaos Heavenly Boar grunted, expressing his dissatisfaction. He demanded a hundred beautiful female pigs to soothe his anger.

Su Yan remained silent, deep in thought.

Three-Leaf, nestled in the embrace of Jian Jiuhuang, who held her close, also maintained his silence.

Upon returning to the Southwest Domain, Jian Jiuhuang took a deep breath. "Everyone, it's time for us to part ways."

"Oh?" Xiao Ling Er was surprised. "You're not challenging me to a duel?"

Jian Jiuhuang hesitated, a bitter smile on his face. "A battle I'm destined to lose has no meaning, not even for practicing the Ancient Scripture."

Xiao Ling Er frowned, sensing his genuine disappointment.

He had seemed so carefree before, laughing and joking around, but now she realized he had been hiding his true feelings.

"I thought I was doing fine, but now I see I've been slacking off," he admitted. "I need to work harder, or I'll never catch up."

"You're not weak," Xiao Ling Er tried to reassure him.

"You're lying!" Wang Teng snapped, glaring at her. "How dare you, a junior, speak to your senior like that?!"

Jian Jiuhuang's face fell, feeling a surge of insecurity.

"You're not helping!" he snapped at Wang Teng.

Anger flashed in his eyes.

"I'm leaving!" he declared, turning away.

With a dramatic flourish, he strode off in the direction of Spirit Sword Sect.

Xiao Ling Er sighed, ready to continue her journey, but she noticed White·Long Aojiao also preparing to leave.

"Why did you..."

"I can't just return to the Moon Embrace Sect like this."

Long Ao Jiao furrowed her brows slightly, deep in thought. "In the previous great battle, too many of Long Ao Tian's methods were exposed. I fear that the Feather Clan will soon track us down."

"When that happens, the Moon Embrace Sect will surely be destroyed."

The Feather Clan was no small fry.

To be precise, all the birds in the world were part of the Feather Clan!

In the eight domains and one state of the Immortal Martial Continent, how numerous were the birds? Even the entire Demon Clan had intricate connections with the Feather Clan.

If the Feather Clan worked together, and the entire Demon Clan joined forces, even the Holy Lands would not dare to take them lightly. There was a good chance they could even annihilate a certain Holy Land!

Currently, the Moon Embrace Sect was indeed not weak.

But compared to the Feather Clan...

They were nothing.

Long Ao Jiao herself was fearless.

If she had been afraid, she wouldn't have dared to kill the third and second divine sons of the Feather Clan, so boldly.

But if it involved the Moon Embrace Sect, that was another matter.

Although she disliked Lin Fan and found Fan Jian Gang even more annoying, their deaths were insignificant compared to Xiao Ling'er, who was someone she had her eyes on.

After she regained her male body, she planned to make Xiao Ling'er her Dao companion!

How could she do that if the Moon Embrace Sect was destroyed and Xiao Ling'er killed? So, she couldn't just return like this.

"This is indeed a problem."

Xiao Ling'er's expression gradually turned solemn.

"It's all because of me."

Ya Ya sighed bitterly, "This matter..."

"What does this have to do with you?"

Long Ao Jiao glanced at her and humphed, "Don't be sentimental. I didn't act for you; it was just a transaction."

"Whether the target was you or her, or even a dog, I would do as I say."

Ya Ya: "Er..."

Long Ao Jiao crossed her arms, looking even more 'tsundere'.

At the same time, she was also sizing up Ya Ya.

This girl was also very beautiful.

Her strength was something even Long Ao Jiao had to respect!

Although she was a bit young, people did grow up. After Long Ao Jiao recovered, she could take Ya Ya as a concubine—no problem!

And that Seventh Princess of Qian Yuan Immortal Dynasty...

Later, she would make her a concubine too.

Hmph!

Long Ao Jiao had it all planned out.

But she herself hadn't noticed that over these two years, she had become increasingly indifferent about when she would regain her male body.

It wasn't as urgent as before. "You don't have to go through so much trouble."

Seeing everyone's conflicted expressions, Long Ao Jiao huffed, "I already have a plan. They only know the methods of Long Ao Tian that I possess, but they don't know if I am Long Ao Tian himself."

"So, as long as Long Ao Jiao is in the Moon Embrace Sect, and Long Ao Tian can still stir up trouble in the world, even killing powerful Feather Clan members and being pursued..."

"The Moon Embrace Sect's crisis will naturally be resolved."

"As for the similarity in techniques and secrets, at worst, I'll just say I inherited them from the Zhongzhou Long family!"

"I don't believe they'd dare question the Long family."

"..."

In the end, as Long Ao Jiao said, she used her physical clone to cause trouble.

To increase her chances of success, Xiao Ling'er specially sought permission from Lin Fan and, after receiving his affirmation, passed on the Thousand Transformations Technique to her.

After all, Long Ao Jiao had indeed helped them greatly this time.

Moreover, Lin Fan had come to understand Long Ao Jiao's personality very well.

She was a stubborn donkey, but if you stroked her in the right direction, she would be one of the best partners!

She was someone who would really step up when needed!

It's just that her personality was not great, always showing off, and sometimes, she could make people feel suffocated.

...

Four Directions Immortal Dynasty.

Upon receiving the news, Zhou Taihou and the others exchanged glances.

Finally, Zhou Taihou cursed, "The powerful cultivators and armies of the Qin and Xu Royal Kingdoms have quietly left, and now, only empty shells remain?"

"Damn it! What are our spies doing?"

"Such a huge matter!"

"And I'm only hearing about it now?"

"If we delay any further, even the Four Directions Immortal Dynasty might change its name!"

Zhou Wang and Zhu Wang's expressions were equally unsightly.

"Xu Wang and Qin Wang have hidden themselves well, and they've given our informants important tasks, assigning them to distant locations. That's why we haven't received any intelligence until now."

"If it weren't for the news of the great battle in the Sun and Moon Immortal Dynasty, where they sent all their forces, we would still be in the dark."

"According to the latest information, they plan to occupy a piece of land in the Sun and Moon Immortal Dynasty and settle there, with no intention of returning."

"This is the best outcome we could hope for."

"They have secretly joined forces, and if we were to fight, we would also suffer heavy losses.
