Chapter 361 Master is here
Beneath the azure sky of the desolate region, a beam of light, resembling a light-colored flowing cloud, quietly appeared.
The light of magic flickered and flew swiftly to the bottom of a dried-up waterfall, where it transformed into an old man dressed in a white robe when it landed.
Ling Yuanzi looked at the bare stone wall in front of him. The erosion marks left by the dried-up waterfall many years ago were still there, and it looked as if water was still flowing on it.
The old man raised his hand, and a white light flew out from his fingertips. After leaving his hand, it slowly grew larger and then attached itself to the entire stone slab.
In a daze, the sound of flowing water from many years ago seemed to echo again in a quiet corner of the desolate region.
The stone wall in front of the old man slowly changed, and a dark hole slowly appeared on it.
Ling Yuanzi first glanced at the cave entrance, then looked at his waist.
There hung an exquisite longsword, its scabbard tinged with a faint blue, inlaid with cloud patterns made of millennia-old giant clam shell from the Sky Fish Tide Domain, its colors shifting under different lighting.
The wispy strands don't resemble patterns; they truly look like drifting clouds in the sky.
The old man raised his hand and gripped the sword hilt, a wild smile spreading across his aged face:
"Zhuiyun, come with me one more time!"
Ling Yuanzi, the peak master of Jiyuan Peak of Xuanhuang Sect, has finally picked up his natal sword again after five hundred years.
The longsword was drawn, its cold light flashing.
A crimson line slowly appeared on the horizon not far away, like a crack, slowly tearing open the pitch-black night.
It was dawn.
At dawn, the old man slowly raised his hand and bowed to the stone wall before him, his voice deep and resolute:
"Ling Yuanzi of Jiyuan Peak of Xuanhuang Sect requests an audience with Senior Ye Jing."
Within the secret realm, a massive stone platform floats atop a sea of warm yellow clouds.
There were four people on the stone platform: Long Siyin, Yue Cheng, A Yue, and Ji Jinjin, who was still trapped in the illusion.
"It's Senior Ling Yuanzi!"
Hearing the sounds coming from outside, Long Siyin was overjoyed:
"Senior Ling Yuanzi is back!"
If Ling Yuanzi were here, he would definitely explain to this person that he did not return willingly.
But the old man isn't here right now; he's busy playing in the secret realm.
Within the illusion where Ji Jinjin was, the red-robed old man deep in the valley suddenly opened his eyes, a look of astonishment appearing in his sharp, hawk-like eyes.
The old man cleared his throat and spoke to the woman who was still working hard outside:
"Don't waste your efforts!"
Ji Jinjin's wrists were covered in blood. The woman pursed her lips, ignoring the old man's calls.
Having no other option, the old man simply came out of the cave and stood in front of Ji Jinjin, looking at the woman's wrists that had been pierced again.
Ji Jinjin finally looked at him properly. Her voice was filled with confusion: "Senior, what's wrong?"
The red-clad old man named Ye Jing looked at the stubborn woman before him and sighed softly:
“A man named Ling Yuanzi has come from outside. Do you know who he is?”
Ji Jinjin's phoenix eyes flickered slightly, a hint of joy flashing within them: "Is that my master?"
Seeing the unexpected joy on Ji Jinjin's face, the old man in red raised his hand and touched Ji Jinjin's forehead.
A beam of red light returned to Ji Jinjin's body!
The old man's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of accusation in his tone: "Since he is your master, then I will go and see how exactly your master taught you?"
Ji Jinjin felt as if something had been pulled out from between her eyebrows and then put back in, and her vision blurred as the world spun around her.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Ah Yue and the others with worried expressions, and a warm yellow sky above them.
"You're awake!" A joyful voice came from beside her. Ji Jinjin slowly got up and saw several heads around her quickly crowding around.
Looking at the lively and vivid people around her, Ji Jinjin couldn't help but recall the illusion Ye Jing had created for her. In that illusion, the people around her were killed by ferocious demons.
His wrists were also clad in strong handcuffs, preventing him from touching his weapons.
Having just emerged from the illusion, Ji Jinjin let the fox demon Eryue wipe the sweat from her forehead.
The woman frowned slightly, paused for a moment, and then asked Long Siyin beside her:
"My master has arrived?"
With a hoarse voice filled with joy, Long Siyin slowly nodded.
The moment the woman nodded, the old man's deep and powerful voice rang out again from outside the secret realm:
"Ling Yuanzi, the peak master of Jiyuan Peak of Xuanhuang Sect, requests an audience with Senior Ye Jing, hoping that Senior will release those children."
The last syllable of that sentence lingered in the secret realm. Ji Jinjin saw a small distortion appear in the space not far away, and a moment later, a dark red figure walked out of the void.
No, that's not a human figure, because it doesn't have human limbs or a head.
That was actually...
When Ji Jinjin saw the true nature of that thing for the first time, her eyes were filled with astonishment.
It was a set of dark red armor.
Not only Ji Jinjin, but the others who had been trapped in this secret realm also couldn't believe it.
The senior Ye Jing who had been toying with them in this secret realm was actually wearing a dark red suit of armor.
The armored figure slowly walked up to Ji Jinjin, his voice tinged with a hint of teasing:
Have you thought of anything?
Ji Jinjin slowly shook her head: "I really didn't expect that."
The armor's voice was incredibly hoarse:
"Humans are not like demons. Even the most powerful beings in the world are dead once they die."
After saying this, the armor slowly "looked" towards the end of the sea of clouds not far away.
The old man's voice was aged and hoarse:
“Fellow Daoist Ling Yuanzi, the borders of my Jishui Realm are weak, and you are, after all, a Sword Immortal.”
"Why not just cut it in two with a single sword strike!"
Outside the secret realm, Ling Yuanzi, who had spoken several times, understood what this person meant.
concise.
If you can come in, then come in.
A faint smile appeared on the old man's lips.
He was very familiar with this; it wasn't the first time he'd done something like this. Back in the day, when he explored secret realms with Yu Changsheng and the others, he'd been trapped inside before.
The old man held a broken sword and swiftly slashed at the stone wall in front of him.
"Buzz!"
As the deep sword hum rang out, the dark entrance in front of them shattered, transforming from the gateway to the secret realm into a broken void rift.
The old man slowly stepped inside...
Above the warm yellow clouds, Ji Jinjin saw a pitch-black crack appear on the horizon, violently shattering the eerie scenery. From the crack, a figure dressed in white slowly emerged.
The woman's eyes reddened, and she looked at Ling Yuanzi, almost bursting into tears:
"Master!"
