Chapter 266 – Their Goal Is Me (2/2)
Sure enough, three days later, the news that the Void Sect were openly accepting disciples spread throughout the Immortal World causing a huge uproar. Even the communities in the Chaotic Star Sea that were at the edge of the Immortal World heard about the news and would rush there. At this time, the usually quiet and serene Void Sect started bustling with activity. In the air above the Void Sect, a crowd of people were floating there as if waiting for something.
This piece of news naturally reached Lei Yu’s ears so Big White, Long Er, and he were in the main hall discussing on how to deal with it.
“I believe this is our chance. The Void Sect openly accepting disciples is a once in a millennia matter, and those hoping to become a disciple of the Sect will definitely flock there in droves. And naturally, that many people will create a chaotic atmosphere so at that time, we can become fishes in troubled waters and target an opportunity!” Proposed Long Er.
“Right, I think what Long Er said makes a lot of sense. Young master, what do you think? Such a large and powerful Sect that’s recruiting disciples on a large-scale basis will inevitably lead to chaos. If we can manage to blend in with the others, it’s highly possible we can find an opportunity to rescue your friend.” Big White endorsed at the side.
Lei Yu gently exhaled as his mind was on overdrive contemplating this. From what Lei You could discern, this matter was not that simple. Their real purpose was obviously him, but this was also a once in a lifetime opportunity.
“Since Long Er said that this was a rare instance that only happens once a millennia, it is indeed a good opportunity for us. But have you guys thought about why now? Have you thought about what their goal is?” Asked Lei Yu.
The two of them glanced at each other, “Could their goal be you?”
Lei Yu nodded, “Right. At this point, there’s no longer any need for me to hide things from you two. It’s time for me to tell you their true purpose.”
Lei Yu had no intentions of revealing his real identity. If he did, there was no doubt that Big White would immediately have a falling out with him and the consequences would be unimaginable. But there was one matter he could reveal without any problem.
“What’s their goal?” Big White and Long Er both asked in unison.
“Have you guys heard about the Dragon Vein?” Lei Yu asked.
“Dragon Vein?” replied Big White. “The Dragon Vein is one of the three legendary veins. In the ancient times, it had appeared before and they were separated into Heaven, Earth, and Dragon. And the Dragon Vein was the pillar of the three. What about it? Why did young master bring this subject up?”
“Wait a minute!” Long Er was a bit astonished as he interrupted. “I remember about four months ago, seven stars aligned in the sky and a huge dragon flew up into the air before flying back down as if it had found its owner. The Dragon Vein should have been absorbed by someone, and this extraordinary genius that only appears once a lifetime has been sought out by many Sects and factions.”
“Right, and that’s their true motive.” Pausing for a bit, Lei Yu then continued: “I am the person that absorbed the Dragon Vein, and the people the Immortal World sent out was to look for me.”
“What?!”
“This… this… this is impossible!” Big White and Long Er were both shocked as they stared at Lei Yu with wide eyes.
