Chapter 383 - Twin Yues (1/2)
Qiu Jin'er felt Zhong Yue's body suddenly freeze for a moment, and she immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Zhong Yue answered calmly.
He then moved his eyes away and thought to himself in shock, Who is this lady? Her gaze felt like they could see through all the secret of my soul, this has never happened before! Who is she, how is this possible?
Zhong Yue then asked Chi Xue through his psyche, "Senior martial sister, may I know your name? And if possible, where you stay?"
"Zhong Shan Clan's member, don't you think you are a little bit too presumptuous?"
On the stage, Chi Xue laughed, exposing her little canine teeth, "You came to me just like that to ask my name and where I'm staying. My mother said that men are all evil beings and that I should be careful of them or I will be harmed by them. My name is Chi Xue, and I stay at the Kunlun World's Western Mother Empire. I am seventeen years old now, second among my sisters, and I am not married yet."
Upon hearing her reply, Zhong Yue was very much speechless as the girl said that she should be wary of men, but before Zhong Yue could say anything, the girl had already revealed everything about herself in an instant.
"How did you manage to do it? A soul shared between two bodies?" asked a curious Chi Xue.
"This is my secret, and I hope Senior Martial Sister Chi Xue could help me keep it that way," Zhong Yue answered.
Chi Xue then laughed and said, "Of course, a person fighting his own self is an interesting thing to watch, and this will be my first time witnessing something like that. I am definitely keen to see this, so I won't expose your secret."
…..
Zhong Yue and his companions had become the center of attention in Fiery Capital as soon as they showed up. No matter where they went or what they did, they would draw everyone's gaze since Zhong Yue had, after all, caused a considerable ruckus among the demons.
Suddenly, a hearty laugh rang out as West Barren celestial Qi Practitioner stood up, "Zuo Xiangsheng, long time no see! You have not shown yourself ever since the incident in West Barren."
That Qi Practitioner's aura was like a vast mountain, and a four-armed Yuan Shen emerged behind his back. From the looks of his Yuan Shen, this Qi Practitioner was definitely from the Shan Shen Celestial race. He obviously had some conflict with Zuo Xiangsheng back in the West Barren as he immediately asked for a fight with Zuo Xiangsheng just as Zhong Yue and the others showed up.
This Shan Shen Celestial Race Qi Practitioner possessed incredible natural strength; he should be quite a character in the Inner Core level of West Barren.
Zuo Xiangsheng looked at him and said, "Anything that you want from me, Senior Martial Brother Shan Zhufeng?"
"The battle between you and me never got to happen because of the interference from the Shen Ya Celestial Race. How about we settle our business here today? What do you say, Senior Martial Brother Zuo Xiangsheng?"
"Alright, after you then, senior martial brother," Zuo Xiangsheng answered evenly.
"Let's go to the outside!" said Shan Zhufeng as he led the way out of Fiery Capital.
Zuo Xiangsheng then followed behind him while Tian Xiangzong said as he frowned, "Something is off, this Shan Zhufeng immediately distracted Senior Martial Brother Zuo away from us. Its as if he is trying to stop anyone strong from following beside you… When we arrived, the people from the other clans were also distracting Elder Shui away, and after Senior Martial Brother Zuo, it should be me… Something is not right here. There seems to be a plot brewing behind the scene. We mustn't let our guard down!"
Zhong Yue then laughed and replied, "Senior Martial Brother Tian, don't' worry, just look at Long Yue."
Tian Xiangzong looked towards Long Yue who was on the stage only to find that this Long Yue was dressed with exceptional flamboyance and luxury and exuded a sense of immense power within his body. He also realized that the draconic power surging within Long Yue was so intense that when it leaked out, it formed an image of a running Xiang Dragon. Tian Xiangzong then thought in awe. I can't tell if this is real or not at all!
From his point of view, Long Yue who was on the stage was definitely a member of the dragon race, one that was incredibly strong for sure and at the same time, he must be one of the strongest in the Inner Core level even with every race taken into consideration!
Where did Junior Martial Brother Zhong find this dragon? His disguise is so much better than ours!
Tian Yanzong was extremely puzzled as Shui Zian made them follow Zhong Yue to disguise as Long Yue so that Zhong Yue's secret would not be revealed. However, there seemed to be a Long Yue present already, so there was no need for them to disguise as Long Yue anymore. He then thought, Could it be this Long Yue is someone Junior Martial Brother Zhong asked to take his place as Long Yue? No… it can't be, if it were really like that, the other races will definitely find out about it easily. After all, Long Yue's arts and techniques have already been well-documented and understood by many. Even if the dragons themselves tried to pose as Long Yue, they wouldn't be able to pull off this good of an imitation. Then who is this young man? Are Junior Martial Brother Zhong and Long Yue really the same person?"
At this time, Zhong Yue whispered to Tian Yanzhong, "Not so worried anymore, eh? Senior Martial Brother Tian."
Just when Tian Yanzong was beginning to feel relieved, someone called him out and chortled loudly, "Tian Yanzong, do you still remember me?"
Tian Yanzong looked towards the Qi Practitioner from the Gui Shen Clan, and he replied, "Wei Heiqi, have you not been beaten up enough by me?"
Wei Heiqi hmphed and as eight banners shrouded in black mist rose from his back, and he said, "Today, we will fight again and decide which one of us is more superior! I will wait for you the outside!"
Then, he turned into a black ray and shot towards the outside. His voice then sounded out again, "Come out and receive your punishment from me, Tian Yanzong!"
Tian Yanzong then looked at Zhong Yue and said softly, "They are plotting something, you must be careful."
Zhong Yue nodded and replied, "Go, don't worry, I can take care of myself. After all, I've already been through many unbelievable incidents. You don't have to remind me to be careful."
Tian Yanzong then turned around and chased after Wei Heiqi.
Meanwhile, in the Fiery Capital's palace, Shui Zian immediately noticed that Zuo Xiangsheng and Tian Yanzong were pulled away from Zhong Yue's side, and he instantly knew that something bad is about to happen. However, he remained calm as he continued entertaining conversations with the others elders including the Xia Clan and Zhu Rong Clan clan masters. He then laughed and said, "Gentlemen, since the two main characters today have arrived, how about we go ahead and watch their battle?"
