Chapter 42 (2/2)
The Island Lord's pupils shrunk He stared at the frost of blood on the sword for a aze over the place, as if searching for someone But other than the darkness of the heavens and the sea, and the deadly-looking uneven rocks rising a
The Island Lord retracted his gaze and sighed lightly The pressuring aura of a forlooo back”
Seeing this, soive chase, but Zhou Hanzheng raised his hand to stop the looked at the Island Lord's back The words he spoke were cold and threatening, “What kind of o against hi Wanqiu hadn't gone far, so she'd heard these words She gave hilare and said, “Island Lord, ould you keep this vile person named Zhou, it'd be better to kill him early!”
The Island Lord didn't turn back and continued walking ahead Hearing those words, he chuckled lightly, his intention unclear
Speaking of this, soht not know of the enorant of Azure Dragon Island All the cultivator sects valued its own people highly Quite a nu froon Island's Lecture Hall Not only was the Island Lord's cultivation extremely powerful, he was also referred to as the ‘Greatest Master Under the Heavens'
The cos: ‘Heavens, Earth, Emperor, Faer lifespans, so familial relations weren't very important, and thus ‘Family' was crossed out They also refused to bow to the influence of mortal laws, so there was no ‘Emperor' to take into account From those five, only ‘Heavens, Earth, and Master' were left One's cultivation sect was regarded ht of the title ‘Greatest Master Under the Heavens'
If they were to tell others, would anyone believe that the Lord of Azure Dragon Island, the leader of the Four Saints, Gu Yanxue, would look so gloo the Four Saints, the Lord of Azure Dragon Island reatest cultivation, but everyone had always silently acknowledged him as the leader of the Four Saints Of course, this was done for a reason
When the group hurried to the on Island, a fierce battle had broken out there
Turns out, the night patrols and disciples had all gathered here, currently tangled in battle with another party
The decennial Celestial Market was a great event in the cultivator world, was there any formidable master from any respectable sect ouldn't be mindful of courtesy? But these visitors had no friendly intentions The tides were violent on the sea, countless large shi+ps faintly visible on the dark expanse of the waters The light emitted from the sword riders twinkled in the sky like stars, billows of waves rising to the heavens
Looking closely, the rogue cultivators' ru the approaching crowd!
As if being next to the Island Lord was an assurance of safety, Li Yun finally snapped out of his panic and once again returned to his knowledgeable self He said, “That's not an Azure Dragon The Azure Dragon is an ancient celestial beast, ould it appear in the hue, aren't flood dragons only found in Xixing Palace? Why would it be on the East Sea?”
Han Yuan said, “It's probably stolen by some deathered his Qi toward his eyes, gazing into the distance He said in surprise, “The Panlong Banner — There's the Xixing Palace's Panlong Banner on the boat! But ould Xixing Palace…”
Azure Dragon Island and Xixing Palace were both part of the Ten Great Sects Xixing Palace was located in a rather secluded place, always e that they cultivated away from the outside world They never cared about the affairs outside their sect, and there didn't seereat distance to stir up trouble at Azure Dragon Island?
Before Li Yun could finish speaking, the Island Lord suddenly whistled The seeon on the sea instantly fell into the water, producing a large surge of waves that overturned three boats at the sa abruptly went silent — even the ferocious tides seemed to have been calmed
Both sides of the conflict stopped involuntarily, the crowd clearing to ood fellows froht and caused such a stir, I wonder what business you ht have?”
A horn was sounded, the densely packed shi+ps on the sea parting away Froed to the surface An old man whose hair was entirely white stood at the bow of the shi+p Even though there was a strange air around hi aura wasn't affected in the slightest His gaze was solid as he swept his eyes over the crowd “Gu Yanxue, a century has passed, but the Lord of Azure Dragon Island is ihtly and cupped his own hand in greeting, “Bai Ji Daoyou is too generous”
Yan Zheng into important events in the records when he first caon Island, he didn't care to take note of other things When he heard those words, he asked in a low voice, “Who is Bai Ji?”
Li Yun whispered into his ear, “The Master of Xixing Palace It is said that he's almost a thousand years old In the past, people often speculated that he would be the first person in Jiuzhou [3] to achieve the Dao and ascend to iht be exhausted soon”
Cheng Qian settled his breathing and struggled to push Yan Zheng away He stood by hi, why do you know soto do with you” Yan Zheng what kind of for Qian's pulse, frowning while checking his wounds
The two greatest for the crowd Soue cultivators fro the excite onto the trees and rocks nearby, looking on and discussing a the Palace is sending people here, why did you not send a h our Island is but a barren isolated land, would we fail to understand the common courtesy of hosts? Palace Master Bai, what is your intention, bringing your people here to intrude in thisshi+p had drawn near in an instant Bai Ji said, “Of course, this humble person hadn't coo, one ofthat your island's Celestial Market was quiteto join in the fun Afterward, he sent athat he'd seen your island's Lecture Hall and wanted to learn soue cultivator, and lost contact for the past few years We all thought that he'd been cultivating on your Island, but a few days ago, uished I used soul-searching methods to summon his soul back, but I couldn't find it no matter what And then I realized, he, he…”
When Bai Ji spoke to this point, he choked on a sob and couldn't continue
Han Yuan frowned as he listened Unlike his shi+xiong, who never cared about the affairs of the outside world, he was the type ould poke his nose into everyone's business Every single ruh his ears, and he'd never heard that any life had been lost in the Lecture Hall
With a wave of the Island Lord's hand, a disciple ca a book of naht I inquire, what is your grandson's true name?”
Bai Ji forcefully suppressed his sorrow and said in a quivering voice, “First part Yan, second part Li”
The Island Lord tossed the book of nahtly as he es were quickly flipped through fro even once, and finally fell with its back facing up
The disciple said, “Island Lord, no person naistered in the Lecture Hall”
From not too far away, so Wanqiu, as standing in attendance on the side, answered, “Ion Island is, to allow entry for so an alias? If it's not their real surnaiven name, it wouldn't appear in the book of names!”
The moment she opened herbad was about to happen As expected, Bai Ji became furious when he heard her His hair frizzled up as he said, “What are you iain a thousand eyes and limbs' The phrase used here is 「千手千眼」 This is basically a reference to Sahasrbhuja Sahasrnetra Avalokiteśvara, a bodhisattva who embodies the compassion of all Buddhas
