Chapter 1389 Chapter 325: Great Dream Clan
Thinking about running into those familiar faces again, Li Hao felt a bit of anticipation.
However, unlike the anticipation of reminiscing with Lie Sky Saint, the matter with Source Ancestor and Divine King, who faked their deaths back then, forcing him to fight the Ancient Demon alone and nearly lose his life, required settling the score.
But now that they have sought refuge under the Heavenly Palace, it’s unclear what their identities are, and he’ll need to find a way to handle it appropriately when the time comes.
As Li Hao’s thoughts were swirling, two figures were engaged in conversation as they walked into the palace.
Li Hao looked up and saw a man and a woman, who seemed extremely well-matched, standing together like a golden boy and a jade maiden.
The young man was extraordinarily handsome, with eyes as deep blue as the ocean and a touch of androgynous beauty on his face.
The young woman seemed not very old, about eighteen years old, her eyes carried a faint rainbow mist, and her clothes floated like clouds, somewhat similar to the Dream Lord’s attire.
“Hmm?”
As Li Hao observed the two, they also noticed Li Hao, stopped talking, and were both startled.
In this palace of their master, there were actually other people besides the two of them?
Although Master had other disciples, they were all over three thousand years old and not part of this outing.
After all, Master said he would personally go and escort them, while ensuring that the Dream Nine Abysses would have others stationed to prevent external sects from scheming an incursion.
“Is it you?”
Soon, the two recognized Li Hao, both were taken aback, and their expressions changed immediately.
Li Hao had defeated the Imperial Family in Ascension City in the Ancient Immortal Realm, becoming a well-known figure in the Yan Chu Nine Thousand Immortal Cities, so his face was no stranger to them; after all, he was a prodigy emerging from their Great Dream Nine Abysses.
“How did you get here? Who allowed you in?”
After the young man’s expression changed, it immediately darkened as he stared intently at Li Hao.
Li Hao sensed a change of expression, apparently hostile, but didn’t mind, only asking, “And who are you?”
“We are Master’s disciples, and you are not!”
The young man, annoyed at Li Hao’s counter-question, retorted.
Li Hao suddenly understood, calmly saying, “It was the Dream Lord who brought me here.”
“Master?”
The young man’s expression shifted slightly, but it was something he had somewhat expected, since without Master’s permission, it would be difficult for outsiders to enter unauthorized.
Yet, Master seems to favor this young man, even allowing him access here!
Feeling a bit jealous, his eyes turned somber as he said, “Very well, this is Master’s resting place. You may stay, but do not wander around.”
Li Hao raised an eyebrow slightly, glanced at the young man, and remained silent.
Seeing Li Hao not responding, the young man felt even more displeased. But before he could speak, the young woman beside him asked with interest,
“You’ve been in the Original Secret Realm for seven years; which Origin City did you go to?”
Li Hao felt a stirring in his heart and asked, “You’ve been there too?”
In the Origin City and even when the Great Dream Nine Abysses challenged the Desolate Domain in the Ancient Immortal Realm before, he had never seen these two. Besides, these two were evidently in the Immortal Monarch Realm, with their auras withdrawn yet exhibiting traits beyond the True Immortal Realm.
In the Dream Nine Abyss Sect, apart from that one in Spear Abyss, they had two Immortal Monarch Realms ready as a trump card, perhaps?
“Yes, we went ahead, with Master arranging another contact for us. But it was also by our own merits that we earned notable achievements beyond the frontier. Besides, we’re holding positions at the Demon Suppression Bureau; both my senior brother and I are First-Grade Demon Suppression Guards, and also reserve Spiritual Officials, which is how we got the opportunity.”
The young lady said.
The young man beside her had a slight change in expression, saying, “Little junior sister.”
Wanting to stop her, but it was already too late, so he could only transmit, “This should be kept confidential, no need to tell him more.”
“No worries, unless he earns a good ranking in the Southern Domain battle, Master won’t go out of his way to send him there either,” the young lady transmitted back unconcernedly.
The young man thought that was indeed the case and immediately said no more.
“Spiritual Official?”
Li Hao felt a stir, knowing they were reserve Spiritual Officials, while thanks to Elder Gu’s favor, along with his accumulated immortal accomplishments, he was already a Spiritual Official in the Demon Suppression Bureau. He wondered if he could revisit the Original Secret Realm through this connection.
There, even just Fishing or painting surpassed enlightenment outside and could facilitate breakthrough at any time.
“You’re all here.”
At this moment, a gentle voice came as the Dream Lord’s figure gracefully descended from outside the palace.
“Master.”
Seeing the Dream Lord, the two hurriedly bowed in salute.
“Senior.” Li Hao also quickly saluted.
The Dream Lord waved slightly, indicating they need not be so formal, and then said to his two disciples,
“This is Haotian, whom you should know. Haotian, these are my disciples; get to know each other. During the Southern Domain battle, you can support one another against any sect targeting you.”
“Support?”
The young man glanced at Li Hao, a subtle sneer in his heart, as if a True Immortal Realm could support an Immortal Monarch Realm.
But he understood that Master intended for them to watch over this young man, not revealing any dissatisfaction externally, since Master despised in-fighting among disciples the most.
“Mhm.”
Li Hao merely nodded in response, not giving it much thought.
“All this time, you might not have known my full name. Henceforth, you may call me Dream Sect Master, or Elder Meng. I am of the Great Dream Clan.” The Dream Lord softly spoke to Li Hao.
Li Hao had long heard that in the True Realm, ten thousand clans stand tall, out of which a hundred emerged as the pillars, the strongest of all races.
“Elder Meng.” Li Hao nodded.
The Dream Lord smiled and said to the young man and young lady, “This is from the Xuanyin Clan, in Yinjing City, and this is a prodigy of my Great Dream Clan, Meng Huaiyue.”
Li Hao glanced at the young lady, realizing why her attire resembled the Dream Lord, as her eyes also carried a hint of dreamlike hues.
