Chapter 428 - 228: Why Did She Come to Wujishan! (Part 2)

Then he said to Gong Linqing: "This is my elder brother, Liou Zhen. Seeing him is like seeing me."

"Junior Gong Linqing, greetings to the senior." Gong Linqing was still in shock, and had yet to realize the significance of the name ’Liou Zhen’ on Five Extremes Mountain.

Liou Zhen nodded without saying much and led Liou Yuan straight into the cave dwelling.

Liou Yuan immediately followed in, not forgetting to close the stone door before entering.

Not until Liou Zhen’s figure disappeared did Gong Linqing’s tense body finally relax. However, he did not slack off and continued his duty, standing by Liou Yuan’s cave dwelling, keeping watch for him.

Inside the cave dwelling, Liou Yuan prepared a pot of hot tea for Liou Zhen.

The tea leaves were purchased from the Treasure Pavilion, costing one One-Star Stone per pound, hardly considered good tea.

Liou Zhen, however, drank it with relish.

While drinking tea, his long sleeves brushed across the stone table.

The All Heaven Derivation Array Disc was placed in front of Liou Yuan.

"I should have brought it over earlier, but seeing you were in retreat, I didn’t want to disturb you." Liou Zhen said, lightly lifting his chin to indicate Liou Yuan should take the array disc.

"The Divine Sense Mark inside the array disc has been erased, you can use it without worry."

"Thank you, big brother," Liou Yuan responded with a broad smile as he picked up the All Heaven Derivation Array Disc, now free from worries.

Besides the All Heaven Derivation Array Disc, Liou Zhen also brought good news.

"The Sect Leader has approved the request to exchange for Wood Spirit Energy."

"The Wood Spirit Energy has been transferred from the treasury and is temporarily with Mr. Wang from the Inner Sect, just waiting for the merit points to be ready for acquisition."

With Liou Zhen’s proud nature, if he had the money to exchange for Wood Spirit Energy, he wouldn’t have bothered to come by.

Liou Yuan could easily guess, without thinking hard, how empty his elder brother’s pockets were.

"Probably spent all his money buying me that Calming Elixir."

Liou Yuan saw through it but didn’t point it out, then asked Liou Zhen when it would be convenient, as he had the merit points to pay for the Wood Spirit Energy.

Liou Zhen replied, "Tomorrow then, since the Chaotic Scene is approaching, the sooner these matters are handled, the better."

"Make sure to rest well for the remaining time."

"Since ancient times, only one out of two enters the Chaotic Scene, don’t be careless."

It was evident that Liou Zhen placed great importance on the battle at the Chaotic Scene. He wasn’t worried about himself; compared to his opponent, he was more concerned for his brother.

"Big brother, be cautious too." Mentioning the Chaotic Scene, Liou Yuan’s expression grew solemn.

"The Liou Family must have heard about big brother’s deeds in Youhuang State. Their current silence surely means they’re confident."

"No matter." Liou Zhen smiled faintly; although no majestic aura was emitted from him, in Liou Yuan’s eyes, he appeared profoundly mysterious.

After handling the All Heaven Derivation Array Disc, Liou Zhen inquired about Liou Yuan’s cultivation progress.

He answered all of Liou Yuan’s perplexities one by one.

Finally, he reminded Liou Yuan: "After establishing your residence, when the cultivator’s three souls and seven spirits just merge with the heavens and earth, that is the best time to practice magic."

"This state lasts for half a year; do not waste it."

"You might make progress in your Sword Dao cultivation."

"I understand."

What Liou Zhen said was exactly what Liou Yuan had in mind.

If not for the approaching Chaotic Scene, he would certainly retreat and ponder all the magic he had cultivated.

Now, he could only wait until after the Chaotic Scene to retreat again.

Liou Zhen initially wanted to offer more advice regarding the Chaotic Scene.

Just as he opened his mouth to speak,

"Wan Dongling of the Yanluo Sect and Outer Sect disciple Lin Qianyin visiting Mr. Liou Yuan,"

A gentle voice resonated from outside Liou Yuan’s cave dwelling.

Upon hearing the voice, Liou Yuan immediately determined that the visitor was in Foundation Establishment.

Because the array he set up was like nothing in her presence, soundlessly bypassing the obstruction of two major arrays.

Liou Yuan did not know Wan Dongling, but he knew Lin Qianyin.

Upon hearing Lin Qianyin’s name, his expression suddenly turned peculiar.

"Why did she come to the Five Extremes Mountain!"

He instinctively glanced at his elder brother.

He found his usually composed and emotionless elder brother frowning slightly,

"I’ll come for you tomorrow." Then Liou Zhen left with these words, not waiting for Liou Yuan to respond, his figure directly darted out through the opening at the top of Liou Yuan’s cave dwelling.

The gesture left Liou Yuan feeling dumbfounded.

He got the feeling that his elder brother seemed to be fleeing.

Before he could think about it further,

"Mr. Liou is here too." The gentle as water voice again echoed from outside the cave dwelling, and then sounds of True Essence rolling in the air indicated that Wan Dongling seemed to have pursued Liou Zhen.

"Why is Mr. Liou running at the sight of someone?"

"Could this person be my brother’s adversary?" Liou Yuan frowned.

"To make my brother retreat in such a manner, what is Wan Dongling’s origin, is she also at the Peak of Foundation Establishment?"

Thinking this over, Liou Yuan opened the cave dwelling door.

The outer world had already lost sight of Liou Zhen and Wan Dongling.

Only Gong Linqing was left standing respectfully outside the door, along with the silhouette of a female cultivator with a black iron long sword on her back, her black hair tied with a white jade hairpin.

Gong Linqing was obviously stunned by the successive appearances of those in Foundation Establishment, standing outside the door with uncertainty in his expression.

Only when Liou Yuan stepped out did he regain his senses and greeted him.

Liou Yuan nodded in acknowledgment, his eyes already meeting those of the female cultivator standing in front of the door.

This person was precisely Lin Qianyin, a female sword cultivator of the Yanluo Sect, whom he had interacted with at Nether Abyss Peak.

However, since he had acted imprudently at the time, Liou Yuan distinctly remembered it.

He could only pretend to be meeting Lin Qianyin for the first time, politely clasping his hands and saying: "I’ve long heard of the title of First of the Smoke Veil Sect’s Outer Sword Dao, today I finally meet Miss Sister Lin in person."
