Chapter 391 Ch 391: Xuan Yun's Shock
Ling Xiaolong could be seen walking slowly, his destination unknown.
It had been two days since he left the Divine Monarch Sect.
Not long after he sent away Feng Hanli and Lu Tianming, the Sect Leader of the Divine Monarch Sect personally visited him and provided him with the Saint Spirit Fruit he had come for.
They appeared to be in a hurry to see Ling Xiaolong off, perhaps this prompted them to take out the precious fruit without much hesitation.
When Ling Xiaolong first arrived at this sect, he truly desired this fruit, as it held great potential to aid him. However, now, the value of this precious fruit was cut short in his eyes.
Anyway, he doesn't want it for free. So he took out a small dark sphere. This was actually created from his bloodline ability, the Calamitic Shroud. Inside were sealed three strands of Comprehensive Energy.
Previously, Ling Xiaolong had extracted a few strands of Comprehensive Energy for his personal use. He had used up many and was left with only two strands.
He gave the sphere to the Sect Leader and told him to pass it to the Lord Celestial Emperor, for it could prove to be a great help in Lord Celestial Emperor's breakthrough.
To be honest, Ling Xiaolong made a loss with this exchange. But he did not care. He has an ocean of Comprehensive Energy inside his Comprehensive Origin Sea, so losing two strands didn't really matter.
All Ling Xiaolong did was give the Sect Leader this treasure and convey that it could assist Lord Celestial Emperor in his next breakthrough. Whether or not the Sect Leader believed him and chose to present this treasure to Lord Celestial Emperor had nothing to do with him.
He simply left the Divine Monarch Sect.
After two days, he arrived at a big city in the Central Region named Yellow Dusk City.
Along the way, he heard many rumors. Every rumor covered the story of either the grand phenomenon, War God, and suppression of the entire Land or Pure Energy covering the Dark Forest Mountain Valley.
He still had no idea about the appearance of War God's phantom and the suppression of the entire Land.
However, he could make a guess that the appearance of pure energy in the Dark Forst Mountain Valley must be related to him.
When that overflowing energy attacked him, he couldn't withstand it. At that moment, the energy began emanating from his body through every pore. He surmised that the energy escaping from his body must be the pure energy enveloping the entire Dark Forest Mountain Valley that people were discussing.
Ling Xiaolong was on his way to the Dark Forest Mountain Valley. This place was hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Divine Monarch Sect.
Just like before, he could have directly teleported there, however, he chose to be more ordinary this time and took a caravan of twenty people whose destination was also the Dark Forest Mountain Valley. They were all attracted here by the rumored pure energy.
It has been two days now and they have reached the Yellow Dusk City. This city was just a hundred miles away from Eternal Mountain Range where the Dark Forest Mountain Valley was located.
Eternal Mountain Range is very famous in the Land of Luminous Essence, and it is said to be filled with all sorts of treasures.
Being near this mountain range, the Yellow Dusk City has grown to become very big and several huge forces took root here.
The caravan that Ling Xiaolong took dispersed immediately after arriving at the Yellow Dusk City. Now, he and others were on their own.
In the Caravan, Ling Xiaolong had befriended a man named Hou Fei. This person was very familiar with all the rumors. Along the way, he also spoke about several things about the phenomenon and pure energy.
When everyone separated, only Hou Fei and Ling Xiaolong remained together.
Hou Fei wanted to taste a delicacy before going to the Dark Forest Mountain Valley. Since he had befriended Ling Xiaolong, he asked if Ling Xiaolong would come to a restaurant with him.
After thinking for a while, Ling Xiaolong agreed.
However, when they went into the restaurant, they saw that the first floor was full.
"Let's go to the Second floor."
But as Ling Xiaolong and Hou Fei were about to climb up the stairs, the restaurant's waiter quickly rushed up to them to stop them from going to the second floor and politely explained,
"Guests, my apologies, but our second floor is reserved for nobles."
"Nobles?"
Both Ling Xiaolong and Hou Fei frowned.
Hou Fei then replied by throwing a Six-marked Luminous Essence Crystal to the waiter, saying, "This is a tip."
The restaurant servant blanked out for a moment staring at the six-marked Luminous Essence Crystal in his palm.
"This... Is this for me?" He still could not believe someone would give away such a precious crystal.
"Now, can we go up?" Nodding his head, Fei Hou asked indifferently.
"Sure, certainly!" replied the waiter as he regained his senses. With his face supporting a wide smile, he said, "This way, please!"
He then respectfully led Ling Xiaolong and Hou Fei to the second floor.
Although the second floor was said to be reserved for nobles, it was not necessarily true, for as long as the customer could pay, the second floor was open to them.
Evidently, Ling Xiaolong and Hou Fei were people with money. Thus, the restaurant waiter led them to a good seat close to the window.
After Ling Xiaolong and Hou Fei had sat down, the waiter asked politely with a smile plastered on his face, "Guests, what dishes would you like to order?"
"Bring us all the dishes that your restaurant is most famous for. Also, bring the three biggest jugs of your best wines!" Hou Fei said.
"All the famous dishes! Three biggest jugs of the best wine!" The restaurant waiter was stunned and his mouth agape.
If served properly, this would earn the restaurant a huge amount of money.
"Why are you still standing there?" asked Hou Fei after seeing that the restaurant waiter still was standing there.
When the restaurant waiter heard Hou Fei, he immediately came back to his senses. He hurriedly said, "Two guests, please rest assured. I will be very fast and quick in sending the dishes up!"
He hurried down while his hand wiped away the sweat on his forehead, not sure whether the sweat was due to fright or delight.
Soon, the dishes were sent up.
The table was laden with fragrant dishes, enticing the appetite.
"Guests, these three jugs of wines are our restaurant's best wine called Frozen Moon Wine, our restaurant's special brew." The said restaurant waiter respectfully.
"Frozen Moon Wine?" Hou Fei nodded and waved the restaurant waiter away, "Good, you can go."
"Yes, yes, please call me if there's anything you need." The waiter said and withdrew with a smile on his face.
The moment the waiter left, Ling Xiaolong and Hou Fei started their feast. The food served was indeed delicacies. After a while, they took a jug of wine and started drinking.
The instant the wine was swallowed, a refreshing icy cold feeling filled their mouths, full of the wine's fragrance.
While Ling Xiaolong and Hou Fei were enjoying themselves, someone was watching them closely.
Not far away from them, Xuan Yun could be seen looking at Ling Xiaolong with a shocked expression. It was as if he knew Ling Xiaolong and did not expect to see him here.
A few minutes ago, when the waiter led Ling Xiaolong and Hou Fei to the second floor, Xuan Yun was already enjoying his meal while listening to other people talking. He came to Dark Forest Mountain Valley yesterday to investigate the situation. The pure energy indeed shocked him, it was a pity that he could not enjoy absorbing the pure energy because his days on this land were numbered.
He has to leave soon.
So, after a day, he arrived at the nearby city, the Yellow Dusk City. In the evening, he was planning to go to the tomb left behind by the fallen Master of Chaos.
Before leaving this city, he wanted to enjoy himself here. It is just that he did not expect to see a familiar face here.
Xuan Yun was deeply shocked, and when he recovered, he began to closely observe Ling Xiaolong's every move, as if wanting to confirm that the person he was looking at was indeed Ling Xiaolong.
He was sure when Hou Fei called Ling Xiaolong by his name during their conversation.
Now that he was sure, his eyes flashed with light. He immediately took out a card. This card was made of a rare material. If observed intently, people could see the card filled with several small Divine Inscriptions.
Xuan Yun drew some patterns with his hand on the card and then spoke something in a low voice. Then he moved the card toward Ling Xiaolong.
After a few seconds, he once again started drawing something on the card.
In the end, the card flashed with light and 'woosh', disappeared.
