Chapter 1918: Chapter 1921: Lihen Heaven, Yue Wuheng
"Why do you want to meet me?"
Mr. Yue, upon seeing Chu Fengmian’s arrival, didn’t seem surprised and casually watched Chu Fengmian for a moment before speaking.
"Now that you’re here, there’s no need to hide. You’re not Hai Shisi. Who are you?"
As Mr. Yue spoke, his gaze scanned Chu Fengmian as if to see through all his secrets.
Under this look, even a half-step Heavenly Human Realm expert’s secrets would be revealed.
However, Chu Fengmian was indifferent, allowing Mr. Yue to probe without revealing a single secret.
"Interesting. I can see you’re just a Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor, yet you can evade my gaze. It’s surprising there’s someone like you in the Canghai Star Domain."
Mr. Yue observed Chu Fengmian thoroughly yet couldn’t discern any secret, which surprised him and prompted his admiration.
"Let me tell you who I am first. I am Yue Wuheng, from Lihentian."
Mr. Yue looked at Chu Fengmian and introduced himself.
Yue Wuheng, a name Chu Fengmian hadn’t heard before, but his next words from Lihentian piqued attention.
Lihentian is one of the three major sacred domains now.
Jiuhuatian, Lihentian, and Jingmotian, the current three major sacred domains, apex of millions of star domains, revered as sacred domains.
This Yue Wuheng comes from one of the sacred domains, Lihentian—no wonder his strength is so transcendent.
Only a sacred domain can produce such a demon.
Yue Wuheng’s self-introduction led Chu Fengmian to abandon hiding, realizing Yue Wuheng saw from the start that he wasn’t Hai Shisi.
"My name is Chu Fengmian, from Canglong Star Domain."
Chu Fengmian spoke casually, while a jade talisman appeared in his palm.
This jade talisman was engraved with the words ’Dragon Master,’ a symbol of identity given by the Mad Dragon Emperor when Chu Fengmian left Canglong Sect.
Chu Fengmian’s origin from Nine Domains was best kept secret; this jade talisman could adequately prove his identity.
"Canglong Star Domain?"
Yue Wuheng frowned; he assumed a genius of Chu Fengmian’s caliber would come from a sacred domain like him.
But Chu Fengmian is from Canglong Star Domain?
Canglong Star Domain is inferior even to Canghai Star Domain, merely a tertiary continent.
Yet, upon seeing the jade talisman in Chu Fengmian’s hand, Yue Wuheng was deeply shocked, scrutinizing it closely to verify its authenticity.
"Dragon Master Order? You’re the Dragon Master of Canglong Sect?"
Yue Wuheng’s voice revealed shock.
"It seems this Dragon Master identity has its uses."
Chu Fengmian, seeing Yue Wuheng’s surprise, thought inwardly.
Luckily, he accepted the Dragon Master Order back then, which now conveniently shields his identity.
"The old dragon of Canglong Sect made you Dragon Master; it seems you’re quite extraordinary."
Yue Wuheng glanced at Chu Fengmian with newfound respect.
Yue Wuheng initially viewed Chu Fengmian as a mere child.
Martial artists from sacred domains inherently carry pride; Chu Fengmian had seen this in a few young people from Jiuhuatian.
The initial impression from Yue Wuheng was similar.
But upon realizing Chu Fengmian’s identity as Dragon Master, Yue Wuheng’s disdain vanished.
Chu Fengmian was secretly surprised.
The Dragon Master identity has a secret worth revealing, but Chu Fengmian wouldn’t bother now; he’d ask the Mad Dragon Emperor when they meet again for clarity.
"Since you’re Canglong Sect’s Dragon Master, I’ll call you ’Friend’ then."
Yue Wuheng looked at Chu Fengmian, changing the topic.
"Friend seems intent on going to Sea Sword Sect with some plans?"
"Indeed."
Chu Fengmian nodded.
His disguise as Hai Shisi had a purpose; Yue Wuheng, aware of Chu Fengmian’s guise, knew he’d head to Sea Sword Sect with intentions.
"Friend’s guise as Hai Shisi, even I could hardly see through, but your disguise has an obvious flaw unknown to you."
Yue Wuheng spoke.
"You mean Gu Hai Opportunity?"
Chu Fengmian frowned.
Chu Fengmian originally concocted Hai Shisi’s rise in power by claiming he gained an opportunity from Gu Hai.
This helped explain the sudden surge in Hai Shisi’s capabilities.
Yet Yue Wuheng saw through Chu Fengmian, pinpointing the flaw in the Gu Hai Opportunity tale.
Hai Shisi hadn’t genuinely entered Gu Hai; his knowledge came from others’ conversations and records in Sea Sword Sect.
Chu Fengmian thought the explanation seamless, but Yue Wuheng’s insight proved otherwise, confirming Chu Fengmian’s tale wasn’t airtight.
"Correct, those who entered Gu Hai possess an aura, which you lack. Though typically unnoticed by half-step Heavenly Human Realms, those knowledgeable of Gu Hai recognize instantly."
Yue Wuheng advised Chu Fengmian.
"In Sea Sword Sect, few entered Gu Hai, but some old-timers ventured when young. You’d face scrutiny from them."
"Gu Hai’s aura?"
Chu Fengmian frowned, unaware of this detail.
If he knew earlier, he might have woven a different narrative, but the Gu Hai Opportunity tale already spread throughout Sea Sword Sect.
Flexibly changing it now would be challenging.
"I have a solution to help you cover this."
Yue Wuheng said with a smile, observing Chu Fengmian’s expression.
Chu Fengmian raised his head sharply, staring at Yue Wuheng with a hostile gaze.
Yue Wuheng wouldn’t aid Chu Fengmian for no reason.
Chu Fengmian doubted Yue Wuheng came to act benevolently.
"What do you want?"
Chu Fengmian stared, coldly inquiring after some time.
