Chapter 185 - Yin, Qing, Yuan, Que

Moments later, Shui Zian’s slender stature appeared in front of Zhong Yue, his clothes were ragged and shabby, but his complexion was healthy as he strode into the templed in seemingly glowing spirits.

The sky darkened as the sun set, luminous lights were radiated out from the small temple.

“Shui Zian, this battle is sufficient for your name to infuse fear into the East Barren for another hundred years.”

Old Man Ying sighed and said, “But Xiao Demon God is horrifying, isn’t he? Don’t you want to stay put and recuperate from your injuries?”

Zhong Yue was shocked, “Elder Shui is wounded?”

“Not a big deal, that Xiao Demon God is really something, his skill broke through my array formation and wounded me.”

Shui Zian called Zhong Yue over, he clasped his hands and said, “This is not a safe place to linger around, stay any longer and the magnates will catch up to us. We need to return back to the Great Wilderness as fast as possible.”

“In that case, I’ve repaid my debts, you and I, we are now even!”

Old Man Ying turned frigid, he said, “One more thing, my little girl Ying Nu, she wants to copulate with your little human boy to ensure the continuation of our race. Shui Zian, can you lend me this young man for two hours?”

Ying Nu let out a short scream as her countenance blushed in red, and Zhong Yue’s face also turned red in shame. Old Man Ying sneered and said, “To be able to reverse open the five Yuan Shen realms, you must have a fine bloodline in you, a nice ingredient for making the next generation. Shui Zian, although you appear to ostensibly be fine, you’ve severely wounded Xiao Demon God and fought with eighteen priests, your wounds must not be minor either. Stay down and rest, it won’t take long, just two hours, I’ll take down any enemies that come for you in these two hours. You can rest at ease with me being here! After the Zhong Shan Clan member completes his business with Ying Nu, we will then walk our own paths!”

Zhong Yue was between laughter and tears, this Old Man Ying kept on unilaterally talking of mating, copulating and the continuation of his race, it was as if the old man has taken him to be a mating bull!

Moreover, it was really hard for Zhong Yue to have any feelings towards those of races other than his own, his heart would just be filled with awkwardness.

Shui Zian hesitated for a second, he gazed at Zhong Yue teasingly until Zhong Yue’s face turned completely crimson red, and mumbled, “Elder Shu….”

“Don’t worry, I won’t sell you off. However, if I were to, you can be rest assured that I’d make sure to get a good price out of it.” Shui Zian said smilingly, then took a step forward and whispered to Old Man Ying by his ears; the old man nodded animatedly and relaxed his wrinkled face.

Zhong Yue and Ying Nu quickly tried to eavesdrop on the conversation but they could not hear a single voice. Clearly, the two experts had manipulated the air particles around them to prevent the contents of their conversation spreading out.

“Well then, you may leave now.”

Old Man Ying’s face returned back to normal, he said while smirking, “I shall not entangle you two any longer. But, don’t forget what you’ve promised me today, if your words aren’t kept, I’ll personally bring Ying Nu over!”

“Don’t worry, don’t worry.”

Shui Zian laughed and said, “Zhong Shan Clan member, let’s go, we’ll travel under the cover of the night!”

Zhong Yue followed him out the back of the temple. He was puzzled and after a few hundred miles of traveling, he could not hold back anymore and asked, “Elder Shui, what did you talk to Elder Ying about?”

Shui Zian answered in a warm bright smile, “I told him that we were in a hurry to leave, the longer we stayed the more danger we would be in. If the celestials were to besiege the temple and evoke the godly spirits from the other celestial temples, the Ying Zhao celestial temple alone is incapable of holding them off. But the old brat insisted you stay for the sake of the continuation of his race such that it would eventually cause him to fall out with me if I was adamant in my refusal. The one I’m afraid of is not him, but the godly spirit of the Ying Zhao race which was worshipped in this little temple. Hence, I’ve made him a promise to find him a better one in exchange for you, another male who has a higher bloodline than the humans, a deal which he was clearly satisfied with as you were able to see before.”

Zhong Yue heaved a breath and said in relief, “I see, so long as I’m not involved.”

“I told him, there is a city near the Great Wilderness, a city that goes by the name of Gu Xia; and right there, there is a dragon lord called Long Yue. One day in the future, I’ll kidnap that Long Yue and send over to him to fulfill my promise.”

Shui Zian smirked and said, “Old Man Ying has also heard of this young dragon named Long Yue before. He has the blood of the Xiang Dragon flowing in his body. In terms of lineage, he is no inferior to the Ying Zhao Celestial Race. Moreover, he would be a son-in-law that was kidnapped over to them, meaning that they would be able to keep him, much better than you only staying for two hours. Hence, the old fogie was more than happy to accept the deal. You see? This way, you wouldn’t be involved at all.”

“Ah?”

Zhong Yue was stunned, whether if it was Zhong Yue or Long Yue, they were both himself. And when Shui Zian said that he would kidnap ‘Long Yue’ and send over to Old Man Ying, wouldn't that be the same as sending him over?

He could not help but think that this elder from the Shui Tu Clan was doing this intentionally, he knew that Zhong Yue and Long Yue were both the same person and hence, he had deliberately made such a promise.

“Hehe, Long Yue and Zhong Yue, both of your names have a Yue, and the world knows the two of you as the Twin Yue. Also, some time before this, there was a Xiao Dragon appearing around the Shui Tu Clan in Great Wilderness, it was so naughty, ramming on my Shui Tu Clan’s water stronghold quite a few times.”

Shui Zian said intentionally or otherwise, “Kidnapping him and sending him over to the Ying Zhao Celestial Race as their son-in-law, I’m being too kind to him….”

A chill was sent down Zhong Yue’s spin, he thought to himself, Could it be that … he has found out that I’m Long Yue and Long Yue is me?

Shui Zian then smiled, “I’m a very narrow-minded person, that little Xiao Dragon would most probably be Long Yue; and so, I’ll capture him and send him to all the other celestial races to mate with. Not only the Ying Zhao, but also the Gui Shen, Shan Shen … Disciple of the Zhong Shan Clan, you don’t look too well.”

“I’m fine … it’s nothing, I’m just a little bit worried of Elder Shui’s safety after seeing you battling with so many experts.” Zhong Yue said insincerely.

“I see, for a moment there, I thought that you were sympathizing for that Long Yue.”

Shui Zian laughed out loud and strode away while Zhong Yue flared his wings out to follow behind. This Shui Tu Clan elder had grown to become even more of an enigma in his eyes now than ever. Clearly, the elder had inferred that Zhong Yue was actually Long Yue from the bits and pieces of clues he had left behind.

After all, Shui Zian was the first human to ever face squarely with him when he was assimilated into the form of a Xiang Dragon. And when Zhong Yue was in the form of Xiang Dragon, he had clashed with the Shui Tu Clan quite a few times. Surely enough, Shui Zian would investigate into the matters and eventually found out traces he had left behind.

At that point of time, Zhong Yue had cast the skills of the Xiang Dragon. With Shui Zian’s sagacity, he would surely be able to deduce much from the small clues he left behind in his inexperience,

“Hehe, this Long Yue is really lucky; there are over two to three thousand celestial races in the East Barren, with most of them most likely very curious as to how their descendants would look like after copulating with the dragon race.”

Shui Zian mumbled and said, “This brat is able to have sex all over the East Barren, don’t you think he is very lucky?”

Another chill was sent down his spine and Zhong Yue quickly diverted the topic, “Elder Shui, how is your injuries?”

“Not so good.”

Shui Zian held his hands together under the sleeves as he was striding in the winds, he answered smilingly, “It wouldn’t be a big deal to kill Xiao Demon God if he came alone, but with the other eighteen strong and formidable priests around him, I’ve taken a few blows from his skills. Luckily, Xiao Demon God was the strongest among our pursuers, there aren’t any magnates besides him, or otherwise, we’d be in a very dangerous … Shit!”

Shui Zian’ complexion turned dark drastically, he stopped abruptly and cast his gaze on the moon. The night was getting dark and cold, while a crescent moon was dangling in the sky, although it was not a full moon, but it was bright and shiny.

Zhong Yue followed his gaze and looked over, but there was nothing in the dark sky other than the crescent moon and a few stars; he was puzzled, not knowing what Shui Zian was saying.

The elder inhaled a deep breath of air, his face was contorted as he spoke, “Today is the 16th, and it’s a crescent moon that is dangling in the sky, don’t you think that this is very bad?”

Zhong Yue startled, then immediately realize it, “The moon, it’s not true, it’s either a skill or a soul weapon!”

“Seems like you aren’t too dumb! We must move now!”

A river of water emerged beneath the elder’s feet, he then suppressed his aura and pressed Zhong Yue onto the river. The river then streamed forward past above of the mountains at a great speed!

“Ying, Qing, Yuan, Que, the four magnates that cordoned the Xiao Mang Celestial Race in the temples of all four directions — Xiao Ying, Xiao Qing, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Que!”

Shui Zian rode on the river and bolted away quickly, his voice was grave and solemn, “I thought that Xiao Que has went after Senior Martial Brother Feng Shouzhu, who knew this brat is here for you! This is bad, Xiao Que’s prowess is on par with Xiao Demon God … time is running out, Xiao Que has caught up to us, you should go first!”

As he finished talking, the river continued on carrying Zhong Yue away into the endless woods in the mountains beneath them, while he himself stopped down.

A few thousand miles away from here, there were a number of temples glowing luminously.

“This destination of this river is a place with three skyscraping willow trees, they were enormously huge, you’ll be able to easily identify them right away with a glance when you’ve arrived.”

Shui Zian’s voice sounded into his ears from afar, “In the middle of the three skyscraping willow trees, there is a small celestial temple of a hundred and eighty feet in radius, it has only one door. Go forward and knock on the door, say nothing and hand over this token when the door opens, there will be a strange hand that grabs onto you, place the token into the hand and your life will be spared.”

The river water rippled and a token appeared in Zhong Yue’s hand, he took the chance to look at it, the words on the token were crooked as if they were tadpoles, while on the back of the token was carved with totem carvings forming into the patterns of the three willow trees.

“Remember my words carefully, when the strange hand holds onto the token, there will be voices from the temple inviting you to go in. Right at this time, you must keep your mouth shut, zip it and never speak a word, and don’t go in either. Stay outside of the temple, and stay awake, or otherwise, you’d be dead before you know it! In my absence, you will enter the temple immediately when the sun rises and leave at once when the night falls….”

Shui Zian’s voice was fading away, soon, it was out of earshot.

Zhong Yue was puzzled, he mumbled softly to himself, “That little temple in the middle of the tree willow trees, is that one of Elder Shui’s friends? If they are friends, why did he say all those things, forbidding me from entering the temple at night? Enter at dawn and leave at dusk, what place is this?”

Not long later, there was immense throbbing coming from the back, these were let out from the impacts of the fight — Elder Shui Zian and Xiao Mang celestial magnate, Xiao Que, had finally begun their battle!

Not only that, Zhong Yue could still feel the horrifyingly strong auras following him at his tail, those would be the experts that tracked the hovering river in pursuit of him!

However, the river was too quick, even though these experts were on the level of Inner Core and Heavenly Dharma, they still could not catch up to him.

Nearly an hour had passed, and the river was getting slower, the water was vanishing into thin air and soon, there was only a plume of spindrift that carried him forward.

Then, he raised his head up to see the full moon, suggesting that he should now be out of the range of Xiao Que’s soul weapon.

Right in front of him, the tree ancient willow trees came into his vicinity, swaying peacefully along with the gentle breeze, the moonlight fell onto the leaves as they glittered like tiny stars against the curtain of the dark night. While in the middle of the willow trees, was the hundred and eighty feet radius little temple that Elder Shui Zian was talking about before.
