Chapter Ninety-Five: True and False, Azure Falls into the Yellow Springs

  "Cough...cough..."

  Xia Lin awkwardly smiled, inwardly cursing without end. This little guy is usually quite clever, what's he trying to do today? At this time, he clearly didn't know that Ke Le's series of actions all stemmed from his lewd and evil smile.

  After scolding, Xia Lin hastily shouted at the nearby cola: "What are you looking at? Don't untie Dongfang Gongzi?"

  Coca-Cola suddenly felt a thud in her heart, oh no, she's misunderstood.

  Thinking of this, he rushed forward and quickly untied Dongfang Xuan, then took a look at the village chief whose face was not improving, and hurriedly ran away with a burst of laughter.

  "Master, I'm guarding the gate today and it's an urgent task, so I'll withdraw first."

  "Depend on... this guy."

  Xia Lin rolled her eyes and had no one to vent to, so she could only look at Dongfang Xuan with a gloomy face.

  He picked up a teacup from the table and handed it over, "Cough, Dongfang Xuan, try some tea, top-grade Bi Luo Chun..."

  Dongfang Xuan lowered his head and took a glance, saying in a gloomy tone: "This is Tieguanyin."

  "Oh." Xia Lin awkwardly put the cup on the table, then dryly laughed: "That, Dongfang brother, you see... I just heard this morning that you left the mountain village, and my heart ached unbearably. Such a close friend actually left like that, and I didn't even get to send you off properly. So I immediately had my disciples hurry to invite you back, planning to give you a proper sendoff."

  "Is this how you invite someone?"

  "Unexpected... there seems to have been a mistake in conveying the orders..."

  Dongfang Xuan sank into thought for a moment, then his expression turned serious: "Xia brother, I understand what you mean. However, as Dongfang Xuan now has nothing to pursue in life and no attachments, it's quite interesting to study the secrets of the world. Since I was rescued by you, I've stayed here for over a month to repay your kindness. Now that the kindness has been repaid, but Xia brother is still my friend, if you truly care about me, then let me leave."

  Dongfang Xuan spoke extremely sincerely, but it made Xia Lin let out a sigh.

  Dongfang Xuan has said it all, what else can he retain? Dongfang Xuan's meaning is clear, this life of mine will be just this much love, if even this little bit cannot be satisfied, then what's the point of living? So, hurry up and let me go, there are countless ancient secrets waiting for me to investigate.

  "In that case, please take good care of yourself, Brother Dongfang. If there's anything you need, just return to Hei Feng Fortress. As long as it can be done, I will not decline!" Xia Lin also wasn't someone who didn't understand the situation, and he cupped his hands in respect as he spoke.

  Dongfang Xuan let out a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Xia Lin would insist on keeping him behind, making things very awkward.

  The same words were also given to Xia Ge, if there is a request, I will not decline! Dongfang Xuan bowed his hands in thanks, picked up the package and bid farewell before preparing to leave.

  Xia Lin watched as he walked away and sighed, "Bai Luo Huang Quan is about to appear, now there's no one left to communicate with, what a pity."

  "Crack!"

  Dongfang Xuan's figure, which had been walking to the door, suddenly stiffened and turned around woodenly: "The Bi Luo Huang Quan that Brother Xia mentioned... could it be the Bi Luo Huang Quan, one of the Ten Great Anomalous Realms?"

  "Huh? Did you hear that?" Xia Lin said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, Brother Dongfang can leave in peace, I won't bother him."

  Dongfang Xuan was momentarily stunned, suspended there, unable to move forward or stay.

  He said he would stay, but just now he insisted on leaving and even left a heartfelt farewell message. Now that he's staying, how can his emotions bear it? How can his emotions bear it?

  But let's talk about it, think about what Xia Lin said earlier, the Azure Falls and the Yellow Spring, that's one of the top ten ancient wonders! This is an extraordinary secret, thinking about the legendary Azure Falls, that magnificent wonderland, those legendary stories, he couldn't move his feet no matter what.

  Having heard Xia Lin's words, he was even more heartbroken and silently roared in his heart, I don't want to leave with a peace of mind, why don't you try to retain me, retain me!

  It turns out that Xia Lin is not yet capable of receiving brain waves, otherwise he would have definitely received the intense and infuriating brain waves bursting from Dongfang Xuan's mind, which pierced through the sky with resentment.

  Xia Lin gazed at Dongfang Xuan with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, worried that if he struggled for too long, he'd end up dangling there like a human pendulum. In the end, she spoke up and kept him from leaving: "The Azure Abyss and Yellow Springs are about to manifest in the mortal realm, and Heifeng Fortress is facing a crisis - please, Brother Dongfang, stay behind and offer your guidance."

  Dongfang Xuan hastily returned to the small courtyard, quickly putting down his bundle. This was not the time to be pretentious. If Xia Lin were to come and push him again, he would be embarrassed once more. At this point, he deeply understood that Xia Lin, this village master, must have been extremely sinister.

  Although I don't know what kind of moral integrity and bottom line occasionally come out of Xia Lin's mouth, Dongfang Xuan can be sure that Xia Lin's two things must be unfathomable...

  After sitting down, Dongfang Xuan asked with some confusion: "Facing a crisis? What does that mean?"

  Xia Lin slightly shook her head and told everything about Jiang's family plan and the things that happened at Bi Luo Huang Quan.

  "Wait a minute - are you saying that Bi Luo Huang Quan has appeared nearby, and the Jiang family is trying to block the news of his appearance?" Dong Fang Xuan said incredulously.

  "Really?" Xia Lin looked at him doubtfully, "What's strange about it."

  "What's going on, heavens!" Dongfang Xuan exclaimed in a somewhat collapsing tone, "Do you know what Biliu Huangquan is? One of the top ten ancient wonders! Hidden from the world for many years without appearing, once it descends, it must be earth-shattering and full of omens. Not to mention Linjiang City, the entire Divine State Continent can see the changes here!"

  Xia Lin was shocked and stunned by the words, the heavens shook, strange phenomena emerged, and it even caused changes in the celestial bodies. The Ten Great Wonders, of course, were so mysterious?

  "It's not just that, the top ten wonders may not be as treacherous as the eight forbidden lands, but it's clear that those places are not something that ordinary warriors can enter. Without reaching the level of a grandmaster, how can one possibly go in? Generally speaking, one person goes in and one person dies, or one pair goes in and one pair dies." Dongfang Xuan said this while looking at Xia Lin, his expression clearly showing surprise at Xia Lin's ignorance.

  "......" Xia Lin suppressed the urge to slap him and asked, "What does the Jiang family mean? Have they already had a powerful master in the Divine Realm?"

  Dongfang Xuan slightly shook his head: "It's unlikely, the Jiang family took many years to produce a single Return to Origin realm cultivator. Even if you give him several hundred more years, it's still impossible for him to become a Sect Master. I think the Jiang family's large-scale action this time is most likely because...the relic that appeared this time is not from Biliu Huangquan!"

  "It's not... can't say it's not, to be precise, there should be a 90% chance, what appeared this time is just a branch of the Bi Luo Huang Quan." Dong Fang Xuan added.

  "Tributary?" Xia Lin was taken aback.

  "Ah, the Azure Descent into the Yellow Springs, said to be the path leading to the ancient ghost realm of the Yellow Springs. The road was fraught with danger and filled with murderous intent. Later, the ancient ghost realm vanished from the world, but the Azure Descent into the Yellow Springs remained, without its terrifying dangers and killing intent, becoming one of the Ten Great Wonders."

  "What's this Yellow Spring Road?" Xia Lin was taken aback and muttered to himself, "Damn it, I hope there isn't a Naihe Bridge and Meng Po Soup too."

  "What?" Dongfang Xuan was taken aback, clearly not having heard what he said.

  "Cough cough, it's nothing, you continue." Xia Lin waved his hand indifferently.

  "The Azure Falls and the Yellow Springs form a mystical road composed of spring water, with countless tributaries branching off naturally. Over the years, although the Azure Falls and the Yellow Springs have been elusive, these tributaries would occasionally appear. Each of the Yellow Springs' tributaries is comparable to an ancient ruin, containing numerous treasures within."

  "So that's how it is." Xia Lin suddenly realized, "In that case, the target of the Jiang family this time is just a tributary of Huangquan. They probably don't even know themselves that what they are guarding is not the real Biliu Huangquan, but only a tributary."

  "That's natural." Dongfang Xuan said proudly, "In order to investigate the news of Bi Luo Huang Quan, I spent several months reading tens of thousands of books at the beginning, especially those that the Jiang family can know?"

  "Tens of thousands of books?" Xia Lin's timely expression showed confusion, a book would take at least a day to read, could it be that this guy started reading from the womb?

  It seems like Dongfang Xuan knew what Xia Lin was thinking, so he gave him a disdainful look and pointed to his own head, "This young master has a photographic memory, it's a world of genius, you just don't understand."

  Xia Lin suddenly rolled her eyes.

  "Although this time it's just a branch, since it's equivalent to an ancient ruin, I'm sure the treasures inside are not few in number. The Jiang family will not give up! As the first family of Linjiang City, he won't allow others to touch these treasures either, so the crisis for Heifeng Village is still unresolved." Xia Lin analyzed somewhat gloomily.

  "What's there to fear? Your plan isn't bad at all. Now that the Black Wind Fortress is unified, the Jiang family can't do anything to you." Dongfang Xuan said calmly.

  Xia Lin slightly shook her head: "Although it's said so, I still feel that it's not quite reliable. Plans are ultimately just plans, and there is no absolute power; any plan will be greatly discounted. The Jiang family has not made a move yet, and it's unknown whether the location of Bi Luo Huang Quan will eventually be near Hei Feng Zhai."

  Dongfang Xuan thought for a moment and said: "Perhaps... you can try cooperating."

  "Cooperation?"

  "Yes, after the Jiang family makes their move, use the strength of the five major factions to counter them and make the Jiang family feel threatened by your power! Then, cooperate with them again and enter the Huangquan Branch together." Dongfang Xuan suggested.

  "Maybe we can try," Xia Lin said in a low voice, his eyes gazing into the distance.

  He is no longer alone, as the leader of Black Wind Fortress, he needs to take responsibility for Black Wind Fortress, his disciples and those he protects.

  I won't be outdone by the Jiang family!

  "Snap!"

  Two people were chatting when the Coke that had just slipped away suddenly ran back, with a serious expression on his face, and said something that made everyone's faces change greatly.

  "Master! The Jiang family... has made its move!"
