CHAPTER 750: CHAPTER 617: HE MIGHT BE IN TROUBLE

"If that’s the case, I’m afraid it will have to wait until after the World’s First Refining has concluded. Die Mei, you have also worked hard during this period. I’m afraid I can’t attempt the Third Layer of Heaven and Earth Tribulation for the time being. But rest assured, as long as I forge the Nine Dragon Chant, I will definitely help you fulfill your wish," Ye Lingyue promised solemnly.

"Master, the World’s First Refining you mentioned, is it the one organised by the Sifang City Lord?" Die Mei’s eyes lit up suddenly upon hearing Ye Lingyue’s words.

"You know about the Sifang City Lord?" Ye Lingyue asked, somewhat surprised.

Die Mei was not from the Qing Province Continent but unexpectedly, she had heard of the name of the Sifang City Lord.

"After being captured by the Earth Evil Lord, I served him for over a decade. Once, I overheard him talking with other Earth Evil Great Monarchs while they drank and made merry, mentioning this person. He said that this person is very formidable, such that even the Earth Evil King has to give him some respect. I think, Master, if you really want to kill the Earth Evil King, perhaps the Sifang City Lord could offer you some help."

Ye Lingyue understood but she had only just qualified for the final selection. Whether she could actually meet the Sifang City Lord was still uncertain.

Calculating the time, the opening day of the Four Directions Ferry was just over ten days away.

Ye Lingyue informed Die Mei that she would no longer be entering the Earth Evil Prison during this period.

She also cautioned Die Mei that during her absence, she must absolutely avoid any conflicts with the Earth Evil King or even the higher-ranking Earth Evil Great Monarchs. Die Mei would do well to strictly train the Earth Evil Soldiers of the Earth Evil Prison, and they would make long-term plans when she returned from Sifang City.

After spending over half a month honing her skills in the Earth Evil Prison, not only had Ye Lingyue broken through the Second Layer of Heaven and Earth Tribulation, but Little Zhiyo and Little Wuya, even Little Qiu Tian had gained considerable benefits.

Especially Little Qiu Tian, because it had absorbed a significant amount of Evil Qi, the Cannibal Flower had grown taller than Ye Lingyue.

Ye Lingyue withdrew her Divine Sense and returned to the City Lord’s Mansion.

Since Feng Xun’s departure, she had been cultivating in the Earth Evil Prison day and night, and sixteen days had passed in the blink of an eye.

During these sixteen days, Ye Lingyue used cultivation to numb herself so as not to think about Feng Xun.

But once she finished her cultivation, she realized that sixteen days’ worth of longing, like a breached flood, overwhelmed her, making it hard to breathe.

She began to wildly speculate whether Feng Xun’s body could withstand the long journey.

Whether his Cold Syndrome would flare up on the way.

Feng Xun had clearly said that he would return in at most half a month.

Yet half a month had already passed, and Ye Lingyue paced anxiously around the room.

Perhaps, it was time to ask Yan Jiu.

Unintentionally, she walked to the courtyard where Lan Cai’er and Yan Jiu lived, but Ye Lingyue hesitated and stopped in her tracks.

It was already late at night, the time when Yan Jiu and Lan Cai’er should have already been resting. She decided to come back the next day.

But just as Ye Lingyue was about to leave.

She heard an argument.

"Cai’er, don’t stop me, today is already the sixteenth day. Feng San has always been a man of his word, him not being back by now, I’m afraid something has happened. I must go to Dragon Roaming Land to find him."

That was Yan Jiu’s voice.

"Yan Jiu, you bastard, I won’t let you go. That’s Dragon Roaming Land, one of the most dangerous places on the mainland, I... I have already lost my parents, I can’t lose you too."

Lan Cai’er, usually so carefree, was now crying in distress.

Ye Lingyue’s heart tightened.

Dragon Roaming Land?

This place, Ye Lingyue had heard of before.

She remembered that when she first became the adopted daughter of the Lan Residence, Lan Cai’er, fearing that she would feel uncomfortable, would often burrow into her bed in the middle of the night to chat with her.

At that time, Lan Cai’er had mentioned the Dragon Roaming Land.

Ye Lingyue still recalls Lan Cai’er, huddled under the quilt, her pretty face full of longing.

"Ling Yue, it’s said that the Yunmeng Swamp is the habitat of the Divine Bird Phoenix, but compared to the Dragon Roaming Land, it’s just Little Witch meeting the Great Witch. I heard that the most dangerous place where god-level beasts roam on the mainland is Dragon Roaming. It is said that there, even powerhouses of the Divine Power Realm might not be able to make it out alive. If I could explore the Dragon Roaming Land once in my lifetime, I would die without regrets."

Lan Cai’er’s words still echo in her ears.

Ye Lingyue shuddered.

Why would Feng Xun go to the Dragon Roaming Land? Wasn’t he supposed to have gone to Yan City No.9?

Ye Lingyue felt a chill all over.

The conversations from the courtyard drifted over intermittently.

"Cai’er, don’t be reckless. I’m just going to find someone, not courting death. Besides, Feng San is my good brother, and your future brother-in-law. If something happened to him, Ling Yue would definitely be distressed."

"I know... but I just worry about you. Didn’t you say that Wu Zhong is Feng San’s Shadow Guard and that he is much stronger than you? If he couldn’t protect Feng San, wouldn’t you be going to your death?" As Lan Cai’er spoke, she felt a wave of shame.

Wu Zhong also went?

Ye Lingyue felt stuffy in her heart, indescribable feelings welling up.

"Hey, Lan Cai’er, I’m your man; do you have to belittle your own man and praise another? Wu Zhong and Feng Xun... Ah, anyway, this matter is complicated. I must go." Yan Jiu felt a headache coming on.

He had also seen that Ye Lingyue was still in closed cultivation, so he took the opportunity to find Feng Xun before she was aware.

If Ye Lingyue knew about it, the situation would only get more complicated.

"You men, it’s always your fault. Hiding from Ling Yue to seek Ancient Dragon Blood. Fine, go if you must. In your eyes, brothers are like limbs, and women are like clothes. Well, this piece of clothing will just cool off by itself, whether I’m dead or alive, no one cares." Lan Cai’er muttered, knowing she couldn’t stop Yan Jiu; she just didn’t want him to leave in the middle of the night.

At least, he should wait until the day after the sunrise to leave.

Yan Jiu knew Lan Cai’er was speaking out of anger. He stroked her belly and was about to coax her when he suddenly heard a "whoosh" and his eyes sharpened.

His figure vanished, catching something that had broken in.

A closer look, his face changed immediately.

"It’s Ling Yue’s Star Saliva Dagger, not good, she might have ended her seclusion early and just happened to hear our conversation." Lan Cai’er wanted to slap herself for murmuring so many complaints earlier.

On the Star Saliva Dagger, there was a piece of paper with fresh ink.

"Brother Yan, take good care of Sister Cai’er. I’m going to find Feng Xun. If I do not return after half a month, please send Long Baobao to Sifang City, and make sure he is well taken care of. Your sister: Ye Lingyue."

Seeing the note, Lan Cai’er was so anxious she cried.

"Yan Jiu, you must chase after Ling Yue! How could she go to the Dragon Roaming Land alone?"

Yan Jiu immediately left the city, but Ye Lingyue, aided by the Phoenix Feather, had already vanished without a trace.

Remembering Ye Lingyue’s instructions in the note, Yan Jiu could only return to the City Lord’s Mansion, frustrated.
