Chapter 710: Passing Through Ten Thousand Flowers
A golden light surged upward, and a primordial spirit flew out, transforming into a small Golden Crow, flapping its wings toward the sky.
Ye Fan’s right hand shot out, like an azure dragon soaring into the heavens, grabbing it in one motion. The golden primordial spirit struggled, then shattered on the spot, becoming a mist of smoke and dissipating into the air.
In the distant North Sea, within a vast black ocean, Lu Ya’s true body trembled slightly. His eyes shot out two sharp divine beams, gazing toward Lu Continent from afar.
“Who killed my incarnation?”
In the black ocean, waves churned, and all kinds of powerful ancient beasts roamed, far more dangerous than the land, not lacking ancient Heavenly Demon mutant species.
“Since the Great Emperor vanished, even the Divine Immortality Pill has become extinct. Now that the legendary sole Immortal Tree has shown signs, this matter is urgent. I’ll settle the karmic debts later!” Lu Ya’s true body flickered and vanished, disappearing into the depths of the North Sea in the blink of an eye.
At the Heavenly Wolf Howling Moon Platform, eighty-one golden battle flags fell from the sky, striking the ground with a clanging sound, sparks flying everywhere. Each one shone brilliantly.
Lu Ya’s incarnation was dead, torn apart by Ye Fan, but these precious flags were preserved intact, clearly divine objects. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have made five sect leaders spill their blood on the flags back then.
“The Golden Crow Clan’s golden precious flags!”
Many people’s eyes turned red on the spot, itching to rush over and seize them. In the past, Lu Ya had swept through all domains with these flags, unstoppable, and many in Lu Continent still trembled at the memory.
Each flag was embroidered with a Golden Crow, its colors resplendent and lifelike. Handed down from ancient times to the present without being destroyed, it fully demonstrated the flags’ extraordinary nature.
Yet now, though people’s hearts stirred, no one moved to take them. Because this was a hot potato—whoever got it would invite great disaster.
Not to mention the Ye Fan before them, whose strength was unfathomable, having already slain two Golden Crow princes. Just thinking about the future made people dare not act rashly. If the Golden Crow Clan came to demand justice, it would be a colossal trouble, likely dragging them into a mess.
On the severed platform, there was dead silence. People knew that the sky had been torn open this time. This young man named Ye Fan had stirred up a monstrous storm.
In this battle, two Golden Crow princes had been beheaded, and over a dozen Golden Crow experts had been shot dead by arrows one by one. This was a major earthquake that would trigger a massive uproar.
How domineering was the Golden Crow Clan? With the Ninth Prince slain, how could his elder brothers possibly let it go? People could already envision the chaos of nine Golden Crows emerging to throw the world into turmoil.
Moreover, what kind of person was the old Golden Crow of that clan? A ruthless character who, in his youth, dared to snatch the Divine Maiden of the Human King Hall. Now, his cultivation had reached unfathomable depths, and no one knew how terrifying he truly was.
“The Golden Crow Clan has experts like clouds. This is going to be a huge storm,” someone whispered.
“Ye Fan has killed the Golden Crow Ninth Prince. This is going to cause a big commotion. I wonder if he can withstand the Golden Crow Clan’s wrath.”
“He’s already killed two princes. The Golden Crow Clan will never let this go. I’m afraid the entire Lu Continent will be turned upside down.”
Ye Fan sat on the severed platform, calm and composed, as if nothing had happened. He picked up a wine glass and took a sip, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.
Beside him, Yan Yixi smiled lightly and said, “Brother Ye, you’ve caused quite a stir. The Golden Crow Clan won’t take this lying down.”
“If they come, they come. I’m not afraid,” Ye Fan replied indifferently.
“Bold words, but you’d better be careful. The Golden Crow Clan has deep roots. Even the Holy Lands dare not provoke them lightly,” Yan Yixi said.
“What about you, Brother Yan? You’re not exactly innocent with the Golden Crow Clan’s little princess,” Ye Fan said with a faint smile.
Yan Yixi’s expression stiffened slightly, then he chuckled, “Brother Ye, you flatter me. My relationship with the Golden Crow princess is purely innocent.”
“Innocent? Like snow that melts into muddy water at the first touch of fire? Go tell that to Lu Ya,” Ye Fan said.
Although they had just met, Ye Fan didn’t have a bad impression of him and spoke without restraint.
“Alas, in this world, those who appreciate beautiful things are always misunderstood. Is this the tragedy of the era, or my misfortune?” Yan Yixi sighed.
“There’s a kind of thief in this world, given the elegant title of flower thief. You two would surely appreciate each other and never lack a kindred spirit.”
“A true gentleman is naturally romantic but not lewd. Don’t lump me together with those lacking in skill,” Yan Yixi retorted seriously.
In the distance, many people showed strange expressions and whispered among themselves. Seeing these two sitting together surprised many.
“Brother Ye, did you come to Heavenly Wolf Mountain Villa for that page of the Divine Scripture?” Yan Yixi raised his glass and asked softly.
“What?” Ye Fan was startled.
“So you really just happened to be here,” Yan Yixi said in surprise, then muttered, “The Golden Crow Ninth Prince really had bad luck, running into you.”
“Divine Scripture… what’s going on?” Ye Fan pressed.
“It’s said that the Three Deficiencies Daoist will exchange half a page of scripture with the Human King Hall’s half page, to jointly comprehend the Great Dao.”
In the Nether Ridge, there was an ancient Daoist temple called Longevity, its heritage so ancient that its origins were untraceable. Throughout the ages, it had only a few members, but it was extremely powerful and no one dared provoke it.
Legend had it that they possessed half a page of an ancient scripture, extremely mysterious, containing supreme Dao principles. The Human King Hall also had half a page, and it was said the two could merge, holding the essence of immortality.
Immortality and eternal life—who didn’t desire it? But from ancient times to the present, who had achieved it? Even the ancient Great Emperors had to die. This mysterious scripture naturally drew everyone’s attention and was coveted by all.
If not for the Longevity Ancient Daoist Temple and the Human King Hall having existed since ancient times and being too terrifying, they would have been plundered long ago. Now that the fragments were about to merge, it naturally attracted worldwide attention.
“The deputy hall master of the Human King Hall is passing through here. Who knows how many eyes are watching?” Yan Yixi said.
“Could it really be half a page of an immortal scripture?!” Ye Fan stroked his chin and looked toward the Heavenly Wolf Ancient Tower.
“What do you think? Tempted, aren’t you? We can go take a look. I’m sure it will be quite lively,” Yan Yixi said with a smile.
“If you take me along, aren’t you afraid of running into the Golden Crow Clan and getting into big trouble because of me?”
“Precisely because you’re more hated, I want to travel with you. If we do encounter them, they’ll surely abandon me to chase after you,” Yan Yixi laughed, his divine radiance like jade giving off mist, making a few girls at the next table stare blankly.
“You lecherous thief!” Ye Fan cursed.
Falling Star River stretched for hundreds of thousands of miles and was famous in Lu Continent. Legend had it that many ancient stars had fallen into it. The river water carried the power of stars, shining brilliantly every night.
It was a full moon night. Ye Fan and Yan Yixi sat on a small boat, drinking under the moon. Several days had passed since they left Heavenly Wolf Mountain Villa.
“It seems we haven’t taken the wrong direction. We’re on Falling Star River. Look, some powerful cultivators are appearing,” Yan Yixi said.
Suddenly, petals drifted down from the sky, each one crystalline, exceptionally beautiful under the moonlight, with a fragrant scent wafting through the air.
A jade carriage, like a divine moon, passed through the sky, shrouded in a rain of crystalline petals. Immortal mist swirled, making it dreamlike under the bright moon.
Yan Yixi looked up, his expression strange, as if gazing at the most precious treasure in the world.
“What’s wrong? Who is that?” Ye Fan asked.
“This is the most beautiful woman in the Ziwei Ancient Star Domain, without equal. She is the number one beauty of this era, and also your great nemesis—the future Dao partner of Yin Tiande, who can suppress all the sect leaders under heaven until they can’t breathe.”
