Watch Out! Danger Ahead

Chapter 1038: Yichang (2)

The existence of the thick fog split the water in two. Perhaps her initial guess was wrong. The thick fog was not to block the exploration of the outside world. It was more likely to prevent the yin Qi from eroding into the yulun void realm.

Who in the world had the ability to set up such a restriction?

Was the legendary Dragon King related to the Dragon King that she had to kill in this trial?

As he was thinking, the ship was getting closer to the dock. A faint peach fragrance wafted over. Uncle Xiang, who was talking to the two young men, could no longer hold back his excitement and stood up.

The people standing on the pier could be seen clearly. The way these people stood was very strange.

There was one person standing at the front, two people in the second row, three people in the third row, and five people in the fourth row.

The positions these people were standing in were very particular. There was a certain distance between each person, and the difference between the front and back rows was also very obvious. They formed a strange triangular position, as if some kind of mysterious array.

All 11 of them were wearing the same clothes. They were all wearing dark blue wide-sleeved shirts with slanted lapels. The waists were wrapped in layers of embroidered dark-colored fabric, and the outermost layer was hung on the waists with some kind of special silver hook. It looked complicated and extremely Grand, like a ceremony.

Because everyone’s clothing, appearance, even aura and expression were similar, one could not tell who was who at first glance, as if they were all brothers born from the same clan.

However, as the ship approached, the young men realized that it was just a psychological illusion. The ‘people’ standing here were of different ages, some old and some young.

The man standing at the front looked very young, about 20 years old. Perhaps it was because he had been living in seclusion from the world and in the Yu Lun illusionary realm, his skin was pale without a trace of blood, but it was extremely thin and tender, like a newly peeled eggshell. There was no scar or mole, and his skin was surprisingly good.

He was young and wore a strange black hat. On both sides of the hat, there were two black ribbons as wide as two fingers. They hung down to both sides of his chest, making his skin look as white as Jade.

This person was beautiful and looked extraordinarily handsome. Compared to the wrinkly old men behind him, he seemed to have an otherworldly temperament, which was no different from the immortals in the minds of the young people.

However, although he was young, his aura was extraordinary. When he looked at people, he made them feel great pressure.

When he saw the ship approaching, he only smiled slightly and took the lead to take a step forward, breaking the perfect triangular formation from before. The others who stayed behind him did not move. They still maintained their previous respectful posture with their hands hanging in front of them and did not make a sound.

As soon as uncle Xiang saw the young man, his single eye burst out with a bright light like a small sun. He didn’t even wait for the ship to completely approach the dock before he jumped up.

The old man was no longer young, but he was still very strong. After he went ashore, he was not in a hurry to pull the boat to the dock. Instead, he quickly walked towards the young black-robed man in the lead. Before he got close to him, he seemed to be afraid of molesting this man. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed with each step, moving his body to crawl towards the young man.

“Lord Yichang.” He mumbled to himself and kept kissing the ground, as if he was extremely respectful to this young man. He didn’t even dare to touch the tip of his shoes, as if he was afraid of tainting this person.

Judging from uncle Xiang’s behavior, this Lord he called Yi Chang had an extraordinary status in the Yu Lun void realm. He was probably the leader of this trip to welcome uncle Xiang!

Song qingxiao looked at the young man with a Jade-like face. Uncle Xiang was kneeling in front of him, but the young man’s eyes did not fall on uncle Xiang. Instead, he looked past uncle Xiang and sized up the people on the boat.

His gaze swept past the two young men who were supporting each other and were as excited as uncle Xiang. He then looked at pinluo and finally landed on song qingxiao.

His gaze stopped on her slightly wet hands for a long time before moving to her face. His eyes met hers slightly and they were fixed for a moment.

The two of them looked at each other, as if they were secretly trying to find out what the other was up to.

The young man must have seen song qingxiao’s action earlier, so he was not surprised at all. Instead, it was as if he had just seen a trivial matter.

Song qingxiao did not have any intention of hiding it. Uncle Xiang was cunning and thoughtful. He might have made some deal with someone in the yulun void realm. He would probably tell the young man everything about song qingxiao’s performance on the way.

Therefore, she calmly sized up this young man, her gaze so direct that it was almost presumptuous.

Compared to the other devoted, uneasy, and nervous uncle Xiang and the young man, her behavior was undoubtedly extremely eye-catching.

The young man did not seem to care about her presumptuous gaze. After looking at her for a long time, as the kneeling uncle Xiang repeatedly addressed him, he finally slowly opened his mouth.

“I didn’t expect that a guest would come to such a remote place today.”

His voice did not match his young and handsome appearance.

His voice was clear like a young man’s, but his tone was calm and kind, as if he had been drinking wine for many years, with a long breath, as if he had seen through many things in the world, with a strange feeling of the growth rings of time.

The handsome youth’s words stunned uncle Xiang and the three young men on the boat. According to uncle Xiang, he came here every month and had come back and forth countless times in the past few decades.

Moreover, from the way he treated the young man, it could be seen that he respected the young man as if he were a celestial being, and the young man’s attitude towards him was ordinary, neither cold nor warm, not like a guest, but more like a servant.

The guest that the youth was referring to was naturally not uncle Xiang.

When he spoke, he looked at song qingxiao and did not pay attention to the other three people. It was as if those young men were insignificant and not worthy of his attention. Therefore, the guests he thought were naturally not these three.

Uncle Xiang stood up straight, his ferocious and terrifying face showing a trace of extreme shock. He obviously did not expect that the girl, who had given him a headache all the way, would be treated as a guest by this young man.

After a short moment of loss of composure, uncle Xiang once again prostrated himself on the ground, maintaining his previous posture of extreme respect.

After the handsome young man finished speaking, he retracted his gaze with a smile and looked at uncle Xiang in front of him.

“It’s been hard on you, Xiangxiang.”

To uncle Xiang, his words were like a Supreme reward. He was so excited that his entire body trembled. He touched the ground with his forehead and lost his composure as he cried out loud. It was as if he could not make a sound.
