Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 209: Chapter 209: The 250th Sect Master, Dragon Xuan

At that moment, Big Black Cat was completely dumbfounded. He didn’t understand why his mention of the Dragon God Sect would enrage the Nine Soul Emperor to such an extent.

Ye Yun was also slightly taken aback. He hadn’t expected that the Nine Soul Emperor, reputed to be a God Man, would have such a strong reaction after hearing the name Dragon God Sect.

Logically, the Dragon God Sect should never have had any contact with this Nine Soul Emperor. At least Ye Yun, the thirteenth Sect Master, was completely unaware of this Nine Soul Emperor.

In his memory, even the founder of the Dragon God Sect had no connections with the Nine Soul Underground Palace.

It seems that there’s a secret hidden here unknown to outsiders...

Ye Yun smiled faintly and immediately took action.

Big Black Cat’s consciousness vanished instantly. His wisp of Primordial Spirit took control of Big Black Cat’s body. Big Black Cat’s own consciousness fell into a deep slumber.

Regarding the secrets of the Dragon God Sect, Ye Yun didn’t want Big Black Cat to know too much; the more he knew, the heavier the burden he would carry. These younger members were far from capable of shouldering such a heavy responsibility.

So, Ye Yun took control of Big Black Cat to converse with the Nine Soul Emperor before him.

”Excuse me, is there anything wrong with the Dragon God Sect?” Ye Yun said softly.

The Nine Soul Emperor, agitated, failed to notice the subtle change in Big Black Cat’s tone of speech.

”Anyone from the entire Cangnan Continent is acceptable, except for someone from the Dragon God Sect! You are disqualified. I will find a new successor from the Demon Clan outside,” the Nine Soul Emperor said angrily.

”Why?” Ye Yun shrugged, feigning unwilling complaint. ”I’ve endured so much to get here; surely I deserve a reason?”

The Nine Soul Emperor fell silent. After a few moments of thought, he finally seemed to decide and slowly said, ”There’s no harm in telling you.”

”I’m all ears,” Ye Yun said in a deep voice.

”Ten thousand years ago, when the Nine Soul Underground Palace opened, do you know who it was that ultimately triumphed and received my inheritance?” the Nine Soul Emperor asked in anger.

”I don’t know. Does it have anything to do with the Dragon God Sect?” Ye Yun blinked innocently.

He suddenly found this intriguing—could it be that a successor of the Dragon God Sect had won when the Nine Soul Underground Palace opened ten thousand years ago? But Luo Li and the others didn’t know about it.

Ye Yun looked at the Nine Soul Emperor with keen anticipation, waiting for him to continue.

”Correct. That man was from the Dragon God Sect. He was an insidious and cunning fellow who deceived me and betrayed my trust, leaving me to wait in vain for tens of thousands of years,” the Nine Soul Emperor said indignantly.

As he spoke, his Super Divine Dragon Breath became unstable, the golden light emanating from him pulsed, causing the entire hall to flicker in brightness.

”You must be mistaken, Sir. People of My Divine Dragon Sect are always forthright and honorable, true to our word. We would never deceive you.”

Hearing the Nine Soul Emperor disparage a descendant of the Dragon God Sect in such a way, Ye Yun, this old ancestor, felt his own face flush. He couldn’t help but retort.

”I don’t care about the others from the Dragon God Sect, but this fellow Long Xuan is definitely no good! You are from the Dragon God Sect; do you have no recollection of this Long Xuan? What position does he hold in the Dragon God Sect?” The Nine Soul Emperor stared at Ye Yun and fired off a series of questions.

He also hoped to learn more about Long Xuan’s actions through this descendant of the Dragon God Sect.

Hearing the Nine Soul Emperor’s words, Ye Yun was momentarily stunned.

The name ’Long Xuan’ suddenly surfaced in his mind.

The 250th Sect Master of the Dragon God Sect.

He once offended an incredibly powerful faction, causing the descendants of the Dragon God Sect to be hunted for over forty generations.

One could say he was a pariah in the annals of the Dragon God Sect.

What Ye Yun hadn’t expected was that, tens of thousands of years ago, Long Xuan had actually entered the Nine Soul Underground Palace and, by some fortuitous coincidence, obtained the Nine Soul Emperor’s inheritance. However, according to Luo Li, Long Xuan had already died. Having obtained the Nine Soul Emperor’s inheritance, how could Long Xuan have perished so easily? Who in the world was his opponent?...

A moment of silence followed.

Ye Yun thought for a moment and said, ”Long Xuan was the 250th Sect Master of My Divine Dragon Sect. He once offended a formidable power and has long since perished.”

”What?”

”You said he perished? How is that possible?”

”That fellow Long Xuan was devious and exceptionally talented. Ten thousand years ago, he endured unimaginable bloody battles within the Nine Soul Underground Palace to emerge victorious and ultimately qualify for the inheritance. How could such a person die so easily!”

The Nine Soul Emperor roared angrily, repeatedly waving his fists in mid-air.

He seemed unable to accept the news of the death of his successor, Long Xuan.

In his impression, Long Xuan was a peerless prodigy, exceptionally gifted and possessing a mind as sharp as a demon’s. It was inconceivable that such an individual, especially after receiving his inheritance, could die so easily.

On the Cangnan Continent, no one should have been Long Xuan’s match.

”He has indeed perished. I have no need to deceive you. It is precisely because he provoked a powerful enemy that the successive Sect Masters of My Divine Dragon Sect have been relentlessly hunted...” Ye Yun sighed softly.

That blasted Long Xuan! The Dragon God Sect’s own inheritance was already exceedingly formidable, and he then obtained the Nine Soul Emperor’s inheritance as well. Long Xuan should have soared to prominence. How on earth did he die?

The Nine Soul Emperor fell silent. He was silently processing the information Ye Yun had given him.

Impossible... That fellow Long Xuan absolutely cannot be dead...

After a moment, the Nine Soul Emperor lifted his head again, his voice laced with a hint of madness.

With a wave of his hand, seven points of light descended from the void above him, each resembling a star.

These seven points of light instantly formed the shape of the Big Dipper.

”What are you going to do?” Ye Yun asked in a deep voice.

This Big Dipper arrangement felt somewhat familiar, yet it was entirely different from the Seven-star formations he had encountered before.

”I am going to divine whether Long Xuan is still alive or not,” the Nine Soul Emperor said solemnly.

Ye Yun said no more.

This Nine Soul Emperor’s Divine Nature had already decayed to such a state, yet he still intended to perform such a heaven-defying fate-calculation Divine Skill. Isn’t he courting death? He probably won’t live much longer after this divination.

Ye Yun didn’t intervene. If this fellow wanted to perform the divination, then let him.

Ye Yun was also eager to know the result.

That Long Xuan... having received the dual inheritances of the Dragon God Sect and the Nine Soul Emperor, Ye Yun too felt he shouldn’t have perished so easily.

The mysterious Big Dipper formation began to operate.

The Nine Soul Emperor continuously infused golden divine energy, and the Big Dipper formation started to emit a faint golden light.

Ye Yun nodded to himself.

This Nine Soul Emperor was truly worthy of once being a God-like figure.

This Great Divine Power of divination was truly astounding.

As time slowly passed.

WHOOSH!

A dazzling light erupted from the Seven-star formation, coalescing into an illusory figure in mid-air.

It was an indistinct figure, only its back visible.

His face was obscured by a mask, making it impossible to discern his true appearance.
