Chapter 2862 Floating Light (Happy Dragon Boat Festival, everyone)

The courtyard was dilapidated and looked like no one had lived there or taken care of it for a long time, as if it was a no-man's land.

This surprised Lu Ye a little. It would not be an exaggeration to say that every inch of land in Hehe Realm is worth a lot of money. It is difficult for ordinary cultivators to own a property here.

The shops and residences in this world were all passed down from generation to generation by the monks. An ownerless place like this should have been occupied by someone long ago, but in fact, no one had lived in this courtyard for a long time.

"Hmm?" Jin Yao suddenly frowned and looked in one direction.

"What's wrong?" Lu Ye asked.

Jin Yao said nothing, but there was a hint of confusion on her face, as if she had encountered something puzzling.

Almost at the same time, in the direction she was looking, in another courtyard, a middle-aged man with an unremarkable appearance suddenly opened his eyes, with the same puzzled expression on his face.

Because at this moment, he sensed a disgusting aura that made him feel familiar, yet a little fearful!

But how could this be possible? Because if what he sensed was correct, then the owner of this aura should have been dead for countless tens of thousands of years, and there was no way he could have appeared in the world again.

Without hesitation, he rushed out of his yard.

Normally, he would never be so impulsive. He has been keeping a low profile in the Hehe Realm for countless years and no one has ever noticed his existence. But when it comes to that person, he really can't suppress his curiosity.

Only the monks who lived in the same era knew how terrifying that man was. It can be said that man was simply the shadow and nightmare of that era, much worse than today's Tyrant Qiu.

Although Ba Qiu is very powerful, he will not act unreasonably like that person. But that person is different. In that era, the entire world can almost be said to be crawling at her feet, and all her requests will be fulfilled at all costs.

The man was incredibly fast and arrived at the place in just two breaths.

Looking down, I saw that familiar figure at a glance.

He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Jin Yao!"

It's really her!

But...how is this possible? This woman should have died a long time ago, how could she appear in front of him after so many years?

"Floating light..." Jin Yao was stunned. She never expected that after escaping from that dead place after so many years, the first person she met would be her mortal enemy.

It's been so many years, and this guy is still alive?

In addition to being shocked, many bad memories quickly flashed through my mind.

Just like when the two met in that era, she almost instinctively raised her hand, and the soul-calming bell appeared in her hand, and she shook it violently.

Jingle Bell……

A crisp sound was heard, and a visible mist emerged from the soul-calming bell and swept towards the floating light.

"Not good!" Jin Yao came back to her senses quickly. This was the Hehe Realm. Anyone who took action would be sent to that deadly place. At that moment just now, she was really overwhelmed by those bad memories.

Just as I thought of this, a flash of white light passed through my field of vision.

Above the courtyard, Fu Guang's body shook and a hint of pain appeared on his face, but it disappeared in a flash.

I looked down again, and there was nothing.

But he knew that it was not an illusion, he definitely saw Jin Yao!

After thinking about it for a while, it seemed that there was a young man standing next to Jin Yao just now, but all his attention was attracted by Jin Yao at that time, so he didn't pay attention to her for a while.

Now that I think about it, that young man...how come it seemed like he had killed the human Lu Ye from the Sect God Level in the Initial Hall a few days ago?

The incident on that day caused such a big fuss that countless cultivators from the Hehe Realm went to watch the fun. Of course, he also went to watch, so he had a deep impression of Lu Ye. When Zong Shen measured his body to death, he secretly marveled at how brave and powerful the young people of this era were.

But it shouldn’t be!

After killing Zong Shenliang, Lu Ye triggered the restriction of the Hehe Realm and should have been exiled into an unknown place. How could he possibly appear in front of him?

By the way, Jin Yao was also exiled to that nameless place back then...

The white world is boundless.

Lu Ye and Jin Yao stared at each other, the latter's face full of apology: "Sorry, I couldn't help it..."

This was really embarrassing. Lu Ye had just taken her away from here, and right after that she sent them back.

"Can we still go out?" Jin Yao asked.

Lu Ye looked at her steadily and said, "Come with me."

He turned around and led the way.

He sensed that hint of guidance again, so as long as the spirit of the Hedao Pearl was with him, this place would not be able to trap him.

"Just now, did you recognize the wrong person?" Lu Ye asked as he walked. This matter was somewhat strange. Jin Yao was a cultivator who lived tens of thousands of years ago. It was highly unlikely that a cultivator of that era would still be alive today. And even if he was alive, with so many years of accumulation and precipitation, he must have extraordinary strength and a great reputation. He must be at least one of the top ten city lords.

But the name Fu Guang... Lu Ye had never heard of it.

"I'm not mistaken!" Jin Yao shook her head. No matter how many years had passed, she would never have mistaken the other person's breath. Besides, she had just escaped from this place and Fu Guang came to investigate. It was obviously not a coincidence.

The other party also sensed his presence.

So it must be floating light without a doubt.

As if knowing that Lu Ye was confused, Jin Yao explained, "I heard before that Fu Guang had a strange encounter and got a fountain of life, which made his lifespan infinite, but I never got any evidence. Now it seems that this is true."

"Fountain of Life..." Lu Ye raised his eyebrows and secretly guessed that this should be a treasure that can increase one's lifespan.

"Do you have a grudge?" he asked.

Jin Yao's voice was cold: "Fight until death!"

This is undoubtedly a huge hatred that is irreconcilable. Both sides are determined to kill each other. No wonder Jin Yao suddenly attacked when they met just now.

Lu Yeqi said: "You were so strong at your peak, how could you not do anything to him?" You know, Jin Yao said before that he was the best in the world at that time, just like Ba Qiu now.

"He is also very strong, only slightly inferior to me at the beginning." Jin Yao said.

Lu Ye laughed and said, "You were exiled here. Could it be related to this floating light?"

"It has nothing to do with him." Jin Yao shook her head. "Before I was promoted, I deliberately beat him severely. When I was promoted and broke through, I don't know where he was recuperating."

After a moment of silence, she continued, "Being exiled here was my own choice."

"What do you mean?"

Jin Yao said: "You haven't taken that step yet, so you don't know the truth of this world."

The truth of the world...how familiar this sentence sounds!

Lu Ye turned to look at her: "You cut off your own roots?"

Jin Yao was extremely shocked: "How did you know?"

Lu Ye looked at her silently for a while: "I have a senior who had the same experience as you. He told me some things before, and... I have been to the source world, and I have seen more things than you know."

"Have you been to the Source Realm?" Jin Yao was really shocked. She had only glimpsed the corners of the Source Realm back then. It was precisely because of this that she made the same choice as Ba Qiu.

"So you don't want to be a puppet, so you cut off your own roots, but you have too many enemies, so you can only hide in the Hehe Realm."

They were both the best in the world in the same era, and they both made the same choices when it came to promotion and breakthroughs. Even after countless tens of thousands of years, the trajectories of history were surprisingly similar.

But Jin Yao and Ba Qiu are different.

After cutting off his own roots, Ba Qiu decided to entrust everything he had to Lu Ye.

Jin Yao has no one to trust and can only hide in the Hehe Realm. But even so, she can only survive and will eventually become weaker and weaker and become a useless person.

How could she be willing to let others see her in such a miserable state?

That was why she took the initiative to attack others in the Hehe Realm and chose to be exiled to this place. The reason why her soul was able to survive was entirely due to the power of the Soul-Soothing Bell. She transformed her own soul into the spirit of a treasure, otherwise it would have vanished into thin air.

Time flies, and her reputation has disappeared from the world. If she had not met Lu Ye this time, in a few years, even the most precious treasure would not be able to protect her soul.

A generation of legendary strongmen will eventually disappear in the long river of history like bubbles.

Lu Ye couldn't help but feel fortunate. If Jin Yao had not chosen to cut off her own roots like Ba Qiu did, but had taken that step instead, Yuan's consciousness would have been successfully revived long ago.

The seal left by the Dragon and Phoenix ancestors is gradually loosening. Once the nine True Saints gather together, Na Yuan's consciousness will be awakened. Instead of being confused and ignorant like it is now, he only has instincts in most situations.

There are currently eight True Saints in the Source Realm, only the last one is missing.

It can be said that whether it is Jin Yao or Ba Qiu, their self-sacrifice is of great significance to the entire Xingyuan, enough to be remembered by the world.

Jin Yao's question was clear, but Lu Ye still couldn't figure out one thing: "Since Fu Guang was only slightly inferior to you back then, why did he hide in the Hehe Realm for so many years?"

If Fu Guang was still doing things outside, his name would have spread throughout Xingyuan long ago, and Lu Ye would not have heard of his name only today.

But in fact, if it weren't for Jin Yao's explanation, Lu Ye would have no idea that there was such a powerful person in the Hehe Realm.

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something. When he first met Qin Feng, the Lord of the Battle Field had said something to him.

In the world of Hehe, there are actually many hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and some people are not as simple as they seem.

Take Qin Feng himself for example, he definitely has the foundation of one of the top ten city lords, but he has always stayed in the fighting battlefield and never wanted to venture into Xingyuan.

Qin Feng just said it casually back then, and Lu Ye just listened to it but didn't take it too seriously.

It was not until he encountered this fleeting moment today that Lu Ye truly realized that what Qin Feng said was true.

On the surface, the floating light was unremarkable, and no one would even take a second look at him in a crowd. But who could have known that he had lived for countless tens of thousands of years and was not a strong man of this era at all.

In that era, his strength was only inferior to Jin Yao. After so many years of accumulation, how strong should he be now? (End of this chapter)
