Chapter 566: Chapter 566: Long Tianxing’s Hometown, Coincidence, Re-entering the Three Thousand Realms
Baixue Ding was somewhat conflicted.
In the past few days, she had been secretly trailing the two of them.
Huo Yunjie and Lin Yuyan walked side by side, appearing close, but no matter day or night, no transgressions occurred.
To this, Baixue Ding was delighted.
But the thought of them being together every day suddenly made her feel a bit despondent, and she really wanted to pretend to bump into them right now.
“What should I do, should I go over there right now?”
Baixue Ding pondered.
“Roar!”
From the Taiyue Mountain Range, a roar suddenly echoed, and the three followed the sound only to see dozens of figures being chased by a High-Rank Demon General.
“You all go first, I’ll hold off this beast!” A voice full of vigor resounded.
Huo Yunjie looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a man, whose build and features were somewhat similar to Long Tianxing’s, standing mid-air.
In front of this man, a tiger-shaped High-Rank Demon General was in hot pursuit, its eyes filled with ferocity.
“Dragon Transformation Form!”
The man bellowed, and his body quickly covered in silver dragon scales, a dragon tail sprouting from his back, and two silver dragon horns also grew from his forehead.
His hands turned into dragon claws.
“This!”
Huo Yunjie’s eyes widened.
Dragon Transformation Form?
Could it be that the person not far from here was Junior Brother Long’s father?
Huo Yunjie couldn’t help but think this.
Elsewhere, Baixue Ding saw Long Yuanqing enter the Dragon Transformation Form, then glanced at the shocked Huo Yunjie and gritted her teeth, making up her mind.
“Audacious Tiger Demon, how dare you harm others, Sword Drawing Technique!”
Baixue Ding soared into the high sky.
With her left hand gripping the scabbard and her right hand reversed holding the hilt, she drew the sharp sword with all her might.
Slash!
A miles-long Sword Qi split through the air, severing one claw of the High-Grade Tiger General, inflicting a minor injury and inflaming its rage.
Long Yuanqing was immensely grateful and hurriedly said, “Thank you, Fairy, for your assistance. However, the Tiger Demon is very strong, even I cannot stop it, you should retreat quickly!”
With that, Long Yuanqing leaped into the fray, battling with the Tiger Demon. After a few exchanges, he was sent flying by the demon’s tail.
But the other dragonfolk had already escaped to a safe distance.
Seeing this, Long Yuanqing turned around and ran.
They had come out to hunt Demonic Beasts to replenish the Dragonfolk’s cultivation resources, and they were ready to return with considerable gains, but unexpectedly, they had encountered this High-Grade Tiger General in the Taiyue Mountain Range.
“Baixue Ding?”
“Why is she here too?”
On the ground, Huo Yunjie saw Baixue Ding, who could unleash the Sword Drawing Technique at Major Achievement, and a flash of admiration crossed his eyes.
He could tell that Baixue Ding had also comprehended Sword Intent!
“Run fast!”
In the sky, Long Yuanqing fled while reminding Baixue Ding.
“Think you can escape, dream on!” the High-Grade Tiger General roared, “Today, this Demon General will eat all of you!”
It leapt high into the air, pouncing towards Baixue Ding, who had the lowest cultivation level.
“It’s over!”
Baixue Ding’s heart was in chaos.
To attract Huo Yunjie’s attention, she had used all her power to utilize the “Sword Draw Technique”, and now she was completely drained, unable to escape even if she tried.
“Evil creature, don’t grow reckless!”
On the ground, Huo Yunjie leapt up and finally made a move.
Although he had an unpleasant past with Baixue Ding, it did not mean he would stand by and watch her die.
Regardless of anything else, the mysterious strong man who had used the Dragon Transformation Form was most likely Long Tian Xing’s father, and Huo Yunjie could not just stand by and watch him being hunted by the Tiger General.
“Icy Snowfield!”
Huo Yunjie cast this Sixth-Rank Spell, and as he manifested the icy Ruthless Sword Intent, a vast expanse of snowflakes materialized out of nowhere, enveloping the slightly injured High-Grade Tiger General.
“Who is it?”
The High-Grade Tiger General was furious.
It shook with power, easily extinguishing the Icy Snowfield, its form flickered, and it was about to bite down on Huo Yunjie’s head.
“Sword Draw Technique!”
But Huo Yunjie didn’t give it a chance.
As the brilliant sword, bright as the proud sun and of upper grade, was unsheathed, its fierce light instantly illuminated the night sky.
Rip!
The High-Grade Tiger General had no time to dodge and was cleaved in two.
“Bang!”
It fell to the ground, its existence and path extinguished.
Huo Yunjie sheathed his sword, glancing at Baixue Ding in the distance, wondering why she had appeared here.
“Thank you, fellow daoist, for your timely assistance!”
Long Yuanqing and the strong among the Dragonfolk Clan were astonished by Huo Yunjie’s sword qi, their eyes brimming with admiration and wonder.
“Esteemed senior, do you know Long Tianxing?”
Huo Yunjie, looking at Long Yuanqing who had exited his Dragon Transformation Form, was filled with curiosity.
“You know my son?”
“Junior Brother Long is the senior’s son? I am Huo Yunjie, the second disciple of the Misty Sect.”
“You’re the prodigy of the Misty Sect? No wonder, at such a young age you’ve reached the sixth level of the Element Gathering Realm, even High-Grade Tiger Generals can be slain by your sword in a single stroke.”
The two of them enjoyed a delightful conversation.
After chatting briefly, they became familiar with each other.
Knowing that Long Tianxing was safe and sound in the sect, Long Yuanqing felt relieved and asked Huo Yunjie, “Did you come out for experience this time?”
“Yes, I did,” Huo Yunjie nodded, looking towards Baixue Ding not far away, “Why are you here?”
Baixue Ding slightly lowered her head and said, “I’ve recently mastered the Sword Draw Technique and condensed my Sword Intent, so I came out for a walk. I didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence.”
“Indeed a bit coincidental,” Huo Yunjie said expressionlessly.
Lin Yuyan watched Baixue Ding with significant interest, feeling that her appearance here, especially when she knew she was no match for the High-Grade Tiger General and still intervened, was clearly to capture Huo Yunjie’s attention.
As a woman, she immediately guessed Baixue Ding’s thoughts.
However, she did not mention it.
Feeling Lin Yuyan’s sharp gaze, Baixue Ding felt a bit embarrassed and was about to offer some explanation.
“The three of you, our Dragonfolk ancestral land is not far from here. If you don’t mind, why not come and be our guests?”
Long Yuanqing extended an invitation.
“Sure!” Huo Yunjie also wanted to visit Long Tianxing’s hometown and immediately accepted the invitation.
Once he agreed, the two women naturally could not refuse.
Thus, the group soared through the high skies, flying hundreds of miles to the southwest, and finally arrived at the Dragonfolk Ancient Town nestled among the mountains.
“Ah, you’re Yun Jie, long time no see!”
Long Yuxin, Long Tianxing’s mother, saw Huo Yunjie, and immediately grabbed his hand, showering him with warm greetings.
Learning that Long Tianxing had already ascended to the Element Gathering Realm with extraordinary combat prowess, Long Yuxin couldn’t help but burst into tears.
“My poor child has finally grown up!”
“Alright, alright, stop crying, you’ll make people laugh,” Long Yuanqing quickly whispered, reminding her to keep her composure.
Everyone in the Dragonfolk Ancient Town enjoyed the delicious food, conversing occasionally, but when Long Yuanqing brought out the wine brewed from Bizarre Spirit Fruits to entertain Huo Yunjie and his companions, their eyes lit up.
“We have these kinds of spirit fruits in the Misty Sect, but they don’t taste as authentic as the ones here,” Huo Yunjie commented.
“Of course, our Bizarre Spirit Fruits are plucked from the Divine Island in the Three Thousand Realms, they are of the purest taste,” Long Yuanqing explained.
“I see!” Huo Yunjie was very curious about the legendary Three Thousand Realms and Divine Island.
He had heard of these places during casual conversations with Long Tianxing, but he had never ventured into them, and longed to do so.
“Right, later we will enter the Divine Island of the Three Thousand Realms to harvest those Bizarre Spirit Fruits that are nearly ripe. If you three are interested, you are also welcome to join us.”
“Great!”
Huo Yunjie was filled with anticipation.
That night,
Long Yuanqing transformed into his Dragon Form using the pure bloodline of the Dragonfolk within him to open the underground entrance.
A group of dozens entered the Three Thousand Realms.
As Huo Yunjie beheld the completely unfamiliar, huge Cave Heaven World, he felt a sudden sense of enlightenment and emotionally said,
“So this is the Three Thousand Realms. I remember Ziling Junior Sister mentioning that her homeland is in one of the medium-sized Cave Heaven Worlds here.”
