Chapter 691: Chapter 383: Unexpected Gain, A Big Gift from the Jiang Family!
Simulation Space.
Accompanied by a flash of white light, Lu Yuan’s figure suddenly appeared here.
"I have the World Mark, and I can start the Chosen Trial at any time."
"But before going to the Martial Arts World, there’s another thing I need to do."
With a slight mental shift, Lu Yuan held a Jade Pendant in his hand.
This Jade Pendant was only the size of a palm, with intricate and exquisite patterns carved on its surface.
All the patterns combined and intertwined, eventually forming the character ’Jiang’ on the front.
On the back of the Jade Pendant, there was the character ’Yue’.
When combined, the owner’s identity of the Jade Pendant was clearly evident.
"In the past, I used an Ancient Array to go to the Moon Palace and obtained this Jade Pendant from the Ice Coffin Maiden."
"I promised her I would return this Jade Pendant to the Jiang Family, but the King-Sealing Giants are hard to reach; rash contact may bring great disaster."
"So I put this matter aside and didn’t expect it to drag on until now."
Lu Yuan’s eyes showed a hint of reminiscence.
Jiang Yue was an Ancient Qi Refiner from the Martial Arts World and the daughter of the Talisman King Jiang Heng.
However, a Tier Seven anomaly descended, turning all the splendor and glory of the Ancient Era into history.
The Martial Arts World was even reduced to ruins, from a Seven-Star Advanced World to a One-Star Simulation World.
After a bitter fight against the Tier Seven anomaly, Jiang Heng attempted to forcibly bring his wife and daughter back to the Main World but was intercepted by the Feng King.
He ultimately couldn’t bear the pain of losing his wife, his spirit collapsed, and he wandered through the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, never to be seen again.
As for Jiang Yue, she remained asleep in that Ice Coffin, living from Ancient Times until now.
Remembering the past, Lu Yuan’s heart was filled with a sense of wistfulness.
When he first simulated, he was just an unknown novice, amazed by the King Sealing.
But as time flew by, when he became a King-Sealing Giant, looking back, he found that Tier Seven King was not so great.
"I wonder what the Martial Arts World has become after so many years, and if that Ice Coffin Maiden is still alive."
Lu Yuan said with a complex expression.
He planned to investigate the whereabouts of Talisman King Jiang Heng and the Jiang Family before returning to the Martial Arts World.
Returning this Jade Pendant to the Jiang Family would settle a Cause and Effect.
However, as soon as Lu Yuan logged into the Simulator Forum, he received a barrage of unread private messages.
"Are you still in seclusion?"
"So your name is Lu Yuan? Wuyou City is your territory? Didn’t expect you to hide so well."
"The Dark Forces are growing stronger, and the Great Yan Royal Family has decided to abandon the Southern Domain. You better prepare early."
These messages were from Sikong Xi, the intelligence minister of the Night Watch Department’s branch, but the time showed that they were from thirty years ago.
At that time, Lu Yuan was simulating in the Seven-Star Wilderness World and was disconnected from the Main World and the Will of the Heavens, unable to check the messages.
As for the exposure of his identity, Lu Yuan had anticipated this.
The rise of Wuyou City coincided almost perfectly with his growth trajectory, and some Heaven-Reaching figures would sooner or later guess his identity.
And Sikong Xi, as the intelligence minister of the Night Watch Department’s branch, was expected to know Lu Yuan’s true identity in advance.
But at Lu Yuan’s current Realm, he had enough Power to deter most malevolent schemers, no longer needing to conceal anything.
"No wonder the entire Southern Domain, ten cities stand empty out of nine; turns out the Great Yan Royal Family made their decision so early."
Lu Yuan’s eyes showed a hint of understanding as he continued to browse those unread messages.
In these forty years, Sikong Xi sent him hundreds of messages.
But most messages were fragments filled with a hint of wistfulness.
Lu Yuan quickly skimmed through and directly scrolled to the bottom of the chatbox.
"Wuyou City is attracting a lot of attention, and many have their eyes on you."
"Some King-Sealing Giants have noticed the anomalies in Wuyou City. If you’re sincere in seeking help, maybe I’ll personally step in to negotiate."
"What the hell? You actually subdued the Blood God Pope Shi Tao? Made my trip needless!"
"The news of your subduing Shi Tao has spread, causing other King-Sealing Giants to be on guard and hostile."
"The Great Yan Royal Family is also highly alert, likely to take action against you soon!"
"It’s over, get out quickly."
"King Wuwei is coming, planning to join forces with Feng King and Desert King to break Wuyou City together."
"Hurry and come to my Sikong Family, maybe it can save your life."
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
"Brother, are you this fierce? You’ve become a King-Sealing Giant so quickly? Even King Wuwei has been suppressed by you?!"
"Great, my old man is pushing me to form an alliance with you every day. Do I agree or pretend to refuse?"
"Damn bastard, you ended the simulation, why aren’t you replying???"
"You’re not mad, are you? Haha, I was just joking before, don’t take it to heart..."
...
Seeing this series of messages, Lu Yuan was quite helpless.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to reply.
"I was busy before, just saw the messages."
Shortly after this message was sent.
Night Watch Department’s branch.
A certain tall and icy goddess-like woman nearly cried tears of joy, feeling a sense of fulfillment akin to reuniting with a long-lost beloved after waiting in a freezing cave.
"I, the King, have waited forty years; are you finally done?"
Even across the screen, Lu Yuan could imagine her gritting teeth and looking resentful.
"Hmm, I’m preparing to start the Chosen Trial, help me inquire about Jiang Heng’s news."
