Chapter 241 - Metamorphosis

Zhong Yue and Lang Qingyun’s hearts thumped quickly, and their minds were both blown. They were talented and intelligent individuals, and after some probing, they both came to a shocking conclusion respectively!

Zhong Yue realized that Lang Qingyun was the man who sent Xiao Chuqing into Swords Gate. Xiao Chuqing was sent into Swords Gate as his daughter, but in truth, she was used by Lang Qingyun so that the Xiao Mang Celestial Race to infiltrate the Great Wilderness and East Barren!

And Lang Qingyun too, found out that Zhong Yue was the one who had killed Xiao Chuqing and taken away the spirit of Xiao Chuqing. In addition, he even guessed that Zhong Yue was the one who landed on the moon and discovered the secrets of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race!

That’s right, when the incidents in the moon occured, this Long Yue was coincidently in Gu Xia city, and I found traces left behind by him after that!

Lang Qingyun remained expressionless as he thought, He actually managed to remain hidden up until now from the investigations of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race. Xiao Chuqing must have discovered his secrets and thus, she was killed by him since dead people tell no tales! And his true Yuan Shen is definitely not that moon spirit, the moon spirit is just a disguise to hide the real one! So what is his real Yuan Shen?

The tracks and traces left behind by Zhong Yue had been removed by Gu Hongzi, but to smart individuals like Lang Qingyun, there would still be something even after the traces were destroyed.

.And the something which allowed Lang Qingyun to discover Zhong Yue’s secret was Zhong Yue’s moon spirit!

Solely on this point, he managed to come to a conclusion with many things and find out the secrets of Zhong Yue!

Through his moon spirit being identified by Lang Qingyun, Zhong Yue too, came to conclusions on many matters regarding Lang Qingyun, which helped him to discover the true identity of Lang Qingyun. In this world, not many people had seen a real moon spirit, and only the Xiao Mang Celestial Race could identify the real moon spirit, because the moon spirits and even the core of the moon had been sealed under the Xiao Mang Celestial Temple!

I have to capture Lang Qingyun alive because he most probably knows the identity used by the Xiao Mang Celestial Race’s member hidden in Swords Gate!, thought Zhong Yue.

“Junior martial brother Long Yue, seems like you have a lot of secrets.”

Lang Qingyun laughed and said, “I’m afraid these secrets will cause quite a turbulence if known to the public.”

Zhong Yue smiled happily and replied, “But the secrets of senior martial sister Lang will cause an even bigger turbulence than mine if exposed.”

The two then met each others eyes. Lang Qingyun suddenly laughed and said, “Then let our little secrets remain secrets forever, so that we will not cause trouble to the public.”

Lian Xin became even more curious, but when she looked at the duo’s faces, all she saw was only two happy smiles.

The three then continued chatting. When Lang Qingyun and Lian Xin were about to leave, Zhong Yue got up and sent them off with happily. From the view of outsiders, their relationship seemed to be very good and firm.

But little did they know that the Zhong Yue and Lang Qingyun had found out each other’s secrets and threatened one another. The situation was in no way less intense than a tough fight!

Lian Xin then said, “You don’t have to send us off so far, we will notify you as soon as we receive news about second senior martial sister.”

Zhong Yue nodded. And as he watched Lian Xin and Lang Qingyun leave, he thought, Lang Qingyun found out that I'm the one who killed Xiao Chuqing and went to the moon. He will definitely notify the Xiao Mang Celestial Race about this, and I wonder if he realized that I am Zhong Yue, and Zhong Yue is Long Yue yet.

This is bad…

But he shouldn't be able to guess that I am Zhong Yue, as traces about my identity as Zhong Yue were wiped out by senior martial brother Gu Hongzi. All he can guess will be that I am the spy sent to East Barren by the dragons, but even with that, I am in a bad situation right now. The raging anger of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race is not easy to be dealt with, not to mention that Xiao Chuqing was the daughter of the high priest of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race!

The positions of the high priests of the celestial races was just like the position of the Swords Gate’s headmaster in the entire Great Wilderness, or the position of Shi Buyi in the East Barren. How could the Xiao Mang Celestial Race not be angered by the death of the elder priest’s daughter?

Swords Gate!

Zhong Yue turned back into the Storm Courtyard and thought, I have to return to Swords Gate now and notify the elders to capture Lang Qingyun! If we manage to capture him, we will find the other spy of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race in Swords Gate, and get rid of the internal threats of Swords Gate!

Then, he ordered Qing He and the other four girls to sell off the properties of Storm Courtyard and use the money to buy spirit pills that were made especially for Qi Practitioners. He also told them to leave to Gu Xia City as soon as they completed the tasks that were given to them.

“Qing He, keep this Li Wood properly.”

Zhong Yue took out the Li Wood that was used as a substitution for him, emitting the same scent and aura as he did. The Li Wood was something he used to prevent someone pinpointing his location through precious items like the soul lanterns. Then, he told Qing He, “Put this Li Wood into your Yuan Shen secret realm after two days. Your master will leave one step ahead first!”

Qing He took the Li Wood from Zhong Yue, but she felt curious about the use of the Li Wood and was surprised that Zhong Yue was so serious about it.

Zhong Yue then headed towards Gu Xia City after he left Xian Kong Saint City.

His secrets had been discovered by Lang Qingyun, and so it would be best if he left as quickly as possible. The faster he left the city, the safer he would be as dangers would arrive quickly after Lang Qingyun notified the Xiao Mang Celestial Race!

And if he would be much safer if he was in Gu Xia City, because of the presence of Gu Hongzi!

Besides, Gu Xia City was very close to the Great Wilderness and he could switch back to his identity as Zhong Yue to seek protection from Swords Gate!

------

At the same time as Zhong Yue left the city, Lang Qingyun also notified the Xiao Mang Celestial Race, telling them that Zhong Yue was the murderer of Xiao Chuqing. However , by the time he received the replies of the elders, Zhong Yue had already traveled more than a thousand miles away from the city.

By the time Lang Qingyun noticed that Zhong Yue has left the city, two days had already passed. This was because as soon as Zhong Yue got out of the city, he held his breath and ran at full speed while he used the Li Wood given to Qing He to replace his scent.

After two days, when Qing He kept the Li Wood into her Yuan Shen secret realm as ordered as Zhong Yue, Lang Qingyun had a huge shock when he suddenly lost track of Zhong Yue after he tried to pinpoint his location with the soul lantern!

By then, Zhong Yue was already a tens of thousands of miles away from Gu Xia Saint City!

Where did that brat go!

After pouring huge efforts into searching for Zhong Yue to no avail, Lang Qingyun had cold sweat running all over his forehead uncontrollably. The Xiao Mang Celestial Race’s elders viewed this matter extremely heavily, and they have already sent out priests and strong individuals to kill Zhong Yue. Lang Qingyun gave his word to his clan that he could precisely locate Zhong Yue no matter where he went. Against all of his expectations, Zhong Yue had disappeared into thin air. Even the soul lantern could not locate him, which he had not encountered before!

How am I supposed to tell to high priest about this…

Lang Qingyun expression changed and suddenly, he grit his teeth as he flew out of Xian Kong Saint City. He then plunged forward and landed on his hands and knees as he sniffed around the ground like a dog as he smirked, Junior martial brother Long Yue, you might have underestimated me if you think that you can escape from my grasp just like that! We Xiao Mang Celestial Race may not be the very best in smelling power, but we are still one of the best!

Very soon, he discovered Zhong Yue’s trail through his scent, and started after him.

Hmmm? There’s another person’s scent with Long Yue. Judging from the nice scent, that should be a woman…

Lang Qingyun’s face changed when he detected some other people’s scents after chasing after Zhong Yue for a few thousand miles. He quickly identified the owner of the scent, which was seemingly following behind Zhong Yue. He thought, Its fourth junior martial sister Lian Xin! She is after Long Yue as well!

Lang Qingyun then murmured to himself, “Why is she after Long Yue? With her presence, I will face difficulties in capturing Long Yue, and I might even have my cover exposed. It is not quite worth it if I expose my cover just for Xiao Chuqing…”

He then suddenly stood up and looked far away.

The direction Long Yue is heading in is Gu Xia City! A startled beast will return to its lair, as its lair is the safest place in the mind of the startled beast. This brat will definitely return to Gu Xia City because his territory is there and Gu Hongzi is his guardian, just like a startled beast! Therefore, I no longer have to chase after him, all I have to do is just wait for him in Gu Xia City!

Without a soul lantern, it would be almost impossible to look for someone in this vast East Barren. It was something almost impossible even for someone like Shi Buyi.

Therefore, although Lang Qingyun possessed the incredible sense of smell of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race, prolonged hours of tracking by scent would take a toll on his nose as well. The presence of Lian Xin also caused him great trouble, so he decided that he might as well wait for Zhong Yue in Gu Xia City and wait for Zhong Yue to enter his trap!

------

Tens of thousands of miles away, Zhong Yue continued running without decreasing his speed. It would only be a day or two until he returned to Gu Xia City.

After arriving in the city, I will have to notify Gu Hongzi about the real identity of Lang Qingyun. After that, I will return to Swords Gate as fast possible!

---

Zhong Yue continued to travel quickly. After advancing for another ten thousand miles and getting past a mountainous area, he saw a silk gauze a thousand miles long floating in the skies in a pattern just like a slithering snake.

This silk gauze…

Zhong Yue’s face changed slightly as he murmured, “Chi Liannu! She’s hiding here!”

After passing by the silk gauze, Zhong Yue then saw a huge fiery red snake hide wrapped around a huge mountain!

The snake hide was incredibly eerie, as when the sunlight shone on it, the scales reflected the sunlight and poisonous mist was spread all over the mountain.

Suddenly, a dragon roar could be heard faintly coming from the poison mist. Zhong Yue used his divine third eye to take a look at the situation in the poison mist, only to see a fiery red half-Jiao Dragon, half-snake creature trying to shed its snake body as it tried to evolve into a dragon!

That creature was Chi Liannu!

She was in the most crucial state of her metamorphosis of turning into a dragon from a snake!

Zhong Yue’s heart thumped and he suddenly stopped moving as he looked towards Chi Liannu, who was going through a metamorphosis. He saw that her body kept reforming and restructuring as the dragon Qi surged through her body, and her totem carvings were frequently changing patterns and forms on her body.

Then, this female monster started changed her form in an irregular pattern, sometimes a Jiao Dragon, sometimes a Chilian Snake, sometimes a naked girl that was moaning in pain.

Metamorphosis, the process of a larvae evolving into a butterfly….

Zhong Yue murmured as something in his mind resonated with this scene happening in front of him. He suddenly felt that a heavy door had opened for him, and his mind had never been as clear as it was right now!
