Chapter 290 – The Biggest Search and Rescue Scene in History: Senior Brother, Where Are You?
Chapter 290 – The Biggest Search and Rescue Scene in History: senior brother, where are you?
In the twinkling of an eye.
Several months passed.
The deserted island is still deserted.
There is no one there.
The sea is calm, as if it has been for ages.
Buzz!
A green light was born from the bottom of the sea, incomparably dazzling, illuminating the surrounding sea.
It was a precious mirror.
The light emanated up to the depths of the seabed, searching the waters inch by inch.
Swish!
The green light flew back to the deserted island and landed in Yu Xiaolong’s hand.
His face was slightly white, and when he opened his eyes, he saw several pairs of eyes looking over at the same time, and immediately shook his head helplessly.
The crowd’s eyes showed disappointment and sighed silently.
It had already been several months.
They had been trying and searching the seas in all directions, trying to find traces of Wang Xiu still surviving.
It was a pity that there was no luck.
Jade Xiaolong’s precious mirror was a genuine immortal artifact called the Eightfold Mirror, which recorded Wang Xiu’s aura, and even if there was a drop of Wang Xiu’s blood in this ocean, it would be hard to escape its insight.
But after such a long time, there was no movement at all.
It was as if Wang Xiu had never existed.
This was not without despair.
Roar-
A sizeable continent appeared on the surface of the sea, covered with grass, moss, and was continuously approaching from a distance.
It was only when it got closer that a huge shadow was found under that continent.
It was incomparably thick.
It was actually a huge ao.
It docked at the side of the deserted island and bowed respectfully to Ao Canghai, emitting some sounds that ordinary people couldn’t understand.
After listening, Ao Canghai’s eyelids drooped and he waved his hand expressionlessly.
The great ao departed.
Ao Canghai turned to look at the crowd and shook his head, “Still no news.”
The Dragon Race was the overlord of the sea.
It ruled over all the spirits of the sea race.
Commanding some beings with a low life level couldn’t be easier for him.
The problem was that he had already issued hundreds of orders in succession, radiating to every race in the ten thousand miles of sea, causing them to search with all their might, and still hadn’t found the slightest useful clue.
Wang Xiu seemed to have truly disappeared.
In addition to that.
Zhao Qingyu, Meng Ran, Han Yi, and the others were all using their own means to do similar things.
Reaping similar results.
……
“It’s fine, take a break, let’s expand our search and look again!”
Jade Xiaolong consumed a few recovery-type elixirs, and then generously took out some to distribute to the remaining few.
Despite the fact that on the Dragon Emperor’s Island, they had some arguments and killed each other.
But after this period of time together, because they were working for the same thing, they became a lot closer.
Ao Canghai looked down at the elixir handed over by Yu Xiaolong and didn’t take it, but suddenly said, “I’m leaving!”
The crowd looked at him.
Ao Canghai looked at the calm sea and said, “The clan has sent thirteen consecutive transmissions to me, telling me to return quickly!”
The crowd was silent.
It wasn’t just Ao Canghai, they had also received similar messages.
Dragon Emperor Island no longer existed.
The Nine Heavens’ Heaven Viewer had regained its usefulness, and the people up there could easily see everything here, and when they learned that this line of work had ultimately ended in failure, they certainly regretted it, but they didn’t say anything.
This was especially true for those great powers that sent out heavenly prides whose strength was not dominant.
They were even more relieved by it.
For example, the Yi Clan.
The celestial pride sent out perished before they even arrived at the Dragon Emperor Island, and originally they were still angry enough, but after learning this news, they immediately felt much better.
After all, everyone didn’t get it, it’s better than having one party get it.
Since the matter of Dragon Emperor Island has been completed.
The people above were definitely going to let the young people who were still alive quickly return to the upper realm!
There was no point in staying in the Cang Yuan Realm.
Instead, it delayed cultivation.
It was just that, whether it was the Xuan Tian Sect’s Holy Daughter Zhao Qingyu, or the Heavenly Dao Academy’s Husband’s own disciple Meng Ran, or the Dragon Clan’s five-clawed golden dragon bloodline Ao Canghai ……
all delayed again and again to the forces behind their respective backs.
The purpose was the same, wanting to see a result, no one wanted to believe that Wang Xiu had died like this.
Yu Xiaolong glanced at Ao Canghai and said, “So urgent? There’s still no news from Wang Xiu?”
Ao Canghai looked at him and said, “Is it true that there is no news, or are we unwilling to believe that news? Or unwilling to admit that what we’ve been doing lately has been useless?”
Everyone was silent.
Dragon Emperor Island itself was a small world.
The Dragon Palace within it, in turn, belonged to a small world within a small world, involving incomparably arcane spatial laws.
Not to mention that Wang Xiu’s final enemy was an Earth Immortal.
That kind of situation.
Wang Xiu would either fall into a void rift, be swallowed up by void turbulence, or simply be wiped out outright ……
In short, there were countless possibilities, all of which were enough to make Wang Xiu disappear completely and without a trace.
They searched this sea.
It was just bo that slimmest, best case scenario.
Now the answer is obvious.
Good luck was not on their side.
What remained then, whichever was possible, was that with their strength, they were simply unable to find any trace of Wang Xiu, even if it was just a drop of residual essence blood.
……
The reasoning was understood.
But this was something that no one had mentioned for months, deliberately avoiding it.
At this moment, it was broken by Ao Canghai.
The atmosphere became silent.
Several people did not speak, and even the sound of the wind on the sea became smaller for fear of disturbing them.
Yu Xiaolong said, “Always try again!”
Ao Canghai said expressionlessly, “Our situation is different!”
Ao Canghai was undoubtedly the hope of the Dragon Clan’s current generation.
Sending him to the lower realms this time to compete for the Candle Dragon Origin was a very risky and bold act.
Once something happens to him.
The Dragon Clan might continue to dim for thousands of years.
Now that the Candle Dragon Origin was out of the question, they naturally had to urge Ao Canghai back as soon as possible to prevent any other accidents from happening to him.
As for the Jade Family, the younger generation was full of heroes.
In particular, the eldest son, Jade Tianlong, was so renowned that no one in the entire Shaking Heavenly Realm knew about him, and even the rest of the Heavens had heard of him, and was destined to be the unicorn son that would allow the Jade Family to continue to rocket upwards.
With him at the front.
Jade Xiaolong’s days could be considered to be incredibly nourishing.
The situation was naturally different.
Jade Xiaolong understood Ao Canghai’s meaning and no longer dissuaded him.
Ao Canghai added: “I owe Wang Xiu a life, please take a message back to the Three Qing Immortal Sect for me! In the future, if anyone encounters trouble in the Nine Heavens, hold this token and come to Hidden Dragon Valley to look for me, no matter what kind of trouble it is, I won’t excuse myself! As long as I am still alive, this promise is valid.”
He plucked a scale from the back of his head, carrying a faint trace of blood and flashing with arcane luster.
Jade Xiaolong took it and said, “I will convey it!”
……
Ao Canghai departed.
The island became more and more desolate.
Jade Xiaolong was silent for a moment, and then without further thought, he once again urged his magic treasure and explored further afield.
At the same time, he did not forget to look around at the rest of the people and said, “What about you guys? How much longer can you hold out?”
Meng Ran looked frank and said, “I explained the situation to Fu Zi, and he supports me in any decision I make, as long as I don’t miss the time when the passageway closes!”
Sniffing.
Surprise appeared in the eyes of everyone.
The passage between the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands opened once every thousand years, and each time it opened for a few decades, the exact time would fluctuate, but it wouldn’t be great.
A few decades.
Although in the world of cultivators, it was not a long time.
But one must realize that these heavenly prides of the lower realms were all under thirty years old.
Now was their youngest time.
It was also the stage where their strength grew the fastest and most important.
At a time like this, how extravagant was it to spare a few decades to stay in a place like the Lower Realm where aura was not abundant?
It was no exaggeration to say.
These times were enough for those heavenly prides of the same age in the Nine Heavens to catch up and even surpass.
Jade Xiaolong’s face was slightly surprised as he said, “Is the Husband really willing to give up?”
Meng Ran calmly said, “My husband has taught me since I was young that there are thousands of great paths, and my lineage in the Academy only cultivates obedience to the heart! My brother Wang was in danger to save me, and now his life and death are unknown. If I leave here, I will not be able to live in peace with my thoughts! In that case, even if I have cultivated the Great Dao, what can I do?”
Heard.
Admiration appeared on the faces of all the people.
Worthy of the academy, it really was in this style.
Zhao Qingyu’s voice was soft as she looked at the sea, the green silk around her ears moving with the wind: “Let’s wait a little longer, I always feel that he won’t die so easily!”
Yes.
This was the only thought that everyone present was upholding in their hearts for the reason they waited until now.
Wang Xiu, should not have died so easily.
Even though they hadn’t known each other for a long time, the Wang Xiu they knew was mysterious and unpredictable, as if it was a limitless sea that could not be seen to the end.
He seemed to have never-ending means.
Although he did not let go of any wild words, he favored giving people a feeling of trustworthiness.
It’s like the sky is falling.
Those shoulders can also hold up.
Such a thought is obviously very irrational.
After all, Wang Xiu’s enemy at the last moment was a genuine Earth Immortal.
But, at times like this, it was emotion that overpowered reason.
It just so happened that everyone was willing to take a chance, to be impulsive, to take a gamble.
……
Time passes quickly. Turning another year.
Spring goes and winter comes.
A few flurries of heavy snow were ushered in above the North Sea.
It was colder between heaven and earth.
There were large, snow-white glaciers floating on the surface of the sea, as far as the eye could see, so clean that it looked like a white sheet of paper that hadn’t had time to draw anything.
But the popularity of this place is gradually rising.
When the Dragon Emperor Island came out with a bang and caused such a huge commotion, now after almost two years, there was no subsequent more news.
Naturally, it had drawn the attention of the major forces of the Cang Yuan Realm.
After all, those great powers and Immortal Sects had sent out quite a few top celestial pride to follow the Nine Heavenly Pride into the Dragon Emperor Island in the first place.
However.
When they arrived here, they couldn’t see anything, except for that endless glacier.
Dragon Emperor Island had disappeared.
It fell into the deepest part of the seabed.
Only a few remnants and ruins of little note remained.
This caused quite a few powerful people from Immortal Sects and Great Clans to choke and sigh.
……
“Have you heard? When the sensational Dragon Emperor Island secret realm, how many of the proud sons of heaven broke in, and as a result …… not a single one came out alive!”
“All dead inside?”
“Isn’t it?”
“Ouch, this is a heavy loss for the great immortal sects!”
“Wait, I remember …… that Sanqing Saint Son also went in at first! He didn’t make it out either?”
“No! It’s said that there were many dangers in that Dragon Emperor Island secret realm, and the Holy Son of the Three Purities sacrificed himself many times to save others, and ended up rescuing a few heavenly prides from the Nine Heavens, while staying inside himself!”
“Hiss – is that really true?”
Countless people were murmuring.
This sea area was swarming with people, and countless cultivators were looking at the North Sea, looking at the place where that Dragon Emperor Island had once appeared, listening to the legends of the past and sighing continuously.
“This kind of thing, you put it on others, I really don’t believe, after all, into the relics to find treasures, that are some hard-hearted Lord, not stabbing knives in the back even if the heart is good! But if you want to say that the Three Pristine Saints can do this, I believe it!”
“That’s a given, this is the hero of the human race who once saved the day on the battlefield of the Demon Race!”
“The Three Pristine Sacred Son, truly a contemporary saint! I heard that those Nine Heavens Pride didn’t have a good attitude when they first went to the Three Clear Immortal Sect to ask for help, but I didn’t realize that the Three Clear Sage Son was actually willing to put himself on the line for them!”
“What do you mean by complaining with virtue? This is complaining with virtue!”
“No wonder, even the few Celestial Pride from the Nine Heavens were touched, and they haven’t moved an inch in this year, they’ve all stayed on that island, wanting to find the Three Qing Sacred Son, and live to see the dead!”
“It’s just a pity that there’s no trace of the whereabouts after all!”
“……”
Such news could not be concealed.
The more it spreads, the wider it becomes.
Countless cultivators rushed here from the south and north of the sky.
The place was empty, Dragon Emperor Island had long since disappeared, so naturally they saw nothing.
The only thing they saw was the legendary barren island, and they saw Jade Xiaolong, Zhao Qingyu, and the other Nine Heavens Pride relentlessly using all sorts of means to probe for traces of Wang Xiu.
And so they knew.
The legend was mostly true.
“It’s all your fault, if it wasn’t for you guys, Senior Brother Wang Xiu wouldn’t have gotten into trouble! I’ll fight you all!”
A green-clothed young girl with red eyes and a sobbing voice rushed towards Yu Xiaolong and the others.
However, she was stopped by a group of young men.
“Senior Sister Liu, don’t be impulsive!”
A young man stopped the green-clothed girl’s actions and looked deeply at Yu Xiaolong and the others, his eyes flickering with suppressed anger.
Yu Xiaolong remembered them.
That youth was named Zhang Zhong, and had once had a chance to chat with Wang Xiu in a piece.
Later, on the heavenly ladder, they were swept down by Wu Ming, and in the nick of time, they were saved by Wang Xiu, who persuaded them to return.
They did not end up boarding the Dragon Emperor Island, but listened to the advice and left.
Thus, they avoided a killing disaster.
Right now, this group of young men were seething with anger, the killing intent in their chests nearly spilling out, but they were still held back by a few sensible divisional leaders and heavenly prides, not letting them go haywire.
……
Yu Xiaolong did not explain.
Meng Ran, Zhao Qingyu, Han Yi, and the rest of them didn’t explain either.
Although Zhang Zhong and the others must have misunderstood.
But in Meng Ran’s and their minds, it was also true that the reason why Wang Xiu was in such a life-or-death situation as he was now was because of them.
If it wasn’t for saving them.
Perhaps ……
All of this would not have been the case.
……
This Day.
The snow had stopped snowing for some days, and the sunlight fell on those glaciers, reflecting a blinding light.
Suddenly.
The snow fell without warning.
The sun shone even brighter than before.
It even directly illuminated the ten thousand miles of ocean.
Two figures appeared on the deserted island.
Both were women.
One had a head full of white hair, with a cool temperament, like the Immortal of Broad Cold, and wherever her gaze reached, it was as if even the void was frozen.
The other one is a green dress, standing with his hands in the air, his eyebrows are proud and indifferent, his body is exquisite, magnificent, only the waist with an axe, it looks quite strange.
All the chatter above this sea area stopped.
Countless gazes fell over.
The atmosphere was tense to the extreme.
“The Earth Immortal Ancestor of the Three Clear Immortal Sect is here …… Shouldn’t he be making a move?”
“Hiss, this is going to be lively!”
“……”
Luo Binglan stood with her hands in the air, looking around the crowd, her eyes landing on Yu Xiaolong’s body, “Where is the person?”
Yu Xiaolong lowered his head and remained silent for a long time before saying, “Sorry ……”
Boom!
Before the words left his mouth, he flew out heavily, smashing through a small hillside, smoke and dust spread all over.
The crowd was shocked.
This person really dared to make a move, huh?
And it’s still an Earth Immortal striking against a young heavenly pride?
Aren’t they afraid that the forces above the Nine Heavens will come to settle the score with them?
“Stop, how dare you!”
A Saint appeared, the very same Saint realm powerhouse who had followed Jade Xiaolong closely.
He didn’t expect that Luo Binglan would actually dare to make a move.
At once, he was shocked and angry.
Pulling out a jade talisman, he was about to shake people from the Nine Heavens.
Cough cough cough ……
“Stop!”
Jade Xiaolong struggled up from the rubble and wiped away the blood at the corner of his mouth, stopping the old man’s movements.
He then raised his head, looked at the indifferent Luo Binglan, and said, “As long as you feel out of breath, feel free to fight!”
Luo Binglan indifferently said, “You think I don’t dare?”
Yu Xiaolong said, “I took your disciple away from you, and now that I didn’t manage to bring him back, I’ll admit to beating you any way you want!”
Luo Binglan snorted coldly and raised her leg for another kick.
She had beaten up Yu Xiaolong solidly.
Completely reckless.
Watching everyone’s heart skip a beat.
That was, after all, the pride of the Nine Heavens, with unimaginably huge forces behind it.
In case they were really pushed.
It is expected that there will be a vicious battle.
At this time, Meng Ran suddenly stood out, arching his hand and saying, “Senior, I am also responsible for what happened to Brother Wang! He was trying to save us before …… ending up in such a situation, if you want to fight, then even fight us together!”
Han Yi also stood out and said, “And me!”
Zhao Qingyu didn’t say anything, but also walked up to Luo Binglan and made her attitude clear.
Luo Binglan glanced at a few people and hummed, “Relying on the number of people to suppress me? You guys think I wouldn’t dare?”
The few people didn’t say a word.
With their heads lowered, they stood there motionless.
Ultimately.
Luo Binglan still didn’t make a move.
“Tell me everything that happened on the island!”
……
Luo Binglan hadn’t come here specifically to take out her anger.
She also brought a piece of good news.
Wang Xiu’s soul plate left at the Three Clear Immortal Sect was not broken.
This meant that he was still alive.
It’s just that he’s currently nowhere to be found.
A few days later.
The place is getting busier and busier.
The Three Clear Immortal Sects were almost out in force.
A Sage, an Earth Immortal came to this deserted island, and based on the description of Jade Xiaolong’s few people, they conducted a carpet search in the tens of thousands of miles of sea in this radius.
At the same time, they also delved into the layers of emptiness, searching for all sorts of clues and traces.
The main fight was to see a man alive and a corpse dead!
No more.
Also want to see a wisp of Wang Xiu’s residual spirit.
Immediately after.
The rest of the Immortal Sect also came.
The Shu Mountain Immortal Sect’s Li Xuanqi came with two Earth Immortal Ancestors and several saints.
The Dragon Tiger Saint Son, Zhang Yuege, likewise came with his division elders, as well as the Dragon Tiger’s secret recluse talisman, which was able to walk freely in the deep void.
There was also the Mountain and Sea Cave Heaven and the Divine Amazing Cave Heaven.
Almost all of the major forces of the Southern Region Immortal Alliance had come, conducting an unprecedented search and rescue over the North Sea.
Above the North Sea.
On a huge immortal boat.
Ji Zidian, Li Drunken Moon, and the other young celestials had a worried look on their faces, their eyes scanning this vast and endless ocean, and they muttered under their breath, “Senior brother (师弟), where the hell are you?”
