Chapter 613: 613 Yunjing Incident! [1 more]

Zhu Qingxian couldn’t dare to imagine any further, her fingers trembling incessantly.

Yunjing is the stronghold of the Five Great Families, and the headquarters of the 723 Bureau is also located here, making it the strongest deployed area in the Shenzhou Land Continent.

Even the Global Center would not easily send people to infiltrate Yunjing, or else the result could very likely be "a loss for trying to steal a small advantage."

Why would that group choose to head towards Yunjing at this time?

Zhu Qingxian’s body shook violently; her cold hands suddenly grabbed Kang Mufeng’s shoulders, her lips trembling: "Mufeng, we... we must go to Yunjing, even if we expose anything, we must ensure Ah Lan’s safety!"

"I know," Kang Mufeng replied, his eyes deep, "Even if we die, we must ensure the safety of Jiayan’s daughter."

Because only they knew what exactly Ye Wanlan’s identity was, and how important it was.

The two of them did not stop any longer and immediately headed towards Yunjing.

This night was not peaceful, but most people were immersed in beautiful dreams, awaiting tomorrow’s rising sun.

This night, Ye Wanlan was trying to communicate with the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl.

She could already integrate her Inner Strength with the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl, but she was still unable to mobilize the pearl’s energy.

Ye Wanlan slowly opened her eyes, her eyebrows tightly furrowed.

"Miss Ye, do not rush," Rong Qi brought over tea and refreshments, comforting her, "After all, the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl is a Penglai Holy Object, and since the Penglai lineage is severed, it’s difficult for us to know how to use it."

Ye Wanlan shook her head gently, speaking softly, "The Penglai lineage is not severed, it’s just..."

Only she knew that the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl had once drawn upon a tremendous force from Heaven and Earth. Although the pearl did not vanish, it must have had some of its power sealed because of that act.

Xie Linyuan and Hua Yingyue were also sitting crossed-legged on either side of Ye Wanlan, carefully examining the deep blue pearl.

"Little Junior Sister, even with the power of Penglai Magic, you cannot drive the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl?" asked Xie Linyuan, "It’s a pity that the three Penglai Holy Objects are generally not shown to others; I’ve never seen how they use the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl."

Hua Yingyue nodded, "I’ve only heard of it, and this is indeed the first time I am seeing the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl."

"Perhaps my Penglai Magic has yet to reach a higher realm." Ye Wanlan sighed softly, "Indeed, we cannot rush things."

She looked up and smiled at Rong Qi: "Young Master Rong Qi, I would like to leave the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl here in the back mountain for the time being, to let it absorb the essence of Heaven and Earth. I’ll be troubling you during these few days."

"The task Miss Ye entrusts to me, I will devote myself fully," replied Rong Qi, clasping his hands together.

"Having the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl here gives me great peace of mind," Ye Wanlan smiled, "I wonder if Young Master Rong Qi could take me to meet the Supreme Elder?"

"Of course," said Rong Qi, "Miss Ye, this way please."

Ye Wanlan followed Rong Qi to the residence of the Supreme Elder of the Rong Family.

"It’s Miss Ye and Xiao Qi, eh?" the Supreme Elder of the Rong family swept up his fishing rod, tossing a large fish he caught into the basket, and said with a beaming smile, "What is the matter?"

Ye Wanlan asked, "Senior, can you see that the presence of the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl has attracted some people’s attention?"

Hearing this question, the Supreme Elder of the Rong Family’s expression became slightly solemn: "Correct, observing the Star Disk at night, I indeed saw a dark star approaching Shenzhou, but I cannot determine which power this dark star belongs to."

With that, he sighed deeply.

The world nowadays really is becoming more and more mysterious and unpredictable, and there’s increasingly less that our path can perceive.

"Actually, we don’t need to deliberately calculate. Many things can be concluded upon careful thought," Ye Wanlan smiled slightly, "To whom would the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl pose the greatest threat?"

Rong Qi raised an eyebrow: "The mysterious tribes of the Nanling Sea?"

"Yes," Ye Wanlan said lightly, "So, I speculate that this dark star probably comes from the bottom of the Nanling Sea, as they want to take the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl."

The facial expression of the Supreme Elder of the Rong Family changed: "Miss Ye plans to...?"

"I have placed the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl in the Rong Family, they won’t be able to find it, but if they can’t, they will surely turn Yunjing upside down," Ye Wanlan said lightly, "That’s why I want the Supreme Elder to create an illusion that the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl is on me."

"No, absolutely not!" Before the Supreme Elder of the Rong family could speak, Rong Qi decisively refused, "if they really come, doing such would bring great danger to Miss Ye, and if we wait until Brother Yan comes back..."

"It’s okay, that’s my plan," Ye Wanlan calmly stated, "If he comes back and tries to beat you up, I’ll help block him."

Rong Qi: "..."

This was not at all about whether he would get beaten up or not.

The Supreme Elder of the Rong Family pondered for a moment and finally nodded, "If Miss Ye insists on doing so, then I shall follow Miss Ye’s command."

Ye Wanlan smiled faintly, "Thank you, Supreme Elder."

**

The slightly salty scent of the ocean swept through Yunjing, but nobody knew that there were creatures unlike humans among them.

Once on shore, this mysterious group looked no different from humans, solely judging by appearance, there was no difference.

The young man looked at the compass in his hand, confirming the location of the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl: "You have been ashore before, check what place this is."

A young man stepped forward: "Reporting to Lord Owens, this is the Lin Family’s territory."

"How come it’s the Lin Family again?" The young man looked at the compass, snorted coldly, "Although I was not born forty years ago, I’ve heard enough about the outside matters, this Lin Family does not seem to be anything good."

Another young man’s eyes shifted: "Lord Owens, the Lin Family is afraid of us. Since the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl is in the Lin Family, why don’t we just go directly there and make them hand over the Ocean Stabilizing Pearl."

"Oh?" The young man looked contemplative, "Your method makes some sense, let’s go to the Lin Family now. If the Lin Family is sensible, we can also offer them some benefits. Let’s go."

The three quickly disappeared in the crowd without attracting any attention.

On the other side, at the Yunjing Lin Family.

Lin Zhushuang was in the Sacrificial Hall, discussing important matters with the three Great Protectors.

"Supreme Elder, three Great Protectors!" Just then, the Chief Guard rushed in, dripping with sweat and visibly panicked, "Something has happened!"

"What has happened?" Lin Zhushuang’s smile vanished in an instant, "Didn’t you see that I was discussing important matters with the three Great Protectors?"

"Zhushuang," Lin Nanzhu shook his head, "lately your temper has really worsened, we Musician of Heavenly Sound need to cultivate our hearts, you haven’t encountered a bottleneck yet, be careful of the hurdles that are hard to overcome later!"

Lin Zhushuang immediately subdued her temper, respectfully and humbly responded, "You are right."

"Speak," Lin Nanzhu nodded towards the Chief Guard, "What has happened that you are so flustered?"

The Chief Guard lowered his head, voice trembling: "Those people... those people, they have come again! But... but they didn’t harm anyone, it seems they have come to demand something."

"!!!"

Lin Zhushuang abruptly stood up: "What did you say? Those people from over forty years ago?"

The three Great Protectors exchanged looks, also somewhat disbelieving.

Forty years ago, mysterious people had sought the Lin Family, demanding they hand over Lin Weilan and Lin Jiayan.

At that time, the Patriarch of the Lin family was severely injured by the leader of the opponents, and Lin Weilan was gravely hurt in that battle, which became a haunting trauma for the older generation of the Lin Family.

It’s just that too much time had passed, and their fear of the event had gradually faded.

"The three Great Protectors, I’ve said it before, that Ye Wanlan is a scourge!" Lin Zhushuang gritted her teeth, "Before she returned to the Lin family, such incidents never occurred; how come as soon as she comes back, those people show up at our door?"

The Great Protector played with the beads in his hand: "Call Ye Wanlan over first, we absolutely cannot start a conflict with that group."

They would absolutely not allow the events of forty years ago to happen again!

Sacrificing Ye Wanlan, who has not shown any utility yet, is not really a significant matter.
