Spoiled By the Young Master After Reborn In the 80s

Chapter 1047: One thousand and forty-five, suspicion

The innkeeper crouched under the table, clutching his head in panic as he saw both sides about to fight. If it had been anyone else, he would have stepped forward to intervene long ago, but since the opposing party belonged to one of the Top Ten Sects, he couldn’t utter a word even if they flattened the inn.

Seeing the crowd charge forward, Luo Shu raised her hand and snapped her fingers. Instantly, the ten disciples rushing toward her froze in place, as if bound by a Binding Technique.

At the same time the group was immobilized, Lu Hanmo tapped his toes lightly on the ground, propelling himself into a spinning aerial kick that sent all ten disciples flying.

The two worked seamlessly together; before the crowd could even react, the battle had already ended.

"Did you notice those people freezing at the same time just now?"

"Of course I noticed! If I’m not mistaken, this must be the legendary Time Divine Ability."

"The battle ended so quickly. I blinked, and it was over—what just happened?" The onlookers began to chatter incessantly. No matter where you were, there were always those willing to risk danger for the sake of watching the action unfold.

Elder Tian’s heart was filled with shock. He had seen it clearly—Luo Shu had indeed employed the Time Divine Ability. Could they have entered the Time Prairie? Even though the Immortal Ship had docked near the Time Prairie this time, its entrance had been nowhere in sight. How had they managed to get in?

Turning to look at the stunned Elder Guo standing nearby, he asked, "Did they enter the Time Prairie?"

Elder Guo snapped back to reality and shook his head. Luo Shu and her companions had left for a while after the Immortal Ship came to a halt, but the timing of their return hadn’t aligned with when the entrance to the Time Prairie closed.

"Are we continuing this?" Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo looked toward Elder Tian and Elder Guo. This time, they had merely wanted to teach the members of the Sky Water Sect a minor lesson. As long as the other party refrained from provoking them further, they had no intention of dragging it out and escalating the situation to an all-out, no-mercy battle.

Elder Tian and Elder Guo exchanged glances before signaling the disciples who had just gotten back onto their feet to leave. They then began walking toward the exit. With the other party possessing the Time Divine Ability, killing them would be as easy as turning their hand. For cultivators, life and death could often be decided within a millisecond.

Watching the Sky Water Sect members depart, Elder Wu also turned and headed outside. This matter would require reporting to the Sect Leader for further deliberation.

Elder Li cast a fearful glance at Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo before following after Elder Wu. Unknowingly, the two had already grown to a level he could no longer hope to reach.

Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo withdrew their gazes and exchanged a smile before heading upstairs. Now, they only had to wait for Yun Han to finish refining the Immortal Ship. Once completed, they could travel to the Dragon Clan’s base. With the Time Stone in hand, they believed Yun Han wouldn’t need much time to finish refining the ship.

Elder Guo and Elder Tian returned to the Sky Water Sect and immediately reported the recent events to their Sect Leader, Dongfang Sheng.

Upon hearing their account, Dongfang Sheng was taken aback. "You’re certain she used the Time Divine Ability?" So far, there had only been two individuals who had comprehended the Time Divine Ability: the Phoenix Clan Queen Feng Yunhai and her husband Huang Qianshan. However, both had fallen during the treasure-seizing battle 100,000 years ago.

The treasure-seizing battle had been extraordinarily brutal, with countless powerful figures meeting their end. In the end, the victors were the Four Great Families: the Huo Family, Feng Family, Shui Family, and Lei Family—along with the now-extinct Dragon Clan.

If the other party could wield the Time Divine Ability and had cultivated so rapidly, could it be that she was the reincarnation of Feng Yunhai? This possibility made Dongfang Sheng frown. If his suspicions were correct, then Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo would be individuals he absolutely must avoid provoking.

Thinking this over, Dongfang Sheng turned to Elder Tian and Elder Guo. "This matter ends here!"

"Sect Leader! Do you mean we won’t invite Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo to the Sky Water Sect or investigate their secrets further?" Elder Tian asked. After encountering Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo himself, his curiosity about their secrets had only grown.

Dongfang Sheng nodded firmly. "It ends here!" Whether his suspicions were accurate or not, he wanted no further entanglement with Lu Hanmo and Luo Shu. Both Feng Yunhai and Huang Qianshan had been among the Nine Great War Gods of ancient times, their powers far beyond the reach of the Sky Water Sect.

"Understood!" Elder Tian reluctantly agreed, though he felt unsatisfied. Since the Sect Leader had already given his orders, he had no choice but to comply.

The events at the Fragrant Snow Inn soon spread across the Heaven Realm. Other Top Ten Sects had heard from disciples who had come from the Earth Realm that Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo had clashed with members of the Sky Water Sect and Great Mahayana Island.

What surprised them was that the two Major Sects sent people to deal with Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo, only to suffer a complete defeat. This piqued their interest in Luo Shu and Lu Hanmo. However, interest was one thing—they had no intention of provoking the duo and risking becoming laughingstocks like the Sky Water Sect and Great Mahayana Island.

Situ Youming listened to Elder Li and Elder Wu’s report, his face darkened to the point where it seemed it might drip water. Irritated, he waved his hand toward the two. "Leave!"

"Yes!" Elder Li and Elder Wu acknowledged his order and retreated.

Situ Youming clenched his fists tightly, a cold gleam flashing in his slightly narrowed eyes. Turning, he walked deeper into the great hall.

Arriving at a room secured by a massive bronze lock, Situ Youming retrieved a Bronze Key and advanced to unlock the door.

"Creak!" With a sound, the tightly closed door swung open.

Situ Youming stepped into the room. After shutting the door behind him, he raised his hand and threw out several Formation Flags.

The Formation Flags landed, triggering a radiant circle of light to materialize before him.

Situ Youming stepped into the circle, and in the next instant, his figure vanished within the radiance.

Emerging from the circle, Situ Youming found himself standing before an enormous altar. At the center of the altar rested a Crystal Ball radiating silver-white light.

"Master!" Situ Youming bowed respectfully toward the direction of the altar.

A shadowy black figure flashed out from the Crystal Ball and looked down at Situ Youming. "Did you discover anything?"

"To report to Master: I’ve found that a female cultivator has mastered the Time Divine Ability. I suspect she may be the reincarnation of Feng Yunhai," Situ Youming stated with deference.

"So she’s returned?" the shadow chuckled darkly.

"Her identity is not yet confirmed, but her cultivation speed is astonishing. She has reached the Immortal Emperor Stage in less than six years since ascending to the Immortal Realm," Situ Youming replied. From Elder Wu and Elder Li, he had confirmed her cultivation was indeed Immortal Emperor Stage.

"It seems she is indeed the one," the shadow said grimly. "I’m still recovering, so you’ll monitor her for me. When we meet again, I will utterly destroy her Soul and ensure she never reincarnates again."

"Understood, Master!" Situ Youming responded reverently. "Master, aside from her, the male cultivator accompanying her is also extraordinary. He ascended to the Immortal Realm alongside her and has also reached Immortal Emperor Stage."

"Could it be that he’s returned as well?" The shadow murmured, deep in thought.

"He?" Situ Youming asked in confusion.

"Feng Yunhai’s husband, Huang Qianshan—the master of the Chaos Mountain and River Map," the shadow replied coldly. By Huang Qianshan’s devotion to Feng Yunhai, the man by her side must certainly be him.
