Supreme Alchemist-Chapter 1474 - 1464: Secret Probe (Part Four)_1

Inside the courtyard.

"I only have this here, though it’s not as good as the one you brought out, it’s quite good too. Try it."

Nalan Jie personally poured a cup of wine for Long Yan, indicating for Long Yan to taste it.

"Okay."

Long Yan was not one for pretense. He picked up the Purple Jade Wine Glass, gently sniffed it at the tip of his nose, and took a small sip.

"Good wine, top quality!"

Long Yan said slowly after savoring it for a while.

Indeed, it was not as good as the divine brew he had gotten from the Tomb King, but it was a top-quality wine, something not everyone could drink.

Nalan Jie smiled. This was something he had obtained from ancient relics about which he usually didn’t dare to drink.

"Kid, I didn’t expect your background to be so grand. I misjudged you."

Nalan Jie said with a smile.

"What grand background I have, senior you are joking."

Long Yan laughed and cried out. If he had a grand background, he wouldn’t be hunted and always on the edge of danger in the Sealed Gods Ancient Road.

"Although I don’t understand the situation in the Emperor Domain, I do know some things about you. You are a member of the Jiu Xuan Imperial Family and also a part of the Ten Thousand Merchant Alliance, am I right?"

Nalan Jie had specifically investigated Long Yan and learned about Long Yan’s identity through some channels.

"I won’t deny the Ten Thousand Merchant Alliance, as I do have some ties with it. But I have absolutely no ties with the Jiu Xuan Imperial Family. I severed all relations with the Jiu Xuan Imperial Family long ago."

Since Nalan Jie already knew, Long Yan felt no need to hide anymore and told him outrightly.

"Oh?"

Nalan Jie was slightly surprised at hearing this, but he didn’t ask any further. He changed the subject, saying: "One month ago, all forces tried to get the Order of the Holy Fire from you. Even the Black Sorcerer King from the Death God Pavilion showed up personally. The woman who saved you in the end is not simple, right?"

It was clear that he was probing Long Yan.

After the Flying Sky God Tiger and Lingxi showed up, all forces were trying to gather information but they came up empty-handed.

"Hehe."

Long Yan laughed but neither denied nor confirmed it. He naturally knew that Nalan Jie was probing him.

"Senior, you did not come here just for this, did you?"

Fat Cat and Lingxi have already returned to the Holy Domain. He couldn’t rely on them, naturally, he couldn’t tell the truth either. With Fat Cat and Lingxi’s might, at least it would make some people think twice.

"Of course not, I was just asking casually, out of curiosity."

Nalan Jie laughed it off, smoothed it over, and then said, "You know, you are now the Important figure on the Sealed Gods Ancient Road, unmatched by anyone."

He was just probing Long Yan. Since Long Yan was unwilling to reveal anything, he couldn’t continue asking either. He could only change the topic to cover his awkwardness.

"How did that happen?"

Long Yan raised his eyebrows and had already guessed something in his mind.

"Not long ago, you went to the Mixed Time and Space, ascended the Divine Tomb Heavenly Ladder, reaching an unprecedented height, surpassing everyone. It would be hard for you to not become famous."

Nalan Jie said with a smile.

"I see."

Long Yan’s guess was also due to this. He laughed bitterly, "Being famous is a trouble, and this is not a good thing. I suppose many people are now quietly plotting against me, right?"

The fact that the conversation had come this far meant that Long Yan naturally knew what Nalan Jie was about to say next, he was definitely trying to probe what he got from the Mixed Time and Space.

Probably not just Nalan Jie, all the major forces and those loose cultivator strong ones were probably speculating about what he got from the Mixed Time and Space and they were all secretly plotting against him.

The controversy over the Order of the Holy Fire had just passed, and another one came. Indeed, as one wave settles, another one rises.

Exactly as Long Yan guessed, Nalan Jie started probing him.

"The Divine Tomb Heavenly Ladder is the only path close to the Divine Tomb. Now, the Divine Tomb Heavenly Ladder has collapsed and there is no other way to get close to the Divine Tomb. You’re the only one who has ascended to the top of the Divine Tomb Heavenly Ladder and it was after you ascended that the Divine Tomb Heavenly Ladder collapsed. You must have learned something, right?"

After saying that, Nalan Jie was observing changes in Long Yan’s expression in the dark, hoping to gain something from it.

However, he was disappointed.

"I’m puzzled too. I just reached the top and the Divine Tomb Heavenly Ladder suddenly collapsed. I was almost buried alive."

Long Yan had a gloomy face and said: "It is said that reaching the top of the Divine Tomb Heavenly Ladder allows entrance into the Divine Tomb. I struggled to climb up there thinking I could gain some benefits from inside the Divine Tomb but the heavens played a joke on me. If I had known, I wouldn’t have gone."

What he obtained must have something to do with the Divine Tomb, but what exactly the relationship is, he had not yet figured it out.

But, that thing was definitely more precious than the Order of Holy Fire. He didn’t want to be hunted by everyone on the Sealed Gods Ancient Road again.

That thing must not be exposed.

"This is indeed a bit strange."

Nalan Jie said: "Logically, reaching the top of the Divine Tomb Heavenly Ladder means getting close to the Divine Tomb, the Divine Tomb should be accessible. It might be due to some condition not being met, perhaps your strength is not enough."

Although Nalan Jie couldn’t detect anything wrong from Long Yan’s expression, he didn’t believe that Long Yan really got nothing, so he continued to probe Long Yan.

"There’s no chance now. The Heavenly Ladder of Divine Tomb has collapsed. Besides, even if the Divine Tomb Heavenly Ladder reappears, I don’t want to be buried alive again."

Long Yan effortlessly deflected his comments.

Seeing that Long Yan was watertight, Nalan Jie gave up probing and merely reminded Long Yan:"If you really got something, you must take good care of it. Currently, everyone in the Sealed Gods Ancient Road is watching you."

He was only probing Long Yan. Even if Long Yan really got something, he wouldn’t covet it, just like the Order of the Holy Fire back then.

"It seems that I have to find an opportunity to clear my name. Otherwise, this scapegoating is not light."

Long Yan was still watertight, not letting Nalan Jie see any flaws.

"What are your plans next?"

Nalan Jie directly changed the topic. He knew that even if he probed further, there would be no results.

Long Yan was much more cunning than he thought.

"I’ve found the Life Essence Liquid, achieved my purpose on the Sealed Gods Ancient Road. Next, I plan to find a way to return to the Emperor Domain."

This was his true plan.

The Life Essence of Bai Ling was locked by God Prohibition Stone, the more time dragged on, the more danger Bai Ling faced.

"This might be difficult. Many people are harbouring the same idea. Especially the major forces, they’re all trying to find a way back to the Emperor Domain, but for ten thousand years, not a single person has been able to break free."

Nalan Jie directly gave Long Yan a reality check.

This was definitely not intended to undermine Long Yan’s confidence. The incident at the Sealed Gods Ancient Road was too strange. It directly severed the connection between the major forces and the Emperor Domain.

For ten thousand years, all the major forces tried every possible means, but they still couldn’t break free and return to the Emperor Domain.

Long Yan wanted to return to the Emperor Domain, it was probably just wishful thinking, and not realistic.
