When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 1354 - 866: Yu Tinglian (Part 2)

Xiang Beifei slightly opened his mouth.

Ten years ago, did she go near Jiuzhou just to find herself?

That time she appeared near Zi Hou wasn’t coincidental, but she found him through some sort of guidance.

He took a step forward, looking more closely at this woman.

Even though only half of her body remained, there was still a gentle beauty about her.

He wanted to say something, but hesitated.

He never held much affection for his parents, only a strange obsession.

This obsession wasn’t from his current self, but from his past self.

The two of them remained silent, not knowing how long the silence lasted.

A long time.

"Perhaps he has forgiven you?"

Xiang Beifei smiled gently.

Yu Tinglian looked up at Xiang Beifei.

Looking at this familiar yet strange boy.

She didn’t know why Xiang Beifei would say such a thing.

But when the boy said this, she inexplicably felt at ease.

Very strange.

She clearly didn’t know the other party.

"Do you know him?" Yu Tinglian asked.

"Everyone from Jiuzhou, perhaps I know him." Xiang Beifei said.

A glimmer of hope appeared in Yu Tinglian’s eyes: "If you know him, please tell him I’m very sorry."

Xiang Beifei nodded: "I will."

"Thank you."

Yu Tinglian revealed a gentle half smile.

That half smile was like a spring breeze on the face, capable of melting the ravines filled with ice and snow.

"I’ll take you to find that person."

She put her hood back on, her mood seemingly improved, turned and headed towards the static, emaciated old man.

Xiang Beifei followed.

Xiaohei lay on Xiang Beifei’s shoulder, asking: "Why not tell her that you’re the person she’s looking for?"

"Some words, I hope she’ll say herself."

Xiang Beifei looked at the woman’s back.

He knew what he needed to do.

——

They stopped not far from the motionless, emaciated old man.

The emaciated old man still stood there, his expression resolute as he gazed ahead, as if staring at something, or perhaps guarding something.

"We can’t go further." Yu Tinglian said.

"Why?"

"Because the time flow there is different. In Edge Corner Airspace, one day is just a breath there. If you enter and talk with the person for a few hours, by the time you return, thousands of years could have passed in Edge Corner Airspace, you surely won’t want that to happen." Yu Tinglian explained.

"What should we do then?"

"I’ll give him a signal to see if he’s willing to come out."

Yu Tinglian stretched out her fair hand, then pointed forward!

Buzz!

The reverse Heavenly Dao Laws began to spin, transforming into a special stream of light, darting into that region in a very twisted manner.

As this Heavenly Dao Law appeared, various sharp cries immediately sounded around again, but were swept away by this twisted Heavenly Dao power, and soon it transmitted in, landing in the emaciated old man’s region.

About a quarter of an hour passed, the emaciated old man seemed to change his posture, then transformed into a stream of light, vanishing into the chaotic mist, and by the time he reappeared, he was already in front of Xiang Beifei and the others.

"Daoist Yu, is there some trouble here?" the emaciated old man asked.

"Uh... hello, I’m not aware of your esteemed name..." Yu Tinglian seemed a bit embarrassed, she didn’t know the other person’s name.

"No problem, just call me Daoist Xuan." The emaciated old man appeared used to this, and added: "Have you forgotten something again?"

Yu Tinglian shook her head, pointed to Xiang Beifei: "This time, it’s him, he’s from Edge Corner Airspace."

Daoist Xuan turned towards Xiang Beifei, his eyes brightening, he appeared joyful and excitedly asked: "A new Protector from Edge Corner Airspace? We’ve always lacked manpower, severely lacking manpower."

"I just..."

Xiang Beifei was about to explain, but Daoist Xuan had already walked to his side, patting Xiang Beifei’s shoulder, saying: "You came at the right time! Protecting the order of Heavenly Dao Laws is every Protector’s responsibility! We must never retreat, for behind us are countless races and beings!"

His voice was enthusiastic and impassioned, for him, this was a noble profession, one that could be safeguarded with life!

Xiang Beifei wisely did not interrupt.

Daoist Xuan spoke at length, then said: "You managed to get here, which means you at least Merged Dao! Your cultivation and talent are top-notch, what Heavenly Dao do you cultivate?"

"I’m Human Race." Xiang Beifei said.

"Human Dao?"

Daoist Xuan suddenly realized, he then looked at Yu Tinglian and said: "So, you’ve come to take over from their couple?"

"Couple?"

Yu Tinglian found it strange.

What does couple mean?

"Take over from them?" Xiang Beifei was even more surprised and said, "You mean Xiang Tianxing, right?"

"Yes, it seems you indeed came to take over from them. Their couple’s condition isn’t great. As Protectors, ultimately there’s a day of martyrdom, we just hope to find successors before martyrdom."

"Martyrdom?" Xiang Beifei frowned.

"As Protectors, we understand the magnitude of this responsibility. When we choose to become Protectors, it means we will spend our remaining days here, guarding the world’s last line of defense! When we’re eroded by chaotic forces, that’s also the time of martyrdom, as long as we protect our world, it counts as a worthy death."

Daoist Xuan spoke with righteous conviction.

Discussing these matters, he felt no fear, instead resolutely fulfilling his duties.

Xiang Beifei pressed his lips tightly and said: "Are you so certain there will always be someone from Edge Corner Airspace willing to become a Protector?"

"Becoming a Protector is a responsibility all races must shoulder! They must select a Protector, one who possesses responsibility, has unwavering determination to ensure the world’s continuity! Before you came here, did your clan leader not inform you of all this?" Daoist Xuan asked.

"I came here accidentally, no one informed me of this." Xiang Beifei shook his head.

Daoist Xuan was astonished: "How is that possible? What about the Dao Palace? The Dao Palace surely would inform you of these things, right?"

"Dao Palace? The Dao Palace under Houtu Tribe’s rule?" Xiang Beifei raised an eyebrow.

"Dao Palace under Houtu Tribe’s rule, what do you mean? Dao Palace isn’t solely governed by Houtu Tribe, it’s jointly managed by nine major races, established to protect Edge Corner Airspace!" Daoist Xuan explained.

Xiang Beifei said: "Senior doesn’t know about the occurrences in Edge Corner Airspace?"

"What could occur in Edge Corner Airspace?" Daoist Xuan asked.

Xiang Beifei realized something, asking: "How many years has senior guarded this area, away from Edge Corner Airspace?"

"Just two years."

"Two years? No wonder."

Xiang Beifei nodded thoughtfully.

Where Daoist Xuan resided, time passed slowly, he’d only been there for two years, yet tens of thousands of years had gone by in Edge Corner Airspace!

During these tens of thousands of years, Edge Corner Airspace had already transformed greatly!

The Dao Palace, is no longer the Dao Palace it once was.

"Edge Corner Airspace has completely changed."

Xiang Beifei extended his finger, pointing out a light particle, he collected all his known memories within it, handing it to Daoist Xuan.

He knew Daoist Xuan would process them, Daoist Xuan also merged Dao, with extremely strong abilities, accepting these memories would be instant.

"How did this happen? Impossible! How could Houtu dare to do such a thing!"

Daoist Xuan’s face instantly showed anger!

"The key isn’t what he did, but now he’s driven by me into the Chaotic Zone, I need to find him and kill him." Xiang Beifei said.

But Daoist Xuan suddenly changed color: "He merged Three Creates All Things and Withered Spirit at the End? That’s bad!"
