Rebirth: The Time-locked Girl-Chapter 848 You are indeed still alive [ - 2]

"Buzzing——"

The sound of the wind resonated through the space, echoing throughout the Great Rift Valley.

Yan Tingfeng slowly stood up, his coat tails unmoving in the fierce wind, as if frozen in place.

Though there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, there was no fear or dread: "So, you’re still alive."

"You didn’t die, so how could I?" The newcomer sneered at the words, "Master of Highest Heaven Tower, you’ve never crossed swords with me. On what grounds do you sit in the position of Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch?!"

He finally turned around, revealing his face to the air.

If Lin Fanyin, Yue Zheng, Huo Jingyu, Xie Linyuan, and others were present, they would instantly recognize him as an old acquaintance.

The former Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch, Gui Qing!

In previous years, he practiced evil, demonic cultivation techniques like the Blood Soul Technique, which led him to become possessed and become the greatest demon terrorizing the Jianghu. ƒгeewebnovёl_com

The Six Great Sects combined their efforts to force him back, severely injure him, and drive him out of Shenzhou.

Back then, Gui Qing’s meridians were completely severed, leaving him gravely injured and on the brink of death, with only days to live.

No one would have thought that Gui Qing not only survived but lived for so long.

However, his current appearance was neither human nor ghostly, his face sunken, cheekbones protruding, presenting a very frightening visage.

Gui Qing was entirely shrouded in a black cloak, tugging at the corners of his mouth, his smile sinister: "It seems the Master of Highest Heaven Tower has forgotten the rules of the Jianghu; if the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch is to be replaced, the successor must defeat the predecessor."

But after he was exiled from Shenzhou by the Six Great Sects, the position of Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch was vacant for four years, until a brilliant young man emerged unexpectedly.

If back then he had the strength to fight, he certainly wouldn’t have allowed a fledgling youngster to take his place!

"Oh?" Yan Tingfeng did not become angry, his smile remaining faint, "It seems you have also forgotten the rules of the Jianghu: whoever’s fist is harder, determines the rules."

Gui Qing’s expression abruptly turned cold, his laugh vanished, and his hollow eyes appeared like two balls of ghostly fire: "Master of Highest Heaven Tower, you’re trying to provoke me, but I’m not falling for it!"

Though he did not accept Yan Tingfeng as Jianghu’s No.1, he was quite wary of the youngest Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch in Jianghu history.

"No wonder you couldn’t be found." Yan Tingfeng replied indifferently, "You only stayed in the Southern Ming Principality for a while before entering Atlantis."

Six hundred years ago, human knowledge of Atlantis was still very limited.

"So what if I did?" Gui Qing suddenly opened his arms, "You drove me out, but I have my own refuge. It’s too late for regrets now!"

Yan Tingfeng’s gaze gradually turned cold and fierce.

"What a pity, what a pity, Master of Highest Heaven Tower, your time is running out." Gui Qing suddenly curled his lips, "Of course, I know you still have the power to kill me, but I won’t give you the opportunity. I will watch till the day your lifespan runs out; by then, the Shenzhou people you protect will all die!"

"Hahahahaha——"

The wild laughter spread throughout the rift, sharp and piercing.

Gui Qing’s arrival was abrupt, and his departure was sudden.

Yan Tingfeng remained standing in place, unmoving, his eyes darkened.

He had suspected that Gui Qing might still be alive, but when the speculation proved true, he felt a certain unease.

Moreover, Gui Qing’s final words revealed his deep-seated hatred towards Shenzhou.

Yan Tingfeng slowly raised his head, looking in the direction Gui Qing left, then glanced at his hand covered with black lines.

Time was running out. He needed to solve all the troubles for Ye Wanlan quickly.

The phone vibrated twice with a "beep beep" at this moment.

Yan Tingfeng looked down to check the message.

[Neptune]: Brother Yan, hey, thanks to Sister YN, I could add you as a friend.

[Yan]: Speak.

[Neptune]: Sister YN has a friend who was captured by Envoy Shenxiu, she’s going alone to Lonely Mountain now.

[Yan]: Understood.

"Strange." Lancelot mumbled as he looked at the two very brief replies, "This brother talks too little, how does he usually communicate with Sister YN? Could it all be through mind communication?"

At this moment, in the Royal Palace, the Beirut King was in a rage: "What are you all doing? Can’t even find one person? Huh?!"

Below him, the guards were kneeling, not daring to lift their heads, trembling all over.

The Beirut King had only given them a name and a photo, which should have made it easy to find, but they searched the Royal City up and down without finding someone named Ye Wanlan.

"What a bunch of useless fools!" The Beirut King roared, "Get out there and continue searching! If you can’t find her within three days, you’ll all face punishment!"

The guards didn’t dare to breathe, quickly scurrying out.

"Worthless!" The Beirut King, still furious, said, "If we can’t find this Ye Wanlan, do you know how much trouble it will cause in the future?"

"Your Majesty." The Queen spoke cautiously from the side, "Though it’s confirmed Ye Wanlan is in Atlantis, if she has changed her appearance, even if we search, we may not find her."

"Then what do you suggest?" The Beirut King’s gaze was extremely cold, "If we can’t find her, we can’t find that bastard, and Cangyuan Country will fall into chaos!"

Of course, he couldn’t tell others the true prophecy of the Cangyuan Great Priest, so he outwardly said that Ye Wanlan would destroy Cangyuan Country; if she lived, others must die.

"Your Majesty, don’t worry." The Queen smiled slightly, "Didn’t Lianhua report that the child went to the Mortal World and even married a human? This means he must have a family on land."

The Beirut King’s eyes flickered: "You mean..."

"No matter how strong humans are, how strong can they be?" The Queen gently said, "Your Majesty only needs to send out two Beta-level Divine Bloodline to catch Ye Wanlan’s family on land, use them as leverage, and she will have no choice but to surface."

"Excellent! Truly excellent!" The Beirut King was overjoyed, "Let’s go with your plan! If this succeeds, you’ll be a great contributor, tell me, what reward do you seek?"

The Queen’s eyes sparkled, she smiled slightly and said, "It’s an honor to assist Your Majesty, there’s no need for a reward."

"Then we’ll wait for success." The Beirut King felt much better, "Go, send someone to the passage, find Ye Wanlan’s human relatives."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The Guard Commander issued the order, and two Beta-level guards immediately volunteered.

Although Atlantians were restricted, it only applied to those above Beta-level Divine Bloodline.

Considering human frailty, not to mention Beta-level, any hint of the bloodline would overpower humans.

The Beirut King sat quietly on his throne, awaiting the arrival of good news.

This passage connects the Royal Palace to Yunjing, reaching the land takes only a few seconds.

Envoy Lianhua mentioned in intelligence through Miao Yin that Ye Wanlan belongs to the Yunjing Lin Family, but she didn’t grow up with them and isn’t close; her only real family is her Uncle Lin Huaijin and his family.

The two guards exchanged a glance and headed immediately for Lin Huaijin’s residence according to the intelligence route.

At this moment, Lin Huaijin had just finished preparing lunch.

"Uncle Lin, your cooking skills are getting better and better." Xiang Shaoyu laughed, "It’s a life blessing to come here and freeload a meal."

Huo Yunyi said nothing, nodding in agreement.

"Freshly made, dig in." Lin Huaijin, greatly pleased, said with a smile, "You’ve been busy with training missions lately, eat more."

Only after Xiang Shaoyu had gracefully eaten ten bowls of rice did he feel no longer hungry.

He put down his chopsticks and said, "Uncle Lin, Miss Ye appeared a few days ago and brought back the Grand Ancestor’s treasure; you needn’t worry much."

"Ah, kids out there, how can a guardian ever truly be at ease?" Lin Huaijin sighed, "I also worry about Peiqing, afraid something might happen to her."

Xiang Shaoyu was about to speak when his expression suddenly froze.

Huo Yunyi also raised his head.

The two simultaneously looked towards the door.

Lin Huaijin hadn’t sensed anything wrong, he felt a bit puzzled, "Eat, if it’s not enough, there’s more..."

"Boom!"

The door was blasted open by a surge of air.
