Chapter 99 - A Gentlemen's Revenge Is Never too Late

“Guys, look at the sky!”

The square was in a hubbub. Just as everyone was discussing, they heard a cry of surprise and quickly followed the sound.

The immortal sound was ethereal, and not far away, purple clouds came from the East. It was mighty and instantly attracted everyone’s attention and eyes. The purple clouds in the clouds were particularly eye-catching as if something was flying from it.

Upon closer inspection, they were actually dozens of immortal cranes. Their bodies were covered in purple clouds as they stepped on the clouds and slowly landed on the high platform.

Since ancient times, red-crowned cranes had been described as auspicious omens, but now they were few in number. Moreover, these red-crowned cranes looked glossy and smooth, their feathers were pure white and flawless, and their bodies were filled with spiritual energy.

“There are still people up there.”

The crowd then noticed that there was actually someone sitting on the crane.

“Just what kind of person is he? To think that he could actually ride a crane here. I don’t think the so-called immortal in the clouds is anything more than this.”

The people who came down from the red-crowned cranes were a group of young disciples. The men were handsome and the women were beautiful. They were all dressed in white, and they looked even more celestial. Most importantly, each of them had extraordinary cultivation.

Following the lead of the old man, he entered the high platform, leaving only his figure in everyone’s endless reverie.

“So they’re from the Yaochi Holy Land. No wonder they have such an extraordinary bearing.”

Ye Xuan found that among those people, there was a particularly familiar back. He subconsciously looked at Lin Yuanheng and, as expected, saw his expression change slightly.

He didn’t expect Lin Qingxue, who had broken off the engagement, to be among them!

As if sensing Ye Xuan’s worried gaze, Lin Yuanheng’s expression returned to normal. He assured, “Elder Ye, don’t worry. I’m fine.”

Ye Xuan nodded and said, “Don’t worry, your future achievements will definitely be higher than hers.”

What a joke. This was the male protagonist with a secret weapon who broke off his engagement. How could a mere fiancée stop Lin Yuanheng’s path?

Although he knew about Lin Yuanheng’s secret weapon, Ye Xuan did not covet it. After all, with the system, no matter how powerful his secret weapon was, it was nothing to Ye Xuan.

“But looking at the current situation, Lin Qingxue’s status in the Yaochi Holy Land is quite high. You may meet her in the future, so you can’t lose yourself.”

In the face of Ye Xuan’s kind reminder, Lin Yuanheng expressed that he understood.

“Don’t worry, Elder Ye. I will look at the big picture.” He couldn’t help but touch the ring on his finger as he meaningfully said, “After all, it’s not the time yet.”

Following that, the people from the Misty Illusory Manor, Heaven Sect, Infinity Sect, and the other sects appeared one after another. Each sect was bigger than the last, and everyone’s eyes were dazzled and their hearts yearned for it.

Before anyone could react, a mark appeared in the sky. It seemed to be a casual stroke, and then the mark gradually became heavier, as if a pair of invisible hands were waving wantonly, forming a complicated pattern.

The sky was the paper, and the sun and moon were the ink. How domineering was this? It was to the point that everyone’s eyes were wide open.

“What is this? I actually don’t recognize it.”

The crowd below the stage pointed at the sky and looked for a long time, but they couldn’t figure out what the word was.

“That is the Dao!”

Those who were familiar with the ancient text came back to their senses. After the others looked at it, they also sighed, “It really is the word ‘Dao’.”

It turned out that it was written in ancient characters. No wonder so many people present couldn’t recognize it.

The words were written with a silver touch and the brush was like a dragon or a snake. The lines seemed ordinary, but they revealed an indescribable charm. Every time the audience saw it, they could get a different experience.

The black-and-white world between the lines constructed the rhythm of the great Dao, making people involuntarily immerse their entire minds in it, wanting to figure out the truth within.

However, how could the great Dao be so easy to comprehend? Forcibly trying to comprehend it would only cause one to sink deep into it. Those with insufficient cultivation would be affected by this character.

Many people were either sitting cross-legged in deep thought or crying and laughing at the same time. For a moment, the myriad of expressions of all living beings was vividly displayed in the square.

However, very few people were able to maintain their consciousness, and Ye Xuan was one of them.

“What is Dao!”

A question resounded through the universe, it was so loud that even the deaf could hear the question. The deafening question seemed as if it was going to soar into the Nine Heavens and let the heavens hear. It was so loud that everyone in the square seemed to wake up from a dream and revealed ashamed expressions when they saw their loss of self-control.

Many people had blank expressions on their faces as they asked themselves in their hearts, ‘What exactly was Dao?’

Hearing this voice, Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows. Why did it sound so familiar?

“It’s the Dao Seeking Sect, right? No wonder they are one of the strongest sects. This is no small matter.”

A group of people entered the high platform. They were dressed in black and white clothes, which looked like the Tai Chi Yin Yang Eight Trigrams pattern. They contained the supreme Great Dao, which made people yearn for it.

The leading elder was the great elder of the Dao Seeking Sect. His hands were wrapped in white cloth.

Ye Xuan’s pupils suddenly shrank. He suddenly remembered that night, someone had come to kill him because of the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram. However, the light was dim, so he couldn’t see the face of the person clearly.

If Ye Xuan remembered correctly, that person had also been injured by the Sword Qi in the exact place where the great elder wrapped his hands. Coupled with the familiar voice, the assassin’s identity was now known to Ye Xuan.

“Good, I was just worried that I couldn’t find you, but I didn’t expect you to deliver yourself to me.”

Ye Xuan’s eyes were burning with intensity. He had always believed in taking revenge. Even if he was the Dao Seeking Sect’s great elder, so what if there was a difference in strength between the two? It didn’t mean that there was no way Ye Xuan could go against him in the future.

He had almost lost his life that night. He would remember this grudge!

It was never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Sooner or later, he would have to get back at this person.

Cultivators were the most sensitive, not to mention that it was someone with high cultivation like the great elder. He seemed to have sensed something and suddenly turned around, only to see the eyes of the crowd below the stage filled with either admiration or awe.

Seeing him suddenly stop, the disciple beside him couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the matter, Great Elder?”

The great elder shook his head and replied, “Nothing, let’s go in.”

Could it be that he was overthinking things just now?
