Chapter 1324: Reunion of the Celestial Tribe of Wonders and Hades

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Big Luo took a bow before Mu Yu and said, “elder Mu.”

Mu Yu looked at him with a perplexed expression, then he sighed lightly after a while and said, “Luo... Luo Yao, what happened to you?”

Big Luo said calmly, “I am indeed a Hades Beast. My name now is Big Luo Hades, but you may call me Luo Yao if you wish. Big Luo Hades is me, but so is Luo Yao.”

He smiled gently and said, “I have been practicing alone all these year, even until now. During the war between the two realms, although my clan returned to the Greater World, I have no intention to seek them out currently.”

Mu Yu and the rest had a change in expression. He asked, “are you telling the truth? You really did not regroup with the Hades Clan?”

Seeing the look of suspicion from the group, Big Luo kept his cool and said, “that is right. I have no intention to treat humans as enemy. As you have seen, I am largely capable of controlling my demonic energy now. I will not lose control of myself as I did many years ago.”

He Kuangping used his spell power to telecommunicate with Huang Ming and Mu Yu. He said, “Master Luofu obtained some news from the Great Void Sect many years ago that the Hades Beast before us might be related to the Celestial Sect of Wonders. We have lost track of him for many years. He could have been under the leader of Celestial Sect. However, it is not known why he seems to have been freed now.”

“Or perhaps, the leader of Celestial Sect never planned to imprison him.”

Upon hearing this, although Huang Ming and Mu Yu did not change their expressions, they felt very shocked. They thought, “could it be the Celestial Sect of Wonders were colluding with the Hades Clan?”

He Kuangping said, “we have no relevant evidence to prove that. If what this young Hades Beast said is true, that is he has no personal connections with the Hades Clan, then if he resides in the Celestial Sect of Wonders, he might just be like White Tiger Grand Sage, Lu Yuan Grand Sage, and Black Whale Grand Sage.”

Mu Yu said hesitantly, “the Great Void Sect has a Supreme Dragon Roost to raise dragons, even if Luo Yao is related to the Celestial Sect of Wonders, as long as he has no connection with the Hades Clan itself, I guess it is fine? During this war between the two realms, it was all thanks to the leader of Celestial Sect who remedied the peril at Mount Baiyun and defeated the Hades Clan.”

Huang Ming casted a thoughtful glance and said, “what if the Hades Clan and the Celestial Sect of Wonders were colluding in the first place and that was all part of their scheme?”

He Kuangping said, “the Hades Clan has as much pride as the Dragon Clan, they would never give up their dignity and victory to please the leader of Celestial Sect. If they were really colluding, based on the situation of the war back then, it would have been perfectly justifiable for them to sweep the Grand Celestial World, taking the Divine Land and Barren Expanse into their rule.

Huang Ming said quietly, “who knew if they had another plan in mind? Nobody knows why the Hades Clan went into refuge back then. It might involve secrets that even master Luofu does not know about.”

“Or it could be that they had an agreement, but the leader of Celestial Sect betrayed it, such that the Hades Clan fell into his trap. That was how the Hades Clan lost everything, making the Celestial Sect of Wonders the sole winner.”

He Kuangping frowned and said, “junior Huang, be careful what you say.”

Huang Ming nodded his head and said, “we have no evidence at hand so it was just my interpretation. Even if we had proof, I would not be rash and spread this news everywhere. The Celestial Sect of Wonders is at the peak of their power now. Even the Great Void Sect shut off their mountain to reduce their influence on the outside world. So even if the truth is really as such, nobody could do anything about it now.”

“Even if the Great Void Sect reopen their mountain and lead the Divine Lands on a crusade against the Celestial Sect of Wonders, they might not succeed. It would only be beneficial for the Demon Clans.

“Moreover, most parties on the Divine Land are trying to befriend the Celestial Sect of Wonders now. Even if my deductions are accurate, it is hard to tell how many forces would be willing to break away from the Celestial Sect of Wonders to fight against it...”

After saying this, Huang Ming laughed at himself. Their own clan, Luofu Mystical Island, was also gradually establishing friendly relations with the Celestial Sect of Wonders.

If not because they saw Big Luo today, he would never have had such doubts.

He Kuangping frowned and said nothing, while Mu Yu seemed to be terrified of such a possibility.

Although He Kuangping and Huang Ming are the master and senior of Mu Yu respectively, Big Luo only nodded his head to pay compliment. That was because Big Luo’s master is Lin Feng, who is the same generation as Luofu Holy Man, but of a higher social standing.

Big Luo was very respectful to Mu Yu, because he remembered the favor from when Mu Yu taught and guided him. As for the elders of Mu Yu, they are judged based on their individual standings.

It had been many years since He Kuangping attempted to capture and kill Big Luo. Although Luo Yao did not intend to pursue the matter, it would be a stretch to consider the relationship between the two of them as harmonious.

Big Luo could largely detect that He Kuangping, Huang Ming, and Mu Yu were communicating by telepathy. But out of respect for Mu Yu, he did not intercept or attempt to interpret their communication.

Mu Yu paused his train of thought, looked at Big Luo and asked seriously, “Luo Yao, have you killed anyone. I mean, initiate an attack on a human before?”

Big Luo shook his head and said, “I have never.”

He looked at the direction where the Verdant Cloud Dragon King vanished and said, “frankly, after parting ways with you back then, today was the first time I got involved in a fight. Previously, regardless of humans or demons, I have never exchanged fire with any of them. It was rare for me to even encounter them.

Big Luo spoke in an even tone, but Mu Yu and the rest could somewhat detect the underlying sense of confusion in his voice, as well as a sobering loneliness.

Huang Ming said to Mu Yu via telepathy, “ask him where he has been all these years and whether he joined the leader of Celestial Sect.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Yu gave a hesitant look, but did not say anything,

Big Luo could somewhat feel the emotions of Mu Yu, but did not understand the reason why. Seeing that Mu Yu fell into silence as if having reservations, Big Luo sighed to himself. He casted a sideway glance at He Kuangping and Hang Ming and did not engage in further conversation with him. He looked asides, at Yun Jinxi, smiled and said, “speaking of which, the nickname you gave me all these years ago is the name I am known as now.”

He intended to lighten up the atmosphere, and dissipate the caution and animosity Yun Jinxi held against him as a member of the Demon Clan.

Upon hearing this, Yun Jinxi’s expression softened. Although she was comparatively less experienced in combat, she witnessed Big Luo scare away two dragon kings of Undying Soul Demon stage. It was enough to make her realize that although the appearance of the young man before her remained the same, everything else has no longer the same.

One thing was clear for sure: standing before them, Big Luo meant no harm.

Big Luo scanned the crowd, hesitated a moment, then asked, “did brother Cao not join this expedition?”

His magic radar detected no significant change in the level of blood vapor in the surrounding air. During the attack by the Verdant Cloud Dragon King and his clan previously, nobody died in Mu Yu and his group.

Upon finishing his sentence, Big Luo sensed something was wrong. He could see that in the eyes of Yun Jinxi, there was a profound sorrow.

When she looked at Big Luo again, she did so with with much complexity.

Mu Yu sighed at one side, then said, “in a clash during the previous war of the two realms, Zhendong was ambushed and lost his life to the Demon Clans.

He paused briefly, then continued, “three years ago, Zhendong got married with Jinxi. When Zhendong perished, she was very upset.

Cao Zhendong and Yun Jinxi are his disciples, just like Big Luo. He watched them grow up since young. The premature death of Cao Zhendong also saddened Mu Yu.

Big Luo opened his mouth but no word came out.

Cao Zhendong’s death had nothing to do with him, not even the Hades Clan. Mu Yu obviously did not intend to blame him for it. Even He Kuangping and Huang Ming did not develop any hostility towards him.

But looking at Yun Jinxi’s appearance, it was apparent that she was lost in her thoughts. Her emotions, which was almost soothed, became agitated again.

When she looked at Big Luo again, the caution and animosity once more intensified.

Her gaze stun Big Luo like the tail of a scorpion. The color in the pupils of his eyes shimmered.

A dreadful silence blanketed the ambience again. After some time, Big Luo shook his head, and said gently, “Jinxi, please take care of yourself.”

He cupped his hands and raised them to pay compliment to Mu Yu. He said, “Senior Mu, today’s reunion was a pleasant surprise for me. However, I have matters to attend to now and please excuse me. I hope we meet again someday.”

After looking at He Kuangping and Huang Ming, Mu Yu paid compliment with the same gesture. He said, “Take care of yourself too. Do not... Do not... Well, never mind. Looking at you now, all mature and thoughtful, it is for sure you will have a good life ahead. No need for me to say anything more. Just take care of yourself.”

Big Luo nodded his head, turned around and pierced through the void to leave. In the blink of an eye, he morphed into a purple light and vanished without a trace.

Looking at the direction of his departure, Mu Yu sighed, then turned around and knelt before Huang Ming.

He Kuangping also sighed, then he turned his head to look at Huang Ming and said, “please do not blame Mu Yu. He and the Hades Beast go way back. We also have that Hades Beast to thank for keeping us safe this time.”

Huang Ming was expressionless. He shook his head and without saying a word, turned around and flew away towards the other direction of the void.

He Kuangping said to Mu Yu, “get up.”

Mu Yu quietly stood up, then looked at Yun Jinxi. The master and disciple were both lost for words. He Kuangping gathered his spell power to elevate his fellow people of Luofu Mystical Island, then he transported them in the direction where Huang Ming left.

Where a battle just took place in the void, peace was instantaneously restored.

On the other end of the void, Big Luo breezed through another opening of the void. A light flashed in Ning Wan’ge’s eyes and he had returned to her side. Standing in the void, Ning Wan’ge looked at Big Luo, sensing some minute changes in his emotion.

Ning Wan’ge was carefree and indifferent. She did not want to pry into his personal matters. They were on there way again, following the path of divine patterns front the vision of her eyes, towards the direction it was heading.

Big Luo traveled quietly besides Ning Wan’ge, but his eyes betrayed his emotions. When his eyes finally stopped shimmering, he reconciled with the thought that everything had changed and it was impossible to go back to the way before.

“Something is not right,” Ning Wan’ge suddenly stopped her steps. Big Luo frowned and asked, “What is it?”

Ning Wan’ge looked at the void before them, then whispered softly, “we should have already reached by now, but I cannot sense any traces of it.”

Big Luo looked afar and indeed, he saw the ray of light from the pupils of Ning Wan’ge dissipating completely. The divine patterns that paved the road are scattered all around the void.

Ning Wan’ge blinked and gently gestured a spell. Consequently, waves of light dispersed to the surrounding.

All of a sudden, a mist enveloped the darkness of the void, shrouding Big Luo and Ning Wan’ge within it.

Seeing this, Big Luo’s expression became serious. He opened his mouth and let out a long howl. Purple light patterns emerged and covered the surface of his skin, while a purple light aura spreaded into all directions, resonating continuously in the mist.

After this provocation, the mist gradually turned black. It was a black that was darker than the darkness of the void, deeper and gloomier.
