Guarding the River of Time-Chapter 312 - 303: War Correspondent Chu Loli! Carrying the Jar Through the Years!

Chapter 312: Chapter 303: War Correspondent Chu Loli! Carrying the Jar Through the Years!

As he approached, he finally saw the visitor’s features clearly.

The man was dressed in a bluish-gray robe, with sword-like brows and starry eyes, thick black hair flowing, and his eyes like deep and bright abysses, as if hints of electric holy fire were leaping and brewing within.

Under the man’s feet was a Stone Jar, his power restrained, but from the aura, one could discern this man was extremely powerful.

When the water beneath his feet stopped, his gaze fell upon the man in the Immortal Robe before him, his pupils contracted sharply, and his breathing quickened a few notches.

It turned out that on this River of Time, there truly existed a River Guardian.

He recalled the words left by the Celestial Emperor on the stone tablet—"Future generations, if you wish to ascend to the heavens and assist that presence, when passing the River of Time, you will encounter a powerful River Guardian. Tribute is required, and remember, do not engage in conflict!"

He had traveled through various historical sites, ruins, and from them found legends left by ancient seniors, scriptures, and traces.

Compiling numerous clues, he finally discovered the location of the "mysterious source" and set foot on the River of Time to complete the mission he was destined to complete.

.....

"Who goes there?"

Su Mu, with his hands behind his back, spoke to the man standing on the Stone Jar.

"Junior Chu Feng, merely passing by this river, disturbing a senior’s peace, I beg your pardon."

Chu Feng cupped his fists and said.

Upon hearing this, Su Mu nodded and asked, "With night approaching, are you planning to cross the river, or are you here to fish?"

After he spoke.

Chu Feng was momentarily stunned and replied, "Of course, to cross the river."

This River Guardian senior was indeed surprising; who would fish on the River of Time for leisure? Moreover, he lacked the means to fish on the River of Time.

"Oh."

"I am the River Guardian here."

"If you wish to cross the river, you’ll need to pay the crossing fee."

"For the crossing fee, just present a treasure that satisfies me."

Su Mu spoke straightforwardly.

Regardless of who it is, the crossing fee is unavoidable.

"I understand, I’ve got that covered."

As he spoke, Chu Feng began rummaging through his Space Ring, having already prepared treasures for the "tribute" based on the words left by senior figures.

As Chu Feng searched, Su Mu scrutinized him up and down, his gaze finally settling on the Stone Jar under his feet.

"No need to search."

"That one will do."

Su Mu pointed at the Stone Jar beneath Chu Feng and said.

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng froze. Seeing the man pointing at his Stone Jar, he panicked, immediately waving his hands and saying, "Senior, senior! This can’t be done, this won’t do!"

One of the most crucial steps in his ascent to aid "that presence" was to bring the Stone Jar to the heavens.

If the Stone Jar was used as a tribute, to pay the crossing fee, then why go to the heavens? Just to deliver vegetables?

Upon hearing this, Su Mu frowned and said, "Why not? You’re using it as a means of transport, might as well give it to me, I find it quite satisfactory."

Chu Feng shook his head and hastily said, "No, no, no, senior, actually, this is my Lifebound Treasure, all my life’s worth and fate rest upon this Stone Jar."

Seeing the flustered expression on Chu Feng’s face, Su Mu also smiled and said, "Why panic, since it’s your Lifebound Treasure, I won’t sever your path."

Though Su Mu had a dark heart, he had some principles, and cutting off someone’s Lifebound Treasure was something he disdained to do, otherwise, if word got out, others wouldn’t come here.

After hearing this, Chu Feng finally sighed in relief.

Then, from the Space Ring, he took out a total of three Magical Treasures: one petal, a Little Black Spear about as long as a chopstick, entirely pitch-black, and a Cyan Gourd.

Seeing these three Magical Treasures, Su Mu began to select.

Admittedly, this person had a wealth of treasures, all of high quality!

The three Magical Treasures were all exceptionally good, and he began to choose, torn about which one to select.

Finally, pointing to the petal among them, he said, "This one then."

After speaking, Chu Feng handed over the remaining two treasures to Su Mu and said, "Senior, take them all; these are all treasures I prepared in advance, all given to you as respect."

Upon hearing this, Su Mu accepted the three Magical Treasures and then asked, "You even prepared the crossing fee beforehand?"

"I have a few seniors who crossed before and paid the crossing fee, so they advised me, and I prepared in advance."

Hearing Chu Feng’s words, Su Mu became interested and asked, "Oh? What are the names of these seniors of yours?"

"One senior’s surname is Ye; I wonder if you remember such a senior?"

"There are many with the surname Ye, and even more with surnames like Xiao and Lin."

"Ye Fan," Chu Feng slowly answered.

Upon hearing this, a figure immediately surfaced in Su Mu’s mind, and he murmured, "So, it was him."

"It seems Elder Ye left a deep impression?"

"Of course, he still owes me many things," Su Mu replied.

While he might not recall who crossed the river, he remembered clearly those who owe him!

Hearing this reply, Chu Feng was also stunned.

It was the first time he’d heard such a shocking revelation that the legendary Elder Ye was deeply indebted to this man...

.....

"Alright, you’ve paid the price."

"Where are you planning to go?"

Since this youngster named Chu Feng was quite skilled at handling affairs, he inquired further.

Chu Feng, armed with the clues he had, pointed in a certain direction.

Su Mu looked in the direction he pointed, suddenly stunned, finding it familiar.

"Last time, three people came, including someone you know, Ye Fan; they also went to this place."

"Why?"

"Is that place your hometown?"

Su Mu asked, confused.

Upon hearing this, Chu Feng was shocked.

It turned out that those three seniors had already been there a long time ago, no wonder...

Regarding the senior’s question, he struggled to explain, given the complexities of the cause and effect. The place he intended to go was the mysterious source.

"How should I put it..."

"Sort of, but not quite. I can’t quite explain it to you, senior."

"That place─"

"Enough, enough, no need to explain, I just asked casually, I’m not really interested in knowing," Su Mu said, waving his hand and interrupting Chu Feng.

.....

"In that case, your seniors are also my regular customers."

"Since you gave me three treasures, I’ll lend you a hand."

Having received the three treasures, Su Mu was in a rare good mood, and since this youngster was adept at handling affairs, he decided to help him out. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Hearing that this senior would assist him.

Chu Feng’s eyes lit up!

If this senior is willing to help, wouldn’t it be a matter of moments to wipe out the mysterious source with a wave of a hand?!

Why bother with so many complications!

Just solve the whole thing completely.

"Senior, are you serious?" Chu Feng tentatively inquired, his tone full of excitement.
