Chapter 471: Chapter 447 How Dare He Guang Yuan Deceive Me, West Sea?!

"Who are you?"

The woman saw Lu Qingfeng, her brows slightly furrowed, without a hint of panic, instead she stared intently at Lu Qingfeng’s face, feeling a faint sense of familiarity.

Lu Qingfeng stepped forward, bowed deeply to the woman, and respectfully said, "Your son-in-law Guang Yuan, pays respects to Mother!"

"Guang Yuan?!"

Upon hearing this, the woman suddenly recalled, this man was identical to someone she had seen in a portrait before.

No wonder he seemed familiar at first sight.

Looking at Lu Qingfeng, the woman’s brows lifted slightly, her expression stern as she said in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you!"

Obviously.

The woman did not believe him.

Lu Qingfeng was not surprised either.

Ao Yun had been imprisoned in the West Sea Dragon Palace for over five thousand years; his sudden appearance and claim to be ’Guang Yuan’ made him hardly credible to anyone.

"Mother, please look."

Lu Qingfeng did not say much else, a gentle Mana raised Ao Yun’s hand, lightly landing on her forehead. Ao Yun frowned slightly, though she also harbored hope, and seeing that Lu Qingfeng had no ill intentions, she placed her hand on the position of Lu Qingfeng’s forehead, quietly observing.

As her hand landed.

There emerged a Pure Light from both eyes, bathing one like a spring breeze, feeling peaceful and comfortable.

When Ao Yun saw this, her eyes slightly brightened, "This is—"

"Indeed."

"It is indeed Merit Bright Light."

"Your son-in-law once in East Sunken State of Chunshen, resolved the crisis of the Blood Sea overturning, and heaven and earth bestowed the Merit Bright Light. Guang Yuan might be feigned, but this Merit Bright Light cannot be faked."

Lu Qingfeng nodded, speaking to Ao Yun.

"Are you truly Le’er’s husband?"

Ao Yun knew Merit Bright Light could not be faked, hesitating for a moment, then overjoyed like madness, but again panicked, she asked, not waiting for Lu Qingfeng to reply, immediately urging, "The Dragon Palace is dangerous, full of Yaksha and Generals, you should not have come here!"

Ao Yun, deep in the palace, had heard it from servant girls, knowing that this son-in-law of hers had quite some influence in Shang River Dragon Palace.

But this place was, after all, the grand West Sea Dragon Palace.

Laws are myriad, defenses strict, housing who knows how many Great Divine Power Practitioners; even a Mahayana True Immortal would not dare to break in rashly. Although Guang Yuan is powerful, rumors had him merely at the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Coming so rashly to the West Sea, it really is dangerous!

She, having separated from Ao Zhan for more than five thousand years, knew the agony well, truly didn’t wish her daughter to follow in her steps.

"Mother, rest assured, your son-in-law comes prepared," Lu Qingfeng reassured upon seeing this.

He was now at the state of Primordial Spirit Unification, deploying Great Divine Power Invisibility Technique to conceal his figure; let alone Mahayana True Immortals, even Earth Immortal True Monarchs, if not intentionally scrutinizing, would fail to detect him.

West Sea Dragon Palace was strictly fortified, at most guarded by True Immortals.

For him, coming and going was unimpeded.

"You must not be careless."

Ao Yun worried, furrowing her brows, "What brings you here? Speak quickly and leave soon, make sure not to be discovered."

She never expected that Lu Qingfeng came——

"I specifically came to escort Mother out of West Sea, to Poison Dragon Pond."

While Lu Qingfeng spoke, he took out a black long robe from his bosom and handed it to Ao Yun, saying, "This is the ’Yuan Kong Robe’, capable of hiding one’s figure and aura; unless faced by a True Immortal, even those at the peak of Primordial Spirit Realm can’t detect it."

This Yuan Kong Robe shared a similarity with the ’Hidden Space Robe’ Lu Qingfeng obtained from Sikong Qinglian back in the Five Directions Realm. Only, at that time with his lower cultivation, the Hidden Space Robe that could conceal tracks and aura under Core Formation was also considered a treasure.

Now, after many lifetimes, his influence in Immortal Qin Realm was overwhelming. The ’Yuan Kong Robe’ obtained was far stronger than the ’Hidden Space Robe’, in the hands of a Primordial Spirit Practitioner it was a top-grade treasure.

"If Mother misses Father and Le’er, just follow your son-in-law and leave. Your son-in-law’s opportunities are vast and Divine Skills immense. With the protection of Merit Bright Light, even if West Sea discovers us, they can do nothing to me."

"Sooner is better than later."

Lu Qingfeng urged.

When Ao Yun heard this and thought back on the spell-binding Merit Bright Light she saw earlier, she no longer hesitated, nodding her head, "I will go with you."

As she spoke,

A surge of emotion momentarily filled her, her eyes becoming slightly teary, a long-dead heart suddenly stirred with eagerness.

Husband.

Children.

It had indeed been too long since Ao Yun had been separated from them.

"That is very good."

Lu Qingfeng was overjoyed, shaking the robe in his hands, draping it upon Ao Yun, "Mother, keep close to your son-in-law."

Lu Qingfeng led the way forward.

Ao Yun bit her lip, following closely beside Lu Qingfeng, daring not to make a sound. They passed through the front courtyard, where servant girls were still casually chatting, Ao Yun walked right past them unseen—hope surged within her. As they crossed the threshold of the Qionghua Palace, eight Golden Crab and Silver Shrimp Generals in armor did not spot them.

Ao Yun’s hope rose even further.

In this fashion.

Lu Qingfeng ahead, his hands continuously forming seals within his sleeves, avoiding routes where they might encounter West Sea True Immortals. Like when he came, he had encountered no obstacles. The array formations within and outside the West Sea had not been activated; it only posed a warning effect to True Immortals with less proficiency in arrays, making them misstep and trigger alerts. To Lu Qingfeng, the Array Master, everywhere had flaws, leading Ao Yun smoothly past all.

Approximately three hours later.

At the shores of the West Sea.

The sea parted.

Lu Qingfeng and Ao Yun walked out.

Seeing the scenery of all directions, Ao Yun felt as if in a dream.

She had been imprisoned in deep palaces of West Sea for over five thousand years.

In the beginning.

When Dragon King’s brother, her father Ao Zhi, was still alive, although she was imprisoned, her father and brothers would often visit. But over three thousand years ago, after Ao Zhi died in battle in Chunshen Nine Provinces, and her brothers having their own legacies, never again came to Qionghua Palace.

Thus, the palace became increasingly desolate, and escape seemed hopeless.

Never did she expect that one day she could really leave the deep palace to see the light of day again.

Her mind was a complex twist of emotions that couldn’t be named, yet she knew they were close to the West Sea Dragon Palace—this was not the time for slackness. Ao Yun suppressed the excitement in her heart, her heartbeat quickened as she turned to look at Lu Qingfeng, "I sneaked out of Qionghua Palace, and it will be discovered in at most three days. Throughout the West Sea territory, Dragon Palace Divine Generals guard all around the transmission arrays, the only way to leave is to flee by flying."

In her early years, she had fled with Ao Zhan and had a good understanding of the tracking methods of West Sea. Although she had escaped the Dragon Palace, she was still within the jurisdiction of West Sea, and how to get out remained a challenge.

"This matter is simple."

Hearing this, Lu Qingfeng couldn’t help but smile.

He had come prepared, with plans already in mind.

Mana surged, and as he muttered under his breath, five clumps of black gas immediately appeared and descended around him in the five directions, enveloping both himself and Ao Yun within.

Ao Yun saw this and, not recognizing the technique, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

Lu Qingfeng smiled and said, "This technique is called ’Five Ghosts Transfer Skill’. It moves through the void and can instantly transport you thousands of miles, it’s a top-tier skill for traveling."

As for not mentioning the ability to take others’ belongings without breaking into homes or safes, there was no need to tell Ao Yun about that.

"What a divine skill!"

Ao Yun exclaimed, her heart finally settling.

Lu Qingfeng said no more, crafted his mana around Ao Yun’s arm, and as his mind stirred, the Five Ghosts exerted their power and they vanished without a trace.

...

Three days later.

In the Dragon Palace Golden Hall.

A report came in—

"Your Majesty, Princess Ao Yun of Qionghua Palace is missing, suspected to have snuck out!"

The West Sea Dragon King, sitting high at his seat, his face pale with a white beard.

Hearing the words of the general below, the West Sea Dragon King’s eyes widened.

Thump!

Frightened, the general’s legs went weak, and he knelt in the middle of the golden hall, crying out, "Your Majesty, spare my life!"

The Dragon King frowned, pondering, with Minister Turtle speaking softly beside him, "Your Majesty, Ao Yun is the mother of Ao Le, wife of Shang River Investigating God Monarch. In previous years, Shang River Investigating God Monarch seemed to have sent quite a few letters wanting to take Ao Yun away. After being refused by Your Majesty, he has not brought up the matter for years."

Snap!

Listening to this, the West Sea Dragon King blew his beard and slammed his hand down fiercely, exclaiming angrily, "How dare Guang Yuan deceive me, West Sea?!"

"Your Majesty, calm your anger!"

Above the golden hall, the West Sea ministers knelt down one after another, it wasn’t their concern, so they were not really afraid.

However—

"Guang Yuan?"

This name was familiar to the ministers of West Sea. If he had made a move to abduct Ao Yun, it might be difficult to settle this matter well.

"Search!"

"Search thoroughly for this king!"

"Once found out, regardless of inside or outside West Sea, throw the perpetrator in the Netherworld Prison without mercy!"

The West Sea Dragon King was furious.

With a swing of his large sleeve, he turned to the hall, "General Jizhen Jianshen, you were the one who captured Ao Yun back then, today I entrust you with this responsibility again, be sure to capture Ao Yun and bring her back! Anyone who obstructs, execute without mercy!"

"Your subordinate obeys!"

General Jizhen Jianshen, Ao Wind, stepped forward, clasped his fist in response.

...

West Sea clouds stirred.

Led by Ao Wind, soldiers spread in all directions, tracking Ao Yun.

But Lu Qingfeng had already used the ’Five Ghosts Transfer Skill’, taking Ao Yun back to Chunshen East Chen State.

Arriving at East Chen State, Lu Qingfeng also relieved his mind. This place was chaotic, and with the Shang River Three Armies stationed here, it was quite difficult for West Sea to cross the border and take someone.

Moreover.

Lu Qingfeng had operated in East Chen State, Dong Xian State, and East Xiang State for 3,300 years, with various arrangements and numerous trump cards.

He was not afraid at all.

"Let’s go!"

Within just three days from West Sea crossing a vast territory back to East Chen State, even the Five Ghosts had reached their limit. Lu Qingfeng stirred his thoughts, and the dim Five Ghosts around him immediately turned into five streams of black smoke, disappearing into the ground of Dong Xian State and vanished.

This was to sink into the Blood Sea, recuperating and recovering.

Ao Yun stood quietly by, silent, although East Chen was not her hometown, she felt somewhat timid as it was familiar.

"This place is East Chen State. My Investigation Divine Bureau is to the north, and just south of it is the Poison Dragon Pond, where father and three elder brothers are. I’ll call Le’er right away, and go with the Queen Mother to the Poison Dragon Pond."

Lu Qingfeng said to Ao Yun, flicking his hand to cast a talismanic decree.

Not long after.

Beyond the North Heaven, flags on the clouds moved, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

Soon, there were sounds of drums and music coming from Caiyun, emerging from the horizon and flying towards them, seemingly slow yet arriving swiftly.

As the Caiyun, from high above, descended diagonally, it seemed grand and majestic.

In the clouds were housed eight Daoist children looking about seven, eight, or nine years old, each holding musical instruments, horsetail whisks, etc., arranged in a figure-eight formation on either side.

Clothed in neither silk nor linen, brightly colored and strikingly glamorous.

However, their appearances were all rather ugly and fierce, each wearing a Golden Hoop on their heads.

Behind the cloud, trailed a long green aura, looking like a long rainbow crossing the sky, leading with a piece of Caiyun, thrown diagonally from the high Nine Heavens like a Divine Dragon drawing water.

From the sounds of sea and wind changing from loud to soft, the sky cleared up, with not a single cloud.

Huari Immortal Mountain was inherently beautiful.

Suddenly, a Caiyun carrying a long green rainbow flew down from the sky, its magnificence unparalleled and unprecedented. The Caiyun and green aura, solid like reality, halted a few feet above the ground.

The light of the rainbow scattered, revealing a luxurious chariot engraved with dragons, phoenixes, turtles, and kyrins stationed right in front of Lu Qingfeng and Ao Yun.

The eight children each held their instruments, playing harmoniously in response to each other.

After the music ended, they bowed to Lu Qingfeng and cried out, "Greetings to the Divine Monarch’s divine carriage! May the Divine Monarch enjoy eternal fortune and longevity as endless as the heavens!"

Such pomp, truly remarkable.
