Lord Guanyue?!
Chen Shuangbai raced, and she immediately recalled the information she had gathered. She was somewhat shocked, yet it also seemed perfectly reasonable.
The White Emperor City was able to resist the Great Chu Dynasty was not only because of the Great Emperor [ White Emperor ], a Mahayana Celestial Person, but also because of the abundance of talented people under his command.
Below the White Emperor are Profound Lord, all of whom are Spirit Transformation.
According to popular belief, the man before them, Lord Guanyue, is stationed on the border of the Wind Kingdom year-round, specifically to guard against any unusual movements by the Great Chu Kingdom.
Having understood the identity of the Spirit Transformation before him, Chen Shuangbai's wariness lessened slightly, and he bowed again.
"It turns out to be Mystic Lord Guanyue in person. I have been very impolite and hope you will forgive me."
Lord Guanyue waved his hand dismissively and laughed, "If I cared about such formalities, I wouldn't have come to find you in person."
"However, I must say... your ability to Conceal Form and Hide Traces is truly remarkable. Even I had to painstakingly search for you for several days before I finally found a faint trace of your aura."
Seeing the mischievous look in the eyes of the Nascent Profound Lord Spirit Transformation her, Chen Shuangbai showed a slight embarrassment, but her heart remained perfectly calm.
Judging from his tone, it seems that this Spirit Transformation Profound Lord is not here to capture him.
Chen Shuangbai felt somewhat relieved and simply said, "These are just some minor tricks; I hope you'll forgive my blunder, My Profound Lord."
Upon hearing this, Lord Guanyue gave Chen Shuangbai a deep look and said lightly, "This is not something that can be accomplished with some trivial trick..."
Seeing that Chen Shuangbai would not say anything more, Lord Guanyue did not press him, and then slowly explained his purpose.
"You need not be alarmed. I have not come to interrogate you today!"
Chen Shuangbai readily agreed, but her vigilance was heightened once again.
"Now, let me ask you, from which family and which faction do you come from?"
Why does his body exude the fluctuations of the Heavenly River Lineage's direct lineage's profound martial arts?
Chen Shuangbai paused, thinking to herself that she couldn't hide it from a Nascent Spirit Transformation after all.
He pondered for a moment, a hundred thoughts swirling in his mind, before finally deciding on his identity—
"Replying to Profound Lord, my humble origins are from a small temple. For generations, the temple has been cultivating in seclusion in the Sea of Ten Thousand Spirits, detached from worldly affairs..."
"Now, in the next generation, they've finally ventured out to travel, unaware of the turmoil unfolding outside..."
This statement is quite vague.
Chen Shuangbai knew that the Spirit Transformation Profound Lord before her would definitely not believe it, but there was one thing the other party would definitely believe—
That meant Chen Shuangbai was indirectly acknowledging that he was a descendant of the Heavenly River Lineage!
The Heavenly River Lineage is now virtually extinct, and most of those who remain do not consider themselves descendants of the Heavenly River.
Chen Shuangbai didn't dare to insist that what she said was true.
After listening to Chen Shuangbai's half-truthful explanation, Lord Guanyue did not respond immediately.
The guest room was quiet for a moment.
Only the rustling sound of the mountain wind passing through the treetops could be heard from time to time.
After a long silence, Lord Guanyue suddenly smiled and said, "Alright, if you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to."
"Given the Heavenly River Dao Lineage dominates all regions, which family dares to admit they are descendants of the Heavenly River... It's understandable that you wouldn't dare."
Chen Shuangbai's heart tightened, and he was about to explain when Lord Guanyue waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to panic.
"You don't need to be nervous, I'm not here to investigate your identity."
Lord Guanyue's tone softened again, and he said softly, "I've come only to tell you, this inexperienced young man."
" The Law Power fluctuations of the Heavenly River Lineage's direct lineage's profound technique on your body are too conspicuous. Unless absolutely necessary... you should conceal them better in the future."
"After all!"
"Given the current situation, every single descendant of the Heavenly River Lineage is a thorn in the side of many."
Chen Shuangbai listened silently, not daring to say anything more.
Lord Guanyue assumed that he understood, and after confirming his identity, he said no more, and then asked, "You went through all this trouble to cross the Great Chu and come to this place... Is it because you heard that Pillow Stream Mountain is Heavenly River Lineage, and therefore wanted to come and seek refuge there?"
Chen Shuangbai nodded slightly.
Lord Guanyue was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head. " Pillow Stream Mountain's words are indeed more lenient, you can go... Wei Shuofang won't make things difficult for you, but you must never publicly admit your identity as the successor of the Heavenly River."
"Remember this! Remember this!"
Chen Shuangbai felt a chill run down her spine.
The fact that a Spirit Transformation Profound Lord give such instructions suggests that the disappearance of the Heavenly River Dao Lineage must have involved some extraordinary figures or powerful forces.
This made his heart sink deeply, and he thought to himself that in the current situation, he probably couldn't even find the ancestral temple, so how could he possibly return to it?!
Thinking about this, his heart sank a little.
Lord Guanyue ignored what he was thinking, and simply raised his hand and gently pointed at Chen Shuangbai. A sword talisman formed from pure white light floated down in front of Chen Shuangbai.
" Profound Lord, what is this?"
Lord Guanyue said, "I watched your swordplay at Dingyang Pass from afar. You must have grasped the Sword Intent, right?"
"Hmm! That ferocious power and intent far surpasses ordinary Sword Intent... Interesting. I never expected that the sword world, which has been silent for so long, would produce a sword immortal!"
"I am also a sword cultivator. This is a sword talisman formed from my Sword Intent, which can temporarily shield you from the fluctuations of the Heavenly River successor... but the effect will only last for six months."
Chen Shuangbai didn't quite understand.
He didn't quite understand why Mystic Lord Guanyue from White Emperor City would do these things to him.
Could the other party also be a direct descendant of the Heavenly River Lineage?
Chen Shuangbai considered his tone slightly, about to ask a question, but Lord Guanyue seemed to understand his thoughts, slowly raising his head and stopping the question that was about to slip out, only saying:
"Don't ask me, it's all in the past, there's no point in dwelling on it."
"All you need to know is that in this vast Eastern Radiance, some people are grateful for the kindness of the Heavenly River Lineage, while others hate them to the Heavenly River Lineage... Remember to hide your identity well and don't expose it again!"
That's all.
Lord Guanyue didn't say anything more, but simply walked towards the door. As he stepped into the afternoon sunlight, his figure gradually became blurred.
Chen Shuangbai caught up to the door, about to thank him.
But then Lord Guanyue's blurry figure suddenly stopped, turned slightly, and added, "Oh, right, I almost forgot to tell you... Of the remaining forces mentioned in the rumors, Pillow Stream Mountain and Jade Clarity Palace are still safe to visit, but it's best to stay away from the Mystic Nether Sect and Heavenly Wave City."
Chen Shuangbai was stunned for a moment, and when she came to her senses, Lord Guanyue's figure had already disappeared without a trace.
He Divine Sense, but found nothing. He couldn't help but sigh once again—there truly is an insurmountable gap between the Spirit Transformation and the Nascent Soul.
"My lord?"
Feiguang belatedly realized what was happening and walked out of the house, somewhat confused.
Just now, Lord Guanyue used his Divine Ability to immobilize everyone in this small temple, except for Chen Shuangbai, who was able to move freely. Therefore, Feiguang had no memory of it.
Chen Shuangbai did not rush to answer, but was savoring the words of the Spirit Transformation Profound Lord White Emperor City.
Feiguang seemed to understand something.
He simply waited quietly to the side.
After a long silence, Chen Shuangbai sighed deeply and murmured, "I had already anticipated some difficulties before setting off, but I never expected... it would be such a predicament."
"Well, let's take it one step at a time. Let's go to Pillow Stream Mountain first."
