The fish in the pond leaped in alarm, and the birds in the forest suddenly took flight.
A streak of azure light tore through the sky like lightning splitting the clouds before abruptly descending upon Xuanjian Island.
"I have come at my master's command to discuss an important matter with Senior. I humbly request an audience."
Jun Ling Yuan called out in a clear voice, not daring to set foot into Xi Land uninvited. His manner was filled with respect.
This was Daluo's Daoist Temple. Who would dare overstep so lightly? He had not even released his divine sense, lest he cause unnecessary trouble.
"Why is it you again..."
After a long while, Old Turtle's hoarse voice finally came from within, carrying a hint of impatience. "Very well. Come in and talk."
Jun Ling Yuan could not help feeling puzzled at this. What's wrong with this old monster? Why is his tone so fiery?
Then he remembered the purpose of his trip. He immediately thrust out his chest, strode forward with steady, powerful steps, and marched straight inside.
After passing through the lush forest, a quiet streamside came into view.
"Huh? Why are the plants here so much more luxuriant?"
Jun Ling Yuan swept his gaze around and saw that the thin grass, which had only reached his ankles a few days ago, had now grown up to his knees.
Besides that, Old Turtle's aura had also weakened considerably, as though he had just endured a fierce battle. Everything about this place exuded strangeness.
Forget it. This Old Fossil has no idea how many years he's been alive. His actions are usually strange. There's no point dwelling on it.
Jun Linyuan gathered his thoughts and gave a bow, flicking back his sleeve. "Greetings, Senior."
Old Turtle's eyelids lifted slightly.
