Chapter 1357: Chapter 658: The Disappearing Lingyun Hall
Chapter 658
Mo Jiuli flew to the old man’s secret chamber and saw an old man with white hair and beard sitting cross-legged, his expression excited. The garment he wore was clearly a Divine Artifact, which remained spotless and clear even after such a long time, without a speck of dust…
The old man’s appearance could be considered quite handsome. Even though he was of age and bearded, there was not a single wrinkle on his face; the traces of years were nowhere to be seen on his countenance…
However, due to being imprisoned here for many years, his complexion was somewhat pale, and he seemed to have been in the same position for too long, his legs might have gone numb…
Mo Jiuli handed an Elixir to the old man, who ingested it right away! Observing Mo Jiuli, his gaze was full of scrutiny. He still couldn’t believe that his good friend would have Disciples still left in the world; this was something he simply could not understand…
Mo Jiuli paid no heed to the old man’s gaze and sat down on the ground, leaning to one side. The old man spoke up: “Little Girl, can you tell me how you came to have Lingyun as your Master?”
“Hmm, it was back when I was still in the Underworld, during my Training in a Secret Realm…” Mo Jiuli recounted the whole story of how she had met Lingyun in the Lingtian Continent, how she was forced to accept the Heritage without concealing any details.
“So that’s how it was, that’s how it was indeed! No wonder back then so many people desperately searched for Lingyun Hall without success. It seems that their forceful assault on Lingyun Hall triggered the Array formation. When they attempted to Crack the Array, they ended up shaking Lingyun Hall into the flowing Secret Realm! Hahaha, this is truly great, truly wonderful…” The old man laughed joyously, but Mo Jiuli noticed the tears glittering in the corners of his laughing eyes.
“You must be amused, Little Girl. Your Master Lingyun and I were the closest of good friends! My name is Liao Nian, and you must be very curious why, despite your Master’s formidable Array skills, I who also possess some skill can’t escape from here! The truth is, every time I saw your Master deeply engrossed in his study of the Array, I never felt the desire to leave! In my life, I’ve had no kin nor friends, save for your Master alone. I didn’t expect him to leave so abruptly, leaving me alone without any direction. I’ve grown accustomed to being trapped here anyway. After all, even if I could leave, I wouldn’t know where to go,” the old man said wistfully.
“Senior, what did you mean earlier about Master’s Lingyun Hall being attacked?” Mo Jiuli asked.
She remembered from her Master’s memories that it seemed his Disciple had betrayed and turned against him in Lingyun Hall!
“I didn’t see the specifics myself since I was in seclusion at the time! It was only later that I heard from those in the know, that beast wanted to obtain your Master’s ultimate skills, and did not hesitate to betray and commit parricide, murdering your Master. Unable to find your Master’s manuals, afterwards, he led strong people to forcefully attack Lingyun Hall. However, Lingyun Hall was surrounded by your Master’s Array formations and even that beast couldn’t Crack them. Some say that in the end, thousands of strong people attacked Lingyun Hall together, but after they forced a Broken Array, they found only ruins where Lingyun Hall stood. They all believed that your Master had destroyed Lingyun Hall! Little did they know that Lingyun Hall fell into the Secret Realm you mentioned, which is just too wonderful! Such a pity I never got to see that scoundrel’s face for one last time…” Liao Nian said, looking at Mo Jiuli.
