Chapter 89: Who Is He?

Leichaoya, a restricted area imprisoning numerous criminals, naturally had a large number of guards, as well as mages who controlled the entire enchantment formation of the forbidden zone.

“Hurry, hurry! It’s inside the cell where Mo Yangyu is imprisoned. That black-clothed youth was too powerful. He merely glanced at me, and my vision blurred, my ears rang, and I was thrown off Leichaoya straight into the sea… How terrifying!” The guard exclaimed in fear, quickly assembling a large group of guards. The leader in charge of guarding Leichaoya was a Silver Moon Knight.

“You say just one glance from him threw you down?” The Silver Moon Knight, carrying a weapons case, frowned. “Could he be a mage specialized in soul techniques?”

“First, second, and third squads, assemble immediately and prepare to depart. Activate the formation, be ready to attack at any moment.”

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

Each one obeyed the command swiftly.

The enchantment formation of the forbidden zone began to activate. The temperature around Leichaoya started to drop rapidly, and frost began to form on the ground.

“Roll away!” A furious shout echoed across the sky and earth.

A surging wave appeared out of nowhere, like a giant serpent swimming. This wave, hundreds of meters long, swept directly over the assembled guards. The guards panicked, some grabbing weapons, others shields. The Silver Moon Knight at the front also changed expression, hastily conjuring a shield in his hand to block in front.

“Boom~~~” The wave swept through, sending all the guards flying and rolling. The Silver Moon Knight was the only one who remained standing, his face slightly altered: “Water-element magic? Its power is actually this strong. He must be a Silver Moon level mage!”

“Who dares to violate the restricted area of the Mo Yang family’s imprisonment!” The Silver Moon Knight shouted loudly. “State your name!”

Suddenly, a surge of flame-like battle aura shot into the sky.

The seemingly ordinary flame-like battle aura gave the Silver Moon Knight an invisible sense of dread. Each thread of this aura felt like sunlight in the heavens, and it condensed directly into a massive palm.

Whoosh!

The massive palm struck directly at the Silver Moon Knight.

“No, no! This is not a mage. The previous wave was water conjured by a Master of All Things Realm of Realms!” The Silver Moon Knight finally realized. He wanted to dodge, but the massive flame palm was too fast. He could only raise the shield above his head.

Peng! The massive palm descended, slamming the Silver Moon Knight into the rocky ground, the sound of multiple bones breaking clearly heard. Blood immediately spurted from the knight’s mouth.

“Mercy, my lord!” The Silver Moon Knight, both terrified and relieved, realized his opponent had held back. Otherwise, that single strike would have crushed him into pulp.

Only then did the massive flame palm slowly withdraw.

The soldiers and guards rolling about in the distance, along with their leader, the Silver Moon Knight, looked in fear at the massive flame palm hovering in the sky. Eventually, the palm transformed into a mass of battle aura and flew back into the cave where Mo Yangyu was imprisoned.

“Captain!” Immediately, some guards rushed to assist and help up the Silver Moon Knight.

“Do not act rashly! Do not disturb that lord!” The Silver Moon Knight quickly ordered.

“Yes.”

All the soldiers and guards immediately responded. Who would dare provoke? If a real battle broke out, they would likely be annihilated in an instant. The earlier water wave had used a soft force; aside from the Silver Moon Knight, the weaker ones, from the Meteor Knights to the weakest ordinary soldiers, were all thrown away, yet not a single one was killed. Clearly, the opponent had held back.

“This palm doesn’t seem like magic, more like battle aura,” the Silver Moon Knight, holding his chest, muttered with unease. “Battle aura with such power when separated from the body? Could it be a Transcendent?”

…

Inside the cave.

Dongbo Xueying was chatting with his mother, eating snacks and drinking Oceanic Realm Stone Spirit Liquid.

He did not want anyone to disturb them, so he manipulated water from a distance to knock away the guards. If he had used fire, it might have burned the guards to death. Although Dongbo Xueying was filled with anger, he was not a madman. He knew that vengeance had its target; these lower-level soldiers were merely trying to earn a living.

As for the Silver Moon Knight leader who had provoked and insulted him, Dongbo Xueying had given him a small lesson.

“Xueying,” Mo Yangyu watched the hazy red battle aura flying into the cave entrance and merging into Dongbo Xueying’s body.

“Your battle aura can leave and return to your body, controlled so effortlessly. Have you already…” Mo Yangyu could hardly believe her eyes.

“Yes, I recently became a Transcendent,” Dongbo Xueying replied. “I fell into the Black Wind Abyss, but only because I became a Transcendent did I manage to escape by sheer luck.”

Mo Yangyu could hardly believe it, yet she was also immensely proud.

Her son…

That eight-year-old boy, twenty years later, had now become a legendary Transcendent being!

“It feels like a dream. I can’t believe it,” Mo Yangyu laughed.

“Mother, eat more,” Dongbo Xueying said, bringing some snacks this time. He estimated that his parents had not had an easy life in these years.

“Okay.”

Mo Yangyu was in high spirits, eating heartily, drinking spirit liquid. Her skin color visibly changed, and the wrinkles on her face began to fade. Dongbo Xueying poured her cup after cup, even after finishing a pot, he willed more spirit liquid from his treasure storage into the teapot. These years, his mother had first suffered from power outbursts and collapse, her soul injured, and later became too heartbroken. With a mage’s naturally fragile body and no power to nourish it, she had rapidly deteriorated.

Oceanic Realm Stone Spirit Liquid was something even Transcendent-level experts would not casually consume like food or water. It was the greatest achievement of Elder Lei Zhen’s life, who left behind enchantments before his death, preferring to destroy it rather than let it fall into the hands of the beast clans.

Drinking just a little would keep one full for days.

One pot of spirit liquid was worth ten days’ worth, worth millions of gold coins. Of course, Transcendent experts would not be willing to exchange it for gold coins. At their level, secular wealth was meaningless; gold coins were just numbers. What they valued more were Transcendent items!

“Mother, how did you know I was in trouble back then?” Dongbo Xueying asked.

“It was Mo Yangchenbai who sent someone to tell me,” Mo Yangyu replied. “He deliberately wanted to upset me, but without him, I probably wouldn’t have known about your situation for a long time.”

“Again Mo Yangchenbai!” Dongbo Xueying’s eyes flashed with a trace of killing intent.

He must die!

However, Dongbo Xueying quickly controlled his emotions and continued to chat and drink with his mother, hoping to make her happy.

“Okay, I’m actually full,” Mo Yangyu smiled. “I didn’t realize I drank so much. My soul injuries are completely healed. I feel a bit reluctant to drink anymore.”

“If you’re full, you don’t need to drink anymore,” Dongbo Xueying smiled. “This Transcendent spirit liquid is enough to keep an ordinary person full for a day with just one cup. Mother, you were injured and your body deteriorated over the years, so you could keep absorbing and digesting it. Now that your body has recovered, you naturally feel full.”

Mo Yangyu’s hair was still snow white, but black roots had appeared.

Her appearance and skin had completely returned to their state six years ago, even better in spirit.

“So amazing,” Mo Yangyu said.

“This spirit liquid is quite important. Mother, please don’t tell anyone about it,” Dongbo Xueying said. The Oceanic Realm Stone was enough for him to use for a thousand years, and naturally, he wanted to reserve some for his parents, Qing Shi, Uncle Zong, and Uncle Tong. These were his family! Still, it was better to keep it a secret. He was confident in the others; Qing Shi, after this incident, should have become more steady.

This spirit liquid was beneficial to the body, dantian sea of qi, and soul, effective even for Transcendents, let alone ordinary people. It would greatly aid their cultivation. Even if his parents couldn’t walk far on the cultivation path, they could live longer.

“Don’t worry, I understand,” Mo Yangyu smiled.

“Then let’s go pick up Father,” Dongbo Xueying stood up.

“Dongbo…” Mo Yangyu’s heart trembled. Her husband, since she was imprisoned here, they had been separated for twenty years.

Twenty years was too long.

Holding his mother’s hand, they walked out of the cave entrance.

Transcendent battle aura spread, forming a protective layer around his mother.

Then Dongbo Xueying took his mother and flew into the air.

“Leichaoya,” flying high above, Mo Yangyu looked down at Leichaoya below, her eyes wide at the large group of guards in the distance. This was the place where she had been imprisoned for twenty years.

“Father is at the alchemy workshop by Dongxiang Lake. Let’s go,” Dongbo Xueying said.

Swoosh!

Instantly transformed into a flame-like rainbow light, breaking through the sky.

“So fast!”

The Silver Moon Knight leader, still holding his chest with a pale face, watched in shock. “Flying through the sky, this is Transcendent!”

“The legendary flying through the sky? A Transcendent being?” The soldiers and guards around were also stunned. Almost everyone in the world had heard of Transcendents… but very few had actually seen one with their own eyes.

“Who is that black-clothed youth? Mo Yangyu has been imprisoned here, how could she have met a Transcendent? Was it someone she knew twenty years ago?” The Silver Moon Knight was puzzled. “In front of a Transcendent, what is the Mo Yang family? But why did it take twenty years for him to come rescue her? Could he have just recently become a Transcendent?”

The Silver Moon Knight was puzzled and speculated.

Suddenly, he thought of someone—

An extremely outstanding individual, a once-in-a-century prodigy of the entire Longshan Empire, who perished together with Xiang Pangyun!

“Could it be Dongbo Xueying? He fell into the Black Wind Abyss and survived?” The Silver Moon Knight was shocked and uncertain. Thinking back, among those Mo Yangyu knew, perhaps only that monstrous Dongbo Xueying could have become a Transcendent.

“Regardless of who he is, he obviously has a special relationship with Mo Yangyu! Perhaps this Transcendent being might even bring his wrath upon the entire Mo Yang family.” The Silver Moon Knight shivered at the thought. The anger of a Transcendent being? Definitely something the Mo Yang family could not withstand!

“We must deliver this message to the family as quickly as possible.” The Silver Moon Knight, not daring to delay, immediately ordered someone to relay the news.

If it were some experts from Qinghe County, they might have recognized Dongbo Xueying at first sight.

But this was Duoyu Prefecture in the Eastern Province, and few knew Dongbo Xueying’s appearance!

…

Boom—

Dongbo Xueying held his mother’s hand, surrounded by flames, flying at high speed.

“So fast, this is the flying of a Transcendent?” Mo Yangyu marveled, looking at the surroundings. The scenery became blurred, only the distant view was slightly clearer.

“At this speed, I’m only flying at half my maximum,” Dongbo Xueying explained. “When a Transcendent carries someone while flying, the speed is much slower.”

His body particles fully attached to the flames, reaching maximum speed, usually only done in urgent situations or when entering narrow cracks or other tight areas.

Maintaining a human form while flying could only achieve seventy to eighty percent of his maximum speed.

If he were carrying someone while flying… the speed would be even slower! Dongbo Xueying could only maintain half of his previous speed.

“We’re here. Ahead is Dongxiang Lake.” Holding his mother’s hand, Dongbo Xueying slowed down, breaking through the clouds, and already seeing the shimmering Dongxiang Lake below.

“So fast, we’ve only spoken a few sentences,” Mo Yangyu marveled. She had lived in Duoyu Prefecture since childhood and clearly knew the distance between Dongxiang Lake and Leichaoya.

Dongbo Xueying spread his divine power downward, covering the alchemy workshop’s mage tower near Dongxiang Lake, easily locating his father inside. His expression relaxed; his father’s condition was much better than his mother’s.
