C599 Let's Go Back to Azure Sun Martial Mansion

After Lee Yuanye finished his rambling, the two continued their discussion. Having decided to head towards the Human Ancestral Land and the perilous Death Zone, they knew they needed to be fully prepared. It was crucial to gather as much information as possible about the Human Ancestral Land to avoid wandering around aimlessly like headless chickens.

The nearest places to gather information were the villages of Great Leaf and Daxing, nestled in the Misty Mountain Range. After asking around, Woo Zhengyang and Lee Yuanye returned disappointed, having learned almost nothing about the Human Ancestral Land. It was understandable, though; many villagers had lived in these remote areas for generations, unaware of the larger world beyond their mountains, let alone any secrets it held.

Next, they set their sights on the Martial Mansions, with their first target being the nearest one: the Azure Sun Martial Mansion.

Outside the Misty Mountain Range, Lee Yuanye brought out his Sky Shuttle. This was Woo Zhengyang's first close encounter with such a flying device, and he couldn't help but examine it closely. True to its name, the Sky Shuttle was spindle-shaped, with a space inside that was neither too cramped nor too spacious, comfortably accommodating twenty to thirty people.

The Sky Shuttle operated similarly to Lee Yuanye's Invincible Cannon Car, using formations powered by Heavenly Essence Stones or spirit crystals. However, compared to the Invincible Cannon Car, the Sky Shuttle's energy consumption was negligible.

The speed of the Sky Shuttle was indeed impressive. In just over a day, Lee Yuanye and Woo Zhengyang arrived at the Azure Sun Martial Mansion. Without sending any prior notice, Lee Yuanye boldly barged in, causing quite a stir.

It wasn't long before the mansion's leader, Feng Yeqiu, and others appeared. Upon seeing Lee Yuanye and Woo Zhengyang, they couldn't help but smile wryly. These two were not to be trifled with, especially Lee Yuanye. Feng Yeqiu still vividly remembered the recent incident where Lee Yuanye had thoroughly ransacked the place.

"Young Master Yuanye, Young Master Woo, what brings you here?" Feng Yeqiu greeted them, though he hesitated slightly when addressing Woo Zhengyang. At just sixteen or seventeen, Woo Zhengyang was hardly someone Feng Yeqiu would typically take seriously. Moreover, Woo Zhengyang had once been a disciple of the Azure Sun Martial Mansion, and Feng Yeqiu had even assessed him in the past, giving them a bit of shared history.

Back then, Feng Yeqiu had seen potential in Woo Zhengyang, thinking he might be a promising talent worth nurturing if he passed the assessments. Little did he know that after entering the Bewilderment Dragon Stream, Woo Zhengyang would soar to great heights. His remarkable skills and abilities shocked everyone, and he even ended up controlling the Hundred Worlds within the stream, forcing Lee Yuanye to compensate with numerous rare treasures.

Of course, the Azure Sun Martial Mansion had to make some reparations. Many of the rare treasures that Lee Yuanye compensated with were taken from the mansion, so he wasn’t eager to see either Woo Zhengyang or Lee Yuanye.

Now, ironically, the two people he least wanted to see had shown up together, making Liang Yeqiu a bit uneasy.

“No worries. I’ve always heard that the Azure Sun World of your Martial Mansion is quite famous. Unfortunately, I never had the chance to visit. Recently, Mr. Zhengyang and I found ourselves with some free time, so we decided to do a bit of traveling,” Lee Yuanye said, smoothly spinning a tale without batting an eye.

“Well... well... Although our Azure Sun Martial Mansion is in a remote area and doesn’t have much to offer, since Young Master Yuanye and Young Master Woo have graced us with your presence, I, Liang, will certainly roll out the red carpet,” Liang Yeqiu said with a broad smile.

“No need for the red carpet. I’m not here to sleep. Just bring out whatever good food and fun activities you have,” Lee Yuanye replied bluntly.

“Of course, of course, please, both of you...”

With Liang Yeqiu leading the way, the two arrived at the Heavenly Martial World. Woo Zhengyang was already quite familiar with the place, though things had changed, and those local youngsters had likely been moved elsewhere.

“What the...”

Lee Yuanye exclaimed in surprise, his eyes fixed on the light curtain of the Azure Sun Martial Mansion, which he referred to as the Azure Sun World.

"What's going on, Young Master Yuanye?" Liang Yeqiu asked, puzzled. Woo Zhengyang was equally confused; he had never seen Lee Yuanye so shocked.

"Master Liang, what is that?" Lee Yuanye pointed to the towering structures, nearly a hundred stories high, in the Azure Sun world.

When Woo Zhengyang first saw those buildings, he was also taken aback. However, he couldn't understand why Lee Yuanye, known for his calm demeanor, was so unusually affected.

"That's where we live in the Azure Sun Martial Mansion! Quite something, isn't it?" Liang Yeqiu said with a hint of pride.

Young Master Yuanye was known for his interest in all things peculiar, so it was indeed rare to see him so surprised.

"Living quarters? Take me there right away." Lee Yuanye had regained his composure but still seemed eager.

"Of course, right this way, gentlemen." Liang Yeqiu led Woo Zhengyang and Lee Yuanye to a massive entrance.

Woo Zhengyang had known this was the main gateway into the Azure Sun world and had always wanted to explore it. He never imagined he'd get the chance so soon, and with the head of the Azure Sun Martial Mansion as his guide, no less.

Once inside the light curtain, Woo Zhengyang was startled.

From the outside, the view of the building complex was impressive, but being inside was an entirely different experience.

Looking around, towering skyscrapers stood like mountains, so tall that without straining your eyes, you couldn't even see the tops. These buildings were bizarre and unusual, at least to Woo Zhengyang, who had never seen or imagined anything like them before. Woo Zhengyang was shocked, but someone else was even more so.

After entering this world, Lee Yuanye's previously calm demeanor turned strange again. Without a word, he began flying through the air, weaving between the clusters of buildings. Seeing him act this way, Woo Zhengyang knew something was up. Despite Lee Yuanye's tendency to be unreliable and playful, when it came to serious matters, he was always earnest. The way Lee Yuanye was acting now meant there was definitely something significant here.

Suddenly, Woo Zhengyang realized a crucial point. The peculiar architecture reminded him of Lee Yuanye's Invincible Cannon Car. Could there be a connection between the two?
