C9 Old Man

Looking at the golden pearl on the stone platform, Ye Xuan was surprised. As if he was guided, he walked up the stone platform step by step and arrived in front of the golden pearl.

"What is this thing? Is it summoning me?" Previously, when he was outside the valley, Ye Xuan had felt a strong call, but he did not know what it was. But now, when he saw the golden pearl, he felt a call in his heart, as if it was from the golden pearl.

Carefully sizing up the golden pearl in front of him, other than the dazzling light emitted by the golden pearl, Ye Xuan did not see anything else that was special about it.

After observing the golden pearl around for a while, Ye Xuan extended his hand and picked up the golden pearl on the stone platform.

"I wonder what the use of this golden pearl is?" Looking at the golden pearl in the palm of his hand, Ye Xuan couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Just as Ye Xuan was seriously researching the golden pearl, a cry pulled him back to reality. The little guy was waving at him from afar, as if calling him over. Ye Xuan put away the golden pearl and walked towards the little guy.

Only when he arrived beside the little guy, did Ye Xuan realize that there was a white flag stuck into the ground with a word on it. The little guy was crying out loudly at the side, as if it was hinting him to remove the flag.

Ye Xuan glanced at the anxious little fellow, and then pulled off the flag on the ground in confusion.

"Wahaha, I've finally come out! It's been three hundred years, and I'm going to suffocate to death!"

The moment the flag was pulled out, an aged laughter resounded through the hall, scaring Ye Xuan awake as he threw the flag in his hand.

"Kid, did you let me out?" An aged voice sounded in Ye Xuan's ears.

Ye Xuan turned to look, and only saw, that he was almost scared to death, only to see a transparent illusionary figure floating in the air, the figure was an old man with white hair, a long beard, and bright and lively eyes.

At this moment, the old man was staring at him with a smile. He wore a white robe and had a sage-like appearance. However, his figure was just too terrifying, like a ghost from the legends.

"A ghost?" Ye Xuan's eyelids trembled as he exclaimed.

"Pah pah pah! What the hell? I'm not dead yet! Besides, have you ever seen such a kind ghost like me?" The old man teased.

Listening to the old man's teasing and seeing the old man's appearance, Ye Xuan's heart calmed down a little, but he unconsciously took a few steps back.

Looking at the cautious Ye Xuan, the old man just smiled and waved to the little fellow behind him.

Suddenly, Ye Xuan saw the little fellow who had been following him the whole time, suddenly running past him and arriving before the old man's illusionary figure.

"Ling Diao, thank you so much. If you hadn't brought me here, this old man would not have known when I would have been able to come out. This old man has accompanied you for three hundred years to chat about heaven, hahaha." The old man lowered his illusionary figure, and used his transparent palm to stroke Ling Diao's fur and laughed.

So this little fellow that looked like a mouse and a cat was actually Ling Diao, Ye Xuan exclaimed in his heart.

Ling Diao was born after a thousand years of accumulation of nature's spirit energy. His talent was outstanding, and his speed could be said to be fast among living beings. After he reached adulthood, even the legendary Divine Beast, Divine Roc, which was known for its speed, could not compare to him.
