Chapter 1447 Seven Saints of Great Xia (7)

The dignified Seven Saints of Great Xia, stood at my doorstep for a whole day and night?

Tsk tsk~

That’s something else.

Du Yu’s inner thoughts were quite rich; he even suspected that Yinsuo had seen this scene.

So that was why Elder Yinsuo deliberately said, "Please, you two, stay one night in Bamboo Grove."

Du Yu had been thoroughly pinched; he just refused to stay in Bamboo Grove.

Rebellion is the main theme!

And the result is, the moment he came back, he ran into a Saint who’d been waiting bitterly for a whole day.

Good lord~

Such a simple sentence from Elder Yinsuo, and the gold content was actually this high?

Wait a minute!

Du Yu looked Xu Feikong up and down; this Saint couldn’t be someone from the Cold Race in disguise, could he?

Hmm... The probability of that was actually rather low.

After all, his home had always been under the strict protection of the Demon Spirit Squad; people of the Cold Race would find it hard to slip past everyone and stand here.

Still, better safe than sorry.

"Please don’t mind, Elder." Du Yu spoke, and golden flames ignited in his eyes.

The Eye of Burning Sun doesn’t have a detection function, but the Furious Fire Ape’s eyes do.

Heaven-Reaching Ape Demon Skill · Fury Golden Eyes!

Beneath the burning golden flame were Du Yu’s pair of golden Demon Eyes.

Confirmed—the other party wasn’t disguised, really was Human Race.

And through this pair of Fury Golden Eyes, Du Yu finally realized that the cloak draped over Xu Feikong was actually a Demon Beast?

What species of Demon Beast is this?

Don’t tell me this is a heterochromatic Wind Witch Doll?

Du Yu had reason to believe that this black cloak was of very high Level.

And that’s exactly where the issue lay!

Since it was a powerful Demon Beast, why did it feel like a normal piece of clothing, without the slightest hint of aura?

"It’s fine." Xu Feikong said softly, indicating he didn’t mind.

Lin Shiwei stepped forward and said gently, "Du Yu, invite Elder in."

"Oh, right right right!" Du Yu came back to himself and hurriedly backed away, "Elder Xu, please come in."

Xu Feikong nodded lightly, very courteous.

He stepped through the door, stood within the entryway, and didn’t take another step.

Lin Shiwei read his body language and showed the bearing of a mistress of the house.

She smiled, calm and composed: "Elder needn’t change shoes, just come in."

Xu Feikong drew the cloak back into his body, revealing a set of black, tight-fitting clothes.

He looked very much like a man from ancient times.

His gaze lingered for a moment on Lin Shiwei’s face, and he spoke: "Demon Friend, such presence."

Lin Shiwei looped her arm through Du Yu’s and guided Xu Feikong into the living room, neither humble nor overbearing: "Elder can just call me Xiaolin."

It was undeniable that Xu Feikong had come for Du Yu.

However, Lin Shiwei’s appearance was like discovering a treasure, making Xu Feikong nod inwardly.

Such a stunning Demon Taming girl was surely willing to stay by Du Yu’s side, willing to be overshadowed by his boundless radiance.

In Du Yu’s team, there really was the name "Lin Shiwei", but her story was rarely brought up.

As they entered the living room, Lin Shiwei said softly, "You two sit, I’ll go brew tea."

"Mm." Du Yu watched the black-skirted girl heading to the dining room, a trace of unfamiliar emotion rising in his heart.

Normally, no guests ever came to the house, and Du Yu rarely saw this side of Lin Shiwei.

As expected of my Little Shiwei!

She truly can go to the battlefield and hold down the parlor.

As for ’the kitchen’ and all that, that’s this king’s job~

Du Yu came back to his senses, looking at the man sitting on the single sofa: "Sorry, Elder, for making you wait so long."

Xu Feikong shook his head: "It was I who came uninvited."

Du Yu asked, "Elder, what business do you have with me?"

Xu Feikong’s voice was low and very magnetic: "I came to meet you, to take a look at the Guardian God of this Twin Tree Realm."

Du Yu said modestly, "I only count as a latecomer. All along, Elder has been the Guardian God of our Great Xia."

Xu Feikong, however, fell silent.

He was born with dignified features, face like carved jade, and a pair of eyes like cold stars.

Brilliant and intimidating!

Yet Du Yu noticed that the other’s gaze seemed a bit dim.

Du Yu hesitated for a moment and asked with concern, "Elder, what’s wrong?"

Xu Feikong said in a deep voice, "I did not participate in this war."

"Huh?" Du Yu was a bit shocked; that reply was completely beyond his expectations.

As one of the Seven Saints of Great Xia, Xu Feikong didn’t join the battle?

Thinking back now, Du Yu had traveled across all the major fronts, to all kinds of battlefields, and indeed had never seen Xu Feikong.

Of course, the war between the two realms touched every aspect; not only those charging at the front lines count as ’participating’.

But judging from what Xu Feikong meant...

Xu Feikong sighed softly: "When I left, the Cold Trees were still invading the Twin Tree Realm, and the situation was far from optimistic.

Yet when I returned, the Cold Trees had already been wiped out.

The war between the two realms was already over."

Du Yu caught on to one word: "Left?"

Just then, Lin Shiwei came back. She held a teapot in her hand, and three Golden Leaves carried three glass cups, following their mistress.

If you said it out loud, others wouldn’t believe it.

This Water had been rapidly boiled by the Golden Leaves. And the tea leaves had just been picked by Lin Shiwei in the You Huang Realm.

Du Yu wasn’t in the habit of drinking tea, and with no guests ever coming, naturally there were no supplies in this regard.

"Thank you." Xu Feikong accepted the glass cup offered by the Golden Leaves and looked at the bits of bamboo leaf drifting inside.

The fragrance was refreshing, and there was even a hint of Wood Demon Breath.

Lin Shiwei sat beside Du Yu, elegantly crossing her legs, looking at the man dressed in old-fashioned clothes.

Du Yu pressed further, "Elder, you just said ’left’?"

"I believed the Twin Tree Realm would be hard-pressed to survive the millennium." Xu Feikong held the glass cup. "So I went to another world, hoping to find some help."

For a moment, Du Yu’s heart was greatly stirred!

Their ideas and actions were practically identical!

Du Yu forced down the emotions in his heart, keeping his face calm: "Elder, you possess the ability to traverse the Otherworlds?"

Xu Feikong took a light sip of tea and said slowly, "I was an Otherworld traveler to begin with."

At that, Du Yu finally lost his composure!

Xu Feikong is actually from an Otherworld?

He comes from the Otherworld Continent, yet under the rule of the Twin Tree Realm, within the Great Xia Realm, he obtained the title of ’Seven Saints’?

Are you kidding me?

So the true Seven Saints of Great Xia are only six... no, only five?

After all, Cheng Feng dropped a rank.

Looked at this way, the gold content of Master Qing’s Becoming a Saint just keeps rising.

Xu Feikong gazed at the bamboo leaves floating in his cup and said in a low voice, "I merely drifted here over a hundred years ago, scraping by in this realm, surviving in disgrace."

Du Yu and Lin Shiwei exchanged looks; they had never imagined there was such a figure under Great Xia’s rule!

Lin Shiwei said softly, "Elder’s homeland..."

"Heh." For the first time, a smile appeared on Xu Feikong’s face—and it was a self-mocking one. "By the time I, Xu, rushed back home, everything was already far too late."

Du Yu thought for a moment, then still chose to confirm: "Youhan Trees invaded?"

"Yes, the Youhan Trees." Xu Feikong suddenly asked, "Demon Friend, do you know which attributes I, Xu, specialize in?"

Du Yu pondered briefly: "Mm..."

Judging from appearance and bearing, there’s no way Xu Feikong could ever be low-profile.

But in terms of aura fluctuations, he was like that black cloak from earlier—so low-key it was terrifying!

And the information available in the world about the Seven Saints of Great Xia was pitifully scarce.

Even the Saints’ protection of Great Xia, their illustrious deeds, were only mentioned in a few sparse lines in the history books.

Which actually fits pretty well with the history of the Twin Tree Realm?

Huge chunks of blank space leave people helpless and utterly baffled.

If it were titles like "Light Clouds and Gentle Wind" or "Blazing Fire Thunder," Du Yu could still tell what attributes the other party cultivated.

But this "Unfathomable Like Ghosts and Gods" title...

Lin Shiwei ventured a guess: "Wind?"

Du Yu also nodded repeatedly; wind itself is something hard to pin down!

"Wind and thunder." Xu Feikong’s smile held a hint of bitterness. "Among the six major attributes of the world, the two fastest attributes.

Yet I am always one step too slow."

When he returned to his homeland, everything was already too late.

When he came back to this realm, the war had already ended.

The difference was, this time the outcome was good—someone had stepped forward and lifted high the banner of the Twin Tree Realm.

The room fell utterly silent.

Lin Shiwei quietly drank her bamboo leaf tea. The attentive Golden Leaf lifted the teapot, reached it in front of its mistress, and poured warm water into her cup.

Du Yu spoke: "My condolences, Elder Xu."

Xu Feikong raised his eyes to look at Du Yu, then shifted the topic: "Demon Friend, what is your Demon Taming Dao?"

Du Yu was silent for a moment, then said, "I have a Demon Pet. She was bullied by a Cold Tree. I’m going to help her kill it in return."

Xu Feikong nodded. "You succeeded."

"Not yet."

"Mm?"

Du Yu looked at Xu Feikong. "The Cold Tree that bullied my Demon Pet is not the one invading this Twin Tree Realm."

Xu Feikong’s heart gave a jolt, his eyes opening slightly wider!

Du Yu smiled. "It’s not only Elder Xu who possesses the ability to traverse the Otherworlds."

"Heh-heh." Suddenly, Xu Feikong also laughed.

No wonder, when he brought up concepts like other realms and Otherworld travelers, the two young people before him weren’t all that shocked.

Xu Feikong had originally thought these two talents of Great Xia were just steady enough to keep their faces unchanged.

He hadn’t expected that the two of them actually had real backing!

Turns out, I’ve met fellow travelers!

Xu Feikong asked, "Is it a living being hidden within the Thousand Paper Cranes?"

Du Yu’s expression didn’t change: "Why does Elder say that?"

Xu Feikong: "After I returned to this realm, I heard your story—heard about that Paper Crane downpour in June of the year 996.

A living being able to cause such an anomaly should indeed be qualified to cross swords with a Cold Tree."

Du Yu stayed silent and did not respond again.

Seeing Du Yu’s reaction, Xu Feikong did not press further on this question.

He continued, "Now, Demon Friend has already saved billions of living beings in one realm, stabilizing the great rear.

When does Demon Friend plan to go and take his revenge?"

Du Yu shook his head. "That Cold Tree has already taken shape. It has already conquered a Twin Tree Realm. With my current strength, I am not yet qualified to challenge it."

Xu Feikong’s eyes tightened. "When did that world fall?"

Du Yu’s heart stirred. Could Little Fen Yang have run into a fellow countryman?

The Ashen Continent was also invaded by the Youhan Realm more than a hundred years ago.

Right after, Du Yu and Xu Feikong exchanged details carefully, from the kingdom’s name to the names of provinces and cities, even down to mountains and rivers.

In the end, Xu Feikong shook his head, indicating that it was not his homeland.

Precisely because of that, Du Yu let out a quiet sigh in his heart.

Sure enough, outside there are who knows how many worlds, and who knows how many Cold Trees invading the Twin Tree Realm.

The living room fell silent once more, the atmosphere oppressively heavy.

After a long while, Xu Feikong spoke: "What are Demon Friend’s plans next? Continue your cultivation?"

Du Yu did not answer, but instead asked, "Elder, how many worlds have you been to?"

Xu Feikong: "A few."

Du Yu: "Those worlds had Holy Pets and Holy Soldiers, and even Supreme-level existences, didn’t they?"

"They did." Xu Feikong said in a deep voice, "And those worlds were just like the Twin Tree Realm—filled with war.

War between the Youhan Trees and Twin Trees, war between Human Race and Human Race, war between Human Race and Beast Race..."

Lin Shiwei, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke: "Elder’s visit today isn’t just to see Du Yu, is it?"

Xu Feikong looked at the black-dressed woman whose aura surged to the heavens. "All these years, I’ve been searching everywhere for help. I don’t wish to see this realm shattered and falling, like my homeland.

While traversing various realms, I was once saved by a realm’s Divine Tree.

It learned of my purpose, and it earnestly begged me that if one day I truly found hope..."

"The Divine Tree begged me to help it, to save its people."

Lin Shiwei held the glass cup in her hands, recalling Elder Yinsuo’s words in her mind.

Her shoulder lightly leaned against Du Yu’s shoulder, and she said faintly:

"So, a grand and tumultuous journey of life."
