Chapter 2428: Golden Simurgh King!

Chapter 2428: Chapter 2428: Golden Simurgh King!

Pengliang chuckled and didn’t continue speaking, but instead changed the subject, saying:

"Daoist Zhou, let me introduce someone to you. It seems you have some fate with the person by my side."

Zhou Yu had thought that this woman looked somewhat familiar, but for the moment, he couldn’t recall where he had seen her before.

He shook his head and laughed:

"Daoist Peng, don’t keep us in suspense."

"And who is this fellow Daoist?"

Before Pengliang could speak, the woman spoke directly:

"I am Xiao Luan, known to the outside world as the Golden Simurgh King!"

The Golden Simurgh King?

Upon hearing these three words, Zhou Yu couldn’t help but feel his heart tighten.

No wonder the aura seemed familiar; it turned out to be one of the Seven Great Demon Ancestors of the Demon Clan, the Golden Simurgh King of the Golden Palace Clan.

Back in the day, he had some grudge with Xiao Baifeng of the Golden Palace Clan.

Could it be that the Golden Simurgh King now wants to settle accounts?

In a moment, Zhou Yu regained his composure.

He said calmly:

"So it’s the Golden Simurgh King. It seems I’m unlucky today, running into trouble."

Upon hearing this, Pengliang smiled and said:

"Daoist Zhou, you’ve misunderstood."

"I’ve heard about some grudges between you and the Golden Palace Clan, but the Golden Simurgh King isn’t a petty person."

"Here today, let’s give me some face, and let all the unhappiness dissipate."

Zhou Yu didn’t respond verbally but looked toward the Golden Simurgh King.

The Golden Simurgh King scrutinized Zhou Yu for a long time before suddenly smiling:

"I never took this matter to heart." ℯ𝐥.

"Speaking of which, my junior Xiao Baifeng back then actually wanted to target the Fire Phoenix Divine Blood of the Ye Family. If Daoist Zhou hadn’t intervened, my Golden Palace Clan would have been locked in a fight to the death with the Ye Family."

"From this perspective, I have to thank Daoist Zhou for stopping this affair."

Zhou Yu didn’t expect the Golden Simurgh King to say such words.

However, after thinking it over, he understood.

Everything is about power.

If he had come today with Void Refinement Realm power, the Golden Simurgh King probably wouldn’t have given him a second glance and could have made him disappear with a casual slap.

But as Zhou Yu is now, even though he is newly entered into Integration, his foundation is truly unmatched by ordinary Integration Realm cultivators.

The Golden Simurgh King probably isn’t very confident about the outcome, hence her remarks.

However, regardless of the reason, since the Golden Palace King isn’t pursuing anything further.

Zhou Yu naturally had one less trouble to worry about.

At this time, Pengliang spoke:

"Haha, since past grudges have dissipated, why don’t the two of you hurry and go in."

"Hmm."

The Golden Simurgh King nodded.

Then, she looked into the distance.

"Little Lin, come."

With her voice, a graceful shadow flashed by from afar, appearing in front of the Golden Simurgh King.

Upon seeing this shadow, Zhou Yu’s pupils slightly contracted.

This Little Lin...

Zhou Yu suddenly remembered the young girl who had been taken away by Xiao Baifeng back then.

Could it be that this Little Lin is that same girl?

Back then, Xiao Baifeng had secretly come to the Human Race to find this girl.

It was said that this girl bore the bloodlines of both the Golden Palace Clan and the Human Race, and possessed unusually high talent.

At the time, Zhou Yu hadn’t stopped it.

Unexpectedly, so many years have passed.

He was actually able to see this girl again.

Moreover, she is already at the Divinity Transformation Realm level of cultivation.

Calculating the time, it’s only just over a hundred years.

No matter how talented Little Lin is, it shouldn’t be this fast, right?

It’s too defying of the natural order.

While Zhou Yu was shocked, the Golden Simurgh King had already taken Little Lin into the Treasure Hall.

Beside him, Pengliang watched Zhou Yu’s expression change and smiled:

"Daoist Zhou, what’s the matter?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yu came to his senses, looked at Pengliang, and said:

"Daoist Peng, do you know who the young lady was just now?"

"Who is she?"

Pengliang smiled and said:

"That young lady’s name is Lin Ling, bearing the bloodline of the Golden Simurgh King, and it’s the purest bloodline, renowned throughout the entire Golden Simurgh Clan."

"Moreover, her aptitude is exceedingly impressive. It’s said that she hasn’t been cultivating for even a hundred years and has already reached the Divinity Transformation Realm."

"Besides that, it’s said that she’s exceptionally beautiful, with a visage comparable to a Heavenly Immortal."

"However, with special concealing divine power in use, even Integration Realm cultivators cannot glimpse her true appearance."

"Daoist Zhou, you’re so concerned about this young lady, could it be that you have feelings for her?"

"But speaking of which, Daoist Zhou’s talent is no less than hers, and if you two could become Daoist partners, you’d be quite the match."

Hearing these words, Zhou Yu gave a wry smile.

"Daoist Peng is joking."

"I just find this young lady somewhat extraordinary, so I asked an extra question."

"Daoist Peng, I’ll go in first then."

With that, Zhou Yu cupped his hands, then led Qi Ling and Hai Long into the Treasure Hall.

As they walked in, a thoughtful look appeared in Zhou Yu’s eyes.

Lin Ling?

Also Lin?

There wouldn’t be such a coincidence.

This young lady must be the girl Xiao Baifeng took away back then.

However, Zhou Yu didn’t linger on the thought too much.

Even though he had saved that little girl back then, a hundred years have passed, and she has probably long forgotten about it.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have ignored him just now.

Zhou Yu stopped dwelling on it and looked around at the environment.

After passing through the corridor, he found himself within a massive spherical space.

This spherical space was divided into several hundred layers all around.

Each layer was elaborately carved, capable of holding at least tens of thousands of people.

In the center of the entire spherical space, there stood a crystal-like platform.

Thirty-odd puppets stood in the air around the platform, quietly floating there.

Each puppet exuded an aura not inferior to a Void Refinement Realm cultivator.

Aside from that, Zhou Yu noticed, above the crystal platform, four sharp swords were suspended.

These four swords gleamed with different hues, yet without exception, all radiated extremely terrifying Sword Force.

The Sword Force was hidden but fiercely powerful, and a mere glance evoked a stinging sensation in the eyes.

Of course, these posed no issue for Integration Realm cultivators.

Nevertheless, Zhou Yu took several more glances.

These four swords seemed to form a set of Sword Array.

Moreover, each sword was equivalent to a top-tier Primordial Ancient Treasure.

Linked together, they vaguely had a stance surpassing that of Primordial Ancient Treasures.

At that moment, dozens of exquisite maids approached Zhou Yu.

They respectfully surrounded Zhou Yu.

One of them said:

"Senior Zhou, please follow me."

"I’ll lead the way for you."

Zhou Yu nodded and walked alongside the maids.

Those around them naturally took notice of this scene.

For a moment, many were surprised, curious about Zhou Yu’s identity.

However, upon sensing the aura Zhou Yu exuded, everyone immediately fell silent and lowered their heads.

With the lead of the maids, Zhou Yu arrived at the central layer of the spherical space.

Here, there was an enormous pavilion.

The pavilion was filled with the sounds of birds and fragrant flowers, offering spiritual tea and spiritual wine, complete in every respect.

Standing on the terrace, one could overlook the entire venue.

"Senior Zhou, this is your exclusive room. If you find anything unsatisfactory, we can adjust it for you right away..."
