Chapter 68 The Shocking Triple Moon Decree!
"Senior—" Lu Linglong felt uncomfortable under Li Muxuan's scorching gaze, which was almost tangible, and managed to force a slightly stiff smile.
"Master, please calm down. Don't frighten Linglong. She's just an ordinary person who has just gone through so much." Seeing this, Xu San quickly whispered a reminder, afraid that his unpredictable master would do something rash.
Upon hearing this, Li Muxuan suddenly realized his lapse in composure and quickly took two steps back. He moved his hands awkwardly at his sides, seemingly trying to adopt a more amiable posture, but he appeared somewhat clumsy.
He tried to soften his tone, but the urgency in his eyes didn't lessen in the slightest: "Little girl, don't be afraid, don't be afraid—I'm just... too excited. That—besides the life-saving talisman from last night, did he—that person—leave anything else behind? Or, did he say anything special to you? Did he give you any instructions?"
"Explanation?" Lu Linglong thought for a moment. Last night, Zhou Yi did give her instructions not to tell anyone about seeing him with another girl.
"Does keeping last night's events a secret count?"
"Yes! Of course it counts! It must be kept secret!" Li Muxuan nodded repeatedly, as if this were some kind of crucial imperial edict.
"And—that armor piece called the Three Truths in the Same Month Order, he said—it was given to me by him," Lu Linglong added, her gaze unconsciously drifting towards Feng Baobao.
"Xiangzi! Where's the stuff?! Bring it out now!" Upon hearing this, Li Muxuan became agitated again and immediately turned to Xu Xiang, his tone almost commanding.
"Uncle Li, the things are here with me," Feng Baobao replied in her distinctive, slightly Sichuan-accented, flat tone. As she spoke, she reached into the pocket of her oversized uniform.
All eyes in the office were on her hand.
However, Feng Baobao suddenly stopped moving, and a very subtle expression, like "confusion," appeared on her face, which was rare for her. She tilted her head slightly, as if she couldn't quite understand.
A sense of foreboding washed over everyone.
Sure enough, Feng Baobao said slowly, "That's strange—I clearly put it in this pocket, it was just here a moment ago."
She turned the bag inside out; it was empty except for a few loose threads and dust.
"You—you lost your things?!" Lu Linglong panicked, jumped up from the sofa, rushed to Feng Baobao's side, and without caring about anything else, reached out and searched through Feng Baobao's other pockets and the corners of her clothes where she might have hidden something.
Feng Baobao was like a dimensional pocket; Lu Linglong rummaged through her belongings and pulled out a jumble of random things: a half-eaten steamed bun, crumpled banknotes, a few rusty coins, a spare key, and even some unidentified small parts—scattered in a small patch. However, the ancient "Three Truths in the Same Month Token" seemed to have vanished without a trace, as if it had evaporated.
"It's not here—it's not here either—" Lu Linglong's heart grew colder the more she searched, and her voice became tearful and anxious.
"It's not there!" Feng Baobao suddenly grabbed Lu Linglong's wrist as she tried to reach for her more private area behind her waist, stopping her movement. Her expression remained unchanged, but her actions were resolute.
"Then think carefully! Where did you lose it?! That's very important!!!" Lu Linglong was both anxious and angry, and couldn't help but raise her voice. She suddenly straightened up, and because of her excitement and the large movement, her vision became slightly dizzy and unsteady.
However, in the instant her gaze wavered, she seemed to catch a glimpse of two somewhat familiar figures outlined in a pale golden mist in the air above the office.
The figure of the girl dressed in ancient costume seemed to notice Lu Linglong's gaze and nodded slightly in her direction. A calm and gentle voice seemed to resound directly in her mind: "Hello, Miss Lu, we meet again."
"It's you!" Lu Linglong blurted out, saying half a sentence to the air, before suddenly realizing that Li Muxuan and Xu Xiang couldn't see the two of them! She immediately stopped talking, her heart pounding.
The other people in the office, Xu San, Xu Xiang, and especially Li Muxuan, all heard and saw Lu Linglong's abrupt action and the half-finished sentence.
They stared at Lu Linglong with surprise and uncertainty, then looked in the direction her gaze had been focused—
There was only the white ceiling and chandelier of the office, completely empty, with nothing unusual about it.
But Lu Linglong's cry of "It's you!" was crystal clear. She had indeed seen something and was talking to some unseen being!
Could it be—?!
Xu Xiang and Li Muxuan quickly exchanged a glance, both seeing undisguised shock and solemnity in each other's eyes.
Before Lu Linglong began to speak, in order to ensure the privacy and safety of the conversation, they had already quietly spread their own "stance" or "field" throughout the entire office.
They dare not say they can defend against all methods in the world, but no form of energy fluctuation, concealment of form, or even the slightest flow of "qi" can escape their perception.
However, in that location, within Lu Linglong's field of vision, it was still a "void" in their perception; no "existence" that did not belong to this space was detected!
"Linglong!" Li Muxuan reacted swiftly, his figure flashing as he stood in front of Lu Linglong, shielding her behind him. His gaze swept across the surroundings like lightning, his voice tense and wary, "There are outsiders here?! Where?!"
The air around him seemed to freeze, and the seven cold stars reappeared faintly.
"Ah? No, no! There are no outsiders here!" Lu Linglong was startled by Li Muxuan's tense demeanor and quickly waved her hands, trying to cover it up with a dry laugh. But she was inwardly flustered, unsure how to explain the scene that only she could see.
However, a voice tinged with a hint of helplessness and mockery rang out again in her ear: "Alright, stop pretending. Your acting is too stiff; it won't fool those two seasoned veterans who've been navigating the underworld for decades."
"This—can I say this?" Lu Linglong asked instinctively, her voice filled with uncertainty.
"Linglong? Who are you talking to? Who's here?" Xu San was also made scalp tingle by the eerie atmosphere. He looked warily at the area above his head that Li Muxuan's flying sword was vaguely pointing at. He couldn't see anything except the smooth ceiling, so he quickly moved to Li Muxuan's side.
"Baby? Can you sense anything? Where is she?" Li Muxuan asked Feng Baobao in a deep voice.
He knew that among everyone present, Feng Baobao's innate spiritual sense was the most unique and acute, and she could even detect the malicious gazes directed at her.
Upon hearing this, Feng Baobao raised her head, her large, empty eyes staring straight at a certain point in the air. She slowly extended a finger, pointing to the area where Li Muxuan's flying sword was hovering: "It seems—it's right there. I couldn't find it just now, but now—it seems like they're looking at me."
"Them?!" Li Muxuan caught the key word, his eyes sharpening. "More than one?"
Before he could finish speaking, he no longer hesitated, and a thought struck him!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!
The seven cold lights instantly transformed into seven silver threads that preyed on those in need, accompanied by a piercing shriek as they hurtled towards the area Feng Baobao pointed to, frantically traversing and slaying at different angles and extreme speeds! The sword light wove a dense, impenetrable net of death, as if to completely tear apart and annihilate that "void" space!
The office was filled with a chilling atmosphere, and the temperature plummeted.
However, after several rounds of flying, Li Muxuan frowned. The feedback from the flying sword was empty; it hadn't hit any entity, nor had it triggered any energy barriers or disturbances in the concealment formations.
"They...left?" Li Muxuan retrieved his flying sword, hovering beside him, and asked Feng Baobao uncertainly.
"No," Feng Baobao shook her head, her finger still pointing to the same spot, her tone certain, "It's always been there."
It didn't move.
Inside the golden passage, Zhou Yi's eyelids twitched as he watched the small swords flying around in front of him, obscuring his view. He said to Lu Linglong, "Tell Li Muxuan to put away those pieces of junk and get out of my sight! They're annoying my eyes."
Upon hearing this tone, Lu Linglong's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly called out to Li Muxuan, "Senior! Stop right now!"
"Quickly put away the flying sword! That...that person is going to get angry!"
"Who? Who's there? Who's angry?" Li Muxuan not only didn't stop, but instead stuck out his neck, adopting a "who cares who it is, come out and fight if you dare" attitude. He even deliberately manipulated several flying swords, making them tremble slightly in that area and emit a provocative low hum.
Seeing Zhou Yi's expression darken visibly within the passage, Lu Linglong panicked and, disregarding everything else, shouted, "It's that one! The founder of the Three Truths School! The immortal who ascended to heaven!"
These words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky, instantly plunging the office into a deathly silence.
"Linglong—you, who did you say?" Li Muxuan turned his head sharply, his gaze fixed on Lu Linglong. The arrogance on his face froze, replaced by extreme shock and disbelief, and his voice even changed.
Lu Linglong was afraid they wouldn't believe her, so she quickly gestured to the name and described it as detailed as possible: "He—he calls himself Zhou Yi! Short hair, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, his figure—about as tall and slender as Fourth Brother?"
He was wearing a short jacket like those from the Republican era, and behind his waist—it looked like he was carrying something resembling a sword case!
She carefully observed Zhou Yi and continued, "He is now standing on a very thick tree branch, with his arms crossed, and his face looks rather pale."
Finally, she roughly relayed the impatient words: "He—he just said to tell Li Muxuan to get lost, I find him annoying."
"Crackling sound—"
As soon as Lu Linglong finished speaking, the seven flying swords that had been hovering in the air, gleaming with cold light, seemed to lose all their support in an instant, and fell to the smooth floor with a crisp thud.
Li Muxuan himself was struck dumb, his legs suddenly went weak, and he felt as if his spine had been removed, staggering and about to collapse!
"Master!" Xu San reacted quickly, stepping forward to support him and prevent him from kneeling on the ground.
Li Muxuan seemed oblivious to Xu San's support, staring blankly at the empty ceiling, his lips trembling as he uttered a muttered, almost dreamlike voice: "How could this be—how could this be—you—you're still here? Didn't you already—already ascend?!"
His eyes, initially filled with shock, suddenly blazed with an almost burning light, a mixture of ecstasy and boundless anticipation: "Could it be—could it be—you're back?! You can actually come back?!"
Seeing this, Lu Linglong realized they had misunderstood and quickly waved her hand to explain, "No, senior! It's not like that."
""
"That person told me that the 'Three Truths in the Same Month' token is a magical artifact that allows people at different points in time to communicate!"
"It can connect three time periods: the past in which that person resides, the present in which I reside, and —"
There is another future in which...
She struggled to organize her thoughts, trying to explain this incomprehensible concept: "In other words, the person I'm talking to—is still in the Republican era, the era before his—ascension!"
The amount of information conveyed in these words is even more unbelievable and shocks common sense than the "appearance of the patriarch" just now!
"This—how is this possible?!" Xu San was the first to exclaim, his face filled with absurdity. "How could such a magical artifact exist in the world? Communication across time? This—this has already exceeded the scope of supernatural powers and spells!"
Even Xu Xiang, who is usually calm and composed and has seen a lot, frowned deeply at this moment. Although he did not openly question it, the light flashing in his eyes clearly showed that he was also full of doubt and disbelief.
How to have real-time conversations with people from the past and future?
Even when considered within the context of "ascended beings" or "immortals," such methods are far too defiant and challenge the existing cognitive framework!
The main issue is that this has never happened before. There haven't even been any rumors about it. If the founders of those major sects truly possessed the means to communicate with the future, they couldn't have left no trace. After all these years, it would probably have been widely publicized long ago.
If this is true, then what does time mean in the face of this being?
Is there anything in this world that he can't do?!
"It's true! Third Brother! Uncle Xu!"
Looking at their doubtful eyes, Lu Linglong took a deep breath, her tone becoming unusually serious and resolute, as if she wanted to forcefully imprint this incredible truth into their consciousness: "That night, when I was at my most desperate, it was the Three Truths Under the Same Moon Order that suddenly activated, allowing me to see them and hear their voices! It was me who asked that person—him from the past—for help!"
Her voice trembled slightly, carrying the shock of memory and the lingering feeling of surviving a catastrophe: "And then—there came the magical runes that emerged from the soil, and then there came that—the Scattered King Sword Formation that obliterated all threats!"
She paused, looked at the crowd still in a state of shock, and said clearly, word by word, "That talisman that saved my life and possessed immense power—was planted by that person decades ago for me—for me at this moment, in this situation!"
"Everything he planned was to ensure that he could save me at that crucial moment last night!"
