Chapter 98: Bees Fill the Sky!

  "In the lower Xiaofeng River, I have met the Xiao brothers." The man smiled and bowed his hands to Xiao Yun.

  With a kind face, only twenty-three or four years old, but younger than Xiao Yun's actual age. After all, when Xiao Yun came from Earth, he was already 27 years old. Although Xiao Shan's body is young, his age must be calculated according to his actual age.

  "In the lower Xiao Yun, I have seen Brother Ji!"

  Although he didn't know the young man's exact identity, he was definitely a member of the royal family, with a noble status. He was willing to put aside his dignity and get acquainted with him, so Xiao Yun didn't dare to be slow and hastily returned a courtesy.

  "My name is Xiangyue!" The girl beside him said to Xiao Yun.

  "Have seen Miss Xin Yue."

  This girl was born with a beautiful appearance, looking like she's not even twenty years old yet. However, her lovely face is enough to make one's breath catch. Having seen many big stars in the past life, there were no lack of stunning beauties, but those were all packaged under the spotlight, with much worldly embellishment. This girl, however, was a rare gem of purity. Her eyes shone brightly like mirrors, exceptionally clear and transparent, a sight that Shao Yun had rarely seen before.

  Xiao Yun suddenly felt a bright light in front of her eyes, and couldn't help but take another two glances. She turned her head to look at Hong Ke Xin, these two girls together, really, each had their own unique beauty!

  "When we arrived here with Senior Jie, the gates of Huang Dao and Xia Dao had already been opened. If I'm not mistaken, two people should have gone in, right?" asked Xiao Yun.

  Xiang Liu nodded slightly.

  Yuan Wenda said, "I see the imperial way is open, and I know that my younger generation nephew has come in. This imperial way can only be entered by those with imperial blood!"

  "Ji Liu Feng Dao said, 'Ninth Uncle Huang, Father Emperor and Grandfather Emperor both ordered us to come find you, why did you stay in this sacred place?'"

  These two also saw Ji Yunwen for the first time, both of whom were of imperial bloodline and naturally had some similarities in appearance. Moreover, since Ji Yunwen actively revealed her identity, they confirmed that she was indeed the person they were looking for.

  "Yes, if your name hadn't remained on the ancestral tablet, everyone would have thought you were dead." Ji Xiangyue said.

  "We'll talk about it later." Ji Yunwen shook his head and sighed, without saying more. He looked up at the two of them, "Is Father Emperor and Imperial Brother doing well?"

  "Once you enter the Sacred Trace, you'll never come out," said Xiǎo Yuè. "The Emperor was worried and passed on the throne to my father, then went to Feng Chan Temple for secluded cultivation. It's been eighty-one years now."

  "Alas!"

  Yan Yunwen let out a long sigh, looking somewhat despondent. Now that he had finally fulfilled his wish, it was imaginable that after a hundred years, everything outside must have changed beyond recognition.

  "Senior, let's leave here first." Xiao Yun interjected, coming out of the crowd. It had been a long time since he left, and he was worried that he might not make it in time. If he missed the timing, it wouldn't be good.

  Ji Yunwen nodded, and the group retreated outward. Xiao Yun and Hong Kexin walked at the front, while Ji Yunwen followed behind with his twin nephews, discussing their own matters.

  ——

  "Xiao Da Ge, do you know that this 'Xuan Yuan Huang Zhong Fu' was written by the Music Saint Xuan Yuan herself?" Hong Ke Xin's excitement seemed to have not dissipated yet, as she waved the scroll in her hand, reluctant to part with it.

  Xiao Yun rolled her eyes, "Do you have to do this? You know I didn't gain anything, yet you're still showing off in front of me. Aren't you afraid I'll be jealous?"

  Hong Ke Xin turned around and looked at Xiao Yun, "Then I'll give you this 'Xuan Yuan Huang Zhong Fu'?"

  As she spoke, Hong Kexin handed the scroll over to Xiao Yun with a generous gesture.

  Xiao Yun was slightly taken aback, then waved his hand and said, "Forget it, a gentleman doesn't take away what others love. Besides, this is Li Er's gift to you, so just keep it well."

  "It's you who doesn't want it, so don't blame me!"

  Hong Ke Xin quickly withdrew her hand, leaving Xiao Yun speechless for a moment.

  "Hey, have you seen Li Erlie? What does he look like? Is he tall with a white beard and an immortal aura?" Xiao Yun asked Hong Kexin.

  Hong Ke Xin tilted her head and said, "Immortal bearing? Should be counted as one, I suppose. He's not tall, an old man with big ears, those two ears of his could rival my two combined."

  "Big Ears Old Man?"

  Xiao Yun was taken aback by the words, and someone said that a little girl named Lele also said that an old man with big ears had left her there. Could it be that the old man with big ears she mentioned was actually Li Er?

  At that time, a white light flashed, and only a white paper was left. Xiao Yun didn't see clearly either, and he didn't know if the white paper was the little girl who had transformed, but this possibility is very high, after all, the little girl said she wanted to follow him, and what followed him out was just that piece of paper.

  Li Er let her wait for someone with a predestined relationship. That little girl was obviously not ordinary. If that piece of paper was really transformed by the little girl, then what kind of thing was it?

  It was left by the Music God Li Er, so it definitely wouldn't be an ordinary object. Thinking of what Xi Yun had mentioned about the Gate of Wonders, a thought flashed through Xiao Yun's mind - could that piece of white paper be the legendary Gate of Wonders?

  His mind sank into the sea of knowledge, that white paper was still floating quietly above the Hao Chi pool. After looking at it for half a day, Xiao Yun felt that his own ideas were ridiculous and it was difficult to connect this thing with the mysterious and wonderful gates, he really thought about it until he went crazy.

  "Xiao Da Ge, what are you thinking?"

  The words of Hong Ke Xin beside her ear brought Xiao Yun back to reality.

  Xiao Yun shook his head and walked out of the cave, coming to the forest in the canyon. The forest was shrouded in mist, with a bewildering array surrounding them, they were unable to leave, and could only wait for Ji Yunwen to come out.

  "Huh? Brother Xiao, listen, it sounds like there's a fight going on outside Linzi!" Hong Kexin suddenly said to Xiao Yun.

  Xiao Yun perked up his ears, and from outside the forest came a faint shouting sound, there should be many people. At this time, Ji Yunwen and three others also walked out.

  Xiao Yun Dao said, "Senior, someone has arrived!"

  The three also heard the movement outside, Ji Yunwen said, "This maze is not low in rank, they can't come in."

  As he spoke, Ji Yunwen took the lead, leading Xiao Yun and others into the forest, passing through the vast mist, walking towards the outside.

  ——

  "Hum! Hum! Hum!"

  As soon as they left the forest, they heard a buzzing noise, and the sky was filled with small black shadows chasing after people in the canyon.

  Some were running around in a panic, some were fighting back with all their might, and others were rolling on the ground in a frenzy, wailing cries that never ceased.

  "What are these people living on? What kind of trouble can't they stir up, and yet they have to stir up the Emperor's wrath!" Seeing this scene, Ji Yunwen was so angry that he blew his beard.

  It turned out that the figures flying all over the sky were the group of Emperor Bees they had seen when they entered the valley. At that time, Ji Yunwen had warned them to be careful not to provoke them, but he did not expect to be provoked by these people.

  "Huh, is it them?"

  There were indeed many people, and judging from their attire, it seemed that several sects had gathered here. His gaze fell on a group of disciples who were using the War Melody to defend against the swarm of bees, and Xiao Yun's eyebrows furrowed.

  That was Lin Chuyin and Lu Wanjun, the Tianyin Sect members. The six of them were now down to five, and Meng Xiaobao and Gu Changfeng's bodies still showed signs of injury. It seemed that this group had also gone through a lot of hardships.

  That huge beehive fell on the edge of the cliff, and I don't know what these people have done. The old nest was overturned, and it's no wonder that this group of emperor bees would go crazy.

  A swarm of bees fills the sky, stinging anyone in sight. The emperor bee is extremely ferocious, and even a skilled practitioner would be no match for it. Just a few dozen bees would be enough to paralyze someone, and any more than that could lead to death from bee venom.

  Seeing Lin Chunyin and others gradually becoming unable to hold on, Xiao Yun also didn't dare to rush over rashly. His gaze fell on the small river not far behind several people, and he immediately shouted, "Lin Shimei, Xiaobao, quickly jump into the river!"

  A sudden explosion echoed through the entire valley, Lin Chunyin and others were fighting hard against the enemy, hearing this sound, turned around to see that it was Xiao Yun, instantly delighted.

  "Hiss!"

  However, it was just this moment of distraction that allowed an imperial bee to seize the opportunity and sting Lin Chun's right hand, causing her immense pain and nearly dropping the wooden zither she held.

  "Go!"

  Xu Wanjun plucked the strings of her zither with a sudden force, sending out a wave of sound that forced the Emperor's bees to retreat. Several people rolled and crawled, flipping into the nearby small river and hiding at the bottom of the water.
