Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 1253: He Must Be a Master, Right?
Previously on Checking in for 100,000 Years...
Gu Anran took the Mysterious Yin Zhu Fruit, her small face full of heroism showing a delighted expression.
Afterward.
She looked at the black-robed man, blinked, and asked in a low voice, "Grid, should we go?"
This black-robed man had an enigmatic origin, giving her an indescribable sense of mystery.
Gu Anran was worried it might be a trap.
The young man patted his chest, looking fearless, and laughed, "Miss, since there’s Mysterious Yin Zhu Fruit over there, we definitely have to go!"
"Alright then."
Seeing the young man’s confidence, Gu Anran nodded.
"Where is the Underworld Emperor City?"
The young man looked up at the black-robed man, waving the invitation in his hand, and calmly asked.
The black-robed man gestured with one hand, pointing in a direction, and chuckled softly, "Deep in the Yin Wind Range."
"Good."
The young man nodded.
"With this invitation, Yin Soul Beasts will no longer attack you along the way!"
The black-robed man laughed.
After saying that, he waved his hand symbolically in farewell, then vanished into the yin wind with a flick.
"This guy... is really weird!"
Gu Anran blinked, speaking with some surprise.
The young man nodded, "Hmm... this guy certainly has a mysterious demeanor."
"But, Miss, you don’t have to worry.
With me here, whatever tricks the Yin Emperor might play won’t work. If he has Mysterious Yin Zhu Fruit, I’ll force him to hand them all over to you!"
The young man puffed out his chest, arrogantly smiling.
Out of trust for the young man, Gu Anran could only chuckle back, "Alright, I’ll leave everything to you then."
"Miss, you don’t need to be polite with me; it’s what I should do."
The young man scratched his head, speaking bashfully.
If Ye Yun were here, he would surely recognize that the young man’s shyness was merely an act.
This guy was trying to win Gu Anran’s favor to indirectly please Ye Yun.
"Grid, why are you so nice to me?"
Gu Anran took a deep breath, gazing calmly at the young man and asking.
It’s something she always wanted to know.
Along the way, Grid saved her several times, not only taking her through the Yin Wind Range but also helping her collect precious Mysterious Yin Zhu Fruit, without asking for any reward.
This puzzled her.
She had asked several times before, but Grid always changed the subject mysteriously.
The more she didn’t understand, the more Gu Anran felt uneasy.
"Miss, actually... it’s like this..."
The young man stammered, his eyes darting wildly for several seconds, then he scratched his head and continued, "I’m actually a close friend of your Senior Brother Ye Yun..."
"Oh... you’re close friends with my Senior Brother!"
Gu Anran blinked, revealing a look of sudden realization.
"Thank you, Grid. Once we leave the Yin Wind Range, can you take me to find Senior Brother?"
Gu Anran smiled as she spoke.
Ever since she escaped the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple, she’s been drifting, and has not seen her Senior Brother again.
Her heart misses him deeply.
And since Grid is so powerful, he will definitely be able to take her to find her Senior Brother.
"No problem, once we’re done with things in the Yin Wind Range, I’ll take you to find the master..."
The young man chuckled foolishly.
"Master?"
Gu Anran was stunned.
The young man’s face turned red, and he burst into laughter, "Haha, I misspoke, I meant your Senior Brother Ye Yun!"
Gu Anran smiled and didn’t take it to heart.
To her, how could Grid, at the Divine King Realm, possibly call Senior Brother "master."
After all, her Senior Brother’s cultivation base wasn’t that high.
As the young boy and girl were talking, a gigantic Celestial Boat passed overhead.
"Huh, how strange, how did this two-person team receive an invitation?"
From the Celestial Boat, a man’s surprised voice came.
A red-robed man stood at the bow, holding an invitation, staring down intensely.
All along the way.
He had seen several powerful factions with this kind of invitation.
Yet, the young boy and girl below also had an invitation.
This surprised him greatly.
Upon sensing the young man’s cultivation base, he found it vague, like an illusion, difficult to discern.
"This must be an expert, right?"
The red-robed man thought to himself, quickly lowering the Celestial Boat in the young man’s direction.
"Grid, someone’s coming! There are so many people on that Celestial Boat!"
Gu Anran glanced up, and was immediately startled.
There were five to six hundred people on the Celestial Boat, strong as clouds, emitting powerful auras.
This made her, at the True God Realm, tremble slightly.
Seeing Gu Anran tremble, the young man’s brow furrowed, his expression terribly stern.
"Buzz!"
He lightly shook his body, releasing a Divine King Realm aura that swept in all directions.
The Celestial Boat, about to land nearby, was instantly suppressed and crashed down with a bang.
Boom!
It hit the mountaintop, rocks flying, as if the sky was collapsing.
"Ah—"
All the cultivators on the Celestial Boat cried out in fear, nearly dying.
The red-robed man was only at the Ten Layer Divine Esteemed Realm, and facing the Divine King Expert, he had no room for resistance.
"Senior, we meant no harm, I only wanted to come and greet you!"
The red-robed man clasped his hands, bowing low, trembling.
Everyone behind him bowed their heads, stooped down, not daring to breathe.
The surroundings were deathly silent.
Only the yin wind whistled past.
"Can’t you rascals be more restrained? You scared the heck out of my Miss!"
The young man squinted his eyes thinly, speaking coldly.
"This..."
Feeling the powerful aura, Gu Anran stared blankly at the young man, realizing, "Grid is a Divine King Realm, no wonder he’s so strong, no wonder he doesn’t care about the Yin Emperor!"
Scared the Miss?
Upon hearing the young man’s words.
The red-robed man’s face went sluggish, turning to stone.
This True God-stage girl had an even more revered identity than this Divine King-stage young man?
Unbelievable.
Though confused, he dared not question.
"Senior..."
After a few breaths, the red-robed man mustered the courage, raising his head, smiling bitterly, "We truly mean no offense to you and the Miss..."
"Alright, seeing as you’re sincerely apologizing, I won’t hold it against you!"
The young man clapped his hands, withdrawing the powerful aura he released.
"If you’d offer a Mysterious Yin Zhu Fruit, I’ll completely overlook this!"
He added.
"Alright, Senior!"
The red-robed man was forthright, taking out a Mysterious Yin Zhu Fruit, and respectfully offering it to the young man.
The young man accepted the Mysterious Yin Zhu Fruit and handed it to Gu Anran.
"Miss, we’ve got another one!"
The young man chuckled.
"Mm!"
Gu Anran nodded.
In front of the red-robed man, she didn’t show overly excited expressions.
"Huh?" The young man’s gaze flitted to the red-robed man’s hand, asking with a laugh, "You also received an invitation? Was it sent by some Ghost Envoy under the Yin Emperor?"
"Yes, Senior!"
The red-robed man respectfully replied, exhaling deeply.
This Senior was quite reasonable.
Upon presenting a Mysterious Yin Zhu Fruit, this Divine King Expert didn’t deliberately trouble him further.
"I’m from the Outland, unfamiliar with the Tianluo Domain and Hell Ghost Domain, who exactly is this so-called Yin Emperor?"
The young man asked.
"Senior, deep in the Yin Wind Range lies a forbidden area, purported to be a place where even God King Experts may perish. Originally, no one knew what was there, but today’s appearance of the Ghost Envoy clarified that the owner of the forbidden area is indeed the Yin Emperor..."
The red-robed man spoke gravely.
When mentioning the forbidden area, a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.
