Chapter 1738: Chapter 1738: We Actually Caught Up

“Greetings to the inter-plane travelers, High Priest Demon Heart,”

The Great Elder’s voice trembled as he announced the identities of the two, and not only were his lips shaking, his whole body was quivering.

What kind of phenomenal luck had Xiang Qiyan stumbled upon, to be able to know the leaders of the two great holy lands and to have their strong support? If the others in the Feather Abyss Plane knew about this, they would surely be green with envy.

The Sect Master also bowed to the two, his old back bending slightly in the process.

The identities of these two people—neither was someone a mere Sect Master like him could afford to provoke. To think, this Gu Qingyu really was seeking death. How did she manage to attract these two here?

Thinking of this, he felt an added touch of disgust towards the Great Elder.

Look at what sort of granddaughter he had raised—never doing a single proper thing on ordinary days. Instead, how well she knew to make trouble!

Prince Yuun was also startled to hear of the two’s identities.

He had only guessed the identity of the inter-plane traveler but had not expected that a seemingly weak young girl would be the High Priest Demon Heart of Wulong Mountain.

Even though he was as stable as a bell, he still had to stand up in the face of the two’s statuses.

He didn’t go as far as to salute them, but he knew the proper courtesies had to be observed.

“What instructions do you have for us, esteemed ones?”

The Sect Master swallowed hard, cautiously asking.

And behind him, Mo Zheng was also frightened, her breathing becoming extremely suppressed. How could she have imagined that the person buying the Sky Phoenix Grass from her would be an inter-plane traveler?

Had she known, she would never have accepted Qian Jiyun’s money, right?

But thinking about it now was pointless, and fortunately, Qian Jiyun bore no grudge against her; otherwise, her fate would certainly not be a good one.

“Heart-protecting Jade,”

Qian Jiyun, who had been silent, uttered three words directly.

Upon hearing this, the Sect Master, the Great Elder, and all the Qingyun Sect disciples raised their heads to look at Qian Jiyun as if they were scared senseless.

The Heart-protecting Jade was their Sect’s artifact for protecting the Sect and also the key to unlocking the Flame Mountain Range. How could it be taken away just like that?

“Do the two of you wish to take the Heart-protecting Jade?”

The Sect Master asked somewhat uncertainly, hoping he had just heard wrongly, that he hadn’t heard clearly.

If the Qingyun Sect lost the Heart-protecting Jade, it would inevitably be consumed by other Sects. Even if they had the support of the Xiang Dynasty for the next fifty years, what about afterward?

“Sect Master, you misunderstand. We, as a couple, are not looking to take the Qingyun Sect’s Heart-protecting Jade, but to borrow it temporarily. We promise to return it after we are done using it,” An Jiuyue said.

Hearing this, the Sect Master finally let out a sigh of relief.

As long as they weren’t just taking the Heart-protecting Jade away without anything in return, that would be fine. If they said they would return it, then at least that offered a lifeline to the Qingyun Sect.

“Esteemed ones, here’s the thing. The Flame Mountain Range is about to open, and so the Heart-protecting Jade is still needed. May I ask when you two would need the Heart-protecting Jade?” he asked.

“There’s no rush with that.”

Zhan Beiye answered the question for them.

“It’s not easy for us to come to the Feather Abyss Plane, and we would like to enjoy it. The Flame Mountain Range, I’ve heard, is quite a novel place,” he said.

The meaning of his words couldn’t be more obvious—they wanted to enter the Flame Mountain Range.

“I’ve heard that the Flame Mountain Range opens every five years, which is also rare—it seems we’ve arrived just in time,” he said.
