Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1764 (Raw 1776): Old Friends Still the Same

Liu Ruyue!

The red-dressed woman was Qingyun Peak's Liu Ruyue. She had come here today to investigate the validity of the ancient Dragon Race totem's news.

A totem was extremely important to any race. If the totem ended up in the hands of other races, it would be very bad for the Dragon Race, even if the totem was from the ancient Azure Dragon, an extinct bloodline.

Liu Ruyue said softly, "Junior Brother Jiang, go and investigate the information within one hour."

That handsome man smiled and said, "One hour is not necessary. Fifteen minutes is sufficient for that."

Liu Ruyue frowned slightly. This Jiang Cheng was a disciple of the White Dragon Race. He had excellent talent and pretty good resources available to him.

After he entered Ancestor Dragon City, the seniors of the race got Liu Ruyue to keep an eye out for him.

Everything was good about this person. However, his character was somewhat prideful, and he tended to be overbearing in handling matters. He liked to use violence to solve problems.

In the end, Liu Ruyue did not say anything. She led the other people to an inn in Dragon Flame City to await news.

Not keeping them waiting, Jiang Cheng returned in fifteen minutes as he said.

"Senior Sister Liu, I already investigated the matter."

Liu Ruyue nodded and asked, "What exactly is going on?"

Jiang Cheng reported, "The rumor originated from a cultivator called Xiao Chen. Everyone says that he has the Dragon Race totem, but no one ever saw him take it out. They only heard that he and some cultivators saw a Dragon Race totem in an ancient dragon city."

After Jiang Cheng spoke, someone immediately gave a calm analysis.

"Senior Sister, it looks like this rumor is not credible. Our Dragon Race totems are not easily obtainable by outsiders. The Dragon Race totem's rejection of other races is extraordinarily strong. If others could lay hands on the totem just like that, then it would definitely be damaged and not be very important."

However, Liu Ruyue continued to ponder those words. She whispered, "Xiao Chen? That name sounds somewhat familiar…however, I cannot recall who it is. Strange."

Jiang Cheng revealed a strange expression and smiled. "Senior Sister, whether you are familiar with this person or not, I'll capture that person and interrogate him. After that, we will be able to dispel all doubts."

"No. Before the matter is clarified, there is no need to attack others blindly. Who was the last person to see him? Bring me to him."

With regard to Liu Ruyue's calm way of handling things, Jiang Cheng just nodded in agreement but did not really take it to heart.

"I knew that Senior Sister would say this. I've already brought that person here."

Jiang Cheng smiled faintly and clapped his hands. Feng Yuqiang appeared nervously.

When Feng Yuqiang saw the extraordinary youths seated at the table, his heart quivered.

Dragon Race…

Existences among the top one hundred races of the Great Desolate Eon's ten thousand races. With one look, based on their air, it was clear that these people were from the Six Colored Divine Dragons and had respected statuses.

Even if they were not, it would not be far from the truth.

Feng Yuqiang would not be a match for any of them. Furthermore, the other side still had a vast faction, which was the Dragon Race, behind them.

To Feng Yuqiang, these were people of a completely different level. Normally, he could not possibly come in contact with geniuses or outstanding talents of such high levels.

"Senior is the last person to see that Xiao Chen person? Please tell me about him in detail. The totem is very important to my Dragon Race. I cannot be careless about this."

Liu Ruyue spoke respectfully to this old man as she looked at him. This inspired fear and trepidation in Feng Yuqiang.

Feng Yuqiang promptly bowed and said, "I don't deserve to be addressed as Senior. Just call me Old Feng."

Jiang Cheng said with a serious expression, "This is our Senior Sister Liu, the Holy Daughter of the White Dragon bloodline. Just address her as Your Highness the Holy Daughter. Spill what you know; do not leave anything out."

"Yes. Yes. Yes."

Feng Yuqiang's voice quavered. He simply had not imagined that he would have the opportunity to see the Dragon Race's Holy Daughter.

He spoke of everything he should about Xiao Chen and even things that he should not.

After Liu Ruyue heard this, her expression turned serious as she considered Feng Yuqiang. "With your strength, you also wanted to defeat that Xiao Chen and take my Dragon Race totem? How bold of you!"

"I don't dare to. I don't dare to."

Feng Yuqiang immediately felt a strong pressure bearing down on him. He quickly changed tunes and claimed that he was muddle-headed at that time, asking for forgiveness.

"Senior Sister, it looks like whether there is a totem or not is still a mystery. We need to find this Xiao Chen and interrogate him before we can tell, one way or another."

The person who made the previous calm analysis spoke once again.

Liu Ruyue nodded and said, "Right. You go and handle it, then. Although a totem that can be subdued by an outsider would definitely not be complete, we cannot be careless in this matter… Wait a moment."

She spoke halfway before suddenly stopping.

Earlier, that Feng Yuqiang said that within half a year, this Xiao Chen had defeated all the experts in Dragon Flame City.

Furthermore, Xiao Chen had defeated Feng Yuqiang in ten moves.

Although Feng Yuqiang was trash to Liu Ruyue, he was still an early-stage Star Venerate. Someone who could easily defeat him in ten moves would definitely be strong and talented. She might not care about such a person, but her companions might not be able to handle him.

If that Xiao Chen were to escape capture, it would be somewhat problematic to search for him.

"Junior Brother Jiang, you lead the team. You must find this person. Remember, ask first and do not attack if you can help it."

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Don't worry. Leave it to me. However, after we leave, what will Senior Sister do?"

Liu Ruyue replied seriously, "I need to find that underground dragon city and investigate the truth. I need to see if that really is an ancient city of my Dragon Race."

"Very well. In that case, Senior Sister, take care. Just wait for our good news."

Jiang Cheng's tone suggested that the matter of seeking out Xiao Chen was in the bag and nothing to take seriously.

Upon seeing Jiang Cheng like this, she could not help feeling her head ache. She looked at that calmer disciple and said, "Wu Xu, keep an eye on Junior Brother Jiang. After all, this is the Soaring Dragon Marquis's conferred land. I do not want any unnecessary conflict with him."

"Right. Senior Sister, don't worry. I think Junior Brother Jiang knows his limits."

It was more efficient to work as a group. They set out to uncover Xiao Chen's movements. This left Liu Ruyue alone in the hall.

Since no one was bothering with him, Feng Yuqiang asked nervously, "Your Highness the Holy Daughter, if there is nothing more, may this old man leave?"

"There is no rush." Liu Ruyue took a sip of tea. Now that there was no one else around, her expression relaxed somewhat, no longer looking that stern. "Draw that Xiao Chen. I want to see what he looks like."

Cultivators had very strong observation skills and memories. Even if they were not good at drawing, one would be able to recall anyone's appearance and air with just one look.

As a Star Venerate, Feng Yuqiang naturally had no problem doing so. He prepared ink and paper and started drawing after a while.

The White Robed Xiao Chen held his saber while standing on the roof with his full head of long hair alternating between black and white.

Xiao Chen had a handsome appearance, and his expression seemed cold.

Liu Ruyue waved her hand, dismissing Feng Yuqiang. She was entranced by the drawing. The person in the painting was very familiar, but she just could not recall where she saw him before.

Xiao Chen. The White Robed Xiao Chen.

"These robes, this person, why are they so familiar?" Liu Ruyue felt confused as she studied the painting with a grave expression on her face.

Of course, Liu Ruyue was familiar with these.

The white robes were the Clear Wind Robes that Liu Ruyue personally gave Xiao Chen. He had been wearing them ever since.

Although the Clear Wind Robes were not Treasure Tools, they were a pretty extraordinary Secret Treasure at that time. They could clean themselves automatically and featured self-repair on top of many other functions.

As for the appearance of the person, that was the person she loved. After ten-odd years, Xiao Chen's air had changed, but his appearance had not changed much. How could she not be familiar with this?

When one was young, one did not understand love. One only knew that one had to proclaim it loudly.

At the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, Xiao Chen once shouted Liu Ruyue's name atop tall mountains, wanting to say the things in his heart to the one he loved.

He never forgot about his past at Qingyun Peak.

He had left the Kunlun Realm only to seek out Liu Ruyue.

However, it seemed like Liu Ruyue did not remember the past. She was entranced by the painting but could not recall anything.

"I must have been mistaken and do not know this person."

This was the conclusion Liu Ruyue arrived at after a long time. She could not find such a person in her memories.

Liu Ruyue was very confident in her memory. If she had truly seen this person before, she would definitely remember him.

Since she could not recall any memory of him, she could only say that she had never seen him before.

"I'll stop thinking for now. I should go and look for that underground dragon city. Perhaps I might remember when Junior Brother Jiang brings this person back."

Liu Ruyue recovered her previous expression as she put down the painting. Then, she stood up and left.

Just as she was about to leave the hall, she paused for a moment before returning. Then, she placed the painting in her storage ring before finally leaving.
