Chapter 1397: Chapter 870: Mystery of Later Generations_2 Chapter 1397: Chapter 870: Mystery of Later Generations_2 “Rest assured, it has been suppressed by this seat.” Jiang Hui regained his composure, nodded, and did not resort to mystifying pretenses.

The main reason is just as he had said earlier, Ye Fan’s personality really suited his own temperament.

As friends, they can go through fire and water for each other; as opponents, unless they are irreconcilable and resort to any means necessary, it’s highly unlikely they’d be put to death.

Moreover, when encountering strangers or arriving at new places, the other party always starts off by speaking politely, unless you try to trample on him from the get-go.

Resolute, upright…

Of course, the same as He Shi Hao, with a bit of a dark side too.

However, this is only towards enemies; for friends, there’s no need to worry about such traits.

Just like Shi Hao, who for the sake of avenging the Little Antler Ant, pursued Er Wu Shuang across half the universe.

It might not be described as wholehearted devotion, but to have such friendship in this world is already rare.

“Sigh…”

Upon hearing this, not only Ye Fan, but No Origin as well, took a long sigh of relief.

It’s good that it has been suppressed.

The loss of a Phantom Immortal Emperor must be a significant one for them… just a bit worried if the Bizarre Clan might trace it back here.

But this is beyond their ability to intervene.

For one, because they cannot stay in this period of time for too long, after all, it’s not their own temporal node, and the cultivation of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor is not enough to really manipulate time.

Secondly, Huang’s relationship with The Master of Liu Village is too close, after all, Huang has never treated anyone else like this, inevitably some influence will be there, but The Master of Liu Village doesn’t care at all, presumably, there must be a way to resolve it, or a way to avoid it…

With the mist of pale smoke lingering, the four chatted until the sun set.

The sunset, like a massive wheel, descended slowly, and the horizon was dyed a magnificent golden red by its afterglow.

Thousands of golden rays poured down from the heavens, as if the edge of the sky was ablaze.

Given everyone’s realm, naturally, there is no need to eat, having long since practiced fasting, but it’s rare to gather together, and without wine and delicacies, mere dry chatter always feels like something’s missing.

Night falls.

The bright moon cast down a clear glow, illuminating the area as if it were daylight.

Old man Lin specially delivered a table full of freshly made, steaming dishes.

Jiang Hui himself is a food lover.

Even though he practiced fasting, he still relished food, for it’s not as though he lost his sense of taste; on the contrary, the flavors linger delightfully on the palate, so why not enjoy it.

Jiang Hui could actually conjure it directly, after all, with the Great Creation Technique as the basis, The Law Follows the Utterance works surprisingly well, and this is what he does on a regular basis.

However, in front of guests, this is naturally not acceptable as it might lead to misunderstandings, so he simply instructed Old man Lin to prepare some of the kitchen’s specialties.

The cooking skills of the village chefs, under his guidance, have long since improved by leaps and bounds, enhancing the taste significantly, and it’s no longer the crude cooking of the past.

Ye Fan and the other two, who have long been preoccupied with dealing with the Bizarre Clan, haven’t tasted this kind of Mortal World food for countless eons. When they saw the full table of dishes, they were all shocked, having almost forgotten the taste, and they were even more surprised to find that an Immortal Emperor was still keen on Mortal World flavors.

Fortunately,
The unique aroma of the dishes evoked everyone’s memories, and they all began to eat.

“Delicious!”

“Not bad at all, Brother Jiang of the Dao, the food in the village indeed counts as a gourmet delicacy!”

“Such a familiar flavor, I don’t know how many years it’s been since I last experienced it, if not for Brother Jiang, I might have completely forgotten it…”

…

…

After the wine went around three times and the plates were in disarray, it was the second half of the night, and the gathering finally dispersed.

The main reason was that everyone had dispelled their cultivation, and the improved Monkey Wine from the village was not low in strength, so they all drank themselves into a stupor.

But a light breeze blew, and the drunkenness cleared.

“I have already arranged accommodation for you all, at the old places. Ye and Fierce Man, you should remember, right?”

Jiang Hui laughed.

Ye Fan and Cruel Man immediately nodded: “Of course we remember, we just need to take No Origin with us, Brother Jiang should rest earlier.”

Rest is an extraordinarily cherished word for all three of them.

Even a Quasi-Immortal Emperor with boundless energy, who cares not for eating, drinking, or sleeping for eons, felt an unprecedented exhaustion after just a short battle with the Bizarre Clan.

Now that there was an opportunity, they naturally needed to rest right away.

“Take it easy, the three of you.” Jiang Hui nodded, indicating that Ye Fan and the others could handle things as they saw fit.

…

In the southwestern part of the village.

Green Mountain.

Named for its gallery-like curved waist.

It was also the mountain used by the village to take care of guests. The mountain’s buildings were not dense, but it actually concealed many Cave Heavens with countless different accommodations, nestled amidst the verdant green and rosy hues.

At this moment.

Halfway up the mountain, within an unbroken stretch of residences.

Ye Fan’s face bore a contemplative expression,
He had actually been pondering a problem all along.

That is, what exactly happened to Liu Village in the future?!

Even they had to look up to such a massive entity as The Master of Liu Village in the Immortal Emperor’s Realm, whose fame resounded throughout the Immortal Domain, known to everyone, yet there was not a trace of information related to it in the future – it all seemed very strange.

However, it’s a topic difficult to voice, so for now, he could only keep it to himself.

He couldn’t just ask Brother Jiang why there was no slightest information about you or Liu Village in the later world; it would be like indirectly cursing someone.

And even if he asked, what then?

How could they possibly know, an Immortal Emperor, the cost of traversing space and time is even heavier.

He was trying to come up with a reasonable explanation in his heart.

“In the later years, Emperor Huang Tian cut through the ages with a single sword, it’s true that some histories indeed need to become tranquil, but…”

Ye Fan murmured to himself.

He understood the strength of Emperor Huang Tian’s power, enough to change the course of history.

But how could Liu Village, a power with an Immortal Emperor, be easily concealed by Emperor Huang Tian?

Right at this moment, a breeze blew by, bringing a faint scent of flowers. Ye Fan snapped back to reality and noticed the flowers in the courtyard swaying gently in the wind, as if whispering something. An idea suddenly struck him.

“Perhaps, the disappearance of Liu Village is not because of Emperor Huang Tian’s concealment, but because they chose to retreat from the world themselves.” Ye Fan thought to himself, this idea giving him a sense of relief. As a powerful force, maybe at some point in history, Liu Village chose to withdraw from the disputes of the Immortal Domain and hide in a corner of the world.

Although this explanation seemed somewhat far-fetched, it could reasonably account for the disappearance of Liu Village. Ye Fan knew the forces in the Immortal Domain were intricate and complex, each with their own choices and destinies. The absence of Liu Village could simply be the result of their own decision.

However, Ye Fan couldn’t help feeling puzzled about why The Master of Liu Village would do such a thing and what the significance of doing so was.

The one who saved Huang from the hands of the Phantom Immortal Emperor wouldn’t be someone timid or cowardly.

But after pondering for a long time, Ye Fan still couldn’t figure it out.

He didn’t belong here, nor could he stay here for too long, so the information he had at hand was very limited.

With such limited information, trying to speculate on the fate of a being who is already in the Immortal Emperor’s Realm and possesses such a vast and supreme power…

Not to say it’s difficult, but it’s like daydreaming.

Not to mention The Master of Liu Village, they weren’t even sure when Emperor Huang Tian could join that battlefield and fight alongside them–
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have repeatedly come at the wrong time.

Fortunately, although they arrived at the wrong time, they still managed to help Huang resolve some troubles.

While it wasn’t apparent on the surface, Ye Fan could feel that those wrong moments might help Emperor Huang Tian achieve the Great Taoist path sooner and join them in battle more quickly.

Of course, these were all side issues; the urgent matter at hand was to explore whether Liu Village and The Master of Liu Village still existed in the future and what had happened to them, so that there was no information about them in later generations.

An Immortal Emperor, if they could stand united, would undoubtedly be an unprecedentedly powerful aid.
