Chapter 293 Young Man on a White Horse Drunk in the Spring Breeze 68
Tianqi City, the Thirty-Two Pavilions of the Imperial Music Bureau, the Immortal's Guiding Platform.
One moment Xiao Ruojin was at the Imperial Observatory, and the next she was at the highest point in Tianqi City.
The moment he appeared, it seemed to shake the entire city of Tianqi. All was silent, even the wind stopped blowing. But just a moment later, everything returned to its usual hustle and bustle.
He was standing in such a conspicuous position, but the people coming and going below seemed not to see him at all, continuing with their own lives.
Occasionally, someone would look up at the sky and glance at his figure, but they would subconsciously think it was just a passing cloud or a passing breeze, and then forget about it completely.
Xiao Ruojin stood on the high platform, closed her eyes and concentrated, slowly opening her arms as if to embrace the vast world and the endless sky.
Seemingly sensing a summons, the power of heaven and earth poured forth, and he drove it to spread outwards continuously, like a flood passing through every inch of land and bypassing every person.
Xiao Ruojin now seems determined to find that person no matter what.
Fortunately, he has now entered a state of spiritual travel, and can freely draw upon the power of heaven and earth. Otherwise, with such a large-scale search, he would have already exhausted his inner strength and died before finding the person.
However, as time passed, the search remained fruitless.
Xiao Ruojin took a deep breath, and a crimson dot appeared between her brows. Her mental power burst forth from the crimson dot, spreading far and wide with the aid of her internal energy.
He searched until he reached a market town a thousand miles away, where a figure caught his attention.
"wrong!"
Xiao Ruojin suddenly shouted, her entire attention focused on a figure.
The figure weaved through the crowd, hurrying along, rushing about as if out of place in this world. Those around him ignored his unusual behavior, as if he were merely a phantom, not existing in reality, letting him leave the city in the blink of an eye.
"Why is it that only telekinesis can notice this person?"
"Did he use Taoist magic?"
"No! This is not Taoist magic."
"He doesn't use the power of this world."
Xiao Ruojin suddenly opened her eyes, her gaze flashing with a sharp light. At the same time, it was as if lightning struck her mind and thunder roared, and a strong premonition surged into her heart.
"If it's not the power of this world, could it be that he also transmigrated here like me?" Xiao Ruojin couldn't hide his excitement. Before he finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared from Tianqi City and appeared in a lush mulberry forest a thousand miles away in an instant.
In this tranquil mulberry grove stood a Taoist priest with disheveled hair and slightly worn clothes.
He was dressed in a dark blue Taoist robe, which was covered with all sorts of odds and ends, making him look rather unruly and slovenly.
However, when his gaze fell on Xiao Ruojin who had suddenly appeared, he did not show the slightest surprise. Instead, he looked Xiao Ruojin up and down with a scrutinizing and playful look, and said with a hint of amusement in his tone: "Indeed, you are the variable of this world."
Xiao Ruojin's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes narrowed slightly, as if trying to see through the other person's heart: "Did you deliberately set a trap to lure me here?"
The man chuckled softly, a hint of mockery and coldness in his smile: "That's right, if I didn't lure you out, how could I take your life with my own hands?"
"You want to kill me? Why?" Xiao Ruojin asked, slightly puzzled.
"Because you have arbitrarily altered the destiny of this world." The man's eyes gleamed with an unusual light, as if he were stating an undeniable fact.
"I changed fate?"
"Yes, you not only changed destiny, but also the fate of countless people. You forcibly left the fortune that should have flowed to the heavens in the mortal realm. Do you think you deserve to die?" The man looked at Xiao Ruojin with a cold expression, his aura constantly rising.
The man's face grew increasingly cold, and his aura surged like a storm, as if it were about to erupt at any moment.
"So it came down from the sky."
Xiao Ruojin chuckled, but her heart sank.
The immortals in this world are not immortals.
They are a group of thieves who specialize in stealing the fortune of humankind.
From the moment Xiao Ruojin broke through to the Divine Travel Realm, countless secrets of this world opened their doors to him.
Beyond the four realms, in the heavens beyond the heavens, there exist extraterrestrial immortals who constantly seek to invade the mortal world.
To prevent these immortals from intruding, powerful figures guard the four borders—east, west, south, and north—to protect the peace of the mortal realm. Like Li Changsheng before him, the place he was heading to was Kunlun in the north.
Now that an immortal has descended upon the world, does this mean that the four realms have fallen?
Xiao Ruofeng felt a heavy weight in his heart, but his face remained impassive as he began to unleash his attacks without any hesitation:
"What 'fortune that should have flowed to the heavens'? That's utter nonsense! That fortune belongs to the human world, the blessing of countless living beings. Why should it be plundered by you and taken to the heavens?"
"If I remember correctly, back then, Su Xinghe, alone with his sword, broke through the clouds and soared into the heavens, striking fear into the hearts of the celestial beings, who dared not linger in the mortal realm. How many years have passed? Have you all forgotten everything? You actually dare to come down here!"
The man seemed to have been hit where it hurt; his expression changed drastically, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips, his tone filled with disdain and mockery: "You speak so passionately, what? You really think you're someone of this world?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruojin's eyes lit up instantly, shining like the stars in the sky, sparkling with a light of surprise and excitement.
Within that light, one could vaguely see countless long-suppressed emotions surging forth, like deep-sea currents finally finding an outlet, eager to rush to the surface.
Finally, these complex emotions intertwined, and a smile slowly bloomed on his face:
Do you know why I came here?
Then he repeated the sentence:
"You know why I came here!"
Xiao Ruojin's excitement was hard to conceal; her tone unconsciously rose a few decibels, and every word sounded like a leaping musical note.
“You…” The man tried to speak, but the words caught in his throat.
He hadn't expected Xiao Ruojin to react this way. Instead of feeling ashamed and angry about her secret being exposed, she seemed to want to cheer and jump for joy, which was completely different from what he had imagined.
Originally, the intention was to use this incident to strike at Xiao Ruojin, to make him feel uneasy or fearful, and thus gain a psychological advantage. Unexpectedly, it only made him excited instead.
This sudden change caught him off guard, and the exciting words he had prepared now seemed somewhat inappropriate.
