Chapter 1718: A Shocking Turn of Events

After Taiyi Zhenren had revived Ming Long, his attention turned to Wu Yu. He was determined to get Wu Yu’s Ruyi Jingu Bang.

This expert immortal emperor from the sky palaces had a hobby of collecting epochal immortal treasures. This was why he was so interested in Wu Yu’s epochal immortal treasure.

"Elder, may I know the price for buying back my epochal immortal treasure?"

Wu Yu grabbed his Ruyi Jingu Bang tightly and asked wistfully.

If there was a way for him to get his Ruyi Jingu Bang back, Wu Yu would definitely work hard for it. No matter what, he would not leave the Ruyi Jingu Bang in Taiyi Zhenren’s hands for too long.

But Taiyi Zhenren shook his head and said: "My hobby is to collect all sorts of treasures. Since this treasure is now part of my collection, there is no way you can get it back."

Wu Yu was filled with regret upon hearing this statement.

He could only reluctantly turn the Ruyi Jingu Bang over to Taiyi Zhenren. Wu Yu’s heart was filled with indescribable emotions as he watched his top-quality epochal immortal treasure being kept away by Taiyi Zhenren.

Even the freshly revived Ming Long felt sad to see the Ruyi Jingu Bang leaving Wu Yu.

After all, she had stayed in the Ruyi Jingu Bang for so long. Without this epochal immortal treasure, her soul would have perished and she would disappear entirely from this world. There would be no chance for her to be revived.

Her eyes reddened and tears threatened to fall. Ming Long held back her tears silently.

Wu Yu made so much effort in order to revive her. This was the promise that he had made at the start. Even though she had long let go of the desire to be revived. To her, it was satisfying enough to be able to watch over Wu Yu’s growth.

However, Wu Yu still handed over the Ruyi Jingu Bang in exchange for her revival.

"Sigh, we should leave."

Patriarch Bodhi seemed reluctant too. He knew very well how important this epochal immortal treasure was to Wu Yu.

Just taking the Immortal Emperor Trials as an example, it was with the Ruyi Jingu Bang that Wu Yu had managed to defeat so many challenging opponents.

It was a pity that he could only hand the Ruyi Jingu Bang to Taiyi Zhenren now and never get it back.

On the bright side, Ming Long was revived successfully. This was great news to Wu Yu. Patriarch Bodhi also did not stay for too long and brought them back to Mettle Sky.

......

Ming Long remained silent all the way.

Her Saintly Lotus Frame was an otherworldly beauty and when she remained downcast and quiet, she looked even more pitiful.

"Don’t dwell on it too much. At least you are revived now and this is a huge accomplishment for me. Let’s go and meet Luo Pin and the others."

Wu Yu grinned at her and patted her on the shoulder.

"Hey, do you think Luo Pin will hate me?"

Ming Long had never been one to be shy but after her revival, she seemed to become bashful and not used to her new identity. After all, anyone who had been dead for many years before being revived would require time to adjust to a new life.

She was worried that Luo Pin would detest her. After all, Wu Yu had handed over his most important epochal immortal treasure, the Ruyi Jingu Bang, in order for her to be revived.

"That’s impossible."

Wu Yu shook his head. He knew that Luo Pin was not a petty person and Luo Pin knew how much Ming Long had meant to him.

Soon, they separated from Patriarch Bodhi and returned to their palace in the Cave of the Slanting Moon and Three Stars.

Ming Long was also quite familiar with this place. After all, while she had not been active, she had observed the outside world whilst in slumber. She knew that Wu Yu and his friends were now staying at this immortal residence.

"Big brother Wu, you are back!"

Ye Xixi walked over at that moment and was plesantly surprised at Wu Yu’s return. She could not hold back a squeal when she saw Ming Long who was beside Wu Yu: "Is this big sister Ming Long? You are really pretty!"

"En."

Ming Long nodded her head awkwardly.

Ming Long was a rowdy soul when she resided in the Ruyi Jingu Bang. Now that she was revived, she became timid.

At this time, Full Moon of Nanshan came out of the palace and saw Wu Yu. He was a little nervous and asked: "How is it, is it done?"

Almost at the same time, Luo Pin, who felt something happening outside, came out of another room in the palace. Originally, she was still training in seclusion, but this was more important, so she came out to have a look.

"Let me do the introductions. This is Ming Long, she will cultivate and train with us from now on."

Wu Yu introduced her simply and did not say more. Anyway, his friends were familiar with her. They all know about her existence, although she had existed as a soul previously and they could not see her.

"Wow!"

Full Moon of Nanshan took one look at the woman in black in front of him and could not bear to move his eyes away: "Miss Ming Long, I’m Full Moon of Nanshan. Hello. May I have the chance to invite you to dinner?"

𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

His flirtatious character was in action again, and it was obvious that he was attracted by Ming Long.

It was a pity that the moment Full Moon of Nanshan acted so salaciously, Ming Long instantly rediscovered her ferocious side. She immediately snorted and scolded him: "Full Moon of Nanshan, how dare you lust after me? If you stare at me, your great aunt, be careful that I will dig out your eyes!"

"Wow, do you have to be so cruel?"

Full Moon of Nanshan suddenly called out exaggeratedly: "Why can Old Wu stare at you but not me?"

"Who made you look so wretched?"

Even Ye Xixi could not stand Full Moon of Nanshan hitting on Ming Long and began to scold Full Moon of Nanshan together with Ming Long.

Now Full Moon of Nanshan was really sad and cried: "Oh god, I finally have a sexy beauty around me. And she’s my type but she turned out to be a shrew. I’m doomed."

This time, Ming Long raged at him: "You pig, how dare you say that your great aunt is a shrew? I think you’ve not been beaten before!"

She rolled up her sleeve and started to move towards Nanshan. Full Moon of Nanshan quickly scurried faraway. He did not dare to retaliate against Ming Long.

At this moment, the palace was filled with a joyous atmosphere.

Actually, Full Moon of Nanshan was just livening up the atmosphere. He had known for a long time that Ming Long was a tough girl and he had no interest in this kind of girls. He liked those artistic beauties who would enjoy beautiful sceneries with him.

Unfortunately, he had not met such a beauty for a long time. He had met many beautiful immortals outside and was able to satisfy his desire for artistic expression. If not for this major event of Ming Long’s resurrection, he would not be willing to return.

Watching them joking around, Wu Yu felt at ease. He would never regret handing over the Ruyi Jingu Bang for Ming Long’s revival.

But it was at this moment that everyone’s expression changed as they all turned to look at Ming Long.

This black haired black eyed beauty had suddenly transformed before them. Her lively dark eyes turned into a blood red color and her black hair turned white!

With the change in appearance, Ming Long seemed to become more seductive and cold. This look seemed familiar to Wu Yu.

This familiar feeling came from the depths of Wu Yu’s memories. In fact, if not for this transformation, Wu Yu would have forgotten all about it.

While she looked mostly the same, Wu Yu and his friends could all tell with one look that this was a different person.

"Ha ha ha ha... ... I actually waited until this day. Wu Yu, aren’t you surprised?"

After Ming Long had turned into a white haired red eyed woman, her eyes stared at Wu Yu in jest.

"Qin Fuyao!"

Wu Yu gritted his teeth and said.

He finally recalled that this woman was Yu Fuyao of the Heavenly Seas from the Jambu Realm! This woman was the daughter of a ghostly cultivator and had infiltrated the Yan Huang Imperial City. In the end, she almost succeeded in reviving the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord.

In fact, the Qin Fuyao now, or Yu Fuyao of the Heavenly Seas, was the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord himself. She carried the will of the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord and was unexpectedly revived together with Ming Long.

When Wu Yu was at the Jambu Realm, Dong Sheng Divine Continent, the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord was almost reborn and took over Wu Yu’s body. Ultimately, it was the Ruyi Jingu Bang that forcibly suppressed the Heaven Devouring Evil Lord. It was from that time on that Yu Fuyao of the Heavenly Seas’s soul was suppressed inside the Ruyi Jingu Bang.

At first, her soul would resurface from time to time and threaten Wu Yu.

However, as time passed, Yu Fuyao of the Heavenly Seas no longer surfaced and Wu Yu eventually forgot about her. He did not expect for her to stick to Ming Long’s soul and when Taiyi Zhenren revived Ming Long, Yu Fuyao of the Heavenly Seas was also revived together.

Now it seemed like both Ming Long and Yu Fuyao of the Heavenly Seas were sharing this Saintly Lotus Frame. They shared an immortal spirit, the same body but had different consciousness. This was similar to Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord and Nangong Wei’s situation.

However, Wu Yu at this point could not tell who was the primary soul and had overall command of the body.

When Wu Yu uttered the name Qin Fuyao, Luo Pin, Full Moon of Nanshan, and Ye Xixi were all shocked too. They too had not expected for such a sudden turn of events.

Ming Long’s revival was supposed to be something worth celebrating over.

But right now, this seemed to have turned into something troublesome.

Wu Yu had used the Ruyi Jingu Bang in return for Ming Long’s revival. However, after her revival, she actually turned into a Heaven Devouring Evil Lord, Yu Fuyao of the Heavenly Seas... ...

"Wu Yu, aren’t you shocked? Ha ha ha ha!"

That white haired red eyed Yu Fuyao of the Heavenly Seas screeched threateningly: "I know everything about you. I’ve watched how you grow. Nothing escapes me! One day, I shall snatch back what was to be mine, including your Heaven Devouring Avatar!"

Wu Yu and his group became very nervous and wanted to take Yu Fuyao down first.

However, Yu Fuyao unexpectedly turned into black smoke and disappeared right under their noses, leaving behind only an echo of sinister laughter.

Wu Yu’s heart fell to the bottom at this sudden turn of events.

Who would have expect for this to happen.

Right now, not only Wu Yu was in a dangerous position. Ming Long’s safety was also compromised. Wu Yu was worried that Ming Long would be suppressed by Yu Fuyao of the Heavenly Seas and disappear totally.
