Chapter 1243: Chapter 1242: I Killed Suiyue

(Daoist friends who haven’t seen the sick leave note, I recommend you check out yesterday’s note.)

"Kirin, long time no see!"

Fairy Eternity floated out from Lu Yang’s body and greeted him with a beaming smile.

Old friends had been apart for four hundred thousand years, and now that they were finally revived, Kirin Immortal was also very happy.

However, when he clearly saw Fairy Eternity’s state, his expression became puzzled, "Eternity, why is only your soul left?"

This wasn’t the situation he had anticipated.

He had thought that like himself, Eternity was hiding in some small world, carried around by Lu Yang.

Fairy Eternity happened to cough twice, her face looking exceptionally pale. She feigned that nothing was wrong, not wanting to worry her old friend, "It’s nothing serious, just got a bit injured in a previous battle, and it’s somewhat hard to recover."

"Are you okay, Fairy?" Lu Yang quickly showed his concern for Fairy Eternity.

Fairy Eternity waved her hand, "It’s nothing, just feeling a bit weak. I’ll just need to rest more later."

"Staying here with you all the time isn’t quite right; I should recover my strength as soon as possible."

"No, no, no, Fairy, you can stay in my Spiritual Space as long as you want."

The sight startled Kirin Immortal, was this something Eternity would say?

Mid-heaven Emperor Lord looked at Fairy Eternity with uncertainty, his thoughts spinning. Kirin Immortal addressed her as Eternity?

He carefully recalled all matters regarding immortals since ancient times; there had never been any female cultivator who became an immortal and was named "Eternity."

Who is she? An immortal from the Ancient Times?

And that Yun Zhi, also a Female Immortal, but he had never heard of Yun Zhi before.

Mid-heaven Emperor Lord suspected that during the hundred thousand years he was sealed in the Great Yu Dynasty, Yun Zhi had become an immortal, which is why he knew nothing about Yun Zhi.

That so-called title of Eldest Senior Sister of the Seek Dao Sect must undoubtedly have been a fabricated identity to conceal her real identity.

"Kirin, why did you only appear now? Little Ling Lianyi and the others have been looking for you for a long time without success." Fairy Eternity spoke up for Little Ling Lianyi and Little Tiger, the three of them had been searching all over the world for Kirin Immortal, reducing the time they could spend playing together as Kirin Immortal kept himself hidden.

Lu Yang was also puzzled; if Kirin Immortal was worried about being chased after by Ashy Bean, then Immortal Ying Tian’s appearance during his Void Refinement Stage Pass Tribulation was itself a signal, informing those in the know that Ashy Bean was no longer a threat.

It was straightforward to explain Immortal Jiuchong since the Extreme Northern Lands were extremely isolated in terms of news, but Kirin Immortal didn’t have this problem.

Kirin Immortal was hidden within the Great Qian Force, which was vigorously searching for the clues of the Four Ancient Immortals, aware that Immortal Ying Tian had appeared.

"Indeed, I know about Lianyi and Little Ling waking up, I know they were looking for me, I know that Immortal Ying Tian’s appearance means the downfall of Silent Extermination Immortal, and I could even guess about your revival."

Lu Yang couldn’t help but ask, "Then why exactly ..."

Kirin Immortal had a conflicted expression, his face changing again and again, until he finally closed his eyes in agony and let out a long, heavenly sigh, "If it weren’t for this matter involving the Reincarnation Dao Fruit Prototype, I probably would never appear before you all in my lifetime. I... I’m a bastard, I don’t have the face to see you all."

"Ah? Why?"

"You must have seen Sui Yue’s Corpse at the Five Elements Sect and learned about Sui Yue being assassinated at the end of the Fire Dynasty."

"It was I who killed Sui Yue."

"It was you?!"

Lu Yang and Fairy Eternity were greatly shocked. According to the Time Immortal, the four of them were connected by an Array Method, and the mastermind behind the scenes couldn’t directly harm him; it must have been that the mastermind possessed one of them to assassinate him.

Was Kirin Immortal possessed by the mastermind?

That reaction didn’t seem right.

Qilin Immortal lowered his head guiltily, not daring to face Fairy Eternity or see her reaction, "At that time, the mastermind behind the scenes threatened me with the lives of Little Ling and Lianyi, saying that if I didn’t kill Suiyue, he would kill Little Ling and Lianyi."

Qilin Immortal showed a pained expression, but with his head lowered, no one could see his face.

"I had no other choice but to kill Suiyue."

Although Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi were in a state of Playing Dead Technique at the time, the mastermind could even wipe out immortals; his methods were unimaginable. If he were to take action, his two wives would certainly not survive.

After killing Time Immortal, Qilin Immortal regretted it and knelt on the ground, breaking down in tears; what had he done, whom had he lived up to, and whom could he face?

Mid-heaven Emperor Lord, standing nearby, was completely confused. Although it wasn’t the appropriate atmosphere to ask questions, he couldn’t hold back.

"Fire Dynasty, what’s that? I’ve never heard of this power before."

Does this mean the Great Qian Dynasty I worked so hard to establish wasn’t the first dynasty?

I have been proud of this for three hundred thousand years.

Was my pride misplaced?

"Time Immortal has perished? Then who has been engaging in Time Retrospection?"

Qilin Immortal sighed again, "Although I feel somewhat sorry for Suiyue, as the most prominent among the Four Ancient Immortals, I am confident in my strength. Once I make a move, Suiyue is assuredly not going to survive."

"The frequent time retrospections must be someone acquiring the Time Dao Fruit and researching it continually through time retrospection."

Lu Yang, "..."

It seems I’ve discovered that you, the Four Ancient Immortals, all claim to be the foremost among yourselves.

"But Suiyue is still alive, right? The time retrospection is his doing." Fairy Eternity said.

"What! He’s still alive?"

Qilin Immortal suddenly lifted his head, even losing control of his human form, his head directly transforming back into that of a Qilin, giving Lu Yang quite a fright.

At that moment, Lu Yang noticed that Qilin Immortal’s eyes were slightly moist.

"Yes, he abandoned his body at that time, his soul escaped to the west to establish Buddha Country, using the Power of Faith to create an immortal body for himself."

"Suiyue is still alive, Suiyue is still alive! He’s still alive!"

Qilin Immortal excitedly grabbed Lu Yang’s shoulders, "Is Suiyue really still alive?"

The grip was so painful that Lu Yang felt his bones might shatter; he could only nod in response to Qilin Immortal.

Excited beyond measure, Qilin Immortal had lived for three hundred thousand years in guilt and self-recrimination, moving through life dazed, like a zombie, and had even contemplated ending his own life several times.

"I knew it, I knew he was still alive!"

In his excitement, Qilin Immortal disregarded his form, reverting to his original shape and bouncing around in the sky, knocking the Mid-heaven Emperor Lord around with his Qilin horns.

"That old block of wood really isn’t that easy to kill!"

After celebrating for a while, Qilin Immortal realized his own impropriety and quickly reverted to his original form pretending nothing had happened.

"Ahem, I got a bit carried away there."

Unable to stop grinning and overwhelmed with excitement, Qilin Immortal couldn’t help but ask again, "He’s really still alive, right?"

Lu Yang nodded.

"Where was I just now?"

Lu Yang hesitated. They had just reached the part about killing Time Immortal, but seeing Qilin Immortal’s reaction, it seemed best not to continue on that note.

Changing the subject, Lu Yang asked, "When you first saw me, you called me the destined one of the Immortal; you didn’t seem surprised by my appearance?"
