Chapter 1089: Chapter 734: Luo Shanyou (Part 2)
Xiang Beifei calmly spoke as his spiritual power gently undulated. He withdrew the support of Yin and Yang’s primal force, using the method Elder Luo taught him.
Boom!
It was like a Calming Sea Divine Needle suddenly emerging from the waves, emitting a majestic heavenly might. In the face of Luo Shanyou’s overwhelming pressure, it did not retreat in the slightest, instantly overshadowing that mountainous momentum!
Buzz!
The gigantic waves Luo Shanyou raised were instantly suppressed, as if the sea surface had regained its calm. He suddenly fell from the crest of the wave, standing upon the water!
However, the water beneath his feet was like a mirror, incapable of stirring even a ripple.
"Impressive!"
Luo Shanyou exclaimed in a low voice. The spiritual power surging within him roiled once more, ready to seize back control of this illusion.
But just as he moved, the mirror-like surface beneath him suddenly shattered, a gigantic surge of waves appearing from the air, engulfing him at once.
By the time he realized it, he suddenly found himself submerged up to his throat, his entire body engulfed by the sea, with only his head exposed!
"How can this be?"
A look of shock and anger appeared on his face. He wanted to break free from the constraints of the tide, but Xiang Beifei’s waves carried a natural pressure, suppressing him. He couldn’t find any foothold, feeling like an ordinary person bereft of spiritual power, sinking and floating within the waves, always at risk of drowning!
"You..."
Luo Shanyou struggled within the water, experiencing the terrifying tide for the first time in his area of expertise, feeling suppressed and even facing a threat to his life!
The most important thing was, this illusion was created to test Xiang Beifei, yet he unwittingly was being counter-controlled by him, becoming a tool for suppression, as if this spiritual power no longer belonged to him!
Should the waves submerge his head, he would suffocate to death!
At their level of strength, dying in an illusion equated to the death of the soul!
"Senior, you should recognize this kind of spiritual power, right?" Xiang Beifei said.
"How is it possible for you to manifest his spiritual power to this degree?"
Luo Shanyou stared at Xiang Beifei in shock.
He could clearly feel Xiang Beifei’s powerful spiritual method, identical to Luo Yunxian’s, entirely like a magnified version of Luo Shanyou. It felt as though Luo Yunxian himself ascended to the Inquiry Dao Realm to directly compete with him.
And he lost!
This left Luo Shanyou extremely frustrated!
Because earlier he had looked down on Luo Yunxian’s spiritual power, yet didn’t anticipate losing to his disciple, leaving him quite embarrassed.
Xiang Beifei stood on the water, looking at the only head of Luo Shanyou, calmly saying, "Senior’s spiritual power is indeed extraordinary, but my master’s spiritual power is also very strong. I took the spiritual power I learned from him as the foundation, adapted it, and turned it into my own trait! This is called ’Better blue out of blue’!"
"Better blue out of blue?"
Luo Shanyou was momentarily stunned.
Xiang Beifei waved his hand, then his spiritual power slowly transferred out, changing form again, returning to its previous state. The seawater rippled, forming an image of Luo Shanyou.
"In my spiritual power world, I can completely reach the level of confusing truth with falsehood. If I wished, I could erase Senior’s spiritual power right now, then rely on my simulated spiritual power, taking control of Senior’s body. In other words — I can inject my spiritual power into Senior’s mind, turning Senior into a puppet!"
Xiang Beifei said intently.
"You—"
Luo Shanyou broke out in a cold sweat!
He realized he was too overconfident. If the other intended harm, he might die inexplicably now, then become a living corpse. Given his identity in the Human Race, inviting a wolf into the house would bring great disaster to the Human Race!
At this thought, Luo Shanyou felt chilled to the core!
"But I won’t do that, at least not to the Human Race."
Xiang Beifei smiled slightly.
Crash!
All the waves retreated in an instant, the entire illusion shattered, as if nothing had ever happened.
——
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Luo Shanyou couldn’t help but take several steps back, his face filled with shock.
"Elder Luo!"
Duan Guyan saw Xiang Beifei actually repel Luo Shanyou and his expression changed drastically. He hurriedly went to support Luo Shanyou, thinking Xiang Beifei was about to attack, and immediately shouted: "Close the formation, everyone on guard! Defend with all your might!"
"No need!"
Luo Shanyou forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, rubbed his forehead, his head still buzzing. The illusion just now seemed real to their spiritual power experts, life and death were in the opponent’s thoughts. He felt like he had retrieved a life.
"It was the younger generation’s reckless behavior, the elder was afraid of hurting me, gave way a step, but I couldn’t stop in time, I apologize." Xiang Beifei cupped his hands and said.
No matter what, this person might have a familial relationship with Elder Luo, though the relationship isn’t exactly smooth. But here it’s the domain of the Human Race, we can’t let him cause Duan Guyan and others to lose face, better to give a way out.
Luo Shanyou was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, then said: "Your spiritual power indeed exceeded my expectations. I take back what I just said, Luo Yunxian’s spiritual power indeed has some merit."
After saying this, he turned to Duan Guyan and others and said: "He is of our Human Race, from Jiuzhou of the Great Desolate Realm, his identity can be confirmed."
Only then did Duan Guyan and the others breathe a sigh of relief. Since Elder Luo confirmed it, they didn’t need to worry about him being from the Dao Palace.
Recalling Xiang Beifei’s spiritual power just moments ago, the more Luo Shanyou thought about it, the more astonished he became. He was very thankful that the person in front of him was a friend rather than an enemy.
After a while, Luo Shanyou suddenly furrowed his brow and said: "You are Luo Yunxian’s disciple, but your cultivation is at the Inquiry Dao Realm? How old are you this year?"
"Junior is twenty-five years old this year." Xiang Beifei said.
"Twenty-five years old!"
Both Luo Shanyou and Duan Guyan showed expressions of surprise in their eyes!
"Twenty-five years old at the Inquiry Dao Realm? You’re not lying?" Luo Shanyou frowned, looking at Xiang Beifei.
"My master taught me well." Xiang Beifei said.
"Twenty-five years old at the Inquiry Dao Realm, such terrifying talent, cultivated by Luo Yunxian? Luo Yunxian! That guy... wait, what did you just say your name was?"
Luo Shanyou suddenly realized something. When Xiang Beifei reported his name earlier, he didn’t think much, but now he realized.
"Xiang Beifei, Beifei that means flying north."
Luo Shanyou’s expression showed slight fluctuation, but he still controlled himself and said in a deep voice: "Xiang Beifei! I heard the Human King mention a grandson... Xiang... May I ask, what is your relationship with Xiang Qingde?"
"Xiang Qingde is my grandfather."
"Then Xiang Tianxing is..."
"He can be whoever he wants to be."
Luo Shanyou: "..."
Despite being snubbed by Xiang Beifei, he still spoke up: "Xiang Tianxing is your father?"
"Oh, is it? I guess he must be a very responsible father?" Xiang Beifei sarcastically said, indifferent.
Luo Shanyou: "..."
He had lived quite a few years, how could he not hear the meaning in Xiang Beifei’s words?
Xiang Beifei seemed to have a great grievance against Xiang Tianxing. Mentioning Xiang Qingde, his tone was full of respect, but when it came to Xiang Tianxing, his tone was sarcastic, like a rebellious child.
But this indirectly admitted his relationship with Xiang Tianxing.
Luo Shanyou looked up and down at Xiang Beifei once more, increasingly astonished, muttering: "Unexpected, truly unexpected! Twenty-five years old at the Inquiry Dao Realm, no wonder you are so formidable, I should have realized sooner!"
Actually, Xiang Beifei was somewhat surprised, Luo Shanyou actually recognized his grandfather.
On second thought, it seemed quite normal.
If more than thirty years ago the Dao Palace issued a manhunt for the Human Race, Luo Shanyou probably arrived here long ago. Qingde Daoist at that time was no simple figure, maybe it was Qingde Daoist leading the Human Race to do something.
Luo Shanyou forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and said: "Can you take out some proof of identity?"
"Proof of identity?"
Xiang Beifei thought for a moment, he knew what could best serve as proof. Immediately he raised his hand, a flash of light appeared, and a broken sword appeared in his hand: "I don’t know if you’ve seen it, this is my grandfather’s..."
"Wufeng!"
Luo Shanyou recognized the sword at a glance!
He finally couldn’t keep his composure!
"This is the Calming Sea Divine Needle of the Human King!" Luo Shanyou muttered.
"Human King? My grandfather was also a Human King?" Xiang Beifei asked.
Luo Shanyou’s eyes seemed to waver, as if he remembered something, he said: "Come with me first."
