Chapter 120: Feathered Longevity Separates!

  "What? You say you're Hou Yi? How is that possible? Are you kidding me?"

  Shangguan Yu looked at Hou Yi in surprise, momentarily forgetting about Qin Shou. Hou Yi was a figure from myth and legend. According to the myths, a long, long time ago, there were ten suns in the sky, and then Hou Yi shot down nine of them. It was precisely because of Hou Yi that humanity was saved, allowing people to continue living on.

  Previously, Jiao Xiaolong said that Hou Yi shot and killed the nine golden crows. As for what Jiao Xiaolong said, Shangguan Yu was somewhat puzzled. However, in mythological legends, Hou Yi's image is much clearer, and Shangguan Yu did not expect to see him with his own eyes.

  Although he knew that the person in front of him was not Hou Yi from myth and legend, it still made Shangguan Yu feel unbelievable. What connection did the Tianxuan Continent have with Earth? How could figures from myths on Earth appear alive and well on the Tianxuan Continent?

  "Hmm... did you really hear about me? But why are you so surprised? Even if you had heard of me, even if I was the greatest archer of ancient times, you didn't have to be this surprised, right?" Hou Yi asked in puzzlement.

  However, Shangguan Yu did not answer Hou Yi's question. He continued to ask, "Since you are Hou Yi? Do you know Chang'e? Are Chang'e and you husband and wife? It is said that Chang'e is the number one beauty in the world, is she really your wife?"

  Hou Yi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "You're worried about this? How can you not be like his descendant at all, yet you know to ask these things at such a young age? If he finds out, I'm afraid your heart will be crushed."

  "His descendant? Who is he?" asked Shangguan Yu hastily.

  However, Hou Yi did not tell him that. Instead, he answered the previous question of Shangguan Yu. "Chang'e is indeed my wife and she is indeed the number one beauty in the world. However, being the number one beauty in the world does not mean she is truly the number one beauty."

  Hou Yi's last words left Shangguan Yu bewildered. However, he didn't dwell on the issue, and the shock of Hou Yi's appearance had also subsided. "Right, what's going on with my companion now?"

  "He's fine, he's just receiving my inheritance. However, my inheritance is too powerful and there isn't enough time for him to accept it. If you're in a hurry, then don't wait for him. Of course, if you have nothing better to do, waiting for him is also an option." Hou Yi said with a smile.

  Shangguan Yu looked at Qin Shou floating in the air, and he was also genuinely happy for Qin Shou. Being able to accept Hou Yi's legacy was indeed a great opportunity. Although he didn't know the specifics of Hou Yi's realm, being able to become the number one divine archer of ancient times naturally meant that he was an extremely powerful existence.

  She cast her gaze at Hou Yi again, and Shangguan Yu wanted to know who the "he" in Hou Yi's mouth was. But it was clear that Hou Yi didn't want to say anything, and even if he died of entreaty, there would be no use.

  "Huh…… Little Jiaolong is also here? Your ancestors lost a bet with me, so they've been waiting for my successor. According to the bet, when my successor appears, one of your clan will become their guardian beast. You haven't forgotten, have you?" Hou Yi said to Jiao Xiaolong.

  Shangguan Yu suddenly turned his head, and the python was actually Qin Shou's guardian beast. This is different from what that python said, it seems they were deceived by that python. That python had such great power, yet still deceived them.

  Jiao Xiaolong heard Hou Yi's words and suddenly became anxious. With great difficulty, he had just made Shangguan Yu believe him, and he didn't want to be seen through now. Jiao Xiaolong's urgent eyes were understood by Hou Yi.

  "Little Jiaolong, speak up, say whatever you want to say. Our conversation now is inaudible to outsiders. Don't worry, just tell me whatever it is." Hou Yi's voice directly echoed in Jiao Long's mind.

  "I implore Lord Hou Yi to do me justice, I have always been loyal and dedicated to serving Lord Hou Yi. However, unexpectedly, the person next to me deliberately provoked me. Unable to bear it any longer, I harbored murderous intentions towards him. But before I could do anything to him, his father appeared out of nowhere. His father didn't care about right or wrong, and directly knocked me down from Tianji Realm to Jiangyi Realm."

  Jiaolong knew that the person in front of him was Hou Yi, and with Hou Yi as his backing, he naturally didn't need to fear Emperor Ti's father. Stronger than Hou Yi, probably only the legendary Emperor Ji's strongmen. Since ancient times, no great emperor has appeared. Moreover, how could Yu have a father who is an Emperor Ji?

  So, the dragon told everything that had happened before in great detail. Only in his mouth, he himself became a good dragon, and Shangguan Yu naturally became that kind of evil young man. Shangguan Yu relied on having a powerful father to do whatever he wanted, but Shangguan Yu's father only knew how to protect his own son.

  Listening to Jiaolong's words, Hou Yi just smiled. If it were someone else, Hou Yi might have believed Jiaolong. But Shangguan Yu was the descendant of that person, and naturally, Shangguan Yu was also the descendant of that person. How could the descendant of that person do such a thing as Jiaolong said?

  Before Hou Yi could speak, Jiao Xiaolong continued, "I beg of you, Lord Hou Yi, to help me recover my cultivation. I'm not doing it for myself, but with my current realm, I fundamentally can't protect your successor."

  Hou Yi looked at the Jiaolong and thought to himself, "This Jiaolong is indeed just like its ancestors. I was worried that it would be unfavorable to my successor, but now it seems that I was worrying for nothing. You're really useless, utterly useless."

  However, Hou Yi's mouth said, "I have no way, what you see in front of you is just a wisp of my residual soul. You also know how far the ancient times are from now, and I don't have the ability to restore you to your original martial arts realm after barely surviving until now."

  Upon hearing Hou Yi's words, the Jiaolong suddenly became dispirited. He had originally thought that Hou Yi could help him, but he didn't expect it to turn out like this. However, he also didn't dare to forcefully take Hou Yi's bow, as he wasn't a fool and wouldn't really think that Hou Yi was completely out of energy.

  "In that case, I won't bother Lord Hou Yi anymore. I just hope you don't tell this Shangguan Yu about my identity, or else I'll definitely end up in a terrible situation." The Jiaolong begged.

  Hou Yi naturally agreed on this point. Hou Yi communicated directly with Jiao Xiaolong's mind, and such communication was incredibly swift. They had been communicating for a very long time, but in the outside world, it was just a blink of an eye.

  Shangguan Yu gave Jiao Xiaolong a strange look, he always felt that there was something wrong with Jiao Xiaolong. He couldn't quite put his finger on what the problem was, but he firmly believed in his intuition. In short, from now on, he would definitely be on guard against Jiao Xiaolong.

  "Senior, I don't know how long Qin Shou will take to accept the inheritance?" asked Shangguan Yu.

  Hou Yi waved his hand and replied, "Don't worry, Qin Shou's innate talent is indeed not bad. He has only just received the inheritance for a short time, if you don't have any urgent matters, you can wait here."

  "I, along with Qin Shou, still have a task at hand. This task is neither urgent nor non-urgent. So I'd like to ask Senior, how long does it take for him to accept the inheritance? Can he give me a specific time?" asked Shangguan Yu.

  "The specific time is hard to say, but it's no harm to tell you the approximate time. Qin Shou, this kid, has indeed accepted the inheritance very quickly, and it seems that he is really suitable for my inheritance. Within two years at most, or five years at least, he will definitely be able to fully accept my inheritance." Hou Yi said with a smile, his eyes revealing a hint of satisfaction.

  Shangguan Yu almost fell to the ground, at least two years, and this time is still not long? "Senior, are you mistaken? Shortest is two years, longest is five years, can this time also be called not long?"

  "Hehe, I forgot, you're still young, and your concept of time is indeed different from mine. For me, ten years isn't a long time. Looking at you, I estimate that you can't wait for even a few years." Hou Yi also became embarrassed, but this embarrassment was well hidden by him.

  "En, we still have a task. Since Qin Shou can't leave, let him focus on receiving the inheritance here. I'll go complete the task alone, and after he finishes the inheritance ceremony, just let him return to Zhen Wu Men directly."

  Shangguan Yu looked at Qin Shou who was floating in the air and said this. He and Qin Shou were brothers who grew up together since childhood, now it's a bit reluctant to part ways. But for Qin Shou's own good, he could only leave first.

  Hou Yi saw all of Shangguan Yu's emotions, he didn't expect that Shangguan Yu and Qin Shou's relationship was so good. This feeling not only had friendship but also kinship, this is the feeling between brothers.

  "It's really interesting, my successor has become brothers with his descendants. I'm looking forward to seeing the future scenes, unfortunately, there's no chance now, when the inheritance ends, this wisp of residual soul will also disappear in the world." Hou Yi murmured.

  "Senior, what are you talking about?" Shangguan Yu looked at Hou Yi and asked loudly.

  "Nothing, since that's the case, you can go on your own. As a senior who has called me for so long, I should also give you a gift to see you off. It's just a pity that after all these years, many things have already disappeared. In that case, this Tianyuan Pearl will be given to you, hoping it will help with your cultivation. Your realm is still too low, and you can't use the really good stuff yet."

  Just after Hou Yi finished speaking, a white yuan pearl appeared in Shang Guan Yu's hand. The previous head of the Shang Guan sect had given him an earthly yuan pearl, but unexpectedly this time he got a heavenly yuan pearl, it seems his luck isn't bad. He could clearly feel that the heavenly yuan pearl was better than the earthly one, which could be told from its name alone.

  "It's troublesome for you to go up from here, I'll just send you out directly."

  Before Shangguan Yu could react, he felt his body flying up. He knew this was definitely Hou Yi's doing, and that he was being sent away.

  "Qin Shou, looking forward to our next meeting, goodbye!"
