510: Chapter 510 Desert Hotel

Amidst the massive sandstorm, two figures wearing brown cloaks, bundled up tightly, were pushing forward against the wind.

They were Zhou Yan and Lv Yang, who had arrived in the Eastern Territory early.

Originally, Zhou Yan had intended to return to Taiyi City first, but news came back from Lord Canglan that a Body Integration Stage Cultivator was about to arrive.

Faced with such a sudden arrival, there was naturally no more time to prepare, so Zhou Yan directly contacted Qian Santong and diverted their path to a stronghold of Lianxing Pavilion, intending to enter the Desire Realm from there.

He just hadn't expected to encounter a sandstorm before they even arrived; Zhou Yan had to slow his pace and use his magic power to shield Lv Yang as they moved forward.

If it weren't for the fact that this kid knew too much, Zhou Yan really wouldn't have intended to bring him along.

At this moment, Lv Yang, who was inside Zhou Yan's magic shield, had managed to lower his guard after their interactions over this period.

In his impression, Zhou Yan had also changed from an unreasonable thug into an ape that could understand human language.

Although there was still significant risk, it probably wouldn't be life-threatening anymore.

Therefore, he naturally became a bit bolder and attempted to ask his first question.

"Where did you hear the name 'Lv Yue'?"

Hearing Lv Yang's question, Zhou Yan rarely smiled, although it wasn't clearly visible beneath his mask.

For the past two days, the two of them had basically been chatting about random things; sometimes, when they were in a rush to travel, they couldn't even get two sentences in.

Now they were finally discussing a serious topic, although the location wasn't very suitable.

"Didn't I tell you before? It's recorded in the library."

Lv Yang thought for a while and then sighed.

"If you don't want to explain, then don't, but there's no need to fob me off."

Zhou Yan replied with a huff upon hearing this.

"I told you the truth, but you didn't believe me. It is indeed recorded like that in Cang Tian Library; otherwise, where would I have known it from?"

Lv Yang didn't reply to him again, and it was unknown how much he believed, as he returned to silence once more.

Seeing that they couldn't communicate again, Zhou Yan felt somewhat helpless. If he had known, he wouldn't have reacted so strongly at the time, but in that kind of scene, it was hard not to react.

What a sin.

Regarding the origin of the name 'Lv Yue', Zhou Yan truly hadn't lied to Lv Yang.

That day, after he finished asking about the Transmigrators in Cang Tian Library, Cang Tian Library issued him a mission.

It was strange to say, but that mission basically overlapped with his current task; it was also about going to the Desire Realm, and perhaps even about 'Sui'.

However, unlike stopping the activation of 'Sui', what Cang Tian Library told him was to go and stop the arrival of a certain existence, and for this, he had to first destroy a device.

It was just that Cang Tian Library didn't know what that device was, only saying that Zhou Yan would know once he got there.

And according to what it said, it didn't know anything about 'Sui' or any plans; it was merely entrusted by someone to convey a mission.

As for who that person was, Cang Tian Library's answer remained insufficient permission.

It only revealed that after completing this mission, he could obtain a huge benefit, and in order to complete the mission, it had specifically included a Divine Ability.

Cang Tian Library had only sought him out for this matter, so after discovering there was nothing urgent, Zhou Yan used the remaining time to ask about Immortal Reincarnation.

Perhaps because of Meng Zhang, Zhou Yan actually had preview permissions regarding Immortal Reincarnation, which were even much greater than the permissions Transmigrators could view.

By searching the keyword "Lv Yang", Zhou Yan searched around but didn't find anything; however, he successfully found relevant information under the name "Chen Wei".

According to the records, Chen Wei was the Reincarnation of some high-ranking Daoist figure, but as for who exactly, the content displayed above was lost.

Originally, he had already lost hope in Cang Tian Library, but Zhou Yan unexpectedly discovered some strange things in Chen Wei's relevant information column.

After flipping through some random things, Zhou Yan discovered that in some characters' relevant information, some could be directly clicked into, while others required additional searching.

And right below it, there were two black boxes that could be clicked.

Seeing this, Zhou Yan clicked on them casually.

As a result, the screen flashed, and he saw the two characters "White Emperor", and in the relevant search bar, it wrote Lv Yue, █ █ Mo, █ █; it seemed there were more things popping up subsequently, but they were all black boxes.

Just when he wanted to ask what was going on, the whole world seemed to turn gray for an instant, and then this content disappeared, as if nothing had ever happened.

If Zhou Yan wasn't certain that his memory was fine, he would have thought he was starting to get dizzy or that his eyes were playing tricks on him.

So Zhou Yan changed his approach and directly asked about the information on "White Emperor".

As a result, he discovered that these characters couldn't be typed at all, and even if he said them for Cang Tian Library to hear, it seemed as if it couldn't hear them either.

After failing no matter how he tried, Zhou Yan casually entered the information for "Lv Yue", and as a result, he actually saw something.

[Lv Yue]

[Kurong Temple, Unknown Era, Heavenly Master] (Excerpt from Kurong Temple Daoist Scriptures)

Just a name, a description, and a source record; there was nothing else, and no relevant information.

Logically speaking, apart from searching for the name directly, it would be impossible to discover these things.

But if one really knew this name, then what they knew would probably be even more than what was recorded above.

However, Zhou Yan's mind turned quickly; regardless of the reason why that strange page of records appeared before his eyes, at least it indicated that Chen Wei had some connection to that so-called White Emperor.

And this White Emperor was related to Lv Yue and that so-called Mo.

Therefore, Zhou Yan had reason to suspect that Chen Wei was the Reincarnation of this Lv Yue; after all, this was a rare Dao Sect Senior who had relevant information about him.

Since Lv Yang claimed to be the Reincarnation of Chen Wei, then regardless of whether it was true or false, he was very likely to have heard this name.

However, Zhou Yan couldn't say it directly, otherwise it would likely backfire, so he wanted to start with the name "White Emperor" to bluff him.

This way, even if Lv Yang didn't remember the name "White Emperor" after he finished speaking, he could still let Lv Yang calculate for himself whether he had recited any name.

Although Lv Yang had no cultivation, he said he had some method of deduction; if it were accurate, he should be able to calculate what he had recited not long ago.

If the result of the calculation collided with his memory, perhaps he could bluff him and trick some intelligence out of him first.

But what Zhou Yan didn't expect was that when he recited this name, his own health bar suddenly dropped a small chunk, and Lv Yang also collapsed on the ground on the spot.

According to the principle that the transmission of information has power, this indicated that Lv Yang definitely knew something; otherwise, he wouldn't have had such a huge reaction just from hearing it, even without cultivation.

One must know that when Yu Kou spoke about some truths of the world, Zhou Yan had to have Nascent Soul cultivation to barely understand a little bit, and that was why he had a reaction.

This indicated that either Lv Yang was hiding his cultivation, or he really knew a lot, so even just recalling it would have an impact.

Regardless of which one it was, this kid was definitely shady beyond measure and was a standard riddle-monger level character, which was why Zhou Yan had to bring him along, even if he had to drag him to the Eastern Territory.

The two looked at each other in silence, and after continuing to push forward through the sandstorm for another period of time, Zhou Yan finally discovered a place to rest.

A square-shaped house, looking like a matchbox, stood in the distance.

Next to it stood a pole, with characters formed by flowing data hanging on it.

"Finally, a place to rest." Zhou Yan let out a long sigh; although he had magic power to protect himself, traveling in such a suffocating environment was truly not very comfortable.

"Why are there deserts and sandstorms in the Eastern Territory? Those who didn't know would think it was the Southern Desert."

"Don't slander it, okay? The Southern Desert is just named the Southern Desert; in reality, the deserts are very concentrated, and the overall proportion is only one-third."

After asking that question an hour ago, Lv Yang spoke for the second time today, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was complaining.

"Moreover, the Southern Desert is good at stabilizing sand, and rarely kicks up sandstorms."

"Only in a place like the Eastern Territory, which doesn't care about the environment, would such a situation occur."

Zhou Yan was also used to it; previously, when he tried to chat with him about serious matters, it was also a case of no reply for a long time after one question, and then he would act like nothing had happened.

Just when Zhou Yan thought there would be no progress like before, Lv Yang suddenly spoke in a low voice.

"Don't mention that name in the future; it's bad luck."

"And it's not good for either you or me."

"Which name?" Zhou Yan asked subconsciously, not knowing if he was talking about Lv Yue or the White Emperor.

Lv Yang's expression became a bit more serious, and he said.

"It's best not to mention either of them, even if the other one is my real name; don't mention them casually now."

Zhou Yan's pupils contracted slightly, then immediately returned to normal.

Is there finally progress?

Is this little riddle-monger finally going to start dropping the plot?

Then which one is the real name he spoke of? It should be Lv Yue, right?

After all, White Emperor doesn't look like a person's name; what decent person has the surname Bai and is named White Emperor?

Hiss, it's hard to say.

He had even seen a grown man named Bai Ling; what if this guy was really named White Emperor?

Unfortunately, there was no time to chat too much; the two soon approached that hotel, and it was obviously inconvenient to continue discussing these contents near the hotel.

Zhou Yan raised his head and studied the hotel up close. This hotel didn't look like much from a distance, but up close, he noticed the difference.

"It's clearly a place with highly developed technology, but are the walls of this hotel actually made of rock and soil?"

Looking at the rock walls in front of him, as well as the gate with quite a distinct ancient style, Zhou Yan really had the feeling of having arrived in the Southern Desert.

If it weren't for that flagpole having high technological content, he would have thought he had gone off course.

"Get lost!"

Before the two could react, a figure dressed in white, accompanied by two men in black, quickly passed between them.

Zhou Yan managed to stand firm, but Lv Yang fell down.

Just as he wanted to argue a couple of sentences, one of the men in black turned his head, glared fiercely at Lv Yang, and made a shushing and throat-slitting gesture at him, before quickly following the white-clad man into the hotel.

"What kind of people are they?"

Lv Yang rubbed his butt and complained.
