Chapter 362: The True Identity of Donghuang Taiyi!
Below the forbidden ground, chaos reigned.
Gravel flew, and the ground cracked.
A beam of bright light cascaded from the hole above.
The two people in the cave couldn’t be said to be in a state of distress, but their situation wasn’t much better.
Donghuang Taiyi, a master who had been famous for decades.
It could be said that in this world, there was hardly anyone who could kill him by themselves.
Li Mo, a nobody who had been obscure just a few years ago.
He was still making a living by telling stories in Zilan Pavilion.
But in such a short period, he had grown into an unparalleled master of the Jianghu, not only leading the Luo Network and Liu Sha assassin organizations, but also possessed wealth rivaling nations.
Donghuang Taiyi was secretly shocked.
If Li Mo continued to develop like this, once he reached the age of figures like Master of Ghost Valley or Master Xun, who in this world could still be his opponent?
Just as the two were in a standoff, several faint sounds of breaking air suddenly emerged from above.
It was none other than Fei Yan, Li Wu, and the Loulan Grand Priestess arriving.
Though the light in the secret chamber was dim, it was sufficient to reveal the scene inside.
The few of them were in a flat, open square.
A towering bronze door stood to the left, resembling a ferocious beast lurking in the dark.
Complex runes were carved into the bronze, each radiating a strong, eerie aura.
“Fortunately, fortunately!”
As soon as the Grand Priestess descended into the chamber, she looked towards the bronze door.
Seeing that the door was still intact, she sighed in relief.
Obviously, behind this massive bronze door lay the legendary Chiyou Magic Sword!
If the Chiyou Magic Sword were taken, without the sword’s suppression, the evil spirit of Chiyou would escape into the mortal realm.
Not only would Loulan City be at stake, but the entire world would likely face catastrophic disaster!
Although the bronze door was unharmed, while the Grand Priestess breathed a sigh of relief, Fei Yan, who had descended alongside her, instantly tensed up.
Her phoenix eyes were filled with shock, and she froze like a statue in place.
Her gaze was fixed intensely on Donghuang Taiyi across from her, as if she had seen something unimaginable.
The moment they arrived, Donghuang Taiyi had already sensed it.
If it weren’t for the caution towards Li Mo, upon seeing Fei Yan, he might have struck without mercy!
Anyone who dared to betray the Yin-Yang School would have nowhere to bury their bodies!
At this moment, Donghuang Taiyi had lost the mystery and calmness he usually portrayed.
The black robe that had concealed his entire self had been destroyed in the battle with Li Mo, revealing his true face.
An old man.
But his eyes were piercing, filled with a fierce aura.
The exposed skin had an eerie ashen hue, looking extremely bizarre.
Donghuang Taiyi’s identity had always been a mystery, as no one had seen his true face, even among those of the Yin-Yang School.
Now that his true appearance was revealed, it didn’t seem all that different.
However, how could such an apparently ordinary tall old man provoke such an unusual reaction from Fei Yan?
“Lady, do you recognize this person?”
Li Mo noticed Fei Yan’s abnormal reaction and asked.
Li Wu and the Grand Priestess, who had come down with her, also looked at her with puzzlement.
The Grand Priestess might not understand Fei Yan.
But Li Wu was no stranger to her.
When they had faced the peculiar Bai Xianwu before, Fei Yan had remained unfazed.
It could be said that Fei Yan’s composure was far greater than that of an ordinary person.
“Is it… you?!”
Under Li Mo’s inquiry, Fei Yan finally spoke slowly.
Her tone was both shocked and certain.
The shock came from the unexpectedness.
While the certainty indicated that she wouldn’t mistake him!
“So it seems you know him.”
Li Mo nodded gently.
Although Fei Yan had not explicitly stated it, her words nearly confirmed that she knew this Donghuang Taiyi.
“Surprised to see me?”
No longer concealed by his black robe, Donghuang Taiyi’s voice sounded hollow, as if it had lost its essence.
In his shimmering eyes, the intent to kill surged forth, showing no concealment towards the others.
The Grand Priestess also sensed that the identity of the person before them was likely extraordinary.
Instinctively, she asked, “Who is he?”
Fei Yan remained silent, as if still processing the sudden shock.
It was Li Mo who stood before her, and after pondering for a moment, he suddenly chuckled, “The head of the Yin-Yang School, others call him Donghuang Taiyi. Of course, that’s just a code name; if you want to know his real name…”
At this point, Li Mo suddenly paused.
The smile at the corner of his mouth gradually faded, replaced by a more serious expression.
Donghuang Taiyi stared intently at him, slowly saying, “Do you know my identity?”
Li Mo didn’t rush to answer; instead, he spoke methodically, “Five hundred years ago, a remarkable person emerged from Taoism. He possessed extraordinary talents from a young age, with a high level of understanding of Taoist martial arts, but later he felt that the concepts of Taoism did not align with him, thus he left Taoism to establish his own school, which is now the Yin-Yang School.”
“The Yin-Yang School takes characters from the ‘Chuci’ as its namesake. Although it originated from Taoism, its understanding of the Way differs from Taoism. They seek to explore the limits of heaven and humanity, constantly delving into their own potential, benefiting themselves alone.”
“It is precisely because of this extreme training method that the power of Yin-Yang techniques has reached an astonishing level, allowing the Yin-Yang School to rapidly rise to prominence in the world.”
“Has the Grand Priestess ever heard of this person?”
At this point, Li Mo turned to ask the Grand Priestess beside him.
Although the Grand Priestess was in the desert, she was quite familiar with the various schools of thought from the Central Plains.
Upon hearing this, she immediately nodded, “The founder of the Yin-Yang School, Zou Yan. Who hasn’t heard of such a figure?”
Li Mo smiled and said, “But who would have thought that Zou Yan was not only the first Donghuang Taiyi of the Yin-Yang School but also…”
As his words fell, the Grand Priestess and Li Wu both looked at Donghuang Taiyi with shock.
In unison, they exclaimed, “He is Zou Yan?”
