Chapter 510: The True Body Descends!

"Discovered me so quickly?"

Feeling Gu He's sharp gaze, the white-robed elder, who was using spatial power to conceal his presence, was even more surprised and curious about Gu He.

Zi Yan, on the other hand, looked up, noticed Gu He's gaze, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master, what are you looking at?"

"Zi Yan, someone is following you!" Hearing Zi Yan's question, Gu He spoke directly.

"Someone is following me? Could it be that old man Zhuo Li?" Hearing Gu He's words, Zi Yan immediately realized and then, with a puffed-up face, looked in the direction Gu He had been staring at and shouted, "Old man, we agreed that you would come for me after one day. You don't keep your word!"

Hearing Zi Yan's somewhat childish roar, the white-robed elder's face showed a hint of wry smile. Then, with a movement of his body, he stepped out from the hidden void and quickly appeared in the valley, facing Zi Yan and Gu He.

"Zi Yan, this elder is just concerned about you!" The white-robed elder explained with an awkward smile.

"Pah, you big liar!" Clearly, Zi Yan didn't buy the white-robed elder's explanation.

Seeing this, the white-robed elder didn't explain further to Zi Yan but instead shifted his gaze to Gu He and said with a smile, "I am Zhuo Li from the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan. You must be the master of this girl Zi Yan!"

"Zhuo Li?"

Upon hearing the elder's introduction, Gu He quickly recalled and understood the identity of the white-robed elder.

At present, the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan, due to the long absence of the royal bloodline, had been split into four parts by those with collateral royal bloodlines. These parts were known as the East Dragon Island, South Dragon Island, West Dragon Island, and North Dragon Island.

Among these four islands, except for the East Dragon Island, each of the other three had a Dragon King who was constantly scheming to become the Dragon Emperor. Only the East Dragon Island had never rebelled against the Dragon Emperor's lineage. As the third elder of the East Dragon Island, Zhuo Li was fiercely loyal to the Dragon Emperor and the royal bloodline.

Understanding the identity of the person who had been following them, Gu He knew that this man was not an enemy. Moreover, he had a rough idea of why Zi Yan had summoned him.

"I am Gu He, and indeed, I am Zi Yan's master!" In response to Zhuo Li's inquiry, Gu He nodded and then asked in a calm tone, "Elder Zhuo Li, you have come here to take this girl Zi Yan back to the Dragon Island, haven't you?"

"That's correct. The clan is in dire need of the return of the royal bloodline..." After hearing Gu He's question, Zhuo Li briefly explained the current state of the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan. He harbored no suspicion towards Gu He.

"Initially, I had planned to take Zi Yan back directly. However, she said she wanted to ask for your opinion, Mr. Gu He!" Zhuo Li continued.

Gu He had already guessed some of what Zhuo Li was saying. Zi Yan had been out training for nearly two years, and there were still many things Gu He needed to discuss with her.

After considering for a moment, Gu He directly addressed Zhuo Li, "Elder Zhuo Li, since Zi Yan possesses the royal bloodline of the Tai Xu Ancient Dragon Clan, she indeed needs to return to the clan and take on important responsibilities. However, I have some matters that I need to discuss with Zi Yan privately. Could you come back in one day?"

Hearing Gu He's words, Zhuo Li pondered for a moment and then looked at Zi Yan.

Sensing Zhuo Li's gaze, Zi Yan stuck her tongue out at him and said loudly, "Old man, whatever Master says goes. Just wait another day!"

Zi Yan's attitude was very clear. Moreover, based on his intuition, Zhuo Li guessed that Gu He was not an ordinary high-level semi-saint. His strength might even be stronger than his own. If he didn't grant this request, it would seem like he was pushing too hard and not giving Gu He any face. This could lead to unnecessary trouble.

Thinking this through, Zhuo Li nodded cheerfully and agreed to Gu He's words.

"Alright, then I shall wait another day!"

With these words, the space around Zhuo Li suddenly twisted, and in an instant, his figure swiftly disappeared before Gu He and Zi Yan.

"Master, this time, that old man won't pretend to leave and actually still follow us from the side, right?" Seeing Zhuo Li vanish on the spot, Zi Yan looked around suspiciously with her big, dark eyes.

Seeing Zi Yan's actions, Gu He laughed and said, "You girl, Elder Zhuo Li is at least a high-level semi-saint in cultivation. If he were hiding nearby, could he be easily discovered by just a glance from you?"

"Rest assured, Elder Zhuo Li has already gone far."

With Gu He's cultivation and perception abilities, if Zhuo Li were nearby, he would definitely not be able to hide from him.

"Hehe!"

Hearing Gu He's words, Zi Yan let out a simple laugh, then stopped thinking about Zhuo Li and instead brought up the topic of her training mission.

"Master, although I haven't broken through to Dou Ancestor yet, I am definitely confident that I will break through to Dou Ancestor within the next few months!" Zi Yan said to Gu He with full confidence.

With just a glance, Gu He understood Zi Yan's condition. He knew that her current cultivation was at the peak of nine-star Dou Huang, and her body's meridians were filled with a large amount of unrefined medicinal power. What caught Gu He's attention was that Zi Yan's physical strength had greatly improved compared to before.

So, overall, Zi Yan's training mission had been quite effective.

"Zi Yan, your training has been quite successful! I must reward you well," Gu He praised, and then continued, "However, for now, I have only sent a projection. It can only exist for half an hour. When my true body arrives, I will bring you your reward!"

"Projection... true body..."

Hearing Gu He's words, Zi Yan pondered for a moment on the spot and roughly understood what he meant. Then, she curiously asked, "Master, when will your true body come over? Will you come directly to the Dragon Island to see me then?"

"Hehe, it doesn't need to take that long. My true body will be here in just a short while!" Gu He replied with a light laugh upon hearing Zi Yan's question.

After speaking, Gu He's projection quickly made a series of profound and mysterious seals with his hands. As Gu He made the seals, a purple circle about a zhang (a traditional Chinese unit of length) in size appeared where he and Zi Yan were standing. Within the circle, there were countless intricate purple runes glowing densely.

"What is this?"

Zi Yan was very curious about the purple circle that Gu He had created. She could sense some spatial power from it, but she couldn't touch it. The purple runes flowing within the circle were also untouchable, as if they were illusions, passing right through her body.
