The Legend of the Great Saint: Start from the Sign-in at Mount Tai

Chapter 497 Qing Shi Returns to the Second City

Lu Zhou finally heard news about Ye Fan again.

It drops from the second level of the ancient road.

Sometimes, even Lu Zhou had to marvel at Ye Tiandi's ability to stir up trouble.

Or perhaps it's because many things are truly predestined.

Originally, according to Lu Zhou's prediction, after his various intrusions, Ye Fan should have arrived at the first level of the ancient human road ahead of his original timeline.

But now, for some unknown reason, the time when Ye Fan arrived at the first pass of the ancient human road has been reset back to the timeline in the original story.

When Ye Fan and his group arrived at the first trial, they encountered the Thirteen Riders of Tianhuang and Rui Wei, becoming part of the same batch of trial participants.

What happened next was almost identical to what Ye Fan encountered in the first trial in the original novel.

The invincible aura emanating from Ye Fan stirred up some negative emotions in Guan Cheng's heart once again.

Guan Cheng and Ye Fan clashed, embarking once again on the path of trials.

In the end, they also fought their way into the second city, which caused a great sensation.

What Lu Zhou didn't expect was that he had already forcibly taken away a portion of the Source of Dao.

As a result, when Ye Fan entered the Crimson Trial Grounds for the trial, the Source of Dao still appeared, and Ye Fan snatched them all.

In a mere twenty-three years, the Source of the Dao appeared in the world three times, once after twelve years and once after eleven years, and was obtained by Di Tian, ​​Ba Xian, and a person surnamed Ye respectively. This news instantly shook the entire ancient road once again.

What shocked those who heard the news most was that the man surnamed Ye, who was rumored to have conquered the Emperor's Road on a foul-mouthed horse, was actually a heretic, just like the Overlord Immortal. He had not gained the approval of the Source of the Dao, but instead forcibly imprisoned it.
When Lu Zhou heard these messages from behind him at the forty-ninth level, he instantly knew that Ye Fan and Long Ma had finally arrived.

Where is Ji Ziyue?

"Didn't they decide to travel together?"

"Why are only Ye Fan and Long Ma here now?"

Lu Zhou pondered, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"Has something happened again?"

Lu Zhou even wondered if Ye Fan and Long Ma's unexpected arrival at the Ancient Road checkpoint at the original timeline was related to this matter.

At the same time, not long after, Lu Zhou heard another message coming from the Second City at high speed.

The news left Lu Zhou speechless.

The second city on the ancient human route!
This city has long since regained its former prosperity and bustle.

Eleven years ago, Kane and his men pacified the Second City, killing many powerful clans that had occupied it and destroying many of its buildings.

However, the demise of those powerful clans also meant that the interests that originally belonged to them were left vacant.

Clearly, it is impossible for the Second City's guide family alone, along with the forces within the Second City that were not involved in that matter, to completely seize the interests that originally belonged to the Yan Clan and other forces.

Since then, some forces that have their eyes on the Second City have flocked to it, bringing population or other things to the Second City.

Finally, a new power structure was established in the second city.

Meanwhile, batches of trial participants continued to pour in.

This also became one of the factors that helped the Second City regain its former prosperity and bustle.

Not long after Ye Fan arrived in the Second City, before the city's guide could open the trial grounds, news quickly caused a sensation in the Second City once again.

The banished fairy Qing Shi has returned and was personally welcomed into the city by the guide of the Second City.

Upon hearing this news, Ye Fan's heart stirred, and he carefully listened to the discussions among the people around him.

He learned about a banished fairy named Qing Shi for the first time.

This is the first time I've ever heard of someone on the trial path being able to return to the rear through a treasure called the Divine Light Platform.

He immediately became very interested in the Divine Light Platform and wanted to build one for himself.

He sought information from passersby and onlookers nearby, and learned more about Shenguangtai and the immortal Qing Shi.

He also learned more about the Overlord Immortal Lu Zhou.

It made him smile and sigh once again.

"I knew it; wherever a road passes through, there will inevitably be legends about him."

In fact, along the way, he and Longma discovered quite a few traces that Lu Zhou had deliberately left for them.

While they arrived at the first checkpoint and were still waiting outside the city for the gate to open,

They had already heard the legend of the guide of the first gate, who broke the rules to open the gate ahead of time for his good brother and personally welcomed his good brother into the city.

When he rode the dragon horse and fought his way into the second city with the Thirteen Riders of Tianhuang and Guan Cheng.

Not long after, he and Longma also heard about Kane and the others pacifying the Second City.

This surprised both Ye Fan and Long Ma.

They originally thought that their fight to reach the second city was amazing enough.

Unexpectedly, the commotion caused by his brothers, Kane, and the Golden-Winged Roc King in the Second City far surpassed his own.

After they figured out the reason why the Second City was wiped out by Lu Zhou and his group, it was because of the Source of the Dao.

Ye Fan's expression immediately hardened.

Meanwhile, Longma, standing to the side, glanced at Ye Fan with a hint of excitement.

"I have a feeling that we'll soon be embarking on a campaign to wipe out the Second City of Gulu!"

"Kane and his team are giving us a preview."

Ye Fan didn't say anything, but deep down he already agreed with a lot of what Longma had said.

Now, the fact that he obtained the Source of the Dao, but was not recognized by the Source of the Dao, has also been spread.

Ye Fan believed that what happened to Lu Zhou because of the Source of the Dao might also happen to him.

He had a strong premonition about this.

Not long after, when he heard that the Fairy Qing Shi had returned to the Second City from the depths of the ancient road using the Divine Light Platform, and heard that many people were speculating that the Fairy had come for the Source of Dao in his possession.

Ye Fan's premonition became even stronger.

Just like in the original story, Qing Shi is preparing to hold a party in Bibo Xianlin.

She invited many people who were famous in the second city.

There are established forces entrenched in the Second City, as well as new forces that have gained a strong foothold in the Second City over the years.

Besides them, the remaining Thirteen Riders of the Desolate Land, Guan Cheng, and Ye Fan and other trial participants who had recently entered the Second City were also invited.

Ye Fan arrived on time, wanting to see who was after his Dao Source.

If you anger him, he wouldn't mind launching a purge in this second city, just like his brothers.

Not long after Ye Fan appeared in the Azure Wave Immortal Forest, Qing Shi also appeared.

He sat alone to one side, drinking and quietly observing the various pleasantries exchanged among the attendees, as well as the various praises given to the Fairy of Green Poetry.

Just then, he heard a lively and agile divine thought transmission in his ear.

She is Ling'er, Qing Shi's maid.

She greeted Ye Fan very familiarly.

This indicates that she and her young lady came for him.

After that, Ye Fan saw a hint of suspicion creep onto Ling'er's face as she continued to transmit her voice to him.

"Hey, I heard you're also named Ye Fan!"

"Are you the Holy Body Ye Fan that Ba Xian mentioned a few years ago?"

Do you know Ba Xian?

Ye Fan had been asked similar questions countless times since he arrived at the first level and revealed his name.

Rui Wei asked him that question.

Yu Xian asked him the same question.

Even some of the knights of the Thirteen Riders of Tianhuang, as well as Guan Cheng and the deceased Lord Junwei Mountain, had asked him the same question.

He wasn't the only one who experienced something like this.

In this vast universe, how many people named Ye Fan are there?
Just in Ye Fan's hometown on Earth, there are probably at least a hundred or so people named Ye Fan.

Similarly, the number of those who can embark on this ancient path is far fewer than the countless population of the world.

However, in recent years, several trial participants named Ye Fan have reached this initial stage of the ancient road checkpoint.

Two of them were 'seed-level' players who had broken through to the Saint Realm.

At first, when people heard that those people were actually named Ye Fan, they thought that this might be the Holy Body Ye Fan that Ba Xian had mentioned.

In the end, it turned into one farce after another.

Even the guide at the first level made a fool of himself, leaving him extremely embarrassed.

After this happened a few times, people are still quite sensitive to the trial participant named Ye Fan, but they are no longer as sensitive as they were at the beginning.

Ye Fan had already heard about this.

Now, whenever someone asks if he is the Holy Body Ye Fan...

Ye Fan would usually respond with a smile.

"So what?"

"So what if it isn't?"

Even now, Ye Fan had a vague feeling that the fox-like Yu Xian seemed to have already decided that he was the Holy Body Ye Fan mentioned by Ba Xian. Besides, perhaps it was because of his performance in the first level, his battle with the enemy into the city, and his obtaining the Source of Dao.

Currently, there are likely many more people who suspect that he might actually be the real Holy Body Ye Fan.

Ye Fan had already noticed the solemnity and apprehension in Guan Chenghe's eyes when he looked at the remaining thirteen riders of Tianhuang.

At this moment, when Ling'er asked him the same question, Ye Fan pondered for a moment before asking in return.

"Does it really matter whether I am the Holy Body Ye Fan or not, or whether I know the Overlord Immortal?"

"Of course it's important!"

Ling'er answered quickly.

"why?"

Ye Fan pressed for an answer.

But Ling'er didn't answer why; instead, she hummed and transmitted her voice to Ye Fan.

"Hey, wasn't I the one who asked you first?"

"You still haven't answered me: are you the Holy Body or not? Do you even know the Overlord Immortal?"

Since it was their first meeting, Ye Fan was still unclear about Ling'er and Qing Shi's character.

We haven't figured out yet whether they have any other purpose besides the Source of the Dao in coming at us.

He had not heard of any connection or relationship between Lu Zhou and the fairy Qing Shi.

Thinking of this, Ye Fan fell silent for the time being and stopped responding to Ling'er.

He was changing the subject, using his rambling and irrelevant talk to try and get some information out of the young maid.

As it turned out, Ling'er was not so easily fooled.

Ling'er rolled her eyes at him, perhaps because she needed Ye Fan's help, or perhaps because she was worried that the Ye Fan in front of her was really the same Ye Fan who possessed the Holy Body.

Ling'er wanted to give Ye Fan some benefits, so she told him some of the things he asked her about.

Apart from the people that Ling'er intentionally reminded Ye Fan to be careful of, there was nothing else.

Basically, it's similar to what they talked about in the Bibo Xianlin in the original novel.

After she finished, Ling'er added.

"Of course, if you are the Holy Body Ye Fan that Ba Xian mentioned, then I think you probably don't need to care too much about those people!"

Ye Fan immediately understood that this little maid was still subtly testing him.

Just then, the fairy, who had finished exchanging pleasantries with everyone, suddenly smiled and looked at Ye Fan, speaking to him.

And as she did in the original story, she got straight to the point as soon as she opened her mouth.

Qing Shi said to Ye Fan.

"Please forgive my boldness, but the main reason I came back this time is for the Source of the Dao!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene instantly became somewhat subtle.

Ye Fan met her gaze, and the eyes of everyone present kept shifting back and forth between Ye Fan and the fairy.

A moment later, Ye Fan smiled calmly.

"nothing!"

These three words completely ignored Qing Shi's words and offered no other indication.

This situation stirred something within Qing Shi.

Lu Zhou's image appeared in her mind.

This scene felt quite familiar to Qing Shi.

Eleven years ago, also here, she met Lu Zhou for the first time.

When she told Lu Zhou that she had indeed come for the source of the Dao, Lu Zhou remained just as calm.

In a daze, at this moment, Qing Shi saw a shadow similar to Lu Zhou in Ye Fan in front of her.

He remained calm and composed when facing her.

They were both rejected by the Source of the Dao, both forcibly obtained it, and both were called heretics by the Source of the Dao.
'Could it really be him?'

'He is the Holy Body Ye Fan that Lu Zhou mentioned.'

Qing Shi recalled the telepathic message that Ling'er had just sent to her.

That was clearly the content of Ling'er's previous chat with Ye Fan.

At this point, Qing Shi became increasingly suspicious that Ye Fan, who had obtained the Source of Dao, was most likely the same Ye Fan with the Holy Body that Lu Zhou had mentioned.

'I just wonder, is there any relationship between him and Lu Zhou?'

Qing Shi is not the only one with this question.

Over the years, ever since Lu Zhou mentioned Ye Fan, the Holy Body, many people have been speculating whether there is any connection between the Overlord Immortal and the Holy Body.

Some say they might be friends.

However, this viewpoint has not gained much acceptance.

Because when Ba Xian mentioned Ye Fan, the Holy Body, back then, his original words did not suggest that he had any particularly good relationship with the Holy Body.

Many people believe that the Overlord Immortal and the Holy Body may simply be acquaintances, or perhaps they have only heard of each other's existence from somewhere.

More likely, they also see each other as sworn enemies on the imperial path, each with their own sense of mutual respect.

'I should go to level 49 and ask Lu Zhou about this first!'

Qing Shi was somewhat annoyed.

This time, I feel that her approach was a bit too hasty and somewhat inappropriate.

Thinking this, she stopped discussing the Origin of Dao with Ye Fan in public.

Instead, he casually changed the subject and started chatting with everyone about other things.

She shared her observations and experiences from the depths of the ancient road with the attendees who sought her advice.

But secretly, she transmitted her voice to Ye Fan.

"Brother Ye, are you acquainted with the Immortal Lord Lu Zhou? What is your relationship?"

"Please inform me, Brother Ye. I, Qing Shi, will be extremely grateful and promise you that whatever your answer may be, I will keep it a secret!"

Is this important to you?

Actually, Ye Fan didn't need to ask; he already knew the answer.

If it weren't important, then not long after Ling'er asked it, Qing Shi would have asked him the same question again.

"Well, it's very important!"

Qing Shi responded quickly, and Ye Fan could sense through the fluctuations in Qing Shi's divine sense that she took this matter very seriously.

This stirred Ye Fan's heart once again. Looking at Qing Shi's beauty and temperament, which were no less than those of Yan Ruyu and other goddesses of the Big Dipper, he was reminded of some of his good brother's quirks.

Ye Fan immediately had some guesses.

Thinking of this, he transmitted his thoughts to Qing Shi.

"I am Ye Fan, the Holy Body, and Lu Zi is my brother!"

Although this was the first time Qing Shi had heard the name Lu Zi.

But combined with the previous sentence, "I am the Holy Body Ye Fan," Qing Shi immediately understood that the path Ye Fan was referring to was the Overlord Immortal Continent.

"I never imagined you two would be as close as brothers!"

Hearing Ye Fan say this, and remembering her own reasons for coming here, Qing Shi was truly at a loss for words.

"Is there a problem with that? I feel like you seem to have some kind of connection with Lu Zi?"

As Ye Fan transmitted his thoughts to Qing Shi, he also raised an eyebrow at her, his expression revealing a hint of gossip.

Qing Shi felt a rare moment of panic, but she still transmitted her thoughts to Ye Fan.

"He has been kind to me, and we are good friends!"

"Just good friends?"

Ye Fan's divine sense already carried a clear sense of mockery.

With his extensive experience with women over the years, Ye could tell from Qing Shi's current state that she was interested in his brother Lu Zi.

And he knew Lu Zhou too well. He could figure out even with his bare hands that a fairy like Qing Shi would definitely be taken into his harem unless Qing Shi was a bad person.

Ye Fan's inner gossip was now burning brighter and brighter.

His attitude towards Qing Shi has clearly become much closer.

In fact, he guessed very accurately.

Few people know that Lu Zhou and Qing Shi's relationship is actually quite close.

Over the years, their respective trials and cultivations have prevented them from meeting or traveling together.

However, they often exchanged messages with each other.

Ling'er, who controlled the Divine Light Platform, became their messenger.

This situation suddenly brought back the feeling that Lu Zhou had when he had an online romance many years ago.
