Chapter 4

Ning Yue casually replied, "The four great divine realms of the East: the Heavenly Court, Yingzhou, Penglai, and Huaguo Mountain! Where are you from?"

Xu Xun revealed a slight, almost imperceptible surprise and frankly said, "I am Xu Xun, one of the four welcoming envoys of Penglai! This time, I descended to the main world to capture the defector Luo Xuan. Can you tell me where you are from?"

Ning Yue lightly coughed and pretended to be calm, saying, "I come from the Heavenly Court and am temporarily serving as the local deity of this city. The four great divine realms of the East stand together and support each other. If you have any needs, you can come to me anytime. But... if you fight with someone like that guy just now, don't ask me for help. I can't fight you, and I'm not good at combat."

Xu Xun couldn't help but smile slightly and then said, "Your strength may not be inferior to ours! Just by the way you handled Luo Xuan just now, it's clear that you have at least a hundred years of cultivation. What I'm curious about is, since you cultivate water-based techniques, you should be a river deity. Why did you choose to be a local deity?"

Ning Yue shrugged and said, "The water quality in this country is too polluted. Water-based deities have long been phased out of history, and there are no more river deities. Only a few remain in the sea, still holding their posts."

Xu Xun wanted to say more, but Ning Yue didn't want to continue the conversation. He lowered his voice and said, "I need to go back to class. I'll pretend nothing happened today, and I don't want to know anything. Just don't fight in Minghu Middle School..."

Ning Yue turned and walked away decisively. Xu Xun hesitated slightly but still waved, watching Ning Yue walk away with a composed manner.

After Ning Yue left, Xu Xun looked puzzled and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "The Heavenly Court still has personnel stationed in the main world? This guy seems unfathomable and shouldn't be an unknown figure. I actually forgot to ask his name just now. I wonder who he is? Have I heard of him before?"

Xu Xun lightly snapped his fingers, and the invisible force that had enveloped the people within a dozen kilometers instantly dissipated. This force had shielded all ordinary people's perceptions, so no one knew what had happened.

When Ning Yue hurriedly entered the classroom, he immediately felt at least seven or eight pairs of eyes staring at him. He cautiously glanced around and indeed saw Luo Shengsheng, Zhang Limei, Feng Zhen, Lu Wenyin, Guan Ying, and a few other girls looking at him.

These girls' gazes were fiery, making Ning Yue feel as if he were on fire. Even when facing Luo Xuan's flames just now, he hadn't felt so awkward.

Ning Yue returned to his seat somewhat awkwardly. His desk partner, Guan Ying, gave him a sweet smile, her eyes sparkling with affection. Ning Yue felt like sitting on pins and needles but also secretly breathed a sigh of relief because it meant that the "group text message" incident hadn't been exposed yet.

Just as Ning Yue was anxiously waiting for class to start, another loud tremor shook the entire teaching building, causing screams in the classroom. Ning Yue's face changed slightly, and he inwardly exclaimed, "Could something big have happened recently, making the divine realms more active in the main world? Just now it was Xu Xun and Luo Xuan. Who is fighting now?"

Ning Yue quickly stood up and calmed everyone, saying, "It might be an earthquake. Don't panic. Let's leave the classroom and go to the playground."

Ning Yue usually had a good reputation among the students, and his calm demeanor helped to stabilize the emotions of his classmates. They all rushed to the classroom door in a frenzy.

Ning Yue tried to maintain order. Once all the students had left the classroom and run out of the teaching building, he couldn't help but quietly leave the group and head in the direction of the tremor, wanting to know what had happened.

A few minutes later, Ning Yue saw a residential building that had been reduced to ruins. He was slightly surprised and couldn't help but exclaim, "Isn't that my cousin Pang Qian's building? How did it end up like this?"

Ning Yue wanted to go inside to see if there were any survivors, but he soon sensed several unusual auras. Moreover, a large number of police had already arrived at the scene, making it inconvenient for him to take any action. He could only sigh and quietly leave.

Ning Yue didn't return to school; he didn't want to go back today. He left the scene of the collapsed building and the chaotic crowd, found a secluded place, and made a call he hadn't made in a long time.

Soon, a clear female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Lord Yan Jifeng, what do you need me to do, Feili?"

"Don't call me Yan Jifeng. My name now is Ning Yue. Find out how many outsiders have recently come to this city... I mean, those with special identities, and who acted just now."

The girl's voice on the phone remained respectful but also carried a hint of stubbornness.

"Lord Yan Jifeng! I am your spirit servant and cannot be disrespectful. My master is Lord Yan Jifeng, not Young Master Ning Yue. Therefore, I will only respond to Lord Yan Jifeng's summons and not accept any orders from Ning Yue. Do you want to find out if any divine realm beings have descended recently? I can give you an answer in three hours. Please be patient."

Ning Yue hung up the phone with a sense of helplessness and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Even I almost forgot that my original name was Yan Jifeng, but this little girl Feili insists on mentioning it... I really don't want to use that old name!"

Ning Yue sighed slightly, gazing at the sky, his emotions surging. His age on his household registration and ID card was fourteen, but his actual age was seven hundred years, dating back to the late Yuan Dynasty.

His original name was Yan Jifeng, a peerless martial arts grandmaster of the late Yuan Dynasty. Later, he had a very special encounter and entered another world, where he gained the long-desired power and the qualification for immortality. If not for being caught up in a vast and ancient conspiracy, he would still be living a different life in that strange world.

Although he relied on his unparalleled wisdom and courage to fight hard, the enemy he faced was too powerful, so powerful that he couldn't resist. In the end, his main body was suppressed under the first treasure of one of the four great divine realms of the East, the Penglai Immortal Peach Tree, while only a clone managed to escape back to the main world.
