Chapter 1287: Powerful Ancient Being?

Xiao Chen smiled embarrassedly and said, "Suifeng, you are joking with me, right?"

Liu Suifeng replied seriously, "Big Brother Xiao Chen, I am not joking with you. I really do not have an elder sister. Everyone in the entire Heavenly Saber Pavilion knows that."

Xiao Chen sensed that this matter was very strange. He said sullenly, "Say that one more time."

Liu Suifeng felt that Xiao Chen turned somewhat scary, but he still answered, "I, Liu Suifeng, am an only child. I do not have any memories of having an elder sister."

"That's impossible!" Xiao Chen shouted. How could it be? Could it be that everything that happened to me on Qingyun Peak was just a dream?!

"You are not Liu Suifeng! I'll go ask someone else." Xiao Chen's face sank. Then, he moved to the Heavenly Saber Pavilion's main hall in the blink of the eye and saw the Pavilion Master, Leng Tianhe.

Liu Suifeng said suspiciously, "What's wrong with Big Brother Xiao? Do I really have an elder sister? When Xinyun comes back, I have to ask her. However, I really do not remember having one!"

Just as Liu Suifeng nervously asked himself this question, Leng Tianhe also appeared confused. This meant that of the thousands of disciples, not a single one knew Liu Ruyue.

This…this… How can it be?! How can it be that he does not know Liu Ruyue! Furthermore, he is so sure about it?!

Such a big incident made Xiao Chen somewhat frantic as he went about asking people of various levels.

Xiao Chen made himself calm down, then flew straight to the Imperial Capital and sought out Ying Yue. Liu Ruyue and Ying Yue went through experiential training together. She should not have forgotten Liu Ruyue.

In the end, Ying Yue said that she did not know nor even heard of Liu Ruyue at all. No wonder Ying Yue had not mentioned Liu Ruyue when he first arrived at the Sky Dome Realm. She did not have any memories of Liu Ruyue in the first place.

Xiao Chen felt disappointed and frustrated and very lost. Then, he sought out Feng Feixue in the Imperial Capital. Feng Feixue was incredibly happy to see Xiao Chen. However, she also said that she had never heard of the person called Liu Ruyue.

"I don't believe it. I don't!"

Xiao Chen suppressed the pain in his heart as he flew all over the Sky Dome Realm. As long as it was a place that had a connection with Liu Ruyue, he visited them all.

However, it was like everyone had come to an agreement; they all said that they had never heard of Liu Ruyue before.

Above the ruins of Thunder Emperor Valley, Xiao Chen looked out to the boundless sea. His hair scattered about messily, and he appeared extremely fatigued.

Inside the Immortal Spirit Ring, Ao Jiao did not know how to console Xiao Chen, either. This was because she also had never heard of the person called Liu Ruyue before.

"Could it be that this world completely forgot you, and only I know that you existed?" Xiao Chen muttered to himself. He felt like his entire being was going to crumble.

He started to wonder whether this world was real or just an illusion.

Could it be that it was really just a dream?

Xiao Chen entered deep thought. This matter was simply too strange. A living person actually left no traces of their existence in this world at all.

It was like Liu Ruyue had not existed in the first place. However, Xiao Chen remembered it clearly. He would never be able to forget those various scenes in his mind.

Be it one thousand years or ten thousand, he would not forget. Liu Ruyue was someone that Xiao Chen had to protect all his life.

Suddenly, inspiration flashed in Xiao Chen's mind; a possibility suddenly occurred to him.

Many of the Kunlun Realm's Martial Emperors speculated that there had been powerful beings who managed to break through the limits of Martial Emperor during the Ancient Era, the peak period of the Martial Epoch. However, these powerful beings did not leave any stories of them behind.

It was even to the point where nothing was recorded in any of the ancient books. Even the top of the Sage Mark Monument had only some vague marks.

Aside from this, there were no traces at all, which even made many Martial Emperors doubt that there was a peak above Martial Emperor.

Could it be that Liu Ruyue left this abandoned land like those powerful ancient beings who wiped out all traces of themselves in this world?

However, that was impossible. Xiao Chen himself was only as powerful as a Martial Emperor. How would Liu Ruyue leave this abandoned land?

Regardless of the actual situation, this guess allowed Xiao Chen to truly calm down.

"Ao Jiao, come out for a moment."

When Ao Jiao came out, Xiao Chen extended his hand and prodded her forehead. Then, he transferred his memories with Liu Ruyue directly into Ao Jiao's sea of consciousness.

Instantly, scenes of Xiao Chen interacting with Liu Ruyue appeared in Ao Jiao's mind.

Ao Jiao showed pain on her face as sweat continuously dripped down. It felt like her mind was being torn apart, and she showed a bewildered expression.

After the pain passed, Ao Jiao panted nonstop. Then, she looked at Xiao Chen and said, "I remember. I remember everything. Liu Ruyue is your lover, the lover whom you swore to protect."

Only now did Xiao Chen heave a sigh of relief. It was not a dream. It was just that the world had forgotten Liu Ruyue.

Ao Jiao felt fear. "To think that someone wiped away parts of my memories without me realizing it. What exactly is going on?"

"We should return to Qingyun Peak and help Liu Suifeng recover his memories. After that, the truth will come to light!"

Xiao Chen already had some guesses and even knew why he did not forget Liu Ruyue. He would be able to verify his speculation when he reached Qingyun Peak and helped Liu Suifeng recover his memories.

Soon, the calmed Xiao Chen returned to Qingyun Peak and sought out Liu Suifeng.

"Big Brother Xiao Chen, what's going on? Do I really have an elder sister?" Liu Suifeng asked somewhat anxiously. He already knew that Xiao Chen had gone all around the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, asking about this elder sister.

However, no matter how much Liu Suifeng thought about it, he could not find an elder sister in his memories.

Xiao Chen's expression turned serious as he looked at Liu Suifeng. "You really don't remember anything?"

"I do not remember. I don't recall ever having an elder sister," Liu Suifeng answered honestly, feeling somewhat nervous.

Xiao Chen felt hurt. How ruthless. No wonder there was not a single trace of those people who left the abandoned land for the past tens of thousands of years.

Even the person closest to them forgot about their existence. Who else could possibly remember? After so many years, there was only a mystery left to the later generations.

"I'll tell you this. Your elder sister's name is Liu Ruyue. She is the closest person to you and also the person that I, Xiao Chen, love the most."

Xiao Chen reached out and used the same method to make his memories of Liu Ruyue appear in Liu Suifeng's sea of consciousness.

The past events shared by Xiao Chen and Liu Ruyue floated before Liu Suifeng's eyes like a film.

The various events appeared scene by scene, studying at Qingyun Peak, getting drunk and singing, fighting with Murong Chong, the final battle at the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, Liu Ruyue blocking that fatal strike from Song Que…

"What's going on?! What's going on?! Why do I feel these scenes are so familiar? My elder sister…"

When Xiao Chen pulled his finger back, a bewildered but pained expression appeared on Liu Suifeng's face. Liu Suifeng's eyes filled with alarm. After a while, it turned into extreme pain. Bean-sized droplets of sweat dripped from his forehead.

Liu Suifeng screamed. The wounds hidden deep in his memories tore open.

"Sis!"

Liu Suifeng seemed to go crazy. His eyes turned bloodshot as he let out pained roars. The memories finally resurfaced.

Liu Suifeng looked as if a heavy weight was crushing him. He clenched his fists and fell to the ground, panting heavily.

Xiao Chen did not say anything. Although he felt very anxious and urgently wanted to know the answer, he still waited for Liu Suifeng's condition to stabilize first.

After a long time, Liu Suifeng seemed to recover. He stood up and said, "Brother-in-law, I remember now. I remember everything."

Light flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. "Tell me what happened."

"About half a year ago, Sis and I were happily chatting in the courtyard when, suddenly, a hole opened in the sky above. It looked terrifying. Before I could react, a pillar of light descended on my sister."

Xiao Chen felt very anxious. He could not help prompting, "Then?"

"After that, my sister turned into a White Dragon giving off the aura of kingship. I have no idea what happened. I ended up kneeling on the ground, unable to resist at all. I do not clearly remember what happened after that. Sis seemed to have flown into that hole after turning into a White Dragon."

Tearing through the sky and turning into a dragon!

Xiao Chen's heart sank. If he recalled correctly, Liu Ruyue's Martial Spirit was a White Dragon.

White Dragon. This dug out some of Xiao Chen's memories from long ago. Before he first arrived at the Heavenly Saber Pavilion, a White Dragon Storm nearly killed him. This storm contained a consciousness filled with love and hate, almost causing him to go into a state of Berserking Qi Deviation.

Back then, Xiao Chen had not thought much about it. However, now that he did, it made him tremble in fear. Could it be that all these incidents were not just coincidence?

According to Liu Suifeng's description, it seemed like someone summoned Liu Ruyue, awakening the Dragon Race bloodline in her body, causing her to turn into a dragon. There were some peak Martial Techniques that could bring about such a transformation. However, clearly, that was not Liu Ruyue's situation.

Xiao Chen could only reason that Liu Ruyue possessed the Dragon Race's bloodline in the first place. Otherwise, she could not have turned into a dragon.

In the Distant Sea Dragon Grave, Xiao Chen had learned from that ancient tomb keeper that the Dragon Race still existed outside the abandoned land.

Before the Dragon's Gate was destroyed, the ancestors of the Dragon's Gate could use the totem to come in contact with that ancient Dragon Race, allowing them to strengthen the Dragon Might of their Martial Spirit. Because the Xiao Clan signed a blood contract with the Dragon Race, they already had a certain amount of the Dragon Race's bloodline flowing in their bodies.

After thinking of this, Xiao Chen heaved a sigh of relief. At least, he could figure out that Liu Ruyue should be safe for now.

"Suifeng, relax a little. Work with me. Let me see the scene that you once saw."

For the sake of getting more accurate information, Xiao Chen decided to use his Spiritual Sense to view Liu Suifeng's memories directly. However, he was not familiar with such types of techniques. Even with his strong Mental Energy, he needed Liu Suifeng's cooperation.

Liu Suifeng did not say much, asking directly, "How should I work with you? Please tell me."

Xiao Chen nodded and replied, "That is simple. My Spiritual Sense will enter your sea of consciousness. Just let it in and bring up the memories of that day in your mind."

"That's not a problem. Although I recall the matters of that day, they are not complete. It is best you see them for yourself."

Saying nothing more, Xiao Chen sent his Spiritual Sense into Liu Suifeng's sea of consciousness when his fingertip touched Liu Suifeng's forehead.

Xiao Chen could see that compared to his, Liu Suifeng's sea of consciousness was much smaller. It was like the difference between a pond and ocean, or clouds and mud.

Invisible energy wrapped around Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense and brought him into the depths. He instantly saw scenes that seemed even more realistic than being there himself.
