...

Lin Yi gazed at the equipment attributes of that jade hairpin, and when looking at Ling Yudao, whose eyes were already filled with red blood, his heart was full of confusion and puzzlement.

From what he learned these days, Lin Yi knew how the natives of the Nine Nether Continent distinguished the quality of a magic equipment.

Besides observing the natural luster of the equipment, the most common method was holding the equipment to feel the enhancement it brings to their own body.

Then they would judge the quality and tier of an equipment based on these factors.

As for some special abilities carried by these pieces of magic equipment, most of the time they would attempt to trigger them by the 'blind cat meeting a dead rat' approach.

That's also why the [Tuxic's Blessing], even in its broken state, had never triggered its most important attribute.

If Lin Yi hadn't happened to see it, Ling Yuwei would not have broken through to Tier Six Venerable Level at this time.

All this was because they couldn't be like Lin Yi.

Using the system's data display to fully present all the attributes of an equipment right before their eyes.

It was precisely because of this ability that Lin Yi could grasp more detailed information about a piece of magic equipment compared to these natives.

Just like this jade hairpin before him.

Lin Yi had never expected that he would see information belonging to Rafam Continent on a piece of magic equipment originally from the Nine Nether Continent.

Pilgrimage Peak!

Lin Yi seriously looked at the jade hairpin in his hand, not expecting that it would conceal a teleportation array leading to Rafam Continent.

However, this method of triggering the teleportation array was also the first Lin Yi had seen.

It surprisingly required the destruction of the hairpin to trigger this passive, and looking at the deeply affectionate Ling Yudao across from him, Lin Yi couldn't help but bitterly smile in his heart:

'If he hadn't met me, he probably wouldn't have been able to trigger this passive in his lifetime.'

Unless it accidentally drops or is unintentionally destroyed one day.

But thinking about how much he just valued this jade hairpin, the probability seemed extremely low.

Indeed, now.

Based on some information on this jade hairpin, Lin Yi's mind already guessed why Ling Yudao was so nervous about this jade hairpin.

Presumably, the 'Long Wanyi' must have extremely important relations with the person in front of him.

Lin Yi repeatedly looked at the phrase: 'My homeland is about to suffer another catastrophe...'

Homeland... Suddenly! Lin Yi's heart trembled, could it be that this Long Wanyi is, like him, also from Rafam Continent?

Thinking about this.

Lin Yi seemed to touch upon some crucial information, he looked at Ling Yudao who appeared anxious:

"Who is Long Wanyi to you?"

Before asking this question, to prevent someone from suddenly attacking, Lin Yi also opened up the skills interface, ready to [Summon Sword Spirit] anytime.

Sure enough, when Lin Yi mentioned this name:

"Boom~"

The dining table before Lin Yi suddenly exploded without any warning, food and drinks scattered everywhere.

Just as Lin Yi was about to ask Katrina for rescue, he noticed that Ling Yudao's gaze lacked any killing intent.

This glance made Lin Yi forcibly restrain the impulse to summon Katrina.

Ling Yudao reached out to take the suspended jade hairpin, coldly staring at Lin Yi sitting in the chair without moving a muscle, and then said:

"Where did you hear this name?"

"Don't try to deceive me."

Ling Yudao suddenly emitted a chilling aura, staring at Lin Yi:

"You should understand."

"Lying in front of a Divine King is a very foolish act."

But what surprised Ling Yudao immensely.

Lin Yi was not intimidated by the momentum emanating from Ling Yudao at this moment; instead, he looked at Ling Yudao with a tranquil expression:

"Grand Pavilion Master, perhaps there's something you haven't figured out until now."

Under Ling Yudao's surprised gaze, Lin Yi casually patted the clothes slightly stained in water and said:

"It is you who needs me now, not the other way around."

Lin Yi also looked intensely at Ling Yudao, speaking word by word:

"I hope this is the last time."

"Otherwise, you will never know where that woman Long Wanyi has gone."

"Boom~"

Ling Yudao suddenly stood up, a powerful aura burst upwards.

But no one outside seemed to be aware of the great commotion inside, presumably some tricks had been done by Ling Yudao.

Ling Yudao glared maliciously at Lin Yi:

"Don't think I don't know."

"The Divine Venerable behind you hasn't appeared within the Imperial Capital's range."

"Aren't you afraid I might just kill you here and now?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi didn't even bother to get up. He just shrugged noncommittally and gestured for Ling Yudao to go ahead:

"You can try."

Ling Yudao glared at Lin Yi:

"You think I won't dare?"

Suddenly:

With a "clang~" sound,

A flash of cold light suddenly appeared before Lin Yi's eyes.

By the time Lin Yi realized it, a great sword was already pointed at his forehead.

At the other end of the great sword was Ling Yudao gripping the hilt with one hand.

At this moment, if Ling Yudao gently pushed the sword forward,

this great sword would pierce through Lin Yi's head effortlessly, splattering his blood on the spot.

Lin Yi was shocked, as expected of a Tier Nine Divine King!

If he had wanted to kill him just then, Lin Yi probably would already be dead.

Although Lin Yi's current strength could easily kill opponents above his level, facing someone at the Divine Domain level, there was still a stark difference.

But shocked as he was,

Lin Yi had been certain from the beginning that this guy was just bluffing.

Even before Lin Yi could speak, sure enough, Ling Yudao had already sheathed his sword, his imposing aura retreating like a tide.

In just a moment,

Ling Yudao returned to his normal demeanor, sitting back calmly in his chair, ready to answer Lin Yi's earlier question:

"Long Wanyi is my lover, and also Ling Yuwei's mother."

The drastic change in Ling Yudao's attitude left Lin Yi puzzled:

"What's the Grand Pavilion Master playing at now?"

"What's in the past is in the past, don't dwell on it,"

Ling Yudao said indifferently:

"If your next answer satisfies me, I will give you a great gift in return."

He added,

"Trust me, it's a gift that no one in this world could refuse."

"Oh?"

Lin Yi responded expectantly:

"Then I'll be waiting."

Looking at the now-normal Ling Yudao, Lin Yi recalled Ling Yudao's answer:

"She's your lover?"

This outcome was somewhat expected for Lin Yi, but also a bit unexpected.

A woman likely from the Rafam Continent appeared on the Nine Nether Continent, got married, and had a family here...

However, she soon mysteriously disappeared, leaving this jade hairpin behind.

Lin Yi couldn't help but think of another question:

"When did she disappear? Or when did you discover she was gone?"

"A year and a half ago."

This time, Ling Yudao was very cooperative:

Her departure was like she had evaporated into thin air, even with the entire reconnaissance power of Linlang Pavilion, not a single useful clue could be found."

Then Ling Yudao looked at the jade hairpin in his hand:

"Before she disappeared, she said,

'If someday she were 'no longer here,' whoever could unlock the secret of this jade hairpin would find her whereabouts.'

"For over a year, no matter what method I used, I couldn't unlock the secret of this jade hairpin, until you appeared..."

Listening quietly to Ling Yudao, Lin Yi murmured to himself:

"A year and a half ago!"

In that moment, Lin Yi felt an extremely strong sense.

He seemed to feel that:

As if someone had already known he would come here and see this jade hairpin.

Everything had been arranged long ago.

Especially when Ling Yudao mentioned the time the owner of the hairpin disappeared, it coincided almost exactly with the time "Glory of the Gods" went live, which was also a year and a half ago.

If all truths are as he speculated, then could the phrase 'calamity' in the jade hairpin's message refer to the Demon Race's invasion?

However, another doubt soon emerged in Lin Yi's mind:

Where is "Hidden Dragon Abyss" located on Pilgrimage Peak? Why had he never heard of it before?

And who is this Long Keying?

At least so far,

Lin Yi had never heard of anyone or any race with the surname 'Long' on the Rafam Continent.

Ling Yudao, seeing Lin Yi deep in thought, asked:

"Can you now tell me the secret of this jade hairpin?"

Lin Yi replied:

"It's not called a 'jade hairpin,' but a 'Hidden Dragon Jade Hairpin'!"
