The Supreme Lord Donghuang

Chapter 279: Zhuge Haotian

“Sir, thank you for saving my life.”

Luo Qinghan thanked him gratefully. She had initially thought that she was definitely done for. But she did not expect the white-robed youth before her to appear like a savior of the world in her moment of greatest despair, and save her.

Of course, at this moment, there was slight disappointment in the depths of her heart.

In the beginning, when she saw him appear with a familiar build, she thought for a time that he was Zhou Donghuang.

It was only when he showed his Dharma Power that she was sure he was not Zhou Donghuang, although his build was identical to Zhou Donghuang’s and his style of dress was also a white robe just like Zhou Donghuang’s.

Zhou Donghuang’s Dharma Power was a giant tiger, whereas the Dharma Power of the white-robed youth before her was a flying beast burning uniformly from head to toe.

The two of them had Dharma Powers that had absolutely nothing in common with each other.

Despite the fact that this white-robed youth had already refined his Dharma Power to its peak and could fully exhibit the legendary Dharma Power Control technique of morphing at one’s will... When the Dharma Power showed itself initially, it had to be a genuine Dharma Power. It could not possibly be a morphed Dharma Power the moment it appeared.

Therefore, she could completely eliminate the possibility that Zhou Donghuang had transformed his own Dharma Power into the appearance of a Flying Beast Dharma Power.

Unless Zhou Donghuang had condensed two types of Dharma Power in his body...

But was that possible?

Every Dharma Power was born out of the foundation of a Golden Essence. If someone had two types of Dharma Power, that also meant that he had previously condensed two Golden Essences.

A Primal Core adept with two Primal Cores?

Did such a person exist in this world?

“If the person who saved me today was him... I would probably be very touched. I think might even go so far as to disregard everything else and be willing to try going out with him?”

Luo Qinghan sighed internally.

It was a pity that it was not him.

Upon seeing the person who had appeared when she was on the brink of death, and in the moment she thought that he was Zhou Donghuang, she thought for a moment that her past persistence was laughable.

Of course, it was just for a moment.

After confirming that he was not Zhou Donghuang, Luo Qinghan’s heart, that had melted slightly earlier, froze once again.

“Hm.”

The white-robed youth wearing a devil mask nodded at Luo Qinghan. “Are you also an Alliance disciple in the Hengliu galaxy here to participate in the Alliance Hunt this time?”

“Yes.”

Luo Qinghan nodded her head in response. At the same time, she said internally to herself, “As expected.”

Sure enough, this white-robed youth, who had grasped the legendary Dharma Power Control, was not from the Hengliu galaxy. He was in all probability from a larger and more flourishing galaxy and had entered the Guiyao planet by mistake.

It seemed that the Hengliu galaxy had never had a Dharma adept who had grasped Dharma Power Control.

“You can say that we have affinity since I saved you today... I’ll help you from now on.”

The voice of the white-robed youth remained low and hoarse.

“I’m already unable to repay you for saving my life. How could I dare to trouble you further?”

Luo Qinghan gracefully turned him down.

“The fact that you and I could meet is also a sign of fate... On the basis of our affinity, I intend to see the matter through this time and persist until the end,” the white-robed youth insisted.

“I’m very grateful, Sir.”

Having sensed how resolutely determined he was, Luo Qinghan also realized that it would be pointless for her to refuse him again. While thanking him profusely, she asked, “My name is Luo Qinghan, but how should I address you?”

“Zhuge Haotian,” the white-robed youth said.

“So you’re Sir Zhuge.”

Luo Qinghan bowed slightly with her hands held in front, by way of salutation.

Of course, the white-robed youth who called himself ‘Zhuge Haotian’ was actually Zhou Donghuang.

Zhou Donghuang had arrived a long time ago. He had hidden himself in the shadows and watched the situation unfold. It was only after he saw Mo Yitian attack Luo Qinghan and saw the two Tiansong Sect disciples arrive, that he appeared to intervene.

Of course, he had specifically worn a devil mask when he showed himself.

As for the robe he was wearing, he had not deliberately changed it as he would always change into a white robe every few days. He had more than a thousand pieces of white clothing inside his space ring, each with a different design.

His mother Lin Lan had prepared all of these things for him before he left Ziyun.

Since entering the Guiyao planet this time, he had already worn at least ten suits of white clothing.

As for the devil mask, there were two reasons he had worn it.

One of the reasons was to avoid implicating Luo Qinghan.

In the event he appeared as himself and killed Mo Yitian and the other people from the Tiansong Sect, no one would know that he had killed Mo Yitian and the others. However, those Tiansong Sect disciples who had left before that knew about Mo Yitian’s unpleasant encounter with Luo Qinghan and his intention to attack her.

It would be very difficult for him to kill all of those Tiansong Sect disciples.

Furthermore, if any of them got away, they would definitely report to the Tiansong Sect Leader after getting out. They would inform him of Mo Yitian’s previous encounter with Luo Qinghan. On top of that, the fact that Luo Qinghan was completely unscathed would definitely bring her trouble.

So, he had chosen to show himself as a stranger. He had also deliberately let two Tiansong Sect disciples go with the intention that they would notify the Sect Leader after the conclusion of the Alliance Hunt.

As for the situation now, the two of them were completely powerless at the moment even if they wanted to notify the Sect Leader.

This was because before the Alliance Hunt ended, the formation that covered the Guiyao planet would restrain the Alliance disciples inside from leaving. This was also to prevent the Alliance disciples from giving up halfway. At the same time, it cut off any communication between the Alliance disciples and the outside world.

Since the purpose of the Alliance Hunt was to train the Alliance disciples from various sects, of course it had to simulate an absolute danger zone.

The other reason Zhou Donghuang had worn the devil mask was to help Luo Qinghan and to go so far as to impart high-level techniques to Luo Qinghan... Given Luo Qinghan’s temperament, he truly did not know how to persuade her and had no choice but to use this method.

She was not willing to accept the techniques given to her by Zhou Donghuang, but that did not mean that the was not willing to accept the techniques given to her by Zhuge Haotian.

As regards the name “Zhuge Haotian,” Zhou Donghuang had come up with it using the names of his biological parents... The name of his biological father was ‘Zhou Haotian’ while the name of his biological mother was “Zhuge Jing.”

With Zhou Donghuang, who had assumed the name Zhuge Haotian, by her side to assist her, things also became much easier for Luo Qinghan thereafter. Every single beast they met on the way was easily killed.

“Sir Zhuge, I only want the heads of beasts at the early Dharma Stage and mid Dharma Stage... As for the corpses of other beasts, you can keep them for yourself,” Luo Qinghan said.

However, Zhou Donghuang only kept the corpses of ultimate Dharma beasts. He could not be bothered to keep the corpses of the remaining beasts. Under such circumstances, Luo Qinghan had no choice but to store them away reluctantly.

Of course, she knew that even if she stored the corpses of late Dharma beasts, she had no way of using them to accumulate points.

Because she did not have the ability to defeat late Dharma beasts.

On the other hand, she could defeat and kill mid Dharma beasts albeit with difficulty.

“The resemblance is too strong.”

Throughout their journey, Luo Qinghan realized that the physical build of the white-robed youth in front of her looked way too similar to that man’s build. It was to the extent that she frequently had the misperception that he was none other than that man.

However, each time she saw the Flying Beast Dharma Power that he displayed, she was jolted awake from a dream: He was not that man.

His name was Zhuge Haotian, not Zhou Donghuang.

Over the course of the entire month, without knowing Zhou Donghuang’s true identity, she was constantly with him day and night. No matter how she consciously tried to control herself, when faced with such an outstanding and handsome young man, who also cared for her so meticulously, she could not help but feel a growing affection for him.

Of course, she buried this growing affection deep in her heart.

From beginning to end, she kept in mind that even if she, Luo Qinghan, wanted to look for a man, it could only be that man in this lifetime.

It was impossible for her to get together with any other man.

No matter how outstanding he was, even if he was more outstanding than that man, it would be the same.

“We will have to go our separate ways tomorrow.”

Zhou Donghuang looked at Luo Qinghan and sighed. His voice remained low and hoarse. “As for me, I also plan to leave the Guiyao planet after you guys leave. I may even leave this Hengliu galaxy.”

Although she had mentally prepared herself for this long ago, Luo Qinghan could not stop her heart from trembling slightly upon hearing Zhou Donghuang’s words. A hint of reluctance flashed in the depths of her eyes before vanishing.

“Will we... meet again?”

Luo Qinghan also sighed.

“Perhaps.”

Zhou Donghuang smiled. Following this, he shot out a space ring in an instant. “Before we part, I have a present for you... My only request is that you feed it a drop of your blood and become its owner after we part and examine the things inside.”

“Sir Zhuge, you’ve helped me way too much... I can’t accept this present no matter what.”

Luo Qinghan shook her head insistently.

Over the past month, the deeper her interactions with him, the clearer it became to her how frightening the youth before her was.

The time spent by the youth before her in giving her pointers was far less than ten percent of the time spent by her maternal grandmother in doing the same. But it was much more helpful to her than the pointers given by her maternal grandmother. It had a profound and long-lasting impact that made her feel somewhat enlightened.

She had already guessed that this Sir Zhuge in front of her probably had a very powerful background, to the point where he could even stand at the apex of the boundless universe.

“This present... may be an opportunity for us to meet in the future. Are you sure that you won’t accept it?”

Zhou Donghuang glanced meaningfully at Luo Qinghan. His deep gaze caused Luo Qinghan’s heart to tremble. She felt even more hesitant... Should she accept it or not?

If she did not accept it, she may never meet the person before her again.

If she accepted it, there was hope that they would meet again.

In the end, another white figure flashed across Luo Qinghan’s mind. His handsome face also flashed across her mind, causing her gaze to become incomparably resolute. “Sir Zhuge, I still can’t accept this.”

At this moment, Luo Qinghan had not noticed the hint of relief that appeared in the depths of the eyes of the white-robed youth before her who went by the name of Zhuge Haotian.

“Since you won’t accept it, I’ll let it fall to the earth and wait for its destined owner.”

Zhou Donghuang flicked his fingers and sent the space ring floating in front of Luo Qinghan. Immediately following this, his Flying Beast Dharma Power appeared again with a sway of his body. As if his entire body had transformed into a flying beast, he flapped his wings and flew off as fast as lightning. He vanished from Luo Qinghan’s sight in the blink of an eye.

There was a distracted look in Luo Qinghan’s eyes as she watched the space ring in front of her fall slowly as it lost the inner Yuan which it relied on. Then, she sighed and ultimately reached out her hand to receive the ring with reluctance on her face.

“I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you... If I see you in the future, I will keep you at arm’s length too. Someone else has already left his mark on my body for the rest of my life.

“I will either get together with him... or end up all alone.”
