Ye Yu's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this.
"Chu She isn't dead, is he? Then where is he?"
Tong Yaoguang slowly rose to his feet, took a pill from his Storage Ring, and swallowed it. Color gradually returned to his pale face.
"That's right. Chu She isn't dead, but I don't know where he is now."
Ye Yu's expression immediately turned strange. He softly asked, "You don't know? Weren't you together before?"
Tong Yaoguang let out a deep sigh and slowly recounted what had happened.
After leaving Tranquil Heart Retreat, Tong Yaoguang had gone to find Chu She.
The two met in the Taizhen Mountain Range.
Chu She was delighted to see Tong Yaoguang and asked why he had suddenly changed his mind.
Tong Yaoguang then told him about meeting Ye Yu.
After hearing the story, Chu She's expression became very strange.
He immediately said that Ye Yu was an extremely unusual person.
Despite possessing only Great God Realm cultivation, he seemed able to see through everything and even knew many things he should not have known.
As for calling them friends, that was probably going too far. After all, they had only met once.
Hearing Chu She say this, Tong Yaoguang also found it deeply puzzling.
It was inherently abnormal for someone he had met only once to show such enthusiasm in helping him.
However, this clearly was not the time to dwell on such matters.
The priority was figuring out how to deal with Xiao Luo.
As for the doubts in his heart, he could always seek out Ye Yu and demand a proper explanation after the battle was over.
Once the two had made their decision, they immediately rushed to the agreed location.
When Xiao Luo saw Chu She and Tong Yaoguang arrive together, he did not appear particularly surprised.
He merely said indifferently, "Since you brought another person along to die, I'll grant your wish."
Who was Tong Yaoguang?
He was the renowned Fiery Scholar!
As the saying went, a name might be given wrongly, but a nickname never was.
The moment Tong Yaoguang heard Xiao Luo's words, he prepared to show him what he was capable of.
Chu She, however, stopped him before he could act.
He planned to face Xiao Luo alone first. If he could no longer hold out, Tong Yaoguang could step in to help.
Tong Yaoguang did not object.
The battle between Chu She and Xiao Luo erupted on the spot.
The disparity in their strength quickly became apparent.
Chu She was no match for Xiao Luo. Seeing this, Tong Yaoguang immediately joined the fight.
Although he had yet to enter the Divine Sovereign Realm, his exquisitely refined saber techniques caused Xiao Luo considerable trouble.
That gave Chu She a chance to catch his breath.
By coordinating with each other, the two forcibly fought Xiao Luo to a standstill.
The three of them battled for more than a month.
In the end, however, they were still defeated by Xiao Luo.
When Tong Yaoguang saw that Chu She had been severely injured, he immediately supported him and fled.
Xiao Luo pursued them relentlessly from behind.
Naturally, the two of them supporting each other could not move as swiftly as Xiao Luo alone.
To keep his good brother from dying there, Tong Yaoguang used a divine art to teleport Chu She away. He then used a Puppet Talisman to create an imitation of Chu She.
Pretending to support the puppet, he continued drawing Xiao Luo's attention.
The pursuit went on for several days.
In the end, Xiao Luo still caught up with Tong Yaoguang.
When he realized that the Chu She before him was not the real person, Xiao Luo flew into a rage.
He severely injured Tong Yaoguang with a single strike, then turned around to search for Chu She.
Tong Yaoguang wanted to stop him, but his injuries were too severe, and he lost consciousness on the spot.
Perhaps his divine body was exceptionally powerful, or perhaps he simply was not destined to die.
In the end, Tong Yaoguang survived long enough for Ye Yu to find him.
After hearing the entire account, Ye Yu nodded in strong agreement.
"That's right. That Xiao Luo really is absurdly powerful."
Tong Yaoguang looked intently at Ye Yu and asked softly, "So who exactly are you?"
"I'm Ye Yu. This isn't the first time you've seen me, so why are you asking?"
Ye Yu's answer clearly did not satisfy Tong Yaoguang.
"I'm asking about your true identity. When we met at Tranquil Heart Retreat, you were only in the Great God Realm. Now, you have already successfully entered the Ancient God Realm.
"Less than two months have passed.
"You crossed two entire major realms. Even if you cultivated while riding a flying sword, you couldn't possibly advance that quickly.
"Also, from the way you spoke just now, you have clearly witnessed Xiao Luo's strength with your own eyes. Otherwise, you could not have reacted that way.
"That is why I'm asking. Please give me a proper answer."
Ye Yu's expression grew solemn when he heard this.
Damn. It seemed like I said too much earlier. There are too many things I can't explain away now.
Using the parallel-world explanation wouldn't be appropriate either.
After all, he isn't my Dao companion. If he gets too curious and brings Chu She along to slice me apart for research, I'd suffer a terrible loss!
After considering the matter again and again, Ye Yu said softly, "The time isn't right yet. There are some things I'll tell you both in the future. Besides, think carefully. I've never harmed either of you, have I?
"If not for my warning, Chu She might already be dead."
Sometimes, it was not that Ye Yu did not want to tell the truth. The truth was simply too complicated to explain.
It would be much easier to make Tong Yaoguang an empty promise for now.
In any case, once the dream ended, Tong Yaoguang would not retain any of these memories.
So naturally, Ye Yu would choose whichever approach saved him the most trouble.
Tong Yaoguang considered his words for a moment. Since Ye Yu's reasoning did make sense, he did not continue pressing the matter.
Ye Yu seized the opportunity to explain what he wanted.
"Do you have any way to find Chu She? I have something I can't understand, and I'd like to ask his opinion. Here, it's this."
As he spoke, Ye Yu took out the wooden beast-head token.
This was also a test to see whether Tong Yaoguang knew where the object had come from.
Tong Yaoguang accepted the wooden token and examined it carefully.
One side bore the head of a ferocious beast from the God Realm, while the other depicted a mysterious expanse of chaos.
Before long, Tong Yaoguang's expression became very strange.
He then asked softly, "Where did you get this?"
The moment Ye Yu heard that, he knew there was hope.
He replied, "I happened to obtain it from someone else some time ago, but I had no idea what it was. That's why I wanted Chu She to take a look at it. Since you're asking that, do you know what it is?"
Tong Yaoguang nodded. He raised the wooden token in one hand and said solemnly, "This is a Supreme God Token. A long time ago, it belonged to Chu She. I once saw it in his possession.
"He also explained its purpose to me."
The corners of Ye Yu's mouth twitched twice.
Well, then. Had he just found the original owner?
