Chapter 1940: Immortal Astral, tenth sun — There is a Tiger on the Mountain!

Xu Ligou's body trembled. He stared blankly at Wang Lin. In his mind, scenes emerged, causing tears to fall from his eyes.

He remembered Wang Lin, remembered being refined into a Devil Head by him.

He remembered those thousands of years of following him, remembered everything about himself, and the words of that Evil Star Master.

His memories fully awakened only after the moment of his Reincarnation before leaving the Immortal Cave Realm emerged.

"Mas… Master!!" Xu Ligou's body shuddered. He opened his eyes wide, revealing a look of pleasant surprise. He quickly took a few steps, passing by the Madman, and at Wang Lin's side, he shoved aside Liu Jinbiao, who was looking at him smugly and seemed ready to greet him.

After forcefully pushing the stunned Liu Jinbiao back a few steps, Xu Ligou stood in Liu Jinbiao's previous position, the surprise on his face transforming into habitual flattery.

"Master, Little Xu has finally seen you. How many years has it been? Every night, Little Xu meets Master in his dreams. I miss you every moment and wish I could reunite with Master immediately.

Master, Little Xu's loyalty to you will not change with the passage of time, nor will it change in the slightest between past lives and this life. You are my Master; you were in my past life, you are in this life, you will be in the next, and the next, and the next, and the next, you will always be!!"

"Master, please don't abandon me. Let me follow you. Even if it means climbing a mountain of blades or descending into a sea of fire, I, Xu Ligou, will never frown!"

"Master, although I met you late, I have followed you the longest. Some people may be lucky and were found by Master earlier, but how can anyone compare to my loyalty to Master! Master, I have finally found you!!" As Xu Ligou spoke, he squeezed his eyes hard and, to the astonishment of Liu Jinbiao nearby, managed to shed a few tears of apparent excitement.

While excitedly roaring to express his inner joy, Xu Ligou did not forget to glare fiercely at Liu Jinbiao, as if telling Liu Jinbiao that he, Xu Ligou, was the number one person by Master's side!!

"Hmph, no one understands this Evil Star better than me. When your Grandpa Xu was following this Evil Star, you little Jinbiao, you didn't even know where you were conning people. You dare to compete with me for favor? Damn it, that smug expression on Liu Jinbiao's face just now must mean he thinks he can surpass me!!"

"Hmph, it seems I need to educate him more to let him know that his Grandpa Xu is not to be trifled with!!"

Upon being glared at by Xu Ligou, Liu Jinbiao immediately shuddered. Xu Ligou's lingering prestige cast a huge shadow over him. He hesitated for a moment and was about to speak when suddenly, a roar came from beside him!!

He saw that the Sea Dragon, which had shrunk to the thickness of a finger and was originally lying on Liu Jinbiao's shoulder, suddenly raised its head upon hearing the name Xu Ligou, glared fiercely at Xu Ligou, and began to roar.

Its roar startled Xu Ligou, leaving him stunned for a moment.

Looking at Liu Jinbiao again, his expression immediately became smug once more. If Wang Lin were not here, he would surely have burst into wild laughter.

"Haha, fortunately, I was prepared in advance. With this Sea Dragon here, let's see how you can act arrogant, Xu Ligou!!" Liu Jinbiao looked smug, raising his right hand to stroke the Sea Dragon's back, his eyes provocatively glancing at Xu Ligou.

Wang Lin ignored the sparks flying between the two men's gazes and instead looked at the Madman, who was standing there stunned by Xu Ligou's words.

At this moment, the Madman had long forgotten about finding trouble with Wang Lin and was instead looking at Xu Ligou, appearing as if he were about to cry.

"Little Red… Little Red, you… what did you just say? Am I not your Master? How did he become your Master? Am I your Master, or is he your Master? Who exactly is your Master…" The Madman was very anxious, stepping forward to grab hold of Xu Ligou.

Only then did Xu Ligou remember that such a person was still following him. He turned his head to look at the Madman. With the restoration of his memories, his gaze toward the Madman immediately became different, faintly revealing the same expression as when he and Liu Jinbiao had conspired to trick others for blood back in the Immortal Cave Realm.

"Let go! Your Grandpa Xu only has one Master, and that is this Evil… this Master with such overflowing Evil Qi, this wise and martial Master!!" Saying this, he quickly glanced at Wang Lin, sweating inwardly as he thought to himself that having been away from this Evil Star for so many years, he had almost made a slip of the tongue.

"Get away from me! Don't pester your Grandpa Xu!!" Xu Ligou hurriedly broke free, stepped back a few paces, and stood tall with his chest out to demonstrate his loyalty.

The Madman looked miserable, his eyes immediately turning red, and he suddenly roared at Wang Lin.

"It's you! You hurt Little Flower's grandfather and stole my Little Red. My Little Red, Little Red, Little Red…" The Madman stepped forward, intending to choke Wang Lin.

Wang Lin looked at the noisy Madman before him with complicated emotions and let out a soft sigh.

"Madman… I came to this Ancestral City just to see you… If you cannot remember me, then just treat the past events in the Immortal Cave Realm as a dream. Madman… I am leaving." Wang Lin closed his eyes, allowing the Madman to choke him. After a long while, a gentle force radiated from his body, pushing the Madman back several yards.

Wang Lin opened his eyes, turned, and walked toward the plains outside the city!

Xu Ligou and Liu Jinbiao hurriedly followed behind, completely ignoring the Madman. As they followed, they stared fiercely at each other. However, compared to Liu Jinbiao's smugness, Xu Ligou was quite furious because the Sea Dragon on Liu Jinbiao's shoulder was also glaring fiercely at him.

"Damn it, this isn't right. Your Grandpa Xu only has one pair of eyes, but this damn Liu Jinbiao and that ugly snake have two pairs of eyes in total… I should think of a way… otherwise my status won't be secure in the future." Xu Ligou muttered to himself.

As the three of them moved away, the Madman stood outside the city gate, watching their receding figures, muttering continuously.

"Little Red… Little Red… why did you just leave like that… Damn guy, he dared to steal this King's Little Red. I want to tell my brother, no, I want to tell my Master!!"

"Hmph, my Master is super powerful, he… he…" The Madman suddenly paused, looking up abruptly into the distance, gazing at the white-clothed figure moving away.

"Wang Lin… Wang Lin…" The Madman's body trembled. It seemed as if some kind of Seal in his mind showed signs of loosening; he seemed about to remember something.

"Immortal Cave Realm, Wang Lin… Void… Awakening…" The Madman's body trembled even more violently. His mind roared, and he saw a scene.

In that scene, he had saved the person before him and had been immersed in a dream together with him. In the dream, he had always been searching for the trace of a palm print on his own arm!!

Subconsciously raising his arm, the Madman looked down and saw, on his arm, within the previously empty skin, a palm print trace slowly appearing.

This palm print looked as if someone had once gripped his arm and had not let go for a very long time.

Without consciousness, tears flowed from his eyes. The tears fell down his cheeks and dripped onto the snow on the ground. He faintly remembered!!

He remembered that he had encountered a corpse in the Immortal Cave Realm, and it was he who had used his blood to revive that corpse…

He remembered that this corpse was named Wang Lin, and after being revived, he had been very good to him…

He remembered those scenes of the Dream Dao…

He even remembered that after he had awakened once more, he saw his brother. After that, everything became a blur; his memories seemed to have been Sealed, and it seemed that during this process, his brother had cast some kind of Divine Ability on him!!

He could only faintly remember that in his blurred memories, there was a ruthless gaze emanating from his brother's eyes. That gaze made him afraid, made him terrified, and made him think of seeking Wang Lin's help.

He remembered!!

"Wang Lin… Wang Lin… Wang Lin！！！！ Master!!" In his trembling, the Madman shouted loudly.

This voice echoed throughout the heavens and earth, causing Wang Lin in the distance to tremble. The meaning contained within that cry of "Master" and "Wang Lin" made Wang Lin's mind roar, and he turned around abruptly.

The moment he turned, his pupils suddenly contracted. He saw a golden Vortex suddenly appear behind the Madman outside the city gate, and from within that Vortex, a person stepped out!!

This person wore an imperial robe and an imperial crown; it was the Immortal Emperor. After appearing, his eyes were gentle, and he raised his right hand, placing it on the Madman's shoulder.

As this hand landed, the Madman's eyes immediately became dazed, and the palm print on his arm vanished without a trace.

"Wang Lin, you wish to leave; I will not see you off. Dao Fei's memories seem to have recovered somewhat; I am going to take him to the Immortal Ancestor's place of seclusion beneath the Imperial Palace. Perhaps he can fully recover there." The Immortal Emperor looked at Wang Lin with a smile, his figure flickering as he took the dazed Madman and stepped back into the golden Vortex behind him, disappearing without a trace.

The wind and snow continued. Everything seemed like an illusion, as if it did not exist. Wang Lin stood in the distance, having witnessed everything just now. After a moment of silence, his eyes revealed a monstrous brilliance!!

"The Immortal Ancestor's place of seclusion again!! His words even revealed that this Immortal Ancestor's place of seclusion is beneath the Imperial Palace!! By doing this, he is clearly trying to make me go!!" Wang Lin's expression was gloomy as he stared at the Ancestral City.

"The Madman's cry just now was clearly his memories awakening… All of this is perhaps the Immortal Emperor's scheme. He used the Madman as bait, forcing me not to leave, forcing me to go to this underground palace!!"

"First came the conferment and rewards. After I chose not to go to the underground palace, there was the assassination on the long street. If one connects this with the long street kill formation, the Immortal Emperor must have participated in it, wanting to use this kill formation to capture me. But after the kill formation failed, and because of my slaughter, I fought with Jiu Di…"

"Therefore, he did not want to make a move personally, so he devised another plan to lead me to that underground palace using the Madman!!"

"The Immortal Ancestor's place of seclusion, the underground palace… What secrets exist within? Why does this Immortal Emperor want me to go there again and again!! Should I go there, or not!!" In his silence, Wang Lin looked up abruptly, his eyes revealing determination!!

Some things, even if one knows they are dangerous, some people must still go through with them!!

Wang Lin took a deep breath. With a wave of his right hand, he put Xu Ligou, Liu Jinbiao, and the Sea Dragon into his Storage Space. Alone, in a flash, he returned to the Ancestral City in the morning wind and snow. This time, his target was the underground palace!!
