Chapter 406: Do We Know Each Other?
The entire tree shook wildly there, as if it were expressing its gratitude to Ye Ling.
Ye Ling gave a faint smile, his gaze shifting towards the mountain peak.
At the peak, a palace stood loftily at the summit, emitting a faint yellow glow.
In that faint yellow light, something pale could be vaguely seen, resembling a sculpture crafted from jade, giving off an elegant and ethereal feeling.
Ye Ling slowly stepped forward, lightly tipping his toes, his figure soaring into the air, and in the blink of an eye, he had already reached the top of the mountain.
The mountaintop was not as magnificent as Ye Ling had imagined, one might even say it was rather simple.
There was only a dragon turtle bound by ropes, and a pagoda emitting the lustrous glow of colored glaze!
The glazed pagoda was oval-shaped, looking quite exquisite, radiating a mysterious and sacred aura.
It gave one the illusion of sacrilege, as if a deity resided within.
Just then, the Jade Pendant on Ye Ling's chest suddenly vibrated.
Immediately afterward, the Jade Pendant actually flew into midair, spinning towards the glazed pagoda.
The moment the Jade Pendant approached the front of the pagoda, the pagoda trembled slightly, emitting a crisp and pleasant sound, just like pearls dropping onto a jade plate.
"This must be the place! The place indicated by the Jade Pendant, it's this pagoda!"
Thinking this, Ye Ling's breathing could not help but quicken a bit, his eyes filled with reverence as he looked at the glazed pagoda — it was left to him by his master!
"I say, boy, are you ignoring my presence?"
At that moment, the dragon turtle that was bound by ropes suddenly opened its eyes and asked with a grin.
"Who are you? Do we know each other?"
Ye Ling frowned and asked in confusion.
The dragon turtle did not answer Ye Ling's question but instead its pupils flashed with a contemplative look, and after a long while, it slowly closed its eyes.
"It's been a long time since anyone from the outside has come to Spirit Immortal Island, decades since the last person came, and no one else has appeared here since!"
"Hold on, Elder Dragon Turtle, I have something to say!"
Ye Ling mustered all his strength, almost as if roaring the words from his throat.
The terrifying Dragon Turtle stopped in its steps, its bell-like eyes staring fixedly at Ye Ling, their piercing gaze making one's heart tremble!
"Speak!" the Dragon Turtle's voice boomed, sounding like a great bell, echoing through the heavens.
Only then did Ye Ling feel a slight reduction in the pressure, he took a deep breath and slowly said, "Elder Dragon Turtle, since my master has trapped you here, I must have a way to help you escape, otherwise, you would have broken out long ago."
The Dragon Turtle's expression changed subtly, a flash of astonishment crossing his eyes, but soon returned to normal: "Are you saying you want to help me escape?"
"Yes!"
Ye Ling nodded emphatically: "Is there some dispute between you and my master, otherwise, he wouldn't have trapped you here! My master is definitely not a despicable person!"
"Hahaha, what a huge joke! He's not despicable? Boy, do you think I would believe what you say? Don't be naive, I have long seen through that old thing, he is definitely more cunning than a fox!"
The Dragon Turtle's voice was filled with endless rage: "What kind of suffering have I not endured over all these years?"
"I've had enough of being blasted by the wind and sun every day! Boy, if you have any last words, say them quickly."
"But, I can't guarantee that I'll be able to fulfill them!"
Ye Ling took a deep breath, bearing the immense pressure, and stared straight at the Dragon Turtle: "Elder, what if I could really get you out?"
Upon hearing this, the Dragon Turtle suddenly lifted its head, its huge bell-like eyes shimmering with an extraordinary luster.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and after a brief moment, a mocking curve appeared on his lips: "Boy, are you playing with me?"
Ye Ling shook his head, saying each word deliberately: "Elder, please believe every word I say, although I don't know why my master sealed you here, I'm sure he didn't intend to harm you!"
"Why are you so sure?" the Dragon Turtle squinted, staring intensely at Ye Ling, asking with a cold voice.
"Because..."
Ye Ling paused, slowly releasing two words: "Because I am his only direct disciple!"
The Dragon Turtle's eyelids twitched, its huge body trembling slightly.
