Lin Fanpeng spoke in a grave voice, "Sect Leader, the Mysterious Dragon Box not only holds this secret, but it is very likely to possess another ability that could assist you."
"What is it?" Dongfang Yu asked indifferently.
"Please forgive my impudence first, Sect Leader." Lin Fanpeng hastily proposed a condition.
If the other party became angry, they could crush him into dust within minutes.
"It is fine, go ahead and speak."
"I am aware that in another ten years, your life-and-death tribulation will occur."
Dongfang Yu’s pupils shrank, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
From the corner of his eyes, a sharp light exuded, piercing and captivating the soul.
At that moment, the pressure in the atmosphere dropped several degrees.
At this time, Lin Fanpeng felt he could hardly stand.
He collapsed to the ground with a thud, his body drenched in sweat, looking at Dongfang Yu in front of him with eyes full of fear.
After a long while, he regained his senses, quickly knelt on the ground, and earnestly said, "Please, Sect Leader, do not be angry. I am not using this to threaten you. Even if you are facing a life-and-death tribulation, I could do nothing to you..."
"Tell me, how did you know?" Dongfang Yu asked with a piercing gaze.
"It was the Elder Sect Leader who told me, and he instructed me to search for celestial treasures for you. However, you then disappeared, and I could no longer find you. But I have always kept this matter firmly in mind. Therefore, I have been searching for celestial treasures all these years, and those large wooden boxes I sent you are filled with what I’ve found over the years..." Lin Fanpeng explained, trembling.
After a long pause, Dongfang Yu finally retracted his imposing aura.
The person in front of him was a trusted aide of his father.
It was not too much for him to know about this matter.
However, he disliked people bringing up this issue.
So, he wanted to hear what else he had to say.
After all, he had been hidden from the world for a long time, and he was not very clear about many things that happened before.
Moreover, as Lin Fanpeng stated, in another ten years, he would face his life-and-death tribulation indeed.
Although he felt he had lived enough, if possible, he also hoped to continue living.
After all, society was becoming more and more interesting.
He had also found interesting people.
Thus, he did not wish to leave the world so soon.
If it were a time of war and chaos, death would be but a passage to the next reincarnation.
But now, in this era of peace and prosperity, he actually wanted to live a few more years.
And there was also an interesting little girl.
He was very curious about what other secrets she might have that he did not know.
Seeing that Dongfang Yu’s expression had softened and the oppressive atmosphere around them had gradually dissipated, Lin Fanpeng wiped the sweat from his forehead; he had not anticipated Dongfang Yu to be even more formidable than he had imagined.
He felt more confident about the future.
According to the divination, he still had twenty years left to live.
That was enough time; in twenty years one could accomplish much.
Moreover, if he could find another item of the Gu Family and it truly was as the legends said, maybe he could live even longer.
Thus, he began to speak, "It is said that the Mysterious Dragon Box of the Gu Family contains a secret regarding the Cycle of Life and Death."
"The secret of the Cycle of Life and Death?" Dongfang Yu frowned, "Who told you that?"
"Of course, it was someone from the Gu Family. This person is very reliable, and the information is one hundred percent accurate."
"Then who currently possesses the Mysterious Dragon Box?" Dongfang Yu asked with considerable interest.
