Chapter 1687 - 1683: Return to Beijiang (Fourth Update)
Chapter 1687: Chapter 1683: Return to Beijiang (Fourth Update)
At this moment, Yu Ran had completely shed her former naivety, becoming mature and capable.
Moreover, as her gaze moved, sword intent flowed, clearly showing her remarkable sword dao cultivation level.
Usually, when her brother Yu Ming was not around, she was the one managing everything at home.
Thus, in Lingnan, she had earned the title of "Little Sword Immortal."
However, the puzzling thing was that although she was already at the age of discussing marriage, she never showed any interest in men.
Many young talents admired her cultivation and appearance, pursuing her relentlessly, but all ended in failure.
Over time, rumors began to spread in the town that she didn’t like men!
Of course, only her brother Yu Ming and a few others knew the real reason.
Yu Ran certainly didn’t dislike men, but the person she liked was someone entirely untouchable!
So when Yu Ming heard these rumors, he could only sigh quietly, unable to make any changes.
Consequently, Yu Ran had become a figure both respected and feared within the Yu Family.
This moment was proof.
The Yu Family swordsmen spread out, firmly sealing the surrounding area.
Then Yu Ran stepped forward, her gaze like a sword as she surveyed her surroundings, inspecting for any abnormalities.
The area was silent save for the whistling of the fierce wind.
Just then, Yu Ran suddenly raised her eyebrows, softly uttering a light sound.
For she could sense that the surrounding spiritual energy was extremely depleted and the energy was very chaotic.
It seemed as though someone had used great divine skills to scoop out all nature’s spiritual energy within a radius of Baili, leaving an enormous void.
This was the reason for the recent intense fluctuations in the atmosphere.
But the question was, who could possess such divine skills to achieve this?
Yu Ran’s expression turned icy cold, striving to perceive any anomalies amidst the chaotic energy.
Suddenly!
Her eyes lit up abruptly.
This trace of aura... Why does it feel so familiar?
No! Impossible!
It cannot be him!
He isn’t presently on Earth, how could his aura appear here!
Yu Ran’s body trembled slightly, her face showing excitement while her heart fiercely denied.
And as she prepared to sense once more, that faint trace of aura had already disappeared.
The chaotic energy was gradually recovering.
Yu Ran stood still for a long time, finally lowering her eyes, murmuring softly, "He’s already gone!"
Having said that, she said no word to anyone, turning and leaving directly.
Leaving behind the bewildered Yu Family swordsmen, confused amidst the wind.
What happened to the young mistress?
Why did she suddenly appear so agitated, and then depart without a word?
Yet, regardless, this turmoil concluded just like that.
Meanwhile, Xue An was traversing the borders of China.
At present, Xue An had, due to a breath intake, restored most of his strength depleted during the journey, with only a few remaining days needed for full recovery.
In fact, with his current power, he could probably fly out of Earth in a mere flick.
But he wasn’t in a hurry, instead, he walked steadily in the high sky.
Finally, he arrived above a bustling city.
Upon seeing the lights below, a slight smile appeared at the corner of Xue An’s mouth.
"Interesting, unexpectedly, I’ve come to my old home!"
Indeed!
The city beneath Xue An’s feet was Beijiang.
And his journey was to seek out that aura.
So upon seeing Beijiang below, he didn’t even return to Number One Tian Villa but descended directly, stepping into the bustling city.
Upon this return, Xue An had been away for three years.
In these three years, Earth had changed greatly, and Beijiang had changed even more.
There were new high-rise buildings everywhere, clearly an economic boom.
Walking on the streets, those with cultivation levels could be seen everywhere.
Real Humans were standard, Xiaoyao Realm was nothing special, Heavenly Beings were everywhere, and Loose Immortals wandered the streets.
Even a sanitation worker on the streets had notable cultivation.
Such scenes had become commonplace.
No one found it surprising.
Xue An walked among them, aside from causing some sidelong glances due to his ethereal demeanor and handsome appearance, few paid him any special attention.
No one knew he was the one who created the current flourishing scene.
Xue An didn’t mind, for this was precisely what he consciously pursued, otherwise he would have revealed his presence sooner.
However, some things on the street did catch Xue An’s eye.
For instance, the images on the electronic screens of the high-rise buildings on the street.
In the images were Tang Xuan’er, An Qing, and others in battle.
Though just candid shots, the photographer’s skill was evident, capturing Tang Xuan’er and An Qing’s elegance vividly.
Moreover, the streets were filled with sounds of excited discussions.
"Last night, Goddess Tang single-handedly defeated three Demon Ghosts, the battle scene was electrifying! Truly worthy of being my goddess!"
"Absolutely, absolutely, I think so too, so today I spent money to buy a ranking for Goddess Tang, our Goddess Tang must have prestige!"
"Haha, you just found out! I’ve long joined Goddess Tang’s support group!"
On the other side, people were eagerly discussing An Qing’s exploits.
"General An turning into the Insect Tribe queen was incredibly cool, especially her line, ’I am the Insect Tribe,’ just thinking about it gets me excited!"
"Ah, I haven’t been able to sign up, truly wonder when I can join the extraterrestrial blockade battle to witness the lords’ combat firsthand!"
Such conversations were abundant, with most discussing individuals being fans of various strong figures.
However, not all discussions were as amiable; a group was heatedly debating together.
"I think Goddess Tang is still the coolest! Her strength is absolutely top-notch, and she’s so beautiful!"
"Isn’t General An beautiful, too? And it’s not that Goddess Tang isn’t cool, just compared to General An’s Insect Tribe power, she’s still a bit lacking!"
"I think Jingjing Goddess is also great!"
"Ru Lan Girl is powerful!"
Among these voices, someone suddenly said solemnly, "I think Lord Xue An is still the most powerful! After all, all of them were taught by him!"
This statement left everyone silent, only after a long pause did someone softly say, "But when will this lord return? And upon returning, can he truly surpass these lords? After all... now on Earth the lords’ power is advancing by leaps and bounds!"
Someone wanted to refute this but suddenly found themselves unsure how to start.
Just then, Xue An suddenly patted the person speaking.
This person was startled, turning to look, "What’s up?"
Xue An smiled slightly, "Nothing, just thought what you said made a lot of sense!"
After saying that, Xue An turned away with a faint smile.
The person, somewhat bewildered, watched Xue An’s back, suddenly feeling a bit puzzled.
This person’s back... Why does it look so familiar?
