Chapter 2020 - 2021: Transcending Worldly Concerns (2nd Update)
Chapter 2020: Chapter 2021: Transcending Worldly Concerns (2nd Update)
Lu Yang was so frightened that he screamed miserably.
"Don’t kill me, don’t kill me, I really didn’t do it, I just happened to pass by here and then picked up that Jade Decree!"
"Still trying to argue? Today, I’m going to finish you off!" Qiao Le didn’t bother listening to his explanation, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to strike.
"Alright, he really didn’t do this. He doesn’t have the ability or qualification to do such a thing!" Xue An said calmly.
Only then did Qiao Le reluctantly stop, but he still questioned suspiciously, "Then how did a rift suddenly appear here?"
"Heh!" Xue An sneered, "Some folks found their previous path blocked, so they wanted to break in through here!"
As he spoke, Xue An turned to glance at Lu Yang, who was shaking like a leaf.
"Unfortunately, these guys went to great lengths, even sending the Jade Decree in to find a suitable candidate to open the passage for them, only to pick a show-off who doesn’t know how to restrain himself, a useless fool!"
"In that case, let’s just kill him!" Qiao Le said murderously.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yang’s eyes rolled up, and he fainted again out of fear.
Xue An shook his head, "Forget it, this guy was just controlled by his greed. Killing him won’t solve anything; it’s better to let him make amends for his crimes!"
As he spoke, Xue An waved his hand, and a light penetrated Lu Yang’s forehead.
Lu Yang’s body trembled, and when he opened his eyes again, the previous fear and panic were completely gone, replaced by extreme calm.
He slowly stood up and bowed to Xue An.
"Master!"
Xue An nodded, "Go now!"
"Yes!"
Afterward, Lu Yang turned and left the Abyss.
Qiao Le looked incredulously at his back and couldn’t help but ask, "Second Brother, what did you do to him? Why is he so obedient now?"
"Nothing much, I just removed the fear and greed from his soul." Xue An said casually.
Qiao Le shivered at his words and didn’t dare to speak further.
If he made his second brother unhappy, and some part of his soul got cut off, wouldn’t that be the end of him?
Xue An seemed to see through his thoughts but didn’t explain, just smiled slightly and then raised his head to look into the void ahead.
"Second Brother, what about this rift? Should we just leave it be?" Zhao Xuehui asked worriedly.
"Of course not!"
As he spoke, Xue An formed a sword seal with his hands, his expression suddenly serious, and then pointed forward with a stern shout.
"Combine!"
With a command, darkness surged like a tide.
Immediately, the rift began to writhe and gradually closed up.
As the rift closed, faint unwilling roars could be heard from the void.
Finally.
After a full quarter of an hour, the void in front of them returned to its original state, with no trace of the previous rift.
Only then did Zhao Xuehui and the others breathe a sigh of relief.
"Luckily we discovered it in time, we managed to seal the rift!"
But Xue An’s expression did not relax at all, still serious as he said.
"This is only a temporary measure. Since they’ve found this place, they won’t give up. In a few years or as quickly as six months, such rifts will definitely appear again, possibly even more fiercely than this time!"
"Then what should we do?" Zhao Xuehui and the other two were startled.
Xue An turned to look at the three of them and said softly, "What? Are you scared?"
"Of course not!" Qiao Le immediately said.
"No matter what kind of crap existence comes after Earth, Old Qiao will never agree!"
"That’s right, me too!" Yang Bin echoed.
Even though Zhao Xuehui didn’t speak, his expression showed his stance!
"Very good!" Xue An nodded in satisfaction.
"After shedding greed, you’re just the good brothers I know!"
Hearing Xue An say this, the three felt a warmth in their hearts, and any alienation caused by Xue An’s status instantly vanished.
Back in their university days, the four of them faced any challenges together, side by side.
Even when outnumbered, the four never showed fear.
"Haha, Second Brother, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I almost forgot. We were so fierce back then. Once, during a fight with some hooligans from outside school, our leader yanked a dumbbell from the gym storage and charged into the fray, making those fellas cry for their moms and dads! That’s what I call ferocity." Qiao Le said with a chuckle.
Zhao Xuehui blushed and awkwardly said, "That was ages ago, why bring it up now? Oh, right, why didn’t I see Sister-in-law and the two nieces when you returned this time?"
Xue An laughed too.
With a smile, he shed the transcendent aura and returned to being an ordinary young man from a Half-step Immortal Emperor.
"I left Yan’er in the Pure Land Buddhist Country to manage the forces there."
As he spoke, Xue An summarized the events briefly.
The three listened, their hearts stirred, feeling chills down their spines.
After listening, Zhao Xuehui solemnly said, "Second Brother, just give your orders now, what do you need us to do?"
"Yes, give us orders now, brother, we’re all in!" Qiao Le and Yang Bin agreed enthusiastically.
"No need to rush. Since I’m back, I obviously have my plans, but relying on you three alone isn’t enough. This time we need the combined effort of China and the entire Earth!"
With that, Xue An stepped down, causing ripples in the void beneath his feet. Then, a brilliant light flashed in his eyes, and the vast Divine Sense spread out like water along the ripples in the void, reaching across the entire Abyss.
Meanwhile, in a certain place, Tang Xuan’er and Xue Lan were fighting side by side.
After years of training, Tang Xuan’er’s cultivation level had greatly advanced, along with a more refined aura.
As Xue An’s cousin, Xue Lan’s strength was naturally exceptional too.
Soon, the two of them wiped out a small group of Abyssal Demons, leaving behind many dazzling stones on the ground.
These were the crystal stones left by the Abyssal Demons after they died.
Xue Lan was thrilled, "Sister Xuan’er, we’ve got quite the haul this time!"
Tang Xuan’er brushed away the stray hair beside her ear and smiled gently, "Yes, quite a bit indeed!"
Just then, a ripple reached them.
Tang Xuan’er and Xue Lan both shuddered, exchanged a look, and said simultaneously.
"Xue An?"
"Brother?"
Immediately, they ignored the crystal stones on the ground, rose to their feet, and flew toward Xue An’s location.
Not just the two of them.
In another corner of the Abyss, a Fire Phoenix squad in the middle of a fierce battle also trembled.
Then, the captain Cheng Hao quickly realized and commanded in a deep voice, "Everyone listen up, stop all current tasks and follow me!"
With that, he flew up first, and the other team members quickly left their easy prey and followed him.
