Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 385 Reunion!

At this moment.

Li Qingyuan was too lazy to argue with the old ox anymore, and focused her attention on the nine-turn glazed palace lantern in her hand.

The palace lantern still radiates a dazzling array of nine colors, so brilliant and eye-catching that it seems to gather all the colors of the world into one.

However, at this moment he could keenly sense that the power of the palace lantern had weakened considerably compared to before.

The light seemed to contain a hint of weakness, as if its energy had been exhausted.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the main problem was the lack of a trace of Xue Jing's immortal soul within.

The celestial soul, which was originally like the core of a palace lantern, is now missing, just as a building has lost its foundation.

However, this seemingly terrible situation is actually a good thing for Li Qingyuan.

This means he can personally refine the palace lantern, bind it to his blood, and recast its soul...

He wanted to make it his own weapon, just like the Dragon Abyss Sword in his hand.

The Dragon Abyss Sword has now given birth to a sword spirit, which is agile and intelligent, and is in tune with Li Qingyuan's mind.

Moreover, as Li Qingyuan's own strength continues to grow, the Dragon Abyss Sword will also become more and more powerful!

The two complement each other and grow together.

......

I'm currently immersed in these thoughts!

"what--!"

Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted from below, exploding in everyone's ears like thunder:

"You bastard who killed my son, get down here!"

The voice was filled with anger and grief, as if it could tear the entire world apart.

Li Qingyuan's thoughts were interrupted by the sudden roar, and a sense of irritation welled up in her heart.

But he knew that what had happened was already done, and running away was not the solution; he had to face it bravely.

Just as he was about to leap down, he saw Yue Qinghuan float down ahead of him, arriving in front of the middle-aged cultivator like a light cloud.

She spoke calmly, her tone gentle yet firm:

“Master Yu, my son’s death was entirely his own fault.”

"My friend was merely forced to act in self-defense at a life-or-death situation!"

"But who would have thought that Yu Ming, a prodigy on the list of geniuses, would be so easily defeated, unable to even withstand a single finger."

"Therefore, I hope that Patriarch Yu will consider the Treasure Pavilion's reputation and let this matter rest."

"If the Yu family ever needs anything in the future, Treasure Pavilion will certainly do its utmost to help and will never refuse."

"Patriarch Yu, what do you think?"

......

"Humph!"

Yu Jun, the head of the Yu family, had a gloomy face and exuded a chilling aura.

He spoke coldly, each word seeming to be squeezed out from between his teeth:

"I don't think so!"

"This place is Dream City, the stronghold of the Mandarin Duck Tower. On this land, the Mandarin Duck Tower is the king!"

"The Treasure Pavilion has overstepped its bounds, daring to point fingers and dictate things here!"

The pain of losing his son was like a sharp blade, piercing his heart and making his eyes bloodshot, as if burning with raging anger, his whole body shrouded in fury.

At this moment, he was burning with rage, his reason clouded by hatred. How could he possibly let the matter drop so easily because of a mere remark from Yue Qinghuan?

In his heart, compared to the pain of losing his son, face was nothing, utterly worthless!

Moreover, the Yu family was, after all, a prominent family native to Menggui City, having been rooted in this land for many years and under the jurisdiction of Yuanyang Tower.

Now, his son has been murdered in public on his own turf. How can he save face?

This is no longer a simple grudge, but an irreconcilable hatred!

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people in Dream City at this moment, with various forces gathered there.

He would definitely disregard the so-called rules and kill Li Qingyuan directly to vent his hatred!

......

Upon hearing Yu Jun's words, Yue Qinghuan's expression turned slightly awkward, and an unnatural embarrassment appeared on her fair cheeks.

The Central Plains region is vast and boundless, like a boundless ocean.

Although the Treasure Pavilion is powerful, it is ultimately impossible for it to have branches in every region.

This includes the Dream City, where the Mandarin Duck Tower holds absolute power and has no say.

Treasure Pavilion certainly doesn't have enough confidence to interfere in matters here!

Because the cultivation level of the Lord of the Mandarin Duck Tower is unfathomable, like a towering mountain that is difficult to climb, inspiring awe in those who look upon it.

Moreover, this person is very mysterious; no one has ever seen his true face, as if he were hidden in a thick fog.

Because all those who had seen him were already dead!

I've heard that he's made his move several times, and each time he's used lightning-fast methods, as fierce as a storm, and no one can survive his attacks.

Therefore, Treasure Pavilion would not seek trouble for itself and has always maintained a peaceful coexistence with Mandarin Duck Tower, keeping to themselves and not interfering with each other.

However, this matter concerns Li Qingyuan, and she simply cannot stand idly by!

Therefore, she secretly pondered that she had to find a way to intervene and protect Li Qingyuan no matter what.

......

Just as Yue Qinghuan was racking her brains, desperately trying to figure out how to "save" Li Qingyuan!

On the other side, on that picturesque covered bridge.

A graceful figure in white, like a drifting white cloud, was rapidly approaching.

Her steps were light and swift, her clothes fluttering in the wind, exuding an otherworldly charm that drew the attention of everyone around her.

As Su Yaoyue walked lightly towards that land of strife!

The surrounding crowd instantly rippled like a lake with a stone thrown in, creating waves of discussion.

"Look, whose fairy is that? So graceful and charming, could she have stepped out of a painting?"

A young nobleman stared intently, his folding fan idly moving as he muttered to himself.

"Hey, you're so ignorant! That's Su Yaoyue. I've heard that she's not only incredibly beautiful, but her cultivation is also unfathomable. She's the dream girl of many talented young men!"

A man dressed in a tight-fitting outfit next to him curled his lip and proudly showed off his "knowledge".

"Oh, what's she going over there for? Is she going to get involved in that kind of thing?"

A chubby middle-aged man frowned and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Who knows? Maybe they have a past connection with the person who caused the trouble and are just helping them out."

Another tall, thin man stroked his chin and said thoughtfully.

The crowd chattered amongst themselves, their guesses and exclamations blending together, making the already lively scene even more boisterous.

......

Right now!

As if an invisible thread was pulling at Li Qingyuan's heart, he turned his head to look as if by some unseen force.

In an instant, a dazzling white light entered his eyes!

He thought he was seeing things, so he subconsciously rubbed his eyes hard several times before looking again.

He discovered that the beautiful figure in white was none other than the woman he had been longing for day and night—Su Yaoyue.

At this moment, Li Qingyuan felt as if a wild beast was pounding in her heart, so excited that she could hardly contain herself, and her eyes unconsciously became slightly moist.

The next moment, he could no longer suppress his eagerness and rushed downwards like a bolt of lightning, creating a whooshing sound.

Over there, Su Yaoyue was also rapidly ascending into the sky, her steps light yet firm, her eyes filled with anticipation and joy.

The two faced each other, and although they were still far apart, an invisible force seemed to draw their gazes together.

Both of them could clearly see the undisguised joy in each other's eyes.

That joy, like dazzling stars, illuminated each other's hearts.

Their eyes welled up with tears, as if they had a thousand words to say.

But at this moment, they both fell silent, simply looking at each other quietly, as if the whole world had shrunk to just the two of them.

......

Yue Qinghuan, who was below, also noticed this scene keenly.

Her expression changed slightly, and a complex emotion flashed in her previously calm eyes. She thought to herself:

"In the end... it still happened..."

She lowered her head slightly and gently bit her lip, as if she was thinking about something.

Wang Anran stood beside her, watching Yue Qinghuan's thoughtful expression;

Following her gaze, he spotted Su Yaoyue and Li Qingyuan, and couldn't help but whisper:

"Hey~ isn't that Su Yaoyue?"

"But how could the two of them be in contact?"

"Qingqing, do you know what's going on?"

Her voice carried a hint of curiosity and doubt, her eyes wide open, awaiting Yue Qinghuan's answer.
