Chapter 291: Reunion
Under Sun Zhe's gaze, four figures rapidly approached from a distance. Moments later, Sun Zhe could discern their shapes: two women and two men. Regardless of gender, each of them exuded an intimidating aura, clearly strong individuals above the Emperor Level.
"It’s you!"
Before they even arrived, a voice filled with astonishment rang out, unable to conceal the shock within. The speaker was none other than Feng Ling, a top-tier young expert from the Wings of Wind Continent. Looking at Sun Zhe, who stood coldly on the plain, her eyes were filled with disbelief.
In truth, she had only met Sun Zhe twice before. The first time was when he rescued Tang Yuexi; at that moment, Sun Zhe had single-handedly charged into the enemy ranks and killed the formidable Lü Qin. The second time was before Wuguan, when she happened to be leading her team from the Wings of Wind Continent. It was because of Sun Zhe that the Wuguan defenders managed to block the Seven Realms team before Wuguan, which led to Bai Qi killing over seven hundred elite members from the Eight Realms.
However, she never expected their third encounter would be here. After witnessing the astonishing aftermath of the battle just now, she thought it must have been some Saint-Level Expert fighting nearby. She never imagined that this so-called "Holy Rank" expert was actually Sun Zhe.
Considering it all, Sun Zhe had both helped and harmed her Wings of Wind Continent. He had saved Tang Yuexi; without him, she might have fallen into the hands of other continents. Yet on the other hand, Sun Zhe was also responsible for the deaths of nearly a hundred elite members from her continent before Wuguan. In that moment, Feng Ling found herself at a loss for how to respond.
"Junior Sister, that person seems to be Thunder Abyss from Thunder Continent. His strength has already reached the Emperor Level Limit. Our Senior Brother was defeated by him several months ago, and that Thunderbolt Dragon Spear is in his possession. But he..."
At that moment, one of the young men from Wings of Wind Continent focused his gaze and looked towards the corpse of Thunder Abyss behind Sun Zhe. Shock flashed in his eyes as he quickly whispered to Feng Ling. In the end, his gaze turned back to Sun Zhe standing before them; it was clear he couldn't believe that Thunder Abyss had been killed by Sun Zhe.
Hearing his words, the others also turned their attention to Thunder Abyss's corpse behind Sun Zhe. A hint of shock reappeared in Feng Ling's beautiful eyes. The Senior Brother mentioned by that young man was her brother Feng Yu, who was also the strongest expert from Wings of Wind Continent in the Nine Continents. Although he had not yet reached mid-Emperor Level in cultivation, his true strength had already reached late Emperor Level; yet he still wasn't a match for Thunder Abyss.
Looking at Sun Zhe's disheveled appearance made it evident that he had just gone through a life-and-death battle. The area within dozens of miles was a flat plain; if there were people around, they would certainly notice this fact. Thus, it was clear who Sun Zhe's opponent had been—Thunder Abyss lying on the ground.
"Did you kill Thunder Abyss?"
Although this question seemed somewhat redundant, Feng Ling couldn't help but ask. If Sun Zhe could achieve such feats alone, then what about them? They still had numerous secret techniques and pills from their Sect to rely on while Sun Zhe had already left Thunder Continent as a solitary Loose Cultivator. She truly couldn't comprehend how he could possess such terrifying strength.
However, Sun Zhe showed no intention of answering her; his eyes were merely fixed ahead as if he directly ignored Feng Ling's question. While Feng Ling remained unperturbed by this, the young man beside her grew angry first.
“Sun Zhe, my junior sister is asking you, did the Thunder Abyss’s Thunderbolt Dragon Spear fall into your hands? If so, I hope you can return the Wings of Wind Continent to me…”
The young man’s eyes flashed with anger as he coldly questioned Sun Zhe. Regardless of Sun Zhe's strength, it was clear that he had become a strong but exhausted opponent. Moreover, their side had four powerful individuals, so he naturally felt no fear.
“Liang Shan, wait a moment…”
Seeing Sun Zhe’s appearance, Feng Ling immediately interrupted the young man. She turned around and looked behind her, only to find that Tang Yuexi had the exact same expression.
Indeed! Standing behind Feng Ling was none other than the princess of the Wings of Wind Continent, Tang Yuexi!
“I didn’t expect you to be here…”
After a long while, it was ultimately Tang Yuexi who couldn’t help but speak first. Seeing Sun Zhe covered in blood made her heart tremble involuntarily. Her enchanting eyes sparkled, and a hint of affection unconsciously revealed itself—an emotion that anyone could see.
“Elder sister, he…” Liang Shan looked confused, not understanding what was going on. He wasn’t present when Tang Yuexi was rescued, so he naturally didn’t understand the relationship between Tang Yuexi and Sun Zhe.
“I didn’t expect you to come here either…” With lips slightly moving, looking at the stunning beauty across from him, Sun Zhe’s Jet Black Eyes were filled with complexity. After finishing his sentence, he couldn’t help but sigh.
“Elder sister, that Sun Zhe, he…” Seeing the expressions of the two, Feng Ling’s face tightened as she immediately spoke to Tang Yuexi. However, before she could finish her words, Tang Yuexi spoke up first.
“You don’t need to say anything; I know what you want.” Although Tang Yuexi was kind-hearted, her demeanor as a delicate lady was not feigned in the slightest. Now that she spoke up, even Feng Ling dared not say much.
“This isn’t the place for conversation; the commotion earlier was too loud. Powerful individuals from all sides are heading this way. The nearest Korean strongman is only a few dozen miles away; if you want to talk, it would be better to change locations!”
At that moment, a middle-aged man in armor standing at the back stepped forward. He gazed toward the direction of Korea and spoke in a serious tone.
“Hmm?” Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback. Even Sun Zhe couldn’t help but look at this rugged man who appeared unremarkable. A range of several dozen miles was beyond what his Divine Consciousness could detect; this was definitely not a level of Divine Consciousness possessed by an Emperor-Level Expert. Moreover, this man’s age could not possibly match someone sent by the Wings of Wind Continent.
"This is General Tian Dan of the Qi Kingdom, who has stationed his troops nearby and has a good relationship with us," Feng Ling said slowly as she noticed Sun Zhe's confusion.
………………
Moments later, the five figures appeared on a hill several miles away. Feng Ling and the others spread out, leaving the middle position for Sun Zhe and Tang Yuexi, who stood about a hundred feet apart, subtly protecting each other.
Sun Zhe and Tang Yuexi stood on the plain, looking at each other, but neither spoke first.
"How did your strength suddenly become so strong?"
It was not Tang Yuexi who spoke, but Sun Zhe, breaking the silence. With his strength, he naturally would not regard an ordinary Emperor-Level Expert as anything special. However, Tang Yuexi was different; he remembered that her physique was somewhat unique. A year ago, when they were together, she seemed to be at the third level, but now she had jumped to the sixth level. The leap was indeed too great.
"If I knew, would you believe me?" Tang Yuexi said with a faint smile of bitterness, her trembling eyes revealing deep helplessness.
"I believe you!" To her surprise, as soon as she finished speaking, Sun Zhe's voice rang out. His black eyes were fixed intently on her face, showing no sign of jest.
Such powerful words made Tang Yuexi's heart involuntarily tremble slightly.
"A while ago, I went to the Qin State and also visited Northern Yue Village. The villagers are very simple, and that girl who claims to be your sister, named Yier, is quite adorable..."
Tang Yuexi suddenly took two steps forward, brushing aside a few strands of light purple hair from her forehead. She looked at Sun Zhe and gently spoke as if recalling something, a faint smile unconsciously appearing on her lips.
"They are indeed very simple; they are just ordinary farmers. That's why I don't want people from all corners of the world to disturb their lives. I had no choice regarding Wuguan before; as for those from the Wings of Wind Continent..." Sun Zhe sighed lightly and began to explain.
"Heh heh, I understand. You don’t need to explain these things to me; I believe you," Tang Yuexi said with a faint smile. "Yier even took me to that hillside; she showed me one tomb that belongs to your mother and another..." At this point, Tang Yuexi paused.
"That would be Qiu Ruo. Back then, I regarded you as her."
The name Sun Zhe instantly brought to mind the beautiful figure, but in that moment, Tang Yuexi also appeared in his heart. The two figures slowly overlapped, neither replacing the other, but truly merging together.
“Sun Zhe, I like you!” Staring intently at the man before her, Tang Yuexi bit her lower lip tightly, her hands gripping the hem of her clothes. She spoke earnestly, and as she did, her comet-like eyes flickered slightly. She felt that if she didn't say it now, she might never have the chance again.
After a moment, Sun Zhe finally snapped out of his daze. He looked seriously at Tang Yuexi and gently said,
“I'll come find you in a few days. Give me some time, okay?”
Tang Yuexi suddenly smiled, revealing her teeth. Her smile was as enchanting as a crescent moon, making all other beauties pale in comparison. She nodded gently, a blush spreading across her delicate face.
“Yier, I really resemble her sister-in-law. I am…”
…………
Sun Zhe left, while Tang Yuexi returned to Qi Kingdom with three others. Before leaving, Sun Zhe left behind the Thunderbolt Dragon Spear. He already had an Ancient Bell Blade, which was enough for him. Moreover, for Tang Yuexi, he needed to ease relations with the Wings of Wind Continent.
(To be continued.)
