Chapter 2228: Chapter 2229: Moonlight Fades, A Momentary Glimpse (Second Update)
Looking at the people lying on the ground sound asleep, Yue Qinghuan and others were all quite dumbfounded.
Xue An was even a bit taken aback, "What do you mean by this?"
"Nothing much, just that I’m acquainted with the elder of the friend who gave you that sword, so in her favor, I won’t hold you accountable, and I’ll return these people to you. But there’s something I need to remind you!"
"The matter about the Shadow Turtle Race in Bead City is not my doing; there’s a hidden truth behind it. However, I advise you not to investigate further, because the result is something you can’t bear!"
Xue An looked deeply at this Lord Yuehua, then retracted his gaze and said calmly, "Do you think that’s possible?"
Lord Yuehua chuckled softly, then shrugged, "I don’t think it’s possible either, so I’m just kindly reminding you, whether you listen or not is up to you!"
With that, Lord Yuehua glanced at the small sword in Xue An’s hand, a trace of sadness in his eyes, then flew up and returned to the sky.
"This place was blocked by me earlier; once I leave, everything will return to normal. But I hope you won’t disclose these matters, or the consequences could be unpredictable!"
With that final sentence, the massive celestial body in the sky swiftly faded away, disappearing in an instant.
As the celestial body disappeared, there was a sudden crackling sound in the surrounding environment, as if an invisible barrier had shattered, and then everything returned to normal.
The time from when Lord Yuehua appeared to when he left was just about as long as a meal.
But no one expected such a huge change in events, so they all stood there in a daze.
After a long while, Yue Qinghuan came back to her senses, "Did he just... leave like that?"
Xue An withdrew his gaze from the sky and nodded, "Yes! He really did leave!"
"What exactly is going on here...?"
Yue Qinghuan murmured softly, suddenly remembering something, she immediately looked at the small sword in Xue An’s hand, hoping to discern something from it.
But after staring for a long time, she too found nothing and had to give up in frustration.
At this moment, the young girl who had been lying on the ground in deep sleep suddenly groaned softly and then slowly woke up.
This was a particularly delicate and charming young girl, with eyes that held a childlike innocence.
When she saw Xue An and Yue Qinghuan standing in front of her, she couldn’t help but be startled.
"What’s going on? Who are you?"
Xue An did not respond to her words but instead walked straight to the large pit Lü Yangyan had created, raising his brows slightly. His vast Divine Sense instantly extended from between his brows, transforming into countless threads that flew into the pit.
At this time, the Shadow Turtle Race members also began to wake up one by one.
But unlike the innocent girl, these Shadow Turtle Race members were evidently much more cautious.
Especially after seeing the chaotic situation in the scene, they curled up in the corner with a wary look on their faces.
At this moment, accompanied by the rise of Divine Sense threads, the bloodied and unconscious Lü Yangyan was pulled out of the pit by Xue An.
Upon seeing Lü Yangyan, the girl couldn’t help but scream, "Brother!"
Then she immediately pounced on him.
But Lü Yangyan, at this moment, was lying there like a corpse.
Seeing this, the girl immediately burst into tears, "Brother, what’s happened to you, wake up, don’t scare me!"
No matter how she shook him, Lü Yangyan showed no response.
The girl, tears streaming down her face, lay on Lü Yangyan, almost fainting from crying.
Yue Qinghuan showed a look of pity and gently patted the girl’s shoulder.
"Alright, don’t cry, the dead can’t come back to life, your brother he..."
But before she could finish, the girl cried even louder.
"Brother, are you really dead? I don’t want you to die!"
Yue Qinghuan stood there awkwardly.
At this moment, Xue An chuckled softly, "Well, if you want your brother to really die like this, then just keep shaking him!"
As soon as these words were said, the girl’s cries stopped abruptly as she looked at Xue An full of tears.
"What... what did you say?"
"I said, your brother is not dead at all! He’s just temporarily dormant!"
As he spoke, Xue An walked over to Lü Yangyan, squatted down, and gently placed his palm on Lü Yangyan’s forehead.
Seeing this, the girl became even more nervous.
Because even as a girl, she knew how important the forehead and the area between the brows were to a cultivator.
One could say that all of her brother’s vitality was now in the hands of this young man in white.
If he had any hostility towards her brother, her brother would fall into an abyss of no return.
So her heart couldn’t help but leap to her throat, watching anxiously.
Fortunately.
It seemed her prayers were answered.
Lü Yangyan’s body suddenly trembled, and then he slowly exhaled a breath.
This breath was so long, it was like the breath of a hibernating turtle or snake.
This was precisely the Turtle Breathing Technique, which the True Martial Daoist House was most proficient in.
After hearing the sound of breathing out, Xue An released his hand.
At the same time, Lü Yangyan abruptly opened his eyes.
"Give me back my sister... Huh?"
Because the first thing he saw was Xue An with a smiling face.
This startled him.
But when he saw his sister next to him, despite being seriously injured, he jumped up and rushed to the girl, grabbing her by the shoulders and looking her up and down.
"Brother!" the girl cried out.
After confirming that his sister was unharmed, Lü Yangyan let out a long breath and said, "Am I dreaming? Or have I already died?"
Upon hearing this, the girl could no longer hold back and cried into Lü Yangyan’s embrace.
"Brother, you’re not dreaming, it really is me!"
Lü Yangyan stiffened all over, his eyes becoming moist as he gently patted his sister’s back.
"Alright, alright, don’t cry!"
His tone was indulgent, as if speaking to a child.
Upon hearing his comforting words, the girl gradually stopped crying, then looked up at Lü Yangyan, whose face was covered in blood, and said with deep concern, "Brother, how did you end up like this? Does it hurt?"
"It’s fine, it’s all healed, it doesn’t hurt at all!" Lü Yangyan grinned, but his dim eyes already proved how dire his situation was now.
A hint of anger appeared in the girl’s eyes, "Who did this?"
Her voice became cold and sharp.
After sensing his sister’s anger, Lü Yangyan’s expression immediately became extremely solemn, saying in a deep voice, "This has nothing to do with you, don’t get angry, and don’t get worked up!"
Upon hearing his stern words, the girl remembered something, then lowered her eyes, gradually calming the boiling blood and energy.
Seeing this, Xue An’s eyes lit up slightly.
Because he clearly sensed that just when the girl got angry, a strong aura emerged from her body.
Even if it was fleeting, it was still breathtaking!
