Chapter 2230 - 2231: Return to Bead City (Second Update)
Chapter 2230: Chapter 2231: Return to Bead City (Second Update)
But he was prepared for this, and with a wave of his hand, a familiar voice appeared in the minds of these Shadow Turtle Race members.
In an instant, these Shadow Turtle Race members trembled, and then they were full of surprise and reverence as they kneeled on the ground, listening to that voice in their minds.
Xue An stood quietly watching from his position.
Moments later, these Shadow Turtle Race members raised their heads to look at Xue An.
Xue An shrugged slightly, "Well? Any doubts now?"
The one that had just appeared in the minds of these Shadow Turtle Race members was the aura of the Shadow Turtle Emperor.
At the time, to prevent such a situation, Xue An had specifically obtained a strand of Divine Sense aura from the Shadow Turtle Emperor.
He hadn’t expected it to prove useful now.
Upon hearing this, the Shadow Turtle Race members respectfully bowed to Xue An.
"Master, we have no more doubts. We were foolish and ignorant before; please forgive us!"
Because in that strand of Divine Sense, the Shadow Turtle Emperor made it clear that this young man in white was here to rescue them, so they had to treat him with the same respect they would themselves!
These Shadow Turtle Race members naturally did not dare to neglect that.
Xue An smiled upon hearing this, "Alright, get up. Can you still travel?"
"Reporting to the master, although we were imprisoned, we weren’t injured, so traveling is not a problem!"
"Very well, let’s return to Bead City now!"
With an order given, everyone immediately started bustling about.
The Shadow Turtle Race members also made preparations, someone voluntarily carrying Lü Yangyan and his sister on their backs, just as everyone was about to leave.
At this moment, an urgent shout came from the prison behind them.
"Master, please wait, I have something to say!"
Everyone was taken aback, and Xue An turned to look.
The man who had previously bargained with him was now leaning on the prison bars, looking at him with hope written all over his face.
In fact, after the battle just now, the prison had a large hole in it, and most of the prisoners previously held here had already sneaked away.
Now, only this man was left, looking wistfully at Xue An.
"What do you want to say?"
"Master, I’d like to follow you to Bead City, but I don’t know if that’s possible?"
Upon hearing this, Xue An gave the man a deep look, "You want to accompany us back to Bead City?"
"That’s right!"
"Why?"
The man’s face showed a trace of embarrassment, and then he lowered his head, speaking softly, "I have no place to stand now, and even the spiritual mine passed down by my ancestors has been squandered by me. I have nowhere to go, so I want to follow you to Bead City!"
With that, he raised his head, looking at Xue An with a full face of pleading, "Master, rest assured, I won’t trouble you. I just want to leave Linglong City, may I?"
Xue An remained silent, just quietly watching the man.
Until a long time had passed, even when the man’s face showed signs of despair, thinking he had been refused.
Only then did Xue An nod, "Fine!"
The man was overjoyed, "Thank you, master!"
Then he crawled out from the hole in the prison and uninvitedly followed behind Xue An.
The entire time, he wisely didn’t mention the seal on himself.
Xue An also said nothing.
As if they had both ignored this matter.
Once everyone was ready, Xue An said in a deep voice, "Let’s go!"
Upon those words, the Shadow Turtle Race members took the lead, carrying the heavily injured Lü Yangyan and his sister and flying into the sky.
Afterward, Xue An waved his hand, and a beam of sword light entered this man’s body.
The man shuddered, then was also carried by the sword light into the sky.
After completing all this, Xue An stomped hard on the ground.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the entire Dream Death Court started to shake violently.
Then Xue An and Yue Qinghuan soared into the sky, disappearing into the vast horizon.
As soon as they left, the entire Dream Death Court collapsed, turning completely into ruins.
This commotion naturally alarmed many people in Linglong City.
But when they arrived, all they could see was a pile of rubble.
"Hiss! Even Dream Death Court wasn’t spared, who on earth is that boy?" someone exclaimed in shock.
"This has truly made the Drunken Life and Death disappear completely from Linglong City, but will those from the Yin and Yang Clan let this slide?" someone wondered.
It’s important to know, prior to this, Linglong City was dominated by The Drunken Life Pavilion, but now that it has been uprooted by Xue An, the power vacuum left behind naturally made many covetous.
The entire Linglong City began to roil with undercurrents.
Xue An was unaware of this, and even if he had been, he wouldn’t have cared.
Compared to the time taken to arrive, the return journey was much faster.
These Shadow Turtle Race members were exceptionally skilled at flying, especially in the void between planets, where they moved with incredible speed.
So it took only a day’s time for Xue An and the group to return to the vicinity of Bead City.
At this moment, Bead City, on the surface, showed no signs of change and remained bustling.
As if the fall of the previous City Lord Zhang Pengtian had never happened.
But only a small number of people knew that the entire Bead City was actually lax on the outside but tense on the inside.
At many key choke points, there were often burly, expressionless men guarding them.
The aura of these men was distinctly different from that of the Human Clan; it was the high-level members of the Shadow Turtle Race in disguise.
This time, Xue An and his group returned, naturally without fanfare.
In fact, before they even reached Bead City.
The Shadow Turtle Emperor had already received the news and immediately cleared out the City Lord’s Mansion, removing any unrelated personnel.
When Xue An and the numerous Shadow Turtle Race members landed, the Shadow Turtle Emperor rushed forward immediately.
These Shadow Turtle Race members, upon seeing their king, quickly knelt on the ground.
"Emperor! We have returned!"
The Shadow Turtle Emperor, quite emotional, carefully examined these clan members, discovering they were unharmed, and finally felt at ease, nodding, "It’s good that you’re back! You’ve suffered, go and rest for now!"
After the Shadow Turtle Race members left, the Shadow Turtle Emperor eagerly asked, "Were you able to find any clues?"
Xue An nodded, "I have not disgraced my mission!"
He then recounted the events that had transpired.
Upon hearing that the mastermind behind the scenes was a high-ranking member of the Yin and Yang Clan, the Shadow Turtle Emperor trembled all over, then his expression grew increasingly grave.
"Why would the Yin and Yang Clan deliver such a blow to our Shadow Turtle Race?"
Xue An shook his head, "I don’t know for sure, but from what Lord Yuehua implied, there might be hidden motives behind it."
The Shadow Turtle Emperor’s face turned ashen because he finally sensed the gravity of the situation.
If it were only about The Drunken Life Pavilion, he wouldn’t care.
But with the addition of the Yin and Yang Clan, such an ancient and formidable force, even with his usual arrogance, he understood he might not even have the chance to retaliate.
Let alone if there might be someone even more profound behind the Yin and Yang Clan.
How could he not be filled with dread?
Sensing the fear within him, Xue An comfortingly said, "However, you need not worry too much. After this incident, the matter has been exposed, and those behind the scenes will surely refrain from targeting your Shadow Turtle Race again!"
