Chapter 2256: Chapter 2257: Bone-Chilling Cold (Second Update)
Although she said that, she hurriedly chased after him.
Despite having already seen the shadow of the star vein, the journey was as exhausting as running a horse up a mountain. The two of them walked for more than half a day before they finally saw the full view of this Star System.
Even Xue An was shaken by the vast and enormous star pillar.
"How about it? Isn’t it spectacular?" Yue Qinghuan was very pleased by the look of shock on Xue An’s face and couldn’t help but laugh.
Xue An restrained his surprise, nodded, and said, "It is indeed spectacular!"
In the past, even the most powerful Sect in The Multiverse only occupied a single star.
He never expected the ancient Bai Families of the Sky Beyond the Skies to have such a grand gesture as to take up an entire Star System as their dwelling.
"The real spectacle is yet to come! Let’s go, let’s head home first!"
Yue Qinghuan led the way in front, taking Xue An towards the branch veins of the Yue Clan.
Just when the two of them had just arrived before the star vein and were about to fly inside, several beams of light suddenly flew across, blocking their path.
The sudden situation caught Yue Qinghuan by surprise, forcing her to stop abruptly.
Even so, the two sides nearly collided.
Upon seeing the appearance of the opposing group, Yue Qinghuan’s expression changed, and she angrily shouted, "Liang Dikang, Zu Deming, what do you want?"
Indeed!
The ones blocking their path were none other than Liang Dikang and Zu Deming and their group.
Their leader smiled slyly and cupped his hands at Yue Qinghuan.
"Miss Yue, this matter is not related to you. We are here specifically for the man behind you!"
Yue Qinghuan, being very clever, immediately understood the situation and said coldly, "Did Long Zhan send you here?"
"Haha, it doesn’t matter who sent us. We’ve been waiting here for many days just for this gentleman!"
Saying this, Liang Dikang smiled slightly at Xue An, who was standing behind Yue Qinghuan. "Kid, if you’re a man, don’t hide behind a woman!"
"That’s right. If you dared to snatch a woman, then you should stand up at a time like this," Zu Deming said sinisterly.
Just as they were speaking, their companions quietly moved to encircle Xue An, blocking all his escape routes.
The situation immediately grew tense.
This scene was also spotted by a tabby cat hiding in the distant void.
It couldn’t help baring its teeth. "Damn it, it seems these guys don’t intend to play fair and are planning to gang up on him!"
"Now, should I step in or not?"
The tabby cat hesitated a bit, finally deciding to watch a bit longer.
However, it didn’t know that at the same time, it was not the only one observing from the shadows.
On a tear gem of the Long Family’s branch veins, Long Zhan was sitting in a private room in Red Sleeve Pavilion, watching a light screen on the table.
The light screen was unlike the usual Shui Jing technique, with much clearer images, and even the sounds could be transmitted exactly.
This was an artifact that Long Zhan had stumbled upon years ago, which could transmit images clearly no matter the distance.
This time, Liang Dikang and others were doing him a favor by dealing with Xue An.
To witness such a "spectacle" firsthand, he sent the artifact along with them.
At this moment,
Watching the scene where Liang Dikang and Zu Deming were aggressively taunting Xue An, a sense of immense satisfaction emerged on Long Zhan’s face.
Kid, even if you managed to win Yue Qinghuan’s heart through tricks, what of it?
Today, I will turn you into a useless person right in front of Yue Qinghuan.
Let’s see what Yue Qinghuan can do then!
At this moment, amidst the attention from all sides, Xue An, who had been quietly standing behind Yue Qinghuan, suddenly smiled. He then reached out and gently patted Yue Qinghuan’s shoulder, stopping her from angrily shouting.
"No need to say much. Please step aside. These people are here for me, so just leave them all to me!"
Yue Qinghuan was momentarily stunned and then said somewhat reluctantly, "But..."
She was worried about Xue An.
Because she knew Liang Dikang and Zu Deming well. Although they weren’t the strongest, they had weathered countless storms and, with the backing of the Long Family, were extremely troublesome.
Though Xue An had now ascended to an Immortal Venerable, in the Sky Beyond the Skies, that was still not enough!
Seeing her concern, Xue An smiled slightly, "Don’t worry! These people are nothing to me!"
Hearing these words, Yue Qinghuan’s expression relaxed.
Because she knew that if Xue An dared to speak such words, it meant he had absolute confidence.
So she wisely stepped aside.
However, although she was full of confidence in Xue An, Liang Dikang and the others were provoked by Xue An’s previous remarks.
Liang Dikang inspected Xue An with a sneer and then said sinisterly, "Kid, I didn’t expect your ability to be ordinary, but your arrogance isn’t!"
"Is that so? I don’t think so!" Xue An replied with a light smile.
"Cut the nonsense. Do you know why we are here to find you?" Zu Deming shouted with a face full of murderous intent.
"I hold no grudges against any of you, neither in the past nor recently, and I’ve never seen any of you before. Your sudden arrival should be at the behest of that Young Master Long, right?"
"That’s right! Kid, judging by this, you’re not entirely clueless. So why did you have the nerve to challenge Young Master Long for a woman?"
This remark made Yue Qinghuan’s eyebrows twitch. She was about to speak when Xue An lightly laughed.
"Firstly, I didn’t challenge him for a woman. This is just his wishful thinking. Moreover, even if I were fighting him for a woman, what can you do about it?"
Within these understated words lay blatant contempt.
Liang Dikang and Zu Deming couldn’t help but burst into anger.
"Kid, originally we just wanted to teach you a lesson today, but now, I’ll make you understand the rules of the Sky Beyond the Skies!"
Liang Dikang roared, then lunged forward, his hand like a blade, chopping down from above.
The speed of the move was akin to lightning, accompanied by a razor-sharp gust of wind.
Without a doubt, even a slight touch by this blade wind could slice a Fine Gold body in half.
This was precisely Liang Dikang’s signature move, the Thunderclap Palm!
Moreover, it wasn’t just him. As Liang Dikang made his move, Zu Deming also acted.
He raised his hand, extending two fingers. Reaching forward, his fingers pierced through the void, aiming directly at the back of Xue An’s head.
Suddenly, a fierce gust of palm wind approached from the front, while two fingers stabbed from behind.
Xue An found himself in a dire situation.
But he still smiled.
And in this gentle and dazzling smile, Liang Dikang and Zu Deming, who confidently thought this move would end the life of the young man in white, both trembled and felt an overwhelming chill.
