On the night they returned to Liuyun City, Xiao Yun woke up and was in good spirits, which made Xiao Ying, Tianxia Qishi and others feel relieved.
Yun Che explained in detail the whole story of Xiao Yun’s abduction, as well as what happened in the Supreme Ocean Palace. He also told Jasmine, his identity in the Illusory Demon Realm, and how his identity as the seventh-best person in the world had already been exposed in the Supreme Ocean Palace. He also told the story of how Feng Hengkong, the old fox, had taken advantage of the situation and announced publicly that he would hold an engagement party for him and Feng Xue’er...
But he did not mention that he already knew who killed Xiao Ying that year.
As night fell, Xiao Lingxi pulled Yun Che out of the courtyard alone. She lowered her head slightly and said apprehensively, "Xiao Che, there is something I have been hiding from you. Actually... Actually, Fen Juechen has been living here for the past two months."
“Hmm?” Yun Che was stunned.
“Two months ago, someone found him outside the city. At that time, he was seriously injured and almost dying, so… so I asked Brother Tianxia to bring him back to the Xiao Clan and asked them not to tell you.” Xiao Lingxi became even more nervous: “Xiao Che, I didn’t mean to hide it from you, but between you two… after you two meet, there will be a big conflict. You are my Xiao Che, and he is my savior. I don’t want to see any of you get into trouble, so… so…”
“Oh, I see.” Yun Che nodded slightly and said in understanding, “No wonder, every time I came back in the past two months, I could vaguely sense Fen Juechen’s presence.”
“In the past two months, he… he has been recuperating here. Every time he knew you were coming back, he would hide away in advance and come back after you left. After recovering from his injuries, he set off to the Supreme Ocean Palace to participate in the ‘Devil Sword Conference’ just like you, but he left much earlier than you.” Xiao Lingxi looked at Yun Che anxiously, but found that he didn’t look angry at all: “Xiao Che, I have been hiding this from you, don’t you blame me?”
“Why should I blame you?” Yun Che asked back, “My little aunt… Is there anyone in this world who knows my Lingxi better than me? If you didn’t do this when you met the seriously injured Fen Juechen, I would find it strange. From childhood to adulthood, you have rarely lied to me, but every time, it was definitely for my own good, and this time is no exception.”
“Hee…” Xiao Lingxi’s nervousness dissipated, and a smile spread across her face. “While he was recovering here, I was the one who took care of him. I even swore brotherhood with him and acknowledged him as my elder brother. He also promised that he would never kill you again… Actually, Brother Fen is not a bad person. He is just… too lonely.”
“…” Yun Che was stunned for a long while before he slowly nodded: “No wonder, when I met him in the Supreme Ocean Palace, he had no intention of killing me at all.”
"He is indeed very lonely, and because of this, his hatred has always been extremely deep and pure. Especially towards me, it can be said that he hates me to the bone and soul. To be able to resolve this level of hatred... Lingxi, in this world, only you can do it. For him, meeting someone like you who truly cares about him is not only a great warmth and luck, but also a great salvation."
Yun Che's voice gradually faded away, because he thought of his past self. His past self was very similar to Fen Juechen, but the difference was... Fen Juechen's hatred was quietly melting away. Xiao Lingxi redeemed him, and he also redeemed himself.
But he...
“Wait…” Yun Che suddenly thought of something. He shuddered, widened his eyes and shouted, “You and him…are brother and sister?”
“Yes.” Yun Che’s reaction startled Xiao Lingxi, and she said nervously, “Xiao Che, you… don’t agree?”
“That’s not the point.” Yun Che was conflicted. “No! I absolutely cannot call you little aunt anymore. I can only call you Lingxi. Otherwise… otherwise, I will be a generation younger in front of him! How can I tolerate this?”
“Puff…” Xiao Lingxi covered her lips and laughed, “It’s okay. Look, I’m the aunt of Xiao Yun and Number Seven Under Heaven, but I still call Number One Under Heaven Big Brother…”
“…” Yun Che slapped his forehead, choking with speechlessness.
“Actually, I actually prefer you to call me Lingxi.” Xiao Lingxi lowered her head slightly. Under the night sky, one could still see the gorgeous blush on her snowy face: “But, in front of dad, you still have to call me aunt. Otherwise… otherwise…”
Xiao Lingxi didn’t know how to explain the following words.
“Actually, I have something to hide from you.” Yun Che suddenly said.
"ah?"
Yun Che said seriously: “I already know who killed Uncle Xiao Ying back then.”
“Ah!?” Xiao Lingxi raised her head sharply and asked anxiously, “Who is it!?”
"The power behind that man is very powerful. With my current strength, I can't deal with him at all. If I tell Grandpa now, he will be worried day and night and unable to rest, so I didn't tell him. However, when I have enough strength, I will definitely bring him here alive and hand him over to Grandpa for disposal... This hatred has always been the biggest knot in Grandpa's heart for so many years. Only by letting him settle it with his own hands can he truly get rid of this knot."
Xiao Lingxi nodded gently: "Well, it's better not to tell Dad right now."
“In addition, there is another reason.” Yun Che smiled slightly, and lowered his voice with a mysterious look on his face: “Grandpa has watched us grow up since we were young. If I suddenly asked him to marry you, he might beat me to death. But if I wait until he has relieved his depression and has no regrets before asking him, maybe he won’t be so angry…”
“Ah…” Xiao Lingxi’s breathing stagnated, and then she said angrily, “You have Xia Qingyue, you have the Empress as your wife, and you have a little Demon Queen in the Illusory Demon Realm. Soon… you will be with Princess Snow soon… Each of them is thousands of times better than me. How can you… how can you still care about me? Humph!”
With a heavy snort, Xiao Lingxi turned and ran away, not wanting Yun Che to see the look in her beautiful eyes.
Yun Che smiled as he watched Xiao Lingxi's back until she completely disappeared from his sight. He raised his head, looked at the starry night sky of Floating Cloud City, and whispered to himself, "It's been so fast, seven years already..."
He felt very peaceful at the moment, because under Jasmine's powerful strength, he no longer needed to worry about anything, be afraid of anything, or calculate anything. Nothing could threaten him and the safety of the people around him. Even the Four Sacred Grounds had to cower in front of him.
Looking back on the past seven years, what I owe the most is the debt of love.
Little fairy, this time, I will definitely find you...
Ling'er, soon, I will go to Cangyun Continent to find you, bring you with me, and compensate you for all that I owe you in this life and the last life.
Caiyi... you must be worried about me in the Illusory Demon Realm. After Xue'er and I complete the engagement ceremony, I will take Xue'er, Yue'er, and Lingxi back together.
And Qingyue... where on earth did you go...
…………
After that, he cultivated his profound strength under Jasmine’s guidance until he could kill Xuanyuan Wentian with his own hands and compete with the Four Sacred Grounds… Although, to grow to the strength to compete with the Ten Thousand Years Sacred Grounds in just twenty-four years was simply a fantasy for others, but Yun Che was very sure that with his physique, bloodline, profound veins, and profound skills that were far superior to those of ordinary people, plus Jasmine’s personal teaching, twenty-four years would be more than enough.
It might even be possible within ten years!
By then, he would become a truly invincible existence in the Profound Sky Continent. After all his wishes and grudges were fulfilled, there would be no one who could threaten him anymore. Whether it was the Profound Sky Continent, the Illusory Demon Realm, or even the Azure Cloud Continent where he would soon go, he could run rampant without fear. All the people who were important to him would be safe and sound for the rest of their lives under his protection...
Wasn't it for this goal that I desperately pursued power...
And yet, just seven short years have passed, and this goal that I once thought I would have to spend my entire life pursuing is now so close that I can almost touch it - I can even say that I have already achieved it.
“Jasmine, as long as you are here, there won’t be any more dangers in my life, and there won’t be any major disturbances either.” Yun Che muttered in a low voice with an inexplicable melancholy.
"What? Do you like being half dead all the time like before?" Jasmine's unpleasant voice came from the air.
“Of course not, it’s just… it always feels a little unrealistic. And what should I do in the future? Should I continue to be the Palace Master of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, or return to the Illusory Demon Realm to be a Demon King, or…” Yun Che was struggling with this, and suddenly changed the subject: “Jasmine, are you really not going to come out and let Grandpa and the others meet you? They really want to know what you look like.”
"Hmph!" Jasmine snorted coldly and ignored him.
Yun Che: “…”
——————————
Yun Che stayed in Floating Cloud City for three days, and in Blue Wind Imperial City for another three days, and then returned to the Ice Extreme Snow Region in order to speed up his recovery. Xia Yuanba and Feng Xue'er returned to the Imperial Extreme Holy Land and the Phoenix Divine Sect respectively.
After returning to Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, Yun Che realized that everyone in the palace had already known what happened at the Devil Sword Conference… and it was not just them. It was estimated that everyone in the entire Profound Sky Continent knew about it. Even the engagement banquet between him and Princess Snow had spread throughout the Profound Sky Continent… and the momentum of the spread was unprecedented. As a result, the royal palaces and nobles of the seven countries, as well as the Xuan Xiu forces, whether they were invited or not, were all tossing and turning, preparing day and night, fearing that they would be negligent.
The shock caused in the Profound Sky Continent was comparable to that in the Illusory Demon Realm after the Little Demon Queen announced that she would marry Yun Che—and it was only an engagement party.
However, Yun Che was not surprised by this. In this world where power was respected and the Four Sacred Grounds were supreme, everyone knew what it meant to have an existence that could completely crush the Four Sacred Grounds.
That is the absolute king of this world!!
It is an existence that we must curry favor with as much as possible, but must not neglect or offend under any circumstances!
In addition, the royal families and major forces of the six countries as well as the major sects of Shenhuang have always been subservient to the power of Shenhuang Sect. This time, there will be no neglect at all.
The Phoenix Divine Sect, which already had great hidden dangers, would never let go of this opportunity, and would certainly spare no effort to fan the flames of this engagement banquet, hoping that everyone in the Profound Sky Continent, young and old, women and children, would know that with Yun Che (their master), a great backer who had frightened the four major sacred places into silence, they would no longer have to worry day and night about the news of the Phoenix God's death leaking out.
Yun Che checked the profound energy of Bingyun’s disciples one by one. After confirming that there was no negative influence left by the Overlord Pill, he began to concentrate and enter a state of recovery.
In the environment of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, his injuries, profound strength, and Phoenix blood and Golden Crow blood all recovered very quickly. However, Jasmine could tell at a glance that he had not completely entered the state of concentration.
"What are you thinking about? Are you afraid that someone will suddenly drop from the sky and attack you?"
Jasmine suddenly appeared and said coldly.
Yun Che opened his eyes, hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Jasmine, your current strength is far superior to your previous soul state. Shouldn't you be able to find the little fairy easily?"
“…” Jasmine turned her gaze away from Yun Che very calmly and said indifferently, “I have said before that my current strength is less than 10% of my full state. Chu Yuechan’s profound energy aura is too weak, and there are too many living beings in the Profound Sky Continent. In my current state, I still cannot find her among the auras of so many living beings… At least, I have to wait until I recover to about 50% of my strength.”
“…Oh.” Yun Che did not continue to insist, but simply responded.
Jasmine did not allow Yun Che to see her eyes, and she also did not see the change in Yun Che’s eyes.
Yun Che always remembered that Jasmine had said that as long as she purified the devil poison, she would be able to easily find Chu Yuechan’s location… and what she was referring to at that time was obviously the power in the soul state.
But later, after the demonic poison was purified and Jasmine could use the power of her soul at will, she said after trying that she had overestimated herself and did not have the ability to find it, and that she had to rebuild her body before she could do so.
Now that her body has been rebuilt, she said that she needs to recover about 50% of her strength...
He didn't say it, nor did he dare to say it. Instead, he used his utmost willpower to force himself to believe that Jasmine really didn't have the ability to do it for the time being... If he didn't say it, he could still try to hold on to good hopes. If he did, maybe... even his fantasy would be shattered.
As the person who knows Yun Che best, how could Jasmine not notice what Yun Che is thinking. Over the years, Yun Che's greatest desire has always been to find Chu Yuechan. However, seven days have passed since she reshaped her body, and during these seven days, Yun Che has never taken the initiative to ask her to find Chu Yuechan with her current strength... Obviously, he has already noticed it.
Jasmine felt an inexplicable depression in her heart, and the heavy feeling made her even feel a little suffocated. She slowed down her breathing and said in a soft voice, "Although I still can't find a single person among tens of billions of living beings, I can easily locate the location of Cangyun Continent."
"Maybe, I can find the place you returned to last time under the power of the evil god's residual soul... If I remember correctly, that place is a place called Fusu Country in Cangyun Continent. To be more specific, it is Taisu Mountain in the Jiangdong area of Fusu Country."
“…” Yun Che nodded slightly. Jasmine remembered correctly that the place where he and Xia Qingyue had landed in the Cangyun Continent in the “dream” was at the foot of Taisu Mountain in Fusu Country… Su Ling’er was the daughter of Su Hengshan, the master of Taisu Sect.
Jasmine did not finish her words. She closed her eyes, and her incomparably powerful spiritual sense instantly spread out, covering this huge world with an intensity that Yun Che could not understand... Hundreds of thousands of miles... Hundreds of thousands of miles... Millions of miles...
She would find out the location of Cangyun Continent right now, and she was also trying to give Yun Che some "comfort".
Jasmine’s consciousness swept across the vast ocean and finally touched another continent on this planet outside of the Profound Sky Continent and the Illusory Demon Realm.
In terms of territory, the Illusory Demon Realm was larger than the Profound Sky Continent, while this continent was slightly smaller than the Profound Sky Continent. However, its elemental laws, natural laws, and order laws... especially the time fault that had once caused her confusion, were exactly the same as what she had noticed back then.
Cangyun Continent!!
Its distance was far beyond Jasmine’s expectations. No wonder there were almost no records of Azure Cloud Continent in the Profound Sky Continent.
After finding the location of the Blue Cloud Continent, Jasmine did not withdraw her spiritual consciousness, but instead focused it on this continent. Because she had just said that she wanted to directly find the location of Taisu Mountain in Fusu Country. Yun Che had always longed to go to the Blue Cloud Continent, and Su Ling'er, who was still alive in the world like a dream, was the only reason.
Time passed in silence. Yun Che could not sense any profound energy flowing through Jasmine’s body, but he could sense that she was in a state of extreme concentration.
Half a minute passed, and Yun Che's eyes were fixed on Jasmine... At this moment, he suddenly saw Jasmine's whole body tremble, and her eyes suddenly opened. In her pupils that suddenly dilated, there was a hint of deep shock...
And horror!!
“What’s wrong?” Yun Che asked in a panic. He was not mistaken. He clearly saw fear in Jasmine’s eyes when she opened them… In this world, what could possibly frighten Jasmine?!
“…” Jasmine remained silent for a long time, but her slightly raised chest rose and fell violently. After a long while, she took a long breath and suddenly asked in an extremely low voice: “Yun Che, you once told me that your life in Cangyun Continent ended after you jumped off a place called ‘Absolute Cloud Cliff’!?”
“Yes.” Yun Che nodded woodenly: “Why do you ask this?”
“Where is that ‘Cloudless Cliff’ in Azure Cloud Continent!?” Jasmine’s tone was still low: “Is it in the southeast?”
