"Sister...sister, save me..."
"waste!"
Jiang Yunlan snorted coldly, seeming very dissatisfied with Jiang Mang's performance.
She slowly turned around, her eyes fell coldly on Xue Qing behind Chen Yang, and a mocking arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Isn't this Xue Qing, the Snow Fairy, who was once revered by the world as the Thousand Knots of Formation Spirits?"
"During the catastrophe a hundred years ago, I thought you had perished. I never thought we would meet again in this lifetime."
"But you haven't changed at all. You're still just a little dog behind Brother Chen Yang."
"Oh, no, I said the wrong thing."
"You've changed. You've become incredibly weak. Back then, you could create hundreds of Saint-level killing formations with a single wave of your hand, but now you're so weak after only creating a trapping formation that's not even mid-level."
“It’s really funny.”
Facing Jiang Yunlan's merciless ridicule, Xue Qing just smiled faintly, as if those sharp words were just a spring breeze passing by, without stirring up any ripples in her heart.
"You're right. I'm really weak right now. I can't even form a decent killing formation."
Xue Qing's tone was calm, with a hint of self-mockery, but without any shame or anger.
She slowly raised her slender hand and gently stroked her pale fingertips, as if admiring a precious work of art.
"But, Jiang Yunlan, do you understand that some things are far more important than strength?"
Xue Qing's gaze passed Jiang Yunlan and fell on the trembling figure behind her, and a mocking arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"You can sacrifice everything for power, but I am willing to give up all my power to protect the one I love."
As she spoke, Xue Qing grasped the warm and broad hand that was blocking her way, interlocking their fingers, like a perfect couple that could not be separated by any storm.
"Chen Yang, do you still remember? When we met again this time, you said that you would protect me with your life and not let me get hurt in the slightest."
Xue Qing's voice was soft and sweet, like the whispers between lovers, which was out of tune with the tense atmosphere.
"Of course I remember."
Chen Yang held Xue Qing's hand in return, his firm gaze seemed to be able to penetrate all obstacles and fell on her face, his tone gentle and firm.
"What I said will never change."
"If that's the case, then everything I've done is worth it."
When Xue heard Chen Yang's words, her always calm face suddenly broke into a perfect smile, which made everyone present's heart skip a beat.
See the two people's actions and hear the extremely intimate conversation between them.
The expression on Jiang Yunlan's face froze instantly, as if she had been slapped hard in the face, and her face became extremely ugly.
"Impossible! This is impossible!" Jiang Yunlan screamed, her tone full of disbelief and jealousy.
"He is no longer the stunning genius he was a hundred years ago. He is now a useless person!"
"How could you, the great Snow Fairy, fall for this piece of trash!"
"He is now nothing but a useless person without any spiritual roots. He can't even practice cultivation. How can he gain your favor?"
"Why?"
Xue Qing chuckled, her eyes flickering with a hint of cunning and complacency.
"Just because he's Chen Yang, a man who saved the world, is that enough?"
boom!
These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears. Everyone turned their heads to look at the broad figure, their minds frozen.
Li Qingge, in particular, was trembling noticeably, and her eyes kept moving back and forth between Xue Qing and Chen Yang.
Her idea...was right!
Dead silence!
The silence was so dead that you could hear a pin drop!
Everyone seemed to be under a spell of freezing, standing there blankly with empty eyes, as if they had lost the ability to think.
Their eyes were fixed on Chen Yang, trying to find a flaw, a trace of falsehood on that extremely masculine and handsome face.
However, no matter how they observed or thought about it, they could not find any flaws in that face.
“This… How is this possible?!”
Finally, someone broke the silence, his voice trembling and full of disbelief.
"Qingyun Sword Immortal?! What you just said means that he is Qingyun Sword Immortal?!"
"Are you kidding me?! Qingyun Sword Immortal was a figure from a hundred years ago, and he's already..."
"Shut up! Do you want to die?!"
Before the man could finish his words, his companion covered his mouth with his hand. He looked around in horror, afraid that someone would hear him.
The name of Qingyun Sword Immortal is known to everyone in the Eastern Wilderness Continent.
One hundred years ago, foreign invaders invaded and the Eastern Wilderness Continent fell into chaos. Countless sects and families were slaughtered and countless lives were lost. Just when everyone thought that the continent was about to fall, the Qingyun Sword Immortal appeared out of nowhere!
With his own strength, he turned the tide and annihilated the demon army without leaving a single one alive. In the end, he even entered the foreign land alone and turned the world upside down!
Even after doing all this, they are willing to sacrifice everything to prevent aliens or other creatures from invading again to stabilize the world that is about to break apart!
From then on, the foreign evil demons never set foot on the Eastern Wasteland Continent again, and the Qingyun Sword Immortal became the faith in the hearts of all the cultivators in the Eastern Wasteland Continent and was hailed as the savior!
However, the rumors about Qingyun Sword Immortal only stopped there. No one knew his real name, and no one even knew what he looked like.
The only thing that is certain is that Qingyun Sword Immortal’s strength is unfathomable, and he is definitely the top existence standing in the Eastern Wilderness Continent!
Moreover, it is widely rumored that the Qingyun Sword Immortal who was seriously injured that day should have been recuperating in the Floating Light Holy Land.
The same is true for the major forces that send various precious items to the Floating Light Holy Land every ten years.
And now, the Qingyun Sword Immortal has reappeared in the world, not to mention his only foundation-building cultivation level.
Why is the Floating Light Holy Land, which is supposed to protect and heal him, still chasing him?
How could this not shock them?!
On the side, Jiang Yunlan, who was originally like a fairy in the sky, was struck by lightning and her delicate body trembled violently.
Her beautiful eyes were wide open, and the contempt and ridicule in them were gone, replaced by deep astonishment and disbelief.
How dare she?!
This bitch actually dared to reveal Chen Yang's identity in front of so many people?!
Jiang Yunlan's heart was filled with shock. She had separated a strand of her origin and sent it here today, intending to nip all threats in the bud.
After all, even for a behemoth like the Floating Light Holy Land, if the news of Chen Yang breaking off ties with it were to spread, the trouble would be enormous!
But she never expected that Xue Qing would be so crazy and do such a thing!
