Fights Break Sphere: Purple Thunder Emperor

Chapter 351 Tough Life, Won't Die
"Excellent use of space!"

With a hissing sound, a huge rift suddenly opened in space, and a burly figure stepped out as if traversing layers of space. A powerful pressure descended suddenly, instantly spreading throughout the void.

Qinglin's face changed, and she hurriedly walked to Xiao Bai's side. A faint blue light appeared in her eyes, and two figures could be vaguely seen poised to attack.

"The Jade Serpent's Three-Flower Pupil? I haven't seen that in years. But I'm not one of those little mudskippers; your eyes are useless against me!"

The burly man paused slightly when he saw the three small flowers slowly rotating in the eyes, then chuckled.

"The Ancient Dragon of the Void!"

Xiao Bai narrowed his eyes and pulled Qing Lin behind him. He was all too familiar with the aura of the Ancient Void Dragon and the dragon's might it exuded.

A hint of wariness flickered in his eyes. He didn't know whether this dragon was friend or foe, or which island of the Ancient Dragon Island it belonged to.
"Ok?"

The burly man was surprised to be recognized at a glance. He had just been passing by when he sensed that someone here was using spatial abilities quite well, so he came over out of curiosity.

"Wait a minute, why do you have the aura of an 'emperor' on you?"

The burly man carefully examined Xiao Bai, suddenly sensing a trace of his remaining aura. Startled, he lifted his foot, about to step forward, but then paused. His domineering eyes darted around, as if remembering something, and suddenly became simple and honest, excitedly saying:

"I know, you're Brother Xiao Bai. You spoke to my Empress on the battlefield that day, and I, Lao Hei, said that your voice sounded somewhat familiar!"

"Hehe. What a coincidence! I was just about to look for you, and I didn't expect to run into you here. It seems we have quite a connection!"

"Old Hei is looking for me?"

Xiao Bai was slightly taken aback, his eyes flashing with thought, and he tentatively asked, "Are you Hei Qing from Donglong Island, the one who took Zi Yan away in Tianbei City?"

"Haha. It seems the Empress mentioned me in the message she left you. That's great! I was worried you might misunderstand because you weren't familiar with the people of Dragon Island!"

Seeing that Xiao Bai knew him, Hei Qing seemed extremely happy. He quickly suppressed his imposing aura, walked over, patted Xiao Bai's shoulder affectionately, and laughed loudly:

"No wonder the Empress has her eye on him. His spatial talent is almost on par with some of my own people!"

Feeling the immense force on his shoulder, Xiao Bai's lips twitched. Was this how the Ancient Dragon of the Void expressed its enthusiasm?
If it were a Dou Huang (Battle Emperor), his shoulder would probably have been smashed to pieces!

A strange light flashed in Hei Qing's eyes. The previous vague sensation from that slap was now clearer. Xiao Bai's physical body had definitely been strengthened by the essence blood of the Ancient Void Dragon.

Moreover, that essence blood seemed to suppress his bloodline, proving that the guesses of the old guys in the clan were indeed correct!
"Since I've run into you here, I don't need to go to Zhongzhou anymore. Come on, let's go to Donglong Island. The Empress often talks about you!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, creating a rift in the space in front of him. He then put his arm around Xiao Bai's shoulder and tried to pull him inside, muttering to himself:
"Let me tell you, you're a celebrity on Donglong Island now. Everyone wants to meet the one the Queen mentioned."

Seeing that Xiao Bai remained motionless, Hei Qing turned his head and looked over, his honest-looking face full of confusion:
"What's going on, Brother Xiao Bai?"

Xiao Bai shook his head with a wry smile, feeling somewhat helpless towards this overly familiar, burly man. The guy kept talking nonstop, never giving him a chance to speak.

"Uh, black."

"Brother Xiao, if you don't mind, you can call me Brother Hei, or Lao Hei, it's all fine!"

Seeing that he seemed a little unsure of how to address him, Hei Qing patted his chest and laughed heartily.

Although he was much older, in this world where strength is paramount, age is not the deciding factor; cultivation level is far more important.

Within Xiao Bai's body, there seemed to be an aura as deep and boundless as the sea, which made him feel suppressed in the dark. His spiritual senses throbbed, giving him a sense of trepidation, so he did not put on airs as a senior.

"Alright, Brother Hei, I can't leave here today. Please allow me to visit Zi Yan on Donglong Island another day."

Xiao Bai nodded, his expression turning serious, and said solemnly.

Hei Qing came to see him, probably because he had something to discuss. But things have priorities, and Hei Qing's expression indicated that his matter wasn't urgent. So he needed to find Yun Yun first, otherwise he wouldn't be able to rest easy.

"Brother Xiao, have you run into some trouble? Do you need my help?"

Seeing that Xiao Bai didn't seem to be joking, and that there was a hint of anxiety between his brows, Hei Qing stopped mentioning the trip to Donglong Island and began to inquire whether Xiao Bai had encountered any difficulties.

Xiao Bai's eyes lit up. This time, he patted Hei Qing's arm and said with a smile, "Perfect timing. I need to borrow your talent to sense the spatial fluctuations in this place three days ago. Is that alright?"

As a darling of the space, and with Hei Qing's cultivation of at least a seven-star Dou Zun, the Ancient Dragon of the Void was like a fish in water in the void, making him much easier to find than Hei Qing.

"no problem!"

Hei Qing nodded in agreement, and couldn't help but grin as he felt the force on his arm.

This Brother Xiao, what a small heart, what a strong physique!
"Brother Xiao's physical body is probably not much worse than our Ancient Void Dragon!" Hei Qing exclaimed sincerely.

"Brother Hei, let's get started without delay," Xiao Bai said seriously.

Hei Qing nodded, his expression turning serious.

He took a deep breath, formed a hand seal, and a faint silver light emanated from his body. A strange fluctuation spread from his body, and the surrounding void rippled like the surface of water.

He let out a low shout, his eyes snapping open, pupils turning silver-white. He carefully sensed the fluctuations in the surrounding space, tracing the traces from three days ago.

"found it!"

A certain place in Zhongzhou.

On a mountain peak shrouded in mist.

Before the morning dew had dried, the bamboo shadows swayed gently, and occasionally a bird would flutter its wings and fly by, carrying a few fluttering petals.

At the mountain peak, a small bamboo courtyard can be vaguely seen hidden under ancient vines.

At this moment, in a quiet bamboo house in the courtyard, a woman in green sat by the window, her cheek resting on her hand. A hint of sorrow appeared in her beautiful amber eyes as she stared blankly at the drifting clouds outside the window.

Judging from her face, it was none other than Yun Yun, whom Xiao Bai had been searching for.

"Ugh"

After a long pause, Yun Yun sighed softly and murmured:
"I wonder if Qinglin is out of danger yet?"

Thinking of this, Yun Yun reached out and stroked the pendant on her chest, her beautiful eyes gentle, as if filled with endless tenderness:
"Ah Niu, where are you? Are you alright?"

She bit her red lips. Xiao Bai had promised to return in three years, but he had never shown up. It wasn't until Qing Lin returned from the Heavenly Serpent Palace that she decided to travel around the Central Plains and look for her young master.

After discussing it with Cai Lin, she and Qing Lin came to Zhongzhou to find him. Unexpectedly, the space wormhole in Tianya City suddenly malfunctioned, causing the two of them to drift into the void and encounter spatial turbulence.

And she eventually fell to this spot.

After sitting there for a while, Yunyun carefully placed the pendant into the full cleavage of her chest, then got up and walked out of the bamboo house.

Entering a kitchen next door, she, who had never lifted a finger since childhood, surprisingly began to skillfully start a fire and cook porridge.

About half an hour later, she ladled the fragrant congee from the pot into a bowl, took it outside, and placed it on the stone table in the courtyard.

Then, she gently knocked on a quaint, green bamboo house not far away, her voice soft: "Grandma, breakfast is ready." There was a moment of silence inside, then a cold snort suddenly came from within: "Eat by yourself. Once you're healed, leave quickly and don't disturb this old woman's peace and quiet!"

Yun Yun wasn't annoyed, but said gently, "Then I'll keep it warm in the pot for you."

She then went to the stone table and elegantly began to drink her porridge. She didn't know the old woman's name; she only knew that she had fallen onto this mountain peak three days ago and woke up in the small house she had just moved into.

She initially thought the old woman was a senior, but no matter how she sensed her, there was no energy fluctuation in her body, and she walked with a limp, looking just like an ordinary old woman.

So after she recovered from her injury, seeing that the old woman had difficulty moving around, she volunteered to take on the task of cooking.

Ever since being teased by that little guy A Niu in the Monster Mountain Range for not knowing how to cook, she started secretly learning cooking skills after returning to the Yunlan Sect, and now she has made some progress.

Inside the bamboo house, an old woman with a full head of silver hair sat cross-legged on the bamboo bed. Her silver hair was casually tied into a loose bun. The subtle contours of her face showed the traces of time, but her former radiant beauty was still evident.

At this moment, her slightly bright eyes looked towards Yun Yun's direction, as if she could see the scene outside through the bamboo house. Her eyes were calm and still, making it impossible to see her inner emotions.

Suddenly, her eyes flickered, and she abruptly looked up, squinting as she gazed at the void above the mountain peak.

"Ha! They actually barged right into this old woman's place. The people from the sects outside are getting more and more incompetent!"

As she spoke, she slowly got up and walked unhurriedly toward the door.

"squeak"

Yun Yun was sipping her congee with her head down when she heard the door open. A smile flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she was about to speak when she suddenly sensed a subtle spatial fluctuation.

She looked up abruptly and saw a dark crack appear in the void not far away, from which several figures stepped out.

The leader was dressed in a black robe, with a handsome face and a mixture of anxiety and surprise in his eyes.

When she saw that familiar face, the porcelain bowl in Yunyun's hand fell to the ground with a "clatter" and shattered into several pieces.

"Ah Niu?!" Her voice trembled slightly, almost unable to believe her eyes.

Xiao Bai's gaze sharpened, instantly locking onto the figure in green, a look of wild joy flashing in his eyes: "Yun'er!"

He flashed across dozens of feet, instantly appearing in front of Yun Yun. He grabbed her shoulders tightly, looked her up and down, and asked urgently, "Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

Yun Yun's eyes were slightly red, and she gently shook her head: "I'm fine, it's just..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Bai had already pulled her into his arms, so tightly that she could hardly breathe.

"That's wonderful, really wonderful," Xiao Bai murmured softly, his voice trembling slightly, a mixture of joy at having something lost and fear at having it back.

Yun Yun paused, sensing his excitement, a gentle smile appearing on her lips. She reached out and gently wrapped her arms around his waist, softly saying:

"Well, I'm fine."

Hei Qing, standing to the side, scratched his head and chuckled, "Brother Xiao, is this the person you're looking for?"

Xiao Bai then came to his senses, released Yun Yun but still held her hand tightly, and nodded:
"Yes, she is the one I'm looking for."

Hei Qing grinned and said cheerfully, "Hello, sister-in-law! My name is Hei Qing, a friend of Brother Xiao!"

Yun Yun's cheeks flushed slightly as she looked at the faint pressure emanating from Hei Qing, and she was slightly startled.

Such a powerful aura! This Black Qi is far more powerful than the aura of Yaotianhuo.

However, being the head of a sect, she possessed a certain composure and grace. With a charming smile, she gracefully performed a bow.
"Senior Black Steel."

Hei Qing waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, calling me senior is too formal. Just call me Brother Hei like Brother Xiao does!"

Yun Yun smiled and nodded.

Just then, a cold snort came from inside the bamboo house:
"Hmph, trespassing on this old woman's territory without even a greeting. Young people these days really don't know any manners anymore."

“Ah Niu, this is Grandma. She saved me after I fell out of the void.”

Yun Yun held Xiao Bai's arm tightly, knowing his temperament well. He would treat others with respect, but the reverse was also true. Fearing he might be displeased, she quickly reminded him:
"Your mother-in-law is just an ordinary person, don't blame her!"

Xiao Bai looked at the nervous, 'silly' woman beside him and was speechless. Why would you call a peak Dou Zun, or even a Dou Zun peak expert who had entered the Transcendent Realm, an ordinary person?

"Xiao Bai, thank you Sect Leader Hua for rescuing my wife. I was anxious to find her and have disturbed you without permission. Please forgive me!"

Xiao Bai bowed respectfully. The moment he arrived, he already knew who this person was. However, he couldn't help but find it amusing. Yun'er must be connected to the Flower Sect, right?
You could fall into a wormhole and end up here.

"The Flower Sect Master?!"

Yun Yun's mouth was slightly open, no longer caring about being shy. Her beautiful eyes kept scanning Granny Hua and Xiao Bai, and she was deeply shocked.

This mother-in-law, whom she thought was just an ordinary person, turned out to be a sect leader?
Moreover, judging from Ah Niu's expression, this sect leader is likely to be extraordinary. In comparison, she, the sect leader of Yunlan Sect, is not worth mentioning at all.

"Humph!"

Upon hearing Xiao Bai's name, a strange light flashed in her eyes. She glanced at Yun Yun, and Granny Hua's mood seemed to worsen instantly. She waved her hand to shoo her away.

"Now that you've found them, take them away quickly. This isn't Ice River Valley or Wind and Thunder Pavilion; don't get in my way here!"

"Uh"

Xiao Bai was taken aback. This was the first time he had ever been treated this way. He was both amused and exasperated. Just as he was about to take his leave, an old voice suddenly rang out.

"Hehe. Hua Yu, you're too heartless! An old friend comes to visit, and instead of offering a seat and tea, you just kick them out!"

The ring flashed with a faint light, and Yao Lao appeared, his aged face bearing a smile reminiscing about the past.

He stroked his beard and looked at Granny Hua with a smile in his eyes.

Granny Hua's previously indifferent expression suddenly changed. Her eyes widened slightly as she stared intently at the old medicine man, her voice trembling slightly:

"Medicine dust?!"

The old doctor laughed heartily and stood with his hands behind his back: "I didn't expect that after so many years, you would still remember me."

Granny Hua's cane trembled slightly, and a complex expression flashed in her eyes, including shock, nostalgia, and even a hint of deeply hidden resentment.

She took a deep breath and said coldly:

"You're actually still alive?"

The old doctor shrugged: "He's tough; he won't die."
