Just then, the previously restless crowd fell silent, with only the sound of raindrops falling to the ground in the air. Although she didn't turn around, Yi Jiang could sense that someone was coming. Her lips trembled slightly, and her eyes were filled with disbelief. Why... at this time of all?

She turned abruptly and rushed toward the small figure walking through the mountain gate in the rain. The person in front of her was none other than Yi Xue, whom they had been searching for day and night.

"Why...why did you only come back now? Do you know how worried we were..."

Yi Jiang fought back tears, repeatedly questioning them in a low voice, trying not to let her loss of composure affect her disciples' morale, but she really...

"Xue'er!"

"Junior Brother Xiang..."

"Junior brother."

The voices of Yi Xuan, Mu He'er, and the others rang out one after another. Yi Xue gently comforted Yi Jiang in her arms while looking at the three people beside her. There was no joy in her eyes at the reunion, only helplessness and reluctance.

He spoke slowly, the sound of rain drowning out the voice that should have been clearly heard by everyone, but Yi Xuan could still hear him.

"Feel sorry."

Just as everyone was immersed in the bittersweet emotions of reunion, a deep, vast, and pure black etheric torrent rose from Yi Xue's body.

The dark ether surged like an abyss, spreading outwards gently yet domineeringly, softly separating the crowd that gathered around, and steadily protecting Mu He'er, Yi Xuan, and their close relatives behind them, not allowing them to get even a step closer.

At the same time, a sudden change occurred.

The Qingming Sword, which was originally carried on Yi Jiang's back, had its scabbard strips torn apart and scattered in the wind. As if sensing something, she unleashed a sharp sword aura from the sword, instantly breaking through the layers of restraints that bound her and flying towards Yi Xue's direction with a fierce sword intent.

"Varied!"

Yi Jiang subconsciously reached out to grab something, but couldn't grasp anything.

Yi Xue raised her hand and lightly gripped the sword hilt with her five fingers.

"Buzz--!"

A clear and resonant sword cry echoed throughout the entire Yunkui Mountain, halting the rain.

At the same time, a golden ether condensed into a rune between his brows, like a divinely bestowed Dao seal, and pierced straight into the core of the Azure Sea Sword, which was constantly radiating light.

"Qingming, Ding!"

Yi Jiang shuddered and collapsed to the ground, feeling utterly powerless. She could feel the connection that had bound her for so many years like shackles being forcibly severed.

Yi Jiang stood there in the cold rain, her pupils trembling slightly, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Raindrops drifted down, landing on Yi Xue's youthful yet weathered face, washing away the dust and grime of his months of wandering.

He held a three-foot-long azure sword in his hand, standing tall and straight like a pine tree in the center of the mountain gate amidst the rain. His eyes, which looked at everyone, were filled with a tenderness that made her feel breathless.

No...don't...Yi Jiang tried to shout, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make a sound.

Yi Xue looked at Yi Jiang, whose eyes were filled with tears, at Mu He'er, whose eyes were full of concern, at Yi Xuan and Mo Yun'er, who were stunned, and at the group of disciples of the mountain gate behind her, who were fully prepared and full of righteousness. She parted her lips slightly and her clear and steady voice fell into everyone's ears.

"Gentlemen."

"I am the Master of the Azure Sea Sword."

"He is also... the thirteenth generation sect leader of Yunkui Mountain."

Chapter 133 Alone

The rain fell softly, and the mountain gate remained silent.

Yi Jiang and the others were enveloped by the barrier created by the Xuanmo technique, standing there stunned and speechless for a moment. Yi Xuan was the most shocked. The Xuanmo technique had just been completed, how could Xue'er have...

The boy in front of me still had the same features, but his demeanor was so unfamiliar that he seemed like a completely different person.

At this moment, the core of the Azure Sea Sword, which was tightly gripped in her palm, began to circulate wildly. The vast and boundless energy surged into Yi Xue's body through her arm and flowed through her limbs and bones.

These two completely contradictory energies were harmonized and merged by Yi Xue, forming a completely different energy. This power constantly nourished him, making him stronger than the previous second at every moment.

A sudden gust of wind arose, and raindrops flew wildly across the sky.

Yi Xue loosened her hair, and her jet-black hair lost all its impurities, becoming as white as snow, ethereal and otherworldly. On her forehead, two strands of ether, like strands of black silk, slowly converged, transforming into a pair of translucent and sharp blue-white dragon horns.

His usually clear and bright ice-blue eyes now turned a fiery red, shining brightly, and contained an overwhelming determination to burn away all falsehoods and suppress all evil spirits.

"Gentlemen, Yun Kui Mountain has a rule that whoever inherits the Azure Sea Sword will become the sect master. Is that correct?"

After the words were spoken, everyone present remained in shock, and no one uttered a sound.

"Today, I, Chengjian, ascend to the throne as the thirteenth sect leader of Yunkui Mountain. It is the rightful and proper title. Do you have any objections?"

No one responded. However, no matter how vehemently Yi Jiang and the others objected, their voices were completely blocked by the Xuanmo barrier, and not a single sound could be heard. From the very beginning, Yi Xue had intended to take all the responsibility for becoming the sect leader of Yun Kui Mountain upon herself.

Subsequently, Yi Xue issued his first "ironclad decree" since assuming the position of sect leader.

"Yun Kui Mountain belongs to the garrison to guard against any unusual movements by the Lemnian Sky. I alone am sufficient to support the frontline battles."

The entire audience was in an uproar. How much confidence must a person have to say something like that?

But the sect leader's current appearance made them feel that even if they all went, they would probably not be as useful as the sect leader alone.

As for the municipal government's pursuit of accountability, the municipal government will not pursue it. Yun Kui Mountain has already done its duty by guarding Wei Fei Land and receiving refugees. Moreover, Yi Xue will make enough merits in the Zero Void as the sect leader of Yun Kui Mountain to offset the responsibility.

Yun Kui Mountain will not become the target of everyone's attacks; as the sect leader, he will protect everyone.

Before returning to Yun Kui Mountain, he had already asked Hong Dou to post on the rope net, instructing the residents not to worry about rumors and public opinion online, as Yun Kui Mountain would protect the non-local area as always.

"Those who disobey will be expelled from the sect!"

The ultimatum fell, cold and resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.

Yi Xue lightly touched the ground with her feet, and the Qingming Sword rose into the air, carrying her figure slowly upwards. Flying on a sword was a scene she had imagined many times, but at this moment, she felt little of the novelty and joy of experiencing it for the first time.

Yun Kui Mountain is situated on a high mountain, and at this moment, it can overlook the entire Wei Fei Land.

The moment she steadied herself, Yi Xue raised her hand and formed a hand seal. The rich and profound Xuanmo Ether surged out from within her body, and the dark light spread across the sky, threatening to envelop the entire Weifei Land.

"out!"

A deep shout reverberated through the sky.

Four majestic and imposing beast shadows surged forth from his body. These were the Four Sacred Beast Shadows, which he had condensed based on his memories from his previous life using the Xuanmo Technique: the winding and powerful Azure Dragon, the fiery and outstretched Vermilion Bird, the solemn and awe-inspiring White Tiger, and the heavy and earth-suppressing Black Tortoise.

Four beastly figures, each with its own unique charm, stood beside Yi Xue, their background color being dark ink.

"go with!"

The four sages of Xuanmo simultaneously roared to the sky, their earth-shattering roars breaking through the rain and scattering the dark clouds, before heading off to the four cardinal directions of Weifei.

East of Qinglong Town, south of Zhuque Town, west of Baihu Town, and north of Xuanwu Town.

Yi Xue changed her finger seals again, and Xuanmo Yi Tai intertwined and crisscrossed the sky. With the four sacred beasts as the array eyes and array guides, a super giant array covering the entire Weifei land slowly took shape and spread across the world.

This magic array can resist etheric erosion, and the four Xuanmo Saints, serving as the array's core, will not disappear but will continue to fight in beast form, absorbing the etheric energy from the invading Yihai.

Provide energy to the magic circle.

This formation only allows entry, not exit, unless he dispels it voluntarily, or...

The depletion of ether within her body caused Yi Xue to feel dizzy, and she almost fell to the ground. She quickly steadied herself and then asked in a low voice.

"How much ether was used just now?"

"Ninety-nine percent." Xi Long's voice echoed in his mind, followed by Hui Long's addition: "You're pushing yourself too hard."

"How long will it take to replenish?"

“It would take some time at other times, but today…”

After saying that, the two dragons chuckled and fell silent again. However, the sound-powered [Fen Yue Su Hui] on their wrists began to stir restlessly. The originally inconspicuous metal sphere suddenly exploded, turning into two constantly rotating sun and moon wheels. The sun and moon wheels continued to expand until they became two light screens like exhibition stands. The light screens swept across the entire body, transforming into a suit of armor like a knight.

"This is……"

The moment the armor covered her body, Yi Xue felt a sense of wonder and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"This is the power we gave you before, which is being used through the device on your arm."

Yi Xue clenched her fist slightly to feel it. She had previously felt that the child's body was too troublesome to fight with, but this armor solved the problem. Moreover, it moved as if it were her own body, without feeling sluggish.

Yi Xue slowly turned around and looked at Yun Kui and the others behind her. Yi Jiang and the others were still trying their best to knock on the barrier in front of them, but the barrier did not budge. They could only watch helplessly as Yi Xue went to the battlefield alone.

Don't go!

Without needing to guess, Yi Xue could understand what the others wanted to say. But if he really couldn't stay, wouldn't he also want to stay by their side, indulging in their tenderness day and night? But was that really possible?

The answer is no. Without someone bearing the burden, such days cannot continue. No matter what world you are in, protecting your home and country seems to be an eternal topic, but he has always been too lazy to argue about it.

Yi Xue is very lazy. When the system reminds him to get up and exercise every day, he doesn't really want to respond because he's too lazy. So at this time, he's also too lazy to argue with others about who should step forward.

He is not great. In fact, Yi Xue is an extremely selfish person. He only wants to defy heaven and earth because he does not want the happiness he has to be taken away. He wants to stop the calamity that is enough to devour everything in front of what he is protecting. No one can take away what is his.

"Ah……"

He smiled. In less than a year, he had been very happy, happier than in his entire previous life. The people of Yunkui Mountain had shown him how wonderful it is to have expectations for life.

Yi Jiang and the others were stunned. In a daze, they saw through the crystal-like eyepiece a gentle smile, just like always.

"Sister, I'm leaving."

His tone was very soft, as if he were just going out for the first time. But this time, he probably wouldn't be coming back.

"Xue'er! Don't go!"

Yi Xue was stunned. She hadn't expected that Yi Jiang and Yi Xuan would forcefully break through her restraints using their Xuanmo techniques. The two of them fell to the ground in a sorry state, their clean Taoist robes covered in mud and water, but they immediately stood up.

He really is a genius... As long as he gets through this disaster, he will definitely be able to live a good life in the future.

Yi Xue didn't turn around, but simply waved her hand gently behind her. Her white hair fluttered, turning into a streak of light in the sky, just like the immortals described in picture books.

Since we've come all this way, considering how well he's behaved for so long, I think it's okay to let him show off a little.

The boy's lips curled slightly upward as he broke through the rain curtain that seemed to swallow the heavens and earth, speeding northward.

The girls could only watch his departing figure, unable to catch up.

Chapter 134 The Beginning of Becoming a Hero

"He's here..."

"The plan can now begin."

The rats lurking in the shadows whispered amongst themselves, each believer in the First Lord having their own desires, and the First Lord's whispers were like divine revelation to them.

Bringing calamity to the world, welcoming back the Holy Son to the First Lord!

This is the only path they can take to meet the First Lord, and it is also the only path of "redemption" they can take.

The bishops of the Praise Society stood at the eye of the storm, ready to personally welcome the Son of God back, and then—

And that was it. He wasn't foolish enough to fight the Holy Son who had obtained the power of the Primordial Lord, and the Primordial Lord obviously understood this as well, so his duty was simply to guide.

The Primordial Lord had made other preparations for the unique shaping of the Holy Son. He only needed to complete his part, and then... he would be able to meet the Primordial Lord and have all his requests granted.

"As for Yunkui Mountain... we have given you many chances already."

“You have been hiding the Holy Son and trying to divide up the power of the Primordial Lord. Even now, you are still stubbornly resisting. Since that’s the case, then let the Primordial Lord mold you all.”

He murmured that Lemnian's precautions were more timely than expected, but how could human strength alone stop the expansion of the void? It was not possible in the past, and it is not possible today.

The next instant, countless skeletons in the void began to stir, and figures as large as small mountains began to rush outwards.

at the same time.

The front line of Void Zero.

"Yi Xue, the thirteenth generation sect leader of Yun Kui Mountain, has been summoned."

Yi Xue arrived alone on his sword, the light of day and moon spreading out behind him into a huge rotating wheel of light. He stood in the air and spoke softly. Although his voice was very soft, it could be heard by everyone present through the rain. The morale of the defense army was suddenly boosted as his voice fell.

No one asked how many people had come to Yunkui Mountain this time.

The aura emanating from the man before me was enough to rival that of ten thousand troops.

Just as the right person had arrived, the previously unchanged Void Zero suddenly erupted with extremely violent fluctuations.

The black curtain, hundreds of meters high, suddenly expanded at that moment.

It did not expand outward slowly, but instead instantly swallowed up more than ten kilometers of space, and then continued to spread outward at a speed comparable to that of a vehicle.

The defense forces' lines and civilians attempting to escape by car were all enveloped in an empty package at that moment.

The immense energy contained within it startled even Yi Xue, yet her heart, filled with doubt and unease, finally found peace.

The day and moon halo behind him kept spinning, drawing on the ether that was escaping from Void Zero to fill his void. In an instant, he was restored to his full strength, even stronger than before.
