Chapter 455: Celestial Phenomenon Space

"A Chuan, you're back."

Yun Zhi Yi threw herself into Lin Chuan's arms, feeling as if in a dream, choking, "A Chuan, why did you come back?"

"What? You don't welcome me back?"

Lin Chuan held her.

"Hmph."

Yun Zhi Yi pursed her lips, "You still know how to come back; do you still have me in your heart?"

Lin Chuan teased, "How about I dig my heart out and show you?"

"Sure."

Yun Zhi Yi snorted, "After this is over, I'll find you for a proper reckoning; don't think I don't know what you did out there!"

"Take your punishment as you wish."

Lin Chuan smiled.

He also knew that Xiao Qingmei only seemed fierce on the surface and would never actually do anything.

Perhaps because she is an incarnation of fortune, Xiao Qingmei has always been very tolerant and gentle.

"A Chuan, was it my father who sent you back?"

Yun Zhi Yi asked.

Her heart was secretly glad, yet she couldn't help worrying; she had told her father not to inform A Chuan, not wanting to drag him into danger.

In the end, it was unavoidable.

"I came on my own," Lin Chuan said with a smile, "If you were in danger, how could I not come?"

"Just remember me."

Yun Zhi Yi's lips curled slightly, "It seems your days training in the Purple Star Emperor Sect went well; you must have been noticed by some senior great power of the sect, right?"

"That's right," Lin Chuan said with a smile.

"Was the one who acted just now a great power of the sect?" Yun Zhi Yi asked.

"No."

Lin Chuan shook his head.

Yun Zhi Yi, curious, "Then who was it?"

Lin Chuan blinked, "Far beyond the heavens yet close before the eyes."

"Huh?"

Yun Zhi Yi was bewildered.

"Exactly," Lin Chuan said with a smiling nod, "It is your future husband, Lin Chuan himself."

Yun Zhi Yi stared tightly at Lin Chuan, unable to process for a moment.

She couldn't tell truth from falsehood.

She and A Chuan were born on the same year, month, and day; when they were young, her talent was far superior to A Chuan's.

Back then, many relatives and friends looked down on A Chuan.

Even when A Chuan left, his cultivation realm was still lower than hers.

Just a single trip to the Purple Star Emperor Sect, and he became this powerful? Could it truly be a divine place?

"Rest well, I'll go handle some matters."

Lin Chuan infused a strand of life energy into Yun Zhi Yi's body, and her injuries instantly healed.

Yun Zhi Yi stared at him without blinking.

A Chuan really has changed.

She sensed many profound auras on A Chuan.

"Be careful."

At this moment, Yun Zhi Yi finally believed that Lin Chuan's strength had already risen to a level she could not reach.

Perhaps A Chuan had some strange encounter outside, or received an ancient mysterious inheritance?

Yun Zhi Yi didn't think it over.

Nor did she need to.

As long as A Chuan is back, that's enough.

As for the rest, those are A Chuan's own opportunities; probing them is meaningless.

"Wait for me."

Lin Chuan's form surged with black spirit energy and vanished in an instant.

The black arc can trap others.

To the current Lin Chuan, it's as if nothing.

He sensed the Sun Demon's aura had already dissipated, retreating far away, clearly unwilling to clash head‑on.

The more so, the more interested Lin Chuan became in tracking it down.

However, now he still lacks the strength to confront the Sun Demon directly; delving further would be futile.

Give him a bit more time to grow, and slaying this Sun Demon won't be too late.

The top priority is naturally to rescue the "Cheap Father-in-law" Yun Zhenshan and quickly end the Cloud Kingdom's conflict.

So that the Cloud Kingdom's fortune doesn't suffer a great loss.

It's not because Lin Chuan cares about the Cloud Kingdom; rather, he treats the Cloud Kingdom as a tool for Xiao Qingmei's cultivation, and cannot simply watch its turmoil.

"It should be there."

Lin Chuan locked onto a void space.

The place where Wei Tianshu and Yun Zhenshan fought was not far from the Grand General's residence.

……

Inside the celestial phenomenon space.

The battle between Wei Tianshu and Yun Zhenshan was evenly matched.

If we look at the past, Yun Zhenshan could naturally have overpowered Wei Tianshu, but since returning injured from the Black Mist Battlefield, his strength has taken a hit.

Moreover, constantly worrying about his daughter's safety made him overly impatient, and he could never break Wei Tianshu's watertight defense.

"Yun Zhenshan, why are you in such a hurry?"

Wei Tianshu laughed wildly, "Being in a hurry won't help; when you go out, I'm afraid you'll only be collecting your obedient daughter's corpse, hahahaha."

Yun Zhenshan gritted his teeth, "If anything happens to my daughter, I must die."

"Rest assured, you won't survive either."

Wei Tianshu sneered, "After this battle, the Princess will go to the Black Mist Battlefield. As for you, either go with her or get out of the Cloud Kingdom."

"Traitor!"

Yun Zhenshan raged, the Law Power surged, nearly breaking through the celestial phenomenon space several times, and the shattered space repaired itself within moments.

His strength ultimately could not match his younger years.

The two faced off, never able to determine a winner.

At that moment, within the boundless celestial phenomenon space, a surge of black spiritual energy rose suddenly, like a spring turning into a sea, stirring massive waves within the space.

Wei Tianshu and Yun Zhenshan were startled at the same time.

Both assumed it was the other's tactic.

But they quickly realized, seeing the result in each other's expression.

It was an external factor affecting the celestial phenomenon space.

"Who?"

Wei Tianshu broke into a cold sweat; the celestial phenomenon space he created was an absolute space forged in the deep void using the power of Chaos stars.

It is almost completely isolated from the realm of living beings.

Even ordinary Seekers of Immortality cannot interfere here.

Any powerful being capable of forcibly entering from external space would be a threat he cannot afford.

Yun Zhenshan was also extremely tense.

The rolling black spiritual sea was too malevolent; the newcomer did not seem like a good person, and he could not tell friend from foe.

Both instinctively widened the gap, unwilling to continue the melee.

Until a figure emerged from the black spiritual sea—a graceful youth dressed in black.

"Hmm?"

Yun Zhenshan and Wei Tianshu were both surprised.

Why does he look somewhat familiar?

"Grand General, long time no see."

Lin Chuan greeted.

"You… you are…"

Yun Zhenshan heard the familiar voice, looked at the face, recognized it considerably, with some changes but not many, "Lin Chuan youngster."

"How did you get in here?"

Yun Zhenshan was shocked.

In his mind, Lin Chuan was still a blond youngster, whose cultivation he estimated to be inferior to his own daughter's, but the reality was completely different from his expectation.

"It seems those rumors were all true."

"Lin Chuan youngster is the head of the Myriad Symbol Pavilion in Jin Tian Zhou; what has this kid experienced these years? What earth‑shattering adventures could make him grow so quickly?"

However, now is not the time to dwell on that; Yun Zhenshan quickly regained his composure.

"Lin Chuan, hurry and save Zhi Yi!"

"Zhi Yi is fine."

Lin Chuan's gaze shifted to the panicked Wei Tianshu, "First, slay this old thing before anything else."

He vaguely remembered that when he was just born, this old Wei Tianshu had tried to harm him; he never spoke of that hatred, but it doesn't mean he hadn't thought of it.
