Chapter 272: with translation of chapter title

Youqing... teacher...

On the other side, Lu Xun, who had just returned, also saw Chu Youqing and the four girls.

Ah... Lu Xun, it's really you!

Chu Youqing cheered and lunged forward.

Lu Xun's absence was actually not long, just half a day.

But that half day, in Chu Youqing's feeling, was longer than a century.

Although Lu Xun had previously left for several months at once, Chu Youqing didn't know where he went during those months, so she wasn't this worried.

So, even though there were many people here, Chu Youqing couldn't help but throw herself into Lu Xun's arms.

Murong Wan now also confirmed that Lu Xun had indeed returned.

The heavy stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

Seeing Chu Youqing recklessly leap into Lu Xun's arms, Murong Wan couldn't help but feel a tinge of envy.

Although she and Lu Xun were intimate, they were still in a secret relationship.

In public, they had never even held hands.

It's really him.

Fu Yue and Fu Xue's hearts simultaneously relaxed, and smiles appeared on their faces.

Especially Fu Yue.

This time, Lu Xun had personally safeguarded the Yuheng Fortress; if he weren't rescued, Fu Yue couldn't be at ease.

Now Lu Xun has returned safely, which also counts as settling one of her worries.

Sister, about Father...

Fu Xue suddenly thought of something.

Just now, Fu Yue told their father that Lu Xun was the Fu family's son-in-law.

Only then did their father agree to take action.

Now, their father likely went to Xuanji City to use the Zhou Tian Star Chen Instrument.

The Zhou Tian Star Chen Instrument is a very powerful treasure; using it once consumes a great deal, and ordinary cultivators simply aren't qualified to use it.

Its function is to search for the stars around Lan Xing.

Such a search is not like in the old era, where merely calculating the distance would suffice.

The Zhou Tian Star Chen Instrument's search can also roughly determine the spatial position, general type, and strength of the surrounding stars.

Even non-luminous planets can be detected by it.

Of course, if a spirit star is hidden too well, it's also not easy to find.

Especially in a nebula with many stars and a complex environment.

When Fu Xue reminded her, Fu Yue hurriedly took out her phone.

She wanted to notify their father that Lu Xun had returned, so there was no need to use the Zhou Tian Star Chen Instrument anymore.

After sending the message, Fu Yue felt a headache again.

She had just told their father that Lu Xun was the Fu family's son-in-law.

Those words, however, cannot be taken back.

She couldn't possibly tell their father again that she had said that just to save Lu Xun.

If it were another father, that would naturally be no problem.

But if their father said that, the other party would likely never trust them again.

Let's leave it like this for now.

Fu Yue decided not to explain this for now.

Anyway, their father does nothing but cultivate, hardly ever engaging in worldly affairs.

Huh, it's Lu Xun.

I heard he killed many Six Realms cultivators and saved the entire Rong Cheng.

True or false?

Not far away, a cultivator spotted Lu Xun and exclaimed in surprise.

As the Ancient God arrived and the Yao Xing retreated, Lan Xing gradually returned to peace.

Some news began to spread.

For example, the matter of Lu Xun killing four Six Realms demon cultivators in Rong Cheng and saving the whole city.

But many cultivators still don't know about this.

Mainly because Lan Xing is still quite chaotic, with large numbers of worms not yet cleared from the ground, and some cities have only just eliminated all the demon seeds.

Demon seeds come in two types: one is those initially planted by powerful demon clans; though few in number, they are strong and very troublesome.

The other type is those spat out by the giant trees on Yao Xing, each demon seed fruit containing over a million demon seeds.

These demon seeds mainly target ordinary people and ordinary cultivators; they prevail by sheer numbers and are equally hard to deal with.

Among this group of cultivators, obviously someone knows about the Rong Cheng affair.

This caused shock among the others.

Lu Xun, I was just about to send people to rescue you, but I didn't expect you to return on your own.

On the other side, seeing Chu Youqing and Lu Xun finally separate, Fu Yue then stepped forward.

Fu Yue Teacher, I was also lucky; just as the demon emperor's avatar was crushed by the Ancient God, I managed to escape.

Lu Xun took out the words he had prepared earlier.

It's better for now not to reveal Barbara's existence.

Avoid the witch coming directly to the door.

"Lu Xun, has Yao Xing been destroyed?"

Fu Xue spoke.

"No, but it's heavily damaged."

Lu Xun shook his head.

Fu Xue let out an "oh," but her gaze kept sizing up Lu Xun without stopping.

Others don't know.

But she has personally seen the Ancient God, knowing Lu Xun has value to the Ancient God.

So, Fu Xue feels that the Ancient God suddenly changed its target, rushing toward Yao Xing, very likely because of Lu Xun.

"What a pity."

Fu Yue said with a sigh of "What a pity."

If Yao Xing were destroyed by the Ancient God, that would be perfect.

"By the way, I also ran into Fei Tai'a and the others this time, and brought them back along the way."

While speaking, Lu Xun released Fei Tai'a and the others from the inner realm space.

However, Ah Hui Lu Xun did not immediately release the inner realm space.

This was the plan discussed by several people on the road.

There are too many people here, too mixed; Ah Hui's existence should still not be made public, otherwise public opinion could form and possibly backfire.

"Finally back."

"Hah!"

Upon coming out, the members of the suicide squad all couldn't help cheering.

After half a year apart, they finally returned to Lan Xing.

As they cheered, the eight rescued humans looked around in confusion.

These eight people had been imprisoned too long in the dark, lightless underground prison.

So long that even though they are cultivators at the Third Realm or above, when they first encountered strong light, their eyes involuntarily narrowed.

For ordinary people, the best choice at this moment is to cover their eyes with cloth; otherwise they will go blind.

After gradually adapting to the strong light, they then saw their surroundings.

They saw the blue planet below.

"I... we..."

A stooped old man trembled all over, gripping his arm tightly, as if he couldn't believe what he saw.

The others were no better.

Perhaps having been imprisoned too long, having lost hope, their first reaction was actually to think this isn't real, but a phantom created by the Yao people.

Even the descendant of the tribulation-crossing senior is like that.

"Are they... the imprisoned humans?"

Fu Yue and Fu Xue were both startled.

They knew about this mission.

"Yes, two elders, they are all the people we rescued; this time we owe it all to Lu Xun, otherwise we couldn't have saved them."

The Six Realms Immortal Cultivator hurriedly explained.

He did not claim credit.

After all, being able to rescue these people this time relied entirely on Lu Xun.

"Lu Xun?"

The two women couldn't help but look at Lu Xun.

Their eyes simultaneously flashed with surprise.

The last time Lu Xun was trapped by the Ancient God, he escaped back— that was fine enough.

This time he was captured by the Yao Emperor, yet still escaped back on his own.

Not only did he escape back, he even managed to rescue so many people from Yao Xing along the way.

What else can't Lu Xun do?
