Chapter 1381: Tantai Lan Returns

Boom!

The roaring sound emanating from the Boundary River spread throughout the entire Boundary River Domain.

Countless gazes shot over in shock, and then they saw the fist punching through the crystalline layer of the Boundary River.

This scene made everyone's hearts rise with a sense of absurdity; was there really something in that Boundary River trying to come out?

That Faceless Nether King also paused his steps due to this sudden change; the blood-red eyeball on his face gazed at a certain crystalline layer within the Boundary River, and his heart gave a violent jolt: "The Boundary River was actually scorched open by Li Li Jingzhe's Source Fire to create a small channel?! Why would he do that?"

Moreover, whose fist was that?

The Boundary River surged; even King-level experts found it hard to cross, so how could anyone be hiding within it?

For some reason, the Faceless Nether King felt a sense of unease.

Then he no longer dragged his feet; his figure moved and he appeared before Li Luo, his pale and cold palm reaching out to grab the latter.

Regardless, he would first get hold of this Primordial Seed.

Li Luo watched the palm of the Faceless Nether King reaching for him; the Xiangli within his body trembled wildly, trying to dodge, but the space around him seemed frozen; no matter how he struggled, he could not move his body even an inch.

Beside him, Jiang Jiang Qinge's beautiful eyes were also red; the Light within her body erupted wildly, but it was entirely bound within her body, unable to surge out.

Facing a Dual-Crown King-level existence, their resistance had not even the slightest effect.

"Little Luo!"

Li Li Qingpeng, Li Li Jinpan, Niu Niu Biaobiao, and others let out painful roars; they too were bound and could only watch helplessly as the Faceless Nether King attacked Li Luo.

This scene was how utterly despairing.

With Li Li Jingzhe powerless to act again, there was simply no one who could check the Faceless Nether King!

Splash!

And just at that moment when endless despair surged in everyone's hearts, silver light seemed to slash through the heavens and earth; where that silver light passed, it seemed the very space here emitted a sound of resonance.

Then everyone saw the space beside Li Luo twist violently, and at the same time, a pale and elegant palm extended out from within it.

Golden luster flowed upon that palm.

Slender fingers clenched tightly, forming a fist.

Boom!

The fist smashed out; in that instant, it seemed the sound of space exploding rang out; only to see all the vast space crack apart, with space fragments turning into a silver torrent that, following the smash of that fist, directly met the Faceless Nether King's pale palm.

"Seeking death!"

The Faceless Nether King emitted a cold voice; no matter who this person was, in the current Boundary River Domain, even Li Li Jingzhe was powerless to stop him!

Boom!

In the next instant, a fist and a palm clashed hard against each other.

And at the very moment of contact, the blood-red eyeball on the Faceless Nether King's face suddenly surged with intense shock.

Because the power surging from that fist was even more terrifying than his own!

Boom!

A deafening boom erupted in the heavens and earth; indescribable energy impacts raged; before those unbelieving gazes, the figure of the Faceless Nether King shot backward.

And with every step back, a blank face-skin on the Faceless Nether King's face peeled off and exploded into powder.

Hiss!

Everyone present suddenly sucked in a sharp breath, their gazes utterly shocked; in this hard clash, the Dual-Crown King Faceless Nether King had actually fallen to a disadvantage!

Who was this person?!

"Who are you?!"

At the same time, the Faceless Nether King's sharp and piercing voice suddenly rang out.

His heart was extremely shocked and furious; seeing Li Li Jingzhe broken, he thought no one in the Boundary River Domain could stop him anymore, but who would have thought that such a powerful existence would suddenly appear.

From the brief exchange just now, the opponent's strength would certainly not be weaker than a Dual-Crown King!

Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge also woke from this change; they stared blankly at the fist that had drilled out of the space beside them.

This feeling of surviving a disaster made them somewhat dazed.

At this moment, the space where the fist was located slowly rotated, forming a spatial vortex; then everyone saw a slender, tall figure step out, step by step, from that spatial vortex.

When that slender figure stepped out, a voice as cold as an ice spring also rang out in the heavens and earth.

"Want to take my son? Have you asked me, his mother?"

Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge were struck as if by lightning.

They stared blankly at the figure stepping out from the spatial vortex.

That was a tall, slender woman; she wore a purple coat, her long hair coiled up, appearing dignified and elegant; and as she stepped out, an extremely domineering pressure swept out like a tide.

Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge gazed at that familiar, beautiful face; the emotions suddenly surging in their hearts made their pupils tremble wildly like an earthquake.

And while the two were stunned, the woman in purple tilted her head slightly; the originally cold eyes in her gaze now surged with countless emotions.

Tenderness, longing, joy, worry...

Finally, she smiled and extended both hands, touching the faces of Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge, and said lightly, "Two little ones, long time no see."

The slight icy coolness on their faces finally made Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge suddenly come to their senses; the face reflected in their pupils was the one they had missed for many years, and their bodies could not help but tremble violently.

"Mother?"

"Mistress?"

Both spoke in trembling whispers, as if afraid that what stood before them was a dream before death.

Feeling the two's cautious manner, the woman in purple could not help but feel a touch of bitterness at the tip of her nose; back then they had left too hastily; these two little ones must have suffered much over these years, right?

Her hand gently stroked the two faces, and with an extremely gentle voice, she said, "Yes, Mother has returned."

This time, Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge finally understood completely that the person before them was not a dream.

Tantai Lan had truly returned!

Li Luo's heart surged, his eyes reddened. He wanted to say something, but his throat was so clogged he could only finally exhale with all his might.

He could still hold himself back here, but Jiang Jiang Qinge, who was usually more composed and calm, became even more emotional at this moment. Tears of joy appeared at the corners of her eyes, and then she stepped forward and threw herself into Dantai Lan's embrace.

"Mistress, you're all right—it's wonderful!" she said in a trembling voice.

"Little E has grown up."

Dantai Lan's gaze was gentle. She reached out to ruffle Jiang Jiang Qinge's smooth long hair and said with a light laugh, "Has Little Luo bullied you all these years? If he has, tell me, and I'll help you beat him up."

That damned sense of familiarity.

Li Luo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Jiang Jiang Qinge, meanwhile, quickly gathered her emotions and somewhat shyly pulled away from Dantai Lan's embrace.

"Let me first tidy things up here."

Dantai Lan gave Li Luo and Jiang Jiang Qinge a slight smile and said, "Don't worry, Mother is back. I won't let anyone bully you two again."

She stepped forward and stood in front of the two children.

At this moment, the crowd in the arena also recovered from their earlier shock. When they saw the purple-clad woman, they were briefly bewildered, and then deep memories surged up from the depths of their minds.

"You... you're Dantai Lan?!" Qin Baiyan's eyes went wide.

Li Li Qingpeng and Li Li Jinpan were also faces full of disbelief: "... Sister-in-law?!"

No one had expected that Dantai Lan, who had been out of contact for many years, would suddenly appear at this moment.

Seeing Niu Niu Biaobiao was also wide-eyed, looking as if he'd seen a ghost.

"So many familiar faces."

Meeting those incredulous gazes, an elegant smile appeared on Dantai Lan's beautiful face.

"Dantai Lan?"

The Faceless Nether King, who had been blasted back, also stared at Dantai Lan with some uncertainty and suspicion—how could she have come out from the Boundary River?

"So you're the monster from the Return Society, trying to capture my son?" Dantai Lan lightly rolled her fists and asked in a calm voice.

The Faceless Nether King did not answer. The blood-red eyeball exposed on his face was full of suspicion, and at the same time a cold voice rang out: "You haven't forged a King's Crown, how dare you block me!"

He had not sensed the fluctuation of a King's Crown from Dantai Lan's body.

Then hadn't the Dantai Lan before him Enter the King Realm?

Then, what was that punch just now?

"A King's Crown? Indeed I don't have one."

"However..."

"My path doesn't need such a thing."

Dantai Lan stuffed her hands into the pockets of her greatcoat and took a step forward.

And as her footstep landed, suddenly a surging, vast wave of phase power shot up into the sky, and then countless gazes saw eight Marquis Platforms standing tall.

"Marquis Platforms?" Disappointment showed in many people's eyes. To reveal Marquis Platforms before a Double-Crowned King—what a lacking display.

But that disappointment lasted only an instant before they suddenly sensed something was wrong.

The fluctuation erupting from those eight Marquis Platforms directly caused this very heaven and earth to rumble.

A terrifying, extreme pressure swept out like a storm.

In that instant, they seemed to suddenly think of something, and one by one horrified gazes shot toward the tops of those eight towering Marquis Platforms.

There, they saw ten golden giant pillars standing, suffused with an aura of perfection.

Ten-Pillar Golden Platforms!

Seven Ten-Pillar Golden Platforms can be called Unparalleled Marquis!

And eight...

Is, Grand Unparalleled! "(PS: I'm going out tomorrow for a meeting, so there may be no update.)"
