Chapter 289: The Return of an Old Acquaintance

The God Fighter was burning with flames all over its body, lighting up the Ghost House and giving people a great sense of security.

However, most of the Residents of the Red Fish Building still felt some worry and doubt in their hearts; could this item produced by the Qijiao Building really be able to eradicate an A-level Monster?

In their inherent understanding, A-level Monsters were simply invincible and impossible to eradicate.

Wang Kaixuan stared at the God Fighter, a thoughtful look appearing in his eyes.

Just at this moment, a Resident suddenly felt their face go cold: "Oh no, Water Floods Golden Mountain."

Water was pouring down, and many people had water on them to some extent; there was simply no way to avoid it.

Zhuge Anran held Wang Bing tightly, her heart filled with a trace of trepidation.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a scream rang out.

"Hands! Hands!"

Everyone looked over and saw, in the water, one palm after another emerging one by one.

One, two, three... there were a full seven of them!

Seven palms; excluding the woman who had died and the person using a water-avoidance item, this was exactly the number of people remaining on the scene.

This meant that the ghost here was going to make a move on the seven of them.

In the past, whenever such things happened, they would surely die without a doubt.

A terrifying atmosphere permeated, and feelings of fear filled the air.

Everyone looked toward the flame man.

Zhuge Anran gritted his teeth, a trace of determination appearing in his eyes: "God Fighter."

According to what Mr. Xu Ling said, the God Fighter was incomparably powerful and could also keep people safe.

Hearing Zhuge Anran's words, a scorching light surged within the pupils of the flame-like God Fighter.

Within its eyes, two fire-red beams of light appeared.

Scorching, powerful, destructive.

The beams of light shot straight toward the ground, and in an instant, the water stains on the ground were evaporated and disappeared.

The water stains vanished, and what appeared before everyone was a flat, smooth floor.

However, within the floor, seven pale palms were still waving, looking exceptionally ferocious.

A chill went through everyone's hearts.

Could this God Fighter also not deal with this ghost?

Just then, however, the flames on the God Fighter's body grew even more intense.

On its back, flames continuously gathered and surged, finally forming seven huge flame arms.

This scene was like an exaggerated special effect in a movie.

The seven burning flame arms rushed toward the ground.

In an instant, they grabbed the pale palms on the ground.

Fingers interlaced.

If not for this terrifying atmosphere, anyone would have thought this was a cross-species romance, making one envious.

But then, the giant flame palms lifted.

In an instant, a thin, long-haired female ghost appeared in everyone's line of sight.

The giant flame hands lifted the female ghost as if it were holding a chick.

The others saw this scene and subconsciously retreated.

It was the first time they had seen an A-level Monster so clearly.

After all, in the past, any Resident who could see an A-level Monster clearly had already died.

"Ah!"

The ghost let out a low roar.

Her thick hair was growing crazily and continuously.

Her power was also gradually increasing.

However, the flames on the God Fighter's arms burned.

The newly grown hair was continuously incinerated into ashes.

The ghost struggled constantly, like a chick whose neck was being gripped.

The God Fighter picked up the ghost and slammed it repeatedly, causing sounds of collision with the Void.

The Residents present took a deep breath and swallowed their saliva.

The once-invincible monster was as fragile as a little bug in front of the God Fighter.

"This God Fighter is too strong; no, I must buy one when I go back," someone exclaimed.

"There are only three God Fighters in total, and they have all been sold out; you are just daydreaming," someone said coldly.

Seeing the ghost being beaten up by the God Fighter—or rather, having no ability to resist against the God Fighter—everyone felt a sense of relief in their hearts.

"Who told you to think at the beginning that Lord Xu Ling's things were deceptive and refuse to buy them?"

Zhuge Anran and his group, having witnessed the power of the God Fighter, felt shocked and pleasantly surprised.

Quite a few people felt that after this mission was completed, they must purchase some items from Mr. Xu Ling.

Nearby, the battle was still continuing, but it was one-sided.

This scene was just like when they encountered monsters; they would be the ones collapsing.

The ghost was as fragile as a doll in front of the God Fighter.

In a few quick moves, that powerful A-level Monster fell right there.

Zhuge Anran is now completely certain that it was the sheep that Xu Ling Slayed.

The previous doubts have all dissipated.

What kind of existence is that Xu Ling, exactly?

He cannot imagine.

The ghost dissolves, and a drop of blood appears imperceptibly, which is collected by the God Fighter.

No one present discovers this scene.

The people of the Red Fish Building see this scene, their hearts shocked beyond measure.

Wang Kaixuan also did not expect that this mission would pass just like this.

He looks at Zhuge Anran: "This item... where on earth did you get it?"

The young men and women behind Wang Kaixuan also reveal expressions of longing and envy; the young man who previously mocked Zhuge Anran now has a look of shame on his face.

If they had such an item, what would they fear in a mission?

Powerful monsters would be directly thrashed.

"This item was sold to us by a Resident in our Building.

However, to purchase it, one needs to consume points.

The kind that is permanently consumed."

"How many points does this God Fighter require?" Wang Kaixuan asks.

"Ten points."

"Too cheap," Wang Kaixuan and those behind him exclaim.

"However, this type of item is a consumable and has a limited number of uses," Zhuge Anran adds.

Upon hearing this, Wang Kaixuan and the others feel a bit better.

Still, ten points to guarantee a safe mission is just too worth it.

"This God Fighter can only be used three times; it was just used once, so it can only be used twice more in the future," Zhuge Anran sighs.

Using it up just like this is a bit of a waste.

Beside him, Wang Kaixuan widens his eyes.

Such a powerful item, and it can still be used three times?

He had thought it could only be used once.

"That Resident who sold you the item, what kind of sacred person are they?"

Wang Kaixuan feels conflicted.

Time passes quickly.

When dawn is about to break, the mission ends.

Except for the woman who died at the very beginning, no one else died in this mission.

Everyone teleports away.

And at this moment, in the Void, two clusters of light and shadow appear.

These two clusters of light and shadow are collecting God Positions, or rather, the results.

Just then, suddenly, one cluster of light and shadow fiercely slaps the other, snatching all the God Position Fragments.

The other cluster of light and shadow is slightly stunned, and by the time it reacts, there is nothing left.

In an unknown place, Chi Yu suddenly stands up, his eyes filled with anger: "Qijiao, how bold, you actually do not follow the alliance agreement and snatch the God Position that belongs to me."

The more Chi Yu thinks about it, the angrier he gets.

Although this Qijiao's strength is a cut above his own.

But, one cannot bully people like this, right?

He hesitates for a moment, then his figure takes to the air.

A quarter of an hour later, Chi Yu stands before a cave and roars inside: "Qijiao, what is the meaning of this, snatching my God Position?"

However, inside the cave, no one responds at all.

"Don't think that just because you are injured, you can act recklessly.

You want to snatch my God Position to heal your wounds, right?

Today, I will make your injuries even more severe and see how you snatch things in the future!"

Chi Yu strikes, and a powerful wave drills into the cave.

……

Time flashes by.

It has been nearly three years since this awakening.

Lin Chao sits in the bookstore, watching the news playing on the newly replaced color television.

"The Outsiders discovered a month ago have established diplomatic relations with Zhonglian Country.

The Outsiders will bring more advanced scientific technology to Zhonglian Country."

"The First Immortal Academy is officially established and is recruiting students from the whole of society."

Lin Chao watches the news on the television, his gaze calm.

"Has it finally arrived?"

The Outsiders have finally begun to set foot in this world.

The First Immortal Academy is an academy established by the official authorities of Zhonglian Country.

According to the information obtained these days, the Outsiders come from a world called the Ancient Origin Realm.

This world is an Immortal Cultivation world.

As for his strength, it is unknown.

Lin Chao has not yet obtained much information.

"Continue cultivating."

Lin Chao did not pay much attention to these matters.

Now, he is still cultivating the Innate Method.

Occasionally, he crafts some items to provide to the Residents in the Qijiao Building.

Nowadays, the mortality rate of the Residents in the Qijiao Building has greatly decreased.

Moreover, what surprised Lin Chao the most was that a man named Luo Yu in the Qijiao Building learned the Wood God Path and is now a First-Order Transcendent.

Furthermore, according to judgment, Luo Yu's strength has reached the level of a B-level Monster.

This means that when facing B-level missions, as long as Luo Yu is careful, he can sweep through them even without the help of items.

This caused a great sensation in the Qijiao Building.

After all, for ordinary Residents, the rewards obtained from the Qijiao Building cannot truly be used permanently on themselves.

Most are temporary enhancements; there is simply nothing like Luo Yu, who has achieved Transcendental status himself.

This led to all kinds of cultivation techniques on the list being redeemed by the Residents.

Zhuge Anran also redeemed a cultivation technique.

At this moment, he came out of the Qijiao Building and returned to reality.

Soon, his uncle Zhuge Fang will arrive at his home.

Half an hour later.

Zhuge Anran looked at his uncle with a smile on his face: "Uncle, long time no see."

Zhuge Fang has a square face, giving people an amiable and approachable feeling.

"What have you been busy with lately?" Zhuge Fang asked casually.

For some reason, he always felt that his nephew had something on his mind.

In the past, when he communicated with his nephew, he could feel a deep exhaustion in his nephew's words, as well as a sense of despair!

Now, it has dissipated a lot.

"No... nothing." Zhuge Anran naturally would not reveal the matters inside the Qijiao Building.

"I came this time... your father has words for me to pass on to you," Zhuge Fang began.

Hearing this, a complex expression flashed in Zhuge Anran's eyes.

His relationship with his father had always been very strained.

"Regarding your marriage, he said he will no longer interfere, and he will not force you into a marriage alliance with anyone."

"Ah?" Zhuge Anran felt warmth in his heart.

It was precisely because of Wang Bing that he had a falling out with his father and the family.

"However, your father said that the First Immortal Academy is currently enrolling students.

He pulled some strings so that you can enter the Immortal Academy.

You and Wang Bing should prepare and move to Kyoto."

A smile appeared in Zhuge Fang's eyes.

Seeing this father and son bury the hatchet, he was also very happy.

However, Zhuge Anran hesitated for a moment: "Sorry, Uncle, I cannot join the First Immortal Academy."

He currently spends most of his time in the Qijiao Building and simply has no time to attend school.

Even if it is the First Immortal Academy, joining it would allow one to learn the Immortal arts of the Outsiders.

Moreover, the First Immortal Academy has powerful beings from beyond the heavens; if someone discovers his anomaly and forcibly investigates the matters of the Qijiao Building, he could easily be erased by the Qijiao Building.

Most importantly, he can now purchase cultivation techniques from Xu Ling in the Qijiao Building and cultivate just the same.

It is not necessarily weaker than the First Immortal Academy.

Zhuge Fang was stunned; he did not expect to get such a result: "Anran... if you have encountered any danger, tell your uncle.

Or, do you have some unavoidable hidden difficulty?"

Zhuge Fang also realized the seriousness of the matter.

In this world, who wouldn't want to study Immortal arts and achieve Transcendental status?

Given Zhuge Anran's personality, he certainly wouldn't refuse such a thing.

"Uncle, I trust my own choice." Zhuge Anran raised his head, his gaze firm.

The owner of the Qijiao Building must be incomparably powerful.

And that Xu Ling is even more mysterious and unfathomable.

It is not necessarily inferior to that Ancient Origin Realm.

"Tingya has already been detected to have good talent for Immortal Cultivation and has also gone to the First Immortal Academy," Zhuge Fang sighed.

Tingya is the woman who was once almost betrothed to Zhuge Anran.

"Then congratulations to her." Zhuge Anran was neither sad nor happy.

The world changes every day.

Lin Chao's small color screen television has also been replaced with a large screen.

The Qijiao in the cave is beaten by a deity every once in a while; its originally severe injuries have become even worse, and it is estimated that it will be difficult for it to wake up again.

The First Immortal Academy has held the Immortal Arts Grand Examination for three consecutive years, broadcast to the entire population, attracting the eyes of countless people.

Various Fireball Techniques and Long Spear Techniques are dazzling and make people yearn for them immensely.

Today's Zhonglian Country is filled with joy, with the whole population enthusiastic about Immortal Cultivation, presenting a brand new scene, no longer resembling the image of war from before.

Among the people, the matter of Saint Emperor Yusu cutting off the Qi-Blood Martial Dao was mentioned once again.

However, this time no one cursed Saint Emperor Yusu; instead, they praised the great selflessness of Yusu.

Some claimed that Saint Emperor Yusu's faults were in the contemporary era, but his merits would last for a thousand autumns.

Regarding all this, Lin Chao had always viewed it from the perspective of a third party.

And at this moment, above Linhai City, a woman dressed in ancient attire appeared.

Her figure was graceful, and her expression was cold and aloof.

She looked at the distant sea, a trace of nostalgia appearing on her face.

Memories from back then surged forth; she still remembered that tall, upright figure appearing, unhesitatingly helping her bear the backlash of Cang Yi.

In the end, she was left with a glimmer of life.

As for that person, according to what her senior sister said, someone who had not obtained the Yuan Shi Legacy, even if they were an Innate expert, would undoubtedly die after bearing such a backlash.

"Master, I... still owe you."

The young woman was naturally Yusu.

Back then, after she suffered the backlash from Cang Yi, she was taken back to the Tianfang Alliance by her senior sister and became a disciple of a noble Immortal Lord.

In the Tianfang Alliance, her status was also incomparably noble.

Yet, what she always kept in her heart was still that one figure.

She owed that person too much.

She had cut off the Qi-Blood Martial Dao he had pursued his whole life, and even let him... suffer the backlash, eventually falling.

"Sister Yusu, it has been a long time since we returned; it is truly nostalgic."

Beside Yusu, a young woman spoke, her eyes filled with endless longing.

The Qi-Blood Martial Dao of this world had completely dissolved, which required the consumption of several hundred years of time.

During this period, low-level Immortal Cultivators could not come to this world, otherwise, it would be disadvantageous to their cultivation.

Now, this world had completely returned to normal, and only then did they have the opportunity to return.

Unfortunately, after returning, what they saw was a strange world.

Any acquaintances no longer existed.

It was quite desolate.

"Stinky uncle, you kept hiding back then; why were you unwilling to see me?" Xu Xiaojing looked at the sea, a look of disappointment appearing in her eyes.

If it weren't for Yusu finally seeing Xu Ling, Xu Xiaojing would have likely thought that her uncle had probably died long ago.

And at this time, Yusu's brows lifted slightly as a message arrived.

"Xiaojing, let's go; we came here this time to investigate the matter of the Evil God Alliance."
