Chapter 338: The Great Battle Concludes

Xuanyuan Huangdi raised his hand, and the Xuanyuan Sword transformed directly into countless Flying Swords, which then pierced through Chiyou's body.

Chiyou looked at Xuanyuan Huangdi with unwillingness and said:

"Xuanyuan Huangdi, I will not let this rest.

I will definitely return.

When that time comes, I will surely let the Human Realm be shrouded in endless darkness.

Ah!"

Under a roar of unwillingness from Chiyou, he transformed once again into a mass of black Qi.

Xuanyuan Huangdi placed this mass of black Qi into a bottle inside his robes, then tucked the bottle away.

As Chiyou was sealed by Xuanyuan Huangdi once more, the dark clouds in the sky finally dispersed, the sun hung high, and the sky turned clear.

Xuanyuan Huangdi withdrew his aura, walked before Duan Fengyun, and said:

"Good disciple, you truly did not disappoint your master.

However, your current strength is too meager, and I still have many enemies even more terrifying than Chiyou.

I hope that in the future you can come to lend me a hand; you must work hard.

You must strive to improve your cultivation; I cannot always arrive in time to save you."

Duan Fengyun nodded and replied:

"Master, I understand.

I will definitely practice diligently from now on and will not lose face for you, Master."

Even if Xuanyuan Huangdi had not said it, Duan Fengyun would still have practiced with all his might.

He had originally thought his strength was enough to traverse the myriad worlds, but this incident with Chiyou told him that his strength was simply not worth looking at in front of these gods and demons.

The road he needed to walk was still very long; according to Xuanyuan Huangdi, his enemies were numerous and powerful, and it was inevitable that he would one day encounter Xuanyuan Huangdi's enemies again.

He was not a bird in a greenhouse; if he had to rely on Xuanyuan Huangdi to save him every time, that would be truly shameful.

He had to constantly improve himself; he wanted to face those terrifying enemies together with Xuanyuan Huangdi.

Afterward, Yueya walked up, and Duan Fengyun took Yueya's hand and introduced her to Xuanyuan Huangdi:

"Master, let me introduce you; this is my wife in this world, Yueya, who is also Yin Zhong's daughter, Yin Feng."

"Yueya, this is Master Xuanyuan Huangdi!"

"Master!"

Yueya bowed respectfully to Xuanyuan Huangdi.

Seeing that Yueya had bowed, Duan Fengyun finally revealed his scheme.

"Master, Yueya is your disciple's wife; as her master, don't you have some kind of gift for our first meeting?"

Seeing Duan Fengyun's cheeky expression, Xuanyuan Huangdi instantly regretted saving her.

Xuanyuan Huangdi thought for a moment, fished two Jade Pendants from his robes, handed them to Yueya, and said:

"These two Jade Pendants have been blessed by Lady Nuwa; if you wear them on your person, you can turn bad luck into good.

Give the other one to your son, so this rebellious disciple doesn't come looking for me for one again."

Xuanyuan Huangdi knew that after Duan Fengyun asked for one for Yueya, he would definitely ask for one for his son, so he gave two at once.

Seeing this, Duan Fengyun laughed:

"Master's great kindness and favor, this disciple is eternally grateful.

It's just that, Master, you know I still have Youruo, Duan Wuyou, and Duan Ruoruo in the Fengyun World; you can't be partial, can you?

If I go back with Yueya and Duan Tian this time, and they find out you gave Yueya and Duan Tian Jade Pendants but didn't give them any, I don't know what they will think."

Although Xuanyuan Huangdi was Duan Fengyun's master, seeing Duan Fengyun be so bold and reckless in asking Xuanyuan Huangdi for gifts, Yueya was truly impressed by Duan Fengyun from the bottom of her heart.

Hearing Duan Fengyun mention Youruo and the others, Xuanyuan Huangdi's expression changed; he pulled Duan Fengyun aside and said:

"Disciple, I have something to tell you; don't get agitated yet.

You might not be able to return to your Fengyun World for a short time."

Duan Fengyun, who had been all smiles, saw his face fall the moment he heard Xuanyuan Huangdi's words.

"Master, what happened? Why can't I go back?"

Xuanyuan Huangdi replied: "Didn't the Martial Dao Gate tell you before that no matter how long you stayed in this world, only one second would have passed when you returned to the Fengyun World?

But now, there is a problem with the time in the myriad worlds, and fifty years have already passed in the Fengyun World.

And the Fengyun World is now ruled by a person named Lian Chengzhi.

All your friends and family in that world have died because of Lian Chengzhi.

I cannot interfere in the affairs of the Human Realm, so I was unable to step in to save them."

"What!"

Duan Fengyun said, his eyes turning blood-red upon hearing this.

He did not believe that they had all died before he could even watch his own son and daughter grow up.

Duan Fengyun held his head in his hands and actually began to cry on the ground.

Seeing Duan Fengyun in this state, Yueya ran over and hugged him, saying:

"Brother Duan, what is wrong!"

"Master, what is wrong with Brother Duan!"

Xuanyuan Huangdi told Yueya about the conversation he had just had with Duan Fengyun; after hearing it, Yueya hugged Duan Fengyun tightly, knowing that he must be in great pain right now.

Duan Fengyun suddenly thought of something, raised his head, and said:

"Master, you must have a way to bring them back to life.

I believe you must have a way."

Xuanyuan Huangdi shook his head and said:

"I have no way!"

Duan Fengyun lowered his head in despair after hearing this, while Xuanyuan Huangdi continued to speak:

"I indeed have no way, but you do.

Because I do not have the memories of your family and friends, I cannot bring them back to life.

But as long as your cultivation reaches a certain level, you can use your memories to go into the Time River and bring them back to life.

However, with your current strength, you are still very far from reaching the level required to fish people out of the Time River."

After hearing this, Duan Fengyun's eyes lit up, and he said with firm Willpower:

"No matter what price I have to pay, I must save Youruo and the others.

Master, you must help me."

Xuanyuan Huangdi nodded and said:

"I truly did not misjudge you.

If you want to improve your cultivation quickly, you must use the Martial Dao Gate to go to stronger worlds.

But I must clarify first: after arriving in those times, your strength will only be at a middle-to-low level or even lower. Can you accept that?"

Duan Fengyun nodded and replied, full of fighting spirit:

"That is exactly what I want; only in this way can I keep becoming stronger."

Duan Fengyun looked at Yueya beside him, thought for a moment, and said:

"Master, I would like to entrust you with one thing.

I want to ask you to look after Yueya and Duan Tian for me."

Hearing that Duan Fengyun was going to leave her and Duan Tian behind, Yueya shook her head and said:

"No, Brother Duan, wherever you go, I go.

I will not let you abandon me and Tian'er."

Duan Fengyun touched Yueya's face and said:

"Yueya, the places I am going to next are all very dangerous. I do not have the ability to protect you and our child here, so for your safety, and so that I can improve my strength as quickly as possible.

You should stay with Master, and let me finish my improvement as quickly as I can alone."

Yueya looked at the serious-faced Duan Fengyun and knew that if she stubbornly insisted on following him, she would surely become a burden to him.

In order not to distract Duan Fengyun, Yueya had no choice but to nod.

Xuanyuan Huangdi said:

"Since that is the case, I will give you one month.

Treasure this time well; in one month, I will come to pick up Yueya and Duan Tian, and then I will open the Martial Dao Gate for you."

After speaking, Xuanyuan Huangdi vanished into thin air before Duan Fengyun and Yueya.

Only after Xuanyuan Huangdi had left did Tong Bo and the others walk up. Just now, it was a matter between Xuanyuan Huangdi and Duan Fengyun as master and disciple, so they, as outsiders, certainly could not come forward to disturb them.

Yin Zhong had already learned everything from Men Jianqiu just now. Yin Zhong and Men Jianqiu walked up to Duan Fengyun, and Men Jianqiu thanked him:

"Hero Duan, thank you for saving Zhong!"

Duan Fengyun said with an embarrassed look:

"Jianqiu, please don't say such things.

The matter with Sha Dage was all caused by me; I should be the one to save him."

Duan Fengyun patted Yin Zhong on the shoulder and said:

"Sha Dage, don't hate me!"

Yin Zhong touched Duan Fengyun's hand and said:

"I don't hate you!

But isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to call me Sha Dage?"

Afterwards, Yin Zhong looked at Yueya and said with a kind expression:

"Feng'er!

Our father and daughter are finally reunited!"

Seeing this, Yueya reached out her arms and hugged Yin Zhong, saying:

"Father!"

The father and daughter hugged each other tightly. Watching the two reunited, Men Jianqiu smiled, while Duan Fengyun stood awkwardly in place, not knowing what to do.

Seeing Duan Fengyun's awkwardness, Men Jianqiu smiled and said:

"Let everyone address each other as they please, to avoid the awkwardness!"

After Men Jianqiu spoke, Yin Zhong also said with a smile:

"Right, Hero Duan, let us address each other as we please!"

Duan Fengyun looked at Yin Zhong and Men Jianqiu, nodded slightly, and said nothing.

At this moment, Yin Tianqi walked up and asked:

"Duan Fengyun, can you tell me now why you killed Yun'er!"

There was only lingering confusion in Yin Tianqi's words, and the previous murderous aura was gone. Clearly, Duan Fengyun's righteous demeanor just now had already won Yin Tianqi over.

Duan Fengyun looked at Yin Tianqi, then at Men Jianqiu. Since the major events were settled, he might as well tell the truth; he would be leaving this world soon anyway.

"To tell you the truth, I am not from this world.

I came to this world through my master's Martial Dao Gate and learned of this world's predestination.

In the predestination, I saw that when Shuiyue Dongtian was unsealed, Zhao Yun pushed Yin Tianxue and Yin Hao into Hell Valley, and Yin Tianxue and Yin Hao died miserably at the hands of Zhao Yun."

Afterward, Zhao Yun forced Yin Zhong into the Demonic Path step by step, and in the end, it was Jianqiu who sacrificed herself to cleanse the curse of the Nether Sword, only then allowing this world to return to peace.

It can be said that Zhao Yun was the culprit behind this series of events, and since I found Zhao Yun truly displeasing, I killed her.

But before I killed her, which was when you all unsealed Shuiyue Dongtian, I once asked her if she could spare Yin Tianxue and Yin Hao.

Yet, in order to sit securely in her position as the Villa Master's wife, she had to kill Yin Tianxue and Yin Hao.

Seeing that Zhao Yun was so resolute, I took action and killed her.

Furthermore, she took off her clothes of her own accord, wanting me to spare her, but I refused.

This is the reason why I killed Zhao Yun.

Yin Tianqi, tell me, if Zhao Yun were left alive, and your younger sister, your father, Jianqiu, and even Tie Feng and others would all die at Zhao Yun's hands, what would you do!"

After hearing Duan Fengyun's words, Yin Tianqi stood frozen on the spot.

He had not expected that the Yun'er he thought about day and night would commit so many heinous acts, and according to what Duan Fengyun said, Zhao Yun would have killed his father and Tianxue when Shuiyue Dongtian was unsealed.

Regarding Duan Fengyun's words, Yin Tianqi did not have the slightest doubt.

In Duan Fengyun's eyes, he did not amount to anything at all, and Duan Fengyun would have no reason to lie to him.

Yin Tianqi stood frozen on the spot, his eyes filled with tears.

Tong Zhan held Yin Tianxue's hand tightly, his heart filled with gratitude toward Duan Fengyun; according to what Duan Fengyun said, if it were not for him, the two of them would have long since been separated by death.

Yin Zhong also held Men Jianqiu's hand tightly; although Duan Fengyun still forced him into the Demonic Path, at least in the end, Men Jianqiu was still alive and had not sacrificed her life to the curse of the Nether Sword.
