The young man in brocade was likewise full of astonishment. He hurriedly swept his gaze around, yet discovered nothing at all.
This outcome left him somewhat unable to sit still. He quickly forced himself to speak.
"Which lofty expert has descended here? You dare meddle in other people's business all the way onto this Gu's head—aren't you afraid of drawing fire onto yourself?"
"Drawing fire onto myself?" An amused voice entered his ears. "Could you be threatening me? A mere strand of demonic thought cast through the air, and you dare throw your weight around here? It isn't as if I, Lin, have never slain an Outer-Domain Heavenly Demon. A trifling strand of demonic thought truly doesn't know whether to live or die."
"What... what demonic thought?"
The young man in brocade's expression chilled, and his face turned extremely ugly.
"Mm, indeed, it can't quite be called a demonic thought. What's laughable is that the demonic thought originally wanted to seize a body, but who would have thought it would instead be devoured in reverse by a mere mortal like you?"
Before the words had even fallen, a flash of azure light appeared. A Startling Rainbow flew over from the horizon like a wandering dragon from beyond the heavens. The radiance drew in, revealing an ordinary-looking youth.

They had parted for more than a thousand years, yet the Ye Family cultivators clearly had not forgotten him. Ye Hongxue and several elders were all overjoyed.
Not even in their dreams had they imagined that after so many years without a shred of news, Lin Xuan would appear precisely at the moment when the Ye Family's life and death hung in the balance.
Was it fate, or coincidence? But no matter what,
