Hard to Meet Again

Next, Chen Yongjie spoke with Ling Qiming to confirm that the Ling Family was already in outer space. He then contacted several old friends of New Star, hinting that it was time for them to leave.

Wang Xuan also contacted Zhao Zejun and told him that demons were appearing in large numbers, and places like the Zhao Family's were their ideal targets.

"We are preparing to leave soon." Zhao Zejun's voice was heavy. He missed Zhao Qinghan very much, but she had not returned for a long time.

"Uncle Zhao, don't worry. I will go to the secret place to find her after a while and I will definitely bring her back. You guys go first!" Wang Xuan did indeed have this plan.

He really wanted to kill that old fox. It didn't keep its word; it hadn't sent Zhao Qinghan and Wu Yin off that life-bearing planet in all this time.

Now, he needs to improve his strength and reach his limit, otherwise even if he encounters the old fox one day, he may not be its match.

"Wang Xuan, thank you for helping me find Qing Han. Please don't let anything happen to her." Zhao Zejun was very worried after not seeing his daughter for so long.

"Okay!" Wang Xuan nodded solemnly in response.

Soon after, he spoke with Wu Chenglin and others.

When Wang Xuan contacted the Zhou Family, Zhou Yun told him that they had completely "laid down" and were not planning to leave.

Wang Xuan was speechless for a moment, but everyone has their own choices. He had given them a friendly reminder, and it was up to them to decide what to do.

"My family directly invited the descendants of the Transcendent Immortals to our home, and we opened our secret vault to them. You could call it a collaboration," Zhou Yun explained.

As for himself, he recently climbed the New Moon with Great Immortal Huang and others, and also took those people out to sea; he seems to have a good relationship with them.

Wang Xuan declined to comment on his choice, because no one can predict the future, and no one can truly see the big picture.

If a Transcendent Immortals financial groups emerge and gain absolute dominance in the future, the Zhou Family's choice may not necessarily be wrong.

However, Zhou Yun is indeed somewhat useless and has no chance of cultivation in this life. Last time, Wang Xuan also contacted him to go to the Zhong family, wanting to take him into the Inner Scenery Realm.

But Zhou Yun said he didn't want to continue down this path; one experience in the secret realm was enough.

"Take care!" Wang Xuan said, ending the call.

Then, he couldn't wait to go and launch his warships to blast the demons. These creatures that had returned from behind the behind the Great Curtain were far too arrogant. They thought that once they returned, the human world would truly be theirs.

He and Chen Yongjie agreed that these demons with physical bodies should be decisively destroyed using modern technological weapons.

"Let's be patient for now!"

At this time, it was getting slightly dark. The Zheng family would arrive in a few hours, and no accidents could happen during this process.

"No, I have to go and scout ahead. What if the Zheng family is a trap? We might die a terrible death this time."

Wang Xuan suddenly remembered that his uncle had crossed over into another world without a word last time, but luckily he was killed by demons in Su City.

Otherwise, problems might be discovered based on Zheng Wu's daily habits and details.

Wang Xuan believed that the Zheng family's true immortals had some doubts about him.

He and Old Chen rushed to the wetlands Pingyuan City without stopping. The hilly area next to this corresponds to an altar built by the Zheng family behind the Great Curtain.

Wang Xuan sat down cross-legged, his spirit entered the earth of his life, pulled up the God Slaying Banner that was stuck there, and then stepped on the rising mist. His figure gradually disappeared and entered the world behind the Great Curtain.

The dilapidated post station, the hanging lanterns, and the darkness ahead remained unchanged.

He hurried forward, and as he passed through the darkest area, he stared blankly at the paper money falling from the sky, but he couldn't care less about that now.

Soon after, he saw the huge altar in front of him, which was a key point in the Zheng family's journey through the grand scheme of things.

Sure enough, some members of the Zheng family were already making preparations. Several people were sitting on the altar, talking, while many figures were setting up around the grand altar, checking whether the inscriptions were blurry and whether the extraordinary energy was sufficient.

Wang Xuan lay in wait in the distance, and only after a long time did he leave silently.

Once he regained his senses, he called out to Chen Yongjie and they ran away, quickly leaving the area.

"What's wrong? They're not really going to get back at you, are they?" Old Chen asked.

"The supplies are fine; they're all laid out on the altar. From their conversation, I know they're genuine Immortal Nectar and Five-Colored Soil. The problem is, they're discussing how to protect me without hurting my pride, silently smearing a drop of golden blood on me."

"Holy crap, lightning! That's Zheng Yuantian's blood, isn't it?!" Chen Yongjie was shocked.

Wang Xuan nodded and said, "I guessed so. They actually wanted to keep it from Zheng Wu."

He felt that those immortals were also unaware of the situation, and that it was likely that the peerless expert Zheng Yuantian was about to make a move.

He frowned and said, "Last time, I used the Golden Tree and the God Slaying Banner to destroy two drops of his golden blood. Could it be that he sensed something? Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like that, with the curtain in between."

"Holy crap, could this old guy also be eyeing my physical body?" Wang Xuan's scalp tingled with fear.

Zheng Wu was practicing the "Immortal Embryo," which some also called the "Demon Embryo." As an unparalleled expert, Zheng Yuantian was naturally even more proficient in it.

"Another peerless expert has set his sights on my body?" How could Wang Xuan not have any doubts?

Is Zheng Yuantian trying to gain another powerful incarnation, or is he simply impatient and hoping to occupy the body with its special Inner Scenery Realm to bring his true body over?

"This time, there's no way to avoid a falling out. This charade can't go on anymore; it's getting more and more dangerous. I'd better run away quickly and focus on improving myself!"

Anyway, I've got the Heavenly Medicine and collected almost all the scriptures. Next, I'll try to raise my strength to the ceiling allowed in the mortal world.

Old Chen said, "It's about time. Let's go Mu City. We need to be decisive when we make our move."

Wang Xuan nodded and said, "This time, the leader is Zheng Wu's other uncle. It seems I'm going to have to kill my uncle this time."

Suddenly, Zhou Yun contacted him, which surprised Wang Xuan. Hadn't they just spoken on the phone not long ago? He was somewhat puzzled.

"Don't use the large warship that Old Zhong gave you recently. The demons in the Demon Ancestor's camp are colluding with certain financial groups and have occupied part of their bases. Once your warship takes off, its propulsion system will be destroyed, blowing you to pieces. This information is reliable!" Zhou Yun urgently informed him.

Wang Xuan was horrified. Not long ago, they had planned to use that warship to fight the demons. They never expected that someone in the demon camp would be waiting to be hunted down.

"These demons are too adaptable. Are they going to take control of the warships?!" Old Chen felt a chill run down his spine. The New Star was in complete chaos and becoming increasingly dangerous.

"Where did this news come from?" Wang Xuan asked. He guessed that someone had found out that he had secretly helped the Qian Family and used warships to kill demons, and the demons wanted to take revenge on him.

"Kong Yun told me this, probably because he wanted to curry favor with you through me," Zhou Yun said.

"Thank him for me!" Wang Xuan hung up the phone.

Under the moonlight, Mu City, where Old Chen fought the Sun family's robots and superhumans, the ground was riddled with craters, and most of the mountains and forests had been destroyed.

The Zheng family members walked in the moonlight from the horizon, their Blood Shadow and covered in true bones.

"My intuition tells me there's something wrong with my nephew. What a pity, Zheng Wu was a child of unparalleled talent!" A Blood Shadow sighed softly.

"Huh? What?" The others were all surprised.

"His posture is wrong; it's different from Wu'er's." Zheng Wu's fourth uncle sighed.

"Then let's hurry up and leave, we can't give him immortal resources!" someone said. They were Mental Communication, so they didn't have to worry about being overheard by Wang Xuan in the distance.

Zheng Wu's fourth uncle shook his head and said, "No need. My ancestor told me back then that no matter who he is, he will be given resources. This is like... raising a pig. I estimate that once he's fattened up, we'll slaughter him."

Under the bright moon, several night birds cooed as they flew into the distance, and the two sides drew closer.

Old Chen, who was hiding in the shadows, was the first to make a move. Holding a Snow White Conch, he blew it loudly, which immediately shattered several Blood Shadow, causing blood mist to explode.

This is a top-tier treasure obtained from the Qin Family. It is a conch shell left by Shakyamuni. Not long ago, when facing demons at the Ling Family, Chen Yongjie did not dare to use it, fearing that the Buddhists would ask for it back.

Wang Xuan also made his move, waving the God Slaying Banner. With a fierce swirling motion, he stripped six pieces of immortal bones from the exploding blood mist and held them in his hand.

Another Blessed Land Fragment fell to the ground. It was used for storage and contained immortal resources, and probably also a drop of Zheng Yuantian's golden blood. Wang Xuan didn't dare to pick it up for the time being.

Thump!

Old Chen activated the Soul Locking Bell, while Wang Xuan once again waved the God Slaying Banner to annihilate the remaining spiritual entities!

There was no suspense in this battle; all six members of the Zheng family were wiped out.

A moment later, Wang Xuan and Old Chen prepared the Golden Tree, the God Slaying Banner, the Soul Locking Bell, and other items. They quickly activated the Blessed Land Fragment and swiftly rolled out a crystal bottle containing golden droplets.

"Huh, it's completely silent. Is it sealed?"

"It can be used directly after activation, which is a Great Killer Weapon, but keeping it in my possession always feels like planting a huge time bomb for myself."

After thinking it over, Wang Xuan decided not to take the risk and threw the golden blood into the septic tank.

Whether the golden liquid eventually dilutes and dissipates naturally, or gradually loses its extraordinary properties as the environment deteriorates, it indicates that it poses no threat in the future.

"Perfect! Time to divide the spoils!" Wang Xuan was completely satisfied. He had obtained the Heavenly Medicine, and the Immortal Nectar and Five-Colored Soil, among other Immortal resources, had also been delivered to him. What more could he ask for in life?

The only downside was that when he tried to fire a few energy cannon shots at the demons, he almost became their target himself. He wondered which organization they were cooperating with.

"No rush, we'll definitely kill a bunch of demons before we leave!" Chen Yongjie said.

Wang Xuan took out the stone scripture, but he couldn't open it by other means. Only by circulating the Shakya True Scripture could he make it glow, and then... he opened it.

There were no scriptures inside; it was like a stone box containing half Lotus Seed, radiating a hazy glow and carrying a faint fragrance.

"This is the Nine Tribulation Heavenly Lotus!" Wang Xuan looked at it and saw five lotus seeds in the Lotus Seed, each one plump and crystal clear, exuding a rich and irresistible life force.

"Old Ling, come pick us up quickly." Chen Yongjie contacted Ling Qiming in outer space. This was Lotus Seed obtained from the Ling Family. Since he had agreed, he naturally had to send out a lotus seed.

Soon after, the two traveled to outer space in a spaceship.

Wang Xuan immediately checked the Ling Family to see if anyone was possessed, to prevent any mysterious spirits from lurking in the warship fleet.

Fortunately, everything is normal and there is nothing wrong.

Wang Xuan handed a crystal-clear, plump Heavenly Medicine Seed, shimmering with nine faint rays of light, to Ling Qiming, saying, "This is the seed of the Nine Tribulation Heavenly Lotus. It's best to place it in a container with a high concentration of Super Material."

Chen Yongjie spoke up, saying, "Old Ling and I brought everything we could from their family's secret vault. I've examined it carefully, and the most precious item is an Inner Scenery Realm treasure. Old Ling wanted to give it to me, but I think it would be very useful for Ling Wei's cultivation. There are still quite a few Mysterious Factor inside."

When it was finally time to part, Ling Qiming looked at Wang Xuan, then at his daughter standing quietly not far away. He felt a pang of sadness, but ultimately said nothing.

Finally, he turned and left, and Old Chen followed him out.

"We... will never see each other again." Ling Wei's face was deathly pale as she stared blankly at Wang Xuan and said, "The Ling Family may never return."

Then, she silently shed tears. This time, she and Wang Xuan would never meet again.

Wang Xuan looked at her and said softly, "When you get to the other side of the starry sky, you need to take care of your health, exercise, and cultivate yourself. In this new environment, everything is a fresh start. Take care!"

Ling Wei's eyes were blurred with tears, which kept sliding down her cheeks, but she did not make a sound of crying.

Seeing this, Wang Xuan sighed softly and noticed the Inner Scenery Treasure she carried. He beckoned it over. He took out a piece of immortal bone from his own body, used the God Slaying Banner to cut it open, revealing the decaying Inner Scenery Realm, and infused the treasure with a massive amount of Mysterious Factor.

At the same time, he also introduced some Mysterious Factor into Ling Wei's body.

Finally, when the decaying Inner Scenery Realm collapsed and disappeared, the Inner Scenery Treasure was almost filled with Mysterious Factor.

Ling Wei stared at him, motionless for a long time, her face pale, tears streaming silently down her face. Finally, she slowly turned her frail body, covered her mouth to stifle her sobs, and ran out.

On the way back, Chen Yongjie sighed and said nothing. He and Wang Xuan returned to the land of New Star to wrap things up before embarking on their own journey.

"Professor Lin, have you considered leaving New Star?" Wang Xuan asked him on the phone.

Professor Lin shook his head and declined, saying that his family was here and he did not want to travel far.

Ultimately, Qin Cheng and Guan Lin will return to their Old Earth with Wang Xuan and Old Chen, as they were originally from that place.
