Let's Go, Come Back In with Me

"We've been scammed?"

Ice Emperor's first reaction was this.

Xiao Han remained expressionless, but in reality, his thoughts coincided with those of the Ice Emperor.

There's no other reason than that the Fierce Qi Continent is just too peaceful; there's absolutely no sense of war taking place.

However, soon, both of them frowned in unison. There was no mistake; it was the putrid smell of the Extraterrestrial Evil race.

"Let's go, let's see for ourselves."

Unable to reach any conclusion, the two decided to go home and check on things.

Unexpectedly, just as they stepped into the house, before they even crossed the threshold, a menacing shout startled them.

"Stop!"

"Um?"

A dark shadow streaked across their vision, followed closely by four small tails.

However, Xiao Han quickly relaxed and smiled.

"So it was them."

Who are they?

Ice Emperor was completely bewildered and could only deduce that the other party was an acquaintance of Xiao Han, so they stayed put and waited for the others to arrive.

"Xiao Yan, everyone, how have you been?"

"Ancestor!"

"Xiao Han!"

"It's you!"

"..."

As the group approached, they all gasped in surprise upon seeing Xiao Han's familiar smiling face.

"What? Don't you recognize me?"

Xiao Han spread his arms, spun around in place, and laughed.

Suddenly, a streak of azure sword light pierced through the air, causing everyone's expression to change.

"Hey, Old Ye, isn't this welcome ceremony a bit too elaborate?"

Xiao Han easily shattered the sword light and asked the sword light's owner with a puzzled tone.

When did his usual scene of a prodigal son returning home to reunite with his family, his eyes brimming with tears, turn into a reunion of old friends and brothers, only to be stabbed in the back?

"You bastard, you're finally back!"

Unexpectedly, Ye Jianxin had no intention of having a melodramatic reunion with Xiao Han in the pouring rain. He immediately drew his sword and charged forward, unleashing his ultimate attack.

"The Sword Realm, Dustless Land!"

"The Sword Asks Dust Heart!"

Seeing his old friend charging at him with a sword, Xiao Han's expression turned serious, and he flicked his spear.

"The Northern Kingdom Killing Realm!"

"The Spear Lock, the Dark Sun!"

For a time, swords and spears clashed on the field, and the sound of metal clashing was deafening.

While war rages on one side, Gentle Breeze and Fine Rain prevail on the other.

"May I ask how this gentleman is addressed?"

Xiao Yan cupped his hands to the unfamiliar powerful figure before him, his eyes filled with doubt. For some reason, the latter gave him a strong sense of familiarity.

"My name..."

Ice Emperor lowered their heads and pondered for a moment.

"I'm probably called Ice Spirit, but others usually call me Ice Emperor."

Born and raised by nature, he only has a name he chose himself and an honorific title given to him by others. Over the years, the deceased have passed away, and the current Ice Emperor is still referred to by his honorific title.

"Let's just say we're from the Fierce Qi Continent."

"From the Fierce Qi Continent?"

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Zhu Kun, Xiao Xuan, and Gu Yuan. All three shook their heads in confusion, thinking that this person must be a low-key individual!

With the experience and knowledge of Zhu Kun and others, they were intimately familiar with almost all the powerful figures on the continent over the past ten thousand years. Since they had never heard of the other party's reputation, the only answer was clearly to keep a low profile.

As for the fact that the other party was a figure from tens of thousands of years ago, Xiao Yan did not think much about it.

Since the other party was brought back by Xiao Han, he must be a reliable person. In addition, he clearly did not want to talk too much about the past, so Xiao Yan and the others would not be annoying enough to pry into the matter.

Then, Ice Emperor's straightforward remark caused the expressions on their faces to change drastically.

"Excuse me... has the Fierce Qi Continent been invaded?"

One of Ice Emperor's shortcomings, which Xiao Han criticized, was that he spoke too directly!

Just like this time, without any warning, Xiao Yan and the others were caught off guard and injured.

"How did you find out?"

Xiao Yan asked in a solemn tone.

"It seems to be working well."

Ice Emperor made a decision.

Xiao Yan and the others' reactions were the best answer.

With a helpless glance at the group, Ice Emperor spoke with a hint of melancholy, pointing to Xiao Han, who was sparring enthusiastically with Ye Jianxin in the distance.

"Why do you think I came back with this kid?"

"When that guy learned that something had happened on the Fierce Qi Continent, he rushed back from the Great Thousand World like a madman. During this time, he has been working non-stop without sleep or rest."

"Now it seems we underestimated you."

Ice Emperor's tone shifted to surprise and approval.

"I didn't expect you could even handle the Savage Demon Race Clan, one of the Thirty-Two Great Races of the Extraterrestrial Evil race."

"Your strength..."

Only then did Ice Emperor realize that he couldn't see through the cultivation level of the Black-robed youth in front of him!

Since refining the Plane Spirit and breaking through the Dou Di realm, Xiao Yan, who was no longer clear about his exact cultivation level, said very modestly:

"The kid just got lucky and had a bit of a stroke of luck."

"Ha, your opportunity isn't just luck!"

Ice Emperor looked at Xiao Yan meaningfully and said, "Based on the feeling he got from the other party, he had already guessed what this opportunity was that could help a strong person from Lower Plane break through the limits of that plane."

Gaining the approval of the Plane Spirit is not something that can be easily attributed to luck.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Xiao Yan got straight to the point.

"In fact, there is indeed an exceptionally difficult problem that the Fierce Qi Continent is currently almost unable to solve."

By the end, Xiao Yan's tone was extremely low.

After a brief inquiry, Ice Emperor learned that the problem stemmed from the fact that the land was unusable and highly polluted after the invasion of the Evil Clan. As a result, Xiao Yan and the others had lost a lot of hair because of this.

The Eastern Continent occupies almost one-fifth of the Fierce Qi Continent's area. If this land has to be abandoned, it will have a huge impact on the entire Fierce Qi Continent.

The homeless population of the Eastern Continent alone could become a source of unrest. Even though the Eastern Continent had the highest death toll since the start of the war, the number of survivors remains a terrifying figure.

This large population was temporarily settled in the border areas of the Central Plains, the Northern Continent, and the Southern Continent and Eastern Continent, but this was only a temporary measure. As time went on, the trouble would become much greater, and now the people of the Eastern Continent were already showing signs of causing trouble.

Ice Emperor casually replied that it was a piece of cake.

If it were other issues, an old man like him might not be very clear, but he had worked as a contractor for the transformation of the continent, the transformation project of the Huan Continent, so he was very familiar with the process.

The reason why the Fierce Qi Continent cannot solve this problem is that the power level is too low to resist the erosion of Evil Qi. It's time to let the young people see the power of the torrent of Spiritual Energy.

Where are they?

After Xiao Han and Ye Jianxin finished their "friendly exchange," and the latter vented his resentment at Xiao Han for leaving without saying goodbye, Xiao Han looked around and found that everyone else had disappeared.

"He's so indecisive, is he even a man?"

Ye Jianxin ignored Xiao Han's reaction and firmly locked the latter's forearm with his hand like an iron clamp. The strength was so great that Xiao Han's expression changed.

"Ouch~ Gently, gently!"

"Mind your own business! Getting hurt is a good opportunity for your wife to teach you a lesson."

"He abandons them for decades, not even his wife and children."

"Child? What child?"

Xiao Han was completely confused.

"You'll find out when we get back. Come on, come back with me!"
