February 1st, the Spring Festival.
Thump, thump, thump...
Just after midnight, dazzling fireworks lit up the skies over major cities in Donglin.
One after another.
Through the brightly colored firelight, one could vaguely see a streak of light, like a shooting star, streaking across the night sky thousands of meters above. But before anyone could even gasp in surprise, it vanished in an instant.
That was the trail of light and shadow left by the Heavenly River.
With its engine running at full power, the Heavenly River was traveling at an extremely high speed and had already entered the Donglin Region.
However, they did not go directly to Qingshan City.
Instead, it detoured to Donglin's Capital City.
The area has convenient transportation, making it easy for the filming crew of "The Chosen Battle" to return home and spend the Spring Festival with their families.
Ning Chuan is preparing to end the Chosen Battle.
Having mastered the Nine-Wheel Method, he no longer needed to travel to various places to challenge powerful individuals.
The Donglin Government fully supported this.
As early as when Ning Chuan defeated the Combat Divine General, Donglin gained glory and brilliance in the Chosen Battle, surpassing all other administrative regions.
Moreover, Ning Chuan has now killed Wang Kun in one battle and been crowned the Heavenly King.
No one dared to disobey orders.
"Huh?! We've already reached the Capital City."
Lu Mengyue glanced out the window and saw the brightly lit city outside, and said in surprise.
She and Ning Chuan chatted idly on the viewing platform the whole way.
They were very focused on their conversation.
I didn't really notice how much time had passed.
"We should arrive in Qingshan City by dawn, just in time for breakfast on Spring Festival."
Ning Chuan chuckled casually.
During the conversation, the Heavenly River swept through the air and landed at the airport in the Capital City.
The filming crew of "The Chosen Battle" exited the cabin and headed to their respective flights.
Everyone had a smile on their face, and they were in a very good mood.
The mission was successfully completed.
They can also go home to reunite with their families during the Spring Festival.
This was truly an unexpected delight.
Lu Mengyue stood by the window, watching the departing figures of the group. Seemingly remembering something, she turned to Ning Chuan and asked, "When are you leaving?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan thought for a moment and said, " Spring Festival, let's do it tomorrow."
His combat strength is comparable to that of Heavenly King.
But it's far from time to relax.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Lu Mengyue's eyes.
She really wanted to spend more time with Ning Chuan.
However, she did not say anything to stop her.
She knew that with Martial Star's imminent revival, Ning Chuan bore a heavy responsibility.
Lu Mengyue smiled brightly and said, "I'll take you there, but before that, you'd like to chat with me a bit more."
As she spoke, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she quickly added, "I rarely see anyone of Heavenly King caliber."
Ning Chuan smiled and nodded, "Okay, what do you want to talk about?"
"Let me think about it."
Lu Mengyue twirled a strand of her hair in her hand and asked, "Where are you going next?"
" North Sea Domain."
Ning Chuan said directly, "I need to go to the Divine Martial Stele."
This was a plan he had made long ago.
The secret realm inside the Divine Martial Stele opens once every ten years, but the timing is not fixed and there is a margin of error.
Not big.
Two or three days at most.
Judging by the dates, the Divine Martial Stele will definitely open before the end of February this year.
There are many powerful martial arts techniques inside.
He went a few days in advance to make thorough preparations.
Moreover, due to the revival of the Martial Star, powerful figures have gathered in the North Sea Domain, so he might be able to obtain Realm-Breaking Dao Fruit.
" Xiao Ning, I'll go with you."
At this moment, Lu Zhan strode over, with Wang Ya beside him, holding his hand, her expression slightly complicated.
There was worry and unease.
There is also happiness and joy.
Ning Chuan smiled slightly and politely declined, saying, " Uncle Lu, no need."
Mengyue and Aunt Wang just got back, you can have a get-together.
"There are Galaxy University and the military's Heavenly King in the North Sea Domain, so my safety is not a problem."
"It has nothing to do with you. Right now, I'm powerless to protect you even if I wanted to."
Lu Zhan shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "I need to go see Lin Fengyang."
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Recalling Lu Zhan and Wang Ya's previous discussion, he roughly understood Lu Zhan's plan.
"You want to challenge Lin Fengyang to a duel?"
"Yes."
Lu Zhan directly admitted that he had this idea as early as when Ning Chuan returned to Donglin.
Lu Zhan turned his head, glanced at Wang Ya and Lu Mengyue, and said, "You brought them back. As Xiao Ya's husband and Mengyue's father, I should make sure they have a comfortable place to live at home."
Upon hearing this, Lu Mengyue became anxious and said, "Dad, should we wait a little longer? Lin Fengyang is Heavenly King..."
Before she could finish speaking, Wang Ya stopped her and said, "Trust your father."
When she first heard Lu Zhan mention this, her initial reaction was also to refuse.
The risk is too high.
But after much deliberation, I agreed.
She understands her husband.
I'm willing to believe him.
" Uncle Lu, how confident are you of winning?"
After thinking for a moment, Ning Chuan did not offer any advice, but instead asked a question.
His personality is somewhat similar to Lu Zhan's.
There are always some things you have to do yourself.
"Not high."
Lu Zhan remained calm, spoke slowly, and said firmly, "But, we can fight."
"OK."
Ning Chuan stopped asking questions, nodded, and said, "I'll go with you, just in case Lin Fengyang tries anything."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhan pondered for a moment and then agreed.
His fight with Lin Fengyang, regardless of who wins, will not last long.
Lu Mengyue and Wang Ya felt relieved.
With Ning Chuan by my side, even if we lose the Lu Zhan, our lives will not be in danger.
" Ning Chuan, thank you."
Don't stand on ceremony with me.
The Heavenly River soared into the sky, traveling at breakneck speed, and arrived at the Lu Family at sunrise.
The Lu Family already knew about this and prepared a grand welcoming ceremony.
Ning Chuan disliked crowds, so he only showed up briefly when leaving the cabin and then did not participate again.
As the main characters, Lu Zhan and his family of three certainly couldn't avoid it.
I'll come find you as soon as I'm done with my work.
Lu Mengyue said softly.
"Can."
Ning Chuan arrived at the classic little building where the Lu Family entertained distinguished guests. Since he had stayed there once, the Lu Family had treated it as his private residence and had not opened it to the public since.
While in the living room, Ning Chuan didn't sit idle either; he picked up his phone and looked at the congratulatory messages he had received.
Approximately several dozen.
Not many.
But this is mainly because very few people know his contact information.
Otherwise, the messages received alone would be enough to fill up the phone's storage.
Ning Chuan reviewed each item one by one.
Out of politeness, he generally responded to everything.
However, due to a lack of vocabulary
The only acceptable reply is "Happy Together".
Qin Ya also sent a message, pre-set to be sent at a specific time.
She is currently in seclusion, just like Qin Lang, attempting to condense the Heart of Law.
After replying to the message, Ning Chuan flipped his left hand and took out the book about the Divine Martial Stele that the Combat Divine General given him, and began to read it.
He read very quickly; before noon, he had already read it two or three times, memorized all the content, absorbed everything, and understood it all.
Just then, Lu Mengyue came running over.
Are you done with work?
Ning Chuan put down his book and said with a smile.
Lu Mengyue rolled her big eyes and said aggrievedly, "You're still laughing? It took me so much effort to get away."
Ning Chuan raised his hands in surrender and said, "It was my fault. What do you want to do now?"
Lu Mengyue looked at Ning Chuan, smiled, and said, "Let's chat."
What to talk about?
"It will be all right!"
