I Knew You'd Come Looking for Me

Sang Ying didn't actually have much of a feeling about traveling back to her own era after ten thousand years.

She felt as if she had only closed her eyes briefly, and when she woke up again, she had returned to ten thousand years ago.

Time seemed to stand still after she was sent away. When Sang Ying opened her eyes, everything was exactly as it was before she left.

As an adult, Jiang Zhuoxue transformed into a giant black dragon, firmly blocking all attacks. His beautiful black scales were marked with many lines, but he refused to back down an inch.

Si Jing and the masked man remained in the same position as when she left, seemingly struggling to hold up the deep tunnel. In the distance, Fang Chi and the others were still trapped in a tight encirclement, unable to escape.

All of this formed a still and rigid world in front of Sang Ying, except for the tunnel behind her, which remained vibrant.

Sang Ying stepped out of the tunnel, and at that moment the world finally came back to life.

A loud dragon roar exploded in Sang Ying's ears. Jiang Zhuoxue was completely enraged. Now that he had sent Sang Ying away, he no longer had any scruples.

Just as he was about to flip his long tail and overturn all the powerful beings in front of him, a familiar voice entered his mind:

Jiang Zhuoxue!

At that moment, Jiang Zhuoxue suddenly froze.

He didn't know why, even though he had just seen Sang Ying off, when he heard that call, his eyes welled up with tears, as if he had been waiting for those words for ten thousand years.

He was only stunned for a moment, but that was the perfect opportunity for the other powerful figures to attack him!

So, while Jiang Zhuoxue was still in a daze after hearing Sang Ying's voice, the elders and sect leaders who had long been plotting with Sect Master Wu exchanged glances and then attacked the black dragon in the sky.

Various kinds of Spiritual Qi rushed towards the huge black dragon in mid-air, and the light of these Technique Method alone seemed to be able to engulf this behemoth.

Although Jiang Zhuoxue had regained her senses the moment they made their move, it was still too late.

The powerful beings' attacks arrived in the blink of an eye, and Jiang Zhuoxue had no choice but to grit her teeth and endure them.

He was thankful that he had recovered all his scales earlier, otherwise he would probably have suffered a great loss here today.

The black dragon's eyes were slightly closed, as if it were afraid of the overwhelming Spiritual Qi.

But he stopped abruptly halfway through his self-defense maneuver.

Amidst a dazzling burst of Technique Method light, a familiar figure suddenly appeared before him. It was as if a gaping hole had been smashed open in Jiang Zhuoxue's head, and a memory buried deep within his mind came alive at that moment.

Countless images assaulted his consciousness, fragments of the past flashing before his eyes.

The sword, imbued with the powerful aura of the Dragon Race, blocked the giant dragon's path. The sword appeared extremely small in front of the dragon, but after the female cultivator poured all her Spiritual Qi into it and swung it, it directly overturned all the attacks, including those from the powerful beings behind them.

All those present could see was the powerful beings launching an attack on Jiang Zhuoxue, with countless rays of spiritual light surging towards him as if to immediately take the black dragon's life.

But before anyone could feel panic or smugness, the powerful ice-attribute Spiritual Qi was swept away by a terrifying force, scattering all the cultivators who had surrounded them!

In a blinding white light, Jiang Zhuoxue finally saw the figure clearly.

His tense mind suddenly relaxed, and the dragon instantly transformed back into human form, plummeting from the sky.

Upon seeing this, Sang Ying immediately sheathed her Dragon Abyss Sword and caught Jiang Zhuoxue as she fell.

The two landed safely on the ground, and the person in her arms struggled to open their eyes:

I knew you would come back to me, you said it.

This was the first thing Jiang Zhuoxue said to Sang Ying after they met again.

They had been separated for far too long. Even though Jiang Zhuoxue tried his best not to forget Sang Ying's appearance, and even though he always remembered their promise, ten thousand years was too long. So long that the five interconnected small worlds had been separated. How could Jiang Zhuoxue's memories not be erased?

When he suddenly couldn't remember what Sang Ying looked like one day, Jiang Zhuoxue finally panicked.

So he made a decision—to seal away this memory of Sang Ying.

He could not preserve these memories permanently; only by sealing them away could he continue to retain his most precious memories.

Jiang Zhuoxue grasped Sang Ying's wrist tightly, just as she had in the secret realm ten thousand years ago, yet without causing her any pain. "You've finally returned."

"Mm." Sang Ying nodded, looking at Jiang Zhuoxue as if she could see the image of that fragile boy in his eyes, which had now returned to normal. "I'm back. I've come back to fulfill my promise to you."

"Okay." Jiang Zhuoxue's voice was slightly choked.

Finally, unable to hold on any longer, Jiang Zhuoxue fell into a deep sleep in Sang Ying's arms.

Upon seeing this, Si Jing immediately realized that Sang Ying had probably returned from ten thousand years ago. Although both of them were Jiang Zhuoxue's clones and had inherited some of Jiang Zhuoxue's memories, those memories about ten thousand years ago were taboo to him, so he hadn't shared them with them at all.

However, it seems that this important memory is still about Sang Ying?

"Si Jing." Sang Ying looked up and called out to one of them.

Si Jing immediately went to her side, and then heard Sang Ying instruct, "Please take Jiang Zhuoxue and the others away from here. They don't need to go too far, just outside the Limitless Sect's territory."

If Sang Ying were to ask Si Jing and the other person to escape with everyone, he would probably find it somewhat difficult. However, simply getting them away from here would be relatively easy for Si Jing and the other person.

Without a word, one of them carried the unconscious Jiang Zhuoxue while the other rushed to the side of Fang Chi and the others who were surrounded. They swiftly created an opening and snatched them back from the hands of the Black Tortoise Realm people.

Sang Ying's second move allowed the powerful figures to witness the immense power of the Dragon Abyss Sword. After seeing that Jiang Zhuoxue had not been taken far away, and that Sang Ying was still obediently standing on the Dragon-Slaying Platform without leaving, they were impressed.

They all thought the group had given up, and many immediately became interested in Sang Ying's sword.

In the end, Sect Master Ji only managed to fight Sect Master Wu to a draw. After the two separated, Fu Shuangjiang, who had already received instructions from Sang Ying, stepped forward and pulled her sect leader aside.

"What does Fellow Sang Ying mean by this? Are you finally going to surrender?" an elder asked with a smile.

Some even bluntly stated, "If you want to live, hand over the sword you used earlier, and we will forgive your offense today!"

Upon hearing this, many people present chimed in with their agreement.

But Sang Ying laughed when she heard this. She glanced at her friends and fellow disciples who had already left the Limitless Sect's territory before speaking with relief, "Everyone, have you ever witnessed a lightning tribulation?"

A muffled boom exploded above everyone's heads. When they looked up, they were shocked to find that a Limitless Sect had suddenly gathered above the Wuji Sect!

"This time, I'll be the one to properly entertain you all!" Sang Ying's return begins with this Nascent Soul Lightning Tribulation!

A note from the author:

Next, it's Sang Ying's turn to deal with the others!

See you tomorrow!
