I'm Back

"Is this what they call the Heart of the Devil God?"

The woman in the blue dress appeared suddenly, as if tearing through space, and immediately attracted everyone's attention as soon as she spoke.

As Lan Fusheng helped her stagger forward, Dong Fuzhu immediately recognized her as Sang Ying, who had been missing for several days!

At that moment, not only Dong Fuzhu, but even Duan Hanyi shed tears.

"Senior sister!" Dong Fuzhu couldn't help but speak first.

Sang Ying put away the Heart of the Devil God, looked up at the crowd, and landed beside these old friends in a few steps.

Almost before Sang Ying could stand still, Dong Fuzhu abandoned Lan Fusheng and threw herself into her arms.

Feeling the familiar scent in her arms, Dong Fuzhu said, half complaining and half aggrieved, "I thought I was really never going to see you again, Senior Sister! Where did you go? You scared me to death!"

She even thought that if she didn't see her senior sister one last time before she died, her senior sister probably wouldn't be able to rest in peace.

Fortunately, Heavenly Dao wasn't so cruel; at least she got to see her senior sister before she died.

Sang Ying quickly calmed Dong Fuzhu down before stepping forward and bowing to Sang Zheng and his wife, saying, "Father, Mother, I'm back."

The two powerful cultivators, who had weathered countless storms, burst into tears on the spot. Wen Miaoshu even threw himself into his daughter's arms and wept uncontrollably.

Even though the couple kept telling each other, "Our daughter is so smart, she'll be alright," and "Our daughter is so Sang Zheng, she'll definitely protect herself," seeing their daughter engulfed in flames still left them with a deep sense of despair, no matter how much they tried to convince themselves.

The restoration of the Cultivation World could not heal their wounds, nor could the widespread fame of the Flowing Light Sword Sect bring them joy.

Even when Qi Yaoji forcefully invaded the Flowing Light Sword Sect and pretended to kill them, the couple felt a sense of relief that it was finally over.

In front of outsiders, the two always pretended to have overcome their grief, but it wasn't until Sang Ying reappeared that they completely broke down.

Wen Miaoshu kept stroking Sang Ying's back. Looking at her daughter, whose aura had become even stronger, she felt as if she were dreaming.

"You're finally back. I really thought something had happened to you. My heart was breaking." Wen Miaoshu couldn't see how many injuries her daughter had sustained, but when she thought of Sang Ying being engulfed by the fire, she knew that her only child must have endured a great deal of suffering.

Yet this child, who had suffered such a great injustice, reappeared at the crucial moment and saved them all.

Wen Miaoshu and Sang Zheng felt deeply ashamed of their own incompetence, and their heartache for Sang Ying grew even stronger.

Sang Ying was not one to wallow in grief. She gently stroked her mother's back and placed her back into Sang Zheng's arms.

"Father, Mother, now that I'm back, I'll have the chance to spend more time with you. We'll have plenty of time to catch up, but before that, please allow me to deal with those uninvited guests from the Flowing Light Sword Sect." Sang Ying's words trailed off with an undeniable chill.

Wen Miaoshu and Sang Zheng did not stop her. Although they felt sorry for the child, they also knew what kind of person their daughter was.

What she needs is not her parents' protection, but the trust of her family.

Wen Miaoshu immediately wiped away her tears and said hastily, "Okay, go ahead without worry. Your father and I will wait for you to come back home."

Upon hearing this, Sang Ying's face immediately lit up with a smile.

While the family of three reminisced, the others were also busy.

Although it seemed that Sang Ying had taken away the Heart of the Devil God from Qi Yaoji, they couldn't be sure that this witch might have other Law Treasure that she could secretly slip away with.

So several powerful beings joined forces to set up a barrier around Qi Yaoji, trapping her and the "evil spirits" who followed her, giving them no chance to escape.

When they saw Sang Ying approaching, everyone quickly made way for her, their every action showing respect for Sang Ying.

Even the sect leader of Ten Thousand Daos Born subconsciously adopted the attitude of an equal when facing Sang Ying.

"You've arrived. This witch has committed heinous crimes within the Flowing Light Sword Sect. Have you decided how to deal with her?" the sect leader asked.

Sang Ying said, "I have already made a decision on this matter. Once my disciple gets all the information from Qi Yaoji, I will deal with her along with these traitors who have abandoned the Human Race."

Hearing the coldness in Sang Ying's words, the remaining cultivators who hadn't fainted knelt down and begged for mercy, hoping that Sang Ying would soften her heart and spare their lives.

However, calling them cultivators is clearly inappropriate, as these people all show signs of demonic transformation to varying degrees, with the manager almost completely turning into Devil Race.

This is also why his previous act of delivering invitations angered those sects—how could someone about to become Devil Race have the right to set foot in their righteous immortal sects?

Hearing these people's wails, Sang Ying didn't even flinch. They were crying miserably, but Sang Ying had heard that many disciples of the Flowing Light Sword Sect refused to submit and ended up dying at the hands of these people!

Not wanting to waste time on these people, Sang Ying quickly instructed a few Sword Sect disciples who had recovered to take these people away and lock them up properly.

As for Qi Yaoji, before she was taken away, Sang Ying poured a stream of Spiritual Power into her meridians. As a result, Qi Yaoji, whose body contained both Demonic Qi and Spiritual Qi, could do nothing but suffer pain.

Having dealt with these people temporarily, Sang Ying turned her gaze to Gu Huaiwei, who was not far away.

He still had that ethereal face, but now it was terrifyingly pale, as if the slightest movement would cost him half his life.

The wedding dress he wore made his snow-white face appear even more frail.

"Cough cough cough, you're finally back." Gu Huaiwei noticed Sang Ying's gaze, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. "I didn't expect you to actually come back alive."

Sang Ying's face remained expressionless. "Yes, there are many things you can't imagine."

Being able to return from that world was something Sang Ying hadn't expected.

She and Jiang Zhuoxue heard the message in the talisman together. When the talisman turned to ashes, Sang Ying's heart sank.

She knew very well that time moved at different rates in the two worlds, and perhaps by the time she received the communication talisman, the Flowing Light Sword Sect would already have been destroyed.

Even with the worst-case scenario in mind, Sang Ying was still prepared to take a gamble with Jiang Zhuoxue.

They didn't hide such a big matter from the Beastmen. After discussing it, Sang Ying didn't dare to risk opening the passage completely. Instead, she opened it only to a size that could accommodate one person, and she tried to return to the Cultivation World first.

Sang Ying herself hadn't expected that her return would be so timely.

Fortunately, she returned just in time, and this whole farce was finally coming to an end.
