Chapter 3300 - 3300 Five Years Later
3300 Five Years Later
Elder Mei was taken aback when he heard this. He had no idea Qin Xin was more open-minded than he was, and that she still trusted Feng Jiu unconditionally. His ageing face became slightly hot for a moment. He didn’t think as clearly as a young girl for a man his age.
When he realised this, he sighed, as if all the feelings he’d been holding back since waking up were finally letting go. He smiled and said, “You’re right, it’s my own fault. Continue practising the guqin! I’m going back.” He then turned around and left.
Qin Xin noticed that his gait was considerably more relaxed than before, so she averted her gaze and began gently plucking the strings. For a moment, the sound of the guqin echoed through the hills, alternating between light and sharp…
Time was like sand slipping through one’s fingers. If someone says it’s fast, it’s not; if someone says it’s slow, it’s hard to catch. The events of the past seemed as fresh as if they had just happened yesterday, but a closer look revealed that five years had passed without one even noticing…
The Upper Realm had not been thriving or peaceful during these five years. The first three years were relatively calm, with no major events or turmoil. However, in the last two years, various forces everywhere had begun to secretly advance……
In just two years, the forces of the Demon Lord, the Skylink Monarch, and the Black Tortoise Monarch formed a tripod, dividing regions as their kings. When compared to other forces, these three could be said to be the most powerful and were the most feared by all parties.
They did not, however, stop gathering forces and instead began to draw forces from all sides. In contrast to the devilry cultivators and Skylink Monarch, who killed those who did not submit to them, Black Tortoise Monarch’s justice won the support of many upright cultivators.
At the moment, all parties were in turmoil, and the situation was becoming increasingly bleak. Nobody seemed to remember Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Feng Jiu, who had disappeared for five years…
This year, at midnight, a man emerged from the Immortal Ascension Ladder of the immortal sect. He was tall and muscular, dressed in black with a long sword in his hand, giving off a majestic and fierce air.
He was none other than Guan Xilin, who had been cultivating for many years in the world of mortals.
Now that he had climbed the Immortal Ascension Ladder with his own strength and arrived in the Upper Realm where his sister was, he inquired everywhere as soon as he descended the ladder.
He had no idea they’d been gone for five years.
Guan Xilin frowned as he entered Cardinal Point City. He expected a lot of trouble when they arrived here, but he didn’t expect the enemy to be so powerful that they vanished without a trace.
Were they in danger? His instinct told him that wasn’t the case. From what he understood of Feng Jiu, they should have been cultivating and advancing their strength somewhere. The fact that they could live in seclusion for five years without keeping up with the world surprised him.
He had no idea when they would return. He wondered what level of strength they would have reached at this point. They shouldn’t be afraid of anyone when they return, right?
He was so excited when he thought of this that he couldn’t help but look forward to the day when he would meet them.
Meanwhile, Du Fan and others were in a town gathering information. When they learned that someone had come down the Immortal Ascension Ladder the night before, they couldn’t help but pay attention and sent someone to inquire.
