Chapter 557 - 556: Yue Xi and Jian 13’s Love Story

Chapter 557: Chapter 556: Yue Xi and Jian 13’s Love Story

Jian Shisan and the youth clashed continuously over the sea. Jian Shisan’s presence was domineering and unrivaled. With a swing of his sword, he could move mountains and rivers. He was fearless, never retreating a single step.

The unseen youth also held his ground. He possessed Dream Realm abilities, allowing him to fight Jian Shisan using dreams.

If he could drag Jian Shisan into his Dream Realm, it would be much more advantageous for him.

But Jian Shisan was no fool; there was no way he would let himself be dragged in.

A final, tremendous BOOM sent the two flying far apart.

Jian Shisan stood there, his expression impassive, his domineering aura leaking out. His Sword Intent ravaged half of the sea.

The unseen youth also stood his ground, the illusion of his Dream Realm occupying the other half of the sea.

Their confrontation had already surpassed any ordinary duel.

This battle could decide life and death.

Jian Shisan stared in the youth’s direction, his gaze seeming to pierce through the Dream Realm’s barrier to see him.

The youth frowned. ’This person is nothing like an ordinary Tier Eight Inquiry cultivator.’

’If I’m careless for even a moment, I could truly fall here.’

’Since when did humans get so strong?’

’And yet the Celestial Favor is so weak.’

He couldn’t understand it.

Finally, he spoke. "Human, who are you?"

Jian Shisan remained silent as he began to move. The instant he did, his sword changed.

A blade forged purely from the Dao itself became his killing move.

As Jian Shisan arrived before the youth, his voice rang out: "Jian. Shi. San."

HUMMM—

Ripples of the Dao instantly spread outwards. A silent explosion reverberated across the sea, one that could be clearly felt even in the Holy Land.

That power was simply despair-inducing.

Yue Xi was a little worried.

Her Senior Brother always seemed to act recklessly. His Dao did not permit retreat, nor did it allow for cowardice.

His Dao was one of unrivaled dominance, meant to conquer the world.

And yet, when it came to her, it was incredibly gentle.

"He has the bearing of an invincible man, and the heart of one too. His future is truly limitless." Silver Armor could sense it—a bottomless well of potential.

He even had the absurd thought that this Jian Shisan might one day catch up to the Martial King.

What an absurd idea that was. The Martial King’s Realm was completely beyond their comprehension.

It was a Legendary Level Realm.

Not long after, Jian Shisan returned.

And the Sea Monsters had retreated.

Jian Shisan’s face was calm, as if nothing had happened.

Yue Xi looked at Jian Shisan and frowned.

Finally, she sighed and said, "Senior Brother, go and rest. You don’t need to worry about what comes next."

Jian Shisan nodded. Without a word, he quickly departed.

Silver Armor naturally took his leave at this time as well.

Since everything was fine here, there was no reason to stay.

Watching Jian Shisan leave, Yue Xi let out a breath. "Just putting on a brave face."

Jian Shisan was injured. Although Yue Xi couldn’t see it, how could she not understand her Senior Brother?

Every time he was injured, he would put on a stern face.

He’d been like that ever since they were children.

He had never once shown a weak or battered side to her.

So, seeing him like this, she knew his injuries were not light this time.

Indeed, Jian Shisan was injured, and his injuries were truly not light.

That person was indeed strong—so strong that Jian Shisan had been unable to kill him.

But it wasn’t a huge problem.

The other person couldn’t be feeling much better.

Jian Shisan would have no fear when he came again. By then, he would have long since recovered, and might even be stronger.

Meanwhile, far away across the sea, in an unseen location, a youth’s face was twisted in a savage expression. He cradled his mangled right hand, his fury at its peak. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

"What a move, Jian Shisan. I’ll remember this technique, and I’ll remember you."

"I’ll remember both of you. One injured my spirit, the other my body. I will get my revenge."

Finally, he left for good.

’Time to find another place to heal.’

’Piling injuries on top of injuries. Who knows how long it will take to recover this time.’

「 」

Jiang Zuo, at this moment, was already on his way to the Tianhe Group.

It wouldn’t be long before he arrived.

He was still using Concealment.

With his Concealment, not only ordinary people but even those with lower Cultivation couldn’t detect him.

For example, the few Fairies who had just walked past, with their Tier Two Cultivation, hadn’t noticed Jiang Zuo at all.

"I wonder how the Holy Land is doing now," one of the passing Fairies suddenly said.

Jiang Zuo paused.

He glanced back at the four Fairies who were walking away.

’The Holy Land they’re talking about... it must be the Yue Lian Holy Land, right?’

’Did something happen at the Holy Land?’

’Or is it because of the Immortal Spiritual Qi?’

Jiang Zuo turned and followed them.

He felt it was necessary to find out more.

If something really had happened, it would be awful for him not to know.

"It should be fine. I heard that the Legendary Level Martial Uncle took action," said the second Fairy.

Hearing this, Jiang Zuo frowned.

’Jian Shisan made a move?’

’That means it was no small matter.’

’The Holy Land sure is plagued with disasters.’

"Not just him. I heard that the senior who appeared during the ritual also took action. There were battles happening all around the Holy Land," said the third Fairy.

’Silver Armor made a move too?’

’So the problem was really that big?’

"But they solved everything. It wasn’t a big deal at all. Otherwise, how could our fellow disciples be peacefully absorbing Spiritual Qi? We really missed out by not being able to go back," said the fourth Fairy.

Jiang Zuo was speechless.

He followed them for a long time after that.

He mainly wanted to hear more about what had happened at the Holy Land.

But after the useful information at the beginning, the rest was basically just gossip.

Gossip about everything under the sun.

Finally, the gossip turned to his Auntie and Jian Shisan.

"I heard that the Legendary Level Martial Uncle and Martial Uncle Yue Xi were childhood sweethearts. They grew up together.

Then, when Martial Uncle Yue Xi became the Saintess, the Legendary Level Martial Uncle’s heart grew restless and he was filled with heart-wrenching pain. From then on, he ignored worldly affairs and focused only on Cultivation and Attaining the Dao."

"I heard that too! Later, the Legendary Level Martial Uncle successfully entered the Dao. He could have pursued an even higher Realm, but in the end, he couldn’t let go of Martial Uncle Yue Xi.

He condensed his own Dao and gave it to Martial Uncle Yue Xi, all so he could protect her."

"And then I know what happened next! The Legendary Level Martial Uncle left, gravely injured, saying that since Martial Uncle Yue Xi was the Saintess, it was impossible for them to be together."

"After that, Martial Uncle Yue Xi didn’t see the Legendary Level Martial Uncle for a hundred years. During that century, she came to understand one thing: she couldn’t let him go either.

In the end, she resolutely stepped down as the Saintess. They say Martial Uncle Yue Xi paid a huge price, even losing all hope of becoming a Tier Seven Daoist."

By this point, all four of them were crying.

It was truly a romantic and tragic love story.

They all felt sorry for Yue Xi and Jian Shisan. They were clearly in love, so why couldn’t they just be together?

Fate was so cruel.

How hateful!

Jiang Zuo, following behind them, was completely baffled.

Seriously, if Jiang Zuo didn’t know the real story, he might have actually believed them.

’These disciples are so good at making up stories. Does their master know?’

’Does Auntie know?’

’Does Jian Shisan know?’

’If they found out, what would they think?’

Jiang Zuo felt he should have recorded that conversation to show Jian Shisan and his Auntie later.

’That would definitely be interesting.’

Too bad he hadn’t recorded it.
