Chapter 456 - The Person’s Gone, But the Storage Ring Remains

A few seconds later, Gu Han landed in front of everyone. He smiled slightly, a trace of reminiscence flashing through his eyes. “Everyone, I haven’t seen you all in a long time!”

Yan Qianjue silently shook his head. That’s not quite right. I just saw you not long ago!

Zuo Yang and Yu Miao exchanged a glance, then smiled in relief. “Junior Brother.”

After ten years, Gu Han was no longer the brash young man from back then. His temperament has become increasingly reserved, much more mature than before.

In the distance, Fatty greeted Fu Dahai and his group, “Dad, Old Ancestor, you’re all here?”

The two scolded him simultaneously.

“Unfilial son!”

“What a disgrace!"

Returning to the Central Continent but not even daring to use your own name... The more you live, the worse you get!

Meanwhile, Xue Yu gazed at Gu Han adoringly, joy and sorrow constantly flashing through her heart. You’re the only reason I play, Young Master.

Zhao Mengyou stared at Gu Han as well, not blinking, as if to make up for the absence left by ten years of not seeing him. Only he is worthy to watch me dance!

In the end, she couldn’t help but ask, “Where have you been these past ten years?”

Gu Han was silent for a moment. A hint of sadness, almost imperceptible, flashed deep in his eyes. “I went to take a look at the mortal world.”

The two women’s hearts ached. In their impression, Gu Han had never shown such an expression before. What exactly did he experience?

Yun Fan walked over excitedly. “Brother Gu, I’ve missed you so much!”

Gu Han looked him over a few times. “Not bad. You’ve grown quite a bit. You’re becoming more and more like a person.”

Yun the lackey was so excited he wanted to cry. Here it is, here it is! I’ve spent ten years without hearing Brother Gu’s insults! I missed it so much!

Immediately after, the man and the flood dragon also came together, catching up.

Mei Yun looked on with dissatisfaction. Hurry up! I am itching to act. Are we doing this or not?!

Just then, Liang Le slightly narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Gu Han non-stop. “So you’re that Gu?”

Hah! You’re ordinary and unremarkable! Fine! I can't bully Qiu Qian or the alliance master's descendant, but a native like you?! Ha! How ridiculous!

Gu Han glanced at him. “Who are you? It seems like you don’t like me?”

Yun the lackey turned his head and said angrily, “Brother Gu, this guy is—”

Xiao Yang cut in, “Brother Gu, this man is Liang Le. He is the eldest son of Shuofang City’s city lord. Oh right, he also has a younger sister called Liang—”

Gu Han cut him off, “Get to the point.”

Hua Xing immediately seized the opportunity. “So what happened was, these two young ladies are so kind and moving—”

Instantly, the two of them spoke one after another, recounting everything that had happened in detail. As for the parts they didn’t see, they automatically filled those in as well. Anyway, given Liang Le’s character, one could throw any accusation on him and it would definitely stick.

Yun the lackey glared at the two. What a load of crap! I am his number one lackey!

Yan Qi shook his head. “Liang Le? This person’s name wasn’t chosen well.”

“Huh?”

“Liang Le sounds like ‘cooled’ or ‘dead.’ He’s about to die.”

Xiao Yang and Hua Xing exchanged a glance, their eyes lighting up. Why didn’t we think of that! This little flood dragon’s way of considering problems is rather unique.

Liang Le gritted his teeth at the two of them, wishing he could eat them. “You two ungrateful wretches! You two don’t deserve to be people of the Ancient Cang Realm!”

Strictly speaking, their behavior was similar to those five domains natives who had defected to the outer domain. In fact, they were even more detestable.

Elder Qian and the middle-aged man exchanged a glance, sighing inwardly. We shouldn’t have come!

As for Qiu Qian, he just quietly watched Gu Han in anticipation.

Gu Han ignored Liang Le and looked at Xue Yu and Zhao Mengyou instead. “I’ll help you.”

“Young Master, it’s fine.”

“Don’t be impulsive.”

The two women’s hearts ached, their eyes a little red. They felt that waiting ten years just to see him once was worth it. Nothing else mattered.

Gu Han’s eyes narrowed slightly. “You are my friends.”

The two women felt a sense of loss. Just friends?

Upon seeing that Yan Qianjue and the others were about to advise him, Gu Han waved his hand. “Seniors, don’t worry. Just leave it to me.”

He looked at the ten or twenty people behind Liang Le. “Is that all? Anyone else?”

Xiao Yang nodded, immediately selling everyone out. “Yes! Those people are all accomplices!”

Hua Xing was also unwilling to fall behind. “They all ran away!”

Liang Le was so angry he almost spat blood. Kiss ass lackeys!

Gu Han first looked at that Ascension realm old man. “Kneel, kowtow, and beg for mercy. If I’m in a good mood, I might spare your life.”

Fatty quickly ran over. “Easy does it! This guy is an expert. Don’t destroy his storage ring again!”

Gu Han was emotionless. “Don’t worry.”

During this time, he had been trying to control the white sword intent. Although not yet proficient, it was no longer like at the beginning, where one sword strike left not even a trace of residue behind.

The old man gave a sinister smile. “What little brat are you from! How dare you—”

Before he finished speaking, a vast and majestic sword intent flashed past, immediately landing on the old man. He disintegrated into a cloud of blood mist, leaving only a storage ring falling to the ground, emitting a crisp sound. An Ascension realm cultivator was gone just like that.

Everyone’s hearts suddenly tightened. Where did he go?

Even Yan Qianjue and the other two looked at each other in bewilderment. Why does this sword intent seem a bit familiar?

Gu Han shifted his gaze, landing on one of the old men. “You. Kneel.”

He was the one who had previously defected to the outer domain.

That old man’s heart leaped, and he quickly looked at Liang Le. “Young Master, quickly—”

Two sounds rang out simultaneously. Not far away, Qiu Qian’s pupils contracted. Such great killing intent! Such powerful sword intent!

Secretly, he compared Gu Han to his master and was horrified to realize that his master would stand no chance against this sword intent.

Xiao Yang watched on with emotion. With this sword intent, Brother Gu could certainly take even the Seven-Realm Alliance Master on!

Another young man panicked. “Old Ancestor! How dare you—”

He exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

Yet another young man lost his marbles. “Y-you’re going too far! We’ve already backed down. Are you still going to slaughter us all?!”

Gu Han smiled at him. “I applaud you for saying something so reasonable. It must be difficult. Well, here’s how it works. If I bully you, you have to endure it. If I back down, you have to appreciate it. If I beg for mercy, you have to let me go.”

As his voice fell, that young man also exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

“You—”

Clink!

“Liang—”

Clink!

In the blink of an eye, Liang Le’s die-hard followers all died one by one. The sounds of storage rings hitting the ground were endless. What was originally quite a pleasant sound had now become a symphony of death.

In the distance, Yan Qi sighed. “Little Prince, do you know what the most painful thing in the world is?”

Yun Fan didn’t react. “What?”

“The person dies, but the storage ring remains.”

Yun Fan and everyone else praised in their hearts, This little flood dragon is really a genius!
