Chapter 1383 Return to Great Zhou City (1/2)

The crowd on the city walls were shocked speechless for a time when they saw the mysterious figure turn around, disbelief flooding their eyes.

No one had expected the mysterious expert to be the very Zhou Yuan, who had left the Great Zhou Empire many years prior!

Shen Taiyuan’s mouth hung open, not daring to speak for a time. Although there was a warm smile on the young man’s familiar face, Shen Taiyuan could faintly feel a dreadful pressure spreading from the young man’s body.

This pressure was something Shen Taiyuan had never felt before even from sect master Qing Yang!

Zhou Yuan gazed at the deathly silent group and chuckled. “Although it’s been years since we last met, you guys don’t seem very friendly.”

“You...are you really Zhou Yuan?” asked Shen Taiyuan in disbelief. Although he had received some news of Zhou Yuan from the Cangxuan Sect, it was likewise quite outdated like Xiao Tianxuan’s. At the very least, news of the Stone Dragon Secret Domain had yet to spread to the closed-off Cangxuan Heaven.

Hence, he did not dare to believe that the disciple from Saint Genesis Peak had already become so strong...

Shen Taiyuan felt a little stupid after these words left his mouth. Even if it had been quite a number of years, the young man’s appearance and presence was still recognizable at a single glance.

“Yuan’er!”

One of the figures finally returned to her senses after and rushed towards Zhou Yuan. Who else could it be but Qin Yu?

Zhou Yuan hurriedly caught her. Her eyes were red and filled with tears as she kept touching him all over as if unable to believe he was real. “Yuan’er, is it really you?”

Zhou Yuan felt a sour feeling in his nose as warmth fluttered in his heart. He placed Qin Yu’s trembling hands on his face and said in the most gentle manner possible, “I’m sorry mother, I’ve let you worry for many years.”

Qin Yu forcefully shook her head, her voice choking with emotion, “Yuan’er, all that matters is that you’re safe.”

Zhou Yuan patted her back to console her before he looked towards Zhou Qing, who was still dazedly staring at him, and smiled, “Father, why do you always seem to be in trouble when I return?”

Zhou Qing stared at Zhou Yuan’s face. It still looked as young as before, but there was no longer any sign of immaturity. In its place, was a deepness that was near impossible to penetrate. It was clear that Zhou Yuan had changed tremendously over the past dozen years.

However, his speaking mannerisms were exactly the same as before.

Zhou Qing rubbed his eyes and happily scolded, “Stinking brat, you always make fun of your father.”

In the end, he also walked forward and hugged both Qin Yu and Zhou Yuan. His voice trembled faintly as he said, “It’s good that you’re back.”

On the city walls, the Great Zhou Empire’s numerous important ministers dazedly watched this scene.

“Prince Zhou Yuan…” The Black Venom King and Wei Canglan looked at each other, seeing the shock in the other’s eyes. They likewise never imagined that their prince would appear again just as the Great Zhou Empire was facing its destruction.

It was practically a repeat of the battle of Broken Dragon City.

Their prince truly was the Great Zhou Empire’s guardian deity.

Behind Wei Canglan, the tall and slender Wei Qingqing was also staring at the young man who she had not seen for a dozen years with a complicated expression.

Wei Bin asked in a low voice, “Big sis, is that prince Zhou Yuan?!”
