Chapter 340 - The Copper Man (2/2)
The two sisters shouted at the same time and swooped down to catch him. But they had expended most of their True Energy as well. At this moment, it was impossible to land slowly while in air. At the most, they could only be the cushion of Xiao Chen by falling onto the ground first so that he would not be injured.
The few elders below were prepared. Before the three hit the ground, they flew up and caught them.
Falling into the ground, Xiao Chen was helped by Bai Ying. He uttered out the last few words with all his remaining strength before he passed out, “I have transferred the Soul power into the formation, a formation spirit will be born within three years. It will guarantee…”
Many people in the square had yet to recover from what just happened. The First Elder sighed. “Send them back to their rooms to rest first.”
In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Chen woke up slowly. Outside the house, Qingluan and Ziyun’er immediately walked in as they heard noises in the room. “Lord!”
Xiao Chen looked at them and said, “Are you all right?”
“We’re fine. My Lord need not worry about us!”
Xiao Chen nodded. He was way too worn out yesterday. However, after a night of recovery, he was much better. After consuming the Energy Pill, he was fully recovered by noon.
In the afternoon, he visited Bai Ying and told her that he had to make a trip back to the Xiao family. Although he heard nothing from his family, he had left for so long. Since he came back this time, he had to see his father.
Xiao Wan’er stayed back to keep Bai Ying accompanied. Xiao Han had to deal with some follow-up matters, so the two did not go back with him, and Shangguan Yan went home half a month ago, presumably still unaware of what happened in Three Pure Sect.
As he reached the foot of the mountain after leaving Three Pure Sect, Xiao Chen turned and looked back. He couldn’t help but sigh again. Then a ruthless look flashed in his eyes, said, “Ling Family, Order of the Divine Fire, this ‘generous gift’ from you, I will return it ten times back!”
About 3 p.m., the three of them had returned to the Cloud City of Cloud Province. To avoid attention, they stopped riding on their swords. The city was crowded with people, and the traders were hawking their wares. A gentle breeze spread ripples and ripples in the river as the willow branches sway gently. A few children played hide and seek under the tree…
All of this was familiar to Xiao Chen, who had lived in this city for more than ten years.
“Hey! Isn’t this Young Master Xiao Chen? When did you come back?”
Just as Xiao Chen thought about the past, an old man wearing a blue and white coat suddenly came to him with a smile. Xiao Chen nodded and smiled. “Uncle Zhang.”
“Eh? That looks like Young Master Xiao Chen, I haven’t seen him in the past two years.” Many people in the distance had also narrowed their eyes and squinted at Xiao Chen.
Along the way, Xiao Chen nodded and smiled as he walked past the crowd. “Second Uncle Wang… Uncle Liu… Auntie Wu…”
These were the familiar faces. Xiao Chen suddenly felt a warmth in his heart. Although the Human World was small, after all, this was his home. No one would say that he was a devil, and no one would threaten to kill him…
The Xiao family was built on the top of a mountain range in the Dongcheng District. At the foot of the mountain, one could see the lush vegetation on the mountain, surrounded by the clouds and the fog, and the pavilions were faintly discernible. Xiao Chen took a deep breath and felt relaxed. He was home.
30 minutes later, the three people had reached the mountainside. The grass on the path was high and the path itself was deep and quiet, and springs were passing by in a distance. Various birds flew around in the woods, chirping happily, and they were not afraid of people. But there was something Xiao Chen felt weird about, in the past, there were people stationed on the mountain road. Where did they go?
At this moment, he suddenly noticed that a faint life force in front was approaching very quickly, and the thing came strangely, like lightning, it rushed to him in the blink of an eye.
It came so fast that Xiao Chen could not see what it was, but it felt very strong. He instinctively reacted by lifting his palm to defend it. However, that thing bypassed him in an instant and attacked Qingluan and Ziyun’er. “Bang, bang!” Before the two sisters could react, they have blasted out several feet away. As they fell onto the ground, a mouthful of blood spewed out.
“Qingluan! Ziyun’er!”
Xiao Chen finally saw what the thing was, it was a golden copper man. His body was like showering in gold and was shining brightly under the sun.
Seeing that the bronze man had to attack the second sister, Xiao Chen hurriedly summoned his Unsullied Immortal’s Sword. With a swoosh, the sword transformed into a white radiance and slashed at the back of the copper man. A loud bang was heard and sparks flew, the indestructible Unsullied Sword bounced back unexpectedly. The surrounding plants and rocks were turned into fly ash under this strong force.
