48: Chapter 48: The Call of Blood, Unrest in the North Sea 48: Chapter 48: The Call of Blood, Unrest in the North Sea Under the boundless clear sky, the sun shone resplendently.
Although there was still a chill in the air, the streets were bustling with pedestrians, and all the big malls were packed to the brim.
Everyone was purchasing New Year goods, preparing to usher in the new year.
New Year’s!
It was the most important festival in Xia Country, not just in bustling Jiangnan City, but also across the entire nation.
At this ti,
Ye Xuan was heading ho with his younger sister, but his mind involuntarily conjured up the image of Yun ngyao’s gritted teeth when he left the Sky Blue Academy.
“This woman really is naive.” Ye Xuan smiled wryly, imdiately erasing the image of Yun ngyao from his mind.
“Brother, our Teacher Yun is beautiful, isn’t she?” Ye Ling’er said with a mischievous smile.
“Mm, this woman is gentle and proper, and her heart is kind.
Her beauty is truly world-class,” Ye Xuan responded casually.
“Hehe.”
Hearing Ye Xuan’s reply, Ye Ling’er chuckled: “Bro, you were too rough today.
You completely offended Teacher Yun; I’m afraid you have no chance if you want her to be your girlfriend.”
Ye Xuan was suddenly startled and rebuked her, laughing, “What are you thinking about, little girl?
She and I are simply impossible.”
“Brother, I’m being serious here.
Teacher Yun is really great.
If I were you, I would definitely strive to win her over,”
“And besides, I really want her to be my sister-in-law,” Ye Ling’er, devilishly clever, kept egging Ye Xuan on.
Looking at his sister’s earnest expression, Ye Xuan was montarily taken aback, then shook his head helplessly, a trace of world-weariness flashing in his eyes, but he concealed it well.
Ye Xuan gazed at the horizon, his voice deep as he said, “Little sister, what I’m pursuing is not romantic entanglents.
Moreover, she and I are from two different worlds; it’s simply impossible.”
“Bro, I’m telling you, Mom keeps telling to find you a girlfriend.
I think Teacher Yun is really nice, and even if you want to be a bachelor for life, will Mom agree?” Ye Ling’er pouted.
“Enough already, you little rascal, don’t bring this up again,” Ye Xuan scolded her with a smile.
“Hmph, I’m going to tell Mom that you are bullying ,” Ye Ling’er stuck out her tongue and ran ahead.
Watching Ye Ling’er’s joyful figure, a self-mocking smile crossed Ye Xuan’s eyes.
How had he forgotten that in the eyes of their mother and his sister, as a son and brother, he was expected to marry and set up a family?
Such a significant life event, how could they not take it to heart?
“Amidst the vast Red Dust, amidst all passions and desires, my existence in the Human World… Do I really have to face this so-called emotional tribulation?” Ye Xuan murmured to himself with a self-mocking smile.
So-called love is but a mirage; so-called beauty, after a hundred years, nothing but dried bones.
After four years of life on the Blood Sea Battlefield, Ye Xuan asked himself, he had long discarded such things, his pitiable sympathy long lost to him.
What he truly wanted, only he himself knew.
After surviving life and death ordeals, no one understood the aning of life more than he did.
Heaven and Earth could perish, but I remain.
All things could die, but I live on.
My word is the Law, my actions set the example, pursuing that great path that pierces the heavens, so as to look down upon the eternal Nine Heavens.
That is what he truly sought after.
Gathering his thoughts, Ye Xuan walked leisurely ho.
…
anwhile, at the Capital City airport.
On a flight from the Capital City to Jiangnan City, Xia Qingzhu sat in first class in a white tracksuit, staring blankly at the clouds out the window, her gaze filled with confusion.
“Ye Xuan, what exactly did you go through these four years?” Xia Qingzhu murmured to herself.
…
North Sea skies.
A blood-red light pierced the heavens, the hazy scarlet glow hovering high above, as the boundless North Sea waves churned the skies.
A colossal tsunami roared relentlessly, slapping countless fish and shrimp onto the shore.
Buzz!
The void trembled, ripples spreading, a streak of blood-red light buzzing high in the sky, as if calling out to soone.
Yet, this disturbance completely stirred up the North Sea.
Endless waves surged violently, huge breakers rolling toward the coastline, subrging a small town on the shore and eliciting cries and howls from the local residents as they desperately fled in all directions.
A tsunami, a massive tsunami—this was a terrifying disaster that led Xia Country to take it very seriously.
Many rescue teams hurried to the towns around the North Sea, evacuating the local populace at high speed to prevent even greater catastrophe.
…
Biyun Pavilion.
Night had fallen, and stars adorned the night sky.
Ye Xuan’s mother, upon learning of Ye Xuan’s return, had co ho early and prepared so exquisite and delicious als.
The family was joyfully having dinner together, chatting about everyday matters.
While eating the als prepared by his mother, satisfaction was evident on Ye Xuan’s face.
Under his mother’s inquiry, Ye Xuan did not ntion his trip to the Capital City.
Of course, Ye Xuan also did not reveal the changes in his younger brother, Ye Ping.
If his mother knew the truth, she would likely be greatly shocked.
“We now bring you urgent news.
We are currently in Nanshan Town, and from here, we can clearly see that a huge tsunami is occurring in the North Sea.
This is the first natural disaster of this magnitude in our country in a century…”
Suddenly, the voice coming from the television made Ye Xuan turn his gaze to the screen.
When he saw the images on the TV, he was montarily stunned and then abruptly stood up, his aura undergoing a drastic fluctuation.
On the television.
Rain poured down from the sky as the presenter stood swaying in the storm, her pretty face showing a look of terror.
Around her, many residents were pale, evidently very frightened.
The presenter broadcast the news with a trembling voice, and the image in the distance was the North Sea churning violently.
“Attention, all residents around the North Sea, please move quickly inland for assembly.
There are rescue teams there…”.
“Look, what is that?”
Suddenly, an exclamation erupted from the TV, the cara shaking, and an image high above the clouds appeared on the screen.
A blurry blood light floated amidst high clouds, the ear-piercing buzzing reverberating endlessly, and the image on the TV abruptly ca to a stop.
Such an amazing phenonon was naturally seen by all the citizens of Xia Country, and it was not only the people of Xia Country; at this mont, satellites from around the world had detected this astonishing image, causing great concern among various nations.
“Ah, I hope this disaster passes quickly,” sighed Ye Xuan’s mother wistfully.
“Mom, I need to step out for a bit.
I might return later.”
Without waiting for his mother’s response, Ye Xuan quickly walked out the door and disappeared from the ho, leaving both his mother and Ye Ling’er startled, unsure of what had happened to him.
…
In the sky stretching for thousands of miles, light flashed rapidly.
Ye Xuan seed to transform into a shooting star, tearing through endless clouds, trailing terrifying flas, and heading with an unimaginably fast speed toward the direction of the North Sea.
“Heavenly Punishnt Halberd?”
“How is this possible?
How can this be?
Why would the Heavenly Punishnt Halberd appear in the Human World?”
“What has happened at the Blood Sea Battlefield?”
Ye Xuan’s face was icy, his aura fluctuating violently, as he simply couldn’t understand how the Heavenly Punishnt Halberd could appear above the North Sea.
