NOVPUB"Qin Family?"
Xumi’s gaze instantly penetrated the distant horizon. When he saw the lightning-fast incoming sword-light and the disheveled Qin Fengyi dragged behind it, his expression subtly changed.
The sword-light seemed to have noticed his presence too. It instantly grew more excited, increasing its speed steeply that in a blink of an eye, it appeared before Xumi.
Between the fluctuations of the sword-light, it directly let go of Qin Fengyi.
Qin Fengyi fell to the ground disheveled. Fortunately, her mana hadn’t depleted too much, and she quickly steadied herself.
The Class IV sword energy began to circle around Xumi.
Even though Qin Fengyi was only a temporary master and was not familiar with the sword energy, she could still discern its excitement and enthusiasm.
From within the sword energy, a voice made from the sword’s humming sound resonated hesitantly:
"...It...no, let me...come..."
Hearing the voice emanating from the sword energy, Xumi’s eyes also flashed with a rare gentleness, his sleeve lightly rising as if his hand was gently stroking the blade as one would stroke a pet.
The sword energy immediately emitted a clear and joyful humming sound.
Seeing the obedience of the sword energy, Qin Fengyi couldn’t help but feel a sense of bitterness deep within her heart.
It felt as if a proud man she had painstakingly charmed, had been bewitched by another seductress, and was willing to become her puppet.
"Bah, bah, bah!"
Qin Fengyi quickly obliterated the wild thoughts in her mind.
Elder Xumi was no seductress, he was a respected individual on the verge of achieving Immortal Ascension.
Yet, Xumi, unusually patient, indulged the sword energy with words:
"Although its body is broken, it is now one with me. If you wish to achieve the Dao, I only require one sword. You can go back."
The sword energy immediately let out a low hum filled with disappointment.
Hearing this voice, Qin Fengyi felt even more speechless.
The complexity of cherishing a man rejected unfeelingly by another woman sprouted within her.
Thankfully, she regained her senses quickly and promptly blurted out:
"Elder Xumi, Elong Beach…"
She then quickly recounted the events that had unfolded on Elong Beach.
Listening to Qin Fengyi’s words, Xumi’s expression remained steady.
Only when he heard that Wang Ba had broken a corner of the ocean barrier, and a giant octopus had emerged, did a trace of seriousness finally creep into his expression.
"Ocean barrier... Demonic Beast..."
In the blink of an eye, there seemed to be a vague speculation in his eyes.
Right at that moment.
His Spiritual Government shifted subtly.
He swiftly shot out a sword-light that, to the untrained eye, would seem ordinary. It briskly swept through the clouds beneath.
The clouds instantly dissipated.
Revealing the rugged cliffs below and a small stretch of beach.
In between the beach and the cliff, there was a conspicuously large rock that was currently shaking violently.
As if an Alien Beast was pushing it from underneath.
With a hunch, Xumi’s sleeve flew up and in an instant, a sword-light shot onto the rock.
The rock instantly disintegrated into dust without the slightest delay.
Immediately after, a surge of water erupted from below.
Shooting straight for the sky.
Within a moment, a figure was jettisoned up by the water, and tumbled onto the ground.
The mana aura around him was weak, nearly depleted.
"Wushang!"
Seeing that figure, Qin Fengyi could not help but show a look of joy.
The cheerfulness in her voice was evident.
In a blink of an eye, she appeared next to Xi Wushang, holding him up.
Xi Wushang tried to refuse, but his mana was weak and he didn’t have the strength to shrug her off.
Qin Fengyi’s attentiveness made Xumi glance at her.
But soon, his gaze was captivated by other figures flying out of the water one after another.
In a blink of an eye, a slightly chubby figure clumsily sprang from the water.
Following that, several figures emerged from the swift water in succession.
Compared to the first person who appeared, Xi Wushang, their condition was undoubtedly better.
Seeing these familiar faces, Qin Fengyi was both shocked and delighted.
"It’s Brother Ji! And Brother Mu!"
However, Qin Fengyi’s expression quickly changed.
Her gaze swept over the figures that leapt out from the water and she anxiously asked, "Where’s Lingxiao?!"
Just then, two more figures quickly jumped out of the water.
They were Zhen Boen and Lou Yi. 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Afterwards, the water slowly began to recede.
But no further figures emerged.
Qin Fengyi’s face instantly turned pale.
She appeared next to Lou Yi in a flash, grabbed him fiercely and anxiously asked:
"Are there any more people? Where’s Lingxiao? Isn’t she with you?"
But it wasn’t just her.
Soon, Tao Ruyi and Zhou Luye couldn’t hold back their screams, "Where’s Grandmaster Wang?! Grandmaster Wang isn’t here either!"
Looking around, Qin Fengyi indeed did not see the figure that left a deep impression on Elong Beach.
Lou Yi and Zhen Boen both hung their heads in silence, their faces somber.
"Martial Uncle Lou, speak quickly! Where are they?!"
Tao Ruyi couldn’t help but anxiously ask.
Lou Yi surveyed the crowd and with a troubled expression, said:
"Grandmaster Wang, and Brother Qin, it appears they were swept away by the subterranean current. I... I don’t know where they are now."
"What?!"
Upon hearing this news, Qin Fengyi was stunned. After the initial shock, her mind went blank.
Maintaining a very grave face, Lou Yi continued to explain:
"As soon as we entered the geographical position, the environment suddenly changed. Although I tried to manipulate the water flow as quickly as I could, it was still…"
