Chapter 1684: Chapter 1684

The white afterimage landed on its feet, the figure slightly crouched, and the blood blade held in the right hand swung forward fiercely.

Accompanied by the piercing sound of the blade’s wind, a dazzling blood-colored blade light, like a death scythe, expanded fan-like continuously, cutting forward. Google seaʀᴄh novｅlfire.net

The blade light surged like a rainbow, fierce and unstoppable, obliterating all the sea beasts within a hundred feet ahead.

Limbs scattered, blood mist filled the sky,

The space around the stone statue was instantly permeated with a nauseating heavy bloody scent.

At least dozens of sea beasts were killed or injured under that blood-colored blade light, and the sea beasts’ overall momentum abruptly halted.

Ren Qinglong and Ren Qingluan exhaled deeply, focused on the white figure, discovering that it was actually a martial artist roughly their age, clad in white.

Seeing the white-clad martial artist sheath the blood blade and turn to support the weakened Xia Chenyu, Ren Qinglong furrowed his brows, ready to intervene, but was held back by Ren Qingluan.

Ren Qingluan, upon seeing the white-clad martial artist’s appearance and figure, seemed to have guessed his identity, her beautiful eyes radiating a bright glow.

Xia Chenyu, drained of spiritual energy and overly tense, relaxed instantly upon seeing Fang Bai, her whole body seemingly exhausted, softly leaning into Fang Bai’s embrace.

"Fang Bai, am I dreaming?"

Xia Chenyu stretched out a hand, gently caressing Fang Bai’s face, her dazzlingly beautiful face still carrying a look of disbelief.

"It’s not a dream, it’s real!"

Fang Bai held Xia Chenyu’s hand, gently kissed her forehead, and said joyfully, "Chenyu, who would’ve thought we’d meet here!"

Xia Chenyu’s eyes filled with tears at once, she sniffled, her smile radiant like flowers, saying, "Indeed, I thought we’d never meet again in this lifetime! Had you come a moment later, we might’ve been separated forever... Heaven smiled upon us, allowing us to reunite safely."

Fang Bai laughed lightly, gently tapped her nose, then lifted her horizontally, murmuring, "You’ve become lighter, seems you’ve lost weight..."

Xia Chenyu’s slender arms coiled around his neck like snakes, giggling, saying, "I’ve lost weight from longing for you; you owe me compensation."

Fang Bai bowed his head and asked, "How would you like me to compensate you?"

Xia Chenyu thought for a moment, bit her rosy lips, and said, "Offer yourself to me!"

Fang Bai laughed heartily, "Alright. Once everything here is settled, I’ll give myself to you."

Wei Qinglong and Wei Qingluan watched in shock, thinking despite the numerous sea beasts and imminent danger, they still found time for flirting—perhaps forgetting themselves due to deep emotions or fearless due to powerful strength.

Nonetheless, recalling Fang Bai’s casual strike after landing, killing dozens of sea beasts spectacularly, even a common Thunder Tribulation Expert would struggle to accomplish it; the sea beasts threatening their lives seemed unlikely.

"Sister Chenyu, is he your beloved?"

Wei Qingluan suddenly asked.

Xia Chenyu released her arms from Fang Bai’s neck, stepped out from his embrace, nodded towards Wei Qingluan, saying, "Yes, Qingluan, his name is Fang Bai, he’s my man! Weren’t you eager to meet him? How is it, not disappointed, right?"

Wei Qingluan’s eyes sparkled, focused on Fang Bai’s face, nodding, "Yes, your man really resembles that stone statue, not weak in power either... Sister Chenyu, your taste is impressive!"

Wei Qinglong was also looking at Fang Bai.

Before meeting Fang Bai, Wei Qinglong was filled with dissatisfaction and reluctance, believing only a heavenly prodigy like himself matched someone as unparalleled as Xia Chenyu.

However, at this moment, he found Fang Bai ahead in every way, dealing him a heavy blow, filled with despair and frustration.

"Sister Chenyu, congratulations on reuniting with your beloved! Wishing you eternal happiness! This place is perilous, no need to stay! Leave quickly!"

Wei Qinglong saw the sea beasts around the stone statue stirring again, knowing they were ready to attack, shouted loudly.

"Yes, Sister Chenyu, hurry and leave! Protecting the stone statue, perishing with it, is our Wei family’s destiny! We’ll handle this!"

Xia Chenyu initially intended to live and die with the Wei siblings, but upon seeing Fang Bai, her heart filled with joy, wanting to stay together, she didn’t wish to fall under the sea beasts’ attack.

Yet leaving the Wei siblings wasn’t what she wanted either, briefly hesitating.

"Was your ancestor named Wei Feng?"

Fang Bai glanced at the statue and the Wei siblings, suddenly asked.

Both Wei siblings were startled, exclaiming, "How do you know?"

Thousands of years ago, Wei Feng, the Wei family ancestor, was taken as a disciple by the stone statue’s prototype, Fang Bai; after Fang Bai ascended to the Immortal Realm, Wei Feng resided in Immortal Stone City loyally guarding the statue.

Since then, generations of Wei family descendants inherited Wei Feng’s will, taking protecting the statue as their duty.

But Wei family’s ancestor was from thousands of years ago, known only to Wei family descendants; how did Fang Bai know?

Wei Qinglong stared blankly at Fang Bai, suddenly wondering, "This Fang Bai resembles the statue we’ve guarded for generations in features and name, is there some connection?"

Wei Qingluan had similar thoughts, though fleeting.

In the vast worlds, countless people exist, having the same name and appearance wouldn’t be rare, thus nothing surprising.

Moreover, this statue was carved thousands of years ago, the prototype’s in the Immortal Realm likely living for thousands of years, while Fang Bai was so young, how could he have any connection?

Fang Bai chuckled, pointing at the statue, "Actually... I do have some connection with this stone statue."

His admission of connection with the statue left the Wei siblings stunned.

Even Xia Chenyu found it incredible, as Fang Bai, like her, traveled from the mundane, while the statue always existed here; how could there be a connection?

Fang Bai said seriously, "During my previous trials, I encountered a strong man claiming to be a Fang family descendant. In chatting with him, he mentioned your ancestor Wei Feng and this stone statue..."

Fang Bai crafted a story of meeting Fang family descendants, convincing the Wei siblings.

"Fang Bai, do you know where that Fang family descendant is?"

Wei Qinglong asked eagerly.

Thousands of years ago, Fang Bai, who ascended to the Immortal Realm, was Wei Feng’s master, so the Fang family’s descendant naturally deserved the Wei family’s reverence.

This significant matter, Wei Qinglong thought of telling his parents, unsure how excited they’d be.
