"Take care of yourselves."
Lü Dandan glanced up at the Command Flag releasing torrents of energy. Knowing the Canghuang Realm would be safe with those elders present, she swept her gaze over Long Yingying, Dugu Huan, and Du Fan before turning to leave.
"Miss Lü has become a lot colder than before. She wore a frigid expression even when looking at us. She wasn't like this in the past. She used to be very warm and generous."
Du Fan said with a bitter smile.
"It's a result of the cultivation technique she practices. Her body is filled with Yin-type energy and laws, along with vast amounts of baleful energy. This has caused a great change in her entire demeanor. However, I believe Miss Lü's heart is still warm and generous. That she rushed back without hesitation to protect this world when the Canghuang Realm was in trouble proves this. She will always be the Miss Lü in my mind."
Long Yingying looked at Lü Dandan's departing back as she spoke.
Just then, Lü Dandan, who was walking away, suddenly paused her steps. Her body trembled slightly, her expression growing complex. Clenching her teeth, she stepped into the void and vanished.
"Long Yingying, I see you've not only grown stronger and gained broader insights, but your eloquence has improved as well! Not bad at all, making such great progress."
Du Fan couldn't help but praise her after hearing her words.
"Of course," Long Yingying said proudly.
"I'm going back to take a look at the Tianxuan Continent."
As always, Dugu Huan disliked speaking much. He tossed out this sentence, turned, and left, transforming into a blade-ray that shot toward the Tianxuan Continent, vanishing in an instant.
"This guy, he can't even be bothered to say a few more words to us," Du Fan muttered, curling his lip.
"How about you, Long Yingying?"
Du Fan turned to Long Yingying.
"I also want to return to the Tianxuan Continent to take a look. I have some friends there, as well as some elders and fellow disciples from my former sect who stayed on the Tianxuan Continent."
Long Yingying tilted her head in thought before replying.
"Seems you are homesick too," Du Fan said.
"In that case, I'll also go back to see my homeland, though mine is in the Xuanhuang Star Field."
Du Fan added.
"Speaking of which, what's the situation with that fellow Ye Yunfei? I heard from those guys earlier that he's within the Tianpo Realm. Being chased by so many Golden Immortal experts, his situation doesn't seem promising."
Long Yingying suddenly asked.
"He should be fine for now. That kid is too good at stirring up trouble. Wherever he goes, he can provoke a heap of problems. From the Tianxuan Continent until now, he's long gotten used to this life of being chased. Rest assured, his fate is too tenacious for him to die that easily."
Du Fan answered.
"Master, I plan to return to my homeland to see."
Du Fan said to the elder beside him.
"Alright. Going back to see is good. Soon, you will be leaving this era and space, heading to others beyond. Consider it a chance to settle your thoughts before then."
The elder nodded.
Then Long Yingying set off to return to the Tianxuan Continent, and Du Fan departed for the Xuanhuang Star Field.
"I hadn't imagined this era still had a Divine Master of Topography with such exquisite skill in Earth Observation techniques."
The six elders protecting Long Yingying simultaneously faded from sight, retreating deep into the void. One of them looked Du Fan's master over as he spoke.
Du Fan's master gave a faint smile but offered no reply. With a flash, he was engulfed by a roiling tide of yellow earth energy and vanished.
Only the pink-colored Command Flag remained, suspended within the Canghuang Realm's starry expanse, continuing to release an ocean-like energy that caused the entire starry sky to quiver faintly.
Meanwhile, outside the Canghuang Realm, over a dozen Golden Immortal experts stood within the chaotic void. Every one of their expressions was grim as they stared at the Command Flag hanging in the starry space within the Canghuang Realm.
"Damn it, what exactly are the origins of those six? That flag might be a Heavenly Immortal-level treasure! Is that girl really a native of the Canghuang Realm?"
One old fiend snarled through gritted teeth.
"Immediately find a way to investigate the background of those six. Once our Patriarch returns, report it to him at once. Regardless of which major power backs those six, those who dare massacre our Dark Faction forces cannot be forgiven lightly. This grudge must be avenged!"
A Golden Immortal expert from the Dark Faction bit down hard.
The Dark Faction army that entered the Canghuang Realm this time had been completely wiped out—only these two Golden Immortals had escaped! Naturally, they were furious to the extreme.
"That flag contains terrifying energy and a formidable will. Its power is truly formidable."
At this moment, a middle-aged man from the Great Netherworld spoke with a solemn expression.
"Hmph, in the end, it's just a treasure! Let's wait and see! The treasures of our Monster Capital are definitely not inferior to those of any major power!"
Another old fiend snorted coldly.
"From now on, assign personnel to monitor this world constantly. Keep an eye on the movements of those six, as well as the lives closely connected to Ye Yunfei. We must watch them at all times."
This old fiend then said.
The three old fiends then rose into the air and turned to leave, vanishing without a trace in moments.
Next, the demon race experts also turned and departed.
Then the experts from the Great Netherworld also left.
However, each of these experts left behind a Clone hidden near the Canghuang Realm as they departed.
Finally, only the two Golden Immortals of the Dark Faction remained. They were deeply unwilling. They had thought that bringing their army to this world would allow them to destroy it with ease. Instead, their forces had been annihilated, and they had been driven out in utter disgrace.
"Before the Patriarch returns, with just the two of us, we are certainly no match for those six, and the power of that flag is formidable as well. For now, assign personnel to monitor this world constantly, and act according to circumstances later."
After a while, one of the Dark Faction Golden Immortals spoke.
Then the two Golden Immortal experts of the Dark Faction each left behind a Clone hidden nearby before turning and departing.
"The strength of the Canghuang Realm is actually this terrifying, with a large group of experts protecting this world!"
"It seems the Dark Faction's army has been completely wiped out! That's total annihilation! It seems we've all underestimated the Canghuang Realm before!"
...
Earlier, when the Dark Faction's army launched its full-scale assault on the Canghuang Realm, many powerful beings from other worlds had come to observe. Now, seeing that only two experts of the Dark Faction had escaped in disgrace, they were all profoundly shocked.
Soon, a group of Dark Faction personnel arrived outside the Canghuang Realm, surrounding it completely and instituting strict surveillance over this world.
A few more days passed.
Within the chaotic void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, a large Dark Faction army suddenly appeared once again.
"The Dark Faction has dispatched an army again. What do they intend to do? Do they still plan to go to the Canghuang Realm?"
The sudden appearance of this Dark Faction army immediately drew attention.
"This Dark Faction army is heading for the Dark Realm! Look, they've already reached the entrance to the Dark Realm! Could the Dark Faction be planning to make a move against the Dark Realm?"
Quickly, someone discovered that the Dark Faction army had arrived at the borders of the Dark Realm, emanating a fierce, bloodthirsty aura.
