On the outskirts of Tianchen Island, within a forest near the edge.
Yu Xin and the others were waiting anxiously, occasionally glancing towards the interior of the island.
Li Qingyi stood atop a large tree, gazing worriedly into the distance.
"I hope Instructor Ping’an will turn peril into safety, but that Blade Mantis is too terrifying," Zhao Kai couldn’t help but say.
"Yeah, the Blade Mantis almost has no weaknesses, its speed, defense, and attack power are all extrely fearso," Long Yan said.
"Ping’an has the blessings of the heavens; he will definitely be fine," Tang Qingheng said.
"We’ve actually been quite lucky; finding three Heavenly Star Stones is enough to repair the Sword Array," Long Yan said.
Everyone nodded in agreent.
After Xu Ping’an left, they found two more Heavenly Star Stones.
Though they encountered so Demon Beasts during this process, none were formidable, all easily dealt with by Yu Xin.
Actually, in this area, all formidable Demon Beasts had been taken care of by the Blade Mantis.
So their smooth progress was also greatly related to Xu Ping’an.
"Did you feel that fluctuation just now?" Yu Xin asked, looking towards Song Yang and Huang An.
"Mhm, felt it. Despite the distance, to have such terrifying energy fluctuations, it’s at least a Fifth Rank Peak or even a Sixth Rank Expert," Huang An nodded and said.
Just monts before, they had felt the residue of a terrifying True Yuan.
The fearso True Yuan residual wave was very far from them, at least ten thousand ters away.
Such a long distance, yet the fluctuations they felt still made their hearts tremble.
Such powerful beings were hard to find even in Tianlong County.
Yet they encountered one on Tianchen Island.
"I don’t know if it has anything to do with Xu Ping’an, but the direction from which the True Yuan ca is exactly the direction Xu Ping’an left," Song Yang said.
Yu Xin remained silent.
If it really had to do with Xu Ping’an, then there might be a chance that he truly could turn danger into safety.
"Look quickly, soone’s coming," Zhao Kai suddenly exclaid.
"It’s Junior Brother Ping’an!" Tang Qingheng imdiately said in surprise.
At these words, everyone imdiately felt a surge of joy.
Li Qingyi hurriedly leapt out and went to Xu Ping’an’s side.
When she saw Xu Ping’an covered in scars and his True Yuan extrely unstable, her eyes instantly reddened.
She threw herself into Xu Ping’an’s arms, tightly embracing him.
Xu Ping’an didn’t avoid or stop her, instead, a wry smile appeared on his lips.
"I told you I’d be fine. I have great fortune; how could I die here?" Xu Ping’an said with a smile to comfort her.
Li Qingyi didn’t speak, just held on tight to Xu Ping’an.
The others caught up and, seeing this scene, chose not to speak.
Zhao Kai and the others exchanged looks, all revealing expressions of both bitterness and envy.
They naturally had thoughts about Li Qingyi too, a woman of both talent and beauty; how could they not be moved?
But now, they knew that it was probably impossible for them to ever enter Li Qingyi’s heart in their lifetis.
Because in Li Qingyi’s heart, there was only Xu Ping’an.
After a long while, Li Qingyi finally let go of Xu Ping’an, realizing her own actions, her face also showing a touch of blush.
"Xu Ping’an, what about the Blade Mantis?" Yu Xin stepped forward and asked.
"Dead!" Xu Ping’an said.
"Dead?" everyone was astonished.
"Yes, but it wasn’t killed by . It was a young man and woman, to be precise, a young man, who killed it with a single strike," Xu Ping’an replied.
Everyone’s eyes widened in shock.
Killed in one move?
How is that possible?
And the person who made the move seed to be just a youth.
Even Li Qingyi showed a surprised expression.
Seeing everyone’s shock, Xu Ping’an went on to describe the scene where he encountered Li Qingxuan and the others.
When they heard that the young man and woman were only about twenty years old, Zhao Kai and the others were utterly astounded beyond asure.
Twenty-three years old, Fifth Rank Peak?
What kind of monster was this?
Even Li Qingyi was extrely shocked.
She was now seventeen years old, but could she break through to the Fifth Rank before the age of twenty?
It was hard to say, really hard to say.
Even she herself wasn’t confident she could achieve it.
"If it’s really as you say, and they co from the Heaven Beyond Heavens, then it’s possible," Yu Xin nodded and said.
She had heard so things about the Heaven Beyond Heavens.
Such a minor world, with thousands or even tens of thousands of years of heritage, had a much deeper foundation than the Immortal Dynasty.
It was not impossible for such a foundational force to cultivate so geniuses.
"What are they doing here?" Song Yang asked.
Xu Ping’an shook his head and said, "However, he told us to leave as soon as possible, that this place will soon be unsafe."
Yu Xin and the others exchanged glances upon hearing this.
"Then we should leave quickly, even if their trip here is for so treasure, we are not qualified to investigate," Yu Xin shook her head and said.
Xu Ping’an nodded.
Indeed, they were too weak.
A single Blade Mantis could kill them all.
Moreover, he felt that Li Xuanqing’s arrival here was not for so treasure, but rather might be due to so dangerous matter.
Hence, everyone followed Yu Xin’s lead and returned to the Fire Dragon Boat.
Then, they piloted the Fire Dragon Boat and headed back to the Beichen Sword Sect.
But not long after they left, a violent rumbling ca from behind them on Heavenly Star Island.
An extrely terrifying True Yuan storm exploded from the center of Heavenly Star Island.
Xu Ping’an and the others ca onto the deck, all looking towards Heavenly Star Island.
However, the scene that t their eyes left them utterly shocked.
"Go back!"
A heaven-shaking roar erupted.
Then, a palm that blotted out the sun and the sky fiercely struck down from above.
It nearly covered more than half of Heavenly Star Island.
"A Seventh Rank Expert, this is the strength that only a Seventh Rank Expert possesses," Xu Ping’an exclaid.
Yu Xin and the others were dumbfounded.
Seventh Rank?
Such a terrifying being had actually co here; fortunately, they had left.
Otherwise, just the residual waves of True Yuan would have been enough to shake them to death.
This level of battle was far beyond their comprehension.
Xu Ping’an looked toward the distant island, his expression suddenly changing.
"Could it be that Heavenly Star Island is related to ’that’ matter?"
Xu Ping’an suddenly rembered sothing, and his expression turned grave.
He suddenly understood why Li Xuanqing and his group had appeared here.
If his guess was not wrong, it was very likely related to ’that’ matter.
"If this matter is as I suspect, the Beichen Sword Sect may really be in danger," Xu Ping’an murmured to himself.
In his previous life, the Four Great Spirit Realms had so extrely powerful evil demons causing havoc.
These demons could not be killed.
Only suppressed.
And so of these demons were suppressed in the Mortal Realm.
Back then, so from the Heaven Beyond Heavens also participated in the war, and they were very likely responsible for the suppression.
Pondering the Formation that isolated Qi around Heavenly Star Island.
The more Xu Ping’an thought about it, the more he felt that Heavenly Star Island was very likely the Sealing Ground.
However, he had not felt that repulsive and chilling evil aura.
This ant either he was wrong,
Or the evil demon had not yet broken through the Seal.
But once the evil demon broke through the Seal, it would be a catastrophic disaster for the entire Tianlong County.
