Chapter 1267: Chapter 1264: Heading to the Daoist Family’s Cave Heaven, Jade Cauldron Pavilion (Third Update)

Saying this, Xue An’s eyes shone brilliantly. A powerful Divine Sense invaded Baili Shaoguang’s mind without any explanation, naturally permeating through the Seal and in an instant, purified it completely.

From beginning to end, the Seal had no awareness of what had occurred.

After the purification was completed, the three slowly regained their senses from their daze, and once they were fully alert, they involuntarily shuddered and then bowed in unison to Xue An.

“We pay respects to the great sir!”

In their tone this time, there was no trace of panic or fear, only limitless respect.

“Do you remember what to do after you return?”

“Yes! We understand!”

Xue An waved his hand, “Good, then go!”

Only then did the three respectfully retreat and walked back until they were a hundred steps away before they ascended into the sky and disappeared into the horizon.

With everything taken care of, Xue An turned to look at the residents of Demon-Sealing Town.

Wherever his gaze fell, people bowed their heads in fear, not daring to meet his eyes.

Xue An sighed silently, having anticipated this reaction.

But just then, Xiao Rui in the crowd bit her lip and finally mustered the courage to step forward and then looked up, her voice trembling slightly as she said.

“Big… big brother, thank you for saving us!”

Xue An looked at the little girl whose eyes were filled with insecurity and timidity but who was acting very bravely, and his mouth gradually curved into a smile. He then reached out to gently pat her head.

“No need to be polite!”

Possibly encouraged by Xue An’s demeanor, Xiao Rui’s mother hesitantly stepped forward, first giving Xue An a flattering smile, then lowered her head and scolded in a soft voice.

“You can’t call him big brother anymore, you should call him sir, do you hear me?”

Xiao Rui seemed to somewhat understand.

Xue An couldn’t help but laugh, “It’s alright, she can continue to call me big brother, I’m pleased with it!”

Seeing Xue An’s attitude, Xiao Rui finally cheered up, and her mother also looked slightly taken aback, then nodded somewhat embarrassedly.

“That’s… that’s good then!”

People die, but life must go on.

Especially now, with a patron like Xue An, the entire Demon-Sealing Town was permeated with a joyous atmosphere.

Only Xing Yushu sat like a simpleton, not speaking, just silently sitting there in tears.

The people of Demon-Sealing Town dared not comfort him, placing their hopes on Xue An instead.

Xue An sighed and then had people collect all of Xing Yuhe’s belongings and erected a modest memorial for him at the town’s walls.

When Xing Yushu saw the name on the gravestone, the blankness in his eyes gradually faded, and eventually with a loud cry, he spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Everyone was shocked, except for Xue An, who sighed softly.

“Alright, now that he has spit out this blood, it means he has made it through!”

Indeed.

When Xing Yushu woke up again, there was no hint of sorrow on his face anymore. Instead, there was an endless chill and indifference that made one’s hair stand on end at the sight.

This change meant that the hot-blooded young Xing Yushu had died overnight, and the person standing before them now was completely someone else.

After Xing Yushu kept vigil at his grandfather’s memorial for three days, the first thing he said to Xue An was.

“When do we leave?”

Xue An smiled, “Are you in a hurry?”

Xing Yushu nodded without hesitation, “Yes, I am in a hurry! Because I must fulfill my grandfather’s last wish, inherit the chances, defeat our enemies, and bring glory to the Xing Family!”

Xing Yushu spoke in a mechanical tone, his eyes like a dead pool of water, undisturbed.

Xue An quietly watched him until, after a moment, he finally nodded, “Okay! Then we will set out today!”

The news of Xue An and his departure quickly spread throughout the whole town.

When the two of them left the house the next day, the streets were already full of people. Xiao Rui, with tears streaming down her face, stood at the very front of the crowd. When she saw Xue An, she said with a sob, “Big brother, when will you come back?”

Xue An smiled, “Don’t worry, we should be back very soon!”

Xiao Rui was reluctant to part, but the faces of the others were filled with worry.

After all, once Xue An and Xing Yushu left, the town would become completely deserted.

Even though the Tree Demon Ghost King had been eradicated by Xue An, who could guarantee that a second Ghost King wouldn’t appear?

By then, it would be difficult for this little town to be spared!

Xue An naturally noticed the concern in everyone’s hearts, but he only smiled and did not comment.

It wasn’t until they left the town gate that Xue An turned around and stopped. He then glanced at the two Soul-Cleaving Lamps hanging on the gate and said indifferently, “Those are the relics left by your grandfather. Go take them down and bring them with you!”

Xing Yushu did not ask why, leaping up and taking down the two lamps.

When he came back, Xue An looked at the silent townspeople, gave a faint smile, then raised his hand, drawing a Talisman Spell in the air, and with a wave forward–

Boom!

After a muffled sound.

The Talisman Spell outlined by Xue An appeared prominently on the city wall.

Then Xue An indifferently said, “This Talisman Spell contains a breath of mine, capable of warding off gods and ghosts, it will keep you all worry-free!”

Having finished, Xue An turned back to Xing Yushu and said indifferently, “Are you ready?”

Xing Yushu nodded silently.

“Good, let’s go!”

With that, Xue An soared into the sky, with Xing Yushu following closely behind. In an instant, the two of them had disappeared into the horizon.

Leaving behind the townspeople with stunned faces, it took quite a while before they gradually regained their composure, then gratefully bowed towards the sky.

“Thank you, sir!”

“Thank you, sir, for your protection!”

The shouts rose from all directions, but that girl Qian Xirui stood among the crowd, dazedly looking at the now empty sky, clutching tightly the pen Xue An had given her, silently thinking in her heart.

Big brother, you must come back!

According to the route left by Xing Yuhe, to travel from Demon-Sealing Town to his master’s Jade Cauldron Hall, one must at least pass through several vast domains, a distance so great it was almost unimaginable to ordinary people.

But for Xue An, it was just a trivial matter.

In fact, if not for the chaotic spiritual energies of this world and its special structure,

With Xue An’s current strength, he could have directly crossed territories in an instant.

Even relying on flight to hasten the journey, Xue An could arrive the same day.

However, the key was that he was taking Xing Yushu with him.

Although this young man’s Daoist Cultivation Level was decent, it was still far too inferior compared to Xue An.

Xue An estimated that if using the standards of The Multiverse, Xing Yushu would at best be of the Golden Immortal Realm.

Of course, such cultivation for his age was already quite remarkable, and on Earth, he would definitely be a dominant power.
