Chapter 4385
Kai watched as Ning Zhi hurriedly escaped, feeling a wave of relief wash over him!
If the battle had continued, it would surely have ended in a disaster for both sides!
“Running away is still running away. If this fight keeps going, how could my fragile body possibly endure it?”
Kai shot an angry glare at the Red Cloud Demon Monarch!
This character only seemed interested in fighting, with no regard for whether he could handle the consequences!
“You, hurry up and strengthen your fleshly body, or find all my skeletons so I can restore my body!”
“I’m going to go stir-crazy in your sea of consciousness. It wouldn’t hurt to have a companion…”
the Red Cloud Demon Lord remarked!
Kai was momentarily at a loss for words; this guy was in his own sea of consciousness—what other remnant soul would dare to enter his territory?
Once he regained control of his body, Kai sprinted toward Zhu Jia Town!
…………
Zhu Jia Town!
This was a small town with a population of only ten thousand, and it wasn’t particularly powerful!
Zhu Jia Town’s Zhen Fu Si Zhu Yuan Ji was merely at the ninth rank of the Ferrying Realm!
Yet, even at the ninth rank of the Transition Realm, he was considered an expert in the Eastern Region!
The overall level of cultivators in the Eastern Region was somewhat lower than in the other four regions!
This was partly because the Eastern Region was vast and sparsely populated!
Additionally, with the Ink Sea and the Dead Sea separating the East Region from the others, the cultivators there had to rely on teleportation arrays, spirit boats, or airships to travel, all of which required a significant amount of spirit coins or resources. As a result, many cultivators in the Eastern Region remained relatively weak and had never ventured elsewhere!
At this moment, in one of the largest courtyards at the center of Zhu Family Town, Zhu Yuanji gazed at Zhu Qingxiu in front of him, tears of joy streaming down his face!
He had feared that his daughter was lost forever, yet here she was before him!
“My dear daughter, after searching for you for so many years, I finally see you. You’ve finally come home.”
“Do you know how worried your father was after the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was destroyed?”
“If you ever face hardship again, remember to come home. No matter what happens, I’ll always be your strong support!”
Zhu Yuanji wept bitterly, his heart aching!
His daughter must have endured so much suffering and hardship during her time away!
“Father, I… truly didn’t want to involve Zhu Family Town, which is why I hesitated to return.”
“I know I was wrong. From now on, I promise I will never cause you sadness… again.”
Zhu Qingxiu joined him in tears!
Zhu Qingyue’s eyes also glistened with moisture at this touching reunion!
The family was finally together again…
“Master, Qi Heng from Qi Jia Town has arrived. He brings news that the Second Miss is back.”
At that moment, Liu Bo spoke up!
Upon hearing Qi Heng’s name, Zhu Qingyue’s expression hardened, her face filled with disdain!
Zhu Yuanji’s brows furrowed as well; he wouldn’t have put his daughter in a difficult position if he had any choice.
“Father, Xiao Yue is supposed to marry Qi Heng? Isn’t that like a flower stuck in cow dung?”
“That Qi Heng is not only hideously ugly but also a beast! Even during my time at the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, I heard tales of him abusing women and terrorizing children…”
“He’s simply inhuman! Even for the sake of profit, you can’t let your sister make such a sacrifice…”
Zhu Qingxiu challenged Zhu Yuanji.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanji sighed and replied, “What can I do? When the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was thriving, you were there, and we had support in Zhu Family Town.”
“Now that the Ten Thousand Swords Sect has fallen, the Qi Family Town has backing and no longer regards our Zhu Family Town with any respect.”
“If I refuse to agree to this marriage, I fear there won’t be anyone left to support our Zhu Family Town and its thousands of mouths to feed!”
Zhu Yuanji wore a helpless expression, knowing as the Zhen Fu Si of Zhu Jia Town, he had to prioritize the welfare of everyone in Zhu Jia Town before anything else.
