385: The Empress's heart was in turmoil

When Qiu Changfeng saw this scene, his face turned pale with fright.

Two Half-Step Golden Body Realm powerhouses!

Just like that, they were gone?

If it had been Yan Yuzhu who was that strong, he wouldn't have found it so unacceptable.

But the key was that the one who made the move was Shen Tianxing!

A year and a half ago, Shen Tianxing was merely in the Divine Profound Realm, and in the past, he wasn't even qualified to catch his eye!

Yet, this young man, in just a year and a half, reached a height he couldn't even imagine!

"Return to the Holy Sect, I must return to the Holy Sect. A person like him will surely become a great threat to the Sect in the future. The Sect must be informed!"

Qiu Changfeng turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

What Junior Martial Uncle?

He was dead, so to him, he was nothing.

If Shen Tianxing was allowed to continue growing like this, Qiu Changfeng felt that the Holy Sect would truly be in great trouble in the future.

"Qiu Changfeng, where do you think you're going?"

In the Void Realm, a terrifying saber mark suddenly appeared!

This saber strike spanned a million li, heading straight for Qiu Changfeng's head!

"Not good!"

Qiu Changfeng was scared out of his wits. This Saber Qi was too terrifying; he couldn't possibly block it!

Even a million li away, the fierce saber edge still solidified his blood Qi, making him feel as if his entire body was about to be torn apart.

Qiu Changfeng quickly pulled something from his sumeru ring, revealing a delicate clay statuette of a small bell.

"Sea of Suffering Bell, protect my Divine Soul!"

Boom!!!

In an instant, the clay statuette of the small bell shattered, and he plummeted from high in the sky, crashing into the severely damaged mountain.

Shen Tianxing glanced at it indifferently, then withdrew his gaze, as if his previous move was insignificant!

..."It's over!"

In the distance, Yan Yuzhu let out a soft sigh of relief.

Great Qi was saved.

Shen Tianxing's return brought her a completely different feeling; he seemed unchanged.

The only change was that he was stronger!

"Shen Tianxing!!!"

Shi Linglong, being the closest, was the first to rush towards Shen Tianxing, carrying her sword.

Ye Qingyu, Xu Muyan, and Xu Muqing also left the Jade Pond and quickly flew towards him.

The thrilling battle had kept them worried for a long time.

However, the outcome was good.

Shen Tianxing was still that invincible existence!

No matter what kind of enemy he faced, he could always resolve it perfectly.

Just like when he was in Great Qi, no matter how many demon or ghost Cultivator experts made a move, their grave grass was now three zhang high.

"I'm back!"

A simple sentence contained too much longing.

After a year and a half of separation, countless thoughts erupted at this moment.

"I'm going to beat you to death, you scoundrel! Leaving without a word, do you know how worried I was!"

Shi Linglong plunged into his embrace, dropping the great sword in her hand directly to the ground, and her two small fists rained down rhythmically.

They seemed fierce, but when they landed on Shen Tianxing's chest, it was like a massage.

"Tianxing!"

Ye Qingyu also arrived, directly embracing Shen Tianxing, not caring in the slightest that the embrace that should have been hers was now occupied by Shi Linglong.

Xu Muqing and Xu Muyan, the two girls, were more reserved, their eyes slightly red, their faces even rosier, standing a few steps away.

After a long while, Shen Tianxing gently separated the two.

Shi Linglong and Ye Qingyu exchanged glances, a blush appearing on their faces.

They had been too engrossed just now, and now, looking at each other, they felt a bit embarrassed.

"I just got back and you gave me a beating. Isn't that a bit much!"

Shen Tianxing reached out and ruffled Shi Linglong's hair, then gently patted Ye Qingyu's cheek, a slight smile on his face.

This look contained a lot, and Ye Qingyu was very satisfied.

"Big Brother Shen!"

Xu Muqing and Xu Muyan greeted him.

It had been a long time since they last met, and Shen Tianxing nodded, saying, "Your strength has improved a lot, and Muyan's Divine Soul injury has healed. The future is promising."

After a year and a half, the sisters' strength had made significant progress.

Of course, a large part of the reason was that Shen Tianxing had provided a large amount of Cultivation resources.

Coupled with their excellent Aptitude, with so many resources, their progress was naturally very fast.

Their own efforts, Aptitude, and resources were all indispensable; otherwise, their strength would not have been able to Break through so quickly.

"It's mainly thanks to Big Brother Shen's help that we've made some progress."

Shen Tianxing smiled, understanding what Xu Muqing meant.

To him, this was his intention, and given their relationship, there was no need to say much more.

"Lord Si Kou!"

"Lord Shen!"

From a distance, many calls came.

Many old acquaintances arrived.

Empress Yan Yuzhu stood before everyone, walking towards Shen Tianxing together.

This battle had ended. The demons and ghost Cultivators suffered heavy casualties, and those who survived had fled, no longer posing any threat to Great Qi.

Xuanyuan Longcheng, Xie Tianjian, Situ Kuanglei, Qi Zhenxiao, and other mainstays of the Great Qi Imperial Dynasty all arrived.

Each of them had injuries, but their complexions were good.

Some unsealed Old Eunuchs stood in the distance, their faces respectful, but they did not step forward.

The Cultivators of the Eleven Sects of the Righteous Path were also old acquaintances; they were able to preserve their Sects thanks to Shen Tianxing sparing them in the Southern Region.

When Shen Tianxing saw everyone, he didn't put on any airs and greeted all his old acquaintances.

After a year and a half, things had long since changed.

Now, Shen Tianxing's Cultivation Realm far surpassed these so-called big shots. In front of him, everyone became respectful; this was the result of his strength.

"Shen... Tianxing, the Western Frontier war is over. Can... you return to the Imperial City?"

Yan Yuzhu's state of mind had undergone a slight change.

Facing Shen Tianxing, she could no longer casually call him Minister of Justice Shen as before.

It wasn't about Cultivation, but rather that in a time of crisis, Shen Tianxing's sudden appearance saved her from distress, and the face that had constantly appeared in her mind for over a year had become reality.

A myriad of emotions in her heart now seemed to pour out.

Her heart was in turmoil.

"The Imperial City, I haven't been back in a long time. Of course, I will go back to see it."

"Your Majesty can go ahead. We will meet again in the Imperial City!"

Shen Tianxing still showed Yan Yuzhu the utmost respect, as he could not forget her kindness to him when he was at his weakest.

"Everyone, let's meet again in the Imperial City!"

After greeting Xuanyuan Longcheng and the others, Shen Tianxing left with Shi Linglong and the others.

The matters of the battlefield would be left for Yan Yuzhu to clean up.

The Western Ridge Mountain Range was shattered, and Great Qi achieved a great victory. The surrounding twenty Imperial Dynasties no longer posed any threat to Great Qi.

After Yan Yuzhu left with a group of experts, only a mess remained in the West Neighbor Mountain Range!

A long time later, in this shattered border area, a broken body emerged from the mud.

The body was severely damaged, barely held together by a trace of True Qi.

That half-shattered face belonged to Qiu Changfeng, who had narrowly escaped death!

"Shen Tianxing, you will regret your arrogance! The Holy Heaven Demon Sect will not let you off!"

Qiu Changfeng used the Sea of Suffering Bell to escape death, not daring to linger, and left with his broken body.
