439: The image after the knife

People all over the world were shaken by that roar and looked up at the sky.

They all heard a cold shout from above: "Prodigy! How dare you invade my Huaxia, you seek death!"

A golden light streaked across the sky like a bolt of lightning, flying towards the East Sea.

The light was so dazzling that even after a momentary blindness, people could still see the trail it left in the air.

As the golden light faded into the distance, people began to discuss animatedly.

Some said it was the descent of a God, some said it was an alien invasion, and others said it was a sign of the end of the world.

All sorts of guesses and rumors spread rapidly through the crowd, causing a wave of panic.

"What's going on? Who was talking just now, did you all hear it?"

"Heard it, heard it, just the pressure from that one sentence was terrifying."

"Did any of you see what that golden light was?"

"No, it was too fast, I didn't see it. Did anyone see it? Come out and chat!"

"I, I, I... I saw it! This is blowing up on short video apps! Damn, who would believe it, that was actually..."

"Don't just say half a sentence, be careful your toilet paper only has half a roll."

"Wow, your mouths are really venomous."

"It's a Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade, do you know what that represents?"

"What? Could it be that an Immortal has appeared?"

"Bingo! You got it right, this really is an Immortal's weapon. Yang Jian's weapon is a Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade."

"Oh my god, really? Yang Jian? Erlang Shen!"

"Those with high strength and cultivation, has anyone seen Yang Jian? I must go and pay my respects!"

"No, Yang Jian isn't someone you can just see whenever you want."

"I only saw that Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade, nothing else."

"Oh my goodness, just a Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade actually instantly killed the invader! As expected of the boss of Guanjiang Estuary, 666!"

"..."

As a golden light, like lightning, streaked across the sky, it rapidly flew towards the East Sea.

The satellite transmitted real-time images to various countries. The golden light instantly struck the invader, and with a dazzling flash, the invader perished, Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, disappearing without a trace.

It's unknown who was so careless as to leak the satellite video, instantly causing a massive global sensation. Official websites of various countries were almost crashed by the huge volume of visits, and the overwhelming comments were simply endless.

"Oh my heavens, who on earth has descended from the heavens?"

"Does anyone know who that figure in the video is?"

"Who?"

"You don't know this? That's Erlang Shen Yang Jian! The Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade in his hand is his iconic weapon!"

"Which country is he from?"

"Oh my god, can you use your brain a little? Still asking such questions."

"Hmph, as long as he's not from the Dragon Country, it's fine. They have too many powerful Cultivators over there."

"Don't you know? Actually, this Immortal is from our Stick Country. I didn't expect you to discover him. Since that's the case, we won't hide it anymore."

"Stick Country? No way..."

"..."

The topic drifted further and further, becoming increasingly ridiculous.

Everyone was in an uproar, expressing their disbelief.

"What a joke! How could Yang Jian be from your Stick Country!"

"Exactly! What nerve does the Stick Country have to claim Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun as their Immortal?"

"Stop talking nonsense here, or you'll suffer retribution!"

People angrily denounced, scoffing at the Stick Country's claim.

Meanwhile, in the Dragon Country, the Grand Elder watched this scene, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"They are merely a bunch of clowns."

"Let them continue to amuse themselves; there's no need to pay them any mind."

They were well aware of Yang Jian's identity and understood that the Stick Country was merely putting on a false front.

However, had Yang Jian truly appeared?

At this moment, Xin Mulan also looked curiously at Old Qin and asked, "Old Qin, did you see Yang Jian?"

Old Qin shook his head, "How can such an Immortal be seen just because we want to? Don't even think about it."

Xin Mulan sighed, "What a pity, I thought I could see a living Immortal."

Jin Meiting smiled helplessly: "It's a good thing Yang Jian helped us out this time, otherwise we really wouldn't know how to deal with this invader."

Hu Bingbing: "Yes, a Golden Immortal of Great Perfection, what kind of existence is that? I wonder when I can Cultivate to such a Realm."

Old Qin: "Everyone will, don't worry."

Ke Ming: "Since Old Qin said so, it means we can definitely succeed! Let's work hard now to Cultivate and improve our Realm!"

Lan Kun: "Since that's the case, I have something to do, so I'll go out for a bit first."

Jin Meiting: "Where are you going?"

Lan Kun said with a serious expression: "I want to go to the East Sea. Although those invaders have been eliminated, it's hard to guarantee there aren't any remnants, especially since that Two Realms Passage also needs to be properly handled."

The Grand Elder nodded slightly in agreement: "Indeed, you and Old Qin should go together to handle it."

Lan Kun and Old Qin exchanged glances, both nodding: "Alright, then we'll depart now."

With that, the two figures flashed and sped towards the East Sea.

When they arrived at the East Sea, their keen Divine Sense immediately detected many unfamiliar auras hidden around them.

These auras clearly did not belong to the Cultivators of Huaxia. They must have come to investigate after hearing the news of the invader's death, or perhaps to confirm whether the legendary Erlang Shen Yang Jian was truly there.

Lan Kun and Old Qin exchanged a look, understanding immediately, and then began to carefully examine the surroundings.

However, after a detailed search, they were surprised to find that there wasn't even a trace of the invader left in the East Sea waters.

They could even still sense the powerful and awe-inspiring aura left behind, expressing their reverence for Yang Jian's immense strength.

Nevertheless, since no abnormalities were found, the two no longer delayed and decisively decided to leave this place and continue their investigation in the Pacific Ocean.

Not long after, Lan Kun and Old Qin arrived above the Pacific Ocean.

Both were surprised to find that a large number of unfamiliar auras had also gathered here, but most were hidden in the shadows.

They noticed that these people seemed to be only conducting investigations, so they didn't pay too much attention.

Old Qin skillfully released his Divine Sense, carefully sensing the surrounding situation.

He frowned and whispered, "There are quite a lot of people here, and most of them are Cultivators at the Refining Qi and Transforming Spirit Realm, and there's even a strong individual at the Refining Spirit Returning to Void."

"If my cultivation was one Realm lower than his, this Divine Sense reconnaissance would probably have been detected by him!"

Lan Kun couldn't help but ask after hearing this, "Are all these people here looking for the Two Realms Passage?"

Old Qin nodded and replied, "That should be the case. After all, everyone is very interested in the appearance of the invader, and it even prompted an Immortal to take action."

"However, this also means we must speed up our search for the passage."

Thus, the two quickly began to search this sea area, hoping to find the location of the Two Realms Passage as soon as possible, and then destroy the passage as well.
