Ye Fan moved with incredible speed, displaying overwhelming strength.
In a single strike, he had instantly defeated the immortal Jin Shan.
This left Wuma Xian'er and Lang Sun Chuan, who had rushed over at high speed, completely unprepared.
However, when they arrived, they happened to witness Ye Fan condensing Sword Light and striking down Jin Shan in one blow.
Like everyone else, the shock of this scene was immense for both of them.
A dignified immortal was so easily defeated before him.
Even unable to withstand a single blow, Jin Shan had shown no ability to fight back at all.
Feeling the overwhelming aura emanating from Ye Fan's recent strike, no one would dare to say that the ascended Jin Shan was weak; rather, it was clear that Ye Fan was simply too strong—unbelievably strong, almost monstrous.
Wuma Xian'er and Lang Sun Chuan stood frozen in midair.
After a long moment, they finally took a deep breath and exchanged glances, suppressing their astonishment.
Lang Sun Chuan said with a blank expression, "As expected of our master; it's truly terrifying..."
"Indeed! It's almost disturbingly powerful!" Wuma Xian'er replied, her enchanting face flushed with excitement as she gazed at Ye Fan, her eyes sparkling like stars.
To slay an immortal in one strike was simply too impressive!
Suddenly, when she saw Ye Fan walking toward Nangong Xuandie, her expression changed slightly.
"This is bad. The once naive boy has now become a handsome young man. With his powerful return to save the beauty, this is not good..." Wuma Xian'er thought to herself anxiously as she gracefully moved forward toward the location of the Goddess Palace.
"It seems like things are a bit troublesome!" Lang Sun Chuan stood beside Wuma Xian'er, and her murmured words were certainly heard by him. He chuckled lightly and stepped away.
"Hiss~~~!"
Inside and outside the Sky Edge Pavilion, countless powerful figures couldn't help but gasp in shock as they came back to their senses from the earlier astonishment.
Their gazes turned towards the young figure striding towards Nangong Xuandie, filled with deep shock and awe.
In many people's eyes, there was also a hint of complexity lurking within.
They quietly began to send out messages.
Among those who had come to congratulate at the Sky Edge Pavilion, many were powerful figures from various factions.
Jin Shan, who had ascended and was now an immortal being, had come to the Sky Edge Pavilion to escort his senior brother from the Celestial Realm for the wedding.
However, he was instantly killed by a mysterious young man with a single sword strike. This scene was truly shocking.
If it weren't for witnessing it with their own eyes, no one would believe that someone could slay an immortal.
And to do so with such overwhelming force.
Thus, they needed to relay this news back to their respective factions as quickly as possible.
Ye Fan naturally saw everyone's actions but did not intervene.
Since he had appeared in such a dominant manner before everyone, it was already a declaration.
A declaration of his return.
Soon, Ye Fan's figure arrived outside the Goddess Palace, not far from Nangong Xuandie.
The two stood at a distance, sizing each other up.
Beside Nangong Xuandie, the fairy-like disciples were filled with deep reverence, not daring to look directly at Ye Fan.
Even Saintess Entropy felt the same way.
Especially as she stood next to Nangong Xuandie, the weight of Ye Fan's gaze created an immense pressure in her heart.
It felt like a mountain pressing down on her, making it hard to breathe.
Apart from Nangong Xuandie, the two strongest cultivators in Sky Edge Pavilion were Kwai Lingyu and Lu Zhi Yang.
When they saw Ye Fan stepping toward Nangong Xuandie, both felt a tingling sensation on their scalps.
Yet, they steeled themselves and stepped forward, joining Nangong Xuandie and standing alongside Entropy Sky.
Their gazes turned toward the smiling young man across from them. Unlike others, a faint smile finally appeared on Nangong Xuandie's cold and noble face.
"Everyone step back!"
Nangong Xuandie spoke softly, addressing Entropy Sky and the arriving Kwai Lingyu and Lu Zhi Yang.
"Palace Master!"
Entropy Sky and the others showed concern.
"Step back!"
Nangong Xuandie spoke again, her voice melodious yet carrying an undeniable hint of authority that brooked no refusal.
"Yes, Master."
Entropy Sky and the others said no more, swiftly retreating to the side, maintaining a respectful distance from Nangong Xuandie and Ye Fan.
The women flanking Nangong Xuandie also stepped back, keeping their distance.
"Recognized me?"
Her gaze fell upon Ye Fan, who was clad in red and adorned with a phoenix crown, exuding an air of an unparalleled empress, priceless in her elegance. Nangong Xuandie smiled.
Suddenly, she took a step forward, a waft of fragrance trailing behind her as she closed the gap between herself and Ye Fan. Her beautiful eyes sparkled like autumn waters, filled with gratitude as she gently nodded. "Though we haven't seen each other for decades and you've changed greatly, it's not hard to recognize you."
"Oh?" Ye Fan replied playfully, curiosity piqued. "Sister Xuandie, now that I stand before you, why don't you tell me how much I resemble my former self?"
Nangong Xuandie revealed a captivating smile. "Aside from your appearance, you still have quite a bit of your old self left."
"Then doesn't that mean there's hardly any change at all?" Ye Fan sighed in apparent resignation.
Nangong Xuandie took another few steps forward until there was barely a centimeter between them.
The fragrant breeze enveloped them, her luscious red lips almost brushing against Ye Fan's, tantalizingly close.
Her expressive eyes locked onto Ye Fan's, piercing through him without any hint of shyness or retreat. Nangong Xuandie asserted herself with undeniable confidence. "No, there is one change."
At such proximity, inhaling the faint yet alluring scent emanating from Nangong Xuandie made Ye Fan feel overwhelmed. He took a deep breath and asked, "Sister Nangong, what exactly has changed?"
With a breath as fragrant as orchids and a smile as enchanting as flowers, Nangong Xuandie replied, "You've matured and become more handsome. Moreover... no one has ever been this handsome in front of me before. Just this once has already made me captivated. What do you think we should do about it? Shouldn't you take responsibility?"
"Um... Sister Xuandie, if you keep this up... I might not be able to handle it!"
Ye Fan took a deep breath, silently cursing his luck. He never expected Nangong Xuandie to display such an alluring scene.
In truth, even Nangong Xuandie herself could not have anticipated this. Ye Fan's sudden appearance had shocked her deeply.
In front of Jin Shan and Sikong Shan, she had no choice at all.
However, after disappearing for over a decade, just when her life was about to plunge into chaos, he reappeared.
Like a divine being descending from the heavens, he struck down the immortal Jin Shan with a single sword.
The choices that were taken away from her were suddenly made for her by Ye Fan's return.
And in such a forceful and domineering manner, that handsome yet commanding figure would likely never fade from Nangong Xuandie's mind for the rest of her life.
Thus, she acted with great initiative.
With her eyes filled with deep affection, she looked at Ye Fan and said, "Since you can't handle it, why not be straightforward? There's no better day than today. Since you've made it so that I can't get married, how about you marry me today?"
"Um... Sister Xuandie, are you serious?" Ye Fan exclaimed, his eyes wide with disbelief.
Nangong Xuandie extended a delicate arm and linked it with Ye Fan's. "Come on, let's go to the bridal chamber!"
