Chapter 261: The Messenger of the Thunder Continent
In the afternoon, under the bright sunshine, Sun Zhe stood quietly on the hillside, gazing at the two tombstones in front of him. Yier leaned gently against her brother Sun Zhe's side, obediently not making a fuss. Her two white jade-like hands were playfully clasped behind her back, and her lively eyelashes fluttered slightly, making her look exceptionally adorable.
"Brother Sun Zhe, do you miss Mother?"
Mother refers to Sun Zhe's mother, whom Yier has always called Mother. In her impression, Mother seemed very strict with Brother Sun Zhe, just like her Father was with her. Therefore, she did not understand why Brother Sun Zhe would still miss Mother so much.
"I miss her!" Sun Zhe replied with a slight smile, his words carrying no hint of reluctance.
"Then do you miss Sister Qiu Ruo?" The mischievous girl pointed again, this time towards another tomb.
"I miss her too!"
With a slightly misty gaze, Sun Zhe sighed softly and answered seriously.
"Brother Sun Zhe, you miss both Mother and Sister Qiu Ruo. Which one do you miss more? You can't tell Yier that you miss both equally; people can't be too greedy. You can only choose one..." A sly glint flashed in the girl's eyes as she squinted slightly, looking like a proud little fox.
"You little rascal!" Hearing Yier's question, Sun Zhe couldn't help but smile helplessly. He ruffled the girl's hair a couple of times before letting her go. However, just as he was about to speak, his body suddenly trembled slightly. He gazed into the distance, and his expression changed as a terrifying Killing Intent flashed in his eyes.
"Continuous provocations; do they really think I won't dare to take action against people from all directions?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Zhe's figure vanished from the spot and in an instant rushed towards the distance. Now, Sun Zhe's Divine Consciousness could rival that of an Emperor-Level Expert. Unless someone had a Divine Consciousness stronger than his or used some mysterious secret method to conceal their presence, he would not miss any movements within his vicinity. He did not expect that someone from all directions would come to Northern Yue Village again; it was definitely for him.
Although the guards at Wuguan checked every passerby, most of them were ordinary soldiers and could not be that meticulous. If a few people disguised themselves slightly, it wouldn't be impossible to sneak into Qin State. In the two months since Huo Du had attempted to ambush Yier, this was already the third group of intruders that Sun Zhe had discovered.
Of course, these three groups are not from the same continent of Cultivators; otherwise, they wouldn't be so careless. Besides the Flame Continent's Huo Du, there are also representatives from the Green Forest Continent and the Dark Continent, but this time, it is people from the Thunder Continent who have arrived.
………………
On the road beside Northern Yue Village, three young figures revealed themselves—two women and one man. They all appeared to be extraordinary young talents. The leading woman wore a white dress, her beauty comparable to that of a stunning fish or a falling goose. She frequently observed her surroundings, her black eyes blinking occasionally, exuding an air of elegance.
Following her were a man and a woman. Although their demeanor was slightly less impressive, they still carried themselves with pride. As they looked at the dilapidated low houses around them, they could not hide the hint of disdain that crept onto their faces.
“Senior Sister, is the news from those people true? Did Sun... that person really fight against four domain experts alone?”
Retracting her gaze from scanning the surroundings, the woman quickly caught up to the White-Clad Woman in front and asked incredulously. Her strength had just reached the peak of the fourth stage, and she still had some distance to go before entering the domain realm. Even her exceptionally talented Senior Sister had only just reached this level, which showed how formidable domain experts were. She truly could not imagine that someone could contend against four such top-tier domain experts.
“Hmph, Consort Han, does it matter what his strength is? He is a traitor of our Thunder Continent!”
Before the White-Clad Woman could respond, the man behind her, Sword Brows, interjected angrily without holding back.
“Gao Heng! Do you think I don’t exist? How did we interact before I came here?”
The White-Clad Woman's forward steps suddenly halted as she turned around slowly. The smile on her face vanished without a trace, and her originally beautiful features now bore a hint of Killing Intent as she coldly glared at the man who had just spoken.
“I... Gao Heng knows he was wrong!” The young man was ready to argue further, but upon seeing the furious expression on the White-Clad Woman's face, he ultimately swallowed his words. However, there was no sign of submission on his face.
“I didn't expect it would be you, Pang Sister. How have you been lately?”
A clear voice rang out in front of them. The three figures trembled simultaneously and turned toward the source of the voice, only to find that a young man dressed in simple clothes had appeared before them at some point. His plain attire could not conceal his imposing aura; even though Sun Zhe did not deliberately exert himself, the overwhelming pressure he naturally emitted still tightly locked onto the three of them.
“Brother Sun…” A hint of bitterness flashed across her lips as Pang Yiting slowly stepped forward a few paces, standing in front of Sun Zhe, her lively eyes reflecting a deep complexity.
The faces of the other two also showed signs of shock. The name Sun Zhe now carried more weight than that of any warrior, and among the younger generation across the realms, there were probably very few who had not heard this name. However, hearing a name and seeing the person in front of you were two different things. This time, witnessing him in person, the two felt an insurmountable gap between them, as the aura emanating from Sun Zhe was far beyond what they could compare to.
Sun Zhe paid no attention to the two behind Pang Yiting, his gaze fixed directly on her. His black eyes glimmered slightly, and after a moment, he gently asked,
“Is Uncle Pang well at home?”
As soon as the words fell, Pang Yiting trembled again, and the bitterness at the corners of her mouth deepened.
“You already know?” Pang Yiting’s voice trembled slightly, disbelief evident in her eyes.
“At first, I didn’t think much of it. It was only later, by chance, that I suddenly remembered. I didn’t expect that I had known you for so long. You must have recognized me during our last encounter at Wanbingyuan, but I remained oblivious.” At this thought, a bitter smile appeared on Sun Zhe’s face.
Pang Yiting was the biological daughter of Pang Jie, the lord of Twin Lion City. Back in the day, when the Sun Family and Pang Family were close, Pang Yiting had a very intimate relationship with Sun Zhe from Thunder Continent. Due to their families' ties, they had even been betrothed to each other. Their relationship could be described as childhood sweethearts; had it not been for the tragic annihilation of the Sun Family, they might have already started a family by now.
Of course, while Pang Yiting had always treated him well, Sun Zhe did not believe it was solely due to their engagement or because she had feelings for him. He suspected it had more to do with how the Pang Family remained uninvolved during the tragedy that befell the Sun Family.
In other words, everything that Pang Yiting did was for her father. She did not want him to live in guilt forever, and only Sun Zhe could help her father step out of that shadow. What she wanted was to make amends for her father's past mistakes.
“I have come this time on behalf of Thunder Continent…”
Although Pang Yiting did not expect that Sun Zhe would recall this matter, she was not an ordinary person and quickly suppressed her bitterness. She spoke again, regaining a hint of her feminine charm.
“You don’t need to; you can go back and tell them that as long as it does not touch upon the interests of the Nine Continents Mainland, I, Sun Zhe, still consider myself a part of Thunder Continent. This is my bottom line. You may leave!”
As soon as the words were spoken, Sun Zhe turned and walked into the forest. After all, having lived in Thunder Continent for so long, he did not want to take the opposing path of Thunder Road unless absolutely necessary.
Seeing the expression in Sun Zhe's eyes, Pang Yiting recognized his determination and silently accepted his response. With Sun Zhe's answer, she felt she had completed her mission. Suddenly, it seemed she thought of something and quickly stepped forward, shouting at Sun Zhe,
"Brother Sun, this should be useful to you."
As soon as she finished speaking, a purple light orb flew from Pang Yiting's hand towards Sun Zhe.
In a flash of light, the purple orb instantly entered Sun Zhe's right hand. It was indeed the last quarter of the Divine Blade that had been unearthed from Wanbingyuan. With this orb, Sun Zhe could completely forge another true Divine Blade. Even with his composure, he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
"Brother Sun, I do not ask you to forgive my father, but I just want you to know that at that time he really had no choice. The Great Yuan Sect was not something our Pang Family could contend with..." Unknowingly, two lines of cold tears slid down Pang Yiting's cheeks.
Sun Zhe's footsteps paused slightly as he slowly closed his eyes and let out a gentle sigh. He understood that since he had taken over Sun Zhe's body, some responsibilities must be borne by him. In the grand scheme of things, everything has its own rules; avoidance is never a solution.
"I was too young and impulsive back then. You go back and tell Uncle Pang that Zhe Er is still Zhe Er... As for the Great Yuan Sect, I will make them pay the price!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Zhe's figure suddenly vanished from the spot because he sensed that the four Divine Blade Fragments had begun to stir.
