Chapter 1606: Tearless Goes Berserk

The sorrowful Naihe Bridge now carried a touch of blood amid its splendor.

All eyes were on Ye Chen, and everyone fell silent.

That person was still crawling with difficulty; he might already be dead, sustained only by an unbreakable will, driving him toward the end.

His persistence and deep affection had forged his undying obsession.

A breeze swept by, and the Naihe Bridge collapsed, turning inch by inch into flying ash with the wind, becoming dust of history.

He succeeded; he reached the bridgehead but then plummeted into the starry sky. The holy light faded, and the might of the holy bones vanished entirely.

Chu Xuan raised her hand and summoned a gentle force to support him.

Wu Lei was emotionless; even she didn't know why she intervened, only that an irresistible power compelled her.

Perhaps there truly was some fated bond between her and him.

Her Supreme Forgetting Emotion Dao trembled in that instant because of him, depicting an emotion she had never experienced.

"Good."

The profound silence was finally shattered by Xiao Yuan Huang's thunderous roar, his blood boiling with exhilaration.

"Good."

Kui Niu and the others joined in, shouting and cheering wildly.

"We've always said, don't underestimate our Zhutian." The old folks stood tall, proud of the Holy Body that brought glory to Zhutian.

"When it comes to presence, it's got to be the Huanggu Sheng Ti Ye Chen."

"The City of Wu Lei actually took a hit; that's damn satisfying."

"Crossing the Naihe Bridge and inadvertently creating another myth." The old Zhun Di smacked his lips, sighing and clicking his tongue in amazement.

"Wu Lei, you must honor your word."

Donghuang Tai Xin smiled at the City of Wu Lei, feeling immensely pleased as he spoke.

"In one year, if she sheds a tear for him within that year, I will fulfill their union."

Wu Lei's ethereal voice echoed.

"If I didn't hear wrong, Senior, you're going back on your word!"

Zhan Wang snorted coldly, his war halberd humming with the full might of a Zhun Di.

"Exactly! You said that if he crosses the Naihe Bridge, he can take his wife, but now you're reneging."

Xiao Jiu Xian was indignant, puffing out her cheeks, her voice ringing out loudly.

"I didn't expect the Immortal City of the human world to not keep its word."

"Fight, we're not afraid; don't think we're easy to bully in Zhutian."

Xiao Yuan Huang and Kui Niu and their group shouted curses, then quickly ducked behind their ancestors.

"I propose we team up and take on the City of Wu Lei!"

This voice came from somewhere unknown, but it belonged to a Zhun Di, and one who loved to stir up trouble.

"This idea is quite reliable; there are all beauties inside."

There weren't just one or two mischievous old Zhun Di; they howled from the corners and then scurried to another spot.

"We haven't even seen what the City Master of Wu Lei looks like; she must be very beautiful."

"Who knows, maybe we can marry one home; this old man doesn't have a wife yet."

"Don't mess around; that's a senior, we can't casually flirt."

A group of old fellows threw away their shame, chattering away and getting more excited, their laughter lecherous.

Donghuang Tai Xin, Jian Shen, Dan Zun, the two elders of heaven and earth, and the nine emperors of Great Chu all stepped away consciously, keeping their distance from those disreputable Zhun Di.

Facts proved their decision was correct.

The City of Wu Lei erupted; a crystalline jade hand slapped out.

Those clustered Zhun Di were all sent flying, tracing dazzling arcs through the starry sky.

Gulp!

Everyone present couldn't help but swallow hard.

Those over a dozen Zhun Di-level experts didn't know how far they were blasted; perhaps all the way to the edge of the universe.

Now, the starry sky was quiet, especially the old fellows, who didn't dare utter a word; the City Master of Wu Lei was too formidable.

"In one year, I will come again after one year."

Wu Lei's words were still ethereal, laced with indifference and authority.

As she spoke, the vast Immortal City of Wu Lei gradually turned illusory, slowly disappearing into the misty clouds.

"Almost scared me to death."

Too many people felt a chill run through them.

"In the future, we have to be on our best behavior; without an imperial weapon, we don't dare venture out."

Old-generation cultivators said with their hands clasped.

"What does Ye Chen's wife look like?"

Xiao Yuan Huang stared with wide eyes, but couldn't pierce through Chu Xuan's appearance.

"The Seventh's taste can't be bad; she must be extremely beautiful."

"Who knows if we can borrow her for a few days."

Kui Niu stroked his chin, his expression meaningful.

Meanwhile, Donghuang Tai Xin and the others had already reached Chu Xuan's side.

Ye Chen lay on a cloud in front of Chu Xuan; though severely injured, he was still alive, with no life-threatening issues.

"Let's go home."

Donghuang Tai Xin smiled lightly and extended her jade hand to grasp Chu Xuan's, "Our hometown is very beautiful."

Chu Xuan did not resist and allowed herself to be led, flying into the void.

Behind, the nine emperors carried Ye Chen, continuously repairing his holy body, using many divine medicines generously to heal him.

"It's actually the Supreme Immortal Body; no wonder Wu Lei is reluctant to let go."

Yue Huang smiled as she gazed at Chu Xuan and the others ahead.

"Now that she's out, she can't be taken back; no way."

"If they dare come to Great Chu, they'll have a hard time."

Tian Lao cursed.

"Just one tear; when we get back, we'll make Chu Xuan cry."

Di Lao said roughly, which was a bit improper for his age.

As they spoke, the Zhun Di of Great Chu vanished from sight.

The crowd watched them depart, filled with awe; even the Zhun Di felt the same— that group was very formidable.

"Let's go."

With the grand spectacle over, the spectators dispersed.

Today's events were truly spectacular; from ancient times, how many years had it been since the City of Wu Lei suffered a setback?

Ye Chen, the Huanggu Sheng Ti, was the first to cross the Naihe Bridge; this would become an immortal myth, passed down by later generations.

As people left, they marveled and couldn't help but feel regretful.

Not everyone was as fortunate as Ye Chen; for instance, that old Zhun Di who sold wine, or Yun Family's young master Yun Feiyang.

They both fell on the Naihe Bridge and never saw their loved ones until the end; that was a deep regret and sorrow.

"So damn touching."

Kui Niu and Earth Martial Bear were in tears, wiping them all on Long Jie.

"I told you!"

Long Jie was extremely excited, completely oblivious, but the Spirit Clan goddess beside him had a face full of dark lines; disgusting and shameless.

"Everyone back to their homes."

Nan Di smiled and turned to leave.

"Let's go."

Long Jie also turned around, with a string following behind.

"Where is Great Chu exactly?"

Bei Sheng gazed into the misty void, murmuring softly, also wanting to see Ye Chen's hometown.

"His wife is so many; to be favored once, who knows how long to wait; how about you come home with me?"

Xiao Yuan Huang rubbed his furry paws, laughing shamelessly.

"If you're going, come with me."

Kui Niu grinned.

"My bedroom skills are top-notch; I can definitely make you sleep well."

Earth Martial Bear patted his sturdy chest.

Bei Sheng said nothing, withdrew her gaze from the void, glanced at Xiao Yuan Huang, looked at Kui Niu, and then at Earth Martial Bear, before waving her jade hand and slapping each one away.

"If there's a fight, count me in."

Xiao Jiu Xian giggled, pulling out a large hammer from somewhere and swinging it to smash.

"Come on, don't be idle."

Long Jie and his group turned back, rolling up their sleeves and cracking their necks.

Even Nan Di, who had walked far, ran back to deliver a kick.

Seeing this scene, those old fellows who hadn't left yet stroked their beards meaningfully: We are very comforted.

This starry sky was extraordinarily lively, and Hengyue Sect was even more so.

Donghuang Tai Xin brought back Chu Xuan, and Hengyue Sect instantly buzzed with excitement; whether disciples or elders, they all flocked toward Jade Girl Peak.

"Big sister-in-law, you're finally back."

The fastest to run were Xie Yun, Situ Nan, and Xiong Er, those three scoundrels.

They were indeed good brothers; Ye Chen was unconscious and just lying there, but the three of them didn't even glance his way, rushing straight to Chu Xuan.

Even more awkwardly, they all tried to hug Chu Xuan for an emotional moment, but she dodged, leaving them grasping at air and nearly falling.

"Scram."

Yang Dingtian, Dao Xuan, and Xu Fu stepped up, kicking each one away; did they have any shame?

"Junior Sister Chu, do you still remember us?"

A crowd of seniors surrounded her, looking at Chu Xuan, moved to tears.

Chu Xuan was silent, standing quietly like a stone statue.

Those faces were familiar yet strange, leaving her very confused, as if she had seen them but couldn't recall where.

Her lack of reaction made everyone frown.

This was her home; they were her family; she shouldn't be so indifferent, like ordinary strangers.

"The memory immortal light hasn't yet merged into Junior Uncle Chu's sea of consciousness."

Liu Yi pondered, "Just like the former Xi Yan."

"No matter what, it's good that she's back."

Yang Dingtian's eyes were tearful, "One day, Junior Sister will recover her memories."

"For now, let's go down and give Junior Sister some time to adjust."

Dao Xuan waved his hand; too many people would only confuse her.
