Chapter 825: Three Years Passed, Reunion with Loved Ones

Imperial Might hung like the sky itself, shrouding the entire Wanliu City, making everyone’s hearts tremble; for a time all were as silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to act rashly.

A Great Emperor was already a figure standing at the peak of Martial Arts, each one capable of influencing the world, their power far beyond ordinary imagination.

The Ancient Liu Family’s inheritance had lasted ten thousand years, and their Emperor Liu was naturally far more fearsome than ordinary Great Emperors; even the most outstanding prodigies did not dare act presumptuously before him.

A cyan long rainbow spanned the firmament, like a river of heaven; a dense vitality surged and shook heaven and earth, as though spring had arrived, all things revived, overflowing with the power of life.

Within that cyan long rainbow were several figures, drawing the gaze of the crowd.

The man in the lead was tall and majestic, like god and like demon; he stood there as though fused with the surrounding heaven and earth, bearing a natural aura of the Great Dao itself, brilliant cyan radiance bursting forth from his body, illuminating the eight directions like a cyan sun.

This was Emperor Liu, the current head of the Ancient Liu Family, and also a powerful Great Emperor Realm expert.

Su Han did not dare to employ the Nine Heavens Eye, fearing it would be sensed by Emperor Liu, but very soon that dazzling cyan light dimmed, allowing everyone to clearly see Emperor Liu’s figure.

Emperor Liu appeared to be a man in his thirties or forties; of course his true age was certainly far beyond that, but the lifespan of Great Emperor Realm experts was very long, and moreover he was a descendant of the Liu Divine, his vitality far more exuberant than that of other Great Emperors, so he looked even younger.

He wore an imperial robe of azure-gold upon his body, his features delicate, his face like fine jade, a three-inch beard beneath his chin; he resembled a great Confucian of the Way of literature, yet his bearing was not oppressive, instead as gentle as Chun Feng, making one feel exceedingly at ease.

"We pay respects to Emperor Liu!"

Before a Great Emperor, none dared show the slightest disrespect; at this moment everyone within Wanliu City bowed and saluted, even a Great Saint Expert like Eunuch Sun was no exception.

"You have all come from afar as guests; there is no need for excessive ceremony!"

Emperor Liu’s face bore a smile, his voice warm and mild, making others feel very comfortable.

And at Emperor Liu’s side stood two more figures, who were not elders of the Liu Family, but a young man and woman.

The man was a youth of about twenty-seven or twenty-eight, wearing a robe of limpid radiance, gentle and refined, with a smile on his face, composed and unhurried.

The youth resembled Emperor Liu by seven or eight parts, cultured and easygoing, his temperament gentle, and his features naturally divine and elegant, as though carved with painstaking care by Heaven itself, causing countless women to fall for him.

A dense vitality emanated from his body, causing his flesh to shine with bright cyan light; under the glow of that cyan radiance, the youth was like an exiled immortal descending to the mortal world, making people utterly intoxicated.

A gentleman on the road is like jade, this young lord is peerless in the world!

Upon seeing this youth, such a verse surfaced in everyone’s mind.

Even the Meng Po Empress, at this moment, had her gaze upon the youth grow soft, as though she wished to shed her hard armor before the one she liked.

"The Heir of the Li Family!"

Without any introduction, everyone immediately guessed the youth’s identity at first glance; with such powerful strength, yet so young, and such a transcendent bearing—besides the Heir of the Li Family, ranked tenth on the Hidden Dragon List, who else could he be?

The Heir of the Li Family was a Saint Realm Third Layer expert, and his bloodline was profound; possessing an Immortal Body, even the Dugu Imperial Son would be inferior by three parts before him.

Moreover, the Heir of the Li Family was exceedingly handsome; in the Central Plains many female Martial Artists were enamored of him, and he could be called the dream man of thousands of young maidens.

Now he stood behind Emperor Liu with a smile on his face, his bearing even more transcendent, making the eyes of many female Martial Artists go wide; even the Meng Po Empress, who delighted in women and disliked men, seemed at this moment about to change her mind.

Yet the protagonist of today was neither Emperor Liu nor the Heir of the Li Family, but Lu Yunxian at their side.

Lu Yunxian was clearly meticulously dressed today; she wore a long dress of cinnabar and cyan, and as the hem swayed, those snow-white, slender jade legs were faintly revealed, making one’s Heart Spirit sway.

Now she stood there, black hair like a waterfall, her skirts fluttering, like a fairy descending to the mortal dust, making people lift their eyes in awe.

Her features were nigh perfect, her skin white as jade, and coupled with that faint Holy Might, she caused countless people’s mouths to go dry and their hearts to surge.

Most irresistible of all was that transcendent, otherworldly, cold and pure temperament; this bearing was like a Green Lotus just blooming, untainted though born from the mud, limpid though washed in clear waves yet not coquettish, making people sink into it, unable to extricate themselves.

"The Green Lotus Saint—I’ve finally seen her with my own eyes. So beautiful, beautiful to the point of suffocation; I feel as though my heart is about to stop beating."

"Though both are among the Central Plains’ top ten beauties, I feel the Green Lotus Saint surpasses the Meng Po Empress by a step. This beauty is not merely of appearance, but also of a transcendent temperament and a crystal-clear soul—I think I’ve fallen in love."

"They say the Green Lotus Saint is the daughter of a divine spirit; I didn’t believe it before, but now I do. Apart from a divine spirit’s daughter, how could there be such a perfect goddess in this world—she’s exactly the same as the goddess in my dreams."

Lu Yunxian rarely showed herself; many people were seeing her for the first time, yet with just a single glance they could no longer pull themselves free, sinking deeply in. At this moment peach blossoms seemed to bloom in each of their eyes; apart from Lu Yunxian, they saw no one else.

"Truly a great beauty—I must bring her into my harem!"

The Meng Po Empress’s gaze shifted from the Heir of the Li Family to Lu Yunxian’s face; even she revealed an expression of astonishment, feeling her own heart suddenly halt, drowning in such beauty.

She delighted in women and disliked men; though the Heir of the Li Family’s bearing was transcendent, he had only stirred her heart a little. Lu Yunxian’s appearance, however, made her feel as if the entire world had lit up; those female favorites she had taken before, compared to Lu Yunxian, were simply as far apart as heaven and earth.

She made up her mind that once she returned she would dismiss all her female favorites, loving only Lu Yunxian in this lifetime; such a beauty was worth her giving up all other women.

"Fairy Sister Yun Xian!"

Su Han too was gazing at Lu Yunxian; his eyes merely swept past Emperor Liu and the Heir of the Li Family, but from the very first moment fell upon Lu Yunxian.

This was the person closest to his heart, and also the one he loved the most. This love was different from the romantic love he felt for Tongyan; it was the familial, kin-like affection for a loved one, for family, for an elder sister.

After coming to the Central Plains he had always traveled westward, all for the sake of seeing Lu Yunxian once more, and now he had finally seen her.

In an instant he forgot everything else; his gaze grew gentle, and it was as though all things between heaven and earth vanished, leaving only that figure that haunted his soul and dreams.

Su Han was looking at Lu Yunxian, and Lu Yunxian was also searching for Su Han. She knew Su Han was currently masquerading as the Nineteenth Prince, yet she did not know the Nineteenth Prince; but with a thread of shared Heart Spirit she turned her gaze toward Su Han.

Their eyes met in midair. Although Su Han now appeared in the guise of the Nineteenth Prince, his Aura and bearing both different, the eyes did not change. Lu Yunxian recognized him with a single glance.

After three years apart, Su Han and Lu Yunxian had finally met again!
