Chapter 2054

The aura that surged between heaven and earth was abnormally huge and terrifying. When Jin Qingcheng and Dong Qing sensed it, their faces revealed surprise and joy.

The two of them were too familiar with this aura.

The two of them raised their heads and stared at the sky, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Jian Na did not understand what was going on. When he sensed this aura, his expression immediately changed. He could sense how terrifying this aura was.

The aura between heaven and earth became more and more oppressive. Rays of powerful light soared into the sky and turned into experts of the Sword Sect. Their expressions revealed vigilance and fear as they looked into the distance.

On the horizon, a figure was rushing over at an extremely fast speed. It was a young figure wearing a black robe. He had a face that all the cultivators in the world recognized. There were many versions of the legend about this figure, and it was being spread every day.

"Zi Chen."

"It's Zi Chen."

"Why is he here?"

"Zi Chen just chased away the foreign race's heaven-defying expert. Why is he here in our Sword Sect?"

"Be on guard. Zi Chen is here. Everyone, be on guard."

Zi Chen's arrival caused the expressions of these newly advanced Heaven Realm cultivators to change drastically. Their expressions became extremely solemn and nervous.

"Zi Chen, you're here."

A burst of hearty laughter resounded in the sky as an aged voice soared into the sky.

"Ancestor."

As the old man soared into the sky, many Heaven Realm cultivators shouted in unison.

"Master."

Below, Jian Na also cried out loudly. His expression became extremely unsightly. Although he did not like Zi Chen, the latter was indeed very strong. He was afraid that Zi Chen was here to cause trouble.

"Everyone, don't panic. Zi Chen is a friend of the Sword Sect." The Heaven Realm elder waved his hand and comforted the Sword Sect cultivators with his aged voice.

"Zi Chen greets senior." Zi Chen's polite voice sounded from afar.

With regards to Zi Chen's reputation, the older generation experts of the Sword Sect naturally understood his difficulties. Therefore, they did not pay too much attention to the rumors in the outside world.

Immediately after, the Heaven Realm experts that Zi Chen had seen before rose into the air. These were all seniors, and they all had smiles on their faces as if they were welcoming Zi Chen back.

When the new cultivators saw that a senior who never commented on Zi Chen in front of others was actually so familiar with Zi Chen, they were all very puzzled.

On the other hand, Zi Chen responded to everyone one by one. He didn't look like the ungrateful, murderous person that was rumored to be.

The people of the younger generation were clearly unable to understand the scene before them. They stood there in a daze.

"Zi Chen, you're finally here."

A voice of pleasant surprise rang out from below. This voice was very loud, and it suddenly exploded like thunder. It spread throughout the entire Sword Sect.

Even the cultivators who originally didn't know that Zi Chen had come to the Sword Sect would know that Zi Chen had come after hearing this voice.

Looking towards the direction of the voice, two figures turned into two streaks of light and shot into the sky somewhere in the Sword Sect, heading straight for Zi Chen.

One of them was tall, and his muscles were as firm as steel. His rough expression was filled with pleasant surprise.

As for the other person, he had strange vertical pupils. He looked very strange. However, at that moment, the two of them had excited and joyous expressions on their faces.

"Man Shi, Wu Xie."

When he saw the two of them, Zi Chen had a face of surprise. He never thought that he would actually be able to meet the two of them here.

The two of them stepped forward and gave Zi Chen a bear hug. Man Shi said in a muffled voice, "I thought you didn't recognize us anymore."

Man Shi was still thinking about the matter of Zi Chen ignoring him last time.

"I almost couldn't recognize you." Zi Chen laughed loudly and also joked.

Back then, he was worried that the heaven-defying cultivators would attack his companions. Now that all the heaven-defying cultivators had left, Man Shi and the others had all broken through to the Heaven Realm. Even if they faced the foreign races, they would have the strength to protect themselves.

At this moment, Zi Chen felt a strange gaze coming from below. He lowered his head and saw Jin Qingcheng and Dong Qing.

The two of them looked up at the sky. When they saw Zi Chen and the other two, their faces were filled with excitement and joy.

"Eh, I didn't expect the two of them to come out of seclusion as well."

Man Shi exclaimed in surprise. Speaking of which, after the two of them obtained the Heavenly Weapon, they had headed straight to the Sword Sect. Unfortunately, the two women were in closed door cultivation, so the Sword Sect's elders had explained why Zi Chen didn't recognize them, and at the same time, invited them to stay.

Thus, the two of them stayed here and broke through to the Heaven Realm one after another.

Because the two women had not come out of seclusion, they had been waiting here. Who would have thought that Zi Chen would come?

Beside the two women, Zi Chen also saw the young man from back then. Speaking of which, the reason why his bad reputation spread so quickly was because of this young man.

At this moment, the young man was holding an ice lotus in his hand. It seemed that he was going to give it to Jin Qingcheng. The other party was looking up at Zi Chen. As their gazes met, the young man felt thunder rumble in his sea of consciousness. He lost his mind, but he stubbornly refused to look away.

Zi Chen had no intention of hurting the other party, so he quickly shifted his gaze. As his gaze swept over them, he guessed that the two women had just come out of seclusion. The smile on his face did not fade as he began to descend.

When he was not far away from the two women, Zi Chen looked at them and said softly with a smile, "I've let you two suffer."

Dong Qing's eyes were filled with tears. She immediately threw herself into Zi Chen's arms. She was very excited.

In a chaotic world, reuniting was naturally a joy.

Jin Qingcheng also took a few steps forward. Her scarred face was filled with excitement as she came to Zi Chen's side. She looked at Zi Chen and said, "You're the one who suffered."

After hearing the news about Zi Chen, they knew about Zi Chen's situation. They only felt pity and helplessness in their hearts. They blamed themselves for not being able to help Zi Chen.

The two of them did not take Jian Na's words seriously. They had been in contact with Zi Chen before and had gone through life and death together. Naturally, they knew what kind of person Zi Chen was.

Zi Chen reached out and pulled Jin Qingcheng into his arms. The latter's body trembled at first and seemed very stiff. However, her body soon softened and she leaned her head on Zi Chen's shoulder.

At this moment, Zi Chen hugged the two women. In front of him, Jian Na held the ice lotus in her hand. She stood there in a daze as if she had been petrified.

In the sky, many Heavenly Realm experts watched and did not deliberately disturb them.

After a long time, Dong Qing was the first to leave Zi Chen's arms. After wiping away the tears on her face, she said to Zi Chen, "It's okay now. We're also in the Heavenly Realm. We can help you."

Zi Chen nodded and smiled, "En, you're getting stronger and stronger."

The two of them still did not know that the Heaven-Defying Cultivators had been chased away.

After leaving Zi Chen's arms, Jin Qingcheng's expression was a little unnatural. She was also a little disappointed. She did not even dare to meet Zi Chen's gaze.

Originally, she did not care about her appearance. However, after coming into contact with Zi Chen at such a close distance, she felt a little inferior in her heart.

Looking at Jin Qingcheng, Zi Chen smiled. He approached Jin Qingcheng and slowly reached out his hand.

Jin Qingcheng's body trembled and she subconsciously wanted to dodge.

"Don't move. It's been so long. This shouldn't be your shackles and fetters anymore."

Zi Chen said softly. He reached out his right hand and touched the scar on Jin Qingcheng's face.

The latter's body was obviously trembling. At such a close distance, she could clearly feel Zi Chen's breathing and heartbeat.

On Zi Chen's right hand, a golden light surged. Streams of energy gently landed on Jin Qingcheng's face. As the energy passed by, the scar on Jin Qingcheng's face disappeared. A beautiful face that had disappeared for a long time appeared once again.

"This is the real you." Looking at Jin Qingcheng, Zi Chen said with a smile.

Jin Qingcheng's appearance was restored just like that. Logically speaking, Jian Na should be very happy. This was the Jin Qingcheng in his heart.

However, seeing Jin Qingcheng standing together with Zi Chen, he could not feel happy at all.

"Why are you here? Where are the Alien Races?"

At such a close distance, she could clearly feel Zi Chen's breathing. Jin Qingcheng was a little confused. She did not dare to look into Zi Chen's eyes and immediately changed the topic.

"Those heaven-defying cultivators have already left. They won't come back for a while. I came to the Sword Sect to confirm something, so I can meet you guys."

"The heaven-defying cultivators have all left." Jin Qingcheng was very surprised.

"Yes, they have all left. However, there will be a great battle soon, so we can't let our guard down," Zi Chen said.

At this moment, the cultivators in the sky descended one after another. The old man from before asked, "Zi Chen, why are you here this time?"

Zi Chen turned to look at the old man and said, "Yes, there are some things."

Because the teleportation formation was a secret of the Sword Sect, Zi Chen did not mention it in front of them. He gestured for them to wait for a while, and then he went to discuss the matter with the old man and some of the core members of the Sword Sect.

Everyone left, and only Jian Na stood there in a daze. He felt that the distance between him and Jin Qingcheng was getting farther and farther. The gap between him and Zi Chen was like heaven and earth, even though the two of them were in the same realm.

Perhaps it was because of his identity as the number one person, or perhaps it was because he had a great relationship with the Sword Sect, the discussion went very smoothly. Under Zi Chen's request, the old man decisively agreed to break the teleportation formation.

After the discussion about the teleportation formation, Zi Chen went to look for Jin Qingcheng and the other three. At this moment, the four of them were at Wu Xie's residence. A Supreme-Being led Zi Chen there. Along the way, the Supreme-Being looked at Zi Chen with eyes full of fanaticism and worship.

Obviously, in a short period of time, someone had told them about Zi Chen's relationship with the Sword Sect. Not to mention Jin Qingcheng and Dong Qing, Zi Chen had a confidante named Wang Xian 'er, who was nurtured by the Sword Sect.

Moreover, they also knew that the rumors about Zi Chen were just rumors that Zi Chen purely wanted to protect his friend.

For a moment, those who were once prejudiced against Zi Chen immediately worshipped Zi Chen.

On the contrary, Jian Na, who spread the news, was gradually alienated.

Zi Chen soon met the four of them. At this moment, the four of them were chatting excitedly. During this time, Man Shi's voice was the loudest. He kept talking about Zi Chen's deeds.

Unknowingly, Man Shi talked about Yi Qian. He said with an excited face, "Zi Chen is really popular with women. This time, he took Yi Qian back from Ya Wei. I'm afraid it won't be long before Zi Chen enters the Saint Realm."
