Chapter 1376: I’m Back!
The disciples of the Huaxia Sect saw that Li Chenzhou was not much older and Fang Bai was even younger than them, so they didn’t take Wu De’s words seriously, dismissing them as mere jokes."A bunch of fools! You don’t know how to seize the opportunity! There will come a day when you’ll regret it!"
Wu De saw the Huaxia Sect disciples remaining indifferent and angrily laughed while cursing.
The seven riders galloped ahead, heading in the direction of the Sect Master Hall of the Huaxia Sect.
The Huaxia Sect disciples hurriedly collected the cultivation resources placed on the ground into their Space Rings and followed after them.
By dusk, the seven passed through a range of connected peaks and were greeted by the sight of a vast valley spanning tens of miles dotted with hundreds of buildings.
Some of these buildings were constructed from wood, others stacked with Essence Stones, and still others made from green bamboo. Each was elegant and imbued with an air of ancient charm.
Various kinds of spiritual medicines were growing among the buildings, and a stream meandered through the scenery, evoking the sense of an unparalleled paradise—a land beyond mortal realms.hat no one else could replace.
Watching Shi Xiaolian’s reddened eyes and the tears welling up in them, Xia Chenyu felt pity for her. She turned to point at Fang Bai, Li Chenzhou, and Wu De, smiled, and said, "Alian, look—who’s coming toward us?"
Shi Xiaolian followed Xia Chenyu’s finger and spotted a handsome man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes confidently strolling toward them.
The man was dressed in white, exuding elegance. A warm grin played on his lips like the gentle rays of sunlight. Seeing Shi Xiaolian looking his way, he raised his right hand and waved lightly.
"Is that... Brother Fang Bai? Am I... am I dreaming again?"
Shi Xiaolian whispered, hesitating to make a move toward Fang Bai, yet held back out of fear.
In the days since they had been separated, Shi Xiaolian had seen Fang Bai countless times in her dreams. Each time she tried to embrace him, she’d find herself grasping only empty air, resulting in heartbreak and waking up sobbing.
This time, seeing Fang Bai again, she worried it was another dream. She rubbed her eyes vigorously before gazing at the ground by Fang Bai’s side.
"If this is a dream, then Brother Fang Bai wouldn’t cast a shadow on the ground..."
Shi Xiaolian thought to herself.
At that moment, the setting sun illuminated Fang Bai, casting a long shadow that edged closer to Shi Xiaolian with his every step.
"It’s not a dream! It’s really Brother Fang Bai!"
Shi Xiaolian clenched her delicate fists tightly, her flushed face beaming with excitement.
"Your Brother Fang Bai has been talking about you this whole journey! He misses you deeply too! Go, Alian, give your Brother Fang Bai a big hug and tell him everything you feel!"
Xia Chenyu gently patted Shi Xiaolian’s back and encouraged her warmly.
Alian nodded fervently, then rushed toward Fang Bai.
Meanwhile, Xia Chenyu turned, sensing the motion behind her, and looked toward the numerous Huaxia Sect buildings in the distance.
As Shi Xiaolian ran toward Fang Bai, countless figures emerged from the buildings. The first group included Fang Yun, Tang Wenrou, Ye Wumei, Qin Yaorao, Su Linglong, Linghu Qianjiao, Linghu Baimi, Dongfang Ruhua, Zhuge Lian...
The next group comprised Ghost Hand, Niu Ben, and Xiong Yingxiong...
Following them were Fang Gang, Yang Mei, and hundreds of martial artists from the mundane world.
They all emerged from their respective dwellings, rushing toward Fang Bai and the others. Each person carried an expression of joy, excitement, and enthusiasm.
In the mundane world, Fang Bai had been their pillar of support. Even after founding the Huaxia Sect in the True Martial Realm, they had felt uneasy without Fang Bai’s presence.
Fang Bai’s return was like the Sea-Calming Divine Needle, allowing the anxious martial artists to finally find peace of mind.
On the other side, Shi Xiaolian had already been embraced by Fang Bai. The two, one tall and one small, wore expressions of indescribable happiness as they exchanged whispers, walking over to Xia Chenyu.
"I’m back!"
As Fang Bai faced the surging crowd of hundreds of dear friends, cherished companions, and beloved confidants—some covering their mouths to stifle sobs, others laughing loudly—he waved at them in greeting, his nose tingling as his eyes moistened with emotion.
