    --- Chapter 58 ---


    The news about Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress''s disappearance caused a stir in the Blue Wind Empire. Even the spy from neighboring nations couldn''t help but suck cold breath upon witnessing the sheer ridiculousness of this news.


    Even though the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress isn''t the ''greatest'' sect in the Blue Wind Empire, its power is still within the top five!


    The mountain where the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress abruptly evaporates, as if nothing was there in the first ce.


    Beside a charred ground, there are no other clues.


    After a few days, the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress is ''finally'' dered destroyed.


    The reason is unknown. Maybe a conflict or revenge.As for the attacker, people don''t dare to delve deeper into the abyss.


    Fear of the unknown because this was beyond their level.


    Only Four Great Sacred Ground could possibly find something about this matter, but they aren''t free enough to do it.


    But people still specte.


    Some guessed that over ten Sky Profound Realm Experts surrounded the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress andunched a wide-area attack.


    The other guessed five Throne-level Experts do it.


    A bolder one guessed that an Overlord-level Expert or Monarch-level Expert came and decimated the mountain in three moves. Of course, people mocked this fellow for being out of touch.


    Well, they are wrong.


    The Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress is gone with just one attack.


    And the attacker was not even a Sky Profound Realm Expert.


    ...


    Two months and a halfter.


    Blue North County''s Border, Golden Bell City.


    Golden Bell City is a middle-sized city within the Blue Wind Empire. It has no natural specialty, but a golden bell hangs on a stone tower nearby and bes the symbol of this ce.


    Although this ce doesn''t have a specialty, merchant caravans usually rest and restock their rations here. With a poption of over 45,000 people and a refreshing atmosphere, this ce is suitable for rxing between trips.


    A ck-haired youth is drinking a cold lemonade under a shady tree.


    His golden eyes gazed into the distance, seemingly observing the mystery of the universe.


    Ordinary people could only see blue sky and white clouds, but the youth could see much more. The outlines of the atmosphere and brighter world humans can only sense after reaching a ''certain'' stage of cultivation.


    Not far away from the youth, several women gathered under a tent and gossiped with each other. They are the youth''s family andpanion.


    "What do you think?" Yu Zhan sat down, asking his son.


    Yu Long sipped his drink and replied, "Nothing in particr."


    "Hmm, maybe I didn''t expect our family holiday to take almost three months."


    "Haha, that''s true." Yu Zhan chuckled because thedies dragged them all over the Blue Wind Empire. They stayed in Silver Lake City for one and a half months before visiting some unique ces in the Blue Wind Empire.


    They have visited sea, mountain, and even snowy terrain.


    After a while, they finally decided to return home.


    Yu Xin, who hasn''t explored much in her entire life, was pretty satisfied with their family holiday.


    "Was it a bad thing, though?" He nced at his son.


    Yu Long scratched his neck and answered slowly, "No, not really. I didn''t dislike it..."


    Yu Zhan smiled inside because his son finally acted a little more like kids his age. Having a genius son like Yu Long is an incredible experience, but Yu Zhan hopes he can cherish his youth more.


    There is a time when one wishes to experience youth and regrets wasting lives for mundane things.


    Well, what Yu Long achieved wasn''t mundane at all.


    "The Golden Bell City is going to be busy soon." He said while ruffling Yu Long''s hair. "At the time, we must continue our journey."


    "Okay." Yu Long nodded in agreement.


    Yu Zhan lifted his hand and questioned teasingly, "Also... I noticed you''re getting closer to Hong Guan. Did something good happen?"


    "None of your business..." Yu Long frowned immediately.


    "Hehe~!" Yu Zhan chuckled when receiving the cold response. He shook his head and walked away.


    Staring at Yu Zhan''s back, Yu Long sighed inwardly and recalled when he destroyed the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress. Hong Guan hugged him tightly and was so close to kissing him.


    It was probably due to a rush of emotion, but still.


    Hong Guan almost took Yu Long''s first time in this second life.


    Yu Long finished his lemonade and grumbled, "What am I? A maiden? Get yourself together, Yu Long."


    Walking to the tent, Yu Long saw the Blue Wind Empire''s empress and princess chatting with his grandmother.


    Yes, these two are following them on this family holiday.


    "We are going to move in fifteen minutes." He said calmly.


    "Tell your driver to check the carriage you used."


    "Noted." Cang Yue nodded, walking away immediately.


    "How obedient." Xu Nannanmented in amusement.


    Lan Shirou giggled and added, "Hehe, of course. I guaranteed that she would be a good wife."


    The two women nced at Yu Long, hinting at him about something.


    Yu Long knew what they were talking about and rolled his eyes.


    ''Women...'' He thought while ignoring them.


    Since the otherdies aren''t in the tent, they are probably exploring Golden Bell City. Yu Long spread his senses and grasped everyone''s location, but Xia Qingyue.


    At the same time, an intense vibration shook him.


    BOOM!


    An explosion appeared in the northern part of the city.


    "What was that?" Xu Nannan stood up.


    The same goes for Lan Shirou.


    The empress gazed at the north gate and said, "What happened there?"


    "I''ll go and check." Yu Long vanished from the spot. He quickly arrived at the northern wall of the Golden Ball City and saw Xia Qingyue surrounded by a group of bandits.


    He was about to send a sound transmission when a chilling sensation spread over the gate.


    Ice is covering the ground and wall, freezing the bandits.


    A beauty in a blue and white robe descended from the sky andnded beside Xia Qingyue.


    The beauty has an exceptional snow-whiteplexion, red lips, and ck hair.


    She has peerless elegance and pure holiness, like a fairy who had descended from the pce on the moon.


    "Is this fate?" Yu Long couldn''t help butment helplessly.


    "Aren''t they supposed to meet at the Floating Cloud City? Then, what the hell is one of the Frozen Cloud Asgard''s fairies, Chu Yueli, doing here?!"


    Chu Yueli is Xia Qingyue''s teacher in the original story.


    She was supposed to meet Xia Qingyue identally after wandering around the Blue Wind Empire. Fascinated by the girl''s talent, Chu Yueli took her in as a disciple and brought her into the Frozen Cloud Asgard.


    Xia Qingyue, who pursued power and knowledge to find her mother, agreed and became Chu Yueli''s disciple.


    Nevertheless, Yu Long has altered Xia Qingyue''s destiny, and she wouldn''t join that ridiculous sect.


    ''Hmph, I won''t let Xia Qingyue be an emotionless ice cube!'' Yu Long clenched his hand slightly.


    Meanwhile, Chu Yueli initiated the conversation with Xia Qingyue.


    "Are you okay?" Chu Yueli asked the charming-looking girl before her.


    Xia Qingyue blinked a few times and nodded calmly, "I''m fine."


    "Thank you for saving me, senior."


    Chu Yueli''s help is ''actually'' unnecessary because these useless bandits won''t pose a threat to Xia Qingyue, but thetter still shows her gratitude.


    Chu Yueli smiled behind her veil, "Good."


    "I can''t withstand seeing such a young girl getting bullied by these bandits."


    "Let me check if you''re really okay." She added while extending her slender hand.


    Pa!


    Xia Qingyue instinctively pped Chu Yueli''s hand, which shocked the Frozen Cloud Asgard''s fairy.


    "Eh?" Chu Yueli felt slightly numb in her hand.


    Xia Qingyue sighed and stated, "I''m sorry, but I can''t let strangers touch me."


    "But I saved you?" Chu Yueli has never encountered something like this before.


    Shouldn''t this girl feel grateful?


    Why did she act like this all of a sudden?


    Xia Qingyue shook her head gently, "Senior might save me, but that doesn''t mean you''re a good person."


    "Oh, you''re saying I''m a bad person now?" Chu Yueli''s mouth twitched in disbelief.


    "Yes. I was taught not to trust others easily." Xia Qingyue tly said as a matter of fact. "This world is vast, so who knows what kind of dangerous people live inside it."


    "Forget it, I don''t mind. Just give me your hand for a few seconds." Chu Yueli sighed in dissatisfaction.


    "I''m afraid... That''s not possible." Xia Qingyue stepped back a few times.


    "..." Chu Yueli.


    This girl!


    Just how cautious you can be?


    "You heard that right, icedy." Someone suddenly shouted from afar.


    A purple shnded between Xia Qingyue and Chu Yueli.


    Xia Qingyue''s expression brightened, and Chu Yueli''s face darkened.


    "And who might you be?" Chu Yueli asked with a frown. A ck-haired youth stood with a calm expression.


    "Me?" Yu Long smiled slightly. "I''m her fiancé."
