Chapter 443: Long Time No See!
He was at the peak of Level Nine Heavenly Saint Realm, with one foot already stepping into the Emperor Realm. The only ones stronger than him were those of the Emperor Realm.

The newcomer was Long Ao, the Family Head of the Long Family!

“Not good!”

Zhou Wenlong was shocked and about to react, but at that moment, a force far beyond his capacity to endure erupted behind him and slammed into his body.

The distance between the two was less than a few meters, which, for warriors of their caliber, could be described as less than a fraction of an instant.

A wave of force struck Zhou Wenlong’s body in an instant.

“Boom!”

A vast blaze soared into the sky, and a mighty power shook the entirety of Jiang City.

With this attack, everyone in Jiang City felt the impact of that power.

“Holy shit, what just happened!”

“Look over there!”

“Hiss!”

All eyes were on the heavens above, now tinged by the brilliant blaze.

Having undergone several cosmic enhancements and boosts in spiritual energy, the Blue Star Space was no longer the same as before. Now, even Heavenly Saints and Emperor Realm Experts could only shake space without causing it to crack. As for shattering space, that was an even more absurd notion.

“Great Ancestor!”

“Father!”

The various Zhou Family warriors, upon witnessing this scene, were filled with fury and could no longer hold back, charging directly towards the Long Family!

At that moment, they completely disregarded Zhou Wenlong’s recent words, even if it meant being expelled from the Zhou Family.

However, as their figures emerged, the blaze had already enveloped Zhou Wenlong completely, rendering them utterly unable to intervene.

Regret!

Intense regret pervaded the hearts of every Zhou Family warrior.

“Good! Our Family Head has taken action; this time, let’s see if you don’t die!”

“Daring to oppose our Long Family, your Zhou Family has long been on the path to its demise!”

“Indeed, once this old man falls, the Zhou Family will soon follow in his footsteps!”

The four Zhou Family Heavenly Saints, previously severely injured by Zhou Wenlong, transmitted their voices secretly to Zhou Wenlong’s sea of consciousness.

After all, how could such a thing be said openly? They could only savor these thoughts in their minds. If spoken aloud, the consequences would be too grave for the Long Family to bear.

At the same time, Wang Chen, the Deputy Headmaster of the Holy Institute, was still sitting calmly in his spot, watching everything unfolding in the sky.

An expert at the peak of the Ninth Level of Emperor Realm attacking a warrior at the peak of Level Nine Heavenly Saint Level could instantly annihilate the latter, especially since Long Ao was acting out of anger. Zhou Wenlong’s fate was probably already sealed.

“What a pity!”

Wang Chen shook his head, with not a hint of compassion in his eyes. To him, he was a beneficiary of the Zhou Feng camp, while Ye Feng’s rise was at a time when he didn’t even know where he was.

Meanwhile, a cold smile of satisfaction appeared on Long Ao’s face. The Long Family’s warriors, including Long Xiaotian, who had dealt a cruel blow to Zhou Xiaofeng, also emerged. They looked at the figure at the center of the blaze, their expressions filled with chilling indifference.

Those standing in their way could only be enemies. And since they were enemies, there was no need for words.

However, the cold smile on Long Ao’s face didn’t last even for more than two seconds before it petrified on his face.

“How is this possible!”

Long Ao looked shockingly at Zhou Wenlong’s figure as the light flames gradually faded, his body not even having a single scratch. Not only that, his aura was still at its peak, showing no signs of any injury at all!

“Impossible!”

“How could the Family Head fail?”

“Could it be… does the other party have help?”

“Yes, there must be help!!”

The upper echelons of the Long Family were no fools; there were no fluctuations on Zhou Wenlong’s body that would indicate the activation of Divine Weapons, meaning he had not used any. It went without saying that another powerful figure must have intervened.

With this in mind, the Long Family’s powerhouses all looked around, their eyes revealing an intense murderous intent.

“I’m… I’m…!”

“Uninjured?”

“How is that possible?”

Zhou Wenlong looked at his own hands in disbelief, his face etched with astonishment.

Right at that moment, a figure slowly appeared in front of him, and at the same time, the powerhouses of the Long Family also saw that figure.

“Lord Zhou, long time no see!”

Having been away from Earth for a long time, seeing an old acquaintance again, Ye Feng felt in quite a good mood despite some hiccups along the way; smoothing out these minor difficulties seemed like child’s play to him.

Ye Feng’s voice rang in Zhou Wenlong’s ears, prompting a look of confusion, and moments later, as if realizing something, his expression turned to one of disbelief, his eyes widened in shock as he stared at Ye Feng.

“Ye… Ye…!”

After seeing Ye Feng nod slightly, Zhou Wenlong was completely dumbfounded.

He hadn’t expected that Ye Feng, who had left Earth two to three hundred years ago, had actually returned to Earth.

For a moment, he didn’t know what to say to Ye Feng, his heart filled with a tumult of emotions.

In the past, he had watched with his own eyes as Ye Feng climbed step by step to the pinnacle of champions, entering the Holy Institute with an unmatched presence.

Latter on, Ye Feng achieved dazzling victories on the border battlefields and in the Beast God Mountain Secret Realm, thoroughly resolving the threats from the Demon Clan and the Demonic Beasts, filling Zhou Wenlong with immense pride. Although he didn’t consider his relationship with Ye Feng to be particularly deep, it didn’t stop him from feeling proud.

A peerless demon born from an utterly ordinary Satellite City had utterly changed the Human Race’s dynamic.

With that thought, Zhou Wenlong’s eyes grew somewhat moist, and the powerhouses of the Zhou Family were also stupefied, sensing an unusual urge in their Family Head that seemed akin to crying.

“Who are you? Dare to meddle in the affairs of the Long Family, withdraw immediately!”

On the other side, under Long Ao’s signal, an Elder of Heavenly Saint Level from the Long Family spoke out directly.

“Boom!”

The next second, the body of this speaking Elder of Heavenly Saint Level exploded on the spot, turning into a cloud of blood mist under the watchful eyes of the crowd!

This scene left everyone watching completely stunned.

Today, the first casualty in the conflict between the Zhou and Long families had emerged. But it wasn’t one of the powerhouses everyone expected from the Zhou Family, nor was it the Family Head, Zhou Wenlong; instead, it was an Elder of Heavenly Saint Level from the Long Family, specifically a Level Nine Elder.

Such an Elder, practically having one foot in the Emperor Realm, represented the true foundation of the Long Family, precious existences whose loss would be intensely painful, and just like that, gone.

This sudden turn of events caused Long Ao’s eyes to sharply narrow, his gaze toward Ye Feng carrying a hint of shock.

Instant kill, he could achieve it too!

But such an instant kill where the action was not even visible, unless there were some secret Divine Skills involved, he knew well what abilities his own Elder possessed, especially since the Elder was equipped with a Defense God Weapon.

Crucially, that Defense God Weapon had not even activated.

One should know that this Defense God Weapon, linked to the fallen Elder of Heavenly Saint Level, was a divine weapon of destiny that could autonomously defend against powerful strikes.
