Chapter 182 - 182: Reunion
The red-robed youth had an eerie, handsome face with a hint of malevolence. His cultivation was not to be underestimated; he was already at the Late stage of Golden Core, even higher than Su Shan.
"Blood Demon."
When Su Shan saw the newcomer's face clearly, her expression suddenly changed, becoming grave.
She recognized this person; he was the biological son of the Blood Spirit Old Ghost, notorious for his cruelty.
With her current strength, she couldn't contend with such a figure. The best course of action now was to escape immediately, as far as she could.
"Not bad, to single-handedly eliminate three Core Formation Stage cultivators from my sect. That was a bit unexpected for this young master."
The Blood Demon licked his lips, a hint of playfulness in his tone, "Your Divine Lightning Sword is indeed sharp, but today, it ends here."
As soon as he finished speaking, a blazing blood-red light erupted from his entire body, enveloping him like rolling crimson flames.
Within that blood-red light, faint wails and howls could be heard, eerie and chilling.
His figure flickered, and he directly pounced towards Su Shan, his palm glowing with blood-red light, revealing his murderous intent.
Boom!
However, before the Blood Demon could fly much further, a vast pressure suddenly descended from high above, like a massive mountain directly crushing him.
With a loud bang, the Blood Demon crashed directly from mid-air to the ground, heavily impacting the surface, spitting out blood, and an unknown number of bones in his body were broken.
The Blood Demon's face was pale, his eyes filled with terror, evidently never expecting such a turn of events.
This immense pressure instantly swept across the entire Deadwood Grand Canyon, and all the cultivators present felt a shock in their hearts, their hair standing on end.
Even the Nascent Soul Old Ancestors who were fiercely fighting in the distance stopped their attacks, their expressions horrified, and they all looked towards the direction from which the pressure originated.
Where the Everyone' gaze fell, a small golden speck of light appeared in the distant sky.
The speck of light was initially extremely tiny, but in the blink of an eye, it streaked across the sky like lightning, appearing before Su Shan in an instant.
Su Shan's eyes were filled with shock and bewilderment. She hadn't seen how the golden light arrived; she only felt a flash of golden light before a figure appeared before her.
As the golden escape light completely dissipated, an extremely familiar back entered her sight.
"Hus-husband?" Su Shan froze, her heart pounding, unable to believe what she saw.
Fang Hong slowly turned around, looking at her with gentle eyes, a smile of reunion on his face.
"Haha, it's been many years, my beloved wife has become even more enchanting."
Su Shan listened to his familiar voice, staring at him blankly.
Before she could react, Fang Hong casually waved his hand, a spiritual light flashing at his fingertip, and the Blood Demon lying on the ground didn't even have time to let out a wail, instantly turning into ashes on the spot, completely annihilated in body and spirit.
Su Shan clearly saw Fang Hong's face and heard his familiar voice, her cheeks couldn't help but flush slightly.
"Smooth talker."
"Hehehe."
Fang Hong, having not seen his beloved wife for many years, had a brilliant smile on his face, completely different from his usual cold and taciturn demeanor, more like a mischievous youth.
"How did you become... so strong?" Su Shan scrutinized him up and down, her expression a bit strange.
Was this still the Fang Hong she remembered?
Now, he was powerfully built and exceptionally strong, possibly hundreds of times more powerful than the sect's Nascent Soul Old Ancestors.
"I obtained a treasure that can temper the physical body, so my physique has become much stronger. These years, have you been well?" Fang Hong explained with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Su Shan's expression immediately became resentful, and she said indignantly.
"You still say. You haven't had any news all these years, I thought you had died in some unknown corner long ago."
"Hahaha. The events of these years are a long story." Fang Hong scratched his head, revealing a hint of an awkward smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, several powerful escape lights suddenly appeared in the distant sky. It turned out that those Nascent Soul Old Ancestors, sensing his aura, had all rushed over.
"My beloved wife, please step aside first. After your husband deals with these Devil Heads, I will properly catch up with you."
Fang Hong conjured a powerful protective shield to guard Su Shan and gave her his Turtle Shell Talisman for protection.
"Then be careful, they are all Nascent Soul Old Ancestors, and the one you just killed is the son of the Blood Spirit Old Ghost." Su Shan's expression tightened, and she warned him seriously.
"Nascent Soul Old Ancestors? Just watch from the side with peace of mind. See how I blow up these Devil Heads one by one." Fang Hong sneered.
Su Shan was stunned for a moment. In her impression, Fang Hong was not an arrogant person, so since he said it was fine, she shouldn't worry.
Su Shan immediately retreated, as the confrontation between Nascent Soul Cultivators was not something she, a Core Formation Stage cultivator, could interfere with.
Fang Hong's figure moved, and with a flash of escape light, he was already flying in mid-air.
He swept his gaze and saw two familiar faces: one was Old Ancestor Luo Jie of Danxian Valley, and the other was Su Shan's master—Elder Ye Yu.
Fang Hong had seen her once in Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden, and he hadn't expected her to have also broken through to the Nascent Soul realm now.
Besides Luo Jie and Ye Yu, Fang Hong didn't recognize the other few Nascent Soul Cultivators.
"Fang, Fang Hong? Is it really you?" Old Ancestor Luo Jie stared at the young man before him, his expression shocked, hardly believing his eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, long time no see." Fang Hong cupped his fist and smiled, greeting him politely.
He still had a good impression of Luo Jie, who had given him a high-grade talisman treasure for self-preservation back then.
"Hahaha. It really is you. I thought I had seen wrongly." Luo Jie laughed heartily, scrutinizing Fang Hong with a face full of shock.
The last time he saw Fang Hong, the latter was just a small cultivator who had just formed his core.
Now, in just under fifty years, Fang Hong's cultivation had already surpassed him, an Old Ancestor of Danxian Valley, which truly startled him.
"Fang Hong, to have grown to such an extent, it's truly astonishing." A blue-robed youth standing beside Luo Jie couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Fang Hong heard his voice, raised an eyebrow, feeling a slight familiarity, and asked curiously.
"This voice, could you be that mysterious Elder guarding the Scripture Pavilion in Danxian Valley?"
"Haha, it is I." The blue-robed youth smiled and nodded.
"He is another Grand Elder of our Danxian Valley—Zhong Yi." Luo Jie introduced from the side.
"So it's Fellow Daoist Zhong, a pleasure to meet you." Fang Hong cupped his hands and smiled.
Subsequently, Luo Jie briefly introduced Fang Hong to the Old Ancestors of other sects.
Upon learning the situation, the Old Ancestors expressions were varied and colorful, and they all greeted Fang Hong.
Danxian Valley actually had such a powerful and young Elder; now, Danxian Valley's strength was even greater.
Elder Ye Yu was also greatly shocked after seeing Fang Hong. She didn't have a deep impression of Fang Hong, having only met him briefly in front of Evergreen Blessed Herb Garden back then.
At that time, he was merely a small Foundation Establishment cultivator, insignificant, and still needed protection, but now he was a Peak Nascent Soul powerhouse.
Moreover, Fang Hong and her disciple seemed to have a close relationship.
