nAn ethereal green robe stood in the air with a green lotus longsword in hand. The woman’s eyes glared at the few cultivators in front of her.

n

nSu Yi looked at this figure from afar. His heart palpitated. Who else could that green-robed figure be other than Nie Ling?

n

nAfter more than a year, he had finally met her in the central sky region. Perhaps this was fate.

n

nRecalling everything that had happened in the great desolate region, Su Yi smiled and disappeared from his original spot.

n

nAt Nie Ling’s place, she looked at the few cultivators who were fighting with her. She clenched her teeth slightly, and the long sword in her hand continuously waved out several sharp sword lights.

n

n“Nie Ling, you killed many disciples of my Fire Cloud Sect. Today, you won’t be able to escape!”

n

nAmong the few cultivators, the leading one called himself a disciple of the Fire Cloud Sect. Then, he used a powerful spell to block Nie Ling’s sword attacks.

n

nNie ling was slightly shocked when she saw this. She did not expect her sword light to be blocked so easily.

n

nHowever, this was very normal. After all, she was only at the early stage of the core formation realm, while the other party was almost at the late stage.

n

nThe gap between them was obvious.

n

nIt was clearly the disciple of the Fire Cloud Sect who provoked her in the beginning. She could not bear it anymore and killed the other party.

n

nShe looked at the approaching Fire Cloud Sect cultivator with a sinister smile in his eyes, and a trace of despair flashed through her heart.

n

nShe had come to the central sky region to chase after the footsteps of a certain person, but she did not expect that she would die here just after she received the news about that person.

n

nA desperate and sorrowful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth as she muttered to herself, “It seems that it’s a little too much to hope to catch up to your footsteps.”

n

nThen, Nie Ling’s body suddenly shook, and a sharp sword qi circulated around her body. She knew that she could not run away. She decided to use the remaining true essence in her body. If she risked her life, she might even be able to take down two of them.

n

nThinking of this, Nie Ling’s fingers moved, attempting to use some forbidden techniques. However, at this time, a familiar figure landed in front of her. That figure’s long hair fluttered in the wind, and his Daoist robe fluttered in the wind.

n

nNie ling was stunned. She did not know when, but her hand had stopped moving.

n

nThe person who suddenly appeared in her eyes was the person she was looking for.

n

n“Su Yi, is that you…?”

n

nShe called out softly, as if she was afraid that she had mistaken him for someone else.

n

n“Long time no see, Nie Ling.”

n

nSu Yi slowly turned his head around and looked at Nie Ling, whose eyes were flickering. A year had passed, and Nie Ling’s appearance had also changed greatly.

n

nThe young girl from before no longer existed. The current Nie Ling was mature with a sense of stability, and she was becoming more and more beautiful.

n

nAs Nie Ling looked at Su Yi’s extremely familiar face, her jade-like hands trembled. For a moment, she did not know what to say.

n

nThe person she had missed for a long time suddenly appeared in her eyes at her most critical moment. This feeling was so dreamy.

n

nEven with Nie Ling’s much more steady heart, she wanted to stretch out her hand to confirm whether the Su Yi in front of her was real or her imagination.

n

nAt this moment, the few cultivators from the Fire Cloud Sect spoke.

n

n“Where did this kid come from? Get out of the way quickly. Don’t meddle in the Fire Cloud Sect’s business. You’re asking for trouble if you don’t move.”

n

nThese cultivators thought that once the background of the Fire Cloud Sect was exposed, Su Yi would retreat. However, they did not expect that at this moment, Su Yi was burning with anger.

n

nSu Yi looked at Nie Ling and saw that her face was somewhat pale. He did not dare to imagine what would happen if he had not come to this place by chance.

n

nNie Ling probably would not have been able to find him.

n

nThinking of this, he clenched his fist and said to Nie Ling, “You take a rest first. Wait for me to take care of these little rascals.”

n

nAfter saying this, his entire body shook, and a thick aura pressed down on those Fire Cloud Sect cultivators. He formed a hand seal with his fingers, and a brand new spell technique rumbled out.

n

nWith Su Yi’s strength that was comparable to a nascent soul, these few late stage core formation cultivators were naturally instantly killed.

n

nSu Yi even used a terrifying soul extinguishing sword qi, exterminating their bodies and souls.

n

nAfter finishing off the Fire Cloud Sect disciples who were chasing Nie Liang, he returned to her side. This caused Nie Ling to be somewhat stunned. With just one move, he had finished off the enemies who were chasing after her. She was helpless before those guys just moments ago.

n

nWas this the current strength of Su Yi?

n

nHowever, this was not the time to discuss the issue of strength. Seeing that Su Yi had come to her side, Nie Ling immediately went up to him. Both of their gazes were gentle as they looked at each other.

n

nThe two of them looked at each other for a long time, but neither of them spoke. Although they had only left for a year, Su Yi’s departure was too sudden. She had too many things she wanted to say, and did not know where to begin.

n

nAt this time, Su Yi opened his mouth and asked Nie Ling, “Nie Ling, a year after I left the great desolate region, did anything happen?”

n

nWith Su Yi initiating the conversation, Nie Ling first responded to Su Yi’s question and then asked him about the past year.

n

nThe two of them did not fly in the sky. Instead, they walked slowly on the ground and talked about the past.

n

nFrom Nie Ling’s words, she learned that after he transcended the lightning tribulation in the great desolate region and arrived at the central sky region, there were no more major events in the great desolate region.

n

nAt that time, the Nie family’s trading company was also developing rapidly. When she ascended to the central sky region, her family already had the tendency to surpass the Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

n

nNie Ling had transcended the lightning tribulation and arrived at the central sky region half a year ago. During this half a year, she had also joined a sect to cultivate like Su Yi.

n

nAs for today’s matter, the Fire Cloud Sect disciples who were chasing her were sent by the hostile forces of her sect. Without Su Yi’s appearance, she would really have been doomed today.

n

nAfter the two of them recounted their past events, they both sighed. In just a short year, their circumstances were different, and the tribulations they experienced were also different. However, they both felt like they had been reborn.

n

n“Oh right, where are Zhao Xuening and Li Mengxi?” Su Yi asked.

n

nIf Nie Ling did not have any special fortuitous encounters after that, then these two girls would definitely have reached the core formation realm before her, reaching the central sky region.

n

nHearing Su Yi ask about these two girls, Nie ling was slightly stunned, then she slowly told him about them.

n

nAt that time, after Su Yi reached the central sky region, the three girls had increased their cultivation speed. Zhao Xuening’s talent was extremely terrifying, and with her immortal body, she had already reached the central sky region three months after Su Yi had transcended the tribulation.

n

nLi Mengxi was not that slow either. One month after Zhao Xuening had transcended her tribulation, she had also transcended her core formation tribulation and ascended to the central sky region.

n

nIn any case, among the three women, Nie Ling was the slower one, but this was enough to prove her talent. There were very few people in the central sky region who were able to reach the core formation realm at this age.

n

nJust like the few disciples from the Fire Cloud sect. Do not look at them as having core formation realm cultivation, they were already 40 to 50 years old.

n

nHowever, he had not expected Zhao Xuening and Li Mengxi to come to the central sky region so early.

n

nHowever, why were there no news about these two?

n

nFortunately, Nie Ling and the two girls actually maintained contact in the central sky region.

n

n….
