Ye Shikai returns, revealing he spent two years in the Qin Dynasty and married a woman named Ling'er, who looks strikingly like Su Qingyu. He is determined to return to the past, believing Kunlun Mountain holds the key. Su Qingyu insists on accompanying him, despite his objections about the dangers.

"I do not intend to threaten you, but you absolutely cannot return. Besides, even if what Zi Yun said is true and Kunlun Mountain possesses the power to traverse time, what assurance do you have to accurately travel back to the Qin Dynasty? What if you end up in the Stone Age or an even earlier period? What would you do then? And if you cannot return, what should we do?" As Su Qingyu persuaded, looking at the person in front of her, Ye Shikai’s heart finally calmed down, as if He Linghan stood before him.

Does he still love Su Qingyu? Perhaps. Otherwise, why did he immediately become attracted to He Linghan, who looked identical, when he went to the Qin Dynasty? His divorce from Su Qingyu was out of necessity, for the sake of the child in Chen Yuxin’s womb. After marrying, he had not experienced a single day of happiness, until he went to the Qin Dynasty and met He Linghan...

"I understand everything you said, Qingyu. In fact, I’ve always felt guilty towards you, but I cannot accept this outcome. Even if I truly cannot be with Ling’er, there should at least be an explanation." Ye Shikai continued to speak.

At this moment, Ye Shikai was in deep pain. He could not return, nor even know whether He Linghan was dead or alive. If he had already died beneath Mi Wen’s sword, then she probably wouldn’t kill He Linghan again...

"Additionally, I really appreciate you coming to see me. You were right; even though my two years in the Qin Dynasty felt real, looking back now, they seem like a dream, yet I am unwilling to wake from that dream." Having spoken, Ye Shikai walked past He Linghan, wanting to go to Kunlun Mountain. The quickest way was to head to the airport.

"Brother, you’ve just returned, you should first go back to Yanjing. Kunlun Mountain is too dangerous right now." At the airport, Zi Yun continued to persuade.

"Yeah, Boss, everyone’s at Kunlun Mountain now, it’s like a battle of the gods. You’ve just returned, and all the remaining Hidden Guards have gone up the mountain with Lord Moon God. It’s really too dangerous for you to go alone."

"Zi Yun, Worm, you go back with Qingyu, don’t worry about me any longer. Besides, are you still worried about my strength?" Ye Shikai reassured.

"Boss, has your inner strength..."

"Completely recovered, and even stronger than before." Ye Shikai smiled lightly, causing the two to be taken aback.

"That’s truly wonderful."

"Indeed, Boss was chased by Doris and her group because of losing inner strength. Now that he has it back, the Netherworld Palace will definitely return to its peak."

Thinking from another perspective, although Ye Shikai went to the Qin Dynasty and disappeared for two months, suffering a lot, he was able to repair his Dantian and recover his inner strength, which can be considered a blessing in disguise. After all, returning to the modern world, dangers around him remain significant, especially those from skilled cultivators, sometimes even more frightening than a thousand war horses.

"Otherwise, why not return to Yanjing first." Su Qingyu still wanted to persuade but was rejected by Ye Shikai.

"Don’t worry about me. I’m going to Kunlun Mountain to see acquaintances. Now that Nightmare and the others are at Kunlun Mountain, I can’t just leave them there unattended. If they encounter danger, I can help too." Ye Shikai explained, bought a ticket, passed through the boarding gate, and flew to Kunlun Mountain.

"Officer Zhang, thank you so much this time. I still have some matters, you can return to Yanjing first." Su Qingyu said blandly.

"No problem, it’s just a minor effort. I’m going back on a business trip and will return to the police station. I’ll excuse myself before long."

"Okay, be safe on your way."

After Zhang Ting drove away, Su Qingyu seemed to be lost in thought. Perhaps she couldn’t understand or respond immediately, after all, she had only met Ye Shikai for a short time. How could two years’ worth of experiences be explained in a few words?

"Cough cough, sister-in-law, are you planning to return to Yanjing next?" Zi Yun asked from the side.

"You all go back first, I want to... make a trip to Kunlun."

"Sister-in-law, Kunlun Mountain is not a place we can just go. There are many cultivators there, and some of them hold grudges against brother. If they find out your identity, it would be dangerous." Zi Yun advised.

"I’m not going up the mountain, I’ll just stay below, waiting for him to return." Su Qingyu bought the next flight ticket to Kunlun.

"Sister-in-law, since you’re determined to go, I’ll accompany you." Zi Yun said.

"Yes, I’ll go too." Worm, seeing this, was naturally unwilling to return alone.

"Alright, you don’t need to go." Zi Yun advised, "I carry quite a few poisons, if we encounter danger, I have ways to escape. You better hurry back, brother also said there are important photos on his phone."

Kunlun Mountain.

"The major families ahead are really having quite a lively battle, it’s no smaller than the scale we encountered abroad." Wang Kai looked at the "battlefield" not far away, feeling a bit apprehensive. After the War God Temple was destroyed, he and the remaining brothers stayed with the Netherworld Palace generals and came to Kunlun Mountain together.

"Naturally, Huaxia alone has dozens of major families, even more if you count smaller ones, in addition, the Kunlun Mountain ruins are not like others, here is acclaimed as the ’Holy Mountain’ of Huaxia. Anyone who dares to come here is not an ordinary character." Ji Qian said indifferently.

"Lord War God, aren’t you also from Huaxia? Don’t you know this?" Soul Destroyer questioned.

"Shameful, shameful, I mostly stayed in the War God Temple and seldom returned, so I am not familiar with many things in Huaxia. Had it not been for Doris taking advantage of the temple’s essence loss to break the War God Temple, I wouldn’t have wanted to come either." Wang Kai explained.

"Alright, let’s all quiet down." Ji Qian said, mentioning that this time the Ji Family essentially moved out in full force, bringing together elders and masters within a month. Of course, not only the Ji Family, but also the four major families of Yanjing, the three major families of Chang’an, and the cultivating families from Jiangnan were all going all out. Describing it as a battle of the immortals is not an exaggeration. The Netherworld Palace generals and Wang Kai are after all from the Main God Temple forces, if they recklessly come here, they might become targets of everyone. Thus Ji Qian had them all masked, following beside her without arousing suspicion from others.

"Miss, the Family Head orders you to lead the troop at the rear, providing cover for the main forces." Chen Ligong led several members of the White Mist Army, and came to speak.

"Understood." Ji Qian nodded.

"Also, we are approaching a relic soon, and there are many people from other families around. The Family Head cautioned you not to be careless, stay alert."

"Hmm."

"Lord Moon God, there are many cultivators in this vicinity. They are already embroiled in a chaotic battle, so the best choice should be to detour." Nightmare said coolly.
