The Lone Walker

"Well, all good things must come to an end. Practice hard in the future, and maybe we'll meet again someday."

After Chen Fan finished speaking to everyone, he put away the Xuantian Tower and recalled many guards. Yang Yunxi also stayed in the Xuantian Tower...

Ever since the moment he stepped into the world of Zombie Contract, Chen Fan felt as if his heart was being pressed down by a heavy rock, and he was always holding back his anger with nowhere to vent.

He took every step very carefully, as if he was standing on the edge of an abyss or treading on thin ice, for fear that the slightest carelessness would cause Yang Yunxi's three souls to be unable to return to their places.

Fortunately, after going through countless hardships and life-and-death tests, he finally reached the final stage and completed the integration of the three books, successfully bringing the three souls back into one!

Moreover, the integration of the three books not only allowed Yang Yunxi to wake up from his long sleep, but also allowed him to successfully break through to the initial stage of True Immortal, and his strength was comparable to Chen Fan...

In the Zombie World, Yang Yunxi has the power of a world behind her, so I'm afraid Chen Fan is not her opponent...

With a flash of white light, Chen Fan disappeared from the spot, leaving only the empty Xuantian Island...

……

Chen Fan stepped out of the light curtain of his sea of ​​consciousness, as if he had crossed thousands of years and returned to the familiar yet unfamiliar real world.

The scene before him made him feel a little dazed, as if he had experienced a long dream.

At this moment, he was above Huangshui County. Then Chen Fan released Yang Yunxi from the Xuantian Tower. When they returned to the real world, both of them were eager to go home.

"Chen Fan, when are we going home..." Yang Yunxi asked after coming out.

Looking down at the bustling crowd and the busy streets below, this was where Chen Fan once lived, but now it gave him a feeling that things had changed and people had changed.

Chen Fan couldn't help but feel a surge of longing in his heart, and he thought of his junior fellow apprentice Li Guolong.

For Chen Fan, they haven't seen each other for tens of thousands of years. He wonders how his junior brother is doing now?

So, Chen Fan decided to take Yang Yunxi with him to visit Li Guolong.

"Yunxi, Huangshui County is my hometown. The city lord here is my junior brother. We haven't seen each other for many years. I want to go down and see him first, and then we will return to Kyoto. How about it..." Chen Fan responded.

"Okay, everything is up to you!" Yang Yunxi said with a smile.

So Chen Fan and Yang Yunxi chatted idly, talking about everything Chen Fan had done for Yang Yunxi after he lost his three souls, which deeply moved Yang Yunxi.

Yang Yunxi also told Chen Fan about some of her insights and experiences in cultivation...

Unconsciously, they flew down from the clouds and arrived at the gate of Huangshui County...

On that day, Chen Fan relied on the power of the Nine Cauldrons to suppress the land of China, making it impossible for those ferocious monsters from foreign lands to set foot into the city.

Not only that, he also left the most powerful of them, the Yuwang Ding, in Huangshui County.

His action was like a magic needle that stabilized the sea, making the previously unknown Huangshui County instantly famous.

As time went by, the status of Huangshui County rose day by day. In contrast, although the other nine base cities were also protected by the Nine Cauldrons barrier, they were still often invaded by monsters, and from time to time one or two of them would slip into the city and wreak havoc.

However, Huangshui County remained safe and sound, as if there was an invisible barrier protecting it.

Such a magical situation naturally attracted the attention of many wealthy people and high-ranking officials.

They moved their families to Huangshui County in order to stay away from the threat of monsters and seek a peaceful place. Suddenly, the population of Huangshui County increased dramatically and land resources became extremely scarce.

Today, Huangshui County has become a prosperous and bustling place where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, and as the city lord, Li Guolong is naturally ecstatic.

Today, Huangshui County’s defense capability is second only to Kyoto Base City. Soldiers patrolling back and forth can be seen everywhere on the city walls. The team leader is actually a master in the late Grandmaster stage. This shows its defensive strength.

“Stop! Who are you? How dare you trespass into Huangshui Base City!…” At this moment, a heroic young soldier blocked their way like a tiger.

He was holding an extremely sharp steel knife, which shone with a chilling light. His eyes were full of vigilance and majesty, staring closely at the two uninvited guests in front of him, and his voice was as loud as a bell, with an unquestionable momentum and scolding.

Yes, due to the revival of spiritual energy, ordinary people's dependence on thermal weapons has gradually decreased. Although part of the technology of the Devouring World has been handed over to the country, after all, the time is still short, and so far no powerful weapons have been heard of.

And the babies born in the past year have possessed an acquired level of cultivation from the moment they were born!

Even if these children do not practice martial arts deliberately, by the time they grow up, they will probably have strength that is no less than that of masters in the innate realm.

If they practiced a little harder, it would be easy for them to become a master!

What is even more amazing is those people who are gifted and outstanding, such as Long Fei and other peerless geniuses, who have long transcended the mundane world, entered the realm of immortals, and embarked on the broad road to immortality.

Chen Fan smiled but didn't answer...

Just as the young soldier was about to take action, a slightly older but determined-eyed and experienced figure quickly flashed by and stopped his impulsive steps.

This person is none other than one of the survivors of the thrilling battle to defend the city that day. After years of training and cultivation, he has now reached the pinnacle of the Grandmaster realm and is only one step away from the legendary Golden Elixir of Martial Arts!

He exuded a calm and powerful aura, like an unshakable mountain, which made people feel awe.

He looked down and saw Chen Fan standing at the city gate. He was tall and handsome.

The older soldier saw him from a distance and couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity. This man's face seemed familiar, but he was not sure.

So he quickly stepped forward and asked tentatively, "Is that Mr. Chen at the gate?"

Chen Fan heard the voice, turned around, and met the older soldier's gaze. He smiled slightly, nodded, and replied, "That's me."

The older soldier saw this and showed joy on his face, and said quickly:

"That's great! Mr. Chen, it's really an honor for our Huangshui Base City that you can come here! I believe that the city lord will be very happy to know that you are here!"

Chen Fan smiled and thanked him, thinking that this older soldier was quite enthusiastic.

Little did people know that although the story of Jiuding Zhen Huaxia was not widely circulated, Li Guolong did have some vague guesses in his mind, because the Tiger Soul Blade and the Yuwang Ding were both treasures that had been with Chen Fan, and therefore were contaminated with Chen Fan's aura, and there was some connection between them.
