Chapter 495: Chapter 492: The Passage of Time_1

This sigh, was for the passing of time, the changes, and the helplessness.

The past can no longer be turned back…

Among the two women who appeared, one of them was none other than Jiang Caiying. And the other woman…

This woman seemed to be in her twenties or thirties, still somewhat full of vigor compared to Jiang Caiying. However, the vicissitudes revealed in her eyes could not be concealed, indicating that she had experienced the passage of time and was a woman who had been tempered by it.

As soon as the two women appeared, the Black Scorpion Envoy’s expression changed drastically. He stuttered as he looked at the woman beside Jiang Caiying for a long time before shouting, “It’s you, Mei Xiuying?”

“Mei Xiuying?”

The people in Sun Star City and Luo Yun Main City were all knowledgeable, although they had never seen Mei Xiuying in person, they had heard of her name. They knew what kind of existence these three words represented, and that the Black Scorpion Envoy, although powerful, was still inferior to her.

For a moment, the crowd quieted down, leaving only a few whispering voices.

“Mei Xiuying is a well-known powerful person. I didn’t expect her to appear in North Mountain County.”

“What’s going on?”

“You guys may not know this, Jiang Caiying is Mei Xiuying’s disciple. Perhaps Mei Xiuying is just worried about her own disciple. After all, Jiang Caiying came here all alone from thousands of miles away; as her master, how could she be at ease?”

The most embarrassed one was Yuan San from Sun Star City.

He had assumed that Yang Chen would die for sure this time. However, with Mei Xiuying’s sudden intervention, the situation had changed completely. Not only was Yang Chen’s life saved, but it also seemed like the Black Scorpion Envoy could no longer control the development of events.

The one who remained the most composed was Yang Chen.

Yang Chen knew that he must stay calm.

At this point, no matter who he was facing, he couldn’t afford to show any weakness.

However…

Looking at this old acquaintance from the past, he couldn’t say he wasn’t shocked.

“Young Master, I also can’t determine the divine soul realm of this Mei Xiuying. It’s so terrifying, too terrifying… Her realm is much stronger than mine,” Elder Yun Lu exclaimed.

“Is that so?” Yang Chen murmured to himself, looking at Mei Xiuying not far away and secretly sighing in his heart.

As time went by, what he couldn’t accept was how many years had passed since his reincarnation.

When he died back then, Mei Xiuying was just a teenage girl, not much different from Gu Mingyue. In the blink of an eye, Mei Xiuying had become a completely different person compared to that young girl. She had shed her childishness and gained a sense of composure and calmness.

Even her Martial Arts Cultivation had changed dramatically, to the extent that even Elder Yun Lu couldn’t determine her level.

How could his heart remain unruffled amidst such changes?

“Mei Xiuying…Mei Xiuying!” A sudden thought struck Yang Chen in his heart: “Oops, oops!”

He had told Jiang Caiying that his master knew Mei Xiuying. He had originally thought he wouldn’t see Mei Xiuying for a while and by the time Jiang Caiying mentioned this to Mei Xiuying, he would no longer know of their whereabouts. However, who would have guessed that things would unfold so coincidentally.

Now, Mei Xiuying was right here, and she had even saved him.

As Yang Chen felt flustered, he also silently prayed that Jiang Caiying had not told Mei Xiuying about him.

But just as this thought crossed his mind, Mei Xiuying looked over at him with her lovely eyes.

These were a pair of crystal clear, captivating eyes.

Just a casual glance.

However, that single glance was enough.

After that glance, she turned her head back to the Black Scorpion Envoy, and her concealed aura of oppression made the Black Scorpion Envoy break out in a cold sweat.

At this moment, the Black Scorpion Envoy trembled all over, becoming awkward as he faced Mei Xiuying’s cold aura: “So, it’s Immortal Mei. Hehe, I, Black Scorpion, merely misspoke just now. Miss Jiang is your precious disciple. As a mere Envoy of the Black Dragon Sect, how could I dare vent my anger on her? I just wanted to kill the insignificant Yang Chen of the Yuanshan Sect. Immortal Mei should have no objections, right?”

Hearing that the Black Scorpion Envoy still wouldn’t let Yang Chen off, people of the Yuanshan Sect couldn’t help getting anxious.

Especially Mu Baisheng, who was angry but dared not say anything.

At this moment, Mei Xiuying, with her hands behind her back, glanced at the Black Scorpion Envoy. If she couldn’t understand the implications of the Black Scorpion Envoy’s words, then it would be truly strange.

The Black Scorpion Envoy intentionally or unintentionally brought up the Black Dragon Sect, not just in one sentence, but in two or three. The idea was simple: he was using the Black Dragon Sect to threaten her.

Mei Xiuying wouldn’t fall for his tactics. With a wave of her hand, she scoldingly said, “Black Scorpion, there’s no need to use your Black Dragon Sect to threaten me. Don’t even bring it up; I, Mei Xiuying, will protect this Yang Chen today.”

“Immortal Mei, what do you mean? Do you really think our Black Dragon Sect is easy to deal with? If you want to protect this kid, there must be a reason for it.” Although the Black Scorpion Envoy feared Mei Xiuying, he had the backing of the Black Dragon Sect, so he wouldn’t be as submissive as others when dealing with her.

Hearing the Black Scorpion Envoy mentioning the Black Dragon Sect again, Mei Xiuying scoffed, “You want a reason? Fine, the reason is simple: I find this kid pleasing to the eye.”

“This!” The Black Scorpion Envoy looked at Mei Xiuying’s unreasoning demeanor and was at a complete loss for a moment.

After thinking it over, he eventually gave up on the idea.

The reason he wanted to kill Yang Chen was solely because Yu Feilong’s father had some connections with him, the Black Scorpion Envoy. He had initially wanted to kill Yang Chen to give Yu Feilong’s father a superficial explanation. However, who would’ve thought that Mei Xiuying would go to such lengths to protect Yang Chen?

With Mei Xiuying backing him up, the Black Scorpion Envoy wasn’t foolish enough to continue causing trouble for Yang Chen. However, he still needed to show some toughness: “Fine, Immortal Mei, I’ll remember your words. You want to protect Yang Chen; I, Black Scorpion, will accept my loss. Humph.”

As soon as his words fell, the Black Scorpion Envoy knew that there was no point in staying here any longer. He waved his hand and shouted, “All Black Dragon Sect members, follow me and let’s go.”

In an instant, the numerous powerful people of the Black Dragon Sect left in a grand manner.

Yang Chen sighed with relief as he watched the Black Scorpion Envoy leave. Although Mei Xiuying’s appearance made him feel awkward, the current situation was much better than the consequences of revealing that he was the one controlling the Secret Realm.

Besides, he wasn’t the kind of person who would let others humiliate him.

He would remember today’s actions of the Black Scorpion Envoy!

Of course, what infuriated him the most was not the Black Scorpion Envoy, but Yuan San from Sun Star City.
