Chapter 1314: The Resurrected Demon Star

Chapter 1314: The Resurrected Demon Star

The sharp Spirit Sword was aimed at Lin Nuo, as if it sought to sever all their connections.

The same cliff, the same scene; she was about to experience it all firsthand.

But…

At the crucial moment, Lin Nuo dodged.

Yes, he sprung back to life like a zombie, and the tragedy didn’t repeat itself.

“How terrible! I almost bit the dust again.”

Lin Nuo took a deep breath, thankful for his quick reflexes; otherwise, he would have been chopped again.

Back to the same old place.

So how did they end up back in this wretched spot? Did he really die and revive, rewriting his destiny?

Oh no, he never wanted to see that cold-hearted Su Kexin again.

“Senior Brother, you… scared me to death…”

Su Kexin finally calmed down, truly thinking she was about to slice Lin Nuo.

“Hm? You just called me Senior Brother?”

“Of course! You are my Senior Brother. Though this Senior Brother isn’t the same as that one, according to the hierarchy, I still respect you as Senior Brother.”

“What hierarchy is that? Did you come from the Sacred Realm or what?”

Lin Nuo sensed something was off. Given Da Su’s personality, just being called Lin Nuo was already a great honor; he wouldn’t be called Senior Brother.

“The Sacred Realm? Huh? Senior Brother, is that you? How did we end up here?”

Su Kexin immediately connected the dots; they must have been transported here from the temple.

“It could be a time-space distortion or some so-called test. Ugh, this outfit.”

Lin Nuo glanced at the tattered battle robe draped over him, and memories of his past life flooded back.

This was where Su Kexin had killed him, and just when that sword was about to fall, he would’ve died, but he managed to dodge with all his might.

“So scary! I thought I was going to kill you, Senior Brother, and I couldn’t control it in time… Thankfully, you dodged.”

“I told you. If you couldn’t do it, you still have me. It may seem like you’re the only one who can change this, but in reality, I can too. However, your sword strike was indeed a bit slower than before, or perhaps that’s just your inner calling.”

Lin Nuo mused that if she had been a hair faster, he wouldn’t have been able to dodge; it seemed like a result of both their efforts.

It was close.

“But I didn’t do anything; it was Senior Brother’s agility that saved the day.”

“You might think that, but you did affect the sword’s speed. Based on my memory of that moment, I couldn’t have dodged that sword normally. Rip…”

Lin Nuo felt a pain in his wound; that feeling from years ago returned.

Damn memories were attacking him again.

Oh, they were right in the moment, so it wasn’t just memories anymore.

“Senior Brother, what’s wrong? You’re bleeding a lot! Who injured you like this?”

“Isn’t that a bit of a leading question? Don’t come any closer; let me recover. I worry you might swing that sword again and finish me off.”

Lin Nuo hurriedly stopped Su Kexin. Who else would be the one to chop him but her?

“You may go back now.”

At that moment, Ling Qi’s voice rang out, but Lin Nuo and the others couldn’t see her.

“God! Where are you speaking from?”

Lin Nuo shouted into the air, and soon came Ling Qi’s echo:

“I’m in the temple. This is just an illusion belonging to you two. Now that you’ve avoided the tragedy, you can return.”

“Return? How do we do that?”

Lin Nuo asked, and then the space began to collapse.

“You’ll just return naturally. Good luck to you.”

As soon as Ling Qi finished speaking, the entire space crumbled, sucking Lin Nuo and Su Kexin into a vortex.

……

……

At the cliff’s edge, Lin Nuo and Su Kexin awakened.

“Where are we? Huh? We’re still not back? Senior Brother.”

Su Kexin, waking up, panicked as she found herself still at the Cold Ridge summit.

“Stop panicking; we’re back.”

Lin Nuo quipped. The sky was different, their clothes were different; they were just still standing at the Cold Ridge summit.

There were no traces of blood on him anymore; Su Kexin’s eyes were still clear, and the unsettling aura from the Sacred Realm was gone.

This was the human realm; they had returned.

“In the human realm? So, we’re back! Yay~!”

Su Kexin’s panic instantly turned into excitement, and she hugged Lin Nuo, shouting joyfully.

“Senior Brother, Senior Brother, we’re back! Let’s hurry and get married! We should invite Auntie and my family; it has to be a big celebration!”

“Why are you always thinking about this?”

“Of course! It’s a major life event! Plus, we’ve survived through life and death. Adversity reveals true feelings. This must be heaven’s will; we are destined to be together~! We’re going to have so many kids, and they’ll all be as talented as you, Senior Brother, spreading their legends everywhere.”

“You’ve thought this far ahead already…”

Lin Nuo lifted Su Kexin, summoned his sword, and soared before them.

“It’s over, let’s go home.”

The two stepped onto the flying sword, soaring into the clouds, heading towards the Qin family.

Ideally, Mu Yiting and the others would have returned, and they should head to the Qin family first, where Liu Shuqin and Ruo’er were waiting.

If things went smoothly on the Demon Realm and Sacred Realm fronts, all the cracks would be mended, and the human realm would no longer face threats.

In fact, with the Handa Alliance gone, no one would pry open the cracks anymore, so they would slowly heal by themselves.

“Senior Brother, what is that…?”

Su Kexin suddenly pointed below; it was Ningzhou Peak, the place where the Demon Star had fallen.

After the Demon Star fell, Ningzhou Peak became a battleground between the immortal and demonic paths because the demonic path sought power from the Demon Star while the immortal path aimed to eliminate its source.

Over time, the powers and resources contained within the Demon Star had long been drained, like an ordinary meteorite.

When Lin Nuo flew over before, there was no powerful Demon Qi, but now it was seeping back in.

The feeling of revival from the dead.

“That’s the Demon Star’s place; what’s going on?”

Lin Nuo found it strange, but as the flying sword passed by, he didn’t turn back.

“Never mind, maybe some energy escaped.”

Lin Nuo was a man who had lived for a lifetime; those powers would eventually dissipate anyway.

After flying for a while, they finally returned to the Qin family.

After all the ups and downs in the Demon Realm, they finally reached the original teleportation point.

“Ah? It’s Lord Lin! Lord Lin is back! Hurry and report to the Master!”

The Qin family servants were ecstatic upon seeing Lin Nuo return, rushing to inform Qin Zhu.

Lin Nuo and Qin Shili had tacitly agreed to marry, so these servants addressed Lin Nuo as ‘Lord.’

But where were Liu Shuqin and Ruo’er?

Were they in the room?

Soon, Qin Zhu rushed out in a flurry, excitedly saying:

“Lin Nuo, you’re finally back! This is fantastic!”

“Yeah, I’m back, Lord Lin. Have Shili and the others returned?”

“They have, but they’ve all gone out.”

“Where to?” Lin Nuo asked.

“It’s Qin Dao and the others. After you left, they began a large-scale offensive, and all the sects allied to battle them. They went to provide support.” Qin Zhu said anxiously.
