Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 445 Shi An's Anger

The good news is that the young man is very likely Shi Hao, who has returned from a foreign land.

What angered him was that, after the incidents involving the remnants of the Immortal Palace and the Sword Valley, there were still people who dared to bully the weak and attack Shi Hao.

How long has it been since?

The sharp edge of the sword that Liu Shen held high above the heavens and the earth had not yet dissipated, and the warning forged with blood and bone was still ringing in our ears, yet someone else had jumped out and committed this despicable act!

Yuan Qing of the Feng Clan dared to openly bully the weak by suppressing Shi Hao, the disciple whom Liu Shen personally acknowledged and for whom she was willing to unleash a massive killing spree, into the perilous Primordial Ancient Mine, and even boasted that he would suppress him for ten years!

This is not merely persecution of Shi Hao, but a blatant provocation and trampling of the supreme authority of the Willow God, completely disregarding the Willow God's declaration to "visit and destroy his lineage."

This behavior is tantamount to trampling wildly on the restricted area line that Liu Shen just drew. Its audacity and stupidity are simply outrageous!
Thinking of this, Shi An's originally harmonious and restrained aura, which resonated with heaven and earth, couldn't help but let out a trace of it.

In an instant, it seemed as if an invisible storm was brewing around him, the rocks beneath his feet silently turned to dust, the surrounding space was slightly distorted, and the light dimmed.

In the depths of the illusory starry sky reflected in his eyes, chaos seemed to be churning, and stars were flickering. A deep, simmering rage, originating from the miniature universe within his body and powerful enough to split the heavens and the earth, was like a volcano about to erupt, which he forcibly suppressed beneath a calm exterior.

Yunxi and Huoling'er were closest to him and instantly felt the terrifying aura that made their souls tremble.

That was not a deliberate release of pressure, but rather a primordial resonance triggered by intense fluctuations in one's thoughts, as if a newly born universe was raging!
Yunxi gripped his arm tightly with worry. She could clearly feel the muscles in Shi An's arm tense up instantly, a strength powerful enough to crush stars. This made her instantly anxious, and she whispered, "Brother An!"

Huo Ling'er's face turned deathly pale, and after a brief moment of confusion, she instantly made a guess.

For Shi An to be so moved, the "young man" must be connected to him, and most likely...

"Shi Hao?!"

Thinking this, Huo Ling'er suddenly cried out in shock, her voice trembling with disbelief and sharp pain: "It's Hao?! He's back, and he's... he's been suppressed in the Primordial Ancient Mine?!"

As she spoke, she suddenly turned her head and stared intently at the few academy disciples who were still discussing, her eyes instantly blazing with fury, as if she wanted to burn anyone who dared to harm Shi Hao to ashes!
The Primordial Ancient Mine! What kind of place is that? It's a death trap where even the sect leader would have a slim chance of survival if he went in!
They will be suppressed for another ten years; this is clearly an attempt to kill them!

"Yuan Qing... Wind Clan..."

Shi An's voice was as deep as a cold wind from the depths of hell sweeping across an icy surface, each word carrying a chilling intent that seemed to freeze the void: "Good, very good, excellent!"

After saying that, he slowly raised his head, his gaze piercing through the void, as if locking onto the distant location of the Wind Clan, or as if seeing the infamous depths of the Desolate Land.

Deep within those calm, unwavering eyes, there was no longer any trace of the gentle tranquility he possessed in the Purple Bamboo Forest. Only a domineering indifference, as if looking down upon ants, remained, along with a fury capable of burning down the stars and a chilling killing intent.

The Willow Goddess's sword hangs in the heavens, yet some dare to ignore it and even draw their swords to provoke her.

Ten years of suppression?

He wanted to see if Yuan Qing and the Feng Clan could afford the price of "ten years"!

"Brother An!" Feeling the chill emanating from Shi An that seemed to crush the void, Yun Xi couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

She knew that Shi An was truly enraged, and that his anger was enough to set off a prairie fire and burn away all enemies.

She held his hand tightly, trying to offer some comfort, but what she touched was a bottomless, icy sea.

Huo Ling'er's eyes reddened with anxiety, and her voice trembled with tears: "The Primordial Ancient Mine... that's a deadly place! Shi Hao... Brother An, we have to go save him!"

Her concern for Shi Hao was evident, and she couldn't wait to rush to the Primordial Ancient Mine.

Upon hearing this, Shi An restrained the wisp of aura that had been dissipating, instantly restoring calm to the distorted space around him, but the oppressive feeling of his presence grew even stronger.

He gently patted Yunxi's hand, then gave Huo Ling'er a reassuring look: "Ling'er, don't worry, there's no need to panic too much."

His voice regained its calm, yet was colder than before, each word like iron: "Now that Brother Hao has returned, he will not perish easily. Although the Primordial Ancient Mine is a forbidden zone, it may not be able to trap him. Besides..."

At this point, he paused slightly, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes like the opening of chaos: "As the elder brother, I must resolve this trouble before he returns, otherwise wouldn't it make me seem too incompetent as the elder brother?"

“Brother An, Yuan Qing is a great cultivator at the level of severing my own life. Behind him is the Wind Clan, a long-lived family with a deep and complex influence that has far-reaching impact throughout the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.”

However, the meticulous Yunxi still had some worries. Although she knew that Shi An's cultivation had greatly improved during this seclusion, his opponent was, after all, a veteran powerhouse and a behemoth, and she couldn't help but wonder: "Should we...?"

"It doesn't matter."

However, Shi An did not pay much attention to this. Instead, he waved his hand lightly and a cold smile appeared on his lips: "Slaying my realm? Longevity family? So what? The will of the Willow God is still ringing in my ears. Since they dare to ignore it, they will have to pay the price."

"Some rules, once established, need to be remembered with blood."

The moment the words left his mouth, Shi An's aura completely changed.

It was no longer the previous tactful and reserved demeanor, nor the suppressed anger of the past; instead, it was an unparalleled majesty of ruling the world and controlling the universe that suddenly erupted!

"Buzz!"

In an instant, the entire area where the Heavenly God Academy was located seemed to have been hit by an invisible boulder.

Above the heavens, the flowing stars suddenly slowed down; beneath the earth, the surging spiritual veins choked with emotion.

All living beings within the academy's grounds, whether disciples sparring in the training grounds, elders in seclusion in quiet rooms, or even ancient beings lurking deep within the secret realm, felt a tremor and suffocation originating from the depths of their souls at this moment!
It was as if an ancient god or demon, who had been sleeping, had opened its eyes; its will was the law of heaven, and its aura was the law itself!
Shi An's figure did not grow taller, but he seemed to become the absolute center of this world.

His gaze turned to the distance again, this time not just towards the Wind Clan, but deeper still, as if piercing through the barrier of the Boundless Heaven, and seeing that desolate place filled with the aura of the Primordial Beginning.
