My front door leads to a comic strip

Chapter 217, 216: The Thousand Realms Demon is in hand! Back home, I'll slap an elf away!

Whoosh whoosh!

The sound of air being torn apart continued endlessly in the dim world, and Gu Yuan's figure flashed rapidly across a desolate plain like lightning tearing through the darkness.

Each flash precisely intercepts a transparent ripple attempting to merge into space.

His eyes narrowed slightly, fixed on the figure in front of him that kept trying to escape.

"This is the true form of the Thousand Realms Demon?" Gu Yuan stared at the transparent gem that emitted astonishing magical energy fluctuations, and understood in his heart, "It was worth tracking it for a whole month."

With only a little time left before he was automatically expelled from this space, he finally caught him.

Seemingly realizing that simply shuttling around was no longer enough to shake off the ever-present "hunter" behind it, the transparent gem suddenly stopped in mid-air.

It stopped trying to escape and began to vibrate at a strange, high frequency.

Buzz!

The surrounding space immediately became heavy and suffocating, as if falling into an invisible black hole, even the light was distorted.

"A trivial skill."

Gu Yuan's surging battle qi erupted suddenly, its scorching aura like a miniature sun, forcefully creating an unaffected domain.

He took a step!

boom!

The void shattered, and the solidified space around them broke apart, closing the distance once again.

call out!call out!call out!

He left behind solid afterimages, easily avoiding all invisible spatial compressions, and in the instant before the Thousand Realms Demon could even "see" his movements, he closed in!

A metal box quietly appeared—this was a top-tier sealing magic item provided by the Lehasolde Merchant Guild.

"receive."

Gu Yuan gave a low shout, and the square box burst forth with dazzling light, transforming into a net that instantly enveloped the transparent gemstone.

The Thousand Realms Demon was enraged. It frantically attacked the seal, but it was as if it had crashed into an invisible barrier, and it could no longer mobilize any spatial power.

Gu Yuan felt the resistance within the box gradually subside, and his heart settled.

"Plan achieved."

Imprisoning it is not too difficult; the difficulty lies in catching up with its ever-changing form.

Just as Gu Yuan carefully put the square box away.

hum!

The entire alternate dimension trembled violently, as if it had lost its supporting core.

Ripples spread rapidly from him toward the endless sky and earth.

Click—click—

The sound of shattering continued, and the scene before Gu Yuan's eyes distorted. Suddenly, he saw the figure of Wilme, who should have been in the distant stone chamber.

Wilmae seemed to have also noticed the change in space and the staring gaze. He paused and slowly turned around.

Eyes facing each other.

After a brief moment of surprise, an understanding of the current situation immediately overwhelmed personal emotions.

Such a convergence of spaces can only mean one thing—Gu Yuan has succeeded!

Gu Yuan nodded slightly and took a step forward.

The space beneath his feet seemed to be compressed, and with a single step, he traversed countless distances, instantly appearing in the stone chamber where Wilme was.

At the very moment he stepped into the stone chamber, the surrounding light and shadows completely changed, and the alternate dimension that had lasted for a month suddenly vanished.

hum!

The warm sunshine and fresh air of the real world returned, bringing with them a vibrant sense of life.

Soon after, Alizee arrived in a hurry with a group of people, with Frilian following behind. She immediately spotted Wilmae, who was unharmed.

"Frilian!"

The mother and daughter embraced, their joy at surviving the ordeal spreading.

A moment later, they turned to Gu Yuan and expressed their deepest gratitude once again.

Gu Yuan nodded in response, but his gaze fell on Alizee beside him, his mind entirely focused on when he could turn the Thousand Realms Demon into a spatial magic tool.

However, he suddenly noticed the lingering unease and difficulty in Alizee's eyes, as if there was something she found hard to say.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yuan frowned slightly.

Alizee took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, and reported in a heavy tone: "Hero, there is—bad news."

"During your absence, your residence in the capital was broken into by a group of uninvited guests."

She paused, carefully observing Gu Yuan's expression, and lowered her voice, "It is said that Miss Miliearde has been kidnapped by them, and they have threatened to wait for you to come and rescue her."

What?

Gu Yuan's first reaction upon hearing this was that he had misheard.

So arrogant? A hostage situation? And in his own home? What are the guards and officials in the capital doing?

Didn't all those magical items I collected come in handy?

Alizee felt the sudden, invisible pressure, and she quickly added, forcing herself to remain calm, "Please don't worry too much. The people who kidnapped Miss Millie Alde have special identities; they are Miss Celie's personal disciples."

"They claimed it was just a domestic matter and presented some 'evidence' —"

"That's why it's difficult for outsiders to define or interfere. In many people's eyes, this is more like your—family matter."

"Family matters?" Gu Yuan repeated the word, his eyes narrowing slightly, a cold glint flashing within them, before he gave a cold snort, "I understand."

He turned to Alizee and, in an unquestionable tone, instructed, "Take good care of Frilian and her daughter. Once they have packed their belongings, bring them safely back to the capital. I'll be going now."

After saying that, without waiting for Alizee's response, Gu Yuan's figure vanished from the spot in a flash, leaving only a subtle ripple of air and a deathly silence.

Wangdu, Gu Yuan's Residence.

The once tranquil courtyard was now filled with an invisible tension, and even passersby subconsciously took a detour.

"Bang--!!"

With a loud crash, the sturdy door and frame were shattered by a tremendous force, and amidst flying wood chips, Gu Yuan stepped into the living room expressionlessly.

-

Inside the living room, the red-haired elf Philus was sitting on the sofa in the main seat.

A loud crash followed, and she jumped to her feet, her face flashing with shock and anger. Just as she was about to question him, "Slap!"

An invisible, crisp, and loud slap landed on her face from a distance!

Phyllis felt an irresistible force strike her; her cheeks instantly swelled and turned red, her mind went blank, and her ears rang.

"Varied----!"

She was thrown uncontrollably into the air and crashed into the window behind her.

Whoosh—!

The glass shattered with a crash, and Phyllis's figure tumbled and fell into the courtyard outside, a few drops of blood splattering onto the broken window frame.

The loud noise immediately attracted the attention of everyone upstairs.

"Philos!"

Hearing the commotion, Lena upstairs quickly walked to the railing and witnessed the tragic sight of Philus flying out of the broken window.

Her face instantly turned icy cold, her heart filled with shock and anger.

"How barbaric!"

Anger surged within her; she refused to believe that such a person deserved the title of "hero," which only strengthened their resolve to "save" their teacher.

Her short, silver hair moved without wind, and magic began to surge around her. She coldly declared, "Sisters, follow me! There are so many of us; we must make him pay for his rudeness!"

Seven elven girls followed closely behind, their faces filled with indignation and determination, united in their hatred of the enemy, and stormed down the stairs.

Upstairs in the room, Miliald was bound by special magical ropes and sat helplessly on the edge of the bed, unable to move.

She clearly heard the loud crash of the downstairs door breaking, followed by the crisp sound of a slap and the shattering of glass.

She sighed softly, her face filled with complex emotions.

"Hopefully Gu Yuan won't go too far—"

Seria was taken away by them for no other reason than that they had discovered the "Dominion Stone Ring".

Therefore, in their view, this was a "just" action taken entirely to save their beloved teacher.

But she knew Gu Yuan better; he would never compromise in the slightest just because the other party was Celia's disciple, nor would he accept this form of "coercion."

So—Miliarde shook her head slightly, a hint of pity flashing in her eyes.

This time, Celia will likely be implicated by these "filial" disciples and pay a heavy price.

As my thoughts raced, I heard a series of shouts, rapid magical howls, brief screams, and dull thuds of bodies hitting walls and furniture coming from downstairs.

Interspersed among these exclamations seemed to be Lena's incredulous exclamation: "Impossible! Our combined shield—"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by an even louder impact.

A mayfly trying to shake a tree.

The word that Gu Yuan had once told her immediately flashed through Millie Alde's mind.

At this moment, there is no more fitting description.
