The Snowstorm Island Quake

"BOOM!!!"

A terrifying blade light tore through the sky above Snowstorm Island, accompanied by a deafening explosion. Its dreadful might shook the entire island, causing the heavens and earth to change color!

Countless cultivators on the island were startled awake, looking up at the horrifying blade light with faces full of shock.

Whether ordinary disciples or high-ranking island officials, they all took to the air in the blink of an eye, gazing upwards. A tense atmosphere spread across the island, with countless divine senses probing the sky!

Under the gaze of all.

The sky actually shattered, and countless streams of light began pouring out!

In the outer sect area dense with immortal isles, ordinary disciples stood dumbfounded, looking up. Their faces showed extreme terror, as if witnessing the apocalypse, completely unaware of the truth.

In the lofty Heavenly Hall.

The island's higher-ups saw this scene and instantly formed conjectures. Beings of countless powerful auras gathered in the main hall, murmuring in shock and doubt.

"What on earth happened? Why is there suddenly the phenomenon of shattered void?"

"The Demon Suppression Prison... has been breached!"

"How is that possible!?"

"The void is shattered, demonic creatures are escaping—it must be the Demon Suppression Prison being breached!"

"Disaster, this is a disaster!"

Before the main hall entrance, the various higher-ups were filled with horror.

The breach of the Demon Suppression Prison would inevitably trigger a great catastrophe. Complex expressions of all kinds spread among them. The various Reverends who rushed over upon hearing the news wore faces of utmost gravity.

Especially Yuwen Qianyue, standing in the back of the crowd.

This usually aloof and proud Heaven's Pride Reverend, now witnessing the scattering streams of light with her own eyes and hearing of the prison's breach, even her jade-like fingers hidden in her sleeves clenched tightly in shock!

Staring uncertainly at the streams of light in the sky, her expression grew increasingly gloomy!

To think...

this supposedly impregnable Demon Suppression Prison could actually be broken open. Who knew what kind of terrifying existence possessed such means!

This has ruined everything!

What if...

that mortal-star cultivator managed to escape by chance, and the ugly affair of her framing him came to light?

What would she do then?!

The moment this thought surfaced, Yuwen Qianyue's eyes revealed panic. The look of a guilty conscience was unmistakable.

Her eyes fixed dead on the sky, her heart continuously praying.

Impossible...

That man was just a mortal-star cultivator. Even if his talent was remarkable, the Demon Suppression Prison is filled with countless horrors. He absolutely could not have survived until now!

Her silent murmuring lasted only a few breaths before someone beside her suddenly cried out in shock!

"Everyone! Several auras have stopped in mid-air!"

"Could it be vengeful demonic clansmen, coming to seek revenge on our Snowstorm Island?!"

Instantly!

The atmosphere before the Heavenly Hall became intensely tense. Everyone stared fixedly at the sky.

When Yuwen Qianyue clearly saw the figures that had emerged, her gaze was immediately captured by the handsome, youthful face of one. Her pupils even began to tremble!

The young man surrounded in the center was none other than the mortal-star cultivator, Yi Feng!

This person had actually survived within the Demon Suppression Prison. His luck was truly heaven-defying!

"This!"

Witnessing Yi Feng's chance escape, Yuwen Qianyue gasped in shock.

Even though she immediately realized her loss of composure, it was somewhat too late. Several middle-aged men looked at her with suspicion, their faces thoughtful.

Before they could ponder further,

suddenly someone else cried out in shock, even more exaggeratedly than Yuwen Qianyue!

"That... that person holding the cane, could it be Elder Guo?"

"It really is Elder Guo?!"

"This... this can't be!"

"After tens of thousands of years, Elder Guo is still alive?!"

"I absolutely cannot be mistaken. Although that person looks much more aged, as if his vitality has greatly receded, his aura and facial features are undoubtedly Elder Guo's!"

The exclamations of doubt were piercing, drawing the attention of everyone at the hall entrance.

Seeing that those speaking were high-ranking island officials, it caused many Reverends to clasp their fists in astonishment.

"Esteemed ones, the Elder Guo you speak of, could it be..."

Before the question was finished, the leader solemnly nodded.

"Correct."

"It is precisely the founder of our Snowstorm Island, the once peerless Sword Venerable who shook the world tens of thousands of years ago—Guo Jiannan!"

These words caused everyone's faces to turn pale!

"Hiss!"

"Elder Guo has reappeared in the world!"

Within moments, the expressions of the higher-ups at the entrance changed repeatedly. Some even muttered in loss of composure, utterly stunned by today's sight!

"Elder Guo has returned to Snowstorm Island!"

"The heavens are about to change!"

The legendary founder of Snowstorm Island, emerging after breaking open the Demon Suppression Prison—this news was far too shocking. It also seemed to reveal many hidden details and doubts, startling many into wide-eyed stares!

Yuwen Qianyue's heart trembled even more.

Looking back towards the sky, her face had turned somewhat pale.

In her line of sight,

the figures in mid-air were actually bowing to each other. Yi Feng, surrounded in the center, seemed quite well-regarded. He could actually chat and smile with Elder Guo, as if he had found a powerful backer...

Damn it!

This mortal-star cultivator not only escaped the Demon Suppression Prison but also became acquainted with Elder Guo!

His luck is truly heaven-defying!

After a few moments of jealous, cold staring, Yuwen Qianyue's expression grew increasingly ugly.

This wretched brat, having turned misfortune into fortune, would surely rely on Elder Guo's prestige for revenge. She was merely a Reverend—how could she compare to the peerless Sword Venerable who founded Snowstorm Island?

What should she do?!

After several tense, stealthy glances, Yuwen Qianyue was so startled her palms turned cold. She quietly retreated from the crowd. The other higher-ups present also looked up, standing stiffly with varied expressions, complex lights flickering in most of their eyes.

In the sky where streams of light scattered,

the air was clear, the sun shone brightly.

Guo Jiannan and the others laughed heartily, their faces filled with the joy of seeing the sky again.

"We really broke out..."

"The Demon Suppression Prison is breached. We have finally regained our freedom!"

"Hahaha!"

Looking down at the scenery of Snowstorm Island, the group felt many emotions. They successively bowed towards Yi Feng, filled with reverence for this senior brother's terrifying cultivation!

"Brother Yi! Today we have truly broadened our horizons. To have witnessed Brother Yi's peerless blade strike, we have no regrets in this life!"

"Brother Yi helped us escape. We will remember this kindness for life!"

"No words can thank you enough for this great favor. If Brother Yi ever has any need in the future, we old bones would dare death ten thousand times without refusing!"

Seeing his sworn brothers being so polite, Yi Feng also smiled and returned a clasped-fist salute.

"No need to be so formal. Since we address each other as brothers, this was just a small effort, not worth mentioning."

His sworn brothers' faces were already full of wrinkles, bearing a sense of aged weariness. Now that they had seen the sky again, they probably had few friends or family left, which was truly lamentable.

Having met by fate, Yi Feng asked out of concern.

"Everyone, what are your plans from now on? Do you have a place to go?"

Guo Jiannan and the others exchanged glances upon hearing this, their smiles fading as they responded.

"Brother Yi, our escape from the Demon Suppression Prison is immense fortune, all thanks to your help. Now that we have regained freedom, this old man must certainly settle accounts with the villain who harmed me back then!"

The others also echoed with clasped fists, their expressions serious.

"Correct. A gentleman must seek repayment for grievances. It is time to settle old scores!"

"In just a few days, once I recover my cultivation, I too will return to conclude my vendetta!"

"Brother Yi, take care. We shall each depart now. Once we recover our cultivation and achieve vengeance, we shall gather again for a hearty drink!"

Hearing this, Yi Feng nodded reassuringly.

"Good. That is as it should be."

The fact that these sworn brothers had the spirit for revenge meant he need not worry too much about them. They weren't at death's door yet and should manage quite well in the future.

'A gentleman must seek repayment for grievances'—those words were very right!

Now that I'm out, I must also settle the score with that vicious aunt from back then. I'll question that poisonous woman properly, asking her why she deceived me into entering the Demon-Suppressing Prison!

At the moment of parting, Yi Feng turned to his sworn brothers and offered his instructions.

"Brothers, we part ways here."

"If you encounter any difficulties, send word to me. As long as it is within my power, I will surely come to your aid."

The men repeatedly expressed their gratitude, the respect in their eyes growing even deeper.

After each leaving behind a jade slip with their spiritual sense imprinted, they bid farewell once more before scattering in all directions.

Watching his brothers transform into streaks of light and disperse, Yi Feng also felt at ease and withdrew his gaze. He then sped off towards his former residence, the "Sunset Glow Heavenly Manor."
