Chapter 455: Chapter 455: Return to China (2nd Update)
 

Hearing this, An Yan’s complexion suddenly turned deathly pale.

“What happened? What’s wrong with Qing’er?”

Xue An took a deep breath, not answering directly, “Wake up our two daughters, we’re going back to the country now!”

“Alright!” An Yan immediately rushed into the house and a moment later came out holding two little girls who were still napping.

Wu Yu didn’t know what had happened but could tell from Xue An and An Yan’s expressions that it was something serious.

“Sir, do you need my help?” Wu Yu asked.

Xue An kicked the hotel’s glass window to pieces with one foot and said in a heavy tone, “No need!”

Having said that, he took his family and turned into streaks of light that shot up into the sky.

Wu Yu stared blankly as Xue An and the others disappeared into the sky.

This was the first time she had witnessed such means from Xue An, completely shattering the worldview she had built up over more than twenty years.

How could people possibly fly?

However, Xue An in mid-air at that moment was burning with anxiety.

Originally, for safety reasons, Xue An had placed multiple protective charms on An Qing and Tang Xuan’er, among others.

If any dangerous situation occurred, these charms would be activated, and Xue An would be alerted immediately.

Therefore, the moment something happened to An Qing, Xue An became instantly aware of it.

But he didn’t answer An Yan’s question because he could no longer feel An Qing’s presence.

In other words, An Qing might already be dead!

And it was the kind of death where not even the soul remained.

This made Xue An dare not tell An Yan directly for fear that she wouldn’t be able to handle it.

At the same time, towering rage began to surge in Xue An’s heart.

An Qing was the aunt of his children.

No matter who it was, since they dared to harm her, then even if I have to search to the ends of heaven and scrape through the Netherworld, I shall slaughter them!

Miao Immortal Valley.

The members of the Fire Phoenix had entered a state of frenzy.

Sun Ling, Zou Yi, and Zhou Daniu, among others, had bloodshot eyes and were about to storm into the Insect Immortal Cave to avenge An Qing.

Fortunately, Cheng Hao still retained a shred of sanity, although he wished more than anyone to tear these damned Insect Tribe to pieces.

But with An Qing’s life hanging by a thread, the most important thing was to rescue her first.

Therefore, he roared, “Shut up, all of you!”

After so much time in battle, Cheng Hao’s authority as the team captain was only second to that of the instructor and An Qing, so everyone fell silent, then they stared at An Qing lying on the emergency stretcher with red-rimmed eyes.

Zhang Chu squatted down to take her pulse, then raised his head with a grave expression and shook it gently at Cheng Hao.

“There’s almost no pulse. Aside from a faint breath, she’s no different from a dead person!”

This statement caused the members of Fire Phoenix to become restless.

Sun Ling and the others started to weep bitterly on the spot.

Zhou Daniu even slapped himself twice and then began to wail like an old bull.

“Inform the instructor!” Cheng Hao said with an ashen face.

His words caused the members of Fire Phoenix to be stunned for a moment, then their eyes gradually lit up.

Sun Ling jumped up, “Right! Inform the instructor! The instructor will surely have a way!”

Zou Yi, ignoring the tears on his face, started laughing loudly, “That’s right! Even if An Qing truly dies, the instructor can save her!”

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Daniu knocked him to the ground with a kick, “Nonsense, An Qing must not be dead!”

Zou Yi quickly slapped himself again and nodded repeatedly, “Right, An Qing must be fine!”

Cheng Hao flipped out An Qing’s cell phone; he remembered that Xue An had called An Qing on it a couple of days ago.

At An Qing’s level, her phone was specially encrypted, but it also had a backdoor, in case information needed to be retrieved through it after a possible sacrifice.

Soon, the phone was unlocked.

A phone number from the United States appeared prominently.

This must be it.

Cheng Hao’s hands trembled as he dialed the number.

He had prepared himself for the worst.

If An Qing was dead.

The instructor, in a furious rage, was capable of anything, and he could not even begin to fathom what might happen next.

But just think about those photos that circulated among the upper echelons of various countries.

The once-glorious Church of Light had been flattened, and in one night, half the population of the once-prominent City of Sin had perished.

All of these were the handiwork of the instructor.

Therefore, Cheng Hao felt that if the instructor was indeed enraged by this, he would commit suicide as an apology.

After all, An Yan had died while on a mission with him, and he bore an inescapable responsibility for it.

Inside a hotel room in Las Vegas, Wu Yu was lost in thought when Cai Lalan walked in.

“It’s all good now, that scumbag and those hoodlums have received their just punishment. I bet they wouldn’t dare to think about you for the rest of their lives!”

Cai Lalan said proudly, and then she noticed the completely shattered window.

“Huh, where’s Mr. Xue?”

Wu Yu said blankly, “He’s gone!”

“Gone? When did he leave?”

“He just flew away!”

“Flew away?”

“Mhm!” Wu Yu nodded, turning to Cai Lalan, “Lalan, do you believe that people can fly?”

Cai Lalan’s face became a canvas of emotions—a mix of shock, envy, and above all, awe.

She then let out a deep sigh, “I once thought that flight was merely a figment of our ancestors’ imagination, something not real!”

“But Mr. Xue’s arrival made me realize, anything that occurs to him is not too much! He’s like a true immortal, flying is just a trivial matter to him!”

Wu Yu was about to say something more when a cell phone ringtone interrupted her. She turned to see a vibrating phone on the sofa.

Was it Mr. Xue’s phone that was left behind?

A thought crossed Wu Yu’s mind, and she stepped forward, picked up the phone, and after a moment’s hesitation, she nervously answered.

“Hello! Instructor, something has happened to An Yan!” Cheng Hao’s voice came through.

Wu Yu gave a wry smile, “I’m sorry, are you looking for Mr. Xue? He has just left!”

“He left?” Cheng Hao felt a cold chill throughout his body, “Who are you, and where did the instructor go?”

“He said he had urgent matters to attend to and then took his family and… flew away!” Wu Yu said with difficulty.

Meanwhile, Cheng Hao on the other end of the line was utterly baffled.

An issue, and flew away?

What should they do now?

How to notify the instructor?

Just as Cheng Hao was feeling desperate, Zou Yi suddenly shouted, pointing at the distant sky.

“Captain, look!”

Cheng Hao looked up and saw a streak of light diving towards them with unstoppable momentum. Within a blink of an eye, it had arrived overhead, and after stopping in midair, it was Xue An and his family.

“It’s the instructor!”

All the members of Fire Phoenix were thrilled and shouted in joy.

Cheng Hao took a deep breath, hung up the phone, and went to greet them.

Before Wu Yu hung up, she also heard the shouting coming through.

She glanced at her watch.

It had only been eight minutes since Xue An had left.

Eight minutes.

In just eight minutes, he had crossed over ten thousand kilometers from M Country back to Hua Country.

Could it be… was he really an immortal?

Meanwhile, in Miao Immortal Valley.

Xue An touched down, his face grim as the deep waters.

The members of Fire Phoenix cleared a path for him, and Xue An walked straight to the stretcher.

Lying on it, An Qing looked pale with weak breathing.

But what was more alarming, under Xue An’s Divine Sense probe, An Qing’s soul was missing.

Lying on the stretcher, was nothing more than an empty shell!
