Desperate Measures

Watching the two tightly embracing in the street, Zhou Lian, a senior disciple of Flowing Cloud Peak, had mixed feelings. Everyone had believed that Shi Feiyu had met his end in the Sea of No Lives. Little did they know he had not only survived but also advanced in his cultivation.

What was even more astonishing was that Mengyu seemed to have an inexplicable connection, rushing out as soon as Shi Feiyu appeared near the courtyard. Now, as he watched them embrace, Zhou Lian felt a mix of joy and sorrow.

He was delighted that Shi Feiyu had not disappointed them and returned alive. Yet, he couldn't help but feel sad when he saw Mengyu's frail figure.

"All of this is thanks to you," Zhou Lian wiped away his tears with his hand and suddenly saw Kucci, who was perched on Shen Ziyi's shoulder. He raised his fist and struck Kucci's face fiercely.

This time, Zhou Lian clearly held nothing back. His fist landed with a loud thud on Kucci's face, sending him flying from Shen Ziyi's shoulder.
