On this day, Bai Xiaofan finally breathed a long sigh of relief and withdrew his finger from Murong Yue's Primordial Spirit forehead.

As Bai Xiaofan concluded his work, Murong Yue also slowly opened her eyes.

"How do you feel?"

Bai Xiaofan asked softly, with a hint of fatigue in his voice.

There was no helping it; even for him, such prolonged expenditure of vitality and immortal energy felt taxing on his body.

However, for Bai Xiaofan, it wasn't without some benefit.

After depleting nearly half of his vitality, Bai Xiaofan sensed that his inner cultivation seemed on the verge of a breakthrough, likely related to the extensive consumption of immortal energy over the past month and a half.

"Xiaofan, I feel like my Primordial Spirit is even stronger than before!"

Murong Yue sensed her internal condition and happily spoke to Bai Xiaofan.

"Quickly, go and merge with your body. I need to give my little Yueyue a good hug!"

Bai Xiaofan didn't say much more but pointed to Murong Yue's body on the cold jade snow lotus.

He had expended so much vitality and immortal energy, and Murong Yue's Primordial Spirit had become even stronger than before, which was indisputable.

Upon hearing Bai Xiaofan's words, Murong Yue's Primordial Spirit drifted towards her body and slowly merged with it.

Moments later, Murong Yue finally fully awoke.

Seeing her long-lost body, Murong Yue couldn't contain her joy, happily running to Bai Xiaofan's side and kissing him without a word.

This kiss came after almost a year...

But nevertheless, the two were still very immersed in the moment!

After a brief moment of intimacy, Bai Xiaofan took Murong Yue and left the boundary stone space.

When the two walked out of the room and appeared in front of everyone, Murong Wan and Su Shiqi, among others, were momentarily stunned once more!

For nearly a year, whether Murong Wan, Su Shiqi, or Chen Xiner, they all deliberately avoided mentioning anything related to Murong Yue.

They knew, compared to them, Bai Xiaofan was the one who truly felt the most pain.

So, no matter what happened, no one dared to mention it, pretending as if they had forgotten about this person.

But how could she be easily forgotten?

Upon seeing Bai Xiaofan appear with Murong Yue, everyone was momentarily stunned, then all cheered enthusiastically.

In the next instant, Murong Yue was surrounded by several people asking about her well-being, while Bai Xiaofan on the other side was abandoned!

Bai Xiaofan was also speechless, finding it very realistic...

In the evening, Bai Xiaofan called over Zhan Xing and Bai Hu along with others, and everyone gathered to drink heartily.

After drinking into the late night, Bai Xiaofan assigned Bai Hu a task to deliver a challenge to Sima Zhan, who had arrived in Nanjing City.

Three days later, at the redwood forest in the western suburbs, Bai Xiaofan would meet them!

After hearing this news, not only Bai Hu and Zhan Xing, but even Xiao Mei and Lu Aoxue had been waiting for a long time.

However, due to Bai Xiaofan's absence, no one knew when to make a move, or more likely, lacked confidence in their own abilities.

Regardless, the other side was the Sima family, one of the hidden families, whose strength and foundation were absolutely not to be underestimated.

Subsequently, Bai Xiaofan instructed Xiao Lang to send some people to keep a close eye on Sima Xin and his group.

Intuition told Bai Xiaofan that from those three people, he could also gain information related to the Sima family.

With Bai Xiaofan's return, everything in Nanjing City seemed to be slowly returning to its normal track, with the businesses originally taken by Sima Zhan and others gradually being reclaimed.

Under Bai Xiaofan's orders, Night Rose and Bai Hu joined forces to begin a large-scale cleanup of the underground forces in Nanjing City.

During this time, due to Bai Xiaofan's absence and the Sima family's sudden intervention, many forces were starting to act.

After all, such a big cake as Nanjing City couldn't be left uneaten forever.

Previously, with Bai Xiaofan around, many surrounding forces, intimidated by his martial prowess, dared not act too overtly even if they wanted a piece of this cake.

Now, with the Sima family secretly supporting them, things were naturally different.

In the Sheng Tian Hotel, Sima Zhan looked at the challenge letter sent by his subordinates, his expression flickering between light and dark.

"Three days, huh? It seems this Bai Xiaofan has returned, but where does he get the confidence?"

Qi Lao Er also saw the contents of the challenge letter. Compared to the conflicted expression of Sima Zhan, he seemed better, but still furrowed his brows as if unable to make sense of many things.

"Second Master Qi, do you know when your brother will come out of seclusion? You said last time that it would be soon, but it's been some time now!"

Sima Zhan turned his gaze to Qi Lao Er. Although his tone sounded like a question, his words carried a hint of accusation.

Hearing the tone of Sima Zhan, Qi Lao Er slightly raised an eyebrow, looking displeased as he cast a sidelong glance at Sima Zhan.

"What do you mean by that? Are you questioning us brothers? Do you think coming out of seclusion can just happen whenever one wants? Moreover, my brother's seclusion this time is to break through to the legendary Mahayana Realm, do you think that's easy?"

Compared to Sima Zhan's probing tone, Qi Lao Er's voice was very direct, leaving no face for the other party at all.

He even stopped the polite address of calling the other party Sima Third Master, simply referring to him as 'you' now!

"No, no, absolutely not. I just feel that with their confident demeanor this time, Bai Xiaofan might have returned from the immortal ruins and probably encountered some fortuitous encounters there. I'm worried about our capabilities since I only brought a few experts at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage with me!"

Seeing Qi Lao Er seemed angry, Sima Zhan quickly waved his hand, indicating he had no such intention and was merely concerned.

However, in his heart, Sima Zhan had already cursed Qi Lao Er viciously.

Damn it, what's with the pretension?

If the family's recent experts hadn't all had more important matters to attend to, leaving no extra energy to deal with Bai Xiaofan and his group, would it have anything to do with you at all?

"Hmph, no need to worry about that. Even if my brother can't come out of seclusion in three days, I'll personally meet this Bai Xiaofan. Go ahead and arrange the personnel now. Three days later, I want the redwood forest in the western suburbs to be Bai Xiaofan's burial ground!"

Upon hearing Sima Zhan's words, Qi Lao Er snorted coldly, waving his hand as he ordered the other party to proceed with preparations!
