Chapter 965 — Regaining His Vision

Chapter 965 - Regaining His Vision

As they made their way towards the Zheng Family, White Lotus couldn't help but stare at Yuan's handsome face and beautiful crimson eyes that resembled jewels.

"Yuan… Your eyes… What happened?" She couldn't resist her urge to ask him.

"I'm not really sure. After seeing Meixiu getting hurt from the assault, I felt something being 'released' within me, and before I knew it, I regained my vision."

"Huh? So you're no longer blind?" White Lotus muttered in a dumbfounded voice.

"For now. Who knows how long this would last. Maybe I'll return to being blind after a few hours."

Yuan turned to look at White Lotus' beautiful face and pale complexion.

"Even though I can see the world clearer and in more details with divine sense, there is just something unique about viewing the world with my eyes." He said with a smile.

"It's unfortunate that I had regained my vision during this time when I am unable to enjoy it." His smile quickly turned bitter.

White Lotus suddenly lowered her head and tightened her hold around his neck.

"My life flashed before my eyes earlier today. I have never had such a close near-death experience before— not even in Cultivation Online."

"Honestly, I've been in worse situations. However, I have never felt scared in those situations. It was different today. I was terrified, but not for myself. I was scared that I would lose one of you, and it was a close call. The bullet that grazed Meixiu could've killed any of us. Fortunately, that did not happen."

"You really care about Meixiu and Chu Liuxiang. I'm envious." White Lotus suddenly sighed.

"I care about you too, you know?" He said, taking her by surprise.

"Really? Even though we've just met each other?"

"Of course." He nodded.

"Thank you…" White Lotus mumbled as she lowered her head even more to prevent Yuan from seeing the expression on her face.

About half an hour later, White Lotus pointed at the large mansion located at the horizon and said, "Over there. That's our destination."

Yuan nodded and flew directly towards the mansion.

Once they landed near the mansion, Yuan stepped in front of White Lotus and said, "Stay behind me no matter what."

"Okay." She nodded.

Yuan summoned both Empyrean Overlord and Starry Abyss before approaching the mansion.

There were guards pacing around the mansion, and all of them were carrying fully loaded assault rifles.

"Are they usually this tight with security? Not even banks are this heavily guarded." Yuan asked her.

"No, this isn't normal." White Lotus shook her head.

"Then they must be really afraid of something." Yuan smiled.

"Follow me."

He walked out of the shadows with White Lotus behind him.

"HALT!"

The guards there immediately noticed him and pointed their guns at his direction without any hesitation.

"Identify yourself! What are you doing here?!"

"Let me handle this." White Lotus said.

"I'm Bai Lianhua! We're here to speak with Zheng Weimin!"

The guards recognized her name and face.

"Zheng Weimin is not here!" One of the guards said.

"You're lying." Yuan said, as he could sense Zheng Weimin's presence within the mansion.

"I will give you two choices. Get Zheng Weimin out here for me, or I will go inside to meet him myself."

"And I will give you one choice. Get lost before we fill your body with bullet holes!"

Yuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

The next moment, one of the guards suddenly screamed in pain, startling the others.

When they turned to look at him, they saw that his hands had suddenly been severed by something sharp.

"W-What happened?!"

However, before they could even make sense of what was happening, the invisible Starry Abyss honed in on its next target.

Whoosh!

"AAAAH! My hands!" Another guard had his hand severed.

Then another.

And another.

In less than a minute, Yuan had disarmed all of the guards there by severing their hands with the Starry Abyss.

White Lotus swallowed nervously after seeing the brutal scenery. The guards were all screaming in pain as blood gushed from their grievous wounds.

"Let's go." Yuan said with a nonchalant face as he started walking towards the entrance.

After smashing the doors with a single kick, Yuan entered the building with White Lotus.

However, the moment they took a step inside the building, the guards that had been waiting inside ambushed them, shooting their guns without hesitation.

Hundreds of bullets flew at Yuan every second, resembling the situation earlier this afternoon but with more noise and chaos, as there were more people shooting their guns at him.

However, there was one more difference.

Yuan was prepared for the attack this time.

While he used Qi Manifestation to create a wall around him and White Lotus, he also controlled the Starry Abyss to take down the shooters one at a time.

Since the shooters were spread out and most of them were focused on shooting Yuan, they failed to notice what was happening until it was too late and everyone there had their hands and arms severed.

'He's not killing them… Is he saving it for Zheng Weimin?' White Lotus noticed this and wondered to herself.

"Are you okay?" Yuan turned around and asked her in a calm voice.

"Y-Yes." She nodded in a dazed manner.

"Good, then let's continue."

Yuan proceeded to follow Zheng Weimin's presence in the mansion.

They would encounter guards at every turn, but Yuan easily took care of them.

Meanwhile, inside Zheng Weimin's room.

"What the fuck is going on out there?!" Zheng Weimin asked the guards in his room.

"We have intruders. Two of them. A man and a woman." The guard said.

"It's just two intruders! There are hundreds of you, all equipped with heavy firearms! Why the fuck am I still hearing gunshots after so long?! Are they all shooting at the sky or something?!" Zheng Weimin cried out loud.

"I-I don't know… Even I am puzzled…" The guard shook his head.

"Fuck! You're all so fucking useless!" Zheng Weimin gritted his teeth in frustration.
