Abyss Sequence-Chapter 492 - 67: Return

Inside Yan Luo's villa, Wang Lingyu was waiting anxiously.

She was pacing back and forth in the living room, occasionally sitting down, but soon getting up again to relieve her inner anxiety with movement.

Wang Lingyu had been like this since a few hours ago.

Ever since she learned that Yan Luo had gone alone to Celestial City to challenge Roger Wilson, Wang Lingyu had been restless.

She knew who Roger Wilson was, a strong man who had become a Saint decades ago, far more powerful than Yan Luo, who had just reached Sequence One not long ago. He might even have surpassed that level.

In such a situation, wasn't Yan Luo going alone to challenge Roger Wilson just seeking death?

Especially after seeing the news from Celestial City a few minutes ago, knowing that Yan Luo and Roger's battle had already begun, Wang Lingyu felt even more stifled and couldn't sit still.

Beside her, Sasa wasn't as restless as Wang Lingyu; she kept an eye on the news from Celestial City.

Even though Yan Luo and Roger had taken their battle out of Celestial City and into outer space minutes ago, Celestial City was still the nearest human settlement to their battlefield, occasionally able to report some battle developments.

No one knew the true identities of the two fighting in outer space. Roger Wilson had hidden his identity for a long time, and Yan Luo had evaded all cameras and surveillance to challenge Roger.

Therefore, both in Celestial City and on the surface, people who happened to hear about the two strong-men fighting in outer space were discussing the matter.

Many couldn't believe that humans had grown so powerful that they could battle in outer space.

Everyone was speculating about the true identities of the fighters, and quite a few in the United Government were incredibly shocked.

The combat power displayed by those two fighting in outer space far exceeded their imaginings of 'strong.' They couldn't help but wonder what the scene would be like if either launched an attack on the surface.

Just the thought of it sent chills down their spines.

Only a few, like Wang Lingyu, knew that the two fighting were Yan Luo and Roger Wilson.

After that news report came out, Wu Zechuan contacted Wang Lingyu and the others, learning the true identities of the fighters from them. Only after confirming that one party was Yan Luo did he relax.

Suddenly having an unknown powerful figure appear on Blue Star is terrifying and would make many people afraid, even Wu Zechuan couldn't avoid it.

Knowing that Yan Luo was one of those fighting in outer space, Wu Zechuan couldn't help but worry, but he knew that worrying wouldn't help, so he didn't waste time on it.

—He needed to prepare for the aftermath of Yan Luo's potential defeat.

No matter the time, having a backup plan is never wrong.

That battle in outer space lasted only a dozen minutes, and it should be over by now.

The people of Celestial City could observe no more battle movements, and before that, the last thing they saw was a sudden burst of intense light in space, with no further movements afterwards.

Who won?

Even the residents of Celestial City didn't know who won or lost, because whenever they observed the two fighting, their electronic observation tools would get destroyed unless they used optical tools for observations.

But optical tools couldn't clearly see the two's true appearances; all they could discern from previous surveillance footage of their fight inside Celestial City was that both were tall, but as for appearance, it was completely unclear.

That's why Wang Lingyu was so restless and couldn't calm down.

Yan Luo's current life or death was unknown; how could she feel at ease?

Just then, Wang Lingyu and Sasa's terminals suddenly received an unknown message.

The message didn't show the sender's name, but after seeing the content, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

[Don't worry, I'm fine. I've already returned within the atmosphere, but my terminal is damaged. I couldn't communicate with you immediately.]

Yan Luo's terminal was damaged in battle, so only after entering the atmosphere could he use magnetic field power to send information to a ground signal tower, which then transmitted the message to Wang Lingyu and Sasa's terminals.

Wang Lingyu relaxed all at once, her legs went limp, and she collapsed onto the ground.

Then, she gritted her teeth, starting to plan how to punish Yan Luo when he returned.

He didn't say anything and just left them behind, going alone to fight Roger Wilson.

If she didn't properly punish him, that guy would definitely do the same thing next time.

When Wang Lingyu voiced her thoughts, Sasa didn't oppose her; rather, she very much agreed with Wang Lingyu's idea.

She didn't want to worry like this again!

Entering the atmosphere, Yan Luo didn't seek help from hackers to hide his presence; rather, he couldn't summon hacker's help now.

Unlike Wang Lingyu, Sasa, and others, who had known communication addresses, hackers changed theirs frequently, so without special contact numbers, Yan Luo couldn't reach them.

Moreover, the reason Yan Luo had them help conceal his presence was to not alert Roger of his actions.

Now that Roger Wilson was dead, Yan Luo had no reason to hide from monitoring satellites.

A monitoring satellite, observing every place on Blue Star's surface in real-time, spotted Yan Luo, and the system immediately reported the news. Meteorological bureau staff, seeing Yan Luo's figure, couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Why did Yan Luo appear to be falling from the sky?

Where had he been? Why was he falling from the sky...

Thinking of this, the meteorological bureau staff jumped up from their chair as if their butt was burned.

Who on Blue Star didn't know about the epic battle that occurred above the sky?

Even the least informed people, unless they isolated themselves and cut off internet, like Hunters in the Abyss, would surely have heard about the battle in outer space.

Everyone was speculating about the real identities of the fighters, and some mentioned Yan Luo's name.

After all, Yan Luo once defeated a Doomsday Level Master of the Abyss, a true powerhouse whose strength could be ranked first on Blue Star. Even Yulia Ivanovna Bilyukova had to settle for second, as she had no feats against Doomsday Level Masters.

There were few who could potentially be participants in that space battle on Blue Star, countable on one hand.

Now that Yan Luo returned from space, everything suggested he was one of that battle's participants.

The meteorological bureau staff submitted this news upwards, it quickly reached the ears of United Government committee members.

Knowing that Yan Luo could be one of the participants in the space battle, the United Government committee members relaxed slightly.

Yan Luo was an honest person who spoke straightforwardly; if they wanted to know about the battle in space, they could just ask Yan Luo, saving a lot of trouble.

But soon, they discovered another problem.

—It seemed they couldn't contact Yan Luo.

Neither the United Government committee members nor Min Jinglan from the Lingquan City Government could reach Yan Luo.

Fortunately, Min Jinglan had a quick mind. After realizing she couldn't reach Yan Luo, she contacted her daughter.

As Yan Luo's girlfriend, her daughter definitely knew something.

Wang Lingyu told her mother the truth, but at that moment, the villa's front door opened.

An exhausted Yan Luo walked in from outside.

"I'm back."

Wang Lingyu and Sasa immediately sprang from the sofa, rushing toward Yan Luo, throwing themselves into his embrace like fledglings returning to the nest.

Hearing the commotion from her daughter's side, Min Jinglan smiled, hung up the call, and informed the United Government of the news.

Wang Lingyu and Sasa clung tightly to Yan Luo's waist, leaving Yan Luo a bit at a loss.

Not long after, Wang Lingyu looked up, glaring at Yan Luo fiercely, "Why did you leave us behind?"

Sasa said nothing but also raised her head, pouting.

Yan Luo softly replied, "Because I was afraid I might listen to your persuasion and not go to fight Roger Wilson."

Hearing this answer, Wang Lingyu couldn't help but laugh, snuggling back into Yan Luo's arms.

"That's more like it..."
