Condemning the Heavens Chapter 493

Chapter 493: 493
Xue Wei slept for a day, just as Lan had expected, and when he woke up, he felt as if his body, which had been on the verge of breaking down, was full of energy .
His face was ruddy, and his mind was clear . He was clearly much better off now than when he had collapsed, and he instantly knew that the one behind his fast healing was Lan .
As for how long he had been unconscious, he was unsure, but he guessed that it could not have been too long .
What greeted his eyes was the familiar sight of the cave where they had rested before . When he slowly stood up, he found that his friends and companions were also slowly adjusting themselves, preparing for a battle that would include rivers of blood and carnage .
Xue Wei stretched his body, and his movements woke the others up from their rest . The group was finally relieved after seeing him wake up, and when they saw his healthy expression, and the slight smirk on his face, they all felt relieved .
Although they did not doubt Lan's abilities, they did not know for sure when he would wake up, and it had left them slightly worried .
However, seeing him awake, and noticing the familiar glint in his eyes, they all put down all their worries and felt relieved .
The group gathered together; all of them had a Luan bird on their shoulders, and a knowing smile spread on their lips .
Lan was standing back, and he too felt a strange bubbling excitement grow within him . This was it; this was the chance he had been waiting for .
If they could open the Ghost Realm this time, then the ten thousand years of waiting would genuinely be worth it!
He had done what he had promised, he had protected the world that mattered to her, but he had never forgotten the love that he felt for her, and he missed her dearly all these years .
Now that there was a possibility of things changing, he felt a strange sense of excitement and nervousness .
What had happened to her in the Ghost Realm? Lan did not know how the Ghost Realm worked . Did they retain their memories, or did they lose them? Would his Zhiqing be able to remember him, and their time together, or would she have lost all memory of it?
He, who was amongst the strongest beings in the universe, was frightened beyond belief whenever he thought of the fact that she might not remember him .
But even if she did not remember him, he would help her restore those memories, and build new ones alongside her .
What he loved about her was her personality . It was not only her appearance, and while he would be sad if she had forgotten him, he would not be devastated .
He would stay by her side, protect her, and love her . But his worst fear was if she rejected him; then, he did not know what to do .
While Lan was deep in his own conflicting thoughts, Xue Wei and the others were getting ready to set out . Seeing that they were preparing to leave, Lan let go of his thoughts . What would happen would happen, and he could not change it .
Coming to this conclusion, it was as if a big stone had been lifted from his shoulders, and a breezy smile sprung upon his lips .
Lan had wanted to be the one to kill the people in the base if that meant that the Ghost Realm would open . However, he had previously tried this approach, and while the Ghost Realm opened, he had no possibility of entering it .
This was because he was not the Rule Breaker . To enter, the Rule Breaker had to be the one who killed the people, so Lan was relieved that Xue Wei was so powerful .
They also needed to kill the people at a rapid pace, which was why he had wanted the King Ranked dealt with before they moved on to the base .
The base was now only comprised of Saints and lower-ranked experts, and they stood no chance against Xue Wei . As long as his stamina lasted, he would be an unstoppable death god who came to reap lives .
The group stepped out of the cave and made their way towards the base . They did not hide their tracks or slow down; no experts had entered the forest as the King ranked leader had told them to leave the hunt to him .
When they exited the forest, they found the base was in lockdown, but it was not difficult to break it open . While Lan was unable to be the one who killed the people, he was still capable of helping them deal with the massive walls .
All he did was to glance at the walls, and they came crumbling down . The soldiers who had been standing on top were suddenly thrown into disarray, and the ones within the base became alerted to the approaching danger .
Lan waved his hand, and a big translucent dome covered the whole base . No one would be able to flee; the only fate that awaited them was death .
While most of the soldiers had decided to fight, a small group had indeed thought of fleeing . Not because they were afraid of Xue Wei and the others, but because they feared Lan .
Everyone could sense Xue Wei and his companions, but Lan was only visible when one looked at him . This gave them all a sense of dread; no one doubted his strength .
Scared, they all felt their hearts tremble, but some of them were loyal soldiers . They would rather die fighting than submit, and a group of them charged straight at Xue Wei with their weapons raised high .
