Chapter 1453: Departure in 1453
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the family bid farewell and left.
Nangong Changliu and Nangong Xingyun, grandfather and grandson, each took out a Storage Bag.
Qi Hong did not stand on ceremony.
After seeing off the Tan Family and checking on his great-grandson, Nangong Changliu left.
Nangong Xingyun was going to deal with the three women. Now that he knew who was behind it all, keeping those three around was pointless.
In fact, he knew his grandfather had already figured this matter out, but had chosen not to say anything.
Nangong Xingyun understood that this was his grandfather not wanting him to pursue the matter. How was that possible? Nangong Liuyun, you’re not the only one who knows how to use dirty tricks. Just wait. When the time comes, I’ll make sure you don’t even have the chance to regret it.
After settling things, he assigned two Golden Core Guards to stay by the mother and daughter’s side, then went off to Cultivate.
He couldn’t slack off. For the sake of his son, he had to work hard.
After leaving Lin’an City, the family did not go to Future City again. Twenty days later, they were already nearing the territory of the Independent Practitioner Alliance.
Qi Yan and Qi Hong had never been to the Independent Practitioner Alliance, but their little brother had said that their mother killed the Divinity Transformation Cultivator here, so they did not plan to go to Bishui City.
However, they still had to pass through the Alliance’s territory.
Su Yuanyuan didn’t feel anything about it at all. She knew that even the other Divinity Transformation Cultivators of the Independent Practitioner Alliance had no idea how Bai Fengjiao died.
The Bai Family bore deep hatred toward her, but the Independent Practitioner Alliance absolutely wouldn’t get involved.
The arrival of Daojun Huai’en was the Xuantian Sect’s stance.
It was rare for the family to have such a chance to be together. Every day they sat on the Flying Boat chatting and drinking tea, and whenever they Cultivated they would share their doubts and insights.
Qi Yan and his son mainly discussed Swordsmanship.
Qi Hong, his mother, and his brother talked the most about Alchemy.
When Bai Xinghe learned that Su Yuanyuan’s family had actually come to the territory of the Independent Practitioner Alliance, his eyes practically went red.
He personally went to find Xingtian.
"What do you want to do? Send people to hunt down their whole family?
Their two sons are of ancestral seniority in the Medicine Sect and Sword Sect.
If I make a move, it’s equivalent to making enemies of the Three Great Sects.
The grudge from tens of thousands of years ago with the Xuantian Sect still hasn’t been resolved.
I know you’re heartbroken that the Old Ancestor is gone—do you think I’m not?
But what evidence is there! Xinghe. Even if we calm down and think it through, it’s impossible. Their cultivation is far too low. The Old Ancestor was a Mid-stage Divinity Transformation Cultivator."
"Even if they didn’t do it, if it weren’t because of them, the Old Ancestor wouldn’t have gone out in the first place."
Xingtian’s face sank. This was not knowing his place after being given face.
"If you make any moves and they grab hold of something against us, then there will be no Bai Family in the Independent Practitioner Alliance.
I’m not going to bring disaster down on the Alliance over a whim of yours."
Bai Xinghe backed out, but his expression was extremely ugly.
When the Bai Family’s Old Ancestor was still around, they ranked first within the Alliance. Now look. No one remembered the Old Ancestor’s contributions to the Independent Practitioner Alliance while he was alive.
He went back to the Bai Family and stayed alone in his study for a long time, but in the end he still did not send anyone out.
The Bai Family could not afford to lose the Independent Practitioner Alliance, or they would truly be nothing.
The family of four arrived at a treasure-hiding place known to True Monarch Jing Ling.
They were already near the seaside here.
"Mother, why didn’t True Monarch Jing Ling collect the treasures here? This is the cave abode where a Divinity Transformation Cultivator passed away in meditation."
"He wanted to come here to undergo Divinity Transformation."
The main reason Su Yuanyuan loathed the Great Elder so much was because that master and disciple had vile thoughts about her two sons.
Cultivators had excellent memories; it was impossible to forget even if one wanted to.
"Can an elder of a sect come outside to undergo Divinity Transformation? Isn’t that unsafe?"
"That’s what he was thinking. Maybe there really was something here that could aid in Divinity Transformation."
The family of four landed on the small island. Nothing looked out of the ordinary. Even probing the seawater with Divine Sense revealed nothing special.
"This is the place."
Su Yuanyuan took out that mirror and spent about two hours before finally confirming the entrance.
"Mother, these are seeds of the Invisibility Grass. If we keep them on us, even if someone comes by, they won’t notice us."
Su Yuanyuan nodded and led the way in front. Tan Shaoting brought up the rear. Very soon, the whole family vanished from the small island.
The Array was Sixth Rank. Su Yuanyuan still couldn’t break it, but with the Array Map, they could completely avoid the dangers and enter inside.
The whole family was extremely cautious, mainly because they feared there really might be danger—after all, the entire family was here.
An hour later, they finally entered the interior, but they had only gone about one-third of the way.
The family stopped to rest. "Mother, with this Array Map, True Monarch Jing Ling must have thought no one could get in, right?"
"It truly is quite dangerous. Without the Array Map, you might get hurt just entering the gate."
After resting for about a quarter of an hour, the family moved on again, taking each step with great care.
Two hours later, Su Yuanyuan stopped. It was too mentally exhausting. Really—how many years had it been since she felt her head this tired?
Only after drinking some Spiritual Spring Water did she feel a bit more comfortable.
The father and sons also felt tired, mainly from having to maintain high concentration.
"Mother, all these winding paths are passageways, which means the real good stuff is down below?"
"Definitely. But I’ve never heard of this Divinity Transformation Cultivator before. He’s not in his memories either."
"Maybe even True Monarch Jing Ling never reached the end, so we should be extra careful."
Once they had rested enough, they set off again.
With all the walking and stopping, they estimated nearly two days had passed before, finally, there were no more passageways and they saw a large door down below.
Su Yuanyuan circled the area. Still uneasy, she used the mirror to scan it. Only after confirming there was no Array here did she relax.
Qi Yan stared at the big door. "Mother, I feel there’s danger inside."
Su Yuanyuan looked at her son. Qi Yan rarely said things like that.
In any case, it was better to rest and adjust first.
Two hours later, Su Yuanyuan still walked at the front.
She carefully checked the door several times and confirmed there was no Array on it.
Su Yuanyuan pushed the door open with Spiritual Power.
After another cautious check, there was still no Array, so she stepped inside.
Once inside, it was a spacious room. There was a man lying on the bed.
There were traces of someone having lived here. Su Yuanyuan used her sword to flip up the Jade Scroll, and the three—mother and sons—crowded around to read while Tan Shaoting kept watch.
"Mother, is this his life story?"
"It should be. But he wants someone to send him across the sea back home. I don’t think that’s very likely," Qi Hong said.
Even though they knew there was no danger here, they still remained very cautious.
The Storage Ring was still on that Cultivator’s hand. Su Yuanyuan was puzzled as to why the Great Elder hadn’t taken the Storage Ring. That made no sense.
Just then, a jade-green ball of light suddenly shot toward Tan Shaoting.
Qi Yan moved extremely fast; his Thunder Control Skill had already arrived.
The Divine Soul let out a shrill scream after being struck by the Thunder Control Skill, but it still flew straight toward Tan Shaoting.
