Dragon Burial Valley.
Demoness Ji had been standing at the edge of the cliff for a long time with a slight frown. The cold wind ruffled her skirt and she was filled with worries.
Just as she was about to give up and leave, a figure appeared not far away.
It was getting closer.
That green robes were so familiar.
Demoness Ji heaved a sigh of relief.
After 20 years, Su Zimo did not seem to be any different from before. The only difference was that he had a unique aura that was indescribable.
Demoness Ji's heart skipped a beat and she used her Spirit Peering Art to check out Su Zimo's dantian.
Immediately after, a look of pity flashed through her eyes.
"Sigh, how can a shattered dantian recover? I was thinking too much."
Demoness Ji sighed internally.
Through her check, Su Zimo's dantian was like a pool of stagnant water without any spirit energy.
In reality, Su Zimo's dantian was indeed different from before after this tribulation.
The Jin Dan shattered and formed a black hole-like existence.
The Saraca Flower was hidden within that black hole!
As long as Su Zimo did not use spirit energy, other cultivators would not be able to detect it and would only be able to check out an empty dantian.
If they knew nothing about him in the past, he would be nothing more than an ordinary mortal in the eyes of others.
"Zimo, have you been well all these years?"
It was rare for Demoness Ji to not joke around. Instead, she was a little sentimental with a hint of heartache and pity in her eyes.
Twenty years ago, this person in front of him was so dazzling!
Even some cultivators in Tianhuang Mainland had heard of him, let alone the North Region.
But now, most people in the North Region had probably forgotten about him, let alone Tianhuang Mainland.
Su Zimo replied calmly, "I'm fine."
"I know where Mr. Su is. I'll take you there."
Su Hong did not have much lifespan left and the earlier they met, the better. Demoness Ji knew what Su Zimo was thinking and led the way without hesitation.
Su Zimo followed closely behind.
The two of them sped through the Great Qian Ruins.
Arriving at the depths of the Imperial Palace, Su Zimo paused as he looked at the bloodstained ruins beneath his feet.
Twenty years ago, when the Vermilion Fruit was born, the geniuses of the North Region gathered.
It was unknown how many geniuses had died in that battle.
That fire burned through half the sky!
The temperature of the golden magma was extremely high, burning the ground until it was riddled with holes. The underground palace had long collapsed, burying the underground cavern.
The mysterious golden volcano was also buried deep underground.
No matter what secrets there were, it was likely that no one would know.
After a slight pause, Su Zimo caught up to Demoness Ji once more and suddenly asked, "Is Yaoxue in trouble?"
Su Hong was in a critical condition. If Ji Yaoxue knew about this, she would definitely come to inform them.
Unless she was in trouble and couldn't leave!
"Yes."
Demoness Ji nodded. "Over the years, there have been frequent wars in the North Region with the rise of feudal lords. The other three dynasties are eyeing us covetously and the Great Zhou royal court is also in turmoil with internal and external troubles."
"Two years ago, the Xia, Shang and You dynasties joined forces and formed an alliance army to invade the borders of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They wanted to destroy the Great Zhou Dynasty completely and divide its territory."
Su Zimo asked in a seemingly casual manner, "What are the cultivators of the dynasties fighting?"
"Most of the armies are formed by Foundation Establishment and Jin Dan cultivators. Of course, there are also Genying Zhenjun cultivators accompanying the armies. Void Reversions won't appear on the frontlines yet. Void Reversions will only appear for the final battle if the alliance army reaches the capital and is on the verge of collapsing! "Demoness Ji replied.
Su Zimo hummed in acknowledgment.
Demoness Ji continued, "My sister led the army personally to defend against external enemies and has been outside for close to two years without returning. She doesn't know about Mr. Su's situation at all."
Su Zimo frowned.
Demoness Ji added hurriedly, "However, don't worry. My sister is fine and Auntie Gu has been by her side the entire time."
Su Zimo remained silent.
Through Demoness Ji's words, he could already guess that Ji Yaoxue was in a terrible situation!
Even if her life was not in danger, she would be in trouble.
Since the three dynasties had joined forces, they were bent on obtaining the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
With the alliance army bearing down on the borders, even with the advantage of terrain, it would be difficult for the Great Zhou Dynasty to defend against the alliance army with its foundation alone!
The fact that Ji Yaoxue had not returned for two years was proof of how terrible the situation was!
Furthermore, anything could happen on the battlefield in the blink of an eye.
Even with the chief steward of Sky Treasure Pavilion, Gu Xi, by her side, Ji Yaoxue might not be absolutely safe.
…
The two of them traveled day and night without stopping.
A few days later, they arrived in the capital of Great Zhou.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Su Zimo sat in Demoness Ji's carriage and drove into the palace. After making many turns, they headed towards a secret place in the palace!
Before long, Demoness Ji brought Su Zimo to a house and said softly, "I'll be outside and won't be entering. Call for me if there's anything."
Su Zimo nodded.
Standing quietly in front of the door, Su Zimo did not dare to push it open.
In fact, he had already reached out and touched the door but did not dare to push it open!
Su Zimo knew that his elder brother, Su Hong, was inside.
He could already sense the aura of twilight coming from the house!
The more that was the case, the more he did not dare to push open the door!
"Zimo, is that you?"
Right then, a voice sounded from within the house.
It was a little weak and hoarse.
Instantly, countless images flashed through Su Zimo's mind.
"Zimo, you're not allowed to learn martial arts. Go back and study!"
"This horse is called Zhui Feng. It's rather sentient and has an affinity with you. It's yours from now on."
"Zimo, as long as you can become an elementary scholar this time round, I'll reward you with a mansion …"
This voice was no longer as steady and powerful as before, and it was full of energy.
However, it awakened many of Su Zimo's memories.
Instantly, Su Zimo felt a lump in his throat and pushed open the door. "Elder brother, it's me!"
Although he was mentally prepared, Su Zimo's heart still skipped a beat the moment he caught sight of Su Hong.
His elder brother was old.
Time was like a merciless carving knife, leaving scars on Su Hong's face!
If he had not witnessed it personally, Su Zimo would not have been able to imagine that this old man with one foot in the grave had once led the black armored cavalry on the battlefield and dominated the world with a cold iron Showering Spring Spear in his hands.
How high-spirited was that?!
A few decades had passed.
Su Hong, who was in his sixties, looked like a hundred year old man.
His hair was white and his eyes were cloudy.
However, his gaze towards Su Zimo was still kind and comforting.
Su Zimo strode forward and knelt in front of Su Hong's bed, gripping the latter's wrist gently.
Su Zimo's hand trembled!
He could clearly sense that Su Hong's vitality was draining bit by bit and his organs were starting to fail!
Su Hong's lifespan was almost up and he did not have much time left. Even an immortal would not be able to save him!
"I'm late."
Su Zimo lowered his head and his voice trembled.
"You're not late, you're not late."
Su Hong patted Su Zimo's palm gently and consoled him. "I don't have any regrets now that I see that you're fine before I leave."
"Hais."
Immediately after, Su Hong sighed softly. "It's a pity that I didn't get to see Xiaoning. I wonder how she's doing and if she's been wronged."
"You know that she has a soft personality. What if someone bullies her without us by her side?"
