"Cher, don't cry, grandpa … grandpa, cough cough …"
The old man's voice was hoarse as he forced a smile. However, the smile only appeared for a few breaths before it was replaced by a violent cough.
Amidst the coughing, the corner of the old man's lips was already dripping with dark red blood.
Seeing the old man like this, the young girl's eyes were filled with sorrow. She tightly clung to the old man's arm, afraid that if she let go, she would completely lose this warm support.
How could the young girl's reaction not make the old man's heart ache? However, he knew that he was just a candle in the wind that could be completely extinguished at any time.
Once he died, he was destined to leave the young girl alone, leaving behind the granddaughter he had loved for his entire life.
Helplessly, the old man's eyes slowly turned to Yan Chutian. Because other than Yan Chutian, there was no other candidate here.
He could only take a gamble and entrust his granddaughter to the other party. Perhaps he had never met Yan Chutian before, but from the short time they had spent together, he could vaguely confirm that the other party's nature was not bad.
This made him feel a little more at ease.
Thinking of this, the old man could no longer suppress the thoughts in his heart. Weakly, he spoke out his thoughts.
In the face of a dying old man's last wish, Yan Chutian could not say anything to refuse. Moreover, he understood that if he refused, the old man's granddaughter would have to live alone in the Divine Realm.
However, with her cultivation and strength, how could there be a way to survive in this dangerous Heaven Realm!
Because of all these, Yan Chutian finally nodded. After he nodded, a smile finally appeared on the old man's weak face.
This smile did not appear even when he killed his enemy with his own hands. It was not difficult to know how important the young girl was to him.
As if the worry in his heart had finally been put down, the old man's life force that he had barely supported immediately dissipated.
When he tried to sense it again, he found that even his body seemed to have turned cold. It was hard to imagine what kind of thoughts he had just accumulated.
The disappearance of the old man's life force also caused the young girl to be unable to suppress the sadness in her heart. With a cry, she completely collapsed on the old man's cold body.
Looking at this scene, Yan Chutian could only sigh helplessly.
No matter how strong he was, he couldn't make it in time. Even if he arrived in time, he probably wouldn't be able to change the final result.
From the remaining power between heaven and earth, he could feel a huge residual power of the formation. In other words, if it wasn't for the villagers risking their lives, it would be impossible to break through that formation.
No matter how strong he was, how could he compare to the strength of the many Elixir cultivators in this village?
Half a day later, the ancient village was set ablaze. The young girl looked at the sea of fire with teary eyes, looking at the familiar scenes everywhere.
She couldn't take the old man, and she couldn't take it away. She had no choice but to burn them to the ground and send away the villagers who had risked their lives for her sole survival.
Perhaps the young girl couldn't sense it, but when the fire burned, Yan Chutian behind her could vaguely sense it. From the raging fire, there was indeed a lot of aura of relief.
After an entire day, the fire gradually calmed down. The young girl stood outside the village like a stone statue for an entire day.
A day later, the fire calmed down. The young girl knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily towards the dark ground.
Afterwards, the young girl turned and followed Yan Chutian's's''s's' ', leaving this ancient place together.
… …
"Pitter-patter …"
Under the dark sky, in the depths of the forest. A bonfire slowly flickered. From the bonfire, there would occasionally be crisp crackling sounds. Every crackling sound would cause the following fire to burn even more vigorously.
Beside the bonfire, a thin young girl sat silently. Her knees were tightly pressed together, and her head was buried between her knees. Only a pair of beautiful eyes could be seen as she absentmindedly looked at the bonfire in front of her.
Obviously, the young girl hadn't walked out of her sorrow yet.
With such a reaction from the young girl, Yan Chutian didn't want to disturb her. While roasting the meat on the bonfire, he quietly comprehended the profound shadow.
After comprehending for a long time, when the meat emitted a rich aroma, Yan Chutian finally opened his eyes.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that the young girl, Cher, seemed to have also looked at the roasted meat.
As expected, it was not out of Yan Chutian's's's's' '. Even though the young girl was already an Elixir, she should still have the habit of eating three meals a day since she had always lived in that hidden village.
And since then, this young girl had probably not eaten anything for two days.
Thus, Yan Chutian immediately cut a large piece of roasted meat and handed it to the young girl. Looking at this scene, the young girl seemed a little timid.
However, thinking that she had already been entrusted to him by her grandfather, the young girl didn't refuse. While receiving the roasted meat, she softly thanked him.
Then, she began to eat the roasted meat in small bites. Looking at this scene, Yan Chutian faintly smiled. This feeling was very similar to the feeling of having a younger sister.
After eating the roasted meat in small bites, the young girl slowly raised her beautiful eyes. Her oily red lips slightly opened and she said, "Benefactor, where are we going next?"
"Cher, you don't need to call me benefactor. If you don't mind, you can just call me Yan Chu."
Unexpectedly, before Yan Chutian finished speaking, the young girl hurriedly shook her head, "No, how can Cher call benefactor by his name. How about Cher call benefactor Big Brother Yan? "
"Big Brother Yan?"
Yan Chutian repeated. If a man called him that, his goosebumps would have already fallen to the ground.
However, it was a beautiful young girl with bright eyes and white teeth. It made people feel very comfortable, so Yan Chutian nodded and agreed.
Seeing Yan Chutian agree, a smile appeared on the young girl's delicate face. At this moment, she finally found someone to rely on. To her, who was alone and had no one to rely on, this was without a doubt the best news.
After the joyous laughter, Yan Chutian gradually regained his solemn expression. He accepted the Elder's request and naturally had to ensure the young girl's safety. However, his trip was destined to be extremely dangerous, so he had to first warn the young girl.
"Cher, we need to cross the divine continents and use the transportation array to go to the Cangyuan Continent. Our destination is the Cangyuan Continent's Cangshen Palace."
"Cangshen Palace?"
The young girl's face was full of confusion. Living in the hidden village, she had never had contact with the outside world. Of course, she didn't know about the Cangshen Palace or even the nine continents of the Heaven Realm.
However, Yan Chutian didn't mind and carefully explained to the young girl. At the same time, he mentioned the nine continents and the various forces.
Of course, this included the Domain of the Gods. When the young girl learned that the Domain of the Gods was the main culprit behind the destruction of her family, a strong anger appeared in her beautiful eyes.
It was not difficult to know that the experience of the once innocent young girl never returning and the destruction of her family had already buried a deep fog in her heart.
However, no matter how angry she was, the young girl understood from Yan Chutian's description how powerful the Domain of the Gods was.
Compared to the Domain of the Gods, she was not even an ant.
However, no matter how weak she was, the fog would not disappear. One day, when she had enough power, she would completely explode the anger in her heart.
Yan Chutian understood the young girl's emotions, but he wouldn't persuade her to give up. This was not only because he didn't want to, but also because he couldn't.
The blood feud of the destruction of her family was too deep. If it were him, he would never give up on revenge. Therefore, what reason did he have to ask others to give up?
Secondly, the Domain of the Gods had committed all sorts of evil. Everyone had the right to punish them!
However, Yan Chutian understood the horror of the Domain of the Gods more than the young girl. On the surface, it might be below the six palaces, but in reality, it was on equal footing with any of the six palaces, or even stronger!
Therefore, he hurriedly reminded her. "Cher, you must not be impulsive. The Domain of the Gods has committed all sorts of evil and deserves to die. However, before you have enough power, you must not expose yourself.
"Otherwise, we will only attract the Domain of the Gods' butcher's knife!"
Hearing this, the young girl took a deep breath. Only then did she gradually suppress her nearly uncontrollable emotions.
Then, her clear voice slowly sounded.
"Big Brother Yan, I understand what you are saying. Before I have enough power, Cher will definitely protect herself and not expose herself.
"However, as long as Cher has enough power, she must completely erase the culprit behind the destruction of my family from this world!
