Central Quake Rear Peak, Heaven Commanding Divine Palace.
A tall figure rushed into the main hall, pulling open the curtains like a gust of wind.
"Palace Master Duanmu!" An old voice came out from the body, trembling endlessly, as though he was in a hurry.
The old man waited for a few breaths of time, but he still did not sense any traces of anyone in the main hall. His eyes fluctuated and dimmed slightly.
"Chi la!"
Blue ice crystals broke through the air and quickly dissolved the pressure in the main hall. A heart-piercing chill swept through like an ancient storm. Immediately, the old man's eyes shone brightly, and his body unconsciously retreated.
"Old Master Su, what's the matter?" His voice was gentle, but the faint sorrow still could not escape Su Yuntian's tiger eyes.
His teeth slightly clenched, Su Yuntian's hale and hearty eyes blazed as he spoke softly.
"I heard from the servants in Heaven Commanding Palace that Su Yi, he … did he not return?"
After pausing for a moment, Duanmu Xiaoman's aura began to fluctuate, and a trace of panic flashed across her frosty face, but it quickly disappeared.
"Su Yi, he … is in a safe place! He will be back soon! "
Subconsciously, Su Yuntian could not hide the sorrow in his heart, and the corner of his mouth twitched. He walked forward and said emotionally.
"How long will it take! What exactly happened to Yi 'er! Please tell me, Palace Master Duanmu! "
"Sou!"
Another gust of cold wind blew past, and the blue light in front of her trembled. Duanmu Xiaoman flashed to Su Yuntian's side, her red lips tightly pursed, and her tone was firm.
"Very soon! If I say he will return, he will return! Old Master, don't you trust me? "
The voice that was close to a shout made Su Yuntian's heart stunned. In the dim but turbid eyes, Duanmu Xiaoman's face was firm, and for a moment, Su Yuntian swallowed all his worries back into his stomach.
He was clear that Duanmu Xiaoman was also heartbroken, and perhaps even more heartbroken than his own grandfather!
"Alas!"
Letting out a long sigh, Su Yuntian's hands drooped down powerlessly as he muttered, "Yi 'er lost his parents when he was young and was brought up by me. His personality is a little mischievous, but his heart is always kind. Yi' er's suffering is hard for others to imagine. As his grandfather, I try my best to tolerate him. Yi 'er has grown up and his abilities have grown, so naturally I am happy. But as an elder, how can I not be worried when my grandson's whereabouts are unknown?"
"Old Master, I care about Su Yi as much as you do. I promise that when he comes back, he will come to see you immediately!"
Su Yuntian gratefully nodded his head, tears welling up in his eyes, unable to fade away for a long time.
"Get married when you come back! Yi 'er is not young anymore! "Su Yuntian's heart was filled with boundless joy as he looked at his granddaughter-in-law.
Duanmu Xiaoman paused for a moment, feeling a little awkward, and changed the topic.
"Old man, you just said that Su Yi didn't have parents since he was young? Where are his parents? "Duanmu Xiaoman asked softly.
"His parents …" When this topic was brought up, Su Yuntian's eyes were filled with endless sorrow, and he almost couldn't help but speak of the past with a choked voice.
Su Yi's father, Su Jingyuan, had made a name for himself at a young age in Barbarian City. He was an invincible existence in the younger generation, and he had already reached the ninth level of the Origin Void Stage at the age of 16.
At that time, it was widely spread in Barbarian City that Su Jingyuan would become a personal disciple of any first-rate power. No matter how unknown and mediocre he was, after more than 10 years, he would still be able to become a sect elder. Since then, everyone believed that the Su Clan would become even more powerful and prosperous.
Compared to the Liu Clan that had the support of the Saint Mountain, the Su Clan would become the next City Governor.
Unexpectedly, Su Jingyuan didn't choose any sect, and instead chose to travel around without joining any sect, choosing the extremely arduous path of an independent cultivator.
"Cultivating alone requires great courage!" Duanmu Xiaoman raised her chin as a trace of depression flashed in her eyes.
Su Yuntian chuckled and said in a low voice, "Jingyuan, since my son has this ambition, I will naturally support it! His first stop was the same as Yi 'er's first stop, they both chose the Barbaric Demon Forest! "
Duanmu Xiaoman had also gone to the Barbaric Demon Forest when she wanted to investigate the whereabouts of Duanmu Qingtian.
That place was a paradise for Barbaric Demons and a battlefield for humans. Choosing this place undoubtedly required great tenacity and perseverance.
Three years passed by like riding a horse. When Su Jingyuan returned, he was already at the fourth level of the Origin Monarch Realm, and it caused a commotion in Barbarian City.
"So fast? A mere independent cultivator broke through the shackles of the Origin Monarch Realm so easily with his own ability? "Duanmu Xiaoman's brows gradually furrowed.
Su Yuntian nodded proudly, and there was undisguised pride between his brows as he said in a low voice, "Not only that, Jingyuan also brought Su Yi's mother back. That was the first time I saw my daughter-in-law, Wen Fu, and also the last time I saw her!"
"The last time you saw her?" Duanmu Xiaoman's heart flashed with doubt.
"That's right. One night, Jingyuan brought Fu 'er back and left after staying for a short while! Since then, I have never seen them again! "
The sorrow of losing his son spread like a tide. Duanmu Xiaoman heard it, but her heart was filled with doubts.
Why did Su Jingyuan leave in the middle of the night after bringing Wen Fu back? Could it be that he was being chased? Or was it because of some unknown secret?
"Old Master, there's one thing I hope you can tell me truthfully!" Duanmu Xiaoman's expression was solemn.
Pulling himself out from the painful memories, Su Yuntian's withered hands rubbed his red eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice.
"Palace Master Duanmu, please speak. You are the granddaughter-in-law that I have decided on. I will tell you everything I know!"
Duanmu Xiaoman's eyes flashed with a trace of shyness, and the corner of her mouth moved slightly as she said, "What kind of secret treasure does Barbarian City have?"
Su Yuntian's eyes flashed, and he was stunned for a moment. After a moment of silence, he said, "Yi 'er also asked me about this before. Sigh, maybe I'm just ignorant! "
Actually, Barbarian City was a small city in a remote corner. It was adjacent to Barbarian Demon Forest, but there were no Barbarian Demon Beasts attacking it. This point alone was worth investigating.
Su Yuntian recalled, "Although Barbarian City is small, it has a long history. According to the records of our ancestors, there were only a few families in the earliest Barbarian City. They were the ancestors of He, Su, Mo, Song and Liu. Gradually, the five great families developed and became the protectors of Barbarian City for thousands of years. As to why they settled down in Barbarian City, there are many different theories."
Su Yuntian told Duanmu Xiaoman that in the middle of Barbarian City, there was a temple. Inside, there were sacrifices for the ancestors of the five great families who had made outstanding contributions to Barbarian City. And in the middle of the temple, there was the earliest well in Barbarian City.
That was the most important source of water for Barbarian City. Because of this source of water, Barbarian City began to prosper. Gradually, the population grew, and the fire continued to burn.
"If you want to talk about something special, the Spiritual Qi around the temple is indeed abundant. This could be the reason why the ancestors chose this place. Other than that, there is nothing special about Barbarian City. If there was something special, how could I not know?"
