People were in high spirits during happy events.
The hearts of the three of them were slowly filled with happiness and contentment.
They were reunited!
Good times always passed quickly. By the time they finished eating and cleared the table, it was already past eight o 'clock in the evening.
The whole family sat around the small table again, their expressions much more stable.
Especially the questions that they had been afraid to ask before, they were finally probing, deliberating, asking, and speaking.
"Darling, you are now … a practitioner, right?" Old Wood's eyes were filled with hope.
"Yes."
"But … a sect of the Umno Alliance?"
Old Wood's eyes flashed with complicated emotions. "Is it the Voracious Wolf Sect?"
"Dad! How do you know about this? "
Mo Xuanyi was really shocked this time.
He had once mentioned to Aunt Ma that he was a practitioner, and his original appearance was different from normal people. So, it was not surprising that his parents could tell that he was abnormal.
However, his father could tell that he was from the Umno Alliance, and even the Voracious Wolf Sect. It was a little surreal!
"Child, you don't know, but your mother and I were practitioners back then … and we had both practiced to the acme of the Embryonic Breathing realm, about to break through to the Primordial Elixir realm. We could be considered as decent practitioners."
Old Wood said slowly, "Our ancestral home is in Phoenix City. During your great-grandfather's time, he joined the army to resist the invasion of the Umno Alliance. Later, he settled down at the Sun Moon Pass …"
"When it came to me, my aptitude for practice was not bad, so I naturally became a practitioner. After that, my parents, brothers, and family all died in the battle with the Umno Alliance. This was a common occurrence for a family that settled down at the Sun Moon Pass. It was nothing special and not worthy of praise …"
"My name is Mu Congjun. Your mother's name is Liu Yanbo … The two of us are classmates and can be considered as childhood sweethearts. At that time, the war situation was not very tense. It was not like now where martial arts seedlings from the academy were recruited so easily. "
"But because of our family's hatred for our country, we worked hard to train and accumulate our strength, waiting for the day when we could go to the battlefield and kill our enemies!"
"However, during that training … seven or eight of us entered the outer area of the Roaring Tiger Forest to train … Based on our cultivation at that time, we could only train in the outer area. However, we accidentally encountered a competitor from another academy. Both sides fought over resources …
"That's because the spirit medicine was already ours. Naturally, we weren't willing to give it up. Furthermore, the enemy outnumbered us. At that time, your mother and I weren't married yet. We rushed into Roaring Tiger Forest with the spirit medicine in our arms. In our panic, we triggered some sort of restriction … and triggered a hidden formation."
"Your mother and I were trapped in there. There was nothing we could do. We could only suffer in there. Later, I felt that we wouldn't be able to get out for a while. So, I cut down some trees and built a house in there … During those days, we ate raw meat and drank blood. It's really … hard to talk about."
"But it was also because we supported each other during that period of time that we … felt that we were in love with each other and became husband and wife. We stayed in that formation for a full six years. Your mother got pregnant … and then you were born. "
"After we stayed in Roaring Tiger Forest for a full ten years, your mother and I both broke through to the Inner Core realm. During those years, I studied that formation day and night, trying to find a way out … It's fine if it's just the two of us. No matter how dangerous it is, it's fine if it's just the two of us. It's fine if it's just the two of us.
"But with you, you'll eventually grow up … Are we going to let you stay with us until we grow old? Our daughter, how can you not see the outside world for the rest of your life? "
Under the dim yellow light, Mu Congjun slowly recounted the events of the past.
Mo Xuanyi held back her tears and listened quietly.
"Finally, on that day, there seemed to be two experts fighting nearby. Their power was earth-shattering. The aftermath of the battle shook the foundation of the formation, causing a gap to appear in the formation that trapped us. It was enough for one person to pass through and escape."
"Your mother and I took advantage of this opportunity. We didn't bring anything but you and used all our cultivation to escape."
"Once we get out of the formation, everything will be easy. As long as we find the right direction, it will take us less than a day to reach the periphery of the Roaring Tiger Forest, which is within the range of our human strength. However, just when we were slightly relieved, the nightmare came!" "That's right.
"We met people from the Greedy Wolf Witchcraft Sect, and it was the infamous Granny Greedy Wolf of the Greedy Wolf Witchcraft Sect … There was a huge difference in strength between the two sides. We were caught and interrogated about our origins. After learning that we came out of the Roaring Tiger Forest Formation, Granny Greedy Wolf asked us to take her into that formation again."
"It was then that we knew that in this formation, there was actually a cave left by a senior who had lived for countless years … There were countless treasures and inheritances in it."
"Although the two of us didn't have the fortune or fate to obtain the inheritance of the senior and returned empty-handed from the treasure mountain, how could we give those precious things to the people of the Umno Alliance, to our enemies?"
"Your mother and I swore to die … That Granny Greedy Wolf tortured us for three days and three nights, but we still didn't agree …"
A strong sense of pride flashed across Mu Congjun's eyes.
Mo Xuanyi also hugged her mother's shoulder with heartache.
As Granny Greedy Wolf's disciple, she knew very well how ruthless her master was. When it came to torturing people, she could turn a bronze man into juice!
Her parents actually endured three days and three nights of torture and still didn't give in!
This stubbornness was enough to make anyone admire them!
If this matter was spread out, that there were people who could endure three days and three nights of torture by Granny Greedy Wolf without giving in, most of the people in the Greedy Wolf Witchcraft Sect would think that it was not a joke, but a legend!
"But it was also those three days and three nights of torture that destroyed our foundation. Even our primordial spirits were almost destroyed … Our life's cultivation was reduced to nothing, and our bodies were badly damaged …"
"And in the end, we thought that our family of three would step on the road to the Yellow Springs together, but we didn't expect that Granny Greedy Wolf would say that the two of you had forced Granny Greedy Wolf to use all her means to no avail. It was really impressive, and worthy of my admiration. Since Granny Greedy Wolf didn't make you spit out your mouths, I won't kill you. However, you've humiliated Granny Greedy Wolf, so you'll have to bear the pain of being separated from your flesh and blood for the rest of your life! "
"After saying that, she grabbed you and left … At that time, you were only three and a half years old."
Tears flowed down Mu Congjun's face.
"Not three and a half years old. It was three years, four months, and eleven days. "
On the other side, Liu Yanbo added leisurely, "Until now, it's been thirty-one years, seven months, and eight days."
Mo Xuanyi's tears fell like rain.
In his mother's heart, she actually remembered the time when he left her embrace so clearly. These thirty-one years, she probably counted them day by day. What a torturous time it was …
"How much we wanted to find you, even if we had to sacrifice our lives, it wouldn't matter. But in this world, there are too many things that can't be done. The will is the power."
"Back then, our teacher told us that even if we gathered all the strength of our school and had the help of the army, the hope of finding you was next to nothing … What's more, our cultivation was crippled, and we were already …"
"Later, it was the old principal who used his connections with the graduates of the army, and who knows how many twists and turns, to ask Marshal Dongfang to make a prophecy … At that time, the army had just won a great victory, and Marshal Dongfang was in a good mood, so he specially came to take a look …"
"At that time, Marshal Dongfang said, 'Return to where you came from. The ancestral shadow will protect you, and your loyal souls will never die. In Phoenix City, there will be a ceremony for the arrival of the phoenix. Live in poverty and keep your chastity, and we will meet again in this life.'"
"It was these words. Your mother and I sold all our family assets, and the old principal sent four classmates to send us back to our hometown, Phoenix City … But on the way …"
"Cough cough!"
When Mu Congjun said this, Liu Yanbo suddenly coughed for a long time.
Mo Xuanyi was puzzled, but she didn't ask.
"It's fine, what can't you tell your own daughter?"
Mu Congjun said indifferently, "But on the way, those four people … took everything we had and ran away … At that time, your mother and I couldn't walk, and there was nothing we could do …"
"Fortunately, those four people didn't find the little money I hid under my shoe … We relied on this little money, and begged along the way … to return to Phoenix City."
When Mu Congjun spoke of this tragic past, there wasn't much hatred in his voice, and his tone was very calm.
It was probably because after a few decades, he had become indifferent to everything.
But Mo Xuanyi clenched her fists tightly.
Looking at her old parents in front of her, their bodies in decline … She knew very well how her parents felt at that time!
Reaching the Inner Core realm at the age of marriage, and becoming a Martial Grandmaster, with such cultivation speed, they could be said to be geniuses of the human race, one in ten thousand geniuses!
No matter if it was her parents, they were once true geniuses of their generation!
After a misfortune, their cultivation was crippled, their daughter was taken away, their flesh and blood were separated, and their bodies were crippled … From being geniuses of their generation, they were beaten to the depths of hell!
And then on the way back to their hometown, they were robbed by their former classmates …
How sorrowful was this? How tragic was this?!
Begging all the way back home, a long journey of hundreds of thousands of miles …
Mo Xuanyi couldn't imagine how her parents persevered, and how they finished that journey!
"At that time … If not for General Dongfang's prophecy, and the fact that I still had to wait until I saw you … I'm afraid your mother and I …"
Mu Congjun chuckled and didn't continue.
He picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp.
"Those four people, what were their names?"
Mo Xuanyi gritted her teeth, the hatred in her eyes almost bursting through the sky!
