"Your godfather?"
Su Yie's expression was peculiar as he asked in astonishnt.
In the Ancient Wilderness, the person he could never see through was Li Huahun's father, the Silver-faced Man of the Immortal Scorching Ridge.
Even he, having reached the Ascendance of the Primordial Gold Immortal, recalled the Silver-faced Man as unfathomable.
"Yes, he didn't specify the reasons,"
Li Huahun nodded, his face relaxed.
The child in the bellyband really annoyed him; many tis, he had wanted to strangle him, but due to his father's imposing authority, he could only endure.
"What does your father an by this?"
Looking at the child in Su Yie's arms, Nan Xiaopao couldn't help but ask.
Why did she feel like an extra hat had been placed on her head?
Li Huahun shook his head, "What that old undying intends, I can't guess."
His tone shifted, tinged with a trace of resentnt, "Do you know how long I've been looking for you?"
Su Yie looked down at the belly-banded child.
He could tell that although the boy was young, he had already accumulated a considerable amount of Spiritual Power.
A cultivation prodigy!
However, Su Yie found him utterly unfamiliar and simply couldn't grasp the Silver-faced Man's intentions.
"You and I shall duel, decide the victor, and then I will leave, not disturbing you any longer,"
Li Huahun said to Su Yie, his face revealing a fierce grin.
Knowing that Su Yie had grown stronger, he had always desired a battle with him.
Considering it, he had never fought Su Yie before; saying these words made his blood boil.
Su Yie raised his head, gazing into his eyes, his expression turning grave.
Their eyes t, both n staring intensely at each other.
Nan Xiaopao stepped back, remaining silent about the impending contest
between the two.
She had complete confidence in Su Yie; Li Huahun was definitely no match for him.
"Agreed!"
Su Yie responded, imdiately setting the belly-banded child down, and with a swift leap, shot up towards the clouds.
Li Huahun's mouth curled up, promptly following after him.
Soon, a series of thunderous booms ca from the sky, deafening.
Nan Xiaopao's gaze fell on the belly-banded child who sat on the ground, staring at the sky and chuckling foolishly, his little finger in his mouth, drool flowing down his cheek.
Seeing his simple-minded appearance, Nan Xiaopao couldn't help but chuckle, drawn to tease him.
However, the belly-banded child seed very afraid of Nan Xiaopao and unexpectedly dodged, darting deep into the forest.
Nan Xiaopao quickly followed, lest he get lost.
The battle between Su Yie and Li Huahun did not last long.
Facing Li Huahun, Su Yie, even without invoking the Arcane Battle Techniques, easily overpowered him.
Li Huahun, whose cultivation also reached the Realm of the Primordial Gold Immortal, stood no chance against Su Yie, who had vastly improved after a period of training with the Immortal Emperor. Even in the sa realm, Li Huahun was no match for him.
On top of the mountain.
Su Yie stood on the edge of the cliff, and Li Huahun knelt on the ground, gasping for air, sweating profusely.
His gaze towards Su Yie was filled with reluctance, but deep within his eyes lay a sense of relief.
"Good, you have already grown up, not needing my protection."
"Next ti we et, I must defeat you, so you must not be complacent."
After saying these words, Li Huahun vanished on the spot.
He had already teleported to Ren Wolang's side.
This battle had dealt a great blow to him. In such a short ti, Su Yie had grown far stronger than him, and his pride made it hard for him to accept this.
Su Yie sighed; he had wanted to go easy, but treating Li Huahun that way would have been an insult.
He believed that Li Huahun would soon catch up.
However, defeating him was impossible!
Setting aside personal feelings, Su Yie also had his pride.
"From now on, I'll be the one to protect you."
Su Yie's mouth curled into a smile, his eyes sparkling with enthusiasm.
Not long after Li Huahun left, Nan Xiaopao returned, holding a child swathed in a bellyband.
"Wah wah—"
The loud crying echoed under the Sky Do. Nan Xiaopao, feeling helpless, said to Su Yie, "This kid is too troubleso, always dodging around. Once caught, he just cries."
Su Yie took the child, who instantly stopped crying and stared up at Su Yie with pitiful, red-rimd eyes.
This scene infuriated Nan Xiaopao to the core.
"Let's take him back to the Myriad Demon Court."
Su Yie decided, not wanting to carry an extra burden.
The Silver-faced Man had given him the child without specific instructions, so Su Yie would handle it as he pleased.
Hearing this, Nan Xiaopao nodded, knowing she would explode with anger if the child followed them.
The two imdiately flew towards the Myriad Demon Court.
...
At Immortal Scorching Ridge, atop Immortal Emperor Peak.
The Silver-faced Man sat on a tree branch, swinging his right leg leisurely.
A beam of light descended from the sky, landing in front of him and disintegrating into myriad twinkling stars. Soon after, a transparent figure appeared, looking as though it was ford from ripples of water.
The Silver-faced Man remained unmoved, continuing to hum a tune with his eyes closed.
"The great calamity of the Ancient Wilderness is approaching, and I hope you will make a move by then."
The transparent figure emitted a cold voice.
The Silver-faced Man did not open his eyes but instead flipped over on the branch, casually replying, "Isn't this your territory? Why should I make a move?"
"I cannot make a move."
"Then don't."
"I allowed your son to hide in the Ancient Wilderness; can't you help out?"
"If it weren't for , would the Ancient Wilderness have developed into today's prosperity?"
The transparent figure fell silent, at a loss for further persuasion.
The Silver-faced Man waved his sleeve, "Go now, I will ensure one thing—that the person you care about survives."
Hearing this, the transparent figure imdiately shattered, dispersing into wisps of white mist that vanished into the air.
Peace returned to Immortal Emperor Peak.
The Silver-faced Man opened his eyes, staring at the sky, and muttered to himself, "God Father, what significance does the Ancient Wilderness hold for you, why did you leave so many traces? Is the existence of the Celestial Authority Demon Star also sothing you're pushing?"
...
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
After arriving at the Myriad Demon Court with Nan Xiaopao, they only stayed for half a day. Su Yie had originally intended to leave the child at the court, but the kid absolutely refused, crying hysterically, his wails heard by all beings in the court.
Having no choice, Su Yie and Nan Xiaopao stealthily left, leaving the ss for Ren Wokuang and Ren Wolang to handle.
Upon discovering the child was their sworn brother, they imdiately beca excited, declaring their intention to personally train the little fellow.
After leaving the Myriad Demon Court, Su Yie and Nan Xiaopao arrived at a deserted island.
"Su Yie, why have you brought here?"
Nan Xiaopao asked curiously, her Divine Sense sweeping over the island, finding nothing special about it.
Pretending to be profound, Su Yie replied, "To be honest, I was selected by the sect master, chosen as a key figure for intensive training in Emperor Su's Sect. The sect master has built a separate stronghold especially for . I am taking you there now. Rember, this must not be leaked, especially within Emperor Su's Sect. The sect master is testing the hearts of the mbers of Su Imperial Clan individually."
"Besides , the sect master will select other candidates for intensive training and build separate strongholds for each."
Separate stronghold?
Key figure for intensive training?
Nan Xiaopao furrowed her brows. She stared intently into Su Yie's eyes and suddenly asked, "Su Yie, you're actually Emperor Su, aren't you?"
