Chapter 1205: Chapter 1205: Dragon Taming Clan (2)
Later, the Situ Family beca a grueso tragedy.
The major factions were blinded by greed, seeing only power and wealth. To force Situ Nanfeng to hand over the treasure, those people wiped out every single branch of the Situ Family overnight! Over two hundred people perished in the Underworld! Even Situ Nanfeng himself was consud in the sea of flas, leaving no remains!
The Situ Family was entirely annihilated, and the Dragon Taming Clan vanished from the face of the world. Along with it, the legendary treasure capable of taming the Dragon Clan was also swept away in the tides of history.
However, twenty-two years later, on a remote island over two million kiloters away from Xuanjin, the only remaining mbers of the Situ Family were quietly living a secluded existence.
"That’s how it happened. Who would have thought, after twenty-two years, those people still managed to find us! This ti, the Situ Family really faces extinction!" The old woman, Grandma Fengling—Situ Nanfeng’s wife—spoke with tears in her eyes, her gaze full of desolation and loneliness.
She and Situ Nanfeng shared a deep bond of love; if not for her infant granddaughter and the mission of the Situ Family, Fengling would long have followed Situ Nanfeng in death.
But fate played its cruel hand. Shortly after arriving on the island, their son and daughter-in-law succumbed to illness and passed away, leaving Fengling and her infant granddaughter Ah Mi to rely on each other.
Thus, they had endured for more than twenty years.
"Sister-in-law Fengling, the Situ Family has hidden for over twenty years, yet it seems that group has never stopped hunting for your whereabouts. Back then, Situ went as far as using a few freshly diseased corpses to pass off as so of your family mbers—likely arousing their suspicions. If you hadn’t fled far away all these years, you would’ve lost your lives long ago."
Ye Chenghong sighed. "Sister-in-law, you and little Ah Mi should stay peacefully under the protection of the dicine Sect. As long as I, Ye Chenghong, am here, I will never let anyone harm the two of you. You and Ah Mi are the last hope of the Situ Family; nothing must happen to you."
Grandma Fengling initially intended to refuse, but when she saw Ah Mi’s reddened eyes, she swallowed her words.
She had only a few years left to live, but her granddaughter was still young. Ah Mi needed a strong protector to see her safely through her future.
"Xiao Ye, I won’t stand on ceremony with you. I haven’t taught Ah Mi cultivation of ancient martial arts; she is just an ordinary person right now. I don’t want her involved in these affairs—I only wish for her to live a life of peace and happiness. This old woman doesn’t have many years left, and that pack of heartless wolves will undoubtedly set their sights on Ah Mi in the future. Xiao Ye, I beg you to help
and the Situ Family protect Ah Mi’s life. I offer my gratitude to you on behalf of Situ and all the Dragon Taming Clan."
"Grandma..." Ah Mi’s eyes brimd with tears and stread down her face. An Yiqing sighed inwardly and pulled her into a comforting embrace.
As the last descendant of the Dragon Taming Clan, even though Ah Mi yearned for an ordinary life, she was far more helpless than others could ever imagine. This was an unchangeable reality.
"Sister-in-law, rest assured! Back in the day, I was as close as brothers with Situ. I will certainly spare no effort in protecting his granddaughter. As long as the dicine Sect exists, no harm will co to little Ah Mi! You can focus on recovering; there are plenty of better days ahead."
Grandma Fengling let out a bitter smile—better days? Those people had already shown up at their doorstep; how could the Situ Family possibly see better days?
"Xiao Ye, aside from Ah Mi, I have one more thing I’d like to ask of you."
"Sister-in-law, please speak!"
Grandma Fengling looked deeply at An Yiqing, her gaze filled with an unusual intensity. The room fell into an eerie silence, and An Yiqing suddenly felt her body bound by an inexplicable force, rendering her unable to move.
Both Ye Chenghong and Gu Yelin sensed the strange power, but they trusted Grandma Fengling enough not to act rashly.
