"Perish together..." Chu Nan was dazed, recalling Feng Jiming’s words in detail. Was this really how Chu Fang died?
Such a heroic end!
Though his heart was aching and empty, a sliver of relief appeared in Chu Nan’s eyes. To fight to the last breath and die for one’s belief, Chu Fang could be considered to have died a worthy death.
As Chu Fang’s only son, Chu Nan believed that his father, having killed the Sword Demon before his death and preventing the lower realm from being blood-sacrificed, must have been deeply gratified as he faced death.
"And then?" Seeing Feng Jiming’s expression of wanting to say more, Chu Nan felt he had more to reveal.
A flash of sadness and worry appeared on Feng Jiming’s face as he said, "Your father indeed died fighting the Sword Demon, but at the ti, only I saw it, only !"
"Ti after ti, I tried to persuade myself it was an illusion, but I couldn’t deceive myself even once."
Chu Nan noticed the doubt in Feng Jiming’s eyes and cautiously asked, "Could it be, the Sword Demon didn’t die?"
"That’s right." Feng Jiming nodded, "The Sword Demon’s body was destroyed, but his remaining soul turned into wisps of smoke and disappeared in the Cyan Demon Mountain Range. I’ll never forget that scene."
"The Sword Demon is a demon lurking in the shadows. Even with just a shred of his soul remaining, he will crawl back from Hell!"
"He will bring calamity back to this world sooner or later."
At this point, Feng Jiming pressed his hands heavily on Chu Nan’s shoulders, "The Sword Demon will definitely return, and the lower realm will once again be engulfed in bloodshed and turmoil."
"When that ti cos, there must be soone willing to stand up to resist, fight, and even eradicate the Sword Demon completely."
"I’ve been observing you secretly these days. Your bloodline aura, your cultivation techniques, they’re almost identical to your father’s."
"If anyone can completely eradicate the Sword Demon, it must be you!"
Hearing this, Chu Nan secretly clenched his fists. He believed Feng Jiming’s words that the Sword Demon might indeed not be dead.
He might have returned to the Heavenly Balance Realm, perhaps to the Celestial Crossing Realm, or maybe is even nearby him!
Whether for himself or others, the Sword Demon must die. As Chu Fang’s son, he would inevitably et him one day.
This might be the destiny of being Chu Fang’s son.
Chu Nan solemnly nodded and said, "My father died at the Sword Demon’s hand, so if he truly returns, I will surely kill him!"
Seeing Chu Nan’s determined eyes, a look of relief appeared on Feng Jiming’s face.
He slowly said, "The help from Feng Family Manor isn’t much. If you want to quickly grow stronger and possess the power to confront the Sword Demon, you must find your mother."
Hearing Feng Jiming ntion his mother, Chu Nan’s eyes lit up, and he excitedly asked, "Do you know where my mother is?"
Having lost his father, Chu Nan didn’t want to lose his mother too.
To his disappointnt, Feng Jiming shook his head and then said, "I don’t know either. Your mother is the legitimate daughter of the Ye family, one of the supre noble families in the Heavenly Balance Realm, holding a very prestigious position there."
"After giving birth to you in the Cyan Demon Mountain Range, she disappeared, but she didn’t abandon you; there must have been sothing more important that made her leave."
"However, when she left, she took with her Huo Family’s legitimate daughter, Huo Mingxian, who always followed her. Soon after the Sword Demon’s death, she returned alone to the Imperial Capital."
"Your mother’s whereabouts, perhaps only Huo Mingxian knows."
Upon hearing this, Chu Nan was silent for a long ti. He hadn’t expected this matter to be linked to the Huo family.
From Mansion Master Lin Haoyang, he had learned that it was Huo Lingjun from the Imperial Capital’s powerful races who took Lin Yian’s Red Phoenix Battle Body.
The Huo family’s power in the Imperial Capital was not insignificant. Since Huo Mingxian was from the Imperial Capital, her realm was likely at least at the Divine Illumination Realm, or even above at the Cloud Sea Realm.
"I understand." Chu Nan nodded, his desire to head to the Imperial Capital grew even stronger.
What was once just for Gu Nianxue, now had another reason added.
"Thank you, senior." After hearing so much from Feng Jiming, the knot in Chu Nan’s heart had also completely dissipated.
Feng Jiming, however, waved his hand and said, "No need to thank , my Feng Family owes everything we have today to your father."
"Back then, when fighting the Sword Demon Hall in the Cyan Demon Mountain Range, I was weak and could only serve as an assistant, yet your father took great care of ."
"Not only did he teach the Demon Profound Transformation, rapidly boosting my Feng Family’s strength, but he also gave nurous Spirit Martial artifacts and treasures."
"Moreover, before his final battle with the Sword Demon, he entrusted with two relics to safeguard."
"Now that you’ve co, it’s ti to return them to their rightful owner."
"Relics?" Chu Nan’s eyes slightly narrowed. The things left by his parents in the Celestial Crossing Realm were all invaluable treasures.
The Spiritual Wave Drum, Flowing Light Golden Crow Vehicle, and Curse Killing Blood Vase were all extrely formidable.
The things Chu Fang entrusted to Feng Jiming would certainly be no less valuable.
Then Feng Jiming said, "One of them I’ve already given you."
"Given to ?" A trace of confusion flashed in Chu Nan’s eyes, but he soon understood. He was referring to the Dragon Beast with the Ancestral Bloodline.
For a Martial Artist practicing the Nine Desolate Profound Transformation, nothing was more precious than the Ancestral Bloodline.
Then Feng Jiming continued, "As for the other item..."
He tapped his Storage Ring, carefully taking out a giant embroidered box the height of half a person and said, "This is another treasure your father left for you, and only your blood can open it."
"Today, it returns to its rightful owner."
Seeing this giant embroidered box, Chu Nan was deeply moved.
He didn’t refuse and casually stored it, then respectfully saluted Feng Jiming, "Senior, my utmost thanks once again!"
Chu Nan was deeply grateful to Feng Jiming.
These two treasures, Feng Jiming could have easily kept for himself, as Chu Nan would never have known.
Yet, he willingly brought them out and personally handed them over to him.
This kindness was sothing Chu Nan would always rember.
After all, with the illustrious examples of Chu Han and Chu Mountain in the Chu family, Feng Jiming’s actions seed all the more precious to Chu Nan.
Feng Jiming nodded upon witnessing this, then said, "Handing them over to you finally allows to leave the Cyan Profound Mansion at ease."
"Leave, why is the senior leaving here?" A trace of confusion flashed in Chu Nan’s eyes upon hearing this.
Feng Jiming sighed and then said, "There’s sothing you need to know. The turmoil in the Cyan Demon Mountain Range caused a huge stir among the top martial artists in the Qin Kingdom back then."
"At the sa ti, it bred so ambition. So strong races and royal family martial artists believed we possessed war spoils from the Heavenly Balance Realm and attempted to seize them."
"To avoid their persecution, I left the Cyan Profound Mansion and hid here."
"If they found , I wouldn’t have been able to give you these two treasures."
Hearing this, Chu Nan couldn’t help but feel anger. Those idiots from the Imperial Capital not only refrained from fighting back then but even persecuted the martial artists who participated.
Truly shaless!
At the sa ti, Chu Nan also understood that if not for waiting for him, Feng Jiming would have long taken his family and left the Cyan Profound Mansion. There was no way he could have hidden here all this ti.
