Chapter 728 - 728 Parting Is Unavoidable
728 Parting Is Unavoidable
“Big Brother! I’m afraid this matter won’t be easy to handle.” However, after hearing the two of them, Bai Junlin’s expression was very solemn and even a little afraid. If this matter involved some other small families, it might be easy to resolve.
However, he did not expect that the Ye Clan would be the first to be implicated! This was a super clan, a monarch race from the Immortal Ancient Era. Its power, strength, and foundation were all above their Bai Ze Clan. It would be a lie to say that Bai Junlin wasn’t afraid.
From the two pieces of news they had learned so far, it could be seen that there were two factions related to this matter. One was from the Ye Clan, and the other was from the Undying Divine Mountain! No matter which one it was, they were not easy to provoke. Their strength was unimaginable.
They had taken root in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands for many years, and their branches had almost enveloped more than half of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. It was easier said than done to control them.
How could Ye Qiu not understand this principle? Not to mention the Undying Divine Mountain, just this Ye Clan was an incomparably huge existence.
“Hmm… Looks like we have to visit the Ye Clan.” Ye Qiu was silent for a long time. After thinking calmly, he decided to visit the Ye Clan.
Bai Junlin was shocked by his words. “Damn, Big Brother, are you serious?” This big brother was too bold. Bai Junlin’s breathing became tense and his heart raced.
Ye Qiu smiled at him and said, “Why? Are you afraid? If you’re afraid, then go back. I can go alone.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Junlin was unhappy. Taking a deep breath, he replied heroically, “I’ve already said that my life was given to me by Big Brother. I’ll do whatever Big Brother wants me to do. Since Big Brother has the intention to visit the Ye Clan, I’ll risk my life to accompany you. It just so happens that I can see how terrifying the legendary Ye Clan is.” Bai Junlin went all out and made a bold promise to open a path for Ye Qiu.
Seeing this, Ye Qiu sighed in his heart. He didn’t expect that his unintentional actions back then would really obtain a trusted underling. At this moment, Ye Qiu finally acknowledged this underling, even though he wasn’t as outstanding as he had imagined. However, his determination was enough.
It wasn’t a big problem if his underling wasn’t outstanding enough! Ye Qiu could improve him, but he was most afraid that he wasn’t loyal enough. From the looks of it, Ye Qiu could already feel Bai Junlin’s sincerity. He really followed Ye Qiu from the bottom of his heart, not for an undeserved reputation.
“Alright! In that case, the two of us will take this trip and see how terrifying this so-called Ye Clan is.” Ye Qiu also replied generously.
Seeing the two of them like this, the Fire Sovereign was a little confused. He didn’t even know why he was cursed. “Master, you guys are…” The Fire Sovereign didn’t understand. After a while, he pointed at the Blood Amber Stone in Ye Qiu’s hand and asked, “Is there anything strange about this stone?”
Ye Qiu smiled. Before he could answer, Bai Junlin was the first to answer this question. “You’re quite honest. You don’t even know that you’ve been tricked. You’re probably still grateful to others for saving your life.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present changed. The Fire Sovereign was even more confused. “What do you mean?”
Bai Junlin did not hide anything and said honestly, “The source of the curse you are under is this Blood Amber Stone. Someone didn’t want you to die, so they gave you this stone, planted a curse, and refined you into their puppet. From then on, they controlled the entire Fire Nation and sacrificed the entire Fire Nation. Don’t you understand even now?”
A bolt from the blue. As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present changed. The Fire Sovereign’s expression was even uglier. He did not expect that the Undying Divine Doctor whom he had always been grateful to was actually the culprit who harmed him.
Bang! With a clear sound, the Fire Sovereign ruthlessly slapped the chopping board. He was furious, and everyone present was instantly shocked.
“Father…” Jiang Ming wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by the Fire Sovereign with a gloomy expression.
“What a vicious heart. If I don’t take revenge, I, Jiang Buwang, will not be human.” The Fire Sovereign said coldly. Anger had already surged into his heart. He was furious and glad. “If Master Ye hadn’t saved me today, I’m afraid I would have already become someone else’s puppet and harmed the citizens of my Fire Nation. I wouldn’t have been able to protect my integrity.
“I am deeply grateful for such a great kindness. Master, do you have any plans? Tell me, I will definitely cooperate fully and have no objections.”
At this moment, the Fire Sovereign completely expressed his determination. He decided to help Ye Qiu with all his might and prepare for revenge.
However, Ye Qiu shook his head and refused. “There’s no need! All kinds of karma are involved here. It’s definitely not something the Fire Nation can bear. You just need to protect this last pure land. You don’t have to interfere in the rest.”
Ye Qiu didn’t accept their help. He had already obtained the information he wanted, so there was no need to stay any longer. After a while, he slowly stood up and said, “Yaya, let’s go! It’s time to go.”
“Ah! Hearing this, Yaya looked at her master in shock. She hesitated for a few seconds before standing up obediently. She knew that this trip was her million-mile trial path. If she wanted to become an immortal and completely grow up, she had to make some choices.
Nostalgia for the mortal world was definitely not a right choice. Only by abandoning one’s mortal heart could one transcend. She turned around and looked at her father reluctantly. Yaya solemnly walked up to him and kowtowed three times. “Father, Yaya is going to follow Master. If I succeed in the future, I will come back to visit you.”
There were tears in the corners of her eyes, filled with reluctance. Yaya made a difficult decision.
Even though she wanted to stay by her old father’s side and accompany him for a period of time. However, she also understood that on this immortal path, parting was always the norm. Only by having a firm mind could one walk further.
“Sigh… Good child, go! You have to listen to your master obediently and cultivate diligently. You don’t have to worry about family matters. Just like your aunt, make a new world and strengthen the aspirations of my Fire Nation. This way, I will be satisfied.”
The Fire Sovereign did not ask her to stay. He knew that his daughter would one day spread her wings and soar when she grew up. He could not always restrain her. Just like back then, when he sent his biological sister to the Heavenly Saint Mountain, the feeling of parting was extremely torturous.
As a father and a brother, even though he was extremely unwilling and wanted to keep his daughter and sister by his side to protect them, he also understood that his strength was limited. When the calamity came, he could not even protect himself, let alone them.
Therefore, the Fire Sovereign was relieved! Especially after this incident, his mentality had changed. Perhaps only by Ye Qiu’s side was Yaya’s best home.
Ye Qiu watched all of this silently and didn’t disturb this scene of father and daughter.
