“Desolate Heaven Emperor, we finally meet…”
Zhu Tiancé raised his eyebrows, a cunning smile gradually appearing at the corner of his mouth.
He had two objectives for coming to Cang Mang Mountain Range this time.
One was to obtain the inheritance of the Supreme Hall.
The second was to visit Stone Village and observe the Original True Understanding.
Although the villagers of Stone Village were simple and hospitable, he was going there to see Liu Shen this time.
Liu Shen was the Spirit of Sacrifice of Stone Village, with a noble status.
Presumably, those villagers would not easily allow a stranger like him to approach.
Therefore, he needed a guide.
And he had already decided on the guide: the young Shi Hao, who was currently posting notices to find his family!
“Haha~!
It’s really Zhu Yan’s nirvana!
Zhu Tiancé, come quickly and look!
This Zhu Yan, after nirvana, is so fluffy and cute!”
Huo Ling’er’s voice came from the collapsed barren mountain in the distance.
Her exclamation instantly attracted Shi Hao, who was rushing towards them.
Shi Hao noticed people near the destroyed Stone Village and immediately flew over at a low altitude on his Azure Scaled Eagle.
Zhu Tiancé also hurried over quickly.
The two arrived at Huo Ling’er’s location almost simultaneously.
“Which village are you from?
Why are you here?”
Shi Hao eyed Zhu Tiancé and Huo Ling’er warily, while the Azure Scaled Eagle crouched beside him, ready to attack at any moment.
“So it’s just a little brat, I thought some primordial fierce beast had arrived!”
Huo Ling’er patted her chest in relief when she saw that the newcomer was just a six or seven-year-old child from the countryside.
When the Azure Scaled Eagle flew over just now, she thought some powerful primordial fierce beast had come to snatch the mountain treasure.
Turns out it was just a spirit pet raised by a little brat!
It really scared her to death.
“I don’t think either of you are much older than me.”
Shi Hao pouted, muttering unhappily.
Then he turned to glance at Zhu Tiancé, who was standing beside Huo Ling’er.
Seeing that neither of them seemed to bear any ill will, he turned and headed for the destroyed ancestral land of Stone Village.
He had specifically come out to leave a message for his Father and Mother, and couldn’t delay important matters.
“Hmph~, he left without even explaining himself.
What a little brat.”
Huo Ling’er saw Shi Hao leave and ignored him.
Instead, she turned to Zhu Tiancé and asked, “Zhu Tiancé, the commotion from your fight with Zhu Yan was too big.
We should leave quickly.”
The exotic treasure that countless primordial fierce beasts had been fighting over was now theirs, and they had even picked up a supreme being after its nirvana along the way.
The harvest from this trip had far exceeded her imagination.
She now only wanted to return quickly to her imperial father to show off and receive his praise.
However, Zhu Tiancé had other plans at the moment.
He hadn’t even visited his “big wife” in Stone Village yet; how could he go back first?
“No hurry.
We might need this little brat to open that bone box.”
Zhu Tiancé walked over and flicked Huo Ling’er’s nose, then turned and followed Shi Hao’s footsteps.
“What?
That little brat’s cultivation might not even be as high as mine.
How could he open that bone box?”
Huo Ling’er looked down at Zhu Yan, who was still sleeping in her arms, and after muttering a few words, she immediately followed.
“Shi Hao.”
Zhu Tiancé caught up to Shi Hao and directly called out his pet name.
Shi Hao’s body stiffened.
He stopped and looked over with a face full of surprise: “You know me?”
The name Shi Hao was only known by the people of Stone Village.
He was very curious how this guy, who was about the same age as him, knew it.
“Yes, not only do I know you, I also know where your parents, Shi Ziling and Qin Yining, are.”
Zhu Tiancé said directly.
He disliked beating around the bush.
He would choose whatever method was most efficient.
And for someone like Shi Hao, being sincere was definitely the best approach.
“Is what you said true?
Do you really know where my Father and Mother are?”
Shi Hao’s tone instantly became excited, and his eyes began to glow as he looked at Zhu Tiancé.
Zhu Tiancé didn’t hide anything.
He directly told Shi Hao about Shi Ziling and Qin Yining being under house arrest in the Qin Family of Bu Lao Mountain.
However, he didn’t mention a single word about the two of them working hard to produce a second child.
He was afraid that the current Shi Hao couldn’t handle such a blow.
Speaking of which, this little guy was also a pitiful soul.
Not only was his bone dug out when he was young, but after his parents abandoned him in Stone Village, they started raising a new account just a few years later.
His parents, on the other hand, were only busy creating new accounts.
It should be known that the higher a cultivator’s cultivation, the lower the probability of conceiving offspring.
Shi Ziling was a prodigy of the Shi clan, and Qin Yining was the former saintess of Bu Lao Mountain.
Their cultivation and talent were not weak in the lower realm.
The possibility of conceiving on the first try must have been extremely slim; it must have taken countless trials and tribulations of “deep and shallow” efforts to create a new account.
It was quite laughable to think about.
“If you don’t believe what I said, you can go back and ask Liu Shen.
She will tell you if what I said is true.”
Zhu Tiancé added another sentence after he finished speaking.
Shi Hao was initially skeptical of Zhu Tiancé’s words and wanted to go back to verify with Grandfather Clan Leader or Liu Shen.
But when he heard Zhu Tiancé say the words “Liu Shen”, the expression on his face instantly froze.
“You, you even know Liu Shen?”
“Otherwise?”
Zhu Tiancé smiled and shrugged, then continued, “To be honest, we came to the Great Wilderness this time to see Liu Shen.
I want to borrow the Original True Understanding from your Stone Village to observe.
Of course, as compensation, I will help you heal Liu Shen’s old injuries.”
“You even know that Liu Shen is injured?”
Shi Hao was stunned.
He had only recently learned about Liu Shen’s injury from Clan Leader Shi Yunfeng.
It was said that Liu Shen had descended to their Stone Village bathed in a sea of thunder.
At that time, Liu Shen was just a lifeless withered tree stump.
Later, after years of nourishment, it gradually gained a trace of vitality, but even now, it had only grown one willow branch.
Shi Hao was not foolish; he knew that Liu Shen must have suffered very serious injuries back then and was currently recovering.
However, their Stone Village had limited resources and couldn’t provide more things to nourish Liu Shen, which was why Liu Shen was recovering so slowly.
If this guy in front of him really had a way to heal Liu Shen’s old injuries, perhaps he could take them back to the village to try.
Anyway, this man and woman didn’t look like bad people.
“Alright, then I’ll take you to see Liu Shen.
I also need to go ask Liu Shen to verify what you just said.”
At this time, Shi Hao was still relatively naive.
After only a brief thought, he readily agreed to Zhu Tiancé.
At Shi Hao’s invitation, Zhu Tiancé and Huo Ling’er also sat on the back of the Azure Scaled Eagle.
The three of them rode the Azure Scaled Eagle together towards the new Stone Village…
Meanwhile.
In a tribal village a hundred thousand li away.
A charred, withered tree stump seemed to sense something, and the willow branch hanging on the ground suddenly emitted a faint divine radiance…
