A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 265

Chapter 265: The Return and the Shock of Zi Lei and Zi You

“Um, thank you for saving me, but I’m curious—do we know each other?”

At that moment, the Violet Thunderfinch whom Wu Yidao had rescued timidly appeared behind him and asked hesitantly.

It was rare to see a peak-stage Immortal King act so shyly, but anyone who witnessed someone effortlessly kill three opponents of equal strength would likely react with a bit of timidity.

Hearing this, Wu Yidao turned around, looked at her, and softly replied,

“We don’t know each other. It’s just that there are strong warriors in your Violet Thunderfinch Clan who are friendly toward me. I couldn’t stand by and watch, so I intervened.”

“Oh, I see. Let me introduce myself—call me Zi Qian, fellow Daoist. May I ask what I should call you?”

Hearing Wu Yidao’s words, Zi Qian finally relaxed and quickly responded.

“Just call me Daoist Wu. Let’s go; it’s not wise to stay here long. I’ll escort you back first, then we can talk.”

Wu Yidao said with a serious expression. Zi Qian nodded solemnly in agreement and then followed him as he headed toward the Violet Thunderfinch Clan territory.

Meanwhile, atop Buzhou Mountain, in a place bathed in light, lay the territory of the Holy Light Eagle Clan. Inside the Soul Lamp Hall of the Holy Light Eagles, a series of loud pounding noises rang out repeatedly. When the hall master opened his eyes and saw the scene, his expression turned extremely grim.

“Damn it! Another Demon Clan has dared to attack one of our Holy Light Eagle Immortal Kings!”

With that, the hall master of the Soul Lamp Hall flew out of the hall, heading straight for the site where Wu Yidao had slain the three fallen Holy Light Eagles.

Elsewhere, after picking up Zi Qian, Wu Yidao showed no signs of letting his guard down. He pressed forward with all his strength, racing back toward the Violet Thunderfinch Clan. Soon, they arrived safely within the clan’s territory.

He knew all too well that the Holy Light Eagle Clan would not sit idly by. Those were three peak-stage Immortal Kings! The clan would surely send reinforcements swiftly.

At the same time, inside the Violet Thunderfinch Clan, Zi Lei and Zi You were preparing to discuss the matter of the strange beasts when Zi You suddenly sensed something, raising her eyebrows in surprise.

“Why are they back again?”

“Sister, what do you mean by that?”

Zi Lei, however, was somewhat puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Zi You sighed and said,

“That human clan member from earlier is back again. Wait, no—Zi Qian is with him.”

Zi You’s expression changed instantly. The next moment, she waved her hand, and Wu Yidao and Zi Qian were brought directly before her.

Clearly still a bit surprised, Wu Yidao and Zi Qian had not yet fully recovered from the shock, but when they saw Zi Lei and Zi You, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“Daoist Wu, what exactly is going on here?” Zi Lei asked with some curiosity.

Before Wu Yidao could respond, Zi Qian couldn’t help but speak up indignantly,

“Clan Leader, Elder Zi Lei, let me explain. On the way back, I was attacked by the Holy Light Eagle Clan. Luckily, Daoist Wu happened to pass by, or else I would have been cut down by them.”

“What! The audacity of the Holy Light Eagle Clan, daring to lay hands on my Violet Thunderfinch Clan!”

Zi Lei’s face filled with fury. The Violet Thunderfinch Clan and Holy Light Eagle Clan had long-standing enmity, and now with the Holy Light Eagles attacking Zi Qian, Zi Lei couldn’t hold back anymore. Just as she was about to say something, Zi You calmly interjected.

Her face remained composed as she spoke slowly,

“Enough, it’s good that nothing serious happened. As for the Holy Light Eagle Clan, the Violet Thunderfinch Clan will have its final battle with them eventually. What’s most important right now is how the task I assigned you is going?”

“Eh? Sister, did you ask Zi Qian to do something?”

Surprise showed on Zi Lei’s face, clearly curious about what she hadn’t been told.

Zi Qian recalled the matter and quickly replied,

“Clan Leader, I’ve already inquired. The Bai Ze Clan said this is not a being from the Upper Realm.”

“Bai Ze?”

Upon hearing Zi Qian’s words, surprise spread across both Wu Yidao’s and Zi Lei’s faces. Clearly, both were familiar with the Bai Ze.

Upon hearing this, Zi You’s expression grew extremely solemn. If the creature that attacked the Violet Thunderfinch Clan earlier was not from the Upper Realm, then this matter might become quite complicated.

“Sister, did you have Zi Qian consult the Bai Ze Clan about the information on the creature that attacked our Violet Thunderfinch Clan?” Zi Lei looked at Zi You, her tone also becoming grave.

Zi You nodded in response. She first glanced at Wu Yidao, then slowly said, “This matter is critical for our Violet Thunderfinch Clan. I believe we must investigate thoroughly.”

At that moment, Wu Yidao spoke up.

“I’m quite curious. The Bai Ze Clan is rumored to possess the ability to discern all mysteries through divination and calculation. So I’m very curious—what kind of creature could be so elusive that even the Bai Ze Clan can’t see through it?”

“Daoist Wu, this matter is very serious. I hope you won’t spread this information,” Zi Lei said, bowing respectfully toward Wu Yidao.

Wu Yidao nodded in acknowledgment.

“I would never be foolish enough to leak another clan’s secrets. I’m simply curious,” he replied.

Hearing this, Zi Lei first glanced at Zi You before extending her hand and summoning a corpse from her inner world. It was clearly the creature that had attacked the Violet Thunderfinch Clan earlier.

Seeing the being, Wu Yidao’s expression turned extremely grave. As the Holy Son of the Chaos Holy Land, he naturally understood the various races across the Upper Realm very well, yet here he encountered a creature he did not recognize. The situation was becoming quite interesting.

“This creature’s body contains no causal connections to anything in the Upper Realm. Even using divination to analyze it is impossible—it’s as if it appeared out of thin air,” Zi You said solemnly. For someone at her Immortal Emperor level, to be unable to trace the creature’s origins was baffling.

Wu Yidao pondered for a moment. Soon, as if struck by a sudden flash of insight, his expression grew extremely serious as he said, “What if this creature doesn’t belong to the Upper Realm? Is it possible that it comes from beyond the Upper Realm?”

Hearing Wu Yidao’s words, Zi Lei, Zi You, and Zi Qian exchanged glances, each seeing the shock ripple in the others’ eyes.

Indeed, the possibility existed—albeit a small one.

“Daoist Wu, why do you say that?”

Zi Lei looked at Wu Yidao and said seriously, “Fellow Daoist Zi, you should remember that you previously told me you came to Buzhou Mountain because of a certain matter, right?”

Hearing this, Zi Lei quickly recalled the incident and said with some surprise, “So, Fellow Daoist Wu, you came here because of that matter?”

Wu Yidao lowered his head in thought for a moment before sighing and raising his head to reply, “No, it’s not because of that matter, but it is also because of that matter.”
