A Millionfold Return: My Children Cultivate Immortality, I Become a God - Chapter 267

Chapter 267: The Emotional Entanglement Between Chen Zian and Zi You

“In fact, that was a very long time ago, around thirty million years back. At that time, my sister hadn’t yet broken through to Immortal Emperor; she was only at the peak of Immortal Venerable.”

“One day, a cultivator from the Human Clan accidentally came into our Violet Thunderfinch Clan territory and, by chance, stayed with us for a while. You’ve probably guessed—this person was the Chen Zian you mentioned earlier.”

“That was also the first time my sister ever had contact with an outsider cultivator. Naturally, my sister fell in love with Chen Zian. But shortly after she confessed her feelings, Chen Zian suddenly disappeared from the clan territory.”

“So my sister believed Chen Zian looked down on her, which is why he left. Over the years, she has harbored a lot of resentment toward him, but she never got another chance to see him again.”

Zi Lei’s tone was quiet and distant as she spoke.

Hearing this, Wu Yidao awkwardly scratched his nose. Although he was not Chen Zian himself, he had inherited Chen Zian’s legacy, so learning this story made him feel a bit uneasy about facing Zi You.

“All right, anyway, you don’t need to worry about this anymore. The most important thing now is to first locate the Ancient Star Road that you mentioned. I also suspect that Chen Zian’s disappearance back then might have been related to him entering the Ancient Star Road.”

Zi Lei’s voice took on a serious tone, and Wu Yidao nodded in agreement.

“I’ll also send other clan members to search for the Ancient Star Road. We’ll try to find it as soon as possible.”

After saying this, Zi Lei left immediately, clearly planning to consult with Zi You about the details.

Wu Yidao glanced around, thinking deeply for a moment before slowly speaking,

“Chaos, come out—I have some questions for you.”

As soon as Wu Yidao finished speaking, Chaos flew out from inside his body, landing in front of him.

“Oh my, I thought it would take you longer to realize, but you’ve uncovered it so quickly,” Chaos said with a playful glint in his eyes.

Wu Yidao had no time to respond to Chaos’s expression. After hearing those words, his face turned extremely serious.

“So, the instability of space around Buzhou Mountain is really because of problems with the Ancient Star Road?”

“Yes, there is indeed a problem with the Ancient Star Road. Those strange beasts have also broken through from the Ancient Star Road into the Upper Realm—you can call them star beasts.”

Chaos’s expression remained calm because this was something he could handle quite easily.

Hearing this, Wu Yidao fell into deep thought, pondering how to resolve the matter. But soon, an idea came to him, and he looked at Chaos, asking,

“So, do you know the direction of the Ancient Star Road?”

“Of course I do. It’s over there. But with your current cultivation level, are you really capable of handling it?”

Chaos pointed to the north of the Violet Thunderfinch Clan’s territory as he spoke.

Wu Yidao glanced in that direction too. After a long moment, he sighed and said,

“I’ll have to go see for myself. If I can’t resolve it, then I’ll have to let you step in.”

“Fine. If you can’t handle it, then leave it to me,” Chaos replied, then returned inside Wu Yidao’s body. In fact, his outlook on this was much like Wu Hao’s—they would first see if Wu Yidao could manage on his own, and only intervene if absolutely necessary.

After all, if they stepped in and cleared all obstacles for Wu Yidao, it would rob him of the experience and growth this challenge offered, which would be very detrimental to his development.

“Let’s check out the situation around the Ancient Star Road first,” Wu Yidao decided, then set off toward the direction Chaos had indicated.

Meanwhile, over with Zi You, Wu Yidao’s words stirred up long-buried memories, and her expression grew deeply complex. She hated Chen Zian—she hated that he never gave her an answer and that he abandoned her and left.

Yet, beneath the anger, she still worried about him. If Zi Lei could think of this, then naturally she could too: she feared Chen Zian might have been affected by the Ancient Star Road and that’s why he disappeared without a word.

Just then, Zi Lei silently came to her side and softly said,

“Sister, I know you still hold a grudge against Zian because of what happened back then, but it seems he didn’t do it intentionally. For now, let’s focus on finding the Ancient Star Road. Once we find it, maybe we can find Zian too.”

“Mm, I understand,” Zi You replied, taking a deep breath to calm the turmoil inside her. Then she joined Zi Lei in planning how to search for the Ancient Star Road.

On the other side,

“Hmph! Damn it, how dare the Violet Thunderfinch Clan make a move against my Holy Light Eagle Clan!”

The Soul Lamp Hall Master of the Holy Light Eagle Clan stood at the spot where Wu Yidao had slain three Holy Light Eagles. With a mere wave of his hand, time around him swiftly rewound, and soon the afterimages of Wu Yidao killing those three Eagles appeared.

Although the Soul Lamp Hall Master didn’t know much about Wu Yidao’s background, he clearly saw that Wu Yidao had attacked the members of the Holy Light Eagle Clan because of the Violet Thunderfinch behind him.

Thinking this, the Soul Lamp Hall Master’s expression grew extremely sour. Yet he knew this wasn’t the time to confront the Violet Thunderfinch Clan for an explanation. For now, he should return and report the matter to the Clan Leader and wait for a decision.

Soon, the Soul Lamp Hall Master returned to the Holy Light Eagle Clan with this news and informed the Ancestors.

Upon hearing that the Violet Thunderfinch Clan had actually slain three of their peak Immortal King members, the Holy Light Eagle Clan Leader’s expression darkened immediately.

“Clan Leader, the Violet Thunderfinch Clan is acting so arrogantly. If we overlook this matter, our reputation within Buzhou Mountain will surely suffer a serious blow,” the Soul Lamp Hall Master said gravely.

Around them, the Elders of the Holy Light Eagle Clan heard the news and gathered quickly, all looking to the Clan Leader while volunteering.

“Clan Leader, please launch a full-scale war against the Violet Thunderfinch Clan to restore our clan’s honor!”

“Yes, Clan Leader. If we go to war, I volunteer to be the first to charge!”

“Clan Leader, let’s act now!”

Hearing the Elders’ words, the Holy Light Eagle Clan Leader’s face grew complicated. After a long pause, he spoke slowly.

“Given the current state of our Holy Light Eagle Clan, it’s clearly unwise to go to war with the Violet Thunderfinch Clan. But we do have another option: demand the Violet Thunderfinch Clan hand over those who killed our clan members.”

“This way, not only can we reclaim the dignity of the Holy Light Eagle Clan, but we can also demonstrate that the Violet Thunderfinch Clan is inferior to us.”
