Chapter 2038: Thunder Jade Pendant

Translator: Legge 

Great Jin Immortal Kingdom, Solar Luna County.

In a dense forest outside Cangyu City, the mountains were continuous and the walls were extremely steep.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the void above a mountain peak and four figures descended. They were the Thunder Emperor, Perfected Immortal Burial Night, Su Zimo and Feng Ziyi.

“Where am I?”

Su Zimo descended and looked around.

Perfected Immortal Burial Night took out a map and compared it carefully. After pondering for a moment, he said, “Given the teleportation distance of this Major Transference Talisman, we must have already left the range of Green Cloud County.”

“This should be Solar Luna County, somewhere near Cangyu City. We’re safe for the time being.”

“Thank you, old friend,”

The Thunder Emperor patted Perfected Immortal Burial Night on the shoulder and said emotionally, “It’s been more than 400,000 years since we last met.”

“I’m old now,”

Perfected Immortal Burial Night said softly.

To begin with, he did not have much lifespan left. Now that he was severely injured after this battle, his remaining lifespan must have been cut significantly further.

Even if he recuperates in the future, he might not be able to live for long.

Perfected Immortals had a lifespan of 500,000 years.

If not for the fact that the Thunder Emperor was half a step into the Grotto-heaven realm back then and his lifespan had increased to 1,000,000 years, he should be similar to Perfected Immortal Burial Night by now.

Both of them came from Tianhuang Mainland and ascended together back then. They fought countless battles side by side and experienced life and death—this was a feeling that no one else could understand.

“I’m sorry,”

As though he recalled something, Perfected Immortal Burial Night’s tone turned deep as he said, “I didn’t take good care of Yunzhou.”

Feng Yunzhou was the Thunder Emperor’s only son and Feng Ziyi’s father!

“Yunzhou, that child…”

The Thunder Emperor had a dejected expression and his eyes revealed a deep sadness.

“How did he die?” After a long silence, the Thunder Emperor asked.

For the past year, the Thunder Emperor had only heard some fragmented news and knew that his son was killed by the heir of King Jin. However, he did not know the details.

Perfected Immortal Burial Night glanced at Feng Ziyi and hesitated for a moment before recounting the past.

After the Thunder Emperor was suppressed, Perfected Immortal Burial Night and Feng Yunzhou established Remnant Night. Under the lead of the two of them, they often looked for trouble with the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and took revenge fanatically with endless assassination attempts.

In the most serious case, a County Governor of the Great Jin Dynasty was assassinated, causing the Immortal Kingdom to be shaken and King Jin was enraged.

Thereafter, the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom obtained news from somewhere and captured Lu Xuansu, Feng Yunzhou’s Dao companion and Feng Ziyi’s mother.

The heir of King Jin made use of this opportunity to force Feng Yunzhou to appear and fight openly.

Both of them were Perfected Immortal experts at that time and were even peerless monster incarnates among Perfected Immortals. This battle was also watched by everyone.

It was an earthshaking battle and even the world lost its luster.

In the end, Feng Yunzhou was the one who gained the upper hand.

Seeing that the prince of King Jin was in a critical situation, an Execution Guard of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom deliberately suppressed Lu Xuansu and killed her in front of Feng Yunzhou!

At that point, Perfected Immortal Burial Night sighed gently and could not continue.

At the side, Feng Ziyi was already in tears.

Su Zimo was silent.

There was no room for distraction in a fight between top cultivators.

A single mistake could result in victory and death!

It was impossible to imagine the psychological impact on Feng Yunzhou as he watched the Execution Guard kill Lu Xuansu.

It was naturally not hard to imagine that Feng Yunzhou would be defeated and killed.

Su Zimo looked at Feng Ziyi.

Back then, this woman saw her parents suffer such a vicious attack with her own eyes. It must have left an irrecoverable wound in her heart.

At that moment, Su Zimo suddenly understood her coldness, her guardedness, her reticence and her fearlessness towards death…

Feng Ziyi did not trust anyone and was guarded. It was not only because she had cultivated the Dao of assassination, but also because she had suffered such a huge blow in the past.

No matter how severely injured Feng Ziyi was, she did not seem to feel any pain and was expressionless the entire time.

Perhaps it was because any pain was far less than a fraction of the pain in her heart.

Suddenly, Su Zimo felt a sense of pity for Feng Ziyi.

The Thunder Emperor grit his teeth and gripped his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

He tried his best to catch his breath before calming down.

After being suppressed for more than 400,000 years, he had experienced and endured too much as well.

Nothing could shake his heart anymore!

The Thunder Emperor turned around and merely looked at Feng Ziyi opposite him emotionally. His heart ached and he was at a loss as his eyes reddened.

Feng Ziyi’s expression was extremely complicated as well, as though she did not dare to meet the Thunder Emperor’s gaze. She opened her mouth, as though she wanted to say something.

However, she could not bring herself to address him.

After all, this was the first actual meeting between the two of them.

“Are you really the child of Yunzhou and Xuansu?”

The Thunder Emperor’s voice trembled.

He had been suppressed in the Ten Absolute Hell for more than 400,000 years and did not know of Feng Ziyi’s existence at all.

Feng Ziyi nodded in a small and imperceptible manner.

She opened her mouth again and called out softly, “Grandpa.”

Although the voice was soft, it was extremely clear in the Thunder Emperor’s ears, causing his heart to skip a beat. He hurried forward and hugged Feng Ziyi, saying tragically, “Good child, good child!”

Actually, back in the Ten Absolute Hell, the Thunder Emperor noticed Feng Ziyi’s existence.

In fact, he could sense an inexplicable familiarity from Feng Ziyi.

However, he had just escaped and was fighting against many Perfected Immortals and was in no mood to think about such things.

When Perfected Immortal Burial Night saw that, he smiled in a rare manner and said, “Now that I’ve seen you guys reunite, I can finally rest easy and die without regrets.”

“I’ll leave Ziyi in your care from now on,”

When he heard that, the Thunder Emperor shuddered and separated from Feng Ziyi, as though he recalled something.

The Thunder Emperor first took out two jade pendants from his storage bag and placed them on his glabella. He injected a power of thunder and gave them to Su Zimo and Feng Ziyi.

“Take this jade pendant with you,”

The Thunder Emperor said.

Although Su Zimo was puzzled, he still hung the jade pendant on his waist.

The Thunder Emperor said, “The two of you have already escaped but were found by the Execution Guards because a commander of the Heaven Execution Guards know a tracking technique.”

“This tracking technique uses fresh blood as a medium and is known as the Blood Guidance secret skill. As long as your bloodline is leaked, the other party will control it to track you down.”

Su Zimo’s eyes revealed a look of realization.

It was no wonder why they were quickly found by Prince Yuan Zuo despite their escape. It was because the two of them were injured in the main hall of the prince’s residence and their bloodlines were leaked.

“Although this jade pendant is ordinary, it contains my thunder aura and can sever the power of the Blood Guidance secret skill. You guys have to carry it with you at all times.”

The Thunder Emperor instructed, “When your cultivation realms reach a certain level like the Heaven Essence realm, you can remove this jade pendant.”
