Chapter 213: Is My Father Really Alive?



"Zi Yan, if you don't want to be burdened with all these responsibilities and don't want to be the Dragon Emperor, there is actually a way. But..."

"But what?"

Zi Yan became anxious when Gu Fei stopped halfway through his sentence. She grabbed his arm and shook it vigorously, "Tell me, what is the way? Don't keep me in suspense!"

"Zi Yan, do you really want to know?" Gu Fei smiled, his eyes locking onto Zi Yan's bright ones as he spoke seriously.

"Brother Gu Fei, if I don't become the Dragon Emperor, there's no one in the tribe who can command respect!" Zi Yan's tone became somber. She knew that without someone with royal blood to lead, the Dragon Tribe would eventually split apart again. Therefore, no matter how difficult it was, she had to continue as the Dragon Emperor.

"Maybe, there's someone who can command more respect than you! Someone even more suited to lead the Ancient Void Dragon Clan."

Gu Fei smiled.

"Who?"

Zi Yan knew Gu Fei wouldn't joke about something like this, so she became serious.

"Your father!"

"What? My father?" Zi Yan was stunned by his words.

Her memories of her father were almost nonexistent. From what she could remember, she had lived in the forest, leading a beast-like life. Until one day, she accidentally consumed a Transformation Herb and was taken to the Jia Nan Academy by the elder Su Qian. Over the years, she had held a grudge, always wondering why her parents abandoned her.

As for her father, she had only heard about him from the tribe elders, knowing he was the previous Dragon Emperor, but he had disappeared many years ago. From that point on, the Ancient Void Dragon Tribe began to decline, constantly plagued by internal strife.

"Brother Gu Fei, are you saying my father is still alive?" Zi Yan's eyes reddened as she asked urgently.

"He is indeed still alive! Do you want to see him?" Gu Fei nodded.

"...Yes..." Zi Yan hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly.

"Alright, since you want to see him, I'll take you there!"Ne/w novel chapters are p/u/blished on no/vel(/bin(.)c/o/m

With that, Gu Fei took Zi Yan's hand and led her out of Ancient Dragon Island.

She had spent a long time in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower before. If her father had always been at the bottom of the tower, it would indeed be a twist of fate. But the bottom of the tower was full of scorching magma. Could anyone even survive in such a place?

"He's down below. Follow me!"

Gu Fei took Zi Yan's small hand again, and a heavenly flame emerged, protecting them both.

Zi Yan savored the feeling of Gu Fei holding her hand, wishing it could last forever. Soon, they entered the scorching magma sea below.

The surrounding magma evaporated as soon as it approached within half a meter of them, clearly no match for Gu Fei's flame.

As they descended deeper, they encountered the fire lizard race that Gu Fei had faced before. The last time he was here, he had been somewhat cautious, but now, having reached the Three-Star Dou Saint level, he had no fear.

"These creatures are strange! Do they always live at the bottom of this magma? Why don't they go outside?" Zi Yan asked curiously, seeing these creatures for the first time.

"They have a duty to fulfill!"

"What duty?"

"Guarding something below!" Gu Fei explained with a smile.

With that, he stomped lightly, and a vast soul force erupted from his brow. Instantly, the surrounding magma exploded, and the strange figures hidden within screamed in agony.

"Hiss!"

As these screams echoed, the magma around them began to churn violently. Then, Gu Fei saw countless crimson figures surging towards them, surrounding them completely.

Outside the encirclement, two lizardmen with milky-white bodies appeared. They looked much older than the others and had reached the half-saint level!

"Humans, this is the Ancient God's Mansion. It is not a place you can enter!"

"Leave quickly, or if you awaken the guardian, you will be buried here forever!" One of the white lizardmen spoke, though its words were somewhat broken, its voice still reached Gu Fei

and Zi Yan clearly.

"Ancient God's Mansion? What is that? And who is the guardian?" Zi Yan was full of

confusion. But thinking about why Gu Fei brought her here, she couldn't help but wonder, could the guardian be her father?
