Chapter 740

Chapter 789: 14.65 Last Violet Star – Fan Family and Elder Hou Yi.

The tension between the three of them grows as a result of their son pushing them away. This time, Yun Fan appeared to be the wronged youngster receiving discipline from his parents. He wasn’t accustomed to receiving hugs from his seniors. Even Chun Hongyun-Jun, his master, seemed to have little interest in his disciples. He would only assign them a few lessons and tasks; the rest would be up to them. In addition, Yun Xiajie usually gave off the impression of being distant. Nobody would approach someone like that and request a hug.

Even though he appears to be showing compassion right now, Hei Anjing was the only recipient of all his kindness and affection. Although the others were given some consideration, Chun Hongyun- Jun’s life was only affected by Hei Anjing’s presence.

When they were transported to Crimson Cloud Peak, Yun Fan and Yun Anye were only ever carried once.

So even though Xue Yueguang and Fan Yunya’s hugging Yun Fan earlier made him feel warm, it actually made him feel more uneasy. Yun Fan can hug people his own age or younger without feeling awkward, but not those who are older. He had pushed his folks away just now out of pure impulse because of this.

He appeared to be trying to communicate what he had just done by opening and closing his mouth. He then decides that there is no need to continue speaking and instead holds the robes beneath his hands. Although he was obviously sorry, he was unable to defend himself. Yun Fan was unable to even look his parents in the eyes.

When Yun Fan pushed them away, Xue Yueguang and Fan Yunya felt heartbroken. However, they were more eager to mend their relationship with their son and turned to face him after giving it some thought.

They have been pushed aside before they could see the child’s response. He felt guilty and repentant, yet he was speechless. They were fully aware of how Yun Fan was feeling just now. As they both have similar feelings for Yun Fan, this is certain. When Fan Yunya and Xue Yueguang stared at one another, they instantly understood what the other intended to say and do.

.....

They even knelt down to their son’s eye level as they each took Yun Fan’s hand.

“A’Fan... Do you still remember Dad and Father?” Xue Yueguang kindly asks.

Yun Fan attempted to remove his hands from the enormous hands that were holding them, but he was unable to do so due to his extreme trembling.

Fan Yunya spoke up. “Father and Dad, are sorry. We left you when you were just a baby. We did it because we can only protect you that way. It’s Dad’s and Father’s duty to eliminate the devil race that enters this realm. Only by doing so, can we create a world that would keep you safe at all times. A’Fan please believe us when we say we love you the most.” He made an effort to soften his tone of voice.

“I vow to heaven and earth that Daddy and Father love you more than anything else,” said Xue Yueguang.

Fan Yunya said, “I make a commitment to the heavens as well.”

The heavenly laws keep a record of vows made in the cultivation world. Which, if broken, would bring down a celestial punishment on the offender. It was particularly terrible to these immortal practitioners because their ascension would be impacted by the karma they would accrue while living among humans.

The most important approach for cultivators to express their sentiments and truth is through their vows and oaths. Because for common cultivators, defying it only resulted in death, there was only one possible outcome.

When Yun Fan heard this, he was unable to conceal his anxiety and gazed at his parents with bloodshot eyes.

Yun Fan was still whining about all his fears and didn’t notice the changes in his parents’ features as he continued, “Why did you do that? Is the oath with the heavens a joke? That’s so dangerous! You really don’t need to do that.”

Xue Yueguang and Fan Yunya both had soft smiles on their lips.

“You’re looking at us now!” Xue Yueguang stated. His voice clearly had undertones of joy.

Since this was the first time he had fully seen his son’s face, Fan Yunya was likewise filled with joy.

He observed that his lips and eyebrows were unmistakably his. His sweetheart’s eyes and nose were inherited.

Fan Yunya stated, “A’Fan, you are our beloved child. No matter what we vow, we will absolutely do it. Please forgive us for vanishing for so long.”

As Xue Yueguang studies the face of his child, tears stream down his face. It didn’t even take a year after he gave birth to Yun Fan before they split up. He was caught off guard by the Xie Clan’s sudden link to the Devil Race. He and his husband were taken in by that man’s ruse before he could even report to the Heavenly Domain.

The two of them had lost and spent too much time as a result of this. He had already grown into such a large child before they could even begin to coddle and spoil their son. Yun Fan, their son, was left to fend for himself without parental guidance and even lost his clan. The idea that he was an orphan with no one to turn to must have devastated him. Fortunately, when the Fan Clan suspected something was wrong with their disappearance, they pleaded with the Lan Zhuayun Sect (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect). They must not have anticipated that wicked and cunning man, who has an angel’s face but a devil’s heart would completely destroy them.

Who would have guessed Jin Baihua, who appears so innocent and pure, would have a wicked heart? Awful enough to involve oneself with both the devil race and Cao Rumin, a demonic cultivator. Both of these people were horrible individuals.

The specifics weren’t disclosed to Yun Fan, however... He was assisted in his assessment of what was occurring in Death Valley by Yun Anjie and Yun Xing. Even though they had to practice confronting the undead, they occasionally overheard some things that were happening in the central region thanks to Zhi Yue’s loose tongue. They had heard that his parents might be held here for quite a while, especially given that they had been missing for more than ten years. Who would have imagined that they would be imprisoned in hidden facilities that no one had known about for so long?

Xue Yueguang and Fan Yunya knelt down in front of Yun Fan, and Yun Fan couldn’t help but embrace them.

Yun Fan replied, “Dad, Father, welcome back! I... forgive you. No need to apologize. I know... I know that you two had... Suffered for so long.”

His smile was accompanied by some tears. Despite his amusing appearance, nobody laughs at him.

Hugging their kid, Xue Yueguang and Fan Yunya did so. All of their longing and overwhelming love for their only son, Yun Fan, was present in their embrace. This three-person family had been hugging each other for quite some time.

At the borders of Death Valley...

These two, who had just stepped out from the ship, were now circling above the valley’s desolate edges. They watched the Fan Family reunion while they were on the flying ship deck observing the scene through the system’s privilege.

Zhi Yue was visibly moved as he peered at the dramatic situation. Even his nose is covered with a handkerchief as he appears to be watching a heartfelt crying scene in a Korean drama. Zhi Yang could only stare over him helplessly. After a few words with him as a system, he learned that his alter ego had been heavily impacted by his Master, Lord Hei’s fun attitude.

Sigh~

“Okay. Enough peeking. Get ready they are here,” said Zhi Yang.

“I know, I notice them too, okay?” Zhi Yue said.

“You represent my lord and I will represent Lord God Ye. Since no one knows that I serve Lord Hei and you serve the Lord God in this realm, let’s switch duties.” Zhi Yang questioned. “Is that acceptable, Yue’er?”

“I’m fine with everything,” Zhi Yue chuckled as he threw aside his handkerchief.

As soon as they noticed them flying close to the borders, a small group of cultivators riding on their flying mounts approached them shortly after they’d finished talking. Only the one in lead is wearing silver armor, with the majority of them donning bronze. Their captain is this knight in shining armor, a cultivator with the last name Hou.

These individuals are undoubtedly cultivators from the Hou Long Sect, despite the fact that they looked more like knights with their attire (Red Dragon Sect). They are from the capital and work for the Royal Family, as evidenced by the black dragon symbol on their crimson capes.

They received daily updates regarding world happenings. As a result, they are already aware of the existence of Hei Anjing and the two servants of Chun Hongyun-Jun and Mo Bing Jingling-Jun. Cultivators with identical twin appearances but different personalities. Zhi Yue was a happy-go-lucky person with a big mouth. In contrast to Zhi Yue, Zhi Yang was the total opposite. He has a quiet demeanor and uses few words.

They are instantly recognized by them because of their robes. They both wore black robes as they concealed themselves as assassins or informants. While Zhi Yue has a pattern of snowflakes on his robes, Zhi Yang has a design of clouds. This indicates which master they are under.

An elder surnamed Hou wearing silver armor stopped before Zhi Yang and Zhi Yue. He cupped his hands in greeting which the two had returned.

“Greetings to Daoist Zhi Yue and Daoist Zhi Yang. This one is from the borders,” said the silver-armored cultivator. “My surname is Hou, and my name is Yi. The responsibility of keeping an eye on this forbidden land is on me. I heard that Chun Hongyun-Jun and his Dao Companion, Mo Bing Jingling-Jun, had entered this territory and found an unknown mansion at the center of the land. Is this true?” he asked.

Zhi Yue replied, “Yes, there is a mansion in the middle of this valley. However, if you are looking for the lords, you are doomed to failure because they have already left the valley after their disciples have completed their training.”

The (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect used the justification of “Practical Training” to obtain permission for Chun Hongyun-Jun and his company to reach Death Valley. Naturally, they were able to obtain this authorization after bringing up Chun Hongyun- Jun’s name and the existence of Hei Anjing, the Immortal One from the higher realm.

“We came by to inform the Lords, but if they already left then this problem is solved. However, another issue needs to be looked into.” Elder Hou Yi said, “If the Lords had taken their leave safely then there would be no problem. But I’m afraid there’s a sudden change in the valley, and we’ve detected a large number of undead gathering at a single point on the map.”

Zhi Yang responded, “Are you talking about how the undead gathered at the center? It must be because of that mansion that suddenly appeared. The lords had checked it and discovered that a Demonic Cultivator named Cao Rumin was living there. He is creating a living corpse with consciousness and has also kidnapped quite a few common people. We were tasked to stay here and assist with the cleanup,” he said.

“Lord Hei and Lord Yun had killed the man,” Zhi Yue interrupted their conversation and said, “The Demonic Cultivator had been killed. The lords actually wanted to help with the cleanup but found some relatives among the captives. They’ve brought them back for treatment. But don’t worry-it is our task to help you clean up.”

Finally, realize the reason why Zhi Yue and Zhi Yang suddenly appeared at the borders is that the two of them are simply waiting for him to suddenly emerge. Isn’t the clean-up in their mouths difficult to achieve and they need a lot of people to fight all those zombies?

Thoughts of Elder Hou Yi: ‘I honestly didn’t realize how powerful Zhi Yang and Zhi Yue are. But their might would undoubtedly be sufficient because their lords had ordered them to aid us.’

“Will ask for the assistance of the two Daoists!” said Elder Yi.
