Chapter 1228: Chapter 1228: Reunion with Grandfather
After the Divine Demon Avatar defeated Yang Dong, he returned to the Denor Main Star with the two of them.
Actually, they did not know that Xu Nian only displayed a portion of his power. If Xu Nian showed his full strength, Yang Dong would have no chance to fight back.
As the Divine Demon Avatar returned to the Denor Main Star to prepare for the Immortal Order Competition in a dozen days.
Xu Nian himself and Lin Ruolan arrived once again at the Ghost Alliance.
Hong Cheng had long awaited at the city gate, for now the Ghost Alliance was left with only him at Earth Immortal Peak.
This pair of Xu Nian and Lin Ruolan he cannot possibly resist against, so he dared not to oppose Xu Nian’s group any longer.
"Both of you have arrived, I’ve been waiting for quite some time." Hong Cheng immediately greeted with a smile.
He found his attitude towards Xu Nian and Lin Ruolan becoming more humble, yet had no choice, as his brothers offended them.
Now he can only hope these two do not anger at the Ghost Alliance, otherwise the alliance would face annihilation.
"Alliance Leader Hong, no need for formalities, grievances have their own origins, we are not unreasonable. We won’t hold your brothers’ grudge against you." Xu Nian said.
"Thank you so much, I apologize on behalf of my brothers for their actions." Hong Cheng said with a smile.
Xu Nian smiled slightly, just about to speak again.
Lin Ruolan next to him said impatiently: "Aren’t we here to find someone? What’s with all the idle talk?"
Xu Nian immediately felt embarrassed and asked Hong Cheng, "By the way, Alliance Leader Hong, I remember you mentioned there are two people in the Ghost Alliance from another world, can you take us to see them?"
"Certainly, please allow me to lead the way." Hong Cheng quickly responded, and immediately began walking towards the city, leading the way.
Xu Nian and Lin Ruolan followed behind.
Soon, under Hong Cheng’s guidance, they arrived in front of a courtyard.
"Here is the residence of those two from another world!" Hong Cheng said.
Xu Nian directly pushed open the door to the courtyard and walked inside.
"Eh?"
Soon Xu Nian noticed the people inside the courtyard.
"Grandfather!"
Xu Nian exclaimed in surprise.
Unexpectedly, one of those two was his grandfather Xu Tianxu.
Back then, Xu Nian was able to reunite with his mother due to his grandfather protecting her fiercely.
Then he went to the Xu Family, and his grandfather also shielded him strongly.
Later Xu Nian left Heavenly Dragon Continent and never saw his grandfather again.
Unexpectedly, he saw his grandfather here once more.
At this moment Xu Tianxu’s hair and beard were white, appearing extremely old, his cultivation not only did not progress but regress to Marquis Level.
Beside him, there was a young woman about the same age as Xu Nian.
This young woman was extremely beautiful in appearance, though not as striking as Lin Ruolan, she had a poised aura that made people feel amiable.
"Xu... Xu Nian?" Xu Tianxu was surprised to see Xu Nian, shocked to meet him here again.
Xu Tianxu seemed extremely excited.
"Grandfather!" Xu Nian exclaimed excitedly, approaching with tears welling up in his eyes.
Looking at his greatly aged grandfather, Xu Nian felt a pang of heartache.
"Child, it really is you. I never thought I, Xu Tianxu, could see you again in my lifetime." Xu Tianxu said emotionally, touching Xu Nian’s face with tears in his eyes.
The young woman also appeared surprised by Xu Nian’s identity, with a hint of astonishment on her face.
"Grandfather, why are you hurt like this, and why has your cultivation regressed?" Xu Nian quickly asked.
"My cultivation is not important, it’s due to a fire deviation during cultivation. But what brings you here, weren’t you in the Cultivation World?" Xu Tianxu said, yet his gaze seemed evasive.
Xu Nian immediately realized his grandfather was lying.
"I returned from Cultivation World, and found none of you were on the continent, so I followed clues to come here." Xu Nian quickly said.
He was puzzled as to why his grandfather would hide his injuries.
Clearly, his grandfather’s injury was the reason for his cultivation regression, how could it be fire deviation?
"By the way, this is your cousin Xu Shang. You haven’t met before, she used to be the most talented figure in our Xu Family." Xu Tianxu pointed to the woman beside him, introducing her to Xu Nian.
"Cousin?" Xu Nian showed a hint of surprise.
Not expecting this young woman turned out to be his cousin.
The most crucial element is, Xu Nian discovered her cultivation had reached Earth Immortal Realm.
When did the Xu Family have such a talented person?
"I heard of your name long ago, and to meet you today proves to be remarkable. Do not be surprised by my cultivation, I was taken to this world by my Master from a young age, so my cultivation is not constrained by heavenly bounds, thus breaking through to Early Stage Earth Immortal Realm. But your cultivation truly surprises me." Xu Shang said with a smile.
"I see!" Xu Nian suddenly realized.
It turns out the Xu Family’s entrance to this world is related to his cousin.
"Xu Nian greets cousin." Xu Nian said.
"No need for formalities, your grievances with the Xu Family have nothing to do with me, and you are my aunt’s son, therefore you are my brother. Having such a powerful brother is my honor." Xu Shang said with a smile.
Xu Nian smiled slightly and quickly asked, "By the way, grandfather, where is my mother and the others? Why is she not with you?"
Upon these words, the expressions of Xu Tianxu and Xu Shang immediately changed.
"What is it? Did something happen to my mother?" Xu Nian immediately asked.
"Rest assured, your mother is fine for now, but they indeed met with some trouble." Xu Tianxu said.
"What exactly happened?" Xu Nian urgently asked.
"Let me explain, aunt and all powerful figures from Tianhen Continent were captured by the Dark Fire Alliance. They want to force them to reveal the way to Tianhen Continent." Xu Shang said.
Xu Nian’s eyes instantly turned red, a surge of intense killing intent inflated within him.
Both Xu Tianxu and Xu Shang felt startled, this tangible killing intent sent shivers through them.
Next to them, Hong Cheng felt a chill, simultaneously pitying the Dark Fire Alliance.
Previously, when they provoked Xu Nian so repeatedly, Xu Nian was never this angry.
Now, Xu Nian was exceedingly enraged, surely the Dark Fire Alliance would face catastrophic disaster.
"Was grandfather’s injury inflicted by them as well?" Xu Nian asked.
"Correct, they wanted to force grandfather, so they placed numerous restrictions on him, tortured grandfather. I took advantage of their laxity to rescue grandfather." Xu Shang said.
Xu Nian clenched his fist tightly, the air cracked open instantly.
"Dark Fire Alliance, I want none of you left standing." Xu Nian had a murderous aura surging, with eyes filled with intense killing intent.
Everyone around felt a fierce chill down their spine.
