After the first round of the semifinals ended, the victorious teams were extremely excited as they ran to the restaurants in the city to drink and celebrate. As for those who failed, many of them left the Space Capital overnight. Flame originally wanted to leave overnight, but was pulled by his younger brother into a dark room.
Huo Lie frowned as he looked at his younger brother. He was puzzled as he said, "There's no difference between leaving tonight and leaving tomorrow morning. I don't want to spend the night here …"
Huo Yue sighed, and said: "Big Brother, I don't want to stay here either, but, I want to go see Grandfather."
"Grandfather?" Huo Lie coldly snorted, and angrily said, "Do you still remember this grandfather? If it wasn't for him, how could his father have died? If you want to see him, go by yourself. I don't want to see him again. " After saying that, he thought of something and added, "Tomorrow morning, we'll wait at the teleport gate's place. If you come late, we won't be waiting for you."
"Big brother, I understand." Huo Yue hurriedly said, "I just took a glance at Grandfather, and I'll be back very soon."
After leaving the courtyard, Huo Yue quickly headed towards the Nonsectarian Cultivator Alliance Palace. As he was also a disciple of the Alliance, the guards did not obstruct him. After passing through a few corridors, Huo Yue finally reached the foot of the mountain. Looking at the mountain in front of him, he took out a jade pendant from the storage bag and made a few hand seals. Then, an extremely weak flame came out of the jade pendant and flew toward the back mountain not far away.
A moment later, an old man wearing a red daoist robe quickly came over. This old man looked to be in his sixties, and his red hair was especially eye-catching. His cultivation level was not low, and had already reached the peak of the Divine Card Level Six. However, his appearance was somewhat similar to Huo Yue;
The old man was able to cultivate here and his status was extraordinary. This mountain range belonged to the Nonsectarian Cultivator Alliance and all the people who were able to cultivate here were the Elders of the Alliance. This person was one of the Elders of the Alliance. His name was Huo Yun, and he had been an Elder of the Alliance for many years. The reason why the fiery cloud did not appear during today's competition was because he had reached a critical moment in his cultivation and had not come out yet.
If an ordinary person came to see him, naturally, Huo Yun wouldn't have come out to meet him. This time, the person who came to see him was his own grandson; no matter how busy he was, he had to come out to meet him. Moreover, he still felt guilty for his son's death. More than once, he had gone to find Huo Lie to help them raise their cultivation.
Huo Yun thought that his two grandsons wouldn't forgive him for their entire lives, but he didn't expect them to come looking for him today.
Seeing his grandson, Huo Yun was more or less excited. He could not help but ask, "Where's your big brother? "Why didn't you come along?"
Huo Yue glanced at his grandfather, his eyes devoid of respect. He said in a neither cold nor hot manner, "I don't have a grandfather like you. "If you can promise me that, I'll reluctantly recognize this grandfather of yours. If you don't help me, I'll leave immediately and never appear in front of you again …"
Hearing his grandson's words, Huo Yun let out a sigh and said, "Come, let's talk inside the cave."
After entering the cave, the fire cloud didn't waste any time and asked, "What exactly is going on?"
Huo Yue didn't waste time speaking, and told her what had happened today in a simple manner. He then said, "I already don't want to say anything about what you had done to Father back then. Today, Big Brother and I were bullied, they stole all of our treasures for all these years, without any savings, how will we continue to live in Fire God Continent? "You must help us take those things back, and then teach that brat a lesson …"
Hearing this, Huo Yun frowned. He felt that this was clearly his grandson's fault, yet he still had to find trouble with someone else.
If it was his previous personality, he would not help them at all.
Huo Yue, who was at the side, kept watching his grandfather's gaze the entire time. When he saw this scene, he could not help but say: "Back then father was bullied, didn't you also ignore it? If you make a move, Father won't die at all. "I did not expect you to still be like this after so many years. It looks like I came to the wrong place this time …" As he spoke, he turned around to leave.
Seeing that his grandson was about to leave, Huo Yun sighed and said, "Wait a moment."
Huo Yue did not answer and his steps also stopped. He coldly snorted and said: "What, did you finally understand?"
"I'll promise you that. However, I'll at most teach him a lesson and help him take back what he wants. I won't kill him." Huo Yun didn't want to help, but he had no choice. He had lost his son and no longer wanted to lose his grandson. He said in a deep voice, "Tell me where he lives and I'll go find him …"
Huo Yue's face lit up, he took out a jade slip from the storage bag and threw it at Huo Yun: "There is his details inside, take a look!"
When he saw that Han Yan only had the cultivation of Divine Card Level Four, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief and said: "Wait for me here, I'll go back soon …"
Huo Yue nodded, and said: "If you really can help me this time, in the future, I will call you Grandfather …"
After leaving the cave, Huo Yun sighed in his heart. He was well aware of what his two grandsons were like. Besides having decent talent, they didn't know anything else. They were no different from idiots. If his son didn't die, he wouldn't have spent so much effort to forcefully raise their cultivation and raise them to the God Realm.
Everything was that year's fault. Huo Yun knew why he couldn't raise his cultivation level these past few years. It was all because the knot in his heart hadn't been resolved. The cycle of Karma was fated, and everything that had happened all those years ago had been caused by him. Now that he had helped his grandson out, he finally understood one thing. Once the knot in his heart was resolved, he might have a chance to break through once more in the future.
As an elder of the Nonsectarian Cultivator Alliance, Huo Yun was very familiar with the environment of the place. Arriving in front of Han Yan's courtyard, the flaming cloud easily broke through the formation and then snuck into the formation. Because his cultivation was high, and his ability to hide his Qi was strong, after entering the array, other than Han Yan, no one else had noticed his whereabouts.
The reason why Han Yan was able to discover the fiery cloud's aura was not because he had sensed it, but because he had added an array formation within the courtyard. This formation didn't have any offensive power, nor did it have any defensive power. If one didn't pay careful attention to sense it, one wouldn't be able to notice it at all. However, this array had its own unique features. If someone were to infiltrate the array, Han Yan could feel them.
However, Han Yan pretended not to know, as his spiritual sense stealthily locked onto the other party's body. He wanted to see what the other party was planning to do by sneaking in here in the middle of the night. Huo Yun was extremely familiar with the environment here. With a sweep of his divine sense, he quickly found Han Yan's whereabouts, and with a few movements of his mouth, a weak energy ripple entered into Han Yan's room.
In the next moment, a voice appeared in Han Yan's mind. "Fellow cultivator, this old man will look for you sometimes.
Hearing that, Han Yan knew that the other party had no ill intentions, but why did he come here, he could not help but become curious.2
Han Yan thought for a moment, then quietly left the room. He saw Huo Yun in a corner of the courtyard.
When Huo Yun saw Han Yan appearing, his expression became slightly happy. He sent a sound transmission to Han Yan, "You speak inappropriately here, let's go to the rear mountains over there!"
Han Yan did not want to continue their conversation. After all, the other party's identity was unknown. If they were to fight later, Xiao Yuyao and the rest might get hurt. Moreover, Han Yan could feel that the cultivation level of the Fire Cloud was only at Divine Card Level Five, which was about the same as Jiang Yunheng's. If they were to really fight, as long as the other party didn't play tricks, he could easily subdue them.
The two of them left the courtyard and flew towards the bamboo forest at the back of the mountain. Then, they found a secluded place to land.
The fire cloud set up a soundproofing array, cupped his fist and said: "Dao friend, I have no ill intentions by looking for you, I just want to discuss a matter with you." After saying that, he hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Today's match between you and my grandson, I know about it too. I heard that you stole their things, is there anything wrong?"
Huo Yun's tone of voice was still considered polite, he did not rely on his power to bully others, nor did he have any intention to suppress Han Yan.
Han Yan's impression of him was not bad, and she did not want to be rude before clarifying the situation: "There is indeed such a thing, but the situation is different from what you've said …"
Fire Cloud's eyebrows did not move but in the blink of an eye, he understood what was going on. He smiled bitterly and said, "This is fine, I just want to get back what they lost. Of course, I am not just taking things for free. As long as your demands are not too excessive, I will definitely agree to what I can do. "
Han Yan was clever, he already knew the other party's objective. He sighed in his heart and then said: "Senior, please forgive me for my bluntness, but your two grandsons are really not much. If you help him like this, not only will it not work, it will also harm them. If something like that happens again in the future, will you still attack? "
Huo Yun also knew that something like this wasn't right, but he truly wanted to untie the knot in his heart. He said, "Fellow Daoist, you're right. I used to think the same thing. However, that incident caused me to lose a son. "Now that I don't want to lose my grandson again, even if they are wrong, I will still continue to be wrong. After all, they still have my blood on them …"
Han Yan could understand his opponent's feelings. If this were to happen to him, how would he choose?
However, Han Yan was sure that he wouldn't let this happen.
Han Yan's eyes flashed, and an idea flashed through his mind. He replied in a low voice: "Senior, I won't help you.
Hearing that, Huo Yun's face darkened. He seemed to have already thought of this outcome as he smiled bitterly, "I know you won't help me. After all, no matter who it is, they will make such a choice. "Like I said, he's my grandson after all. I can't just sit there and watch, don't force me to act …"
After Huo Yun said this, his face was filled with a struggling expression. It seemed that he did not want to make a move against Han Yan.
Suddenly, Han Yan felt that the old man in front of him was too pitiful. He decided to help him for a bit, and said: "Senior, you are not my opponent, please leave!"
Huo Yun was stunned. He was a little disbelieving of Han Yan's words and said: "Young man, don't be too arrogant. If you can defeat me, I will immediately leave here. If you lose, please give those things to me. I won't look for trouble with you again.
This was also the result that Han Yan wanted to see, and he nodded: "Okay, I agree."
The fiery cloud did not make a move. An enormous aura was released from its body. It said seriously, "Fighting techniques can damage one's Qi. Let's compete in power!"
Han Yan did not want to waste any more words, so with a thought, he released a huge pressure that went straight for his opponent.
Although the pressure released by the fire cloud was strong, it was not a match for Han Yan, and was defeated in the blink of an eye.
Huo Yun had never even dreamed of such an outcome. He stood there in a daze and said in disbelief, "How is this possible?"
"I just said, you're not my opponent." Han Yan said with a stern face, "For children like them, it's fine if they don't want them to. But if they were to just blindly condone it, it would only harm them …"
Han Yan's voice still echoed inside the array, he had disappeared, but the array was still there.
The fire cloud widened its eyes once more. It was hard to believe how the other party was able to leave this place without opening the formation. After a moment, he finally understood why his opponent was able to defeat him in such a short period of time. Huo Yun sighed, cupped his fists towards the direction Han Yan left in, and said, "Thank you for your reminder, Senior. I understand."
