Chapter 1340: Longing

When Su Yi heard these words, he immediately felt the immense strength and the bond of blood and family. This was a solemn promise that a father made to his child.

Ji Tianfu stood up instantly and bowed deeply towards Su Yi, in a respectful manner.

Su Yi was extremely surprised. The last time he saved Miss Hanluo from the Green Dark Sect and treated her, Ji Tianfu also performed this grand gesture. For someone as powerful as Su Yi, he knew what this meant.

Immediately, Su Yi helped Ji Tianfu up and said in astonishment, "Sect Leader Ji, what are you doing? You can’t do this!"

Ji Tianfu looked at Su Yi and said very seriously.

"Sect Leader Su, I know your ambitions lie beyond the Chaos Realm. Achieving so much in such a short time is rare in my life. But my daughter, I don’t want to see her hurt in any way. Her body is weak, and her spirit even more so!"

Ji Tianfu continued speaking.

"The Sea Dragon Gang and the Green Dark Sect have caused Luo’er a lot of suffering. Sect Leader Su, if you truly love each other and are committed to each other through life and death, I won’t stand in your way. It’s not appropriate for a young girl to stay unmarried, and I don’t want to hurt Luo’er’s heart. Sect Leader Su, are you sure you can provide a stable future for Hanluo?"

Su Yi paused for a moment, unsure of how to answer this question.

The burden weighing on Su Yi was too much. Every time he narrowly escaped from danger, he understood that he couldn’t offer her any kind of future at the moment.

"Sect Leader Ji, I cannot promise you or Miss Hanluo anything, but I will protect her and take care of her. I will do whatever is necessary if there are any requests. We are not heartless like plants, but I currently don’t have much time to consider romantic relationships."

Su Yi’s gaze was determined as he spoke slowly to Ji Tianfu.

"I can guarantee that even if I am no longer in the Chaos Realm, I will not let Miss Hanluo waste her youthful years, nor will I hurt her heart."

Sect Leader Ji finally had a slightly relieved smile. Su Yi’s words put his troubled mind at ease.

"With such words from Sect Leader Su, we are eternally grateful to you and the Mysterious Sword Gate!"

"Sect Leader Ji, your words are too heavy!"

When Ji Tianfu mentioned Ji Hanluo, he showed a lot of love and kindness. I think my parents also feel this way when they mention me. Su Yi’s eyes seemed a bit dim.

"Wow, such a big change!" Ji Hanluo walked in through the door at that moment.

"Hahaha, you should come often from now on, Luo’er!" Ji Tianfu joked.

"Welcome, Miss Hanluo, anytime!" Su Yi said with a soft smile.

"Really?!" Ji Hanluo’s eyes shimmered with excitement.

"Don’t disturb Sect Leader Su, you should come often. Sect Leader Su is often here too. So, Sect Leader Su, what’s your next plan?" Ji Tianfu patted Ji Hanluo’s shoulder and looked at Su Yi.

Su Yi told Ji Tianfu about his plan to go to Nine Star Valley tomorrow.

Ji Tianfu’s expression changed slightly, and he pondered, "Is that so? Nine Star Valley is not a good place!" The spies from Mysterious Sword Gate had already reported the activities in Nine Star Valley to Ji Tianfu.

"Sect Leader Ji, what do you suggest? Please speak your thoughts!"

Ji Tianfu had been staying in Chaos Realm for many years, and he had a clear understanding of the different powers and conflicts within Chaos Realm.

Knowing oneself and the enemy is the key to winning battles. Ji Tianfu wanted to be well-prepared before going to Nine Star Valley.

"Chen Yao is a very scheming person. Even though he doesn’t show up often, he knows everything that’s happening. The elders who come out are all following his orders. In every clash between three top powers, even if Nine Star Valley loses, they suffer the least!"

When Nine Star Valley was mentioned, Ji Tianfu’s expression turned cold, filled with deep fear.

"It was already very unusual for two elders from Nine Star Valley to capture you face to face. Unless there is a very important reason, Nine Star Valley would never do such a demeaning thing."

Su Yi nodded slightly.

"Inside Nine Star Valley, there are nine valleys with verdant mountains, corresponding to the nine stars in the sky above and the five elemental attributes below. The disciples of Nine Star Valley cultivate all five elements and harness the power of the stars. Many people excel in cultivating each elemental energy. Nine Star Valley has the advantage of timing, location, and people, but they have always been low-key. We must be cautious!" Ji Tianfu sighed with his eyes turned to the sky.

What Ji Tianfu said was not mentioned by Tang Wang before. Even though he was new to Chaos Realm, these matters were already widely known.

"Sect Leader Ji, based on your opinion, do you know why Chen Yao invited me to enter the valley?"

"It is very likely related to Sealed Thunder Valley!"

"Is it the forbidden place of Nine Star Valley?" Su Yi raised his eyebrows, deep in thought.

"Hmm, although Nine Star Valley is low-key, it is not as mysterious as rumored. Sealed Thunder Valley is its biggest secret!"

"I would like to hear more details!"

"There are rumors that Nine Star Valley has an ancestor who retreats to cultivate. They often send out powerful individuals to guard the valley, harnessing the power of the stars. And every hundred years, Elder Nine-star will come out of seclusion. I vaguely remember the last time was over forty years ago."

"According to Ying Wuxiu, it coincides with the Lingbao Pavilion ceremony, the timing is quite close."

"It’s only been forty years!" Su Yi’s suspicion rose suddenly.

"Every time the ancestor leaves the valley, it is during the Nine Stars Shining Moon period of Sealed Thunder Valley. That is when the heavenly thunder is weakest and there is a period of intermittent time. The ancestor comes out of seclusion to guide the younger generation and also to prepare for the next retreat."

"But recently, our Mysterious Sword Gate’s geomancy expert, who observes the stars at night, has noticed that the phenomenon of Nine Stars Shining Moon seems to be appearing again."

"Oh?" Su Yi answered quietly, his gaze burning.

"So, when Sect Leader Su heard that Tang Wang accompanied her all the way from the Garuda Secret Realm, he was cautious and brought the little girl along."

Su Yi’s furrowed brows relaxed, and he smiled. Ji Tianfu’s concern touched Su Yi deeply.

"Since it’s so dangerous, you shouldn’t go!"

Ji Hanluo, who was standing by, listened to Ji Tianfu’s terrifying words, afraid that something bad might happen to Su Yi.

"I’m afraid it’s impossible. I must go to Nine Star Valley this time!"

Su Yi helplessly shook his head.

Nine Star Valley had invited him multiple times, and with the strange happenings in Sealed Thunder Valley and the Nine-turn Dragon Scale Grass that his elder brother needed, Su Yi had a reason he couldn’t ignore to go to Nine Star Valley.

Ji Tianfu saw this and whispered to Ji Hanluo, "Luo’er, Sect Leader Su has ambitions beyond the Overlord Sect, don’t you want him to keep hiding there forever?"

"But… but I just came out from that secret realm, I heard from the gatekeeper that you were being chased by many powerful people, and I’m very scared…"

Ji Hanluo tightly pursed her lips, and the shining tears swirled in her eyes as she spoke. Her small face was extremely flushed with excitement.

"Miss Hanluo, I’m not afraid of them!" Su Yi comforted.

"I’m afraid of them! During this time, I’ve been living in constant fear," Ji Hanluo said softly, starting to sob, her eyes misty with tears, invoking sympathy.
