CHAPTER 526: CHAPTER 18: GREAT ZHOU MARTIAL EMPEROR

The two Yun brothers stared dumbfounded; hadn’t they heard that their father was already at the end of his tether, without even the strength to counterattack?

Weren’t they told that the fusion of Demon Beast Amniotic Fluid and the Life Spring in his body could cause him to explode into pieces at any moment?

But what was happening right in front of them?

"You two unfilial sons, truly useless. If something happened to your old father, the Yun Residence would surely collapse in your hands. Hmph, it looks like your old father still needs to hold fort for a while," Yun Bahe said with a look of pride.

Heavenly Thunder allowed the two super strengths within Yun Bahe’s body to merge into one, and at the brink of life and death, it also allowed Yun Bahe to realize a truth.

For many years, he had put Great Zhou City above everything else, shedding blood and risking his head, but he had neglected the feelings of the people at the Yun Residence.

His sons, whom he regarded as disobedient children, yet at the most critical moment, the two brothers stood up together, using their own bodies to bear the heavenly disaster for their "useless" old father.

Their actions told Yun Bahe that he was the pillar of the Yun Residence.

My dear wife, sorry, I cannot join you down there just yet.

Our children still need me.

Reborn after calamities, this time, Yun Bahe will protect everyone at the Yun Residence, this time, he will live for his family and the renewed passion in his blood!

The touching scene between father and sons continues.

On the ground, in the ruins of the Yun Residence that had been nearly leveled, Yun Sheng squatted in a corner of Yun Bahe’s courtyard.

In her hands, she suspiciously clutched her Magic Wand, muttering under her breath: "Grandmama above! Don’t blame the strange, Sheng’er was also compelled by necessity, only then did she use magic to strike your spiritual tablet."

It turned out that the bolt of lightning that had struck Lady Yun’s spiritual tablet earlier was actually "Artificial Thunder" created surreptitiously by Yun Sheng using Thunder Magic.

As soon as Yun Canghai awoke and Yun Sheng learned that her mother Hu Jiusheng had not died, Yun Sheng decided to reconcile with the Old General.

So many years had passed, and Yun Bahe’s guilt was surely not small.

The moment the Heavenly Thunder struck, mobilizing the Yun brothers to join the fight, was also to let the three father and sons experience what it meant to be family soldiers who do not abandon each other in battle.

With the strength of the three, bearing the Heavenly Thunder together was not an insurmountable task.

Only, what nearly made Yun Sheng spit blood in anger was that Yun Bahe had initially been indifferent to the Heavenly Tribulation, with an appearance of "If I am to die, let no one drag me down with them."

Having no other choice, she had to offend "Lady Yun."

But Yun Bahe, sly as an old ginger, had defied everyone’s expectations and successfully made a breakthrough to become a Martial Emperor.

Martial Emperor, an existence far more formidable than a Martial Saint.

After Yun Bahe advanced in rank, when he reappeared before everyone, he had shed the appearance of an old man in his twilight years; his figure had resumed robustness, and his face had become much younger.

At the base of his hair, which was originally speckled with white, black roots began to grow; now, his appearance seemed no more than that of a man in his forties.

In the sky above, father and sons gazed at each other, and for a moment, no one knew how to break the silence.

"Father..." Yun Canglang was the first to speak, "You will always be our father."

"Father..." Yun Canghai’s tiger-like eyes heated up: "Your child recognizes his wrongs."

Yun Bahe snorted, glancing coldly at the ground, "We’re all family, there’s no right or wrong. Everyone, you may leave. Don’t keep my dear granddaughter waiting."

Three figures streaked across the sky above Yujing, like shooting stars.

At this moment, it also officially marked that the Yun Family, after hundreds of years of loyalty, had finally stepped down from the political stage of Great Zhou.

Yun Sheng and her father reconciled with Yun Bahe, mending the ice between them, making the whole family harmonious and joyful again; even Yun Cangxue and her son returned to the Yun Residence under the mediation of Yun Canghai to apologize to the old general.

Yun Bahe even ordered Yun Cangxue to call back her new husband.

With the collapse of the Yun Residence, everyone from the Yun Family temporarily resided in the Wuxuan Wuji Hall. After years apart, the family held a banquet, which also served as an occasion for Yun Sheng to be recognized by her ancestors.

At the banquet, the old general was specially allowed by Yun Sheng to drink a good deal of alcohol. After three rounds of drinks, Yun Bahe suddenly spoke up, "I have an announcement to make."

Everyone fell silent.

"I have decided that tomorrow morning, I’ll leave Yujing with Uncle Yun, and head to the Bizhou Village area. From then on, I’ll no longer involve myself with the matters of Great Zhou."

When these words were spoken, the room filled with looks of astonishment.

Everyone thought that the old father’s words were just a spur-of-the-moment feeling, but he had actually planned to retire from the world all along.

But could Yun Bahe, now the Martial Emperor, truly let go of Great Zhou City, which seemed on the brink of instability?

Even though they were puzzled, no one spoke up to dissuade Yun Bahe; they had already lost faith in Emperor Zhou.

After the banquet, Yun Sheng and her father, Yun Canghai, were on their way back to the Little Ci’en Hall.

Yun Canghai paused, "Sheng’er, your father has also decided to leave Yujing."

Yun Sheng was silent, she had actually known all along that sooner or later, her father would part ways with her.

Times have changed, and she was no longer the six-year-old village girl. She had her own plans, to head to the Mainland Magic Elite Camp, to learn more advanced magic.

Her father was not the kind to stand still either; now knowing that her mother was still alive, yet had forgotten about them, he must be in a great hurry. If not for the poison in grandfather’s body, he would have already left.

"For all these years, your father has wronged you. Since your birth, I haven’t been able to take good care of you," Yun Canghai felt the greatest remorse for his daughter.

"Father, you have taught Sheng’er many things, and it was you who gave me a large family like the Yun Residence. Sheng’er has never blamed you. You want to find mother, Sheng’er won’t stop you, but just as you asked Sheng’er not to offend the Summoning Court rashly, I also hope you, don’t act recklessly," Yun Sheng tried to keep a calm tone to express the sentiments of parting with her father.

But towards the end, her voice choked up and she could not continue.

Yun Canghai stepped forward and held his daughter in his arms.

Over a decade had passed, and that once dying infant had grown up. She was independent, strong, and extraordinarily talented.

Unknowingly, his daughter had grown into a graceful lady, no longer the little girl who would toddle around his knees, unable to take a step without him.

"Father promises you, one day, the three of us will be reunited. If fate allows, father and daughter will meet again soon," Yun Canghai also knew that he was no match for the Summoning Court, so he planned to hone himself on the continent.

Only after his magic cultivation made a breakthrough would he look for clues about his wife.

Knowing that her father would not act recklessly, Yun Sheng felt greatly reassured.
