Chapter 1461 - 426: I Am Your Daughter, I Came from the Future

Zhou Qing understood and nodded, wiped away the tears from his face, and pulled Shen Yunzhou out of the room.

As the door of the room closed, the last thing he saw was Lu Yaoyao curled up in Shen Hanyi’s arms, so fragile and in need of care.

Standing under the corridor, Zhou Qing leaned against the vermilion railing, just feeling a sharp pain in his chest.

The girl who had called "Senior Brother" behind him for so many years turned out to be his own flesh and blood...

And in the future, she actually lived such a wandering and unstable life...

Shen Yunzhou stood nearby, wanting to speak but hesitating, ultimately just letting out a heavy sigh.

Although he had already completely believed Miss Lu’s words in his heart, he still felt an unreal sensation.

The main issue was too absurd—a person with no cultivation foundation, how could they possibly cross the river of time to come to the past?

But on the other hand, if it were possible, wouldn’t he also want to return to the past?

Even if it meant sacrificing his cultivation to start over, he would want to prevent the tragedy of the past and save his mother...

Thinking of this, Shen Yunzhou’s eyes sharpened, deciding to ask Miss Lu about her final location when her emotions stabilized.

Perhaps he could find some clues from it, allowing him to try as well...

Zhou Qing remained silent, repeatedly pondering Lu Yaoyao’s words and the past events.

He must prevent the tragedy from happening, but everything is calm right now, how could they suddenly be hunted by many Demon Emperors?

And for so many years?

Until the sun set in the west, Shen Hanyi gently pushed the door open and stepped out.

Seeing the two turn around, she made a silent gesture: "She’s just fallen asleep, let’s talk over there."

The three moved to the pavilion, and after a long silence, Shen Hanyi was the first to speak: "I’m either trapped, or... I’m dead."

"Impossible!" Zhou Qing’s heart trembled sharply, and he blurted out.

Shen Yunzhou quickly added, "Sister, you are so strong, as long as it’s not Supreme taking action..."

The words stopped abruptly.

The three exchanged glances, the atmosphere suddenly heavy.

Zhou Qing quickly analyzed, "At the moment among Level 5 Cultivation Countries, Celestial Venerables are merely the six inspectors of the Cultivation Alliance and Dynasty Alliance. Even if others infiltrate, the total number won’t exceed ten."

After all, that Divine Beast is a Celestial Venerable, but he came here out of necessity.

Normally, which Celestial Venerable would willingly lower themselves to a low-level cultivation country?

Thinking from another perspective, now as someone in the Spirit Severing Realm, he’d rather look for opportunities in this Fifth-level Cultivation Country than flaunt his strength in those second-level or third-level cultivation countries.

Not only would it delay cultivation, but the comfortable life would also erode one’s fighting spirit...

What’s more, with the supervision of the two major alliances, any actions would be restricted. So, only Supreme Realm and Earth Venerables remain.

"Have you ever offended an Earth Venerable?" Zhou Qing asked in a deep voice.

Shen Hanyi shook her head: "I’ve only seen two of them from afar, never had any interaction. If I truly offended them, they could kill me on the spot, and the Shen Family wouldn’t continue to exist until now."

Shen Yunzhou supplemented, "Among the Fifth-level Cultivation Country, Earth Venerables are the strongest, but their numbers are pitifully few, and normally, they are as elusive as dragons."

"So..." Zhou Qing’s eyes flashed with brilliance, "the only possibility left is the Supreme Realm."

Saying this, he secretly let out a sigh of relief.

After all, compared to a higher realm, the Supreme Realm is still within the range that can be dealt with...

Shen Hanyi furrowed her brow, lost in thought.

Seeing this, Shen Yunzhou continued to analyze, "The Supreme Realm is divided into the Early Stage and Great Perfection, with a significant difference in strength between them."

Zhou Qing suddenly stared straight at Shen Hanyi, his eyes burning: "No matter who it is, why don’t we just retreat and close ourselves off now? Ignore the affairs outside the window, just avoid these years..."

His voice carried a hint of urgency, "Perhaps because of Yaoyao’s arrival and advance warning, everything will change."
