Chapter 1042: Chapter 781 Searching for Relatives_1

"Lei... Leian... Waa..." Far away, Ao Lei, who had completely destroyed a glacier thousands of meters tall, reached out a hand, trying to grasp something in the void, but the strike from the white-robed masked woman had already completely dissolved his power. He could only watch helplessly as the white-robed masked woman took Lei Leian away, taking with her his hope, the hope of achieving immortality.

Out of sheer frustration, Ao Lei let out a "wah" and vomited a large mouthful of fresh blood. He then fell from the collapsing glacier, plunging into the vast sea below.

After a long while, cracks began to form again in the void, and then, Feng Ya, gasping for breath, climbed out from amongst them.

With her abilities, managing this much truly exhausted all her strength.

"Ao... Ao Lei..." Upon emerging, Feng Ya quickly began to search frantically for Ao Lei.

When Feng Ya dragged Ao Lei, who was badly injured and near unconscious, from the sea and placed him on a floating ice island, she was nearly depleted of strength. Seeing that Ao Lei was unharmed, Feng Ya’s concern shifted to her own daughter; she was anxious but felt helpless.

"Ao Lei, Ao Lei, what do we do now? Lei Leian... has fallen into that woman’s hands... I fear... I fear it’s dangerous..." Feng Ya had a vague idea of what that woman wanted with Lei Leian, and the truth was terribly frightening.

Ao Lei lay there with his eyes closed, and after a long moment, he finally let out a breath, regaining some spirit. He struggled slowly to sit up, leaning to one side, and murmured weakly, "With our current strength... it’s absolutely impossible to snatch Lei Leian back from that woman’s hands. We need... to find help... help... but who should we turn to..."

Hearing Ao Lei mention this, Feng Ya’s face showed a troubled expression and she suggested, "How about... we go and beg those few from our clan..."

"Shut up." Ao Lei sharply rebuked her, which aggravated his injuries and caused him to cough slightly. Holding his chest, Ao Lei gritted his teeth and said, "That damned woman, what terrifying power. It will likely take a long time for me to recover. As for those old fellows in the clan, you shouldn’t count on them. It’s possible they were behind the attack on me that day. Now expecting them to save Lei Leian? Feng Ya, you’re being too naïve."

"Ao Lei, what do you suggest we do now? Lei Leian is in danger; we can’t just sit back and do nothing!" said Feng Ya, frantic with worry.

Ao Lei clenched his teeth and said, "I know. I am more anxious than you are. My everything is pinned on Lei Leian. To think that the damned woman got there first... It’s also our fault for... forgetting about her... Damned wretched woman..." Ao Lei clenched his fists, shaking slightly all over. After a moment, he suddenly asked, "Feng Ya, do you remember the battle between Maya, the Ninth Pillar God, and that little punk named Su Yu?"

Feng Ya was taken aback, but quickly she understood Ao Lei’s implication. Her eyes lit up as she exclaimed, "Ao Lei, are you suggesting we find that Su Yu?"

Ao Lei’s face showed an indescribable strangeness as he spoke slowly, "That day, when he fought with Maya, the Ninth Pillar God, there were a few forces that helped him... Their origins were extraordinary. Didn’t you say that the boy has always been interested in Lei Leian? If he learns that Lei Leian is in danger, perhaps..."

Overjoyed, Feng Ya stood up and said, "Yes, seeking him out is definitely the right move, Ao Lei, let’s go find him right now."

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Ao Lei’s face as he said, "Our daughter has been kidnapped, and we personally go to beg for his help... If word gets out, what face would we have left?"

"Ao Lei, at a time like this, what does face matter? Let’s go, now!" Feng Ya urged urgently.

Ao Lei glared and said, "Feng Ya, we are figures with a reputation. How could we demean ourselves like this? Rest assured, I have a plan for this situation. We just need to use others to convey the news here to him. If that boy really cares for Lei Leian, he’ll surely come. There’s no need for us to go to him personally—that would be too degrading."

Helpless against Ao Lei’s stubborn pride, even as he sat with severe injuries and a pale face, yet still displaying his resolute demeanor, unwilling to yield an inch, Feng Ya had no choice but to do everything as he said. They could not afford to delay; she had to get the news to Su Yu as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Su Yu, who had just received his family and relatives, was humming a tune excitedly. He flew them back to Black Iron City. The people of Black Iron City, already informed, had lined up in two long rows, organizing the grandest welcome ceremony in history.

On the way back, Su Yu had quietly used a "Reliance Skull" to inform Jin Fuhua and others, so everyone in Black Iron City knew that Su Yu had found his parents and relatives and was on his way back.

"The arrival of the parents of the Black Iron City Lord, Su Yu, that’s a matter of great significance. Ouyang Nuo, Jiang Hai, Jin Fuhua, Qin Jiagui, Qing Huang, Zhang Zhongmou, Su Yun, Lei Rui, Zhao Shichang, Li Dong, Gu Lingshuang, Ren Honglin, Fang Jiong, Guan Xiaowei, Cao Xiaoyu, Liu Zheng... along with nearly a thousand Black Warriors and tens of thousands of Black Iron City warriors, filled the space oppressively. When Su Yu descended with his parents and others, he was taken aback by the scene before him.

Seeing the astonishment on his father’s face, Su Yu looked at the crowd before him and wore a proud expression on his face.

In Su Yu’s eyes, his father had always been strict, and now that he himself had achieved some success, he wanted his parents to be the first to know that their son had made certain accomplishments. This idea might seem naïve, but for Su Yu, gaining his parents’ approval was worth more praise and adulation than that of tens of thousands of others.

As soon as Su Yun heard that her parents had arrived, she ran to them with tears streaming down her face and threw herself into her mother’s arms. The three of them hugged each other and cried their eyes out.

Qin Jiagui, Zhang Zhongmou, Zhao Shichang, and others who had come to this world with Su Yu felt an inexplicable excitement. They were all struck by the same thought: if Su Yu could really find his parents and kin, what about them? What about their own families?

"Mom..." Qin Jiagui whispered silently in his heart. His father had died very early on, and it had been his mother who had raised him alone. To him, the most important people were Yuan Niping and his own mother.

"All these... They’re all your friends?" Even Su Guozheng was taken aback by the sheer number of people before him, especially the nearly a thousand Black Warriors, each one a Demi-god strongman. Only being a Black Iron Ninth Level, Su Guozheng naturally felt immense pressure.

Su Yu hummed in agreement and nodded, maintaining a hold on his mother’s hand, then beckoned Fang Jiong over with a smile and said, "Brother Fang, your culinary skills will be put to the test today."

Fang Jiong laughed heartily and replied, "Don’t worry, I’ll be cooking personally tonight. With Uncle Su and Auntie’s arrival, it truly is a joyous occasion, and ’Black Iron City’ hasn’t been lively in a long time."

With that, Fang Jiong went off to arrange the banquet.

Su Yu surmised that his parents wouldn’t have had much to eat during their days in the Heavenly Pit Forest, so upon returning to Black Iron City, the first thing that came to mind was to have Fang Jiong prepare a feast.

Watching his son respected and honored among the crowd, Su Guozheng was filled with joy, and a smile finally appeared on his usually austere face.

Su Yu led his parents into the grand hall and seated them at the head of the table. His mother, Fang Yumei, had a constant smile on her face. Su Ting, looking at her own mother, realized it was the first time she had seen her smile so happily in over two years.

"Xiao Yu, sit next to me, closer, so I can see you more clearly. You’re too far away for me to see," Fang Yumei held on tight to her son’s hand, fearing that if she let go, Su Yu might disappear again.

Su Yu, overwhelmed with happiness, hadn’t noticed until just then that something seemed off about his mother’s eyes.

"Mom, what’s wrong with your eyes?" Su Yu quickly thought back to how his mother used to have good eyesight, so why did she just mention she couldn’t see clearly from far away?

Fang Yumei hurriedly insisted, "It’s nothing, nothing, Xiao Yu. I’m just too happy," she said.

Su Yu turned to Su Ting and asked, "Sis, is there something wrong with Mom’s eyes?" He examined his mother’s eyes closely, finding them lifeless and quite cloudy.

While Fang Yumei didn’t want to worry Su Yu and thus refused to speak, Su Ting bluntly revealed, "Mom has been crying a lot over the past two years whenever she thought of you. She cried so much that it damaged her eyes. She’s been treated twice, but it was no use. Now... she can only see things that are very close. Anything farther away is blurry."

Su Yu felt a tightness in his chest and couldn’t help but stand up, but he quickly restrained himself. In a world where one could find the Water of the Netherworld, capable of enlightening the mind, there must surely be elixirs that could restore clarity and brightness to the eyes. Compared to the former, it should be a simple matter. He decided not to tell them yet, and instead would surprise his mother once he found the cure.

Fang Yumei had already started scolding Su Ting, "Really now, it’s not like I’ve gone blind. It’s just a bit blurry when I look at things. What’s the big deal? You’re such a chatterbox. Xiao Yu, I’m fine. Now that I’ve seen you, my eyes will get better soon. Don’t worry about me."

At that moment, Su Yu was lost for words. The love of parents is always so selfless. Looking at everything before him, he felt that all his efforts over the past two-plus years were finally paying off. There was no greater joy than having one’s family by their side.

Buoyed by Su Yu’s reunion with his parents, which included Su Yun’s parents as well, others like Qin Jiagui, Zhang Zhongmou, Lei Rui, and Zhao Shichang, all approached Su Yu, driven by their own yearnings.

Su Yu understood their feelings and could empathize—who doesn’t have parents or kin? Since they all fell into this world with him, this Day of Ending when people from all over the world fell into this realm, their parents and relatives must be among them. (To be continued...
