Chapter 769: Chapter 769 About Mother

The resources inside the Prince Manor’s Treasure Vault, Jing Yan, of course, took them all away.

After completing all this, Jing Yan finally left East Gate County.

"Prince Manor..."

"That Jing Yan, he destroyed our Commandery’s Prince Manor!"

"Good heavens, his audacity is just too great. East Gate County is a commandery controlled by the Gai Family. Does he really not fear the Gai Family’s retaliation?"

"What you’re saying is complete nonsense. If Jing Yan feared the Gai Family, why would he come to East Gate County and go on a killing spree!"

Not long after Jing Yan left, many martial artists from within the Commandery came upon the ruins of Prince Manor. They looked at the once magnificent residence, now a mess, and expressions of disbelief appeared on their faces.

The exclamations of surprise and questioning voices were incessant!

Flowing Light City, the Gai Family’s stronghold.

Not long after, the Gai Family received the news from East Gate County.

The entire Gai Family was enraged, with some of the high-ranking members suggesting vehemently that the family’s elite forces be dispatched to surround and kill that damnable Jing Yan.

Inside the Gai Family, others did not know the purpose of Jing Yan’s visit to East Gate County, but the Gai Family Ancestor Gu Wanquan did. Upon hearing the news, he knew for certain that Jing Yan’s father, Jing Lunnan, must have been rescued by Jing Yan.

He felt angry and somewhat bewildered.

How did Jing Yan know that Jing Lunnan was imprisoned in East Gate County?

This matter was only known by a handful of people within the family.

Saint Master Shen Chong indeed knew that Jing Lunnan was in the Gai Family’s hands, but in Gu Wanquan’s view, Saint Master Shen Chong should not have known the exact location where Jing Lunnan was held.

Doubts were doubts, but the fact that Jing Yan knew Jing Lunnan was in East Gate County was undeniable. Otherwise, could it be that Jing Yan just stumbled upon East Gate County by complete accident?

"Damn little beast!" Gu Wanquan’s face turned purplish with rage. Jing Lunnan was meant to be his trump card, and now this trump card had flown away.

"Ancestor, how should we respond now? This matter has spread, and it has had a huge negative impact on our family!" Gu Jinlan stood in front of Gu Wanquan, his face also looking quite distressed.

"Contact them, tell them to assemble and head to East Gate County together. If Jing Yan is still there, we must join forces and spare no expense to kill Jing Yan," Gu Wanquan said with a sinister voice.

The ’them’ Gu Wanquan referred to were the Dao Emperor Realm Practitioners and Guest Elders who were secretly supported by the Gai Family. This was an incredibly strong and relatively hidden force, which Gu Wanquan was reluctant to fully expose unless absolutely necessary.

But now that Jing Yan had come to the territory controlled by the Gai Family and destroyed the East Gate County Prince Manor, if the Gai Family still made no significant move, it would undoubtedly make the whole Heavenly Origin Continent think that the Gai Family was in decline, that they were hollow inside.

Gu Wanquan could not continue to restrain himself!

"Yes!" Gu Jinlan set off at once.

After Gu Jinlan had left, Gu Wanquan took out a Communication Crystal Stone from his Sumeru Ring and sent out a message.

"The family is in peril, return immediately!" After sending this message, Gu Wanquan immediately put away the Communication Crystal Stone.

"Jing Yan, you little beast," Gu Wanquan ground his teeth, "not even tearing you to pieces will quell the hatred in my heart!" he bellowed angrily.

A day later, a group of Dao Emperor Realm peak strong people arrived at East Gate County and began a thorough search for Jing Yan’s whereabouts. Within the city, they failed to trace Jing Yan and so expanded their search to the areas surrounding the city.

But obviously, they were not going to find anything, for Jing Yan was already on his way back to the Holy City.

Several days later, Jing Yan returned to the Hall Master Mansion in the Holy City and also brought his father, Jing Lunnan, out of the Qiankun Small World.

"Jing Yan, have we left East Gate County?" Jing Lunnan, emerging from the Qiankun Small World, looked around at the environment and hesitantly asked.

"Yes, this is the Holy City. I am now the Hall Master of the Holy Palace Holy Hall, and this is the Hall Master Mansion," Jing Yan replied to his father with a smile and a nod.

"Jing Yan," Senior Tianshui said that there was a martial artist named Qu Duo in East Gate County that you killed—was that Qu Duo really a Dao Emperor Realm peak practitioner?" Jing Lunnan asked, eyes wide.

Inside the Qiankun Small World, Jing Lunnan was unable to know what was happening outside. However, the residual soul of Tianshui within the small world could. When Jing Lunnan first encountered the residual soul of Tianshui, he was startled. But soon, the two of them began speaking quite familiarly. While Jing Yan was fighting Qu Duo, Tianshui also relayed the situation happening outside to Jing Lunnan in real time.

Knowing that a Dao Emperor Realm peak practitioner was slain by Jing Yan, one can imagine how Jing Lunnan felt.

"Father, my Martial Arts Cultivation is also at the Dao Emperor Realm peak. And the Dao Emperor Realm peak practitioners I have killed are not just one," Jing Yan stated with a smile.

Jing Lunnan took a deep breath and was unable to speak for a long while.

Jing Lunnan was already shocked to learn that Jing Yan was a Dao Emperor, and now he was suddenly startled to discover that Jing Yan had reached the peak of the Dao Emperor Realm, and moreover, was one who could kill other Dao Emperor Realm peak practitioners.

"Father, is your Martial Arts Cultivation at the Dao King Realm peak?" Jing Yan directed the conversation back to Jing Lunnan.

"Yes! The Dao King Realm peak, but facing the powerful Gai Family, I had no power to fight back." Jing Lunnan revealed a bitter smile.

"In fact, I could only become a Dao King Realm practitioner because of your mother. Otherwise, I probably couldn’t have even reached the Dao Spirit Realm," Jing Lunnan reminisced.

"Jing Yan, you don’t have any memories of your mother, do you?" Jing Lunnan looked at Jing Yan, his eyes filled with a complex emotion.

Jing Yan could see a hidden pain deep in the eyes of his father, Jing Lunnan, whenever he mentioned his mother.

"I heard from Senior Tianshui that my mother came from the Despair Abyss," said Jing Yan.

"Yes, your mother’s name was Chu Lianxing, and she indeed was from the Divine Race. However, your mother was not a bad person." Jing Lunnan, fearing that Jing Yan would be adverse to his mother’s identity as part of the Divine Race, hastened to explain.

"There are also two factions within the Divine Race. Not all of the Divine Race participated in the Human-God War that happened four thousand years ago. Within the Divine Race, one faction advocated for the complete extermination of our humanity, while the other faction disagreed. The members of the Divine Race who waged war against our humanity were from that militant faction."

"Your mother did not belong to the war-favoring camp. Her family was among those advocating for peace and coexistence with humanity," Jing Lunnan said, his deep gaze lifting to the sky.

"Father, when you met Mother, were you only at the Innate Cultivation Realm?" Jing Yan asked, puzzled.

"Right! Your mother and I met in the Moonlight Forest Evil Canyon," Jing Lunnan said, his voice a shade softer, "Actually, there is a secret about our Heavenly Origin Continent that perhaps only a few know."

"Hidden within the Moonlight Forest Evil Canyon, there is a secret passage that leads directly to the depths of the Despair Abyss."

"Your mother came to the Heavenly Origin Continent from the depths of the Despair Abyss through that secret passage," Jing Lunnan said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this news, Jing Yan too was slightly shaken.
