Battle Through the Heavens: My Grandfather is a Six-Star Dou Sheng

Chapter 196 Reunion with Zhukun

Later, Jiang Xing went to the Burial Sky Mountain Range once or twice more and finally confirmed that the Soul Emperor wanted to move the Gate of Death to the Capital Sword Mountain Range.

Having confirmed this, Jiang Xing was finally relieved.

The fact that the Soul Clan is doing this proves that they will not take any further action for the next fifty years.

He can finally focus on cultivating and aiming for the late stage of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm.

I feel a little sorry for Zhu Kun in the Ancient Emperor's Cave. I remember I promised him that I would collect all the ancient jade within fifteen years and rescue him from the Ancient Emperor's Cave.

Thinking back to myself back then, I was so young and impetuous...

Counting the days, the fifteen years I promised Zhukun are almost up.

After all, it was his own fault. Regardless of whether Zhu Kun needs to intervene, he should apologize, and at least his attitude should be respectful.

Jiang Xing shared his thoughts with Zi Yan.

Zi Yan said she didn't care, that with her around, he wouldn't dare do anything to her.

But she didn't reject Jiang Xing either; she's all bark and no bite.

Jiang Xing briefly explained to Cai Lin that he and Zi Yan were going to the Northwest Continent.

They also suggested that Cai Lin go with them to visit the Snake People and, while doing so, relocate them to Dragon Island.

Fifty years from now, a great war will surely break out there, and it's hard to guarantee that it won't affect the Gama Empire.

It was clear that Jiang Xing was genuinely concerned for the Snake People, and Cai Lin was deeply moved.

To reward Jiang Xing, Cai Lin was exceptionally enthusiastic that evening, almost overwhelming Jiang Xing.

The next day, the three set off for the Northwest Continent.

All three were very powerful, so they arrived at their destination in no time.

Jiang Xing and the other two went to Canaan Academy first, easily avoiding the teachers of Canaan Academy, and arrived at the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

Cai Lin had never been here before and was very curious.

Jiang Xing had no idea how many times he and Cai Lin had happily rolled around together; they were already pregnant, so there was no need for him to hide it from her.

To be honest, this is the ancient emperor's cave, and Zi Yan's father was imprisoned here.

Cai Lin expressed surprise.

Jiang Xing was afraid that if he spoke up, Zhu Kun would be furious, so before going downstairs, he asked Zi Yan to say a few good words to persuade Zhu Kun.

After Zi Yan patted her chest to assure them, the three of them went down into the lava.

Returning to this familiar place, Jiang Xing was still a little flustered, afraid of being drawn into the cave, and dared not stand too close.

Jiang Xing called out from outside, "Uncle Zhukun!"

A short while later, Zhu Kun came out of the cave.

He heard Jiang Xing's familiar voice and, remembering the fifteen-year promise, assumed that Jiang Xing had collected the other seven pieces of ancient jade. He flew out excitedly.

After they came out, he excitedly asked, "Jiang Xing, did you collect all the ancient...?"

Before Zhu Kun could finish speaking, he was drawn to Zi Yan, who was standing next to Jiang Xing.

The Ziyan I saw last time was before she grew up; the Ziyan I see now is grown up.

The two had changed a lot, but Zhu Kun still recognized her as his daughter at a glance.

There is no doubt that the two are related by blood.

"You...you are Ziyan?"

So many years have passed, and Zi Yan has long since forgiven Zhu Kun.

But having not seen each other for so long, she didn't know how to face her father.

In the end, all I could do was nod.

"Um!"

"Great, great! You've grown taller and prettier!" Zhu Kun said excitedly.

"Eight-Star Dou Sheng, Dragon-Phoenix Physique!"

"Thanks to Jiang Xing for helping me find the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, otherwise I wouldn't have made such a great improvement." Zi Yan remembered Jiang Xing's instructions and spoke well of him.

"Thank you, young friend Jiang Xing, for taking care of Zi Yan!" Zhu Kun looked at Jiang Xing with gratitude.

Jiang Xing waved his hand: "Zi Yan is like my own sister, it's only right that I take care of her."

Jiang Xing originally wanted to let Zhu Kun and Zi Yan, father and daughter, have a chat alone, hoping that Zhu Kun would be happier later.

If I bring up that matter again, his anger will lessen.

Jiang Xing said, "Uncle Zhukun, you and Ziyan chat first, Cailin and I will go upstairs for a look around."

But Zhu Kun didn't play by the rules at all.

He said directly, "It's alright. Take out the ancient jade and let me out first. I still have a lot to say to Ziyan. Let me out, and we can talk slowly when we get back to Dragon Island."

"Ah? Ah, this..." Jiang Xing hesitated.

Zhu Kun noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Xing, and then, as if realizing something, he said, "You didn't forget to bring the ancient jade, did you?"

He suddenly became serious.

Jiang Xing felt a little guilty, but he also knew that he was in the wrong. After thinking of some words, he began to explain.

"Uncle Zhukun, I'm sorry, I didn't get those seven ancient jade pieces..."

Jiang Xing explained why he didn't get the ancient jade and apologized to Zhu Kun for his youthful impetuosity back then...

"Uncle Zhukun, I promise I will get the ancient jade in fifty years."

Fifty years is nothing to a powerful expert like Zhu Kun, but the shattering of his hope of escaping made him somewhat displeased.

Just as Zhu Kun was about to say something to teach Jiang Xing a lesson...

Zi Yan suddenly spoke up: "It was I who told Jiang Xing to wait fifty years before taking action."

This sentence immediately silenced Zhu Kun, who was about to say something.

Zhu Kun: "Huh?"

He looked at his daughter in disbelief.

Zi Yan continued, "It's not Jiang Xing's fault. I just feel that the current strength of the Ancient Void Dragon is not strong enough, and I want to wait another fifty years."

"If we were to try and steal the ancient jade now, the risk would be very high and the success rate would be very low. I don't think you would want me to get hurt or be killed by someone else, would you?" Zi Yan looked at Zhu Kun.

Jiang Xing, who was watching from the side, was completely dumbfounded. This... is this what women are like? They lie without batting an eye, and even gave Zhu Kun a soul-searching question.

The anger that Zhu Kun had been holding back was completely released in an instant.

He shook his head like a rattle-drum, and began to explain, "No, no, no, I don't want that, of course Dad doesn't want you to get hurt..."

Zhu Kun was completely controlled by Zi Yan.

Zhu Kun always felt that he owed his daughter something and always wanted to make up for it, so he never dared to show any temper when dealing with Zi Yan.

He said with a fawning expression, "Dad was just joking with young friend Jiang Xing. Dad isn't in a hurry to go out. It's fine if you wait until you're ready before you try to snatch the ancient jade. Dad can wait. It's only fifty years. Dad's not in a rush..."

Zhu Kun was somewhat reckless with his words.

Jiang Xing rolled his eyes at Zhu Kun's rapid change of expression.

But seeing Zhu Kun, she felt a little reluctant, after all, it was her own fault.

So, Jiang Xing stepped in to smooth things over.

With Jiang Xing stepping in to smooth things over, Zi Yan's attitude towards Zhu Kun improved somewhat.

This greatly reduced Zhu Kun's resentment towards Jiang Xing.

Jiang Xing apologized to Zhu Kun again and explained why he broke his promise.

Hearing Jiang Xing's sincere apology, and having a reasonable explanation.

Zhu Kun stopped pursuing Jiang Xing's mistake of breaking the agreement, mainly because Zi Yan was there and he didn't dare to get angry.

Jiang Xing knew that the father and daughter had a lot to talk about, so after taking the ancient jade back from Zhu Kun, he and Cai Lin left first.

"Zi Yan, you and Senior Zhu Kun have a good chat. Cai Lin and I will be waiting for you in the Snake-People Clan."

Zi Yan: "What's there for me to talk about with him?"

Zhu Kun's eyes dimmed.

Jiang Xing knew that Zi Yan had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and couldn't bear to see Zhu Kun like this, so he said, "Let's chat a little longer. I didn't explain in enough detail just now, so you can help me explain why I stood you up..."

Zhu Kun looked at Jiang Xing with gratitude.

Jiang Xing returned his gaze.

Zhu Kun: Thank you, young friend Jiang Xing.

Jiang Xing: You're welcome.

The two men communicated silently through their eyes.

To prevent Zi Yan from feeling embarrassed, Jiang Xing pulled Cai Lin away, leaving the father and daughter alone.

Zi Yan: "Then shall I tell you more about what's happening outside?"

"Yes, yes!" Zhu Kun nodded repeatedly.

……

"Husband, how come Ziyan's father is imprisoned there?" Cailin asked curiously.

"Back then, Zi Yan's father brought..." Jiang Xing explained to Cai Lin as they traveled.
