Chapter 696 The Secret of the Sea Palace
A mysterious light flashed, and Yun Che had been teleported to the first floor of the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce.
As the lowest "class" floor of the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce, the breath here is not as rich as the seventh floor and is extremely energetic. Yun Che looked ahead. This was a simple and elegant separate room, and in the layout, it should be an ordinary hospitality room. Before he could see the whole picture clearly, his eyes suddenly stopped there.
Next to the dark red wooden table, a gentle middle-aged man slowly stood up and smiled slightly at him: "Che'er, you're here."
Yun Che opened his mouth, and a sharp sourness broke out between his nose. He quickly walked forward and bowed heavily: "Uncle Xia..." He paused and immediately changed his words: "My father-in-law, I finally saw you again."
"Haha, get up." Xia Hongyi reached out and helped Yun Che up. He looked at him gently, and nodded happily: "In a flash, it has been more than six years, and you have grown up. Although your appearance has not changed much, it was only when you and Qingyue got married. Now, they are half a head taller than me."
Indeed, he had never seen Xia Hongyi since he was forced to leave Xiaomen. He returned to Liuyun City and wanted to visit Xia Hongyi first, but learned that he had left home and disappeared. Three years ago, he came to Shenhuang City and accidentally learned that he was in the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce, but he felt ashamed of him and did not meet him... Now, it has been more than six years since we met again.
From Xia Hongyi, Yun Che did not feel the negative emotions such as darkness and silence. Instead, it was a peaceful leisure and elegance, which also made him feel better. He smiled and said, "If you want to say something about growing up, Yuan Ba really 'grown'. If your father-in-law sees Yuan Ba now, he might not be able to recognize him."
"Oh? So, have you seen Yuanba?" Xia Hongyi smiled even more gently, but his eyes showed deep concern.
"Well." Yun Che emphasized the key point. The news from the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce was the most well-informed. He believed that Xia Hongyi knew a lot of things: "Yuanba is really amazing now. He is now guarding the last line of defense of our Cangfeng Kingdom, carrying the heaviest and great mission of our Cangfeng Kingdom on his shoulders... With him, even if the Divine Phoenix Kingdom has thousands of troops, he will not invade the imperial city at all!"
"Good... so good." Xia Hongyi nodded slightly, still smiling with deep pride and satisfaction.
"When we are blessed with disaster and the day of our resurrection, you father and son can be reunited... and this day will definitely not be far away."
"Yuanba..." Xia Hongyi said lightly, and then exclaimed, carrying too many complex emotions that no one could understand. No one would have thought..., including his father, Xia Yuanba, who was talented in Liuyun City, could only be called the doctrine of the mean, and in Cangfeng Xuan Mansion, had only become a laughing stock, but had risen at a mythical speed in just a few years. Now, he has stood on the top of Tianxuan, which has shocked the four holy places.
Compared to the shock and incredible others, Xia Hongyi's feelings about Xia Yuanba's changes are much more complicated.
The two sat opposite each other and talked freely. Yun Che has always respected Xia Hongyi very much. Because in those years in Liuyun City, he had only two people about his elders... one was his grandfather Xiao Lie, and the other was Xia Hongyi. Because in addition to his relatives, Xia Hongyi was the only elder who truly cared about him, a "borrow man", and was always gentle and respectful. He never mentioned half of the words to refuse his genius daughter to marry him, such a "borrow man", and even the big marriage matters were handled by him personally.
After experiencing two lifetimes of grudges and death, he knew better than anyone else how precious the true warmth was when he was at the most down and out, when others were ridiculed by others.
Xia Qingyue entered the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace, and Xia Yuanba’s whereabouts were unknown... The attack on Xia Hongyi back then was too heavy. In order to find Xia Yuanba’s whereabouts, he left his ancestral property, left Liuyun City, and entered the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce with the opportunity left by his ancestors. By chance, he entered the assembly.
During the years of the Black Moon Association, he did the same thing every day, met different people, and went to inquire about his children every few days, as well as Yun Che's news, which made his mood gradually become more and more peaceful.
"My father-in-law, I have a question, I want to know the answer. But as a junior, I might not ask..." Faced with Xia Hongyi, Yun Che wanted to ask the doubt that had been entrenched in his heart for a long time, but even though he had decided to ask, he was still hesitating... After all, it might be very likely to touch the nerve that Xia Hongyi was most sensitive.
"Are you trying to ask... Yuanba and Qingyue's mother?" Xia Hongyi looked at him and said slowly.
"..." Yun Che looked surprised.
"Haha, anyone will be surprised." Xia Hongyi smiled faintly, and then a layer of sadness appeared on his face: "Yuanba and Qingyue were clearly born in a merchant family. Our Xia family has been a merchant for generations. I, my deceased father, and my grandfather are all like this. They only practice Xuandao occasionally and have no interest in it. However, Qingyue has had extremely high Xuandao talent since she was a child. Yuanba... has shown talents far different from ordinary people in recent years."
Yun Che was silent for a moment and nodded gently: "Because I know more about some inside story, I have more doubts than others."
"I already know that Yuanba has a special power called the 'Bully Emperor's Divine Vein'. I don't know very well what the 'Bully Emperor' is about, but I know that the 'Bully Emperor' is the first person in the Xuandao Continent, the Holy Emperor of the Huangji Holy Realm, favored Yuanba because of this. After being exposed three years, the other three holy places were also shocked. In the past three years, many people have visited me openly and secretly. After finding out my origin and my mysterious power, they all returned in disappointment, haha..."
Xia Hongyi shook his head slightly and smiled faintly, but his expression was not helpless, but a kind of self-mockery that others could not understand.
Xia Hongyi's many reactions show that he was not surprised or unacceptable to the talent he showed in his son Xia Yuanba and his daughter Xia Qingyue, but was more melancholy. Yun Che said: "I just asked casually about this because of curiosity. It doesn't matter what my father-in-law doesn't want to say..."
"It was a cold winter twenty-five years ago." Before Yun Che finished speaking, Xia Hongyi's voice sounded immediately. He looked up at the green ceiling, and his eyes became vague: "I completed a big business outside. On the way back, the sky was almost evening, and it suddenly fell heavily, and it was so cold that it was unbearable. In order to return to Liuyun City before dark, I took the way in and crossed a mountain where mysterious beasts often appear. I suddenly stopped halfway through the journey, and the servant reported to me... A man in the snow was found in front of me."
"It was a young woman of similar age to me, all over white, but mostly bloody. Although I was only in my twenties at that time, I was born in a merchant family. I was taught by my family since I was a child. I knew that as a businessman, I must not be involved in the grievances of Xuanzhe. Saving this unknown origin is obviously a person who was chased by enemies, which is a great taboo as a businessman. However, the woman not only had a very beautiful face, but also had an indescribable special temperament. She was unconscious in the snow, as if she was so angry that she was weak that people couldn't control her... In the end, I rescued her and brought her back to Liuyun City together... Although I knew very well at that time that this behavior might bring great disasters to myself."
"..." Yun Che listened quietly. He knew that the woman Xia Hongyi rescued must be the mother of Xia Yuanba and Xia Qingyue.
They actually met in this way.
So, what is her identity?
"After I took her home, she was still awake for a long time, and her vitality became weaker and weaker. So I searched for famous doctors and even sent people to the Crescent City for medical treatment many times, but they all said that she was 'life was exhausted and she was unable to turn things around'. After seven days, I had given up, but she woke up quietly... After waking up, she was not only extremely weak, but also had all her memories."
"All memory is lost?" Yun Che frowned suddenly.
"That's right. She doesn't know why she was injured, she doesn't know where she came from, and even who she is. Perhaps it was because of a head injury that caused amnesia. After that, she stayed in the Xia family. Because she was always weak, she almost never left the house. I took care of her personally. In order to make her feel better, once she found out that there was a good Ganoderma lucidum, I would not buy it at all costs... But what's strange is that no matter how she nourished her, she was always weak and she would be out of breath even after taking more than a dozen steps, but fortunately, she never had any other symptoms."
Various nourishing and tonic...even great tonic, but always weak? At the same time, there is no sign of being weak and not being supplemented?
Yun Che's eyebrows flickered, and a trace of confusion flashed across his face.
"Because I met her in the cold winter and met in the snow, I named her Dongxue, which happened to be in line with "Xia Dong". I spent all day and night with her, and I was in love with each other. Although I never knew who she was and where she came from, I still couldn't control my emotions and married her two years later. Soon after, she became pregnant. Because of her physical weakness, the doctors advised her to give up the fetus, otherwise it would be extremely dangerous for childbirth. I also advised her the same way, but she insisted on giving birth... Just seven months later, she suddenly gave birth prematurely and gave birth to Qingyue."
"Maybe it was because of premature birth, and his mother's physical condition was too weak, Qingyue did not cry when she was born, and her whole body was cold. The midwife and doctor all said that they were dead babies. Fortunately, your father Xiao Ying came and noticed that Qingyue was still alive, so he lost all his mysterious power to Qingyue, protecting her heart and protecting her last chance. It was also under Xiao Ying's full rescue. Qingyue miraculously improved after an hour and made a crying sound..."
"..." Yun Che's heart was deeply touched. He heard Xiao Lie talk about these things when he was very young, and almost everyone in Liuyun City knew about them. It was precisely because Xia Qingyue's life was saved by Xiao Ying that Xia Hongyi, with endless gratitude, proposed on the spot to marry Xia Qingyue to Xiao Ying's son in order to repay his life-saving grace.
Xia Hongyi closed his eyes slightly and continued to say, "I thought Qingyue would suffer this disaster as soon as she was born, and her body would definitely be weak and sick. But what was surprised was that Qingyue had been sick since childhood, grew up safely, and was extremely intelligent, and her mind was far more mature than her peers. Her mother also improved rapidly after giving birth to her. In one month, she was no different from ordinary people and had no sign of weakness. A year later, she gave birth to Yuanba for me..."
Having said this, Xia Hongyi's voice paused. He still looked up at the sky, his eyes were completely confused, and his hands were trembling faintly. He joined hands with the loved ones, both children, and his wife recovered from illness, and his children were healthy. He was still guarding a rich family business... In the eyes of anyone, especially in Xia Hongyi's own eyes, he already had the most perfect life.
Xia Hongyi was silent for a long time, as if immersed in the infinite joy and satisfaction of the past. After a long time, Yun Che finally broke his silence: "What... what later? Grandpa said that Yuanba and Qingyue's mother died of illness... Is it true?"
He had never doubted this before, nor had he reason to doubt it.
But at this moment, he had no reason not to doubt.
"When Qingyue was four years old and the third year of Yuanba, she... left." Xia Hongyi said in a dreamy way.
The two words "leave...?" can have many meanings.
"She flew away... like a fairy."
Yun Che: "!?"
"On that day, she suddenly recovered her memory that had been sleeping for many years, and also recovered her power that had been sleeping for many years... She didn't stay for one more day, or even for an hour... Just left... Although she was crying, she left with great determination... She said that when her strength was restored, her breath had been discovered... If she didn't leave, it would bring me a huge disaster to me and her children... When she left, she said... In this life, she will never meet again... and never look for her... Just pretend she already..."
Xia Hongyi's voice was very painful. Even though nearly twenty years had passed, Xia Hongyi's reaction proved that he still had not forgotten or let go. He had a huge family business and was the richest man in Liuyun City, but he had never married him in these years and had never even taken a concubine. It can be imagined that the woman he named "Dongxue" had multiple weights and irreplaceable status in his heart.
"Then did she... say... or mention vaguely... where did she go?" Yun Che asked tentatively in a very small voice, thinking in his mind how he should comfort Xia Hongyi at this time.
Xia Hongyi did not shake his head. He let out a sigh of relief and in a foggy voice, he spoke the four words that he had been engraved in his heart, but had never found any information or traces in more than ten years...
"The Realm of Gods."
"!!" Yun Che was stunned suddenly, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
————————————
When Yun Che walked out of the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce, it was almost noon.
He looked at the bright sky and sighed heavily: "I really didn't expect that Qingyue and Yuanba's biological mothers... would be so bizarre and complicated. No wonder they had such a scary talent, one of the Overlord's Divine Vein, one of the Ice and Snow Glazed Heart and Jiuxuan Lingyi Body... Their mothers actually came from such a place."
"The first time I heard the name 'Lord of Gods' was from the Dragon God. This time, I actually heard it from Uncle Xia's mouth." Yun Che let out a long breath, and the inner turmoil was hard to calm down.
"It is possible to give birth to a daughter with the Overlord's Divine Vein and the Ice and Snow Glazed Heart. That woman definitely has a high status even in the realm of the gods." Jasmine said lightly.
"No woman is really willing to part with her husband and children forever... She must have great difficulties." Yun Che said to herself: "If one day we can go to that place called the 'Lord of Gods', maybe we can try to find her trace...even for Yuanba and Qingyue."
Feeling the soul fluctuations when Yun Che talked to himself, Jasmine in the Sky Poison Pearl moved her slender eyebrows slightly and suddenly said, "Do you really have any plans to go to the realm of the gods?"
"Of course." Yun Che nodded directly: "After all, I personally promised the Dragon God to do enough to find and reach that place called the Realm of the Gods. I can have such a powerful body, bloodline, and soul as it is now, all it gives at the cost of destroying itself. What I promised it will naturally have to do with all my strength. However, it is just full strength... If I cannot reach such a state for the rest of my life, I will naturally be powerless."
"I suggest that you should advise yourself to dispel this stupid idea." Jasmine said coldly.
"Hmm? Why? Don't you want me to go there?" Yun Che was slightly stunned.
"Hmph, now is not the time for you to think about these things." Jasmine toughly changed the topic: "You should think more about the relationship between the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce and the Supreme Sea Palace now."
"No need to think about this." Yun Che turned around and looked at the dark waning moon towering into the sky: "Behind the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce is the Supreme Sea Palace...or, the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce is originally the other half of the Supreme Sea Palace."
"The other three holy lands have their own huge resource chains and resource fields, but the Supreme Sea Palace is in a sea with water on all sides. However, its status in the four holy lands has never declined, even surpassing the Sun and Moon God Palace and the Tianwei Sword Domain, second only to the Huangji Holy Land. If there is no huge resource supply in the continent, how can it be achieved? And this huge resource chain is naturally the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce."
"Zi Ji should have guessed that I would think of the relationship between the Black Moon Chamber of Commerce and the Supreme Sea Palace based on what he said. However, this should not be a secret at the holy land level. However, Zi Ji forced himself to buy ten Overlord Pills from me and severely underestimated the other three holy lands." Yun Che reached out and nodded his chin: "In this way, he exclusively had ten Supreme Sea Palace, and the other three holy lands... No! These twenty Supreme Sea Palaces will definitely come to grab them, otherwise the other three holy lands will be suspicious. In this way, the family of five, and the Supreme Sea Palace will exclusively have fifteen..."
"Well, then I have three thousand Ice Cloud Immortal Palace!"
"That's all about the holy land, hahahaha!" Thinking of this, Yun Che was in a good mood and strode towards the west... directly pointing to the direction of the Phoenix Divine Sect.
"Hmph, you used things you refined with the Xuantian treasure like the Heavenly Poison Pearl to despise a group of low-level forces, which is simply a blasphemy of the holy objects! You are even proud of this!" Jasmine snorted coldly, extremely disdainful.
"Next, how should I collect debts..." Yun Che looked in the direction of the Phoenix Divine Sect, and his voice suddenly became gloomy.
————————————
Phoenix City is located in the southwest of the Divine Phoenix City, belongs to the Divine Phoenix City and exists alone. It is a special city in the city. Phoenix City, like the Divine Phoenix Palace, is the core of the Phoenix Divine Sect. The difference is that one is the core of power and the other is the core of power. Both have unparalleled prestige and deterrence in the Divine Phoenix Empire and even the Seven Kingdoms of Tianxuan.
As we approached Phoenix City, a heart-pounding sensation of oppression and obvious hot air came towards us.
This is Yun Che's second time here, but compared to three years ago, both purpose and mood have changed drastically. Looking at the city gate that raised its head and wings, releasing the scorching phoenix sculpture, he no longer had the amazement and awe of three years ago. What flashed in his mind were the devastated land of Cangfeng Country, the dilapidated city, the displaced people, the battlefield full of bones... The tablets of Cangwan Valley... Cangyue's tears... The shouts of Cangfeng soldiers... Sikongdu roared in anger and despair...
Anger and hatred were ignited in his chest and burned violently... He could not forget his purpose and mission for coming here, nor could he forget the bloody 50 million... and the almost coming hatred of the country.
"Who! This is Phoenix City, not where you mortals should come. Come away!"
In front of the gate of Phoenix City, the guardian Phoenix disciple took a few steps forward and scolded Yun Che in a proud tone. From Yun Che, he did not feel the phoenix aura, and the people of the Divine Phoenix City without the phoenix aura, even in the eyes of these lowest phoenix disciples, they were only inferior people, and naturally they did not have the qualification to enter Phoenix City.
"Hmm? Why does this person look so familiar?" The guard disciple on the right curled his lips and said.
Yun Che narrowed his eyes slightly and said gently with his unparalleled luck: "Go to report to your sect leader Feng Hengkong, and just say that Yun Che is here to visit."
