The Great Wild God - Chapter 416
Chapter 416 East Cliff Old Man
A cold wind blew, and the eastern cliff of the Azure Dragon Ridge turned into ice.
Nan Liao, whose beard was white, was wrapped in thick snow bear fur clothes. He was still unable to withstand the bone-piercing cold. He stood on the top of the East Cliff, his entire body trembling. He could be blown down by the cold wind at any moment. Looking at the boundless dragon-like mountains in the east, the blood in his body was already frozen. He still did not want to go down the mountain to avoid the cold.
A beautiful figure dressed in green swept over from below the mountain. She stamped her feet and said coquettishly,
“Great Grandpa, you’re already over a hundred years old. Why aren’t you relieved? Why are you crawling to the East Ridge by yourself when you have nothing else to do?”
Nan Liao could no longer see the heroic figure who had fought on the battlefield back then. He was benevolent and kind-eyed. Hearing the girl’s concerned reprimand, he laughed and wrinkled his face like an old tree root. His thick beard under his chin was even whiter than the snow on the mountains.
“If I don’t come back, I’m afraid I won’t be able to see him for the last time.” Nan Liao shook his head and said. He brushed away the snow on the rocks and sat down trembling. His dizzy old eyes were still fixed on the mountains to the east.
The young girl took out a cyan magic pearl from her bag of holding and released a ball of profound light, blocking the wind and snow around Nan Liao. Her beautiful face was filled with yearning as she said, “Great Grandfather, tell me more about the Battle of the Thousand Devil Sand Sea.”
“That was more than 30 years ago. Your father’s face is still full of snot …” Nan Liao sank into his memories of the past. Thinking of the bloody battles before and after, so many people were buried in the wilderness. The mouth of the Demon Ruins was a sharp blade hanging in the hearts of everyone, and his eyebrows couldn’t help but tremble slightly.
Recovering from his memories of the past, Nan Liao waved his hand and said, “Let’s not talk anymore. Let’s go back.”
“Don’t say anything. You haven’t said anything to Ah Ke yet.” The young girl shook Nan Liao’s arm unyieldingly and said coquettishly.
“Too many people have died. It hurts to think about it,” Nan Liao smiled bitterly. “It’s not as fun as you young men think it is now.”
“Then great-grandpa, tell Ah Ke about the sect master again.”
“When Ah Xun first arrived at the black python, he was not even ten years old. He walked in the vast jungle of Mountain Parasol for several months without encountering any ferocious beasts. He was blessed. At that time, it was Duke Shaman who saw that Ah Xun was extraordinary. Only by leaving him in the stronghold would there be a legend … “Nan Liao thought of Chen Xun’s initial years in the Black Python Stone Village with a warm heart, but when he thought of how he would not be able to see Chen Xun for long, he was also filled with melancholy. He struggled to stand up and slowly walked down the mountain along the stone path called Ice Sealing.
The Azure Dragon Ridge was located deep in the southern foothills of Wushan Mountain. It was the location of Kuilong Pavilion’s sect. The Wushan City below the mountain was not large in scale, and there were only tens of thousands of people living there. Most of them were descendants of the nine races of the Northern Mountain.
Whether it was the sect of Kui Long Pavilion or the settlement of the nine races of Bei Shan, they all decided the important position of Wu Shan City in Cang Lan. Over the years, more than a hundred disciples of Wushan City have advanced into the Reincarnation Realm and become core disciples of the four sects.
Nan Liao’s hundred-year-old body was already extremely weak, and he had not been able to advance into the Reincarnation Realm in his lifetime. He had resigned as the City Lord of Wushan City twenty years ago and was idle at home, but he was extremely respected in Wushan City and even in the entire Azure Water Valley.
Nan Liao had a serious illness the year before last, and he almost couldn’t endure it. It was only when the head of the Nature’s Night Haoran Sect, Chi Songzi, personally rushed over to apply acupuncture medication for him that he managed to survive from the Gate of Hell.
However, Nan Liao was also clear in his heart. He hadn’t advanced into the Reincarnation Realm. A hundred years of age was already an extremely long life. There were no other regrets in his life. He just wanted to see Chen Xun again before he closed his eyes.
Thinking that this last hope would be in vain, Nan Liao’s heart was filled with melancholy as he descended the mountain. He didn’t want to trouble others, thinking that he probably wouldn’t be able to climb the East Ridge again in the future.
“Ao!”
Suddenly, a giant beast leapt out from the mountains to the north of the Azure Dragon Ridge and roared towards the sky.
“Why did Ah Qing run out and scream?” The girl raised her head and saw Ah Qing jump onto the East Cliff where they had just stopped. Firefox and Golden Wolf also jumped out from the dense forest in the north and howled towards the east. Her heart tightened. She thought that some powerful enemy had intruded into Mountain Parasol from the east. Just as she was about to pull out her spirit sword, she flew onto the East Cliff to see what was going on, only to see her great-grandfather’s body trembling with excitement.
“It’s Ah Xun. It must be Ah Qing who sensed that Ah Xun had returned to Mountain Parasol.” Nan Liao was so excited that he couldn’t speak. He turned around and wanted to go back to the East Cliff, but his extremely weak body didn’t have the slightest bit of strength.
The young girl released a profound light and wrapped around her and Nan Liao’s bodies, flying towards the eastern cliff.
Seeing Nan Liao and the girl flying over, Ah Qing looked at the girl in disgust, but lowered her head affectionately to rub against Nan Liao’s body.
At this moment, Ah Qing’s body was three zhang tall, and Nan Liao, who was two meters tall, was like a tiny girl beside him.
The golden wolf sobbed twice and lay lazily on the black ice, not even willing to pay attention to Nan Liao.
At this moment, the Firefox was also twenty zhang tall. It raised three large, flaming tails and swayed in the wind. After hesitating for a while, it always gathered a cloud of mist and jumped up.
At this time, the young girl saw several rainbow shadows swiftly rushing over from the boundless ridge to the east.
**********************
“Uncle Nan Liao …”
When he flew above the Azure Dragon Ridge, Chen Xun was the first to see Nan Liao, who had white beards and a dragon bell, standing on the edge of the cliff and looking up, his heart burning.
“Ah Xun.” Nan Liao had already exhausted his last breath of life. His old face emitted a satisfied smile, and he no longer had the strength to stand up from the stone.
At this moment, several rainbow shadows flew over from the Azure Dragon Ridge and Wu Shan City.
Seeing Chen Xun, who had left Mountain Parasol for more than 20 years, return to Tie Xintong with Mountain Parasol, Gu Jianfeng, Gu Chengzhuo, and the others, Zhou Yang, Zuo Qingmu, Su Junyuan, Zong Ya, and Qing Xuan were all so excited that they were unable to speak.
Chen Xun flew to the cliff and helped Uncle Nan Liao up from the rock. He discovered that he had reached the point where his oil was running dry. He channeled the pure pill essence into his body and protected the last bit of life force of Nan Liao. He didn’t care about reminiscing with Qing Xuan and the others. He asked, “Where is a quiet room for me to help Uncle Nan Liao cultivate?”
“To be able to see Ah Xun again before the end of my life, Uncle, my wish has been fulfilled. I have no regrets in this life.” Nan Liao replied.
Qing Xuan and the others knew that Nan Liao had already reached the point of exhaustion. Earlier, it was also Master Crimson Pine who had personally cast a spell to renew Nan Liao’s life for two years. At this moment, it was not easy to renew his life.
However, everyone knew Chen Xun’s friendship towards the group of old men of the black python. The death of Duke Wu Zongtu had already caused Chen Xun to feel extremely sad. He had rushed back to see Nan Liao for the last time. If he didn’t do anything, he would definitely not feel good in his heart.
Nan Liao’s life was over, so he naturally had to stop in the Nan Clan’s mansion.
Everyone didn’t say anything else as they hugged Chen Xun, who was carrying Nan Liao, and flew towards the Nanshi mansion in Mountain Parasol City.
*************************
More than a thousand Azure Water Armored Guards wrapped around the Nan Clan mansion, sealing off the four nearby streets and prohibiting pedestrians from approaching the Nan Clan mansion.
Everyone in the city was both shocked and surprised. They didn’t know what was happening in the Nan Clan’s mansion, but they actually had the City Lord Zong Ya directly mobilize the Azure Water Armored Guards to seal off the streets and alleys on the left and right.
Some people couldn’t restrain their curiosity and wanted to climb up high to take a look. They didn’t want many layers of wind and clouds to gather and cover up the entire Nan Clan.
Some disciples overestimated themselves and wanted to extend their Spiritual Sense, but they heard the City Lord shouting in the thick fog, “Whoever dares to spy on them again will be thrown into the North Ridge to dig for ore!”
Everyone was shocked. One-armed Sect Cliff was not an easy person to deal with. If he was really angered, any family that came to plead for mercy would definitely be pushed out.
Nan Xingyi was the descendant of Nan Xi and also the current clan head of the Nan clan. The Zuo Commandant of Wushan City looked at the empty inner courtyard covered in a thick mist. Zong Ya Hengdao sat in front of the inner courtyard’s moon gate and asked with a bitter face,
“Uncle, the Sect Master is going back to Mountain Parasol to renew his life for Old Master. Why can’t even I go in and wait on him? If anything happens to Grandpa, I have to listen to him on the spot.”
“Why are you talking so much nonsense?” Zong Ya glared at Nan Xingyi and said, “Are you looking forward to the old man’s early death?”
‘”Pei pei pei,” Nan Xingyi spat a few times and flattered, “I forgot to say that this is unlucky. The old master’s life is hard. Now that the sect master personally takes care of the old master, I don’t think it’s a problem to be a hundred years old again. However, the Zuo, Gu, and Tie families know that the sect master has returned to Mountain Parasol and is waiting outside the courtyard, so they shouldn’t let them come in first.”
“None of you have seen Chen Xun before. How can you catch up with him now?” Zong Ya grinned and asked, “Tell them to wait outside.”
Nan Xingyi had a bitter expression on his face. He could only ask his eldest son, Nan Yu, to bring in another stone stool. He wanted to sit at the head of the cliff and wait, but he didn’t want Ah Qing, who had a huge body, to jump into the courtyard and squeeze him aside.
Ah Qing, Golden Wolf, and Firefox were the Guardian Spirit Beasts of the Kui Dragon Pavilion. Their strength was no weaker than a peak Heaven Origin Realm expert, so they could only squat in the corner of the courtyard with Kubaba.
*********************
Tie Xinmei, Zong Ling, Gu Feng, and the other direct descendants of the Northern Mountain Nine Clans all put down their business and hurried back to Wu Shan City as quickly as possible after hearing the news of Chen Xun’s return to Mountain Parasol.
Three whole days later, the clouds that enveloped the Nan Clan’s mansion suddenly dissipated. Only then did he obtain permission to enter the inner courtyard with the direct descendants of the nine clans of the Northern Mountain.
He had never imagined that the old man, who had been exhausted earlier, would be sitting on his head with a red face. His body was filled with indescribable vitality, giving off a feeling that he was younger and more energetic than Nan Ke, who was standing behind him. He was chatting and laughing with Chen Xun and the others. How could he look like he was going to die?
Nan Xingyi was secretly surprised and walked forward to salute Chen Xun and the others.
Chen Xun looked at Nan Xingyi. He could vaguely see Nan Xi’s figure on his face. Unfortunately, Nan Xi had passed away in the Divine Night Sect. He didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye, several decades had passed and Nan Xi’s descendant was already in charge.
Everyone standing in the courtyard was the direct descendants of the nine families of the Northern Mountains. Chen Xun was also very kind when he saw this. He took out the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill and the Qianyuan Ruyi Pill from his bosom and distributed them as greetings one by one. Before leaving behind, the patriarchs of the various clans, including Nan Xingyi, and the core clan descendants who had advanced to the Reincarnation Rebirth Realm, asked the other disciples to leave first.
