Leaving

"It's my fault, it's my fault! I shouldn't have coveted the Ancient Emperor's Cave Dwelling! It's all that bastard Tou She Ancient God's fault! He plotted against me and made me trapped for so long!"

Seeing the tears in Zi Yan's eyes, Zhu Kun panicked and frantically tried to step forward:

"Child, don't cry, don't cry. It's all my fault. From now on, whatever you ask me to do, I'll do it. If you don't believe me, I swear it's true."

Little did she know that Zi Yan would sniffle lightly, dodge his hands, and go straight to Xiao Ming 'Xiao Ming side, taking his arm without even looking at him.

Seeing this, Zhu Kun was struck dumb, and his gaze toward Xiao Ming turned fierce.

"There's no need to be so hostile towards me. I just helped you out."

Feeling Zhu Kun's gaze, Xiao Ming felt somewhat helpless. However, he could understand; if his daughter were closer to other men than to him, he would also feel uncomfortable.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Ming stroked Zi Yan's soft purple hair under Zhu Kun's fierce gaze and said.

"I think Zi Yan has already made a decision about this. Follow your heart and make your choice. I will support you no matter what."

"Um!"

Zi Yan nodded heavily, glancing at Zhu Kun's bitter face, her eyes subtly changing.

"Xiao Ming and I came here to enter the Bronze Door. Can you open it?"

Seeing Zi Yan so close to Xiao Ming, Zhu Kun felt a mix of emotions. However, since Zi Yan was willing to talk to him, he couldn't care less about anything else.

"No, behind this Bronze gate lies the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave. Without the ancient Ancient Jade he left behind, no one can open it."

"Back then, I relied on my strength and tried to force my way out, which is why this old bastard ambushed me and trapped me here. That's why I've been waiting for the one who possesses the Ancient Jade to arrive."

Zi Yan frowned, her face showing disappointment.

"Only Ancient Jade can restore your freedom, and only Ancient Jade can open the Bronze gate. Wouldn't our trip have been for nothing then?"

Perhaps Zi Yan didn't care either, as she didn't seem to have much resistance to Zhu Kun calling her father.

Seeing Zi Yan's disappointment, Zhu Kun felt guilty, but he didn't have any good ideas. If he had a way, he wouldn't have been trapped here for thousands of years and unable to escape.

"What is Senior Zhu Kun's purpose in wanting to enter the Ancient Emperor's Cave Dwelling?"

Xiao Ming picked up the conversation and asked slowly.

Zhu Kun stared at Xiao Ming, who seemed to have already abducted his daughter, with an unfriendly gaze. He was about to speak when Zi Yan glared at him, so he could only reply sullenly.

"Tou She Ancient God was the last Dou Di, and there is an opportunity to become Become Emperor within him." Although Zhu Kun mentioned the opportunity to become Become Emperor, he held back in his words.

Ultimately, Zhu Kun didn't really trust Xiao Ming. If it weren't for Zi Yan, it would be considered kind of him not to kill Zhu Kun Xiao Ming.

How could they possibly reveal all the information about the Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion without reservation?

As for the matter of becoming Become Emperor, there is no need to keep it a secret. Whether Xiao Ming reveals it or not, there is no way to open the Cave Mansion without the Ancient Jade. As long as someone comes with the Tou She Ancient God Jade, he will be able to escape.

Zhu Kun was calculating his plans meticulously, but unfortunately, he didn't know that Xiao Ming knew more about the Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion than he did.

Therefore, Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes almost imperceptibly.

Indeed, how could Zhu Kun possibly reveal such an opportunity to Become Emperor? In the original Timeline, the other party knew that the opportunity to become a Become Emperor in the Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion included Emperor Grade Embryonic Pill and the Emperor Origin within the statue of the Tou She Ancient God.

Finally, when the Hun Tiandi began refining the continent, he revealed the secret of the Ancient Emperor Tuoshe's Statue.

The temptation of Become Emperor was simply too great; it's only human nature, and there's not much to say about it.

Xiao Ming also did not intend to give the Origin Emperor Qi that he had simulated to Zhu Kun.

Firstly, there is still room for maneuver regarding the Soul Clan's issues.

Secondly, his strength is sufficient to break through quickly, and he has the ability to protect himself, so he doesn't need to rely on others.

Thirdly, he has more than one wife. Given Zhu Kun's doting fatherly nature, he would definitely teach him a lesson once he found out, and he has no intention of being taught a lesson himself. Even if this woman is his future Father-in-law, it won't do.

However, this means that Zi Yan will have to suffer, and they won't be able to reunite sooner.

Of course, Zi Yan wasn't very clear about these things, so after a moment of silence, she said in a cool tone:

"I will collect Ancient Jade to help you leave in the future!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Kun's face lit up with a smile, knowing that Zi Yan had begun to accept him.

Next, Zhu Kun asked Zi Yan about the current situation of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan. After learning that the Ancient Void Dragon had split up, he was furious.

However, now that the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan has been unified by Zi Yan, her anger has subsided considerably.

Finally, Zi Yan got impatient with the questions and pulled Xiao Ming, wanting to leave.

At that moment, Xiao Ming heard Zhu Kun's voice.

"Kid, remember to take good care of Zi Yan. If you dare to bully her, wait until I get out of here and see how I deal with you."

During the questioning of Zi Yan, Zhu Kun learned that Xiao Ming took good care of Zi Yan. Although he was somewhat unhappy that his daughter had been abducted, he had no choice but to ask Xiao Ming to take good care of Zi Yan.

Xiao Ming turned around and saw that Zhu Kun's face was fierce and menacing.

"Of course, I would have done it even without you telling me."

"I know some information about the Ancient Jade. There used to be three pieces, but they were later divided into eight pieces due to a great war. Now, each Ancient Imperial Clan has one piece of the Ancient Jade."

I actually have an Ancient Jade piece, but I didn't bring it this time. I'll try to collect the rest of the Ancient Jade so that you can regain your freedom as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ming took a step forward, his figure turning into a blur as he flew back to where he had come from.

Upon hearing Xiao Ming's words, Zhu Kun turned around, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, followed by a look of relief. His stern and imposing face gradually softened.

Until Xiao Ming's figure passed through the spatial interlayer without any hindrance and completely disappeared into this Dark Void.

Looking at the void, a look of disgust flashed in Zhu Kun's eyes. It was this seemingly fragile spatial layer that had bound him in the Dark Void.

He could only guard the Cave Mansion of the Tou She Ancient God in endless solitude, waiting for the appearance of the Ancient Emperor's successor who had collected all the Ancient Jade.

On the other side, as soon as Xiao Ming and Zi Yan emerged from the spatial interlayer, they were enveloped by two extremely powerful Aura. Of course, these extremely powerful Aura were only significant to others; to Xiao Ming and Zi Yan, they were nothing special.

Following the Aura, they saw two white Lizardmen.

Upon seeing that the two men had survived, the two Lizardmen exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

Ignoring the two things, Xiao Ming and Zi Yan exchanged a glance and rushed straight up to the upper level.

"Bang!"

At the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Refining Pagoda, in the passage leading to the Lava World, magma suddenly surged out, and then two figures rushed out amidst the expectant gazes of Great Elder Su Qian and the others.
