Xu Taiping had first met Su Qingtan.
It had been after the Golden Scaled Assembly in Youyun Heaven.
Back then, Su Qingtan had sought help everywhere to protect Dongfang Yuejian, who had been afflicted with misfortune.
In the end, only Xu Taiping had extended a helping hand.
Later, when Xu Taiping met Dongfang Yuejian again, he learned from her that her mother, Su Qingtan, had already been brought to the Land of Chaos in Outer Heaven.
Looking at the woman in the distance, Xu Taiping thought to himself:
From the look of things now, she must have been brought to this Land of Chaos in Outer Heaven by the Yu Ling Sect.
Beside him, the Heaven-Hunting Great Sage sensed the change in Xu Taiping's state of mind.
He immediately asked:
"You know that woman?"
Xu Taiping nodded slightly and said:
"She is the mother of a good friend of mine in the Lower Realm."
The Heaven-Hunting Great Sage said with some surprise:
"A good friend?"
In his view, with Xu Taiping's aloof disposition, he ought not to have many good friends.
Xu Taiping nodded solemnly and said:
"Yes."
Dongfang Yuejian and he could be considered friends who had faced life and death together. Before ascending to the Upper Realm, she had even promised to take that clone of his on a journey around the world, so calling her a good friend was no exaggeration.
The Heaven-Hunting Great Sage nodded and said:
"Since she is your good friend's mother, naturally we must help her."
Mo Qingzhu also said earnestly:
"Then we do indeed have to save her."
Xu Taiping hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Thank you both."
At this point, he immediately added:
"But there is no need to rush. Let's first see exactly what is going on.
