"Do you two know why we summoned you back?" Di Qiong, sitting in the main seat, suddenly became stern, his aura of authority filling the entire hall, causing Di Tian and Di Wushuang to break out in a cold sweat and immediately kneel down.
"We know." The two lowered their heads, not daring to meet Di Qiong's gaze.
"What kind of behavior is this? Fighting in Heavenly Canopy City? Are you out of your minds? Don't you know that fighting is forbidden in Heavenly Canopy City? And you're fighting so fiercely, do you want to destroy Heavenly Canopy City? Have you thought about the safety of the people living in Heavenly Canopy City?" Di Qiong got more and more excited and angry as he spoke, while Di Tian and Di Wushuang didn't dare to say a word in rebuttal.
"Considering this is your first offense, I'll let it go this time. But if there's a next time, you'll be severely punished, understand?" Di Qiong reprimanded the two for a long time before stopping.
"Understood!" Di Tian nodded, finally feeling relieved. Di Wushuang beside him remained calm, simply nodding in agreement.
"Step back, Xiaotian, stay." Di Qiong waved his hand.
Di Wushuang's face darkened. He glanced coldly at Di Tian, then turned and left. After leaving the main hall, he punched the stone wall, causing it to collapse with a crash. His face was grim as he said, "Father, you drove me away, but kept Di Tian. This clearly shows you don't value him. Fine, fine, since that's how it is, then don't blame your son for being unfilial!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a sound transmission stone, seemingly using it to transmit his voice...
" Xiaotian, what's your friend's name?" Di Qiong smiled and became more approachable, a stark contrast to his previous serious expression.
Di Tian didn't speak, but glanced at Su Chen. Without Su Chen's permission, he didn't dare to call Su Chen by his name.
" Su Chen," Su Chen said proactively.
Surname Su?
Di Qiong and the elders' eyes gleamed, their minds racing. They quickly located a Su Household faction. Could he be from that Su Household? They frowned. If he was from that Su Household, he was indeed not someone to be trifled with. But why did Di Tian say that Su Chen was someone even the Undying Divine Lord feared?
Seemingly sensing the confusion of Di Qiong and the elders, Di Tian quickly transmitted his voice, recounting the events that had occurred at the Primordial Ruins, word by word. After hearing Di Tian's account, Di Qiong and the elders were nearly scared to death, their eyes widening in disbelief as they stared at Su Chen.
Is this young man a Divine Lord?
Holy crap!
They were all dumbfounded, their heads buzzing. Although they knew that Di Tian wouldn't lie to them, they still refused to believe that Su Chen could be Divine Lord. Divine Lord was the most powerful being in the universe! How could Su Chen possibly be one? It was simply unbelievable.
"Father and elders, whether you believe me or not, listen to me. Never offend my eldest brother, or the consequences will be something my Di Household cannot afford," Di Tian said solemnly.
Di Qiong and the elders snapped out of their shock, their expressions grave. They nodded. Regardless of whether Di Tian was telling the truth, Su Chen was someone they absolutely could not afford to provoke; they dared not gamble with the entire Di Household.
"Ahem, young... Young Master Su, Heavenly Canopy Star is a nice place. Has Di Tian given you a proper tour?" Di Qiong subconsciously became respectful to Su Chen, probably without even realizing it himself.
" Di Tian has already shown me around. The reason I came this time is that I heard your ancestor was a master of formations. Although his cultivation was not high, he was able to set up a formation that could withstand a Divine Lord's attack. Therefore, I would like to meet him. I wonder if that is possible?" Su Chen said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Di Qiong and the elders' expressions changed slightly. They glanced at Di Tian and knew without a doubt that Di Tian had told Su Chen this news. This immediately put them in a dilemma. Their ancestor was currently in seclusion to heal his injuries, and they hadn't seen him for millions of years. If they disturbed him and made his injuries worse, they couldn't bear the responsibility.
"Since it's inconvenient, I won't bother you any longer. Farewell." Su Chen slowly stood up, preparing to leave.
Seeing this, Di Tian immediately became anxious and looked at Di Qiong, transmitting his voice, "Father, let eldest brother go see the Ancestor. Perhaps he can heal the Ancestor's injuries?"
Di Qiong frowned, fell into a brief moment of thought, and quickly said, " Young Master Su, wait a moment!"
He called out to Su Chen, Su Chen paused, then calmly looked at Di Qiong, "Is there anything else, Clan Chief Di?"
" Young Master Su, please don't be angry. The reason we were hesitant was because our ancestor is currently in seclusion healing his injuries and it's not advisable to disturb him. However, if Young Master Su wishes to see him, I..."
"No need." Before Di Qiong could finish speaking, Su Chen shook his head and left the main hall. He had only come to see the ancestor of the Di Household on a whim, and it wasn't a must. Since the other party was hesitant, there was no need to see him.
Di Qiong and the elders exchanged glances and frowned. They all agreed that Su Chen should meet their ancestor, but Su Chen's attitude made some elders dissatisfied. Di Qiong did not try to stop him; he was not one to fawn over those who were cold to him.
"Sigh." Di Tian sighed. He knew that Di Qiong and the elders still didn't believe what he said. Well, what he had just said was indeed unbelievable. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it either.
Rumble!
Just as Di Tian was about to chase after Su Chen, the entire Heavenly Canopy Star suddenly shook violently, the ground collapsed, and deep cracks appeared. Countless creatures fell into the cracks without noticing, and the creatures of Heavenly Canopy Star were terrified.
"What happened? Why did a huge earthquake suddenly occur?"
"I don't know, this is the first time I've ever seen something like this."
"Run!"
"Not good!" Inside the main hall Di Qiong and the elders' expressions changed drastically, and they all disappeared. Di Tian looked bewildered, not knowing what had happened, and then he also disappeared. When they reappeared, they had already arrived in the sky.
Su Chen hadn't gone far when he stopped, frowned, and looked up.
At this moment, in the forbidden area of Di Household, a stone gate suddenly shattered, and an old man stepped out. He had flowing white hair, but was as thin as a rake, with almost no fat visible. He looked in one direction, and his expression became solemn. Then, his figure appeared in front of Di Qiong and the others.
"Ancestor!" Upon seeing the old man, Di Qiong and the others' expressions changed, and they hurriedly bowed respectfully. Di Tian did not recognize the old man at first, but when he heard Di Qiong call the old man the Ancestor, he instantly realized what was going on, hurriedly bowed, and also called him Ancestor.
They never expected that the Ancestor would emerge from seclusion at this time. It seems that what happened today is not simple.
