Northern Territory.
The city was shrouded in darkness. When one raised his head, he could only see the lonely corona within the dark sky.
What was bizarre was that Crimson Sol no longer shifted when the Solar Eclipse occurred. It was as if Crimson Sol was bound by something and caused the time to be in disarray.
New Moon Land’s migrants were attacked by strange creatures along the way. Many of those creatures were never seen before. They crawled out from underground, flew out from mountains and shone murderous green within the darkness.
New Moon Land’s migrants were protected by various factions all over the world. Even so, some were attacked and went missing.
Within the Northern Main City, looking through the statistics organized by subordinates, Liu Binglan showed a worried expression. Hopefully, all the migration groups could safely arrive at the various cities in Northern Territory……
Of course, Liu Binglan was even more worried about Chu Mu.
Ye Qingzi had already told Liu Binglan about Chu Mu’s decision. Liu Binglan felt even more worried. The Monument Tear Individual identity itself was a potential danger. The higher the level he reached, the closer he was to this potential danger.
Liu Binglan heaved a sigh and was about to return to her room.
Suddenly, a blurry figure disappeared from the corner of her eyes, as if that figure was afraid of getting noticed by her.
Liu Binglan was startled. This feeling was already not the first time. There would always be times when she felt someone watching over her from the distance.
Whenever she was in danger, that person would always appear to help her.
For a long time, Liu Binglan could not understand who the mysterious person was. However, Liu Binglan could not confirm that the identity of that person was the man who had hidden away from her for so many years!
Liu Binglan was very angry. Why did he have to hide himself? Did he not know that someone had never given up just because of what he said?
Liu Binglan would not let him run away this time. She chanted an incantation and rode on her Star River Bird to chase after the figure.
Star River Bird scattered countless beautiful starlights. It crossed through the quiet street and flew towards the corner.
Liu Binglan was chasing according to her intuition. After crossing through many quiet streets and alleys, she eventually stopped at a blindspot of a street building.
The place was empty and nobody passed through here. Liu Binglan looked at the pitch-black wall before her and dazed out for a long time.
She took a deep breath. She really had no more patience to continue the hide and seek with him. Liu Binglan spoke angrily, “Chu Tianmang, I know it’s you!”
“Do you think that hiding in the dark and helping us behind our back makes you a great person? Do you know Chu Mu had never given up no matter how long the journey would be in order to find you? Do you know what you mean to him in his heart?” Liu Binglan did not want to reprimand others. However, someone’s behavior made others unable to communicate other than roaring at him. He was arrogant, yet held severe machismo. He would always do things according to his own judgement!
Only Liu Binglan’s furious voice echoed in the quiet street, there was no response at all.
Liu Binglan also regained her composure. She knew that with Chu Tianmang’s ability, she would not find him if he intended to hide. However, he must be nearby and heard her voice.
“I will give you a last chance. If you don’t come out now, then never appear before me and him ever!” Liu Binglan stood there and spoke with a chilling tone.
Her voice contained fury and anxiety.
After a period of time, the street became quiet again.
There was still no response in the surroundings, as if Liu Binglan was venting her anger by talking to herself.
Seeing the pitch-black street and buildings around, Liu Binglan felt disappointed.
She could not understand why she was fated to encounter such a person in her life. He was difficult to communicate, always causing her to become angry whenever they met. His behavior was always incomprehensible……
Yet she was married to such a person and even had a child.
Should marriage not be the ceremony to find a person she could love and accompany until the end of her life? Just what was her marriage about then?
The ridiculous copulation at Universe Ice Gate, the dating period when she tried to accept him. The irreconcilable conflict, them vowing to follow their own paths……
Recalling those, Liu Binglan felt wronged.
She stood there in silence, but her mind was becoming more and more chaotic. Her heart was already in chaos as Chu Mu who stayed behind in New Moon Land alone might have to face Ancient Flood Dragon Person all by himself and never return.
In Liu Binglan’s heart, Chu Mu was already her most important person, she did not dare to imagine how horrifying her life would be after losing her child.
As she continued thinking about that, tears welled up in her eyes. She always felt that shedding tears was a laughable matter as she only had an icy heart and no tears. However, for some reason, it became easier and easier to shed tears in the recent years……
……
Liu Binglan stood there and sobbed. Within the shadow of the street, a light ripple happened in the space.
As if hesitating for a really long time, that ripple slowly opened up and a man’s figure appeared from within.
He kept a beard and had black pupils. His facial features were stern-looking.
Perhaps due to a long period of fighting and killing, his black eyes would always be filled with a natural killing intent. However, as he looked at the sobbing woman in the dark street, his gaze slowly melted away, turning soft and helpless, as well as bitter.
He slowly walked over without making any sound.
In his eyes, this elegant and beautiful woman was like ice, pure and cold. She wrapped her entirety tightly and exuded an icy aura, rejecting everything, including him. He could not even feel any warmth from this woman most of the time. She did not like to smile or talk. She looked like a frozen lake when quiet or when angry.
Honestly speaking, he felt a sense of defeat from this woman.
Everything he did would appear so childish in her cold and mature personality. Everything he did for her would not be praised. It was meaningless no matter how much he loved her, he would not enter her heart no matter what he did.
Seeing her sob, Chu Tianmang naturally thought that she was not crying because of him at first.
However, after hearing Liu Binglan’s complaints, Chu Tianmang realized that perhaps those were all his one-sided conclusions. It was actually different in her heart.
“I heeded your call and showed up,” After a long time, Chu Tianmang finally spoke and interrupted Liu Binglan’s weeping.
Liu Binglan was startled for a moment and hurriedly turned around. She saw Chu Tianmang standing right in front of her and seemed to have been there for quite a while.
Liu Binglan could not remember how many years it had been since she last saw him. His aged face no longer carried any trace of casualness during his youth. Many things Liu Binglan could not understand had settled on his face instead……
Liu Binglan looked at him and vaguely found some familiar silhouettes.
Chu Tianmang smiled bitterly and spoke, “You are still so young and beautiful. I look like an old man, right?”
Liu Binglan had reached Spirit Emperor rank very early. Her appearance would only become more mature and beautiful as her age increased. Time would not leave much of a trace on her as a period of a few centuries was as short as a few years to normal people in her long lifespan.
Meanwhile, Chu Tianmang was different. His level had fallen after his soul suffered a heavy injury. When he cultivated from below and reached an even higher level, he was already entering his middle-age years, causing his appearance to look a bit old.
Liu Binglan wiped away her tears and stared at Chu Tianmang.
“Stop checking, it’s really me,” Chu Tianmang felt that Liu Binglan’s gaze seemed skeptical and lamented.
“I know,” Liu Binglan finally spoke.
“You were scolding towards a wall. Aren’t you worried that someone may pass by and misunderstand that New Moon Land’s noble and elegant Female Supreme Liu is actually a shrew?” said Chu Tianmang.
Liu Binglan bit her lips lightly. Did she really want to do that? Some people would only live in his own delusion if she did not scold him, and would only continue doing so.
Chu Tianmang looked at Liu Binglan’s expression. As expected, even if he praised her beauty, she never showed any reaction. When he said that she was a shrew, she also never showed any reaction. How could there be such a troublesome woman in the world?
In that case, Chu Tianmang had to respect his son Chu Mu. Chu Mu was able to make such an emotionless woman cry?
“Why do you never show up?” interrogated Liu Binglan.
“You get angry whenever you see me, why would I look for trouble? Furthermore, it’s been so many years since we last met. If we are normal people, we would be greeting each other while holding a walking stick today,” said Chu Tianmang.
“Cultivators spend most of the time cultivating, who will remember the time spent on cultivation?” said Liu Binglan.
“Fine, it’s already been so long……” said Chu Tianmang.
“It certainly has, you don’t want to see me or don’t want to let me see you, that’s our own matter. What about Chu Mu? You can forget about me, but no matter how long time has passed, he has never forgotten about you as his father. What about him?” questioned Liu Binglan again.
“Binglan…… I never said I will forget about you,” corrected Chu Tianmang.
“Leave that question for later. Answer me first, why won’t you meet Chu Mu?” said Liu Binglan with in a serious tone.
Chu Tianmang did not want to answer, but seeing Liu Binglan’s stubborn eyes……
After a long while, Chu Tianmang sighed, “Because I’m the fourth era’s Monument Tear Inheritor.”
“So what?” asked Liu Binglan.
“The inheritor must eliminate all other fourth era’s Monument Tear Individuals and obtain all Monument Tears from them to eventually become the era’s strongest.”
“I have already killed all the other Monument Tear Individuals, and there is only one person left now…… This person is our son, Chu Mu.”
“Binglan, tell me, can I see him?”
