Battle Through the Heavens: My Grandfather is a Six-Star Dou Sheng

Chapter 36 Zi Yan Meets Zhu Kun

Zi Yan was stunned when she heard this unfamiliar address.

After a while, Ziyan's little face was full of stubbornness as she forcefully held back the tears that had been welling up in her eyes.

"Go, I'm going to ask him why he abandoned me!"

Zi Yan was bullied by some magical beasts since she was a child. If she hadn't accidentally eaten the Transformation Grass and been taken back to Canaan Academy by Su Qian, she might still be being bullied by powerful magical beasts now.

Therefore, Ziyan harbored resentment towards her parents who abandoned her, hating them for leaving her behind and for not caring about her.

This even became a knot in Zi Yan's heart.

That's why Zi Yan followed Jiang Xing after he revealed that he knew where her clansmen were.

Seeing the usually quirky Zi Yan with such an expression, Jiang Xing felt a pang of sympathy and quickly comforted her.

After calming Zi Yan down, Jiang Xing called Lin Shan over.

Lin Shan: "Young Master."

"Come with us to Canaan Academy again!"

Although Jiang Xing is now a two-star Dou Zun, he should have no problem getting into the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower without the knowledge of the two elders of Canaan Academy.

However, this matter was too important to fail, so he thought it would be better to bring Lin Shan along.

Lin Shan: "Yes."

At this moment, Zi Yan asked in confusion, "Didn't you say you were taking me to see... him? What are we going to Canaan Academy for?"

Zi Yan ultimately couldn't quite bring herself to say the word "father".

Jiang Xing: "He's located below Canaan College."

"Below Canaan College?"

Zi Yan looked completely bewildered.

"You'll understand once you come with me."

Jiang Xing didn't explain further, saying he would explain when they got there.

When Ziyan sees her father who abandoned her, she will definitely not be very welcoming.

Then he can act as a peacemaker and explain things to Zhu Kun. Wouldn't Zhu Kun then obediently help him?

Moreover, he had another purpose in taking Zi Yan down with him: as the patriarch of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan and a Nine-Star Dou Sheng, Zhu Kun must have a lot of good things on him.

Jiang Xing wanted Zhu Kun to teach Zi Yan everything he had so that Zi Yan could grow up faster.

Nodding to Lin Shan, who then tore open a space, and the three of them stepped inside.

Before long, the group arrived at Canaan Academy and easily evaded the elders guarding the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, reaching the bottom of the tower.

Upon arriving at the bottom of the tower, Jiang Xing immediately spotted the Fallen Heart Flame that he had left behind.

This Fallen Heart Flame has been well nourished by Canaan Academy; compared to the previous ones, this one is clearly much stronger.

Moreover, under the cultivation of Canaan Academy, the current Fallen Heart Flame is not as violent as the previous one, and is very easy to control.

From this perspective, Jiang Xing actually helped Canaan Academy by taking away the larger Fallen Heart Flame and keeping the smaller one.

"Lin Shan, you wait for us here."

Although Jiang Xing had already brought Lin Shan here, he did not intend to let Lin Shan know that the Ancient Emperor's Cave was here or that he was going to leave the fragments of the Tuoshe Ancient Jade here.

Lin Shan: "Young Master, don't you need me to go down with you?"

Jiang Xing said, "No need, just wait here for me to come up."

"Yes, young master."

Zi Yan's current strength is only at the Dou Huang level, and she is not yet completely immune to this magma.

After Jiang Xing cast a shield on Zi Yan, he led her into the lava.

Jiang Xing led Zi Yan down into the water, holding the fragment of the ancient Tuoshe jade in his hand.

Jiang Xing remembered that when Xiao Yan was alive, the fragments of the Tuoshe Ancient Jade reacted.

Therefore, finding the cave of the ancient emperor Tuoshe using this fragment of ancient jade should not be difficult.

Sure enough, after diving down for a while, Jiang Xing felt the fragment of the Tuoshe ancient jade begin to glow red.

The deeper Jiang Xing went, the brighter the red light became, so he kept adjusting his direction based on the red light from the ancient jade fragment.

Before long, Jiang Xing and Zi Yan saw a huge ancient stone gate in the distance.

Upon seeing the stone gate, Jiang Xing dared not proceed any further.

If he went any further, he feared he would end up like Zhu Kun, trapped in the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Cave, forced to become a gatekeeper.

Seeing that the ancient stone gate did not react at all, Jiang Xing was about to shout Zhu Kun.

The ancient stone gate flickered slightly, and the next moment, an incredibly powerful aura surged out from the gate, and a giant dragon covered in golden scales appeared.

The giant dragon circled once outside the cave, and finally transformed into a middle-aged man with purple-gold hair.

He shouted, "Those who come may bring ancient weapons..."

But when the middle-aged man looked at Zi Yan next to Jiang Xing, he stopped himself from saying anything.

The middle-aged man's originally dignified golden eyes suddenly welled up with tears.

"Child, is that you?"

The moment Zhu Kun saw Zi Yan, he sensed a familiar bloodline power within her.

How could his child not be familiar with someone of the same bloodline?

At this moment, Jiang Xingcai spoke up: "Ziyan, he is your father."

In fact, when Zhu Kun appeared, Zi Yan sensed a familiar aura emanating from the middle-aged man. In addition, since Jiang Xing first said he was bringing her to see her father, Zi Yan had already guessed that the middle-aged man in front of her must be the father who had abandoned her.

Now, with Jiang Xing's confirmation, Zi Yan finally confirmed her guess.

Seeing that Zi Yan ignored him and that her gaze was gradually turning cold, he realized that Zi Yan was ignoring him.

Zhu Kun stepped forward and continued, "Child, I am your father."

Clearly, Zhu Kun, who had been trapped here for many years, also missed his child very much, so much so that he trembled with excitement when he saw Zi Yan.

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of her, Zi Yan did not show the excitement of a daughter seeing her father. Instead, she coldly said, "I have been an orphan since I was a child. I have no parents."

Although Zi Yan's words were somewhat cold, Jiang Xing could vaguely sense the grievance in her voice.

Even after entering Canaan Academy, Zi Yan still acted like she was not to be trifled with, because she had been abandoned among monsters since childhood and bullied by powerful monsters. This was her protective shell.

She so desperately wished she could be a little girl who grew up being loved by her parents.

Hearing Zi Yan's cold words, even Zhu Kun, a top expert who once dominated the continent, panicked.

The only thing that could make Zhu Kun act this way is probably the current situation.

"Child, I was wrong. I shouldn't have coveted the ancient emperor's cave. If I had, I wouldn't be trapped here..."

Seeing Zi Yan's coldness towards him, Zhu Kun could only apologize repeatedly and explain that he was trapped here and did not intend to abandon Zi Yan.

Zi Yan came here to ask Zhu Kun why he abandoned her.

But when Zhu Kun said that he was trapped here and did not intentionally abandon him, he was surprised.

At this moment, Zi Yan's feelings were very complicated.

Although Zhu Kun said he didn't abandon her on purpose, it was indeed because of Zhu Kun that she was bullied since childhood...
