Battle Through the Heavens: He marries Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate the marriage!

Chapter 213 Zi Yan: Is my father really still alive?

"Zi Yan, if you don't want to deal with so many things, and don't want to be the Dragon Emperor, there are ways, but..."

"But what?"

Gu Fei stopped halfway through his sentence.

Zi Yan suddenly became a little anxious.

She grabbed Gu Fei's arm with both hands and shook it vigorously: "Tell me, what's the method? Don't keep me in suspense!"

"Zi Yan, do you really want to know?"

Gu Fei smiled, looked into Zi Yan's bright eyes, and spoke earnestly.

"Brother Gu Fei, if I don't become the Dragon Emperor, no one in the clan will be able to command respect!"

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan's tone lowered slightly.

She knew that without royal blood to protect them, the dragon race would eventually split apart.

Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, she will persevere in being the Dragon Emperor.

"Perhaps someone is more capable of winning people's hearts and more suitable to lead the ancient dragon clan than you?"

Gu Fei smiled.

"Who is it?"

Zi Yan knew that Gu Fei wouldn't joke about something like this, so her expression became serious.

"Your father!"

"What? My father?"

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan was stunned.

Her memory of her father was almost nonexistent.

From the time she could remember, Zi Yan had lived in the forest, leading a life like that of a wild animal.

One day, she accidentally ate a transformation herb and was subsequently taken to Canaan Academy by Su Qian, the Grand Elder of the Inner Court. Over the years, she has harbored resentment and has always wanted to know why her parents abandoned her.

Ziyan had only heard about her father from the elders of her clan.

She knows that her father was the previous Dragon Emperor, but he disappeared many years ago.

From that point on, the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan began its decline, constantly embroiled in internal strife.

"Brother Gufei, are you saying my father is still alive?"

Zi Yan's eyes reddened as she pressed for an answer.

"He is indeed still alive! Do you want to go see him?" Gu Fei nodded.

"……Um……"

Zi Yan paused for a moment, but finally spoke softly.

"Alright, since you want to see him, I'll take you!"

After saying that, Gu Fei grabbed Zi Yan's hand and walked towards the outside of Dragon Island.

……

A few days later, when Gu Fei and Zi Yan reappeared, they had arrived in the Black Corner Region.

"Isn't this the Black Corner Region?"

"How did you get here?"

Looking at this familiar place, Zi Yan turned around and looked at Gu Fei with suspicion.

"Don't you want to see the Grand Elder?"

Gu Fei laughed.

"Yes, I have! It's been so long since I've seen the Grand Elder!" Zi Yan nodded blankly, wondering what Gu Fei was up to.

"Let's go, to the inner courtyard first!"

With a wave of his sleeve, Gu Fei enveloped the two of them with spatial power, and a moment later, they appeared in a study deep within the inner courtyard.

"Who is it?"

Inside the study, Elder Su Qian of the Inner Court noticed the two extra people in the room and became very wary.

"Young Master Gu Fei..."

Su Qian didn't recognize Zi Yan at first, but luckily she still remembered Gu Fei.

"Elder, it's me, Ziyan! Don't you recognize me?" The faint sorrow on Ziyan's face disappeared, revealing a bright smile.

"Zi Yan? Is it really you..."

Su Qian's face was filled with surprise.

During the ensuing conversation, Ziyan told her about some of the things she had experienced over the years.

This made Su Qian very happy.

He had previously hoped that Zi Yan could find her clan and unravel the mystery of her origins.

"How long do you plan to stay at Canaan Academy this time?" Su Qian asked politely.

"I'm here on another very important matter!"

As Zi Yan spoke, she looked at Gu Fei beside her.

"Hehe, Elder Su Qian, I'll come back to talk to you in detail after I've finished taking care of Zi Yan!"

Gu Fei chuckled softly.

Immediately, he used his spatial power again, enveloping the two of them and making them disappear.

Before long, the two entered the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Qi Refining Tower. The seal here was practically useless to them.

At the base of the tower, a young flame of fallen heart fire was very active.

However, upon seeing Gu Fei appear, he seemed somewhat frightened and trembled.

The Heavenly Flame Refining Tower is now much more effective than it was back then. After all, the mature form of the Fallen Heart Flame never obeyed the commands of the Inner Court.

The Fallen Heart Flame, having been nurtured for a long time, shows no resistance to their commands.

"Is my father in here?"

Zi Yan looked even more puzzled.

She had spent a long time in the Heavenly Flame Qi Refining Tower. If her father had been at the bottom of the tower all along, it would truly be a cruel twist of fate.

Moreover, the area beneath the tower is filled with scorching lava. Can people even live in such a place?

"It's right down here, follow me!"

Gu Fei grasped Zi Yan's small hand again, and strange fire surged forth, protecting the two of them.

Zi Yan thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of Gu Fei holding her little hand during this time.

I wish it could always be like this!

Soon, the two entered the scorching lava sea below.

The surrounding magma would automatically evaporate when it came within half a zhang of the two people's bodies. This scorching magma was obviously not capable of causing any obstacle to Gu Fei.

As it continued to descend.

The fire lizard clan that Gu Fei had encountered before reappeared before the two of them.

Last time Gu Fei came here, he was still somewhat wary, but now that his cultivation has risen to the level of a three-star Dou Sheng, he is fearless.

"These things are so strange. Have they always lived at the bottom of this lava field?"

"Why don't you go outside?"

Zi Yan was curious when she saw this creature she had never seen before.

"They have their own responsibilities!"

"What are your responsibilities?"

"Protect what's below!"

Gu Fei explained with a smile.

After saying that, he suddenly stomped his foot lightly, and instantly, a vast wave of soul energy surged out from between his eyebrows.

In an instant, the surrounding lava exploded, and strange figures hidden in the lava let out shrill screams.

"Hiss!"

As these screams were heard, the surrounding magma suddenly rippled violently.

Then, Gu Fei saw countless crimson figures surging in from all directions, eventually surrounding the two of them.

Outside the encirclement, two lizardmen with milky-white bodies appeared.

They appeared to be much older than the other reptilians.

Moreover, he has reached the level of a demigod!

"Human, this is the graveyard of the gods, not a place for you!"

"Retreat immediately, or you will awaken the guardians and be buried here forever!"

One of the two white lizardmen was actually speaking human language.

Although somewhat awkward, the intermittent sounds still reached the ears of Gu Fei and Zi Yan.

"The Tomb of God, what is that?"

"And what about those guardians?"

Zi Yan looked completely bewildered.

However, thinking about the purpose of Gu Fei bringing her here, she couldn't help but wonder if her father was the guardian.
