Chapter 5742 Lei Family Branch
Long Zhantian’s voice quivered, and his eyes reddened. He had finally found news of his wife.
The thought of her risking her life to traverse worlds just to find them felt like a dagger twisting in his heart. That kind of journey was far too dangerous.
If she had seen the Martial Heaven Continent vanish, it could only mean she had looked for it after its destruction. She must have believed that both of them were dead. Just how much pain and despair had she suffered in that moment?
“Father-in-law, please tell me where she is,” begged Long Zhantian.
His voice trembled with urgency, his eyes misting over. Long Zhantian wanted nothing more than to find his wife—no, he needed to find her. The moment he did, he would tell her that their son was not only alive but thriving.
Patting Long Zhantian’s shoulder, Luo Zichuan said, “I don’t know her exact location. But don’t worry, we have a way to find her.”
Hearing that, Long Zhantian was overjoyed, but a frown quickly formed on his face. “Father-in-law, if you don’t know where she is, then how do you know all this?”
Luo Zichuan said, “Ah, that. It’s all thanks to the Bi family.”
The Bi family possessed a mysterious treasure—the Heavenly Dao Compass. This artifact was originally meant to belong to the entire violet blood race, but because the Bi family alone had mastered the method of controlling it, it ended up becoming their personal treasure.
The Heavenly Dao Compass had the power to divine fate itself. With a drop of a person’s essence blood and the Bi family’s secret art, it could reveal their past and future, and even determine whether they were friend or foe.
In truth, this Heavenly Dao Compass was wasted in the violet blood race’s hands. Everyone here belonged to the same race, so there were no enemies to uncover. Furthermore, because they resided in a minor world, the compass was useless. It could only function properly when calculating the Heavenly Dao energy of a major world.
When Luo Zichuan first arrived, tensions immediately flared between the Luo and Bi families. Distrusting the newcomers, the Bi family secretly captured Luo Changwu[1] and used his essence blood to probe into Luo Zichuan’s past.
Through the Heavenly Dao Compass, they saw that this branch of the Luo family had no problems. But when Luo Zichuan learned what had happened, he was enraged.
This was outright bullying. They had been suspected and tested in such a disgraceful manner.
The entire Luo family also erupted in fury, demanding justice. However, the Bi family refused to admit wrongdoing, claiming it was all for the good of the violet blood race.
The two families were already at odds, and this incident nearly escalated into a full-scale battle.
However, the Bi family refused.
They cursed Luo Zichuan, saying that the Heavenly Dao Compass had expended too much energy and would need three to five years to recover. Furthermore, after that strange scene, none of them dared to take the risk. They feared that, this time, they really would be sucked dry.
Looking at Long Zhantian, Luo Zichuan said, “Although I didn’t see her exact whereabouts, I asked the race leader about it. He said that the people around her belonged to the Lei family branch of the violet blood race.”
“The Lei family branch?” Long Zhantian’s eyes flickered.
Luo Zichuan took out a jade tablet and handed it to him. “This was given to me by the race leader. It is a tablet of the Lei family branch. I originally planned to search for her myself, but now I see that you are most suited for this task.”
Long Zhantian carefully accepted the jade tablet. A violet lightning mark pulsed upon its surface, radiating an ancient aura.
“Although countless years have passed, it has been continuously nourished in a divine pool, preserving its spirituality,” Luo Zichuan continued. “However, the nine heavens are vast. Finding them will not be easy.”
Long Zhantian’s grip tightened. “Father-in-law, don’t worry. Leave this matter to me.”
A single clue—no matter how small—was enough to give him hope.
Luo Zichuan sighed in relief. “Then I entrust this to you. If you find Ningshuang, tell her... tell her that I was wrong. When we meet again, I will apologize to her.”
“Father-in-law, this was never your fault.” Long Zhantian bowed deeply. “Your son-in-law will take his leave now.”
Luo Zichuan nodded, knowing there was no time to waste. He said, “The road ahead will be dangerous. Above all, be careful. Are you not going to say goodbye to Long Chen?”
Long Zhantian glanced at Long Chen and smiled faintly. “No need. My son understands me.”
He then bowed toward Luo Zichuan before vanishing.
Luo Zichuan stood in silence for a long time before finally sighing. Back then, he had cursed this son-in-law of his to death.
Looking back now, he couldn’t help but think—
Sometimes, he was also incurably foolish.
