Chapter 860: Teleportation Array

They went to a faraway place, and even Mother doesn't know where they went.

Hu Meili said, these Great Demons will be randomly sent to places, their future uncertain.

Xiao Hu took a step back, gently shaking his head, "No, it won't happen."

Fear appeared in the depths of Xiao Hu's eyes.

His Tiger Demon King Aunt, his Niu Mo Wang Uncle, his Clan Leader Grandfather, and the adorable Great Demons of Mo Yuan one by one...

They said they would forever guard Mo Yuan, they would never leave!

"Mother, I'll go check the village!"

Xiao Hu said, then took off running toward the village,

"Xiao Hu!"

Xiao Chen shouted, his eyes filled with worry.

"Let him go, we'll go too."

Ye Qingran said, pulling Xiao Chen and following Xiao Hu toward the village.

Xia Zhimeng and the others also had solemn faces, their eyes filled with worry.

When Xiao Hu returned to the familiar village, what met his eyes was a desolate scene—no laughter and chatter, no sight of the Great Demons cavorting.

Xiao Hu's heart gave a thump.

"Niu Mo Wang Uncle!"

No one answered him.

"Tiger Demon King Aunt!"

Only the wind responded to him.

"Clan Leader Grandfather!"

At this moment, Xiao Hu's heart had turned completely cold.

He knew, the Great Demons had really left!

"Where did you all go? Wuu-wuu-wuu~"

Xiao Hu couldn't help but burst into tears.

He grew up here, spending the first five years of his life here.

Before meeting Mother, this place was his whole world, and every Great Demon here treated him well, as if he were their own.

He thought they would always be here, and whenever he turned around, he could see their familiar smiles.

But...

"Mother, they're all gone! Wuu-wuu-wuu~"

Ye Qingran's eyes instantly turned red.

What an optimistic, cheerful child Xiao Hu is—when has he ever cried so bitterly?

Ye Qingran hurried over and hugged Xiao Hu, "Be good, Xiao Hu, they just went to another place, they're still here!"

Xiao Hu flung himself into Ye Qingran's embrace, crying hoarsely and utterly heartbroken.

Those around saw it and felt heartache for him, especially the girls, each one crying out of sympathy.

"Mother, I want to go find them!"

"Good!"

After all, Xiao Hu is still a child; because the Great Demons left, he cried for a long, long time, until his eyes were swollen, his voice hoarse, his strength gone, and only then did he fall into a deep sleep in Ye Qingran's arms.

The next day, Ye Qingran kept watch by Xiao Hu's bedside, looking at his peaceful sleeping face, feeling both content and heartache.

Fu Hanxiu walked over and embraced Ye Qingran from behind.

"How did you come? Where's Xiao Chen?"

Fu Hanxiu rested his chin on Ye Qingran's head, "Xiao Chen is playing with Fu San."

"Fu Hanxiu, how did Xiao Hu come from the Broken Soul Abyss to Mo Yuan back then?" Ye Qingran asked, very curious.

Originally, Hu Meili told her that Xiao Hu was not brought by the Great Demons of Mo Yuan, but appeared beneath that bodhi tree, where the Great Demons found him.

You should know that Mo Yuan is 108,000 li away from Xiliang City.

Xiao Hu was just an infant—how could he cross thousands of mountains and rivers, traverse vast oceans?

Fu Hanxiu fell silent for a moment, then asked, "You mean Xiao Hu originally appeared by himself under the bodhi tree?"

"Yes, that's what Hu Meili said."

"Come on, let's go take a look."

Ye Qingran tucked the blanket in for Xiao Hu, then followed Fu Hanxiu out to the bodhi tree.

This bodhi tree is Xiao Hu's home and his playground, with many little wooden houses on it, carrying his childhood memories.

Fu Hanxiu hasn't never been here before; it's just that back then he was five years old, didn't remember Xiao Hu, and naturally felt nothing.

At this moment, standing here as a complete father, his heart could not help but be filled with myriad emotions.

Xiao Hu is Fu Hanxiu's offspring, the continuation of his bloodline, yet he missed the first five years of his life.

Those five years were the most fragile in Xiao Hu's life, yet he failed to be by his side.

On the contrary, the Great Demons of Mo Yuan gave him love, warmth, and care.

He lifted his gaze to the bodhi tree before him, as if he saw Xiao Hu from his wailing infancy grow into a mischievous child, like a lively monkey, weaving back and forth on the tree.

Ye Qingran sensed Fu Hanxiu's emotion, seeing the deep guilt in his eyes.

"Fu Hanxiu, let's spend more time with the kids from now on, okay?"

The past is past; we cannot change anything, all we can do is look forward.

"Good!"

Fu Hanxiu nodded firmly, thinking of something, he sliced his finger open, bright red blood seeping from the wound.

"Fu Hanxiu, what are you doing?"

Ye Qingran asked, puzzled.

Fu Hanxiu gave a mysterious smile, letting the blood from his wound drop to the ground; in an instant, a strong gust centered on that drop spread outward, and immediately a golden light shone from beneath their feet!

Ye Qingran's eyes reflected that golden light, her expression growing ever more astonished.

"This is..."

Ye Qingran lifted her gaze to look at Fu Hanxiu.

"Not bad, there is a teleportation array here." Fu Hanxiu nodded, "If I'm not mistaken, there is also a teleportation array on the Duanhun Abyss; back then, Xiao Hu must have bled, triggering the array and being sent to Mo Yuan."

"This speculation is too unbelievable."

"But why would there be a teleportation array built in those two places, Mo Yuan and the Duanhun Abyss?" The Duanhun Abyss is merely a cliff in Jiufu Forest outside Xiliang City of Donglin Country; is there any need to set up a teleportation array there?

Fu Hanxiu pondered for a moment, "This teleportation array probably has a long history, while Donglin Country has only been established for a short time; perhaps the Duanhun Abyss was a rather important place in ancient times."

Ye Qingran felt that Fu Hanxiu's words made perfect sense.

"You say, could we possibly go to Xiliang City via this teleportation array?"

"Probably."

"How about we make a trip to Xiliang?"

"Okay."

Ye Qingran gathered everyone else; Xiao Hu was still asleep, so she had Fu Hanxiu hold Xiao Hu, and everyone assembled under the bodhi tree.

"Sister Ran, why did you gather us?"

Ye Qingran raised her eyebrows slightly, "Anyone want to go to Xiliang City?"

"Xiliang City?"

"This place is familiar to everyone; they all know Ye Qingran came from Xiliang City."

"I want to go! Perfect chance to see Instructor Ye's hometown!"

"I also want to go!"

"Go! We must go!"

Everyone was enthusiastic, very interested in Ye Qingran's hometown.

"Sister Ran, how are we going?"

After Fu Hanxiu shed another drop of blood, a light shone beneath their feet; in everyone's astonished gaze, the light grew blinding, and soon it flashed—everyone vanished.

Central Region, Donglin Country, outside Xiliang City.

The same golden light shone atop Jiufu Forest Duanhun Abyss; soon, more than a dozen figures appeared on the abyss.
