Chapter 281: City Lord's Hall, Unveiling Origins

Huh? Hearing this voice mixed with surprise and shock.

The figure in the void ahead immediately turned upon hearing the sound.

"Brother Yuwen! It's really you!"

Upon seeing clearly that white-haired, youthful-faced old man ahead, he couldn't help but exclaim.

This isn't my close friend! Back when I was at the Heavenly Immortal realm, I met him in a secret realm of Divine Splendor.

How could this voice be so familiar to this immortal!

…

Soon after.

The grand hall of the city lord's mansion.

"Brother Yuwen, it's been ages since we last saw each other! You've broken through to the True Immortal realm."

"Alas, time is the greatest killing intent for us cultivators; in the blink of an eye, so many years have passed."

Several hoarse voices sounded in the hall.

The tone was full of emotion and helplessness.

"Yeah, time is indeed the greatest killer."

"However, Brother Muchen, you can now! Not only have you broken through to the Undying True Immortal, but you've also become the lord of this Immortal City."

"Old man I remember, when we two played in the Immortal City, you once dreamed that one day you would become the lord of this Immortal City."

"Now your dream has come true."

In the hall, Elder Yuwen and his friend, the lord of the Immortal City Muchen, exchanged nostalgic talk.

Shi Hao and the other two, along with two Phoenix Immortal Clan True Immortals in human form, sat below.

They all remained silent.

Quietly listening to the two elders reminisce.

True friends are hard to find; reuniting with old acquaintances inevitably brings forth emotions.

"By the way, Brother Yuwen, what business brings you to my Immortal City this time?"

"Haha, could it be that you came specially just to catch up with me?"

After the sentimental talk, it's time to get down to business.

The lord of the Immortal City Muchen turned his eyes, smiling as he spoke.

After speaking, he turned his gaze toward the people below.

Two Phoenix Immortal Clan True Immortals, plus a few juniors.

What puzzles him is how Brother Yuwen ended up with the Phoenix Immortal Clan.

If I recall correctly, Brother Yuwen should be from the Qinggu Heavenly Domain.

When he turned his gaze toward Yunlan in white robes, noticing the token on his chest, his expression changed instantly!

How could this be!

"Brother Mu, I have come this time under my master's orders to escort sect disciples seeking their relatives."

At this, Elder Yuwen's voice sounded from the side.

Upon hearing this, the lord of the Immortal City stood up immediately.

"Brother Yuwen, the person you speak of seeking relatives is this youth, isn't it!"

He pointed to the youth in white sect robes below.

Just now, in the void above the Immortal City, he hadn't carefully looked at the others, being occupied with catching up with Brother Yuwen.

Now upon looking, this youth's appearance is remarkably familiar, and the token he wears!

Combined with what Brother Yuwen said, there's no mistake!

The eldest son's only son!

Muchen's chest heaved with excitement, his heart surging like waves.

This great commotion startled Elder Yuwen, Shi Hao, and the others.

What's the situation!

"Indeed."

"Senior, I have come to the Shenghuang Heavenly Domain to seek my relatives; I don't know if you recognize my parents."

Seeing this, Yunlan below immediately stood up and asked excitedly.

"Whose token is the one you wear on your chest?"

Upon hearing this, the lord of the Immortal City Muchen calmed his mind; to be sure, he spoke with a solemn expression.

However, he had already confirmed most of it in his heart, his eyes flickering.

"This token? It was left by my mother, whom I have never met."

Upon hearing this, Yunlan touched the token on his chest and said softly.

Exactly! All correct!

"Muchen of the Mu Immortal Clan, I pay my respects to the young master!"

Muchen was first shocked in his heart, then quickly bowed respectfully.

The Immortal Sovereign had previously said that he would appoint his lost grandson as young master and search for him with all efforts.

Back then, the eldest son and the young lady carried their infant child in swaddling clothes, traveling outward and never returning.

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Sovereign was anxious beyond measure.

He immediately ordered half of the clan's strong ones to go out and search, yet after so many years, there has been no news.

Everyone thought they had met with misfortune…

I never expected that the eldest young master's child would actually come looking for us on his own.

What a tremendous joy!

The young master?

Everyone present froze at the sight.

Yun Lan is actually the young master of the Mu clan!

"Senior, this..."

Yun Lan's expression changed, and he spoke in surprise and doubt.

He only came to the Mu clan of Divine Radiance to find his parents—how did he end up becoming the young master of the Mu clan?

The Yuwen elder ahead also felt uneasy; upon seeing Yun Lan's token back then, he knew his status in the Mu clan was definitely high.

I never imagined he would actually be the young master of the Mu clan!

Below, Shi Hao and Lin Bai exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with myriad emotions.

What a pair! On this trip to Divine Radiance, my junior sister became the heavenly maiden of the Phoenix Immortal Clan, and my junior brother became the young master of the Mu clan.

These two powers are still the top two major forces in the Divine Radiance Heavenly Domain.

This is utterly unbelievable!

At that moment, the lord of the Immortal City above, Mu Chen, seeing the situation, began to recount everything he knew in detail.

This cleared up their doubts.

Upon hearing this, everyone present finally understood.

In that case, Yun Lan is definitely the young master of the Mu clan—there's no mistake.

Below, Yun Lan clenched the token in his hand.

After all this wandering, his parents aren't in the Mu clan—so where are they… where are they?

Father, Mother, are you still well?

At this moment, his heart felt as if being cut by a knife.

It turned out his mother left him with the Yun family because she and his father had encountered misfortune; they had not abandoned him.

The Mu clan had not abandoned him either.

…

Soon after.

Behind the Immortal City, inside the small world where the Mu clan resides.

At that moment, a piece of news arrived, and the tranquil Mu clan was instantly thrown into an enormous upheaval!

The eldest young master's son—namely, the Mu clan's young master, Mu Yun—has returned safely!

The entire Mu immortal clan trembled!

The Mu clan immortal sovereign led the way out of seclusion, and numerous sleeping elders rose from their coffins.

Countless Mu clan immortals were summoned back to the clan, eagerly awaiting the young master's return home.

Outside the Mu clan's small world, immortals of the Mu clan stood densely in the void above.

At the forefront, the Mu clan immortal sovereign and the eight great elders of the Mu clan all waited anxiously.

Numerous Mu clan elders stood respectfully behind them.

"Twenty years have passed, and this immortal's grandson has finally returned!"

Mu Lie, the Mu clan immortal sovereign, secretly exclaimed with excitement, his smile almost flying off to the heavens, and his eyes shone with boundless light.

His immense immortal power surged straight toward the heavens.

"At last he's returned! These past years have nearly killed me with worry! I don't care—once Yun returns, I will personally teach him."

"No way! This seventh elder hasn't spoken yet, you eighth elder—what are you grabbing for? Yun will be instructed by me."

"I am the sixth elder!"

"I am the fifth elder!"

"I am the …!"

The eight elders of the Mu clan nearly came to blows over the chance to teach Yun Lan.

Seeing this, Mu Lie, the Mu clan immortal sovereign, shook his head and chuckled; the personalities of those eight elders are more interesting than each other.

But I still haven't spent enough time with my own grandson.

Elders, I'm sorry!

"Here he comes! Here he comes!"
