Chapter 191: Farewell, Little Hero

After the brief Dead Silence and shock, there came a frenzy and awe like a mountain collapse and sea tsunami!

All the ape clan's beings, regardless of branch or age, at this moment faced the silver figure in the sky, bowed deeply with heartfelt reverence, and their voices merged into a thunderous torrent:

"We… have the honor to meet the Imperial Son!!!"

The wave of voices rolled, filled with boundless worship and submission!

In the sky, the silver figure gradually dimmed the blazing radiance surrounding it, revealing beneath a handsome, resolute, heroic face—none other than Dou Tianxiong emerging from seclusion, the Imperial Son of the Sacred War Heaven Ape Clan, the little hero that Ye Wuque never forgets!

Their gaze swept over the pilgrim‑like clan members below, gave a slight nod, and then their eyes were drawn to the edge of the plaza, where two figures that clashed with the surroundings stood.

Especially that Black Robe Figure…

Dou Tianxiong's body suddenly jolted!

In those Dark Eyes, as sharp as a heavenly sword, an unbelievable excitement and exhilaration burst forth in an instant!

At that moment, Ye Wuque looked at the astonishing scene before him, a sincere admiring smile spreading across his face, lightly clapped his hands, and said loudly:

"A fine punch! Little hero, long time no see!"

That praise rang especially clear in the silent plaza.

Hearing the words, Dou Tianxiong in the sky could no longer restrain his inner excitement; his form flashed, appearing before Ye Wuque as if teleporting, and he seized Ye Wuque's arm, his voice tinged with a tremor:

"Big brother! It's really you! Big brother!!!"

He was so excited he could barely speak coherently; those Dark Eyes, which on the battlefield looked invincible, now were slightly reddened.

The memory of those days in the ascended immortal land, he never forgot!

He always believed that with Ye Wuque's talent, he would rise in the vast starry sky, but never expected the reunion to come so quickly, so suddenly!

This scene caused all the ape clan's beings around to fall again into great shock and curiosity!

They looked at each other, whispering:

"Imperial Son… actually calls that Human 'big brother'?!"

"Who is this Human really? How could he make the Imperial Son lose composure like this?!"

"It seems this person is certainly no ordinary fellow!"

Ye Wuque looked at the excited Dou Tianxiong before him, gave his sturdy arm a firm pat, his eyes full of emotion and satisfaction:

"Indeed, finally we meet again."

"Little hero, you are impressive; your current achievements far exceed my expectations."

Dou Tianxiong gave a faint smile; the purity and childlike heart belonging to the little hero remained unchanged, only now added the Imperial Son's dignity and composure.

Reuniting with an old friend, joy overflowed beyond words.

Dou Tianshu, standing beside them, also wore a beaming smile.

That evening, the Sacred War Heaven Ape Clan held a grand banquet to welcome Ye Wuque and the War Prince, and also to celebrate Dou Tianxiong's emergence from seclusion.

The banquet was set on an open‑air high platform, from which one could gaze upon the Ancestral Land's unique dark‑golden starry sky.

Various delicacies cooked with rare ferocious beast flesh and divine fruit elixirs were continuously brought out, their aromas filling the air, the spiritual energy overwhelming.

Dou Tianxiong was especially enthusiastic, personally retrieving several jars sealed tightly, exuding a rich scent of ages.

The moment the mud seal was broken, an indescribable rich wine fragrance mingled with a surging Life Essence spread out, making anyone who smelled it feel their spirit relaxed and their qi surge.

"Brother Ye, War brother, this is the ancient monkey wine our clan has treasured for countless ages!"

Dou Tianxiong proudly introduced, "According to the Ancestor, this wine may have been buried for over several hundred thousand years, made with a hundred kinds of holy fruit from the Ancient Divine Mountain, brewed with a unique secret method, then aged over time—its value is priceless!"

"I myself have never been willing to drink it, but today big brother has arrived, I must bring it out; we won't leave until we're drunk!"

It shows how delighted he was by Ye Wuque's arrival.

Ye Wuque and the War Prince were also moved; just by smelling the wine's fragrance, they knew it was no ordinary brew, likely of great benefit to beings of the Immortal Realm.

The four took their seats, cups interlaced, toasting each other.

After a few bowls of ancient monkey wine entered their stomachs, the rich, lingering, yet domineering fiery alcohol power unfolded, as if countless warm currents circulated through their limbs and bones, nourishing the flesh, warming the spirit, making the whole body feel comfortable, and a heroic vigor instantly arose.

In the drunken heat, the four talked about everything, their bond quickly tightening amid laughter and cheers.

When Dou Tianshu again recounted being hunted by the three great fierce spirits—Hun Yuanjun, Teng Jiuhuang, and Hu Xiao Yu—and nearly losing his key, Dou Tianxiong's face instantly filled with anger; he slapped the table, causing the bowls and plates to jump wildly:

"This is a sham! These three scoundrels dare to bully my Sacred War Heaven Ape Clan! This grudge must be avenged!"

His lava‑like Dark Eyes burned with warfire as he looked at Dou Tianshu, speaking in a deep voice:

"Tian Shu, don't worry! I've noted this account! The Great Beast Gathering, where dragons and snakes mingle, is a perfect chance for revenge! When the time comes, I will meet them personally, to see whether their claws are sharper or my fists are stronger!"

His tone rang like a bell, full of absolute confidence and protective arrogance.

Ye Wuque lifted his wine bowl, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

The War Prince also nodded, his martial spirit brimming.

The banquet atmosphere grew even more heated because of this common enemy, a tacit camaraderie of fighting side by side quietly forming among the four.

Starlight scattered, wine fragrance wafted, atop the high platform, laughter and cheers intertwined with fierce martial intent.
