The mysterious figure took away Chu Yanran's son, claiming to take him as a disciple and to break the Solitary Star Fate, but the true situation is difficult to say.
The Heavenly Destitute Star is a terrifying constitution; this constitution not only curses those around the person to death but can also curse the individual themselves to death!
However, if one can break the Lone Star Curse, then the person with the Solitary Star Fate would reveal an extraordinarily strong martial talent, unleashing potential beyond imagination!
Yet there are those who exploit this constitution for cultivation, seizing the innate power of the Solitary Star Fate, and once the power of the Fate is stripped away, the bereaved rapidly perishes, fading away into obscurity.
This makes the fate of this adopted son unpredictable... Thinking of this, Ye Chen furrowed his brow even deeper.
"Ye Chen, you look so serious; could it be that you know something has happened to Xiao Chenchen!" Chu Yanran asked.
"No," Ye Chen said with a smile, before turning to Yun Xianghan and asking directly, "Xiang Han, who took Xiao Chenchen away?"
Yun Xianghan had already hinted that she knew of Xiao Chenchen's whereabouts but refused to tell.
"I know, but I won't tell you!" Yun Xianghan's words were infuriating.
"..."
"Come on, Yanran is getting anxious, tell her where her son is," Ye Chen said earnestly.
"Big sister, in the future, I'll fully support you as the boss, serve you tea and wash your feet, and willingly be your little sister!" Chu Yanran, with tears sparkling in her beautiful eyes, pleaded endearingly to Yun Xianghan.
"Alright then, seeing how considerate you are, and Ye Chen speaking up for you, I'll tell you where your son is," Yun Xianghan said.
Chu Yanran's eyes were full of hope, eagerly awaiting Yun Xianghan's answer, and even Ye Chen felt a nervous sweat forming in his palms.
Damn it, it's someone else's son; why the hell am I getting nervous, Ye Chen thought to himself.
"Your son has stumbled upon great luck; he has been taken as a disciple by a hidden master!" Yun Xianghan announced.
Yun Xianghan, in command of the Dragon Group, monitors every inch of Huaxia's land and knew that a supreme expert had descended and taken Chu Yanran's son.
"A hidden master, how powerful? Where is he hiding?" Ye Chen asked, eyebrows raising at the crux of the matter.
"Yes, where has my son been taken? He's not in any danger, is he?" Chu Yanran asked anxiously.
"There are many hidden forces and countless hidden masters in the world!" Yun Xianghan said. "Now that a catastrophe is upon us, some hidden masters have been stirred into action, and some hidden forces are quietly emerging from their slumber. The person who took Chu Yanran's son belongs to one of these hidden forces, a superlative master!"
"The hidden forces you're mentioning, are they not ancient families, by any chance?" Ye Chen asked as if possessed by a ghost.
"You know about ancient families?" Yun Xianghan asked in surprise.
"Um, I know a little," Ye Chen replied modestly.
Ye Chen had learned about the ancient families from Di Lintian and Emperor Litian.
The ancient families have an age-old inheritance; even the most junior of ancient families likely boasts a thousand years of heritage, hence the title of "ancient."
Ancient families are akin to wealthy households in the secular world, the only difference being that while secular families earn money, ancient families cultivate martial arts!
With martial arts heritage from ancient times, ancient families have unfathomably deep roots and can create inconceivable warriors. It is said that each ancient family has a Great Venerable of the Other Shore watching over it!
"Ye Chen, what is an ancient family, and if Xiao Chenchen has gone there, could he be in danger?" Chu Yanran, ignorant of the mysteries involved, showed her concern.
"The ancient families were terrifyingly extreme, with everyone who emerged from them being true martial maniacs, invincible powerhouses who swept through their foes!"
"Xiao Chenchen was chosen by a powerhouse of an ancient family to be taken as a disciple, which should be a blessing, not a curse!" Ye Chen said.
"This!" Chu Yanran was momentarily startled and uncertain, not knowing what to say; she was unsure whether to be happy or sad.
Having such a fortune for her son naturally made Chu Yanran happy.
However, Xiao Chenchen was still a child, and being taken by a great figure as a disciple, what if the expert forced Xiao Chenchen to practice martial arts without sleep, stunting her son's growth?
Therefore, despite some happiness, Chu Yanran was more worried—mothers worry when their sons travel afar!
"Chu Yanran, you needn't worry. The strong figure who took Xiao Chenchen away genuinely values his potential and will definitely not harm him!" Yun Xianghan said.
"Alright, if Xiao Chenchen isn't in danger, then I can rest easy!" Chu Yanran let out a long sigh of relief, seeming to relax a lot.
"What level is that person?" Ye Chen suddenly asked. "Nine Dragons, Ten Dragons, or a Land God?"
The hidden expert was from an ancient family, and Ye Chen was very curious about his cultivation level.
"The Other Shore." Yun Xianghan looked at Ye Chen and replied, but her voice slightly trembled, revealing the turmoil in her heart.
"The one who took Xiao Chenchen away is a Great Venerable of the Other Shore!" Ye Chen exclaimed in shock.
"Mm!" Yun Xianghan nodded.
"What, my son was taken as a disciple by a Great Venerable of the Other Shore!" Chu Yanran was shaken by the news.
"My good-for-nothing son has hit the jackpot!" Ye Chen couldn't help but exclaim.
Originally, Ye Chen had thought that the strong figure who took Xiao Chenchen away was at most a Land God, but who would have thought it would be a Great Venerable of the Other Shore.
Land Gods laugh proudly through the world, while Great Venerables of the Other Shore are majestic between Heaven and Earth. Such supreme powerhouses are even in the Canglan Realm, beings who reign supreme over the ten continents!
"This Great Venerable of the Other Shore is a Supreme Elder from an ancient family, wandering the world reminiscing the bygone days; by chance, he discovered Xiao Chenchen and was moved by his talent, so he took Xiao Chenchen as his disciple!" Yun Xianghan laid out the whole story without any reservation.
"I see!" Ye Chen nodded.
"When will my son come back? He's not going to be gone forever, is he?" Chu Yanran asked.
"It's hard to say about that, it could be ten years, or twenty years, or even thirty years, forty years... However, when your son returns, he will probably have achieved great success!" Yun Xianghan said.
"..."
Hearing this, Chu Yanran fell silent, looking down and tightly gripping her small hands, as if digesting the information.
"Great Venerables of the Other Shore are dragons seen in head but not in tail; how do you know his whereabouts, and how did you learn about these things?" Ye Chen looked at Yun Xianghan with some puzzlement.
Even if Yun Xiang controls the Dragon Organization, the Venerables of the Other Shore are so majestic that even the ultimate war immortals can barely trace them. How did Yun Xianghan come to know these things?
"Huaxia is an ancient country with unfathomable heritage. The Dragon Organization may not have Venerable of the Other Shore, but that doesn't mean Huaxia has no Venerable of the Other Shore!" Yun Xianghan said solemnly.
"I see!" Ye Chen said, appearing to understand suddenly.
Great chaos is about to come upon the world, but the foundation of the nation will not be shaken because every powerful country has its ultimate guardians, some in the light and some in the shadow!
