Chapter 1802: 24.63 Sixth Violet Star - Lost in Woods

As the Beast Kings of the Barren Lands planned on attacking the core region to increase their territory, three months had passed since then. The preparations of the Long Clan and the Killer Pavilion entering the Barren Land were about to finish today. However, they lack information about the Beast Kings and planned to seek information from the Senior staying at the Long Clan Territory.

There is also the plan to prevent the Pei Clan from learning about the situation of the descendants of the Long Clan. The Long Clan invited the old Mu Patriarch and the current clan leader. The old patriarch of Mu, Mu Yao is the former aide of the old marshal. He is also the father of the Mercenary Tower Master, Mu Liao. Also one of the people who had betrayed the trust of the old marshal and forced him to abdicate.

Mu Yao was actually one of the people who fought against the beastmen that day. He tried to protect the old marshal from the Beastman Leader, and lost an arm in the process. As for his missing leg, it was also cut off as it was rendered useless by the poison he got from the last battle of massacre against the beastman race.

However, this also didn’t change the fact that he had betrayed the old marshal after surviving that deadly situation together. It was because this man had risked his life to bring away the old marshal crippled by the beastman leader, that Long Huang couldn’t accept that he would also be the person who would push him deeper to the abyss when they returned home.

At the Mu Clan’s Mansion...

Mu Liao received an invitation from the current marshal, Long Tian. Though nothing was specified about it, and it makes other people overthink, he still agreed to the invitation. It would be hard to guess what the Long Clan wanted if not for them adding Mu Yao’s name in the invitation. Clearly, they wanted the father and son to come over together.

"Father, what do you think?" Mu Liao asked as he watched his father read through the invitation.

The Mu Clan used to be able to enter the Marshal’s territory even without an invitation. This shows the undeniable trust of the Long Family to the Mu Jia. Now he cannot even approach the gates without invitation and his name would instantly incur hatred from the soldiers protecting the Marshal’s place. It can be said that their Mu Jia were now seen as enemies by everyone from the Long Clan.

He after all betrayed his own master.

Mu Liao asked, "Are we going?"

"Are you sure you saw the old marshal healthy?" asked Mu Yao.

Even though he felt extremely guilty for betraying his master for his family’s sake, he just owes him as much. What he regrets the most is his failure to protect his master and that he was crippled just to keep as many of them alive during the battle. After all, if not for them with his strength as a gold ranked beastmaster, he can escape that situation unharmed.

Mu Liao answered yet hesitation is present in his tone. "... We go."

"Alright. I will send a reply and prepare everything else," Mu Liao said.

The old patriarch, Mu Yao calls, "A’Liao..."

"What is it father?" Mu Liao asked.

Mu Yao said, "In the Long Jia no matter how unfriendly they are to us, don’t get angry."

Knowing the sin their family had committed, Mu Liao agreed to his father’s request and nodded his head.

"I understand, Father!" Mu Lian responded.

On the other hand, in the ancient forest.

Xie Yun entered unhindered as he wasn’t a human. He followed the trace of Vega through his spells and saw a huge treehouse near the beastman village. This is the chosen location where Heri and his family choose to live. They can also live in the beastman village but for Vega who is an elf, he likes a quiet and private area. Hezi gave them that land and allowed them to create a treehouse or whatever they wanted.

Heri and his family would still join the evening feast in the village every week though. It can also be considered a family bonding for them. Vega, carrying a long bow on his back, was about to come out hunting. Heri was helping him with a few things to bring with him while their daughter. Haerin was nearby playing in the forest with Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie.

In reality, it was two gods watching over the little girl. They still needed to pretend as children until Ye Xiajie’s body grew into a young adult at least.

They are playing at the homemade swing near the treehouse with the tree spirit under Vega’s control watching over them as they play. The swing was pushed by a tree branch as gently as possible. The children’s laughter echoes in the forest.

Kyaaa~ Hahaha~

Heri said to his husband who was about to leave, "Be careful out there. Also you might meet your friend halfway back." he told him about what he foresee today.

"Xie Yun is coming over? Well he is a demonic beast he wouldn’t be blocked on the way here. I will just catch some fish by the river and come back soon," Vega said.

Heri kissed his husband and said, "Be careful out there."

A few moments after Vega had taken his leave, Heri checked on the children. However, he only saw his daughter napping at a swing while covered with a blanket. The scene of his brother’s cubs suddenly disappearing had happened multiple times. He told his brother and brother-in-law about this and they only laughed and told him not to worry.

Hezi said, "Don’t worry about our cubs. It’s their nature to disappear in the forest most of the time and would always return before dinner. When they were a bit younger some aunts and uncles from the village would pick them up. They would see them on the trees or swimming in the river. Well, they are healthy and tough."

"Don’t worry if they disappear. Nothing in this forest can harm them anyway," said Mo Minkong.

Heri carried his daughter and saw her waking up. "Darling, do you know where your brothers had disappeared to?"

"Brothers? They followed Papa to the river. They said they want to catch some river crabs~" Haerin said.

Hearing that they followed his husband, his worries had become less. With his husband watching over his nephews, they should be fine. He held his sleepy daughter and went inside their treehouse. After putting his daughter to bed, he started preparing for dinner.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the ancient forest, Xie Yun was lost. He never had any sense of direction and with Vega moving around, made it quite hard for him to pinpoint his friend’s location.

"Why did it look like I had gone in this direction before? Is there a spell here that prevents people from finding their way out? Vega’s location seems to be moving... My tracking spell is about to be lost. What should I do?"

The lost demonic beast looked around like a lost child in despair when suddenly something was falling from above and fell on him. What made it surprising is that he failed to dodge it even though he wanted to do so.

Thud! Thud!

Xie Yun felt two small boulders fall on his back. Now he lay flat on the ground like flailing fish out of water.

A cute voice comes from his back saying, "Uncle demonic beast~ are you lost?"

Another cold yet boyish voice followed after the cutesy one. "Too weak can’t even catch two toddlers properly. You lack training."

When Xie Yun turned around, he saw two familiar looking toddlers on his back. After seeing up, he let them sit on his legs looking at them like a confused deer.

"It’s you guys! Are you lost as well?" Xie Yun asked.

Hei Anjing responded, "No. It’s uncle who is lost. The sleeping soul in you is lost as well. Does uncle want to bring him back home?"

"A part of his soul is missing. It seems to have entered reincarnation but because its soul isn’t completely it wasn’t reincarnated as a human," said the Sovereign god of Void and Darkness.

Even though he wasn’t the God of Reincarnation, as an evil god who handles the souls of the sinners, he had seen a lot of moves wanting to escape from the Nether Prison. They would leave as only a wisp of soul. Or cut it into pieces etc. Just to escape however with too many wardens on patrol that is almost impossible to achieve. A hell chain was given to each of them restraining souls was its most effective effect. So much that even a god soul will be no different from a mortal soul when chained with this.

On the other hand, Xie Yun was stunned with what he heard. At first, he thought that the children were saying nonsensical things, but it seems to be not after understanding the meaning of it.

"You know about my master, Xie Hei?" He asked.
