327: chat!

After entering the Barren Land, Su Ming walked directly towards the True Dragon statue he remembered.

Before long, a colossal True Dragon statue appeared before Su Ming's eyes.

Seeing the statue, Su Ming reached out and touched it directly.

The next second, his figure vanished from the Barren Land, reappearing within the Primordial Void Realm.

"Hey! Who are you?"

Suddenly, a light and incredibly familiar voice reached Su Ming's ears.

Situ Xiaoyue?

Su Ming looked in the direction of the voice and found that the person perfectly matched the figure in his memory.

"A human?"

"How can a human enter the Primordial Void Realm?"

Situ Xiaoyue was as lively and spirited as Su Ming remembered, walking around Su Ming and observing him.

"Why aren't you speaking!"

Seeing that Su Ming didn't speak, Situ Xiaoyue couldn't help but frown.

Su Ming looked at Situ Xiaoyue before him and almost burst out laughing, but fortunately, he managed to hold it in at the crucial moment.

"Uh... I was being hunted by Eerie Creature and had no choice but to flee here. Where is this place?"

Su Ming controlled his emotions and made himself look terrified.

"Also... are you from the Dragon Clan?"

Seeing that Su Ming had recognized her identity as a Dragon Clan member, Situ Xiaoyue put her hands on her hips and spoke proudly.

"Of course! This Young Miss is a direct Bloodline descendant of the Grand Void Ancient Dragon!"

"I can..."

"Xiaoyue!"

Just then, another voice familiar to Su Ming appeared. A giant Grand Void Ancient Dragon materialized in the sky, then transformed into a human figure and appeared beside Situ Xiaoyue.

This person was Situ Haoyue.

However, what surprised Su Ming was that Situ Haoyue arrived faster than he had expected.

Situ Haoyue shielded Situ Xiaoyue behind him, looking at Su Ming with a cold expression.

"A human? What are you doing in the Primordial Void Realm?"

Just as Su Ming was about to say something, Situ Xiaoyue, who had been pulled behind Situ Haoyue, whispered.

"Brother, he said he was being chased by Eerie Creature and fled here."

Upon hearing this, Situ Haoyue turned and glared at his sister, then continued to look at Su Ming.

"Chased by Eerie Creature?"

"You... why do you have our clan's Bloodline? And the concentration seems to be quite high?"

Seeing that Situ Haoyue had detected the Bloodline within him, Su Ming knew the time was ripe. This was the best opportunity to build a closer relationship.

"I once obtained a drop of Taixu Ancient Dragon Essence Blood and received its Legacy."

Following that, Su Ming recounted his encounter with the True Dragon Phantom in the Canglan Realm.

Situ Haoyue was greatly shocked after hearing this.

Because from the Qi emanating from Su Ming's body just now, he could clearly feel that the Bloodline Power within Su Ming was from the same lineage as his.

Therefore, the Senior Su Ming spoke of was very likely his, Situ Haoyue's, Old Ancestor.

"You... this isn't a good place to talk, let's go somewhere else!"

Then, Situ Haoyue waved his hand, taking Su Ming and Situ Xiaoyue away from the place.

When Su Ming opened his eyes again, he found that he had arrived at Situ Haoyue's residence.

"You stay here for now. I'll return to speak with you after I've met with the Clan Chief."

Before he finished speaking, Situ Haoyue vanished from Su Ming's sight.

"That's good too!"

Looking at the vanished Situ Haoyue, Su Ming's brows relaxed slightly.

This time, he had come alone and had not brought Xuanyuan Tianji.

In the previous simulation, Clan Leader Situ might not have made things difficult for them due to Xuanyuan Tianji's identity, but this time was different.

This time, Su Ming came alone; he had no status, no background.

The only thing he could rely on was his Bloodline, which had a considerable concentration, but this Bloodline might only be effective in swaying the Situ siblings.

The next evening.

Su Ming finally waited for Situ Haoyue.

Upon Situ Haoyue's return, he immediately attacked Su Ming without a word.

"Are you crazy?"

Facing Situ Haoyue's sudden attack, Su Ming could only reluctantly fight back.

After one strike, Situ Haoyue attacked again.

After more than a dozen consecutive attacks, Su Ming realized that Situ Haoyue had no intention of taking his life.

He also guessed the other party's objective.

"Since that's the case, I won't hold back either!"

Su Ming decisively activated Dragon Blood Boiling.

The next moment, a Dragon Qi only slightly weaker than Situ Haoyue's emerged around Su Ming.

"That's enough!"

Upon sensing the dense Bloodline Qi within Su Ming's body, Situ Haoyue decisively ceased his attack.

"Could the concentration of Bloodline within your body have already reached ninety percent?"

Su Ming nodded heavily at the question.

"Back then, after refining that drop of Essence Blood, my Bloodline concentration began to surge. I don't know why this happened."

Su Ming began to bluff with a serious expression.

However, Situ Haoyue, unaware of the truth, was indeed fooled by Su Ming's words.

"Could it be that your Bloodline has undergone an atavistic awakening?"

"That shouldn't be possible. How could a human like you... Wait, could it be because you refined the Old Ancestor's Essence Blood?"

Situ Haoyue no longer paid attention to Su Ming, but instead walked outside alone to ponder, leaving only a single sentence for Su Ming.

"You are temporarily safe. The Clan Chief does not intend to do anything to you!"

...After a brief encounter, Su Ming temporarily settled down in the Primordial Void Realm.

He lived there for a year.

The eighth year!

During this year of residence, Su Ming, as expected, underwent Situ Haoyue's trials.

Situ Haoyue brought in Dragon Clan members from various Realms of the Earth Immortal Realm to fight him, and Su Ming emerged victorious in all of them.

One evening, Su Ming found Situ Haoyue drinking alone.

"Are you trying to leave the Primordial Void Realm?"

After a year of interaction with Su Ming, Situ Haoyue had completely shed his hostility towards him.

Situ Haoyue handed a jar of immortal wine to Su Ming.

"Yes, I suspect my father isn't dead and is likely still fighting against the Eerie Creature."

"Actually, I've suspected for a long time that my father wasn't dead, but the Clan Chief insisted that my father had passed away."

"However, after seeing you and hearing about the situation in the Weiyang Immortal Domain, I've made my own judgment. I firmly believe my father isn't dead!"

Su Ming quietly listened to Situ Haoyue's outpouring, while also gulping down the immortal wine.

This immortal wine was a rare and precious immortal item; Su Ming wouldn't waste a single drop.

"If that's the case, with your strength, returning to the Weiyang Immortal Domain should be easy, so why do you look so troubled?"

Although Su Ming knew the answer in his heart, he still pretended not to know.

"Alas!"

"I can't leave Xiaoyue behind!"

Situ Haoyue turned his head and looked at Su Ming with a bitter smile.

"From what I know of Xiaoyue, as soon as I leave the Primordial Void Realm, she will definitely follow."

"But... it's too dangerous outside, and Xiaoyue could very well encounter danger."
