Chapter 28

"Mother, how much farther is it to the Warrior Clan?"

"If we continue at the same speed, it will take us a few more days to reach our destination."

"What if you fly at full speed, how long would it take?"

"Half a day."

"Really that fast! Why don't we just fly there?"

Soaring through the sky was an exhilarating experience. Not only did Xiao Jian feel a surge of excitement, but even Xiao Zhan, who stood beside him, felt his heart race. Although in his previous life he could take airplanes, being carried and flying directly was a completely different matter.

"Mother, let's fly there. I also want to experience the taste of flying."

Seeing her son speak, Zhan Wan'er smiled and nodded, "Since you are so eager, let's fly there."

After saying this, she looked at the excited Xiao Jian and smiled meaningfully. She then picked up the two brothers with one hand each and flew off into the sky.

The Warrior Clan was located in the northern part of Tianqi, in the Qinling Mountains, which bordered the Yuan Meng Empire. The Qinling Mountains stretched for thousands of miles, resembling a giant dragon lying on the ground. A journey that would normally take several days was completed in less than half a day with their rapid flight.

As soon as they landed, Xiao Jian knelt on the ground and vomited uncontrollably. Seeing his pitiful state, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but mutter, "Big brother actually gets airsick. He might be afraid to fly even if he becomes a Xianwu."

Xiao Jian looked up and saw Xiao Zhan's strange smile, immediately feeling his face heat up.

Seeing his miserable state, Zhan Wan'er felt quite satisfied. This boy had given her a lot of trouble over the past six months, and it felt good to have a chance to teach him a lesson. She smiled warmly and said, "The Immortal City is just ahead. Once we get there, we won't be far from the Warrior Clan."

At this moment, the three of them arrived at a medium-sized city at the foot of the Qinling Mountains. From a distance, the imposing characters "Jue Xian" (Immortal City) on the city gate caught their eye. As they approached, the sight of the characters made Xiao Zhan feel as if he were on a battlefield, with corpses strewn everywhere and blood flowing like rivers.

In an instant, Xiao Zhan felt a gaze from within the city, watching him. The feeling of being watched was unsettling. After a moment, he turned to look at his mother and brother, only to see that they seemed unaware and were already walking into the city. Was it just an illusion? Shaking his head, Xiao Zhan suppressed his surprise and followed them.

The city walls were covered with the marks of time, with deep grooves visible everywhere, as if they had been deeply scratched by huge weapons. This was an ancient city, and the three of them entered without any hindrance. As soon as they stepped through the city gate, they were surrounded by ancient architecture.

Walking down the streets, the two brothers listened to Zhan Wan'er tell the history of the city. She smiled and said, "Legend has it that this city is a magical treasure. One day, it suddenly flew down from the sky and landed here. It is said to exist to suppress the gateway to another dimension."

"Wow! That's so exaggerated," Xiao Zhan exclaimed.

Xiao Jian was even more amazed, "Heaven! Who could be so powerful? Does he want to use a city to crush the enemy?"

Looking at the scenery within the city, Zhan Wan'er's face showed a warm smile. This was her hometown, and she hadn't been back for over ten years.

Unconsciously, the three of them arrived at the center of the city, in front of a large mansion with its gates closed—the Qin Residence.

Before they could knock, the heavy gates slowly opened, and an old man with a slightly hunched back appeared before them. His eyes were cloudy, and he looked frail. When his gaze fell on Zhan Wan'er, his eyes lit up, and his face showed surprise and joy.

"Miss! You're finally home."

Zhan Wan'er had already removed her veil. Looking at the old man, she choked up, "Uncle Qin, I'm back to see you."

Uncle Qin moved forward excitedly, grabbed her hand, and tears streamed down his face. After a while, his gaze shifted to the two Xiao brothers behind her. His eyes passed over Xiao Jian and focused on Xiao Zhan.

With just one look, his cloudy eyes suddenly sparkled, and a look of wild joy appeared on his face. His gaze was so intense that Xiao Zhan felt very uncomfortable, as if the old man had some ulterior motive. He was so scared that he tightly clung to Zhan Wan'er's skirt.

Uncle Qin, with an excited expression, asked, "Miss, is this your son?"

Zhan Wan'er smiled and nodded, "Zhan'er, come over and call Uncle Qin."

Xiao Zhan, feeling very uneasy, said, "Uncle Qin."

"Ha ha ha! The lineage of the War God finally has a male heir."

Xiao Zhan was completely baffled by his excitement.

Looking at Xiao Zhan, Uncle Qin's smile grew even wider, his eyes almost squinting. He warmly grabbed Xiao Zhan's hand and pulled him into the residence. Xiao Zhan felt very uncomfortable and tried to pull away, but was shocked to find that the old man's grip was like an iron clamp, immovable.

"Damn! He's a master."

Uncle Qin was very attentive to Xiao Zhan, asking about his well-being and showing great care. His kind and loving expression made Xiao Zhan feel as if he had found a long-lost relative. In contrast, Xiao Jian was completely ignored, which made him feel very hurt and depressed.

The residence was very large and beautifully landscaped. Uncle Qin continuously introduced everything in the residence to Xiao Zhan. Unconsciously, they arrived at the main residence. Pointing to a beautiful courtyard, Uncle Qin smiled and said, "Young Master, this will be your residence from now on."

After everything was arranged, Uncle Qin said seriously, "Young Master, everything here is your private property. If you need anything, just tell the servants, and no one here can disobey your orders."

"Ah, why?"

"Ha ha, you'll understand in the future."

After saying this, Uncle Qin left with a smile, leaving Xiao Zhan confused. After a while, he looked at Xiao Jian and asked, "Big brother, do you know what Uncle Qin was talking about? I didn't understand a word."

Xiao Jian sat down in a chair and rolled his eyes, "Who knows? Maybe he's crazy."

Xiao Zhan was speechless.

In a study within the Qin Residence, Zhan Wan'er and Uncle Qin were sitting opposite each other.

Today, Uncle Qin had a smile on his face, looking unusually happy, which was the first time Zhan Wan'er had seen him like this. In her memory, Uncle Qin was always serious and would at most nod when he saw her.

Laughing, Uncle Qin said with satisfaction, "This time, Miss did well, bringing back a young master for our lineage of the War God." Then he sighed, "For so many years, a once powerful lineage now has only Miss and the young master left. I truly feel guilty for failing to fulfill the master's trust."

Zhan Wan'er gently scolded, "Uncle Qin, you shouldn't blame yourself. It's not your fault."

Uncle Qin said seriously, "Miss, do you know how long it has been since the lineage of the War God had a male child?" Without waiting for Zhan Wan'er to answer, he sighed, "Ten thousand years."

Zhan Wan'er was shocked, "That long?"

Uncle Qin sighed, "Indeed. Otherwise, they wouldn't have left Tianyuan and entered the Lost Land."

Zhan Wan'er asked curiously, "They left because of this reason ten thousand years ago?"

Uncle Qin shook his head and sighed, "Among the four clans, only our lineage of the War God suffered the most severe curse, and no male children were born for ten thousand years. Out of necessity, they had to go to the Lost Land to seek a solution. But it has been ten thousand years, and we don't know if they succeeded."

Zhan Wan'er asked, "Is the Lost Land very dangerous?"

Uncle Qin shook his head, "Tianyuan is sealed, and to reach the Demon Realm, one must pass through the Lost Land. It was a major battlefield during the Fifth Great War, where many supreme beings fell, so it is dangerous, but not for them."

Thinking of the curse suffered by the clan, Uncle Qin was filled with hatred. Those despicable people, unable to defeat the Warrior Clan in battle, used a vicious curse, resulting in the current state of the Warrior Clan, where males make up less than one percent, especially in the lineage of the War God, which now has only Miss and the young master left.

As the guardian of the lineage of the War God, he hated his own powerlessness, only able to watch helplessly.

Uncle Qin's full name was Qin Zhan, and he also had the blood of the Warrior Clan. From the moment Zhan Wan'er was born, Uncle Qin had always looked like this, and no one knew how long he had lived. Everyone only knew that he was the guardian of the lineage of the War God, silently protecting the entire Warrior Clan.

The Qin Residence was home to the descendants of the Qin lineage, who had been guardians of the lineage of the War God for generations. From the moment they were born, their mission was set, and even with the decline of the lineage of the War God, it remained unchanged.

Uncle Qin suddenly smiled, "Miss, what brings you back this time?"

Zhan Wan'er quickly said, "As a member of the Warrior Clan, the War Valley is our root. I plan to leave Zhan'er here until he comes of age, and I hope Uncle Qin will take good care of him."

Uncle Qin laughed heartily and nodded, "Taking care of you is my duty. Miss can rest assured."
