Chapter 856: Dao Ancestor’s Death (3)
Editor: Henyee Translations
Hearing Lin Xiao’s hesitant and anxious voice, Xu Jiajia immediately felt uneasy.
“Lin Xiao, tell me what happened to Su Yun.”
Today happened to be Xu Kui’s day off. At this moment, he was sitting in the living room drinking tea. When he heard Xu Jiajia call out Su Yun’s name, Xu Kui stopped drinking his tea and focused on Xu Jiajia.
“We went up the mountain to clean for Uncle Su. I accidentally touched Uncle Su’s skin and felt a strange coldness. Then… Then I checked Uncle Su’s breathing. He’s not breathing anymore.”
“What?”
Xu Jiajia’s reaction attracted Xu Kui’s attention again. She hung up the phone without a word and hurriedly walked out of the door.
“What happened, Jiajia?” Xu Kui grabbed Xu Jiajia and asked in confusion. It was only then did he see that Xu Jiajia’s face was covered in tears.
“Dad, Lin Xiao said that Su Yun… is dead…”
“Huh?” Xu Kui’s eyes widened as he stood rooted to the ground. He could not believe his ears. “I’ll go with you. Hurry!”
Xu Kui reacted and quickly pulled Xu Jiajia into the military car. However, before getting into the car, he quickly made a call.
Su Yun’s significance to Great Xia was extraordinary. He had to quickly report such matters. Regardless of whether it was true or not, as long as it was something related to Su Yun, Xu Kui had no right to make decisions on his own.
Xu Kui’s call immediately shook the military. The higher-ups of all sides kept reporting step by step. These things were not something they could deal with at all.
Zhao Guofeng was flipping through the latest data file in the Nantianmen’s command office. Just then, hurried footsteps came from the corridor. Then, the office door was pushed open forcefully. A soldier hurriedly stood at the door. This scene quickly attracted the doubts of the others.
“What’s the matter? Why are you so rash?!” Zhao Guofeng frowned in dissatisfaction.
However, the soldier said breathlessly, “Chief, the military has an emergency call. They said it’s about Dao Ancestor Su Yun.”
Su Yun’s name quickly attracted everyone’s attention. Zhao Guofeng seemed to have realized something and quickly stood up to follow the soldier out. In the past few years, there had been no news of Su Yun. And yet, the military suddenly called and said that it was about Su Yun. It naturally made Zhao Guofeng feel a little uneasy.
Soon, Zhao Guofeng followed the soldier to the phone. He picked it up and went straight to the point.
“What is it?”
“Chief, bad news. It’s very likely that Dao Ancestor Su Yun passed away in seclusion…”
Along the way, Zhao Guofeng had thought of countless ways, but he had never thought of this. Therefore, after hearing this, he quickly frowned. There was even a hint of anger in his tone.
“What nonsense are you talking about!”
“Sir, this news was reported by Xu Kui, the regiment commander of the Hibiscus City Military District. He said that he was on his way to Mount Shengu. According to the phone call he received, it’s confirmed that Su Yun no longer has any vital signs.”
Zhao Guofeng frowned and fell into deep thought. If it were anyone else, he would have believed it. However, if Su Yun died in seclusion, he would be the first to not believe it.
“That’s impossible. Su Yun is a Dao Ancestor, a master of all spells. We know too little about cultivation. This might only be a phenomenon of faking death during seclusion. I believe in Su Yun. It’s impossible for him to leave just like that.”
Zhao Guofeng calmly thought about the entire situation, and what he had just said was the first intuition that appeared in his heart. The crisis at the border at the beginning made everyone think that Su Yun had sacrificed herself, but in the end, didn’t Su Yun still appear in front of everyone? Also, Xu Jiajia had already been judged dead in medicine, but she was dragged back by Su Yun.
After so many things had happened, Zhao Guofeng did not believe that Su Yun would die so easily. He was a Dao Ancestor. How could he die while meditating? He would rather believe that he could live forever than believe that he would die for no reason!
