Chapter 1368 Elder Sun
?1368 Elder Sun
"I-I have to exin everything…?"
Unwanted memories shed within Tian Yang''s head, causing his expression to darken.
"What—"
Elder Sun was startled by Tian Yang''s dark expression which seemed to be filled with anguish.
Although she had seen him being down before, especially when one mentioned about hisck of talents, she''d never seen such a defeated look on his face.
''What did he experience during the past year?'' she swallowed nervously as she wondered.
"You… What happened to you?" she gathered enough courage to ask him a momentter.
However, Tian Yang remained silent.
Seeing this, Elder Sun turned to look at Ks for answers, but he merely shrugged while shaking his head in silence.
"Whatever. You don''t have to tell me now, but whenever you are ready…"
Tian Yang silently nodded, and his expression rxed a little.
"Anyways… our sect will also be participating in this event. They are currently making their way here as we speak. I just happened to arrive first." Elder Sun said, omitting the reason she separated from the sect just to arrive at the Deste Continent faster.
"The sect…" Tian Yang mumbled.
He then asked, "Do I have to move with the sect inside the tomb?"
"Of course not. In the first ce, many Sect Elders and even the Sect Leader himself will be participating, so it''s not an activity meant for disciples. While disciples are allowed to participate if they desire, they won''t receive any assistance from the sect, so you''re by yourself once inside." Elder Sun said.
"Is that so…"
Tian Yang wasn''t surprised. The tomb of a Golden Immortal attracted experts more than others.
''It''s not like we canpete with them, anyway.'' Tian Yang had already anticipated that the experts would take most of the treasures for themselves while he and the others fought for the leftovers.
Ks suddenly spoke, "Speaking of inside… None of the people from the Nine Immortal ns have returned since they entered the tomb. Normally, they would scout the ce first before engaging it fully, but not this time. Either they are really tight on time or they''ve all perished inside."
"What? There''s no way the Nine Immortal ns would perish inside a tomb, even if it belongs to a Golden Immortal." Elder Sun scoffed at that idea.
The Nine Immortal ns aren''t merely powerful—they represent the most powerful families in the Divine Heavens. If these formidable forces prove unable to survive Han Zexian''s tomb, what hope could the others harbor for survival? Would they not be marching willingly into their own graves?
"Even if you say that, it''s almost been seven days since they entered, but not a single one of them has returned." Ks looked at the door with a pondering look on his face.
Tian Yang looked at Elder Sun and asked, "Do you also n on participating?"
She shook her head, "No, I have no interest in the tomb."
"Then why did you evene here in the first ce?" Tian Yang raised his eyebrows in a puzzled manner.
"I… have my own reasons."
After a brief pause, she looked at him and continued, "You''re entering the tomb, right?"
He nodded with a serious expression.
"Is there anything I can say that will persuade you otherwise?"
Tian Yang stayed silent, but his expression was as stubborn as ever.
Elder Sun sighed, "How stupid of me to think I could persuade you when it hasn''t worked since the beginning."
"I know you''re worried about me, but I have to grow stronger no matter what. I''m sorry, Senior." Tian Yang said.
"Who would be worried about a reckless brat like you?" Elder Sun sneered.
Then she continued, "Give me your hand, I''ll repair the life-
saving treasure in you."
"Huh?"
However, Tian Yang merely reacted with a puzzled look on his face.
"What life-saving treasure? I don''t have anything like that on me," he said.
Without exining further, Elder Sun grabbed his hand and closed her eyes.
The following moment, Tian Yang could feel her spiritual energy entering his Dantian.
Although he couldn''t see it, he could feel something being restored inside his body.
Once she repaired the treasure, Elder Sun opened her eyes to see a baffled look on Tian Yang''s face.
"What is going on?" he inquired again.
Elder Sun then exined, "After seeing how you love to court death so much, I nted a life-saving treasure within your body."
"W-When did you do something like that?!" Tian Yang eximed.
She sighed, "Long before you even became an Inner Disciple. However, it never activated until recently."
"Recently? How recently?" Tian Yang had a premonition that he already knew the answer before even asking.
"About a month after you disappeared from the sect, I suppose." Elder Sun answered.
"..."
Tian Yang immediately recalled how he managed to survive the massive sea demon''s strike.
"T-That was because of the life-saving treasure you''d given me?" Tian Yang muttered in a dazed voice.
"That''s right," she immediately replied. "I don''t know what situation you were in at that time, but the life-saving treasure only activates when it senses certain death, teleporting you to the nearest ''safe'' ce."
''In that case… at that time, her family had already been…''
Even though he had a suspicion that the Huang Family hadn''t survived the sea demon''s attack, having confirmation was an entirely different matter.
"Why… Why didn''t you tell me before…?" Tian Yang suddenly red at Elder Sun with a hint of anger in his gaze.
If he''d known about it beforehand, he could''ve saved the entire Huang Family, and things on the Deste Continent would''ve yed out differently.
"We encountered those bastards because we searched for Xiao Li''s family… If they had been alive, she could''ve survived… her entire family could''ve survived! Why didn''t you tell me, Senior Sun?! WHY?!" Tian Yang suddenly shouted at her with tears flowing down his face.
"I…" Elder Sun was too stunned by Tian Yang''s outburst to give him a response in time. She could only stare at Tian Yang''s crying face, something she''d only ever seen once before, and even then, it wasn''t as emotional.
