Chapter 1620 Li Hao's Tao Origin Immortal Seal (4)

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Even the prisoners of war from the Pride of Heaven Battle cannot be exchanged back, let alone ordinary prisoners. To be captured is to die!

Many eyes revealed despair. They had once lived in darkness, aware of the Demons encircling the Northern Domain, yet they always believed there was hope above them, supported by the major families and hidden forces they knew nothing about!

But now, with the Demons humiliating them at their doorstep, taking the once prideful warriors to their very homes, can they only surrender helplessly?

Does this not mean they are at the end of their wits?

They feel the hope in their hearts shattering, leaving only despair and sorrow. Many have already begun to think about leaving the Northern Domain and escaping it—even if it is the birthplace of many.

"Truly disappointing."

The middle-aged man in the purple robe saw the pair of furious, bloodshot eyes, and his smile grew wider and wider.

Anger is good, the best is when it is out of control.

"Other than this kid from the Lin Family, is there no one else who can take the field? Is this the best the Northern Domain Human Clan has to offer?"

The voice of the middle-aged man in the purple robe was mocking.

The ancestors of various families clenched their fists, their breaths like violent, suppressed whirlpools, ready to explode at any moment.

But they could not speak, because indeed the Northern Domain had no one else to show.

Su Zhenyuan, Jiang Qiuyu, Lin Daogong, and others had ugly expressions on their faces as they saw among the prisoners of war their children and the former prodigies of their clans.

So close, yet so far!

But...

With fists clenched tightly, the bones crackling, Su Zhenyuan gazed at the two figures among them, his children, Su Muqing and Su Wanqing's elder brothers and sisters, named Su Hanshuang and Su Wenyue, both were peerlessly talented, sent to the border, now covered in scars, shackled in chains.

And the other side saw Su Zhenyuan, seeing this long-separated father, their eyes revealed a relieved smile.

Subsequently, they slightly opened their mouths. Though silent, restrained by imprisoning forces and laws, unable to speak, their lip movements whispered silently:

'Father, we're okay.'

'Father, don't fall into his trap.'

Seeing the lip movements of his children, Su Zhenyuan felt his heart wrenching, bleeding, his eyes slightly reddened.

He recalled the Light Emperor Hall, inquiring his wife if he was a qualified father?

Was he?

At this moment, he deeply felt unworthy, failing as a father!

"Children…" He gritted his teeth, feeling an impulse to break the laws and rescue them, but he knew that these Demons dared to such an extent, dared to send that Tao Origin Immortal Seal prodigy woman into battle, surely with the Demon Emperor behind tirelessly watching, ready to intervene.

Then, it would be a battle on the Emperor's level, involving the Jiang, Su, Lin families, yet he knew the Ancestor slept, awakening forcibly would cause great harm, giving the Demons a chance to explore the Human's roots.

Therefore, though his chest surged with waves upon waves, his reason still firmly held sway, telling him what choice to make.

The choice was immensely painful, but reason was so formidable, so clear!

This is the pain of being the backbone of the Human Race, loyal to the great clan but betraying the small clan, loyal to the small clan but betraying the great clan, impossible to reconcile!

Apart from Su Hanshuang and Su Wenyue, other clan prodigies also took this rare opportunity to speak to their closest family members, expressing their longing, while others advised them not to worry, not to sacrifice for them, bidding their last farewell.

Among the twenty, not one pleaded for family assistance to save them.

This scene cast a somber pall over the skies outside Gusu City, many with tears in their eyes.

"Brother Hanshuang, Sister Wenyue!"

Su Muqing, Su Wanqing, and others also teared up, clenching their fists.

The brothers and sisters they revered since childhood now stood before them, disheveled, scarred, yet wearing a relieved smile, bringing them nothing but heartache and sorrow.

"Lin Yeqiu."

Nearby, Lin Zhexuan and others also gazed at the Lin Family prodigy prisoner, their expressions complex.

He was a renowned prodigy of the Lin Family from eight thousand years ago, second only to the present Lin Zhexuan, now his body was full of holes, blood soaking the prison clothes, chains piercing through his limbs, his power suppressed by special materials and laws.

Lin Yeqiu's hair was loose, his eyes swept over the many Lin Family prodigies below, filled with contentment.

At the border, he heard that the Lin Family birthed a rare monster in ten millennia, so delighted he treated the whole camp to a night of revelry, of course, they all took the sobering Immortal Pill afterward.

He looked at his un-greeted father Lin Daogong, his face full of exhaustion and pallor, yet he squeezed out a smile.

'At least there's one last chance to see you, old man…'

He mouthed silently with a smile: 'You won't blame me for not managing to fulfill my filial duty at your side, will you?'

'Old man, you'll no longer have the chance to whip me with your staff.'

He laughed and laughed, but his eyes gradually reddened, tears streaming down:

'Old man, your son is powerless, you need not worry about me anymore…'

'Old man, everything you said before… was right…'

Lin Daogong watched Lin Yeqiu's moving lips, seeing each silent final farewell, he felt as if knives were cutting into his heart, the pain coursing through his body, even reaching the soles, drawing a chilling spasm.

The child who made him most proud, always calling him old man, this rebellious boy…

His eyes reddened, wanting to speak, but his throat felt dry, his voice emerged trembling and hoarse:
