Su Hongyuan opened his eyes with difficulty, and looked at Su Chen with turbid eyes. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he spoke in a hoarse and low voice.
"Qingtian said that you are the great genius of our Su family, with top-grade spiritual roots!"
“Cough cough cough!”
A violent coughing sound was heard. Su Chen wanted to step forward, but Su Hongyuan waved his hand.
"Don't worry about me, it's an old problem!"
Su Hongyuan took two deep breaths and said again: "You will all be the pillars of my family in the future. I hope you can lead the Su family to go further."
"Grandpa doesn't have much time left. I'm afraid I can't be with you anymore."
Although it was the first time they met, Su Chen could feel the kindness and doting from Su Hongyuan.
Su He's daughter Su Qianqian's eyes welled up with tears and she began to cry softly.
There was an atmosphere of sadness in the tunnel.
Sadness and deep self-blame also appeared in Su Qingtian's eyes.
To put it bluntly, Su Hongyuan has become what he is today because of him. Without what happened back then, his father would not have ended up like this.
The life span of a person in the Half-Step Void Refinement Stage is at least five thousand years. Su Hongyuan became like this at the age of only fifteen hundred. All this is because of him.
"hateful!"
Su Qingtian clenched his fists, his eyes full of unwillingness.
Su Hongyuan turned his head and looked at Su Qingtian with a gentle smile on his face. "It's okay, kid. Everything is destined to happen. That incident was not your fault. You don't have to blame yourself too much."
Su Qingtian said nothing. He clenched his fists and trembled all over, trying his best to suppress the grief in his heart.
It has been more than ten years since the Su family entered Mingyue City. This is the first time that Su Hongyuan has asked all of them to come.
This also means that his life is coming to an end.
Su Hongyuan said helplessly: "I heard from Qingyun that the four major families have joined forces to target you. Unfortunately, I can only stay in the Su family and cannot use my last remaining strength to clear the obstacles for you."
A formation was set up here, and he was connected to the formation, surviving by absorbing the power of the earth.
Once he leaves the formation, he will die quickly.
Even if he wanted to use his last bit of strength to help the Su family, he was powerless.
Su Qingyun said with a sad look in his eyes: "Dad, you have done a lot for us, there is no need to do this."
"You've been with us all the way, and we can do the rest."
Su Hongyuan had a weak smile on his face: "In this case... I feel relieved."
On the other side, Su Chen stared at Su Hongyuan intently. The old man's problem seemed to be a little different.
He realized that Su Hongyuan's weak life breath was not due to a problem of lifespan, but because his body and soul were weak. This situation usually happened because he had burned his essence and blood, or used some forbidden skills, which backfired and damaged his body.
Su Hongyuan glanced at them again, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a calm tone, "Being able to see you one last time, I have no regrets in this life."
"You all should leave, I want to be alone for a while."
Su Qingtian and the others all had grief on their faces, as they all knew that they would never meet again.
Su Hongyuan's aura was rapidly weakening, and he could only last for two or three days at most.
Although Su Hongyuan has never left the tunnel in the years since entering Mingyue City, he is still the pillar of the Su family. If it weren't for him, the Wang family would have joined forces with the Yuan family and the Li family to attack the Su family.
If they were not afraid of Su Hongyuan's residual power, how could the two people in the Su family at the Spirit Transformation Stage resist the combined forces of the three families?
To be precise, there are four families, because the He family originally formed an alliance with the Su family mainly because of Su Hongyuan.
Su Qingshan's eldest son, Su Minghu, suddenly spoke up: "Grandpa, is there no way to save you? There are many natural treasures in Mingyue City that can prolong life. They are not particularly difficult to obtain."
The other juniors also looked at Su Hongyuan, their eyes full of confusion.
Su Hongyuan opened his eyes, a doting look on his face. "Grandpa's illness isn't a matter of lifespan, it's a matter of blood and energy drying up. It can only be cured with something that defies the heavens, something that's very rare in the world."
"Grandpa is already very happy that you have this heart."
Su Minghu's eyes were filled with sadness. The Su family always valued family ties. Even though it was their first time meeting Su Hongyuan, blood was thicker than water, and they didn't want Su Hongyuan to die like this.
Although Su Hongyuan gave people a calm impression, they also felt that the old man had a deep sense of powerlessness.
No one wants to die, including Su Hongyuan.
At this moment, Su Chen suddenly spoke.
"Dad, I want to stay and talk to the old man alone, is that okay?"
Su Qingtian nodded dejectedly upon hearing this, and turned around and left the cave without saying a word.
The others didn't say much after hearing this. Su Chen now had a very high status in the clan, so they had to give him some face, so they all left the cave.
Soon, Su Chen and Su Hongyuan were the only two people left in the cave.
Su Hongyuan had a kind face, but his voice was weak: "Child, what do you want to tell me?"
Su Chen was silent for a moment, then asked curiously, "Grandpa, what are the conditions for saving you?"
No matter what the reason was, he didn't want Su Hongyuan to die like this.
Hearing this, Su Hongyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head. He said helplessly:
"You want to seek help from your master, right? Qingtian told me about your situation, but my situation is different. If it had been a few years earlier, I might have been saved, but now my blood and essence have dried up, my meridians have broken, and my body has collapsed. Any treasure that can save me needs to be at least of the Heavenly Grade."
