Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7822

Chapter 7739: Father and Son

“So his seemingly indifferent background is none other than the Chaos Demon Emperor!”

“But if he doesn’t care, why is he showing up now?”

“Everyone says the Chaos Demon Emperor doesn’t care about their growth, only their lives. Now that such a commotion has occurred, what if someone dies? As Hun Qing’s family, we naturally have to come and see.”

Looking at the two figures with very similar temperaments and appearances, the people from both the inner and outer borders whispered among themselves.

The Chaos Demon Emperor remained indifferent, and suddenly waved his hand.

*Buzz—*

A pure black Dao array barrier slowly rose, completely isolating the father and son from the outside world.

The surroundings instantly became eerily quiet.

Perhaps neither of them expected that their rare moment of solitude would be like this.

“Cough cough…”

In the silence, Hun Qing suddenly coughed twice.

His consciousness returned, but his vision was somewhat blurry; he only saw a figure that seemed somewhat familiar.

Hun Qing and the Chaos Demon Emperor locked eyes.

“You…” Hun Qing opened his mouth, his voice hoarse.

The Chaos Demon Emperor remained silent, taking out the Origin Spirit Spring and pouring it over Hun Qing’s head.

With a gurgling sound,

Hun Qing’s severely injured body, as if parched by rain, greedily absorbed the Origin Spirit Spring.

His injuries rapidly healed, and his consciousness gradually cleared.

Upon seeing the person before him, Hun Qing was momentarily stunned.

“Your…Your Majesty,” he stammered, finally managing to utter two words.

“We are father and son, just call me Father. No one else here can hear us,” the Hunmo Heavenly Emperor said calmly.

A father-son reunion should be a joyous occasion, yet Hun Qing felt no happiness whatsoever.

Even a normal address to his father required absolute silence.

“Yes, Father,” Hun Qing stammered, his eyes lowered, lost in thought.

Even in private, he didn’t deserve to call him “Father Emperor.”

A genius who had already entered the top three in the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War seemed insignificant in the eyes of this Hunmo Heavenly Emperor.

He had risked serious injury to prove himself, only to receive this answer; Hun Qing felt a pang of irony.

“Raise your head and let me see,” the Chaos Demon Emperor said again.

Hun Qing’s gaze showed a slight struggle, but after a brief moment, he complied.

He couldn’t disobey the Chaos Demon Emperor. Although his mother had passed away, leaving him with no ties, he didn’t have the leverage to openly break with the emperor.

He needed the emperor’s support.

Possessing the ancestral bloodline was both an opportunity and a burden for the solitary Hun Qing.

After all, with such blood, its purity was irrelevant; if he could grow up, Hun Qing would pose a significant threat to the status of others and wouldn’t be tolerated.

Hun Qing knew that without the Chaos Demon Emperor’s support, the other Chaos Demon princes and princesses wouldn’t let him go.

At this moment, the Chaos Demon Emperor looked at him indifferently.

He said slowly, “You’re quite like me when I was young, equally stubborn, equally driven, always believing that anything in this world can be achieved with determination.”

“I have no choice. To live with a little more dignity, I can only move forward,” Hun Qing said, pursing his lips.

His status as an illegitimate child was often a shackle for him.

If he were willing to rely on others for opportunities, he might have lived a carefree life and lived well until the end of his lifespan.

But that was not what he sought.

“Now that things have come to this, do you blame me?” Hun Mo Tiandi looked into Hun Qing’s eyes.

Hun Qing silently shook his head, not responding directly.

Both remained silent for a long time.

Then, Hun Mo Tiandi said slowly, “To tell you the truth, your performance this time was very good. Inspector Han might choose you and give you an important position.”

“Inspector Han… he has taken a liking to me?” Hun Qing looked up, somewhat surprised.

“What, don’t you want this opportunity? This is a golden opportunity that others would beg for,” Hun Mo Tiandi said calmly.

“No, no, it’s just that I didn’t expect it,” Hun Qing said, lowering his eyes.

“I know what you’re thinking,” the Hunmo Heavenly Emperor said slowly, his gaze deep. “However, since Inspector Han has this intention, you should put aside your little thoughts and go to the Republic of Gods. That’s the most suitable place for you, and you must go no matter what.”

Hun Qing clenched his fists slightly, then could only let them open helplessly. “I understand, Father.”

His feelings were impossible to hide, nor was there any need to.

The Hunmo Heavenly Emperor could actually guess what Hun Qing had planned before.

His first choice was the Great Wall of the Martial Immortal North Crown, not the Republic of Gods, but now it seemed that things couldn’t go against his wishes.

“Don’t act as if working under Inspector Han is some bad thing. That’s a future others would kill for.” The Chaos Demon Emperor’s gaze was cold as he continued, “From now on, as long as you work well under him and maintain a good relationship between the Chaos Demon Royal Family and Inspector Han, or even take it a step further, I can make you the true Crown Prince in the future, placing you above all others!”

“What?”

Hun Qing looked up abruptly, his pupils trembling, his eyes filled with disbelief.

The Inner Frontier Franchise Kingdoms valued lineage and bloodline above all else, especially the Ghost God Clan, who were even more stringent in this regard.

And the Chaos Demon Emperor had actually promised to make Hun Qing, a concubine’s son, the Crown Prince.

“Impossible.” Hun Qing immediately knew the answer in his heart.

His mother’s family’s power was practically nonexistent in the vast Chaos Demon First Empire.

With such a background, even if the Chaos Demon Emperor wanted to make him the Crown Prince, the elders and ministers would probably not agree.

Even with his ancestral bloodline, it would be difficult to overcome the opposition!

In the end, he was just a young genius.

Just how powerful is the ancestral bloodline? Few have truly witnessed it, and not everyone dares to gamble on it.

“Nothing is impossible. Call me ‘Father,’ do what you’re supposed to do, and take what you’re supposed to take,” the Chaotic Demon Emperor replied affirmatively.

Having said these final words, the Chaotic Demon Emperor ignored Hun Qing’s reaction and immediately removed the Dao array barrier.

His figure rose into the air and quickly returned to Fengxian Spirit Island.

At this moment, the crowds from both the inner and outer borders surrounding the Myriad Sects Battlefield were all incredibly curious.

“What exactly happened between this father and son?”

“Could it be that Hun Qing is returning to the royal family because of his amazing performance?”

“That’s unlikely… After all this time, he should have returned long ago. It’s just that his mother’s background has been the reason for the delay.”

The crowd’s curiosity ultimately yielded no results.

Meanwhile, on Fengxian Spirit Island!

The Hunmo Heavenly Emperor returned to his seat expressionlessly, revealing no emotion.

Countless gazes followed his figure, all seemingly curious about the final outcome.

“How is it?” Inspector Han glanced at him.

“Lord Han, I will nurture him well. In the future, he may be able to share your burdens,” the Hunmo Heavenly Emperor said slowly.
