Chapter 2185: Chapter 2185
Su Yang was still guessing who this man was when he heard the principal's words, his head buzzed as if struck, and he was completely stunned.
This man, could it really be Su Zhan?
It's his father who has been missing for so long!?
The man was indeed Su Zhan. His gaze swept over the crowd, originally intending to speak with the principal, but then he suddenly saw Su Yang and froze.
The two stared at each other like that for a full minute before Su Yang took a hesitant step forward, disbelief in his voice as he trembled, "Father…"
Su Zhan's body shook lightly, his eyes turning red, and after a long pause, he trembled as he spoke, "You… are you Yang'er?"
Although Su Zhan had initially given Su Yang a different name, Su Yang had always used this name. Moreover, with Wan Xiong present, he certainly informed Su Zhan of the outside world's happenings. So, Su Zhan also tacitly accepted Su Yang's name.
"Father!" Su Yang was overwhelmingly emotional, suddenly rushing forward a few steps, and dropped to his knees in front of Su Zhan, his voice cracking with sobs.
Su Zhan embraced Su Yang's arm, helping him to stand up, holding back the tears about to flow, thoroughly inspecting Su Yang up and down, and trembled as he said, "Good! Good! This is wonderful!"
Su Yang couldn't hold back either, tears flowing profusely. This was his father, the man who once stood tall in the Human World, the figure spoken of countless times in legend.
Su Yang never imagined he could see Su Zhan again one day. This encounter, meeting Su Zhan once more, was something he couldn't even dream of, his emotions stirring to the extreme.
The surrounding people were also filled with delightful surprise. Who could have imagined running into Su Zhan in this place, truly an unexpected joy?
It was known that even before his disappearance, Su Zhan was a figure standing shoulder to shoulder with assassins, a pillar in the Human World with a high status.
Su Zhan had been missing for all these years, and everyone had basically given up hope, believing Su Zhan might have died.
And now, to find Su Zhan here, this was indeed a blessing for the Human World!
After a moment of reflection, Su Yang finally composed his excitement. He observed the three small grass huts before them, curiously asking, "Father, Master Lian, why… why are you here?"
"This tale is a lengthy one!" Su Zhan sighed and slowly recounted what he had experienced.
After listening to Su Zhan's words, everyone understood the situation.
Originally, Su Zhan had battled the then Heavenly Court Master, and the two had agreed to fight at Outer Heaven. That battle ended with Su Zhan as the winner, though it cost him significant power.
They returned from Outer Heaven, but passing the Devil's Delta, they were suddenly ambushed by three experts from the Asura Clan.
These three Asura Clan experts had been lying in wait, ready to attack Su Zhan and the Heavenly Court Master while they were mutually injured.
At that time, Su Zhan and the Heavenly Court Master indeed had little power left to resist, so they had no choice but to dive into the sea, hoping to use the underwater terrain to escape.
However, the three Asura experts chased them underwater, engaging in another fierce battle. During this battle, it seemed like a breach was accidentally created, and a black opening appeared in the sea, sucking them all in.
Afterwards, they fell into a valley sealed by the Nine Realms Saints, located outside the Demon Abyss.
The five fell together, with the three Asura experts first having their power completely drained, followed by their being slain by Su Zhan.
The Heavenly Court Master was then also drained of power, and after some time, this powerful Heavenly Realm expert died in the valley as well.
Finally, only Su Zhan remained, not fully drained of power, but completely trapped in that valley.
The time trapped there was far too long, and Su Zhan couldn't bear the torment, eventually jumping into the Demon Abyss.
Firstly, to explore and see if there was any chance to leave. Secondly, on the brink of collapse, if no chance arose, to perish in the Demon Abyss would be an end.
As a result, upon falling into the Demon Abyss, he landed in this place.
Here, although Su Zhan's power was still limited, survival was not an issue. In this valley were various plants and animals, allowing for normal living. So, Su Zhan remained here, building a grass hut.
The other two huts were built after Wan Xiong arrived.
Hearing this, the crowd couldn't help but be shocked.
Su Zhan, in this place, doesn't have his power drained? How could this be? Why do both father and son possess such capabilities?
Su Yang also looked at Su Zhan with bewilderment. Could it be a reason related to the Su Family's bloodline?
"Mr. Su, I have a question!" The principal asked: "You aren't drained of power by the Demon Abyss, but what about Mr. Lian?"
Su Yang immediately looked at Su Zhan; this question was precisely what he wanted to ask. If Wan Xiong wasn't drained of power by the Demon Abyss, then it wasn't due to the Su Family's bloodline. The reason behind this needed thorough investigation.
"He used to be drained of power by the Demon Abyss." Su Zhan said: "When he and Miss Huo first fell outside, both had their power drained by the Demon Abyss and nearly perished outside. Fortunately, I would go out from time to time, and upon discovering them outside, I brought them here."
"I see!" The crowd realized, finally understanding why Wan Xiong was also here.
"You said he used to be drained of power…" asked the third generation Martial God curiously, "What about now?"
"Now he isn't." Su Zhan said.
"Why not?" the crowd asked in unison; this was the key point they wanted to know.
Su Zhan sighed and looked at Su Yang: "You aren't drained of power by the Demon Abyss either?"
Su Yang nodded; being able to come here, it was certain.
"Ah!" Su Zhan sighed with a sense of resignation, "Ultimately, it is too late!"
"Ah?" Su Yang asked in surprise, not understanding what Su Zhan meant by this. From Su Zhan's expression, it seemed something irreversible had occurred.
"Do you know why we aren't drained by the Demon Abyss?" Su Zhan gazed at Su Yang, stating solemnly, "Because we have cultivated Devouring the World!"
"What!?" Su Yang's eyes widened in shock; it was due to Devouring the World?
