Chapter 654: The Secret of Man City

"I'm fine."

Old Man Su Yuntian spoke, then his brows furrowed, and he looked sad. He sighed softly and said, "Another disaster has occurred. Thousands of people have died, tens of thousands have been seriously injured, and even more have suffered minor injuries. I had expected the Immortality Gate to come back, but I didn't think it would be so soon. And this time, they even brought a powerful Demonic Emperor Realm expert. Fortunately, the strong warriors from the Sacred Mountain arrived in time."

"Was it the Immortality Gate that attacked us last time?" Su Yi asked the old man. He had heard about the enemy attacking Man City twenty years ago, but he didn't know it was the Immortality Gate.

"Yes, it was the Immortality Gate. I didn't expect them to come back and cause trouble again after twenty years," sighed Old Man Su Yuntian.

"The Immortality Gate..." Su Yi muttered to himself. He was confused and wondered why the Immortality Gate would target Man City repeatedly. Man City was just a small place on the border, not particularly significant. Why would the Immortality Gate be interested in it?

"Why would the Immortality Gate come back again? Could it be seeking revenge for their failure twenty years ago?" Su Yi pondered. That seemed to be the only answer he could think of.

If it wasn't for revenge twenty years ago, it's hard to imagine why there are so many strong people from the Yuan Void Realm and a powerful Demon Emperor coming forward for a small city like Man City. It's simply not worth it.

Looking at Su Yi, Old Man Su Yuntian's gaze suddenly became serious, and he said, "Child, there are some things that it's time for me to tell you."

Seeing the sudden seriousness in the old man's expression, Su Yi was confused and quite surprised.

"This matter has always been known only to the heads of the five major families, passed down from generation to generation."

Old Man Su Yuntian looked at Su Yi and continued seriously, "The Liu, Su, He, Mo, and Song families have always existed in Man City. It is rumored that our ancestors settled here, multiplied, and thrived because Man City is not an ordinary place, but a treasure land."

"Man City is a treasure land?"

Su Yi was astonished, his eyes widening in surprise.

"Indeed, Man City is a precious place. The ancestors of the five great families have all left messages, saying that they must protect Man City for generations."

Said Old Man Su Yuntian, these were the words passed down to him by his father.

"Could it be that there are treasures in Man City?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yi's eyes lit up, wondering if there were hidden treasures in this unremarkable Man City.

Old Man Su Yuntian shook his head with a bitter smile, and said to Su Yi, "If only there were treasures in Man City. For generations, the five great families have searched every nook and cranny inside and outside of Man City, but never found anything. In the end, no one believed that Man City was a place of treasure."

"So that's how it is..."

Su Yi pondered. It had been so many generations, if there really were treasures in Man City, the people from the five great families would have found them long ago. There was no need to search now.

"The five great families no longer believe that Man City is a place of treasure, but it has always been our home, for our ancestors for generations."

Old Man Su Yuntian looked fierce and dominant as he said, "Man City must not be touched by anyone!"

"Could it be that the Immortality Gate heard some rumors and keeps trying to get involved with Man City?"

Su Yi asked softly. This kind of thing has been passed down through generations, but it seems unlikely.

"It's possible, but unlikely. Only the leaders of the five major clans know about this. How could the Immortality Gate know?" The old man pondered.

Su Yi furrowed his brow. The leaders of the Immortality Gate and the Green Emperor have both escaped. If there's a chance, capturing them and questioning them will reveal the truth.

But Su Yi knew that it was just wishful thinking. With his current strength, capturing the Green Emperor and the leader of the Immortality Gate would be a foolish dream. He would only end up getting himself in trouble.

"Grandpa, is there anything special about Man City?" Su Yi asked, becoming interested in Man City.

"There is nothing particularly special about it!" The old man shook his head, having lived in Man City his whole life without feeling anything special about it.

"But..."

Then, Old Man Su Yuntian hesitated for a moment, looking at Su Yi, and said, "Actually, there is something that I have never told anyone before."

Su Yi immediately looked at Old Man Su Yuntian attentively.

"Twenty years ago, I was only at the eighth level of the Yuan True Realm in my cultivation. But at that time, everyone thought it was me who defeated the invading sect leader of the Immortality Gate and many of their powerful members, but actually..."

Old Man Su Yuntian paused for a moment, his face showing a hint of sadness.

Upon hearing this, Su Yi's curiosity was sparked. Ever since he learned that the Immortality Gate had invaded Man City twenty years ago, he had been wondering about it.

The old man had just stepped into the Yuan Void Realm, which was the Yuan True Realm twenty years ago.

Rumor has it that in the battle twenty years ago, the old man led a fearless team from the Su family and charged into the enemy army, killing countless enemies and eventually slaying their leader before retreating.

Judging from the lineup of the Immortality Gate this time, Su Yi estimated that the powerful members of the Immortality Gate who attacked twenty years ago shouldn't be much weaker either.

Even with the old man's strength back then, or even with his current cultivation level, it would still be impossible to achieve.

"At that time, I was prepared to sacrifice my life, only hoping to buy some time for Man City and allow some people to escape. But for some unknown reason, I suddenly felt like a different person, my power surged, and when I regained consciousness, I had already killed the sect leader of the Immortality Gate and learned that many of their strong warriors had been defeated," Old Man Su Yuntian said, looking at Su Yi in awe.

Su Yi was taken aback, staring at the old man. It took him a while to come back to his senses. Looking at the old man's expression, it didn't seem like he was joking.

"It has been twenty years, and I still don't know what happened back then."

Old Man Su Yuntian pondered for a long time, also not knowing what had happened in the past. This was a secret he had buried in his heart twenty years ago. Today, he finally spoke it out, and it made him feel much relieved.

"Phew..."

Taking a deep breath, the old man continued to speak to Su Yi, "Regardless, this time the Immortality Gate failed and both the Green Emperor and Zhuba Yi suffered heavy injuries. They shouldn't cause any trouble in the near future. The fate of Man City will rely on you young people from now on."

The old man was relieved. His grandson, Su Yi, was extraordinary and with time, he would surely become a powerful figure. By then, no one would dare to challenge Man City.

There is a young and talented descendant from the Liu family, Liu Ruoxi. With these people around, Man City has nothing to worry about and doesn't need to fear another attack from the Immortality Gate.

"Grandpa is still young and has a long way to go in his training."

Su Yi no longer thinks too much about it. This matter is strange and hard to understand. Maybe Man City really does have something special. After benefiting from the mysterious space this time, it shouldn't be difficult for Grandpa to enter the Yuan Emperor Realm in the future.
