Chapter 3, Separation

"Zong Ling, Zong Ling." The lion's loud voice called out eagerly from afar

"Wow—don't go, don't go, don't go," the younger brother Qing Shi cried out.

Hmm. Xue Ying nodded, his eyes reddened, and tears streamed down his face

Mo Yangyu and Dong Bo Lie were taken aback and looked towards Zong Ling

Beside the wooden house, there was also a Frostwing Warhorse foal. Zong Ling and Tong San immediately mounted their horses and swiftly made their way to the castle

Zong Ling shuddered slightly and shook his head gently: "The Mo Yang family has already issued a decree; no one can save them, unless one becomes a legendary extraordinary being, then the Mo Yang family might release Dong Bo and the other two."

With a call, the four-winged vulture flapped its wings and immediately soared into the sky

Even within the family, his status is quite high

"Tell me, how can it be done? There must be a way." Xue Ying said anxiously

I am a noble, and I am protected by the laws of the Empire! You cannot violate the laws of the Empire to take us away. Although you are powerful, if you go against the laws of the Empire... you will only meet death. " Mo Yangyu stared at her brother.

The silver-armored man and the gray-robed youth stood outside the castle, while the Dongbo couple was also bidding farewell to their sons

... ...

The drawbridge of the Snowstone Castle is lowered

Rest assured. Zong Ling nodded, "Leave it to me."

Moyang Yu, Dongbo Lie, and the Lionman all changed their expressions drastically

"Brother, it has been so many years." Mo Yangyu smiled, "I am truly happy to see you again. You have entered the Starry Realm and become a Silver Moon Mage, haven't you?"

"Before I leave, I must trouble both of you." Mo Yangyu smiled and said, "Tong San has a rough temperament and cannot manage the entire territory well, so it will be up to you, Zong Ling, to take care of the territory. You will also need to guide the two children, Xue Ying and the other one."

He cannot forget

"Your father and I have been taken away, and the treasures on us will also be searched for." Mo Yangyu gently tapped her finger on Xue Ying's finger, extracting a drop of blood. Mo Yangyu silently recited a spell, and soon a drop of blood formed a magical symbol that was imprinted on the pendant. Xue Ying immediately felt his spirit connect with the interior of the pendant

"Xue Ying, this pendant is a storage treasure, containing a storage space, extremely precious and rare. Its value is equivalent to the entire Xue Ying territory." Mo Yangyu took the pendant from around her neck and said, "From today onwards, it belongs to you. You must keep it a secret; aside from your Uncle Tong and your clan uncle, do not tell a third person! Not even your younger brother, as he is still a child and tends to speak without thinking, which might lead to exposure." "From today onwards, it belongs to you. You must keep it a secret; aside from your Uncle Tong and your clan uncle, do not tell a third person! Not even your younger brother, as he is still a child and tends to speak without thinking, which might lead to exposure."

Dong Bolie took out a golden book from his bosom

"Mother, you take it with you," said the Snow Eagle.

They cannot be saved, no one can save them. The rules of the Mo Yang family are strict, and it is useless for anyone to intercede.

"Stop thinking about these things and live your life well, do you understand? As long as you two brothers are doing well, your father and I will be very happy," said Mo Yangyu. To save them? The regulations of the Mo Yang family are extremely strict; to allow the Mo Yang family to violate their rules and release them would likely require an extraordinary being. The thought of their own son becoming an extraordinary being is something they wouldn't even dare to imagine.

Go

The master's family has finally caught up, and they have brought an edict. The Lion Copper Three was almost in tears, saying, "Among us, you are the smartest; quickly think of a way out."

I swear

"With one's own efforts to become a Silver Moon Mage, one is already among the top three in the younger generation of the family, right?" Mo Yangyu said enviously, "Once you become a Grand Mage, that would be truly remarkable."

Dong Bolie and Mo Yangyu, the couple, were waiting in the hall with their two children, Xue Ying and Qing Shi. Soon, two figures rushed in.

"Um, it is the master who asked me to find you." Tong Sandao

The call of the snow eagle echoes in the silent night sky

"He has left," the young man in the gray robe gently shook his head

Dong Bo Xue Ying picked up his younger brother: "Shitou, don't cry, don't cry. Father and the others just went out for a bit; they will be back soon. I promise you, brother."

"A century of confinement? A century of hard labor? That's far too long, far too long." The burly lion-man beside him grew anxious, "The average human lifespan is only about a hundred years. Even if one reaches the Stellar level, their lifespan is just over a hundred years. They are already this old; if they are confined for another century and subjected to hard labor for another century... isn't that just confinement until death and hard labor until death?"

On an unnamed mountain in the Snow Eagle Range, there stands a wooden cabin

Mountain road vibrations

The young man in the gray robe extended his right hand, from which a golden scroll appeared out of thin air. As he unfurled the scroll, a mysterious power emanated, and Xue Ying, holding his younger brother, also sensed this force, feeling an otherworldly mystery that involuntarily inspired a sense of reverence.

Knock knock knock

... ...

The snow eagle also wishes to cry

"Once you obtain the Black Iron Order from Longshan Tower, I will inform you of the detailed circumstances of this matter, and you will naturally know how to proceed with the rescue," said Zong Ling beside him.

Moyang Yu covered her mouth, unable to hold back her tears, while Dongbo Lie trembled with emotion. The two of them climbed onto the back of the four-winged vulture.

Due to having six arms, he usually wraps himself in a black robe, not wanting people to constantly stare at his six arms

Then, then... is there really no way out?" Tong San is heartbroken

... ...

Holding his younger brother's hand, Xue Ying was also in tears, shouting loudly: "Father, Mother, I, Dongbo Xueying, swear... I will definitely bring you back! Our family will surely be reunited, it will happen!"

The entire book is made entirely of gold foil, as gold can endure for long ages without deterioration; only the most precious books are made with gold.

Let's go outside and wait for your uncle Zong and Uncle Tong San to arrive

Dong Bolie and Mo Yangyu exchanged a glance, feeling a sense of relief

The younger brother, Qingshi, curled up in his elder brother's embrace; he was no longer sad, but he felt a sense of fear. He feared Zong Ling and Tong San

"In the family, there has yet to be a title of Grand Mage; how difficult it is to attain a title level," the young man in the gray robe lamented

A man with long silver hair, clad in a black robe that enveloped his body, revealed a serpent tail nearly two meters long and as thick as a human thigh. This unmistakable serpent tail indicated his identity—he was indeed a serpent man of the beastman tribe. Moreover, his face resembled that of a human, clearly marking him as a member of the royal lineage of the serpent men, the six-armed serpent demon.

"You have violated the family regulations. You must understand that our family has relied on these regulations for over a thousand years!" said the young man in the gray robe. "Without rules, even the most prosperous family will ultimately decline. Our family has experienced hardship, but now we are thriving again, thanks to the family rules. Those who violate these rules must accept the consequences"

This is a martial arts manual left by an extraordinary being. Dong Bo Lie said with a smile, "The fundamentals I taught you earlier are also the foundation of this manual! Those ancient noble families typically possess three or four manuals left by extraordinary beings. Our family has only this one, and it is solely a martial arts manual. That is why I have been teaching you martial arts since you were young. You must study it diligently and remember not to disclose it to anyone other than your clan uncle and Uncle Tong San... Haha, they were present when this manual was originally obtained. You must study it diligently and remember not to disclose it to anyone other than your clan uncle and Uncle Tong San... Haha, they were present when this manual was originally obtained.

"There is no way, did A Yu send you here?" asked Zong Ling

This Silver Moon Mage appears formidable, capable of easily annihilating an army, yet in the presence of a title... it is likely that even spells cannot be cast.

"Good." The young man in the gray robe nodded

Suddenly, the atmosphere became tense, and beside them, Dong Bo Lie, the muscular lion man, and Xue Ying, who was holding his younger brother, were all extremely anxious

Wow, wow... Snow Eagle held his younger brother's hand, but suddenly the younger brother began to cry loudly.

"Please tell me your choice," said the young man in the gray robe

Wuwu, wuwu... The younger brother, Qingshi, in my arms is crying. Qingshi is only two years old and does not quite understand, but he can sense the atmosphere around him

Imperial decree, the edict of the Moyang clan, the family descendant Moyang Yu, sentenced to a hundred years of confinement! Baron Dongbolie, sentenced to a hundred years of hard labor! Executor, Moyang Chen! The voice of the young man in the gray robe echoed throughout the castle

Save

In his darkest and most painful days, that young girl played with him, year after year. Even when she ultimately escaped from the Moyang family, he followed her with unwavering loyalty, embarking on countless adventures and facing numerous life-and-death situations. In his heart... his master was even more important than his own life

Title Level

Let us give this child a glimmer of hope, said Zong Ling

The wooden door is open

Once a storage artifact is exposed, it is very easy to be seized

"No, Uncle, you are the executor. Please save my parents, save them." The snow eagle shouted while holding his younger brother.

The Lionman, known as 'Copper Three', was anxiously riding a Frostwind Warsteed. The Frostwind Warsteed was exceptionally fast, and this time he was not wearing armor. He arrived at this mountaintop from the Snowstone Castle in just the time it takes to brew a cup of tea

I swear, I will definitely save you! No one can stop me!

"Copper Three, what is the matter?" Zong Ling inquired

We are leaving. Mo Yangyu gritted her teeth and walked towards the young man in the gray robe with her husband.

"The most important treasures in the castle have all been placed inside. By the way, there is another treasure with your father." Mo Yangyu looked at her husband beside her

The territory is there, and it cannot be seized

"Let us go, we must see them one last time." Zong Ling's fists were clenched tightly beneath his black robe, his sharp nails digging into his palms. Both Dong Bo and A Yu were companions with whom he had shared numerous life-and-death experiences; how could he not feel anxious, sorrowful, and indignant at this moment? Yet, he found himself powerless. Coupled with his inherent disposition to refrain from displaying emotions, he remained almost perpetually calm.

Inside the Snowstone Castle

"Live well, live well." Mo Yangyu silently recited, vowing to pray for her two children for the rest of her life, hoping for their safety

"Xue Ying, remember that all matters concerning the entire territory will be entrusted to your uncle. You will officially take over when you turn eighteen." Mo Yangyu looked at her son, worried that without assistance, the two children would soon be devoured by some outsiders.

The Dongbo couple is giving instructions to their son, Xueying

On the back of the vulture, Dong Bolie and Mo Yangyu turned their heads to look below, where at the entrance of the castle stood two children, one large and one small, so frail that Dong Bolie and his wife felt their hearts tighten. How could they bear to part with their own children

"Xueying, take good care of your younger brother, do you understand?" Moyangyu instructed.

After all, he is only a two-year-old child, and he is somewhat afraid of Tong San, who has a lion's head, and Zong Ling, who has a snake's tail

Hmm. The young man in the gray robe nodded.

But he was more anxious; he was already 8 years old and very sensible. His father and mother were to be imprisoned for a hundred years of hard labor, which truly meant punishment until the day of death! His own father and mother, his most important relatives!

... ...

Moyang Yu and Dongbo Lie exchanged a glance.

As they walked, they could not help but look back

Not only he, but also the Dongbo Lie couple never imagined that their son could save them. It is not that they despised their own child, but rather that they feared the extraordinary life that was required for salvation, and that extraordinary life was nothing more than a legend.

Late at night

The sound of 'uncle' and the sight of the book caused the young man in the gray robe to tremble.

Hmm. As Xue Ying took the golden book, he immediately felt a strange wave emanating from it, and with a thought, he stored it in the storage pendant.

The young man in the gray robe shook his head, "You really don't give up until the last moment, do you? Stop looking; I have indeed brought an edict this time."

"Don't go, don't go." Younger brother Qingshi is crying

How to save him? As an older brother, he also wants to save him, but the clan rules are merciless. In the Mu Yang family, no one can intercede against the clan rules; only an extraordinary life can save him

"Save my parents, save my parents." Tears welled up in Xue Ying's eyes, "Uncle, you must have a way, a way to help them."

"Dongbo, Ayu." Zongling wanted to say something, but could not bring herself to speak.

This young man in the gray robe is none other than the Silver Moon Mage

This signifies that one possesses a unique title throughout the entire Longshan Empire! This is an absolutely formidable existence worthy of respect, having reached the pinnacle of humanity! Beyond this lies the realm of extraordinary life

"Mother, please tell me, where exactly is the Mo Yang family from, and how can I save you all?" Xue Ying could not help but ask anxiously

"Xueying, don't cry, and you too, Shitou." Moyang Yu walked over, crouched down, and embraced her two sons. She turned to the man in the gray robe and said, "Please give Dongbo and me a little time, alright?"

Mo Yangyu suddenly couldn't help but crouch down to embrace her two sons, kissing them. Dong Bo Lie silently stood by, his eyes also glistening with tears

Dong Bo Lie nodded in agreement. Xue Ying was already eight years old and had been intelligent since childhood. It was unlikely that he would forget this incident. Perhaps giving him a goal would be better. Dong Bo Lie immediately said: "Yes, once you obtain the Black Iron Order from Longshan Tower, your sect uncle will tell you everything"

Inside the pendant, there are some materials and gold coins, as well as scrolls

Nobility

Hmm. The snow eagle is holding its younger brother

Save

Xue Ying, holding his younger brother, felt both nervous and surprised. Is this gray-robed young man the brother of their mother

The Mage's Stellar Realm also consists of three major levels: Meteor, Silver Moon, and Title.

It is precisely Tong San and Zong Ling

The Black Iron Order of Longshan Tower? The Snow Eagle silently remembered it

The vulture swiftly flew away into the distance, rapidly diminishing in size against the night sky.

Xueying held her younger brother's hand and looked up.
