If Heaven hadn't given birth to me, I would be arrogant.

Now that Zongze knows all this, he is single-minded and has begun preparing to travel to the outer continent of Shengyan.

However, Zong Ze eventually encountered some trouble in dealing with Han Li's problems.

The trouble didn't come from anyone else, but from his mother, Princess Yu Rou.

“Mother, I will do whatever you ask of me, but please don’t pressure me on this matter. As an adult, I believe I have the right to choose my own happiness!”

At the Zong residence, Zong Ze was rubbing his chin, facing his mother, while the father and son, Frote, looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Not bad, Xiao Ze!"

Yu Rou smiled and looked at the Flot father and son: "Uncle Flot, look at this kid, he's really grown up now. This is the first time I've ever seen him with such aristocratic manners. Tsk tsk, his etiquette is just too perfect!"

"Cough cough!"

Old Freud coughed twice: "Well, Yu Rou, I think you're being a bit too hasty. Right now, Xiao Ze is taking Yu Xi to the Sacred Language Outer Continent, and even if Han Li wanted to come along, it's unlikely!"

"Not bad!"

Little Flort picked up where his father left off, saying, "First, even though Hanli has been cultivating very hard, she's only a beginner Martial Saint now, which doesn't meet the requirements to go to the Sacred Language Outer Continent. Second, she is, after all, Her Majesty the Empress of the Empire. If she just leaves like that, what will happen to the Empire?"

"But!"

Hearing the words of the two Freuds, one old and one young, Yu Rou knew perfectly well that what they said made a lot of sense.

“I’ve already promised Hanli. Besides, Xiaoze is leaving this time. Although he said he would come back, how long will it take? Father and Mother said the same thing when they left. So many years have passed, and we haven’t heard from them at all, let alone come back!”

"Mother!"

Zong Ze said helplessly, "I am not the same as my grandparents. This time I am going to the outer continent of Shengyan to build my own power. With that team, I will soon be able to gain a foothold in the outer continent of Shengyan. At that time, not only Hanli, but even you and I will come to pick me up!"

But this time, I really can't take Hanli and you with me when I go to the outer lands of the Holy Word, because I can't be distracted by you, and besides, I still need to find out where Grandpa and Grandma are!

Previously, I had learned of my grandfather's whereabouts from the people of the Sirius Gang. When I go to the Sacred Word Continent this time, I will inquire about my grandfather's whereabouts as soon as possible. He is now the disciple of the second elder of the Sirius Gang, so he should be easy to find!

Moreover, because I killed members of the Sky Wolf Gang, this time I took the route of Lord Fei of the Dragon Soaring Empire to the Sacred Word Outer Continent. That route leads to the sphere of influence of the Nine Dragon Nest, and the Nine Dragon Nest and the Sky Wolf Gang are mortal enemies, so..."

"I understand all of this, but!"

Yu Rou interrupted Zong Ze's story: "But if you don't come back, how am I supposed to live by myself? Your father abandoned me a long time ago, and now you're going to abandon me too. How can I be at ease?"

"Mother!"

Zong Ze rubbed his chin: "You know why Father left us back then, wasn't it for the sake of the Rune Empire?"

Now, I absolutely cannot take Hanli away, because she is Her Majesty the Queen of Rune, and I am no longer here. She needs someone to help her. Grandpa Flot and the others are men after all, and it is not appropriate for them to stay by her side. Therefore, the Rune Empire needs you!

You don't want the Rune Empire, which my father protected with his life, to just disappear like this, do you? How will you face my father then?

Zongze originally didn't want to say this, since it could easily evoke Yu Rou's painful memories.

But now, facing Yu Rou's insistence that he take her and Han Li to the Sacred Language Outer Continent, Zong Ze had no choice but to resort to this trump card.

To be fair, Zong Ze wasn't talking nonsense; his trip to the outer continent of Shengyan did indeed carry some risks.

First of all, in principle, as a member of the Rune Empire, Zong should have traveled to the Sacred Word Outer Continent through the Sirius Gang, acting as a guardian of the Rune Empire.

However, the entire Sirius Gang, from its leader to his son and two apprentices, died at the hands of Zong Ze. Moreover, according to that Master Fei, both Cole and Cordimo's two apprentices seemed to be candidates for the future leader of the Sirius Gang.

Although Codimo and his two companions deserved to die, even the Sirius Gang couldn't say anything, since the Sirius Gang had violated the rules set by the Supreme Council of the Holy Word Outer Continent.

However, you can't see into someone's heart. Once the Sirius Gang finds out that Codimo and the others died at his hands, Zong Ze can easily guess that the Sirius Gang will definitely seek revenge!

Otherwise, given Zong Ze's strength, the best option would be to directly join the Tianlang Gang and strive to become its leader with his unparalleled talent. This would be far faster than building his own power base.

Secondly, Zong Ze still possesses the identity of a demon, especially since he has already become a master of the Divine Sect Realm on the Holy Word Continent. This is definitely a double-edged sword. While he will be amazed by the Supreme Council of the Holy Word Outer Continent, he is also very likely to attract the suspicion of the Western Gods.

Therefore, under no circumstances would Zongze take his mother to the outer lands of the Holy Word.

As for Han Zhixuan, she is different. First of all, Zhixuan is already a Martial Venerable level expert. In particular, she is a complete bloodline of the Han clan, so her cultivation progress is definitely rapid.

However, she was not as abnormal as Zong Ze in cultivating the Nature Heart Sutra, who could ignore the seal of the Sacred Word Continent and advance at will. If she wanted to reach a higher realm, she could only choose to enter the Sacred Word Outer Continent.

Besides, although the one million Han Clan Martial Venerable-level knights are nominally under her management, she is not a Han Clan member, and something might happen in the future. However, if she were to manage them as the future patriarch of the Han Clan, she believed that both Han Feng and any member of the knights would have more faith in Han Zhixuan.

Fortunately, Yu Rou is also a smart woman. As a member of the Korean ethnic group, although she doesn't know a lot, she understands the reasons behind it. The main reason she wants to stay by her son's side is because she is worried about him.

Hearing her son bring up her father's last wish, Yu Rou realized that all her efforts had been in vain. After thinking for a while, Yu Rou finally nodded and agreed to Zong Ze's request!

"Okay, I can agree to that, but I need to make three conditions for you!"

Yu Rou looked at Zong Ze with an unyielding gaze: "First, once you arrive in the outer continent of Shengyan, no matter what happens, you must prioritize your own safety!"
