"Tianyun…" Jiao Linghe walked towards Yi Tianyun with a slight hesitation, but she eventually came around and held him firmly in her arms. She was a crying mess right now as she never expected to see her son again.
Yi Tianyun himself was embarrassed by this turn of events, but he couldn't say that he wasn't touched by the motherly affection he received. But then again, he didn't really feel anything as he didn't have a strong emotional connection with his mother.
A moment later, Jiao Linghe let go of Yi Tianyun, and her expression wasn't as stiff as it was earlier. She wanted to shout because of how happy she was as she could see her son again, but she refrained from doing so as she realised that this wasn't the time. She also knew that Yi Tianyun wasn't ready for her yet.
"Tianyun, she is your mother!" Shi Xueyun said carefully as she saw Yi Tianyun barely showed any reaction. She was anxious that Yi Tianyun would break Jiao Linghe's heart by rejecting her or suddenly get mad as he was abandoned in his childhood.
"I understand if you found our encounter awkward. We haven't really met each other before. It would be too much for you." Jiao Linghe said as she sighed disappointedly. She knew that Yi Tianyun never met her before, so she realised that Yi Tianyun wouldn't be able to feel the emotional connection like her.
Immediately, Jiao Linghe turned her attention towards Heaven Fiend, who was struggling helplessly on the ground. It was clear that the end was close for this man as his body started to fall apart into sands. "This is your own karma! You still want me dead even after getting your hands on my Blood Drinking Grasses?" Jiao Linghe said coldly.
Heaven Fiend just stared at her with despair in his eyes. He never expected their situation would be reversed like this.
"Just kill me and get it over with!" Heaven Fiend said indifferently as he wouldn't ask for mercy. He was prepared to die every day, so he wasn't afraid of dying! He knew that he wouldn't show mercy to anyone, so he wouldn't expect anyone to show mercy to him either.
"Don't worry, I will, but it wouldn't be fast!" Jiao Linghe took out the Blood Drinking Grass and let a small drop of blood dripped into her hand. Heaven Fiend and Heaven Blood immediately trembled as they smell the strong metallic smells from the blood.
"What the hell are you trying to do?" Heaven Fiend shouted as he looked terrified.
"Why would you want to know?" Jiao Linghe said coldly before placing a drop of blood on Heaven Fiend's chest. A root suddenly emerged from the ground and punctured Heaven Fiend's body before slowly draining his blood. Jiao Linghe also did the same thing to Heaven Blood before they screamed in pain.
But it wasn't long before they were sucked dry. Yi Tianyun didn't say anything as this was the characteristic of Blood Drinking Grass. It had to absorb blood before it could grow, and it didn't matter whose blood it was.
After a while, a Blood Drinking Grass grew from the speck of blood that Jiao Linghe dropped on their body, and their Blood Essence was completely dried up, but they weren't dead just yet. Although they have run out of gas, it would take a while for them to finally succumb to their fate.
Jiao Linghe immediately plucked the Blood Drinking Grass from their chest and sealed them before they could absorb anyone else's blood.
"Let's go. We don't have anything else to do here." Jiao Linghe said to Yi Tianyun and Shi Xueyun, who nodded immediately and left with Jiao Linghe.
"Elder Sister, why would you come to a dangerous place like this? is it for those Blood Drinking Grasses?" Shi Xueyun asked curiously. "Does it have something to do with Yi Xingchen?" Shi Xueyun asked further.
"Just come with me for now. You will find out eventually." Jiao Linghe said as she glanced at Yi Tianyun before flying forward.
Shi Xueyun nodded and remained silent as Yi Tianyun never talked from the beginning. He kept thinking about what was on his mother's mind. Soon, they went from the forest to a somewhat safe location. Jiao Linghe directed them to a cave, and once Jiao Linghe removed the hidden Great Array that protected the place, they all got in.
Inside the cave, they all saw a Water Cristal Coffin, and inside lied a handsome man that surprised Shi Xueyun immediately. "Is that Yi Xingchen?" Shi Xueyun asked surprisedly.
Yi Tianyun was surprised after hearing Shi Xueyun's question. He didn't expect to see his own father inside a coffin like this. Furthermore, this man was supposed to be Sealing Heaven Divine Nation's number one genius, so what was with this sorry state he was in?
He immediately felt the aura around the coffin and realised that his father wasn't dead, but it was obvious that his Blood Essence has been drained.
"Why would his Blood Essence dry up like this? what happened?" Yi Tianyun asked Jiao Linghe as he observed Yi Xingchen's condition.
"I don't really know who sent those people, but your father and I were attacked! We successfully got away, but we found out that your father was poisoned not long after. It was Bloodthirsty Poison that will drain the target's Blood Essence, causing them to fall into a long-deprived sleep. I can only supplement him with a Blood Essence Medicinal Pill. I've been preserving his condition for more than ten years now. It happened just before we wanted to go back to Mortal World to find you. But as you can see, the situation doesn't allow us to do that." Jiao Linghe said with a saddened look on her face.
"You have to know that it wasn't our intention to abandon you. The situation never allowed us to do that!" Jiao Linghe said as she shed her tears as she looked over to Yi Tianyun. She couldn't drag her husband to Mortal World in this condition as the Blood Drinking Grass only grew properly around there and no medicine could help Yi Xinchen in the long run on Mortal World.
"I never expected the situation to turn out like this. Do you have any idea who the perpetrator might be? You may have suffered, but so am I!" Yi Tianyun said coldly, he could guess who had done such a thing, but he hoped that wasn't the case!

Yi Xingchen was in a deep sleep, but he was clearly uncomfortable judging from his expression.
"I can relate to this as I also have a Blood Essence deficit in my early years." Yi Tianyun said as he frowned while looking at his unconscious father.
"When you were little, you also have a Blood Essence problem?" Jiao Linghe was surprised to hear what Yi Tianyun said and thus looked over to Shi Xueyun to further confirm Yi Tianyun's word.
"Yeah, Yi Tianyun's Blood Essence was in a bad state in the past! It was very difficult for me to provide him the necessary Blood Medicine to help him recover. It wasn't until an expert come and help him sort it out that he began to grow strongly." Shi Xueyun said with a little bit of guilt on her face.
"A help from an expert?" Jiao Linghe asked curiously.
"Yes, isn't Elder Sister the one who sent the expert?" Shi Xueyun asked as she always thought that Jiao Linghe was the one who sent help for Yi Tianyun in the past.
"Why would you think I am the one who sent help? After I handed Yi Tianyun to you that day, I immediately left for Heaven World. Although we didn't want to stay at Sealing Heaven Divine Nation, we couldn't come back to Mortal World as the path has been blocked." Jiao Linghe said confusedly.
"When we know that Yi Xingchen had been poisoned, I couldn't find any solution to detoxify him, so I put him in this state to give me time to find a solution. We really want to go to Mortal World to get you, but we didn't have such a time in our hands. So, who is this Expert? Was it one of Sealing Heaven Divine Nation's experts?" She began to wonder.
Yi Tianyun felt awkward by the current situation as he basically lied to Shi Xueyun about the expert that helped him. He did it to prevent Shi Xueyun from asking further questions regarding why he could become so strong in such a short amount of time.
"I don't really know who he is, but he really unraveled everything! I felt like a completely different person after that!" Yi Tianyun said awkwardly. "But from the looks of it, it may be the same poison!" Yi Tianyun said solemnly.
"You were born in Sealing Heaven Divine Nation, but you weren't born under their influences. After you were born, a maid took you to clean you up while I was resting. Could it happen at that time?" Jiao Linghe began to wonder while her complexion started to change.
"If that was the case, who would do such a thing? Is it Sealing Heaven Divine Nation?" Yi Tianyun said coldly.
"It is possible! The First Elder of Sealing Heaven Divine Nation rejected me completely. He wasn't willing to let Yi Xingchen marry me by saying that I might dilute his Bloodline or something. He is your grandfather, actually, but I didn't expect him to be that cold. He was the one who told me to leave you in Mortal World as he disliked your presence too. Over the year, I have been looking for a variety of Spirit Medicine to supplement Yi Xingchen's Blood Essence, but it was tough to get one." Jiao Linghe said with a saddened look on her face.
She looked at Yi Xingchen, who was lying on the Crystal Coffin and her eyes became teary with sadness. However, she could find strength as he looked at Yi Tianyun.
Yi Tianyun walked towards Yi Xingchen and began to observe him closely. This was his father, and he had to say that his father was a handsome man, but now his hair was completely white, and his face was also pale, as if he didn't have any blood circulating around his body anymore. Yi Tianyun immediately used his Appraisal Eye to check Yi Xingchen's situation.
"Did you ever think of asking Sealing Heaven Divine Nation for help, Elder Sister? His father wouldn't want this kind of fate to befall his son, wouldn't he?" Shi Xueyun asked curiously as everything was so strange for her right now.
"Yi Xingchen said that he'd rather die than going back there. So, I want to respect his wishes and dared not to return there. His father was worried about him when Yi Xingchen told him that he would be marrying me, but he was mad at the fact that Yi Xingchen wouldn't listen to what he said. It was all because of their Bloodline, so I don't want to go back there, either." Jiao Linghe said solemnly.
Bloodline was extremely important, and some Bloodlines could only give birth to the same Bloodline on the firstborn, while the second born wouldn't inherit it completely. Sealing Heaven Divine Nation definitely didn't want to lose their Bloodline, so it wasn't like she didn't understand the First Elder's anger. It was hard to get the person that was suitable to pass on the Bloodline, and he didn't want Yi Xingchen to lose his opportunity!
Not everyone was suited to pass on the Bloodline. Otherwise, the Bloodline would be everywhere. For the greater good of the family, they wanted Yi Xingchen to leave Jiao Linghe. But they didn't expect Yi Xingchen to be stubborn as he ignored them completely and left with Jiao Linghe.
"Is Blood Drinking Grass one of the herbs you used in the remedy?" Yi Tianyun asked.
"Yes, Blood Drinking Grass is one of them, but it was very difficult to find it! Fortunately, after some time, I found a clue to find it, and that makes it a little bit easier to find it." Jiao Linghe said as her eyes were full of hope.
"Well, now you don't have to search for it anymore. Let's take a look at Sealing Heaven Divine Nation. They may have the cure!" Yi Tianyun said confidently.
"It won't work! They wouldn't want anything to do with us!" Jiao Linghe said worriedly.
"Well, that would be the case, but I suspect that the poison is made by Sealing Heaven Divine Nation from the beginning! I don't know whether my guess is right or not, for father's sake and myself, if they were really the one who poison us both, I will drag their lord in front of their nation and shove the same poison into his throat, so that he could feel what I feel in my childhood!" Yi Tianyun said coldly.
Jiao Linghe saw the terrifying look on her son's expression and look over to Shi Xueyun, but she noticed that Shi Xueyun didn't seem to be bothered at all.
"But it is still Sealing Heaven Divine Nation! They are formidable, and you might get killed!" Jiao Linghe said worriedly.
"Don't worry. They won't be able to do anything to me! But if I found out they were really the ones behind it all, I will eradicate them all! I don't care who they are as I always destroy my enemies to their root!" Yi Tianyun said coldly.
Jiao Linghe stared at her son with a slight worry, but she knew that the baby he left back then was already a man with a lot of responsibility on his shoulder.
