Chapter 473 - 457: The Great Migration (2/3)
Zhou Heng didn’t give face to anyone, at his level, he no longer needed to give face to anyone.
He wasn’t a Saint; he had his preferences and not just anyone could hitch a ride on this easy journey.
Zhao Duotian, as the head of the Zhao Family, had his inescapable responsibilities. Therefore, he followed the Zhao Family to the Dragon River Continent. The Zhao Family only had him, a Half-Step Immortal, and going to an entirely foreign land, they desperately needed his care.
Accompanying him, besides all the Zhao Family members, were Zhou Heng’s parents.
According to Zhou Heng’s original intention, he wanted his parents to stay with him until he obtained the Star Core and broke through to become an Immortal, after which he could take his parents directly into the Immortal Realm! However, Zhou Dinghai and his wife insisted on going with the Zhao Family, and no amount of persuasion from Zhou Heng could change their minds.
Zhou Heng couldn’t force them, so he reluctantly let them go. After all, who knew what the Immortal Realm was like; it might be even more perilous and cruel than the Mortal Realm.
He decided to wait until he was firmly established in the Immortal Realm before returning to the Mortal Realm to bring his elderly parents over. The Dragon River Continent should have a Realm Gate, not as thoroughly ravaged as the Xuanqian Star.
An Luochen and Lin Jianchen made the same choice, not crowding around Zhou Heng to join in the excitement. Wang Ke actually wanted to follow Zhou Heng but was dragged away by Helian Dong—why bother disturbing the young couple?
Helian Dong had also arrived not long before and was increasingly satisfied with Zhou Heng, his "son-in-law." Seeing Wang Ke, he was very excited and promptly offered to teach on behalf of Zhou Heng.
After asking around, Zhou Heng learned that the Helian Family’s bloodline was indeed very similar to Little Foodie’s, although Little Foodie’s bloodline was evidently much purer, making Helian Dong very tempted to properly mentor someone with a close bloodline.
