Chapter 2537: Chapter 2537: Dao Ji’s Identity

"One is the Main God of the Guardian God, the other is the Kunpeng Great Saint Emperor..." Dao Ji paused for a moment, then said softly, "As for the third one, it’s better if you don’t know!"

Su Yang felt puzzled. Is this third person really that mysterious? Why doesn’t Dao Ji reveal this person’s identity?

Su Yang could accept the first two names; after all, they were beings as renowned as Dao Ji. But this third person, who could they possibly be?

However, the thing that shocked Su Yang the most was the power of Dao Ji and the others. In such a short time, they had slaughtered five thousand Saint Emperors. What kind of unbelievable power was this?

"Those were all Saint Emperors..." Su Yang couldn’t help but say, "Did you really manage to kill five thousand Saint Emperors in such a short time?"

"You don’t believe it?" Dao Ji retorted.

"No, it’s just... I’m surprised..." Su Yang said, "We are also in the realm of the Great Saint Emperor, but considering our strength, one of us might take on a hundred Saint Emperors and perhaps succeed. Yet, killing a hundred Saint Emperors is impossible, let alone in such a short time. And, there might be Great Saint Emperors included, right?"

Dao Ji didn’t respond to Su Yang but merely glanced at the Jade Pendant in Su Yang’s hand and said, "Let me ask you first, how did you acquire this Jade Pendant?"

Su Yang originally wanted to revert to his usual self, but unsure of Dao Ji’s nature, he held back.

"I got this Jade Pendant from a planet," Su Yang said while carefully observing Dao Ji’s expression, "It’s the planet protected by that Qing Guang!"

"You... You went to that planet?" Dao Ji looked wide-eyed, full of disbelief.

"Yes, I entered." Su Yang nodded, equally surprised by Dao Ji’s shock regarding this matter.

"Makes sense!" Dao Ji nodded slowly, "If you hadn’t entered that planet, how could you have acquired this Jade Pendant?"

"Senior knows this Jade Pendant?" Su Yang asked curiously.

"Know it? More than that..." Dao Ji let out a bitter smile, reached into the Void, and astonishingly produced another Jade Pendant identical to the one in Su Yang’s hand. At its appearance, Su Yang felt his Jade Pendant tremble.

Without a doubt, this Jade Pendant could sense Su Yang’s Jade Pendant!

Su Yang stared, incredulous, at Dao Ji, tremblingly asking, "So... So you are the bodyguard of the Holy Daughter!?"

Dao Ji nodded slowly, "Yes, it seems my master mentioned these things to you. I am indeed the Holy Daughter’s bodyguard. Back then, my master instructed me to protect the Holy Daughter and gave me this Jade Pendant. My master also mentioned that someday someone with the same Jade Pendant would come to find me. I just never imagined it would take so many years before finding you!"

Su Yang was overwhelmed to the extreme. How could he have foreseen that Dao Ji was the Holy Daughter’s bodyguard back then? Knowing this earlier, he should have sought out Dao Ji immediately, avoiding wasting so much time outside.

However, since Dao Ji was the protector of his mother, many of Su Yang’s burning questions could finally be asked.

"What... What did you do after leaving that planet? Why are you here alone?" Su Yang quickly questioned, eager to understand what had happened to his mother back then.

"What did we do?" Dao Ji thought carefully, then shook his head in pain, "Too many things occurred, but later the Holy Daughter died, and I became disheartened, choosing to hide away here, never to leave again!"

"What!?" Su Yang’s eyes widened in shock, exclaiming, "The Holy Daughter died? Is it true?"

The Holy Daughter was Su Yang’s mother. If Dao Ji’s words were true, then they meant Su Yang’s mother had passed away. How could Su Yang accept such a thing?

"It’s true!" Dao Ji nodded slowly, "Our master initially sent us out to escort an important item. However, the Holy Daughter couldn’t find a suitable place to settle this item, instead confronting the Guardian God. To protect the Human Clan, the Holy Daughter battled the Guardian God countless times, eventually storming into the Guardian Land amid countless Guardian Gods, sealing off the Guardian Land’s path, preventing the Guardian God from seeking assistance from other Great World’s Guardian Gods. But because of this battle, the Holy Daughter was severely injured and ultimately fell."

Su Yang was stunned. Dao Ji’s account was completely different from what he knew. According to Dao Ji, the Holy Daughter perished after the fight in the Guardian Land. However, Su Yang’s information was that the Holy Daughter sealed the passageway in the Guardian Land, took some things from there, and came to the Nine Realms.

In the Nine Realms, she married Su Zhan, gave birth to Black Widow and Su Yang, and was discovered by the Red Leaf God, forcing her to leave.

Later, the Holy Daughter imprisoned the Red Leaf God, entering the Land of Chaos herself. She even laid numerous back-up plans inside the Land of Chaos to deal with the Guardian God.

Yet, why was Dao Ji unaware of these circumstances?

Could it be that his mother did not inform Dao Ji after leaving the Guardian Land? But Dao Ji was her bodyguard; why didn’t she tell him?

In fact, according to Su Yang’s information, his mother infiltrated the Guardian Land alone back then. But why did she undertake this task alone? Dao Ji was her bodyguard; why did he not accompany her into the Guardian Land?

Thinking this, Su Yang suddenly felt a shock. His mother didn’t involve Dao Ji and even feigned death in the Guardian Land. What was the reasoning behind this? She didn’t even tell her bodyguard about this, but why? Did she perhaps not trust even her bodyguard?

If his mother didn’t trust Dao Ji, then wouldn’t that mean Su Yang should trust him even less?

This realization made Su Yang break into cold sweat.

Truly, upon seeing Dao Ji and witnessing his forceful actions, Su Yang originally felt excited. With Dao Ji’s strength, perhaps the tide of this battle could be turned, offering more hope for the Human Clan.

However, now Su Yang was filled with alarm. Dao Ji is not as straightforward as he appears. Not even his mother trusted him, so Su Yang must remain wary of him!

"I never imagined the Holy Daughter actually perished in battle!" Su Yang sighed helplessly, "When I entered that planet, Immortal Master Xuan Yi told me that if I could find the Holy Daughter, I should bring her back to that planet. But now, this task seems impossible to achieve!"
