High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 691: Chapter 457: Crossing Two Worlds—I’m Su Mu, All Is Well, Don’t Worry!

Now they are no longer in the same world as Su Mu. He is a General Level leader, not just of a sub-War Zone, but of the entire Southern General War Zone.

Such a prominent figure could shake not only the Linjiang Base but even Shenjiang City and the entire Guangshen Province with just a stomp of his foot.

Yet, this important figure came merely to pick up Su Mu’s in-laws.

"The moment I first saw him, I knew this kid Su Mu would surely be extraordinary in the future. Turns out I wasn’t wrong!"

Amidst the roar, the fighter jet landed in the Southern War Zone.

"Grandpa, Grandma!"

"Oh, my dear granddaughter, Xiaoyue, did you miss Grandpa?"

"Yes, Xiaoyue missed Grandpa and Grandma so much."

Jiang Cheng let out a hearty laugh, not just from the joy of seeing his granddaughter Xiaoyue, but also because Xiaoyue was tickling him with her braided hair.

After the joy of the family reunion, Li Xiurou’s eyes showed worry. She discreetly tugged at Jiang Cheng’s sleeve, prompting him to speak, "Xiaoyue, we... Grandma and I plan to visit your mother. Xiaoyue, why don’t you go play first?"

"Grandpa, Grandma, let me take you there."

Mu Feng, sensing the looks from the elderly, immediately guessed something. She crouched down, whispering in Xiaoyue’s ear, "Xiaoyue, shall we go play outside for a bit?"

"Grandpa and Grandma probably want to say something privately to Sister Jiang."

Seeing Mu Feng lead Xiaoyue away, the joy on the elderly couple’s faces faded. They walked towards the hospital. In front of a specially constructed building by the War Zone, heavily armed soldiers patrolled around the clock.

"Can we have some time alone with Miaomiao?"

"Of course, you are Su Mu’s family."

Su Mu’s family?

The elderly couple, puzzled, entered the ward. Chen Xiurou closed the door gently behind them, and soon sobs were heard from within the room.

After a while, the elderly couple sought out the director in charge of treatment, and the three of them talked all afternoon.

The long night passed in silence until the next day, when the elderly couple found Hong Lie and expressed their thoughts, "We’ve thought about it. We want to take Miaomiao home. Actually, Miaomiao fell into a coma once when she was a child.

We took care of her back home. Miaomiao was born in East Village and grew up there, so we thought taking her back to the village for a while might be better for her..."

As she spoke, Chen Xiurou’s voice choked up, and Hong Lie’s expression turned serious instantly. This was not a trivial matter and not something he could decide.

"Old Jiang, give me some time. I need to report this to the superiors."

"Alright."

That day, the top brass of the Southern War Zone gathered for an emergency meeting. The convened leaders were anxious, thinking there might be news about Su Mu or a major move from the Alien Race.

Immediately after the meeting, the entire hospital at the Southern War Zone General War Zone mobilized, with a large amount of medical resources and personnel being redirected to East Village near Linjiang Base.

In three days, an area behind the Jiang Family courtyard at East Village was cleared, and a special hospital and temporary military base rose from the ground.

On the fourth morning, two elders from the Southern War Zone arrived at East Village with a squadron of fighter jets.

Within the mountain was a wild pond where Su Mu previously took his daughter Xiaoyue for fishing. Today, Xiaoyue sneaked out to the wild pond.

At a certain moment, Xiaoyue suddenly showed delight, sensing an unusual movement from Cold Moon in her Space Ring.

Could it be that Dad is back?

Xiaoyue stood up and looked around quickly, soon spotting a figure.

But Xiaoyue felt some disappointment, as the person was not her dad.

"Dao Yi greets young mistress."

A figure shrouded in a black robe knelt on one knee, followed by a peculiar shadow lacking any facial features.

During this period, Dao Yi could not directly enter the War Zone to meet Xiaoyue, but today he finally found a chance to meet the young mistress.

Xiaoyue seemed not to hear Dao Yi’s words; her gaze landed on the shadow. She trembled all over, unable to look away, feeling the figure was intimately familiar. "Are you Dad? No, who are you?"

The next moment.

A spiritual light flashed in Xiaoyue’s hand, and Cold Moon appeared in her hand.

Clang!

The uncontrolled blade of Cold Moon unsheathed itself, and a Silver Radiance emerged from the blade, sharply piercing towards the eyebrow of the shadowy figure’s figure.

In an instant.

The shadow fluctuated violently, and then its faceless expression began to coalesce into facial features, revealing a face Xiaoyue knew all too well—it was her Dad, Su Mu.

"Dad, are you really Dad?!" Xiaoyue was overwhelmed with emotion.

Dao Yi watched this scene with fervor and respect. Since the battle where his master reversed Overlord Blade Martial Saint, Fire Shadow had become dormant, turning into a shadow with only the instinct for battle.

Unexpectedly, after meeting the young mistress today, Fire Shadow reappeared.

The implication couldn’t be clearer—his master was alive, assuredly alive. At this moment, Dao Yi’s fervor for Su Mu reached an unprecedented height.

Could all of this have been part of the master’s plan?

Did the master foresee the possibility of a change in this battle and leave a trace of consciousness in the Long Saber for the young mistress, anticipating this meeting with Fire Shadow?

"Dad, Xiaoyue missed you so much!"

Xiaoyue threw herself into his arms, Fire Shadow’s hollow eyes slowly flickered with two points of silver, becoming deep. He then took a deep breath, placing a hand on Xiaoyue’s head, ruffling her hair into a mess.

"Xiaoyue, don’t cry."

Su Mu gently wiped away the tears from his daughter’s eyes.

"Welcome, Master."

"Dao Yi, you’ve done well. You may leave now."

"Yes, Master!"

The familiar tone, the undeniable authority—this was undoubtedly his master, Dao Yi thought, respectfully turning to leave.

"Be good, Xiaoyue, Dad’s alright... I’m just on a secret mission right now, and I’ll be back soon."

"Currently, this body is an avatar Dad cultivated, but because of some distance, it can’t last long..."

"How is Miaomiao during this time, is everything okay?"

Reunited after being apart across two realms, the joy of seeing his daughter made Su Mu somewhat lose control of his emotions, oblivious to the fact that he was directly referring to Miaomiao by name in his daughter’s presence.

Sitting by the wild pond, his daughter nestled her head on Su Mu’s shoulder, recounting all that had happened during this time.

After hearing everything, Su Mu immediately understood that the Military Department was blocking the news and simultaneously grasped its intent.

Focusing on two things at once, just before this consciousness was exhausted, another of Su Mu’s Spiritual Powers lingered quietly by Miaomiao’s side without alerting anyone.

Soon, a transmission echoed in the ears of the two elderly commanders who had arrived in the village.

"Please convey on my behalf, I am Su Mu, everything is fine now, do not worry, I will return soon..."

After hearing the transmission, the two first froze in place, then felt as if the clouds had parted to reveal the clear sky!

They did not doubt the owner of the transmission; they were Titled individuals, and someone being able to transmit a message without alerting anyone in the War Zone spoke of indisputable skill.

This level of strength could not be falsified!

Instantly, their eyes gleamed with vigor. During this period, they had yet to find any trace of Su Mu, and it was like a dark cloud loomed over the entire Military Department.

And the pressure grew with each passing day!

Finally, they received good news!

At this moment, their faces broke into uncontrollable joy, laughing heartily in relief.

Inside the temporary base, soldiers unaware of the inside story all cast puzzled glances.

The two elders from the Southern War Zone offered no explanations, but one immediately issued an order.

"Now, connect me to the War Zone Command. I have urgent military information to report!"
