"Jade pendant? What jade pendant? Let me see. "
After hearing that Xing Jue had a special jade pendant, Nangong Shuiyue's expression changed greatly. With a wave of her sleeve, the surrounding space started to emit waves of ripples. At that moment, Xing Jue's Spatial Shackles were dissolved, allowing him to regain his freedom.
At the same time, the Nangong Family's elders that were bound by the Spirit Formation ropes were also released. Such a powerful technique was indeed a bit terrifying.
"If you want to see my jade pendant, then release them first."
However, after his body regained its freedom, Xing Jue was not the slightest bit nervous. Instead, he moved his body a bit, then turned his gaze to the Grand Elder and the others that were bound by the Spatial Shackles.
"Hmph. Trying to haggle with me? You still don't have the ability to do so."
"Lock up everyone in Yufeng Pavilion!" After hearing Xing Jue's words, Nangong Shuiyue suddenly became furious. She pointed at the Nangong Family and shouted.
"Yes."
After hearing her words, the Nangong Family's members responded in unison. From this, it could be seen that Nangong Shuiyue's position in the Nangong Family was definitely above that of the Palace Master.
After hearing Nangong Shuiyue's words, Xing Jue also became nervous. However, at that moment, Xing Jue suddenly felt his vision blur. It was so blurry that he was unable to open his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he was astonished to discover that he had arrived in an exquisite pavilion. Nangong Shuiyue was standing not far from him, staring at him with a sharp gaze.
At that moment, Nangong Shuiyue slowly opened her right hand and coldly said to Xing Jue, "Brat, show me your jade pendant."
"I've said it before. If you want to see my jade pendant, you must first put my Yufeng Pavilion …" Seeing that, Xing Jue raised his chin and loudly said.
* bang *
"Puchi …"
However, before Xing Jue could finish speaking, Xing Jue felt a sharp pain in his chest. A mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth. What shocked Xing Jue the most was that he did not move even half a step after receiving such a heavy blow. Nangong Shuiyue did not even move.
This manipulation of spatial energy allowed Xing Jue to once again witness the terror of a Combat Emperor, or rather, the terror of Nangong Shuiyue.
"Haha, very good. Kill me if you have the guts."
"In short, if you don't do as I say, I won't show it to you even if you kill me." Even though he felt Nangong Shuiyue's anger, Xing Jue still stubbornly said.
"You think I don't dare to kill you?"
"If you don't hand over that jade pendant today, I won't just kill you."
"I'll even kill everyone in your Imperial Wind Pavilion," Ye Futian said coldly.
However, after hearing Xing Jue's words, Nangong Shuiyue's expression became even colder. Her words were filled with killing intent. This killing intent caused fear to rise from the bottom of one's heart and make one tremble.
"You …"
Xing Jue's heart was filled with shock as he stared at Nangong Shuiyue's face, which was brimming with murderous intent. He could sense that Nangong Shuiyue's words were not child's play. If he did not do as she said, she might really slaughter everyone from the Wind Defense Pavilion.
However, what Xing Jue didn't understand was why Nangong Shuiyue was so concerned about his jade pendant. Could it be that she was only curious about what kind of jade pendant could dissolve the hidden Spirit Formation door that she had personally strengthened?
"Here, take it."
However, this was not the time for Xing Jue to think too much about it. Regardless of what Nangong Shuiyue was doing, Xing Jue had to do as she said. Even though Xing Jue could disregard his own life, he had to think of Li Xiaohan and the others.
* swish *
When Nangong Shuiyue saw the jade pendant in Xing Jue's hand, her expression changed drastically. She extended her hand, and the Soul Devouring Token turned into a ray of light that shot into her hand. Then, she began to carefully examine the Soul Devouring Token in her hand.
To Xing Jue's surprise, the more Nangong Shuiyue examined the Soul Devouring Token, the more excited she became. It was as if she recognized the Soul Devouring Token.
"Brat, where did you obtain this Soul Devouring Token?"
Suddenly, Nangong Shuiyue cast a fierce gaze at Xing Jue. Her gaze was so powerful that it seemed as if it could see through Xing Jue's body and into his heart, causing Xing Jue to tremble.
"You recognize the Soul Devouring Token?"
What shocked Xing Jue the most was that Nangong Shuiyue actually knew the name of the Soul Devouring Token. One must know that even he only knew the name of the Soul Devouring Token after being informed by Old Granny. It seemed that Nangong Shuiyue had some sort of relationship with the Soul Devouring Clan.
"Answer my question."
After hearing Xing Jue's words, Nangong Shuiyue did not answer. Instead, she exploded with a roar. His voice was also imbued with a powerful pressure.
This seemingly indifferent statement did not cause any damage to the surroundings. However, when it landed in Xing Jue's ears, it was like a muffled explosion that nearly caused Xing Jue's eardrums to explode.
Covering his aching ears, Xing Jue did not hide anything and hurriedly said, "This Soul Devouring Token was left to me by my father."
"What? Your father? You said your father? "
"You said that this was left to you by your father?" After hearing Xing Jue's words, Nangong Shuiyue's expression changed greatly.
Then, as if she had thought of something, she took a big stride forward and arrived before Xing Jue. She forcefully tore apart Xing Jue's robes. When the black robes were torn apart, Nangong Shuiyue's face froze.
At this moment, a small birthmark had appeared on Xing Jue's back. This birthmark looked a little special. It was not something he was born with, but rather, it seemed to be man-made.
At this moment, Nangong Shuiyue's face had completely frozen. A moment later, her originally sharp gaze had completely disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by a kind of gentleness. In fact, even her eyes had started to fill with tears.
This sudden turn of events caused Xing Jue to be even more confused. He had no idea what was going on and could only stand there blankly as he stared at the strange Nangong Shuiyue in front of him.
"Xing … Jue, your name is Xing Jue?"
At this moment, Nangong Shuiyue slowly opened her slightly trembling lips. Her eyes were tightly locked onto Xing Jue as she softly asked.
"I am called Xing Jue."
However, the thing that confused Xing Jue the most was that Nangong Shuiyue clearly knew that his name was Xing Jue. Yet, she still intentionally asked for his name. He wondered if Nangong Shuiyue had suffered some sort of shock.
"Jue … Jue 'er."
"Jue 'er ~ ~"
Suddenly, Nangong Shuiyue pulled Xing Jue into her embrace and hugged Xing Jue tightly. The powerful force made it difficult for Xing Jue to breathe.
At this moment, the tears in Nangong Shuiyue's eyes poured down without reservation.
The thing that surprised Xing Jue the most was that after he was in Nangong Shuiyue's embrace, a strange feeling welled up in his heart. This feeling was extremely strange and it made him feel extremely nervous and uneasy.
"Lady Shuiyue, you …" Finally, Xing Jue could no longer suppress the uneasiness in his heart and opened his mouth to ask.
"Haha, Jue 'er, I …"
"I am your mother."
After hearing Xing Jue's words, Nangong Shuiyue's rationality seemed to clear up a little. She slowly raised her head and spoke to Xing Jue with a slightly trembling voice.
"What? Mo … Mother? "
However, after hearing Nangong Shuiyue's words, Xing Jue instantly froze. It was as if he had been struck by lightning. His entire body felt numb and he lost all sensation.
Mother. This word was so familiar to Xing Jue, yet it was also so foreign. For an orphan, the most envious thing was to see other children being doted on by a mother. What Xing Jue wanted the most was to have a mother.
"Jue 'er, I really am your mother. I will never forget the birthmark on your back. Mother personally left it on your back." Nangong Shuiyue hurriedly explained when she saw Xing Jue's shocked expression.
"You, you really are my mother?"
At this moment, Xing Jue still hadn't recovered from the shock because everything had happened too suddenly. Even though Xing Jue had been looking forward to having a mother, he really couldn't accept the fact that a mother had popped out of nowhere.
"Jue 'er, I really am your mother. Your father is called Dugu Changyi. He is the only successor of the Spirit Eater Tribe. The Spirit Eater Token is a treasure left behind by the Spirit Eater Tribe. It is your father's personal item. "Nangong Shuiyue hurriedly explained when she saw Xing Jue's confusion.
"Mother … Mother, you really are my mother?"
As he listened to Nangong Shuiyue's continuous explanation, Xing Jue realized that every word she said had a basis. Not only did she know about the birthmark on his back, she also knew that his father was from the Spirit Eater Tribe. At this moment, Xing Jue was beginning to believe that this young and beautiful woman in front of him was really his mother.
"I am, I am." Nangong Shuiyue nodded her head vigorously to confirm her identity.
"Mother!"
Finally, Xing Jue could no longer control the emotions in his heart and threw himself into Nangong Shuiyue's embrace. Even though he had grown into a man of indomitable spirit, he still could not help but tear up when he saw his mother whom he had waited for twenty years.
"Jue 'er, it's all my fault. I have wronged you all these years."
After Xing Jue threw himself into her embrace, Nangong Shuiyue could no longer control her emotions. She began to cry and complain incessantly. Her beautiful face was completely covered in tears.
To Xing Jue, he had grown up alone and had never received the love of his parents. Although it was very pitiful, to a mother, the uninterrupted yearning for her child for twenty years was something that penetrated deep into her heart. Although it was very pitiful for Xing Jue to grow up alone and never receive any love from his parents.
Xing Jue and Nangong Shuiyue hugged each other, crying non-stop. Each of them had their own grievances. However, at this moment, there were even more tears of joy. Because in their hearts, their mother or their child might have already died a long time ago.
Both Xing Jue and Nangong Shuiyue hugged each other as they cried incessantly. They each had their own grievances, but at this moment, there were even more tears of joy. In their hearts, their mother or child might not even exist in this world.
