"Mother, where is my father? Why did you abandon me back then? What the hell happened? "
A moment later, the emotions of the two of them had calmed down. Xing Jue also began to question them about what happened back then. The matter back then had always been a mystery in Xing Jue's heart. He firmly believed that there must be a reason why his parents abandoned him.
When he received his father's letter in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Xing Jue was even more certain of this. At that time, it was clear that his father had encountered an enemy that he couldn't defeat and abandoned him for his safety. But at this moment, he wanted to know what happened back then.
"Jue 'er, it's a long story. Your father and mother had no choice but to do it." Hearing Xing Jue's question, sadness appeared on Nangong Shuiyue's face. It was clear that what happened back then had left an eternal pain in her heart.
"Mother, what is going on? Tell me quickly." Seeing this, Xing Jue hurriedly urged.
"If you want to hear it, I can tell you from the beginning." Seeing Xing Jue's impatient expression, Nangong Shuiyue slowly closed her eyes. After sorting out her emotions, she said to Xing Jue with a smile.
After hearing his words, Xing Jue's eyes widened even more. He was prepared to listen to what happened between his father and mother in the past. This was because the mystery that had been buried in his heart for twenty years was finally going to be completely revealed at this moment.
"Back then, I was young and full of vigor. I felt that since I couldn't find an opponent in the Eastern Continent, I shouldn't stay here for too long. So, with my pride, I stepped into the center of the Sky Martial Continent, the Towering Heaven Region.
"The Domain of Towering Heaven is a place where only true experts can survive. Only after arriving there did I realize that there is always someone stronger than you out there. I, who can already summon the wind and summon the rain in the Eastern Continent, am nothing more than a small fry there."
"But back then, I was young and full of vigor. I didn't retreat because of the difficulties and decided to stay in the Towering Heaven Region because I felt that only there would I truly grow.
"I got to know your father by chance. In the beginning, I didn't realize how extraordinary your father was. We were just ordinary friends. However, because of my personality, I often caused trouble. Every time, I was able to avoid danger. Later, I realized that it was your father who secretly helped me."
"Gradually, I fell in love with your father, and the two of us fell in love. In the end, I became pregnant with you.
"After I became pregnant with you, your father told me about him. Only then did I know that your father was such a powerful person."
Nangong Shuiyue slowly described how she got to know her father. During this period of time, Nangong Shuiyue's face was brimming with a faint blissful smile.
"Mother, what kind of powerful person is my father?"
Hearing that, Xing Jue's face was filled with excitement and curiosity. He wasn't clear about his father's strength. He only knew that his father could defeat Uncle Pan in his prime with a single move. Therefore, Xing Jue revered his father a lot.
"Haha. Back then, there was a new force in the Towering Heaven Region called the Mystical Palace. Although the Mystical Palace only developed for a dozen years, it became the strongest force in the Towering Heaven Region.
"The reason why the Mystical Palace developed so quickly was because of a single person. He became the strongest rising star in the Towering Heaven Region at the age of twenty and the strongest powerhouse in the entire Sky Martial Continent at the age of thirty. He was revered by the entire Towering Heaven Region, Dugu Changyi.
"Dugu Changyi was your father. He was a peerless genius that influenced the entire Towering Heaven Region," Nangong Shuiyue slowly explained when she heard Xing Jue's question. Clearly, she still remembered the events of the past.
"At the age of twenty, he became the strongest rising star in the Towering Heaven Region. At the age of thirty, he became the strongest powerhouse in the Towering Heaven Region."
After hearing Nangong Shuiyue's words, Xing Jue's face was filled with excitement and pride. At that moment, he finally understood how powerful his father was.
Becoming the strongest powerhouse in the Sky Martial Continent was his goal. However, his father had actually achieved it at the age of thirty. Perhaps, he was a true genius.
"In that case, mother, why did you separate from my father? Why did you … Could it be that an enemy of the Soul-Devouring Clan appeared?"
At that moment, Xing Jue suddenly recalled what his father had said. His father was the strongest powerhouse in the Sky Martial Continent. The only person who could defeat his father was that mysterious person who had destroyed the Soul-Devouring Clan.
Furthermore, back in the ancient ruins, the owner of those ruins had warned Xing Jue. Therefore, it proved that the mysterious person who had destroyed the Soul-Devouring Clan had a deep hatred for the Soul-Devouring Clan. Furthermore, that person was hiding in the Sky Martial Continent.
After hearing Xing Jue's words, Nangong Shuiyue looked at Xing Jue with a profound gaze. "Looks like you have some understanding of the Soul-Devouring Clan."
"However, back then, your father had guessed that the mysterious person had not left the Sky Martial Continent. Therefore, he had always concealed his identity."
"Actually, when I got to know your father, he was searching for all sorts of mysterious materials. All of them were used to make a breakthrough to the Battle-Saint realm. As long as he reached the Battle-Saint realm, he would possess the power to resist that mysterious person," Nangong Shuiyue slowly said.
"Battle-Saint?"
After hearing that term, Xing Jue's face was filled with shock. It was said that a Battle-Saint was a figure who could destroy the world with a wave of his hand. In the eyes of everyone, they were god-like existences that only existed in legends.
He had never imagined that the mysterious person who had destroyed the Soul-Devouring Clan would be at such a level. That was equivalent to a god destroying the Soul-Devouring Clan. What shocked Xing Jue the most was that his father actually possessed the power to make a breakthrough to that level. That was truly shocking.
"However, breaking through to the Battle-Saint realm is extremely troublesome. Before that, your father was afraid that something might happen, so he sent me back to the Eastern Continent. Furthermore, he personally protected me while giving birth to you. As for the two of us, no one knew about it.
"Even so, after I gave birth to you, your father insisted on taking you away. Furthermore, he left me a Life Talisman and told me that if his Life Talisman were to shatter, I must not set foot in the Towering Heaven Domain again."
"Not long after your father left, that Life Talisman completely shattered. At that time, I thought that you and your father had already died. Therefore, I went through an extremely painful period of time. "
"However, after I woke up, I wanted to take revenge for you and your father. Therefore, from then on, I returned to the Nangong Family and began a long period of seclusion. I hoped that one day, I would be able to reach that level and take revenge for you and your father."
"I never thought that I would be able to see you again today." After saying that, Nangong Shuiyue seemed a little sad. However, after looking at Xing Jue, she felt a little comforted.
"Mother, since my father had made such thorough preparations, how could he have failed? Apart from you, is there anyone else who knows about my father's true identity? Could it be that someone betrayed my father? "
Hearing that, Xing Jue already had some understanding of what happened back then. Moreover, he could also tell that his father was an extremely astute person. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to grow to such an extent and ultimately protect the lives of his mother and son.
However, if such an astute person still failed at the last moment, the reason was most likely due to the people around him.
"Yes, your father has a sworn brother who grew up with him and he also knows about your father's identity."
"Furthermore, I have already entered the Towering Sky Region to investigate. I discovered that not only did that person not die after your father's disaster, he has even become the Mystical Hall's Hall Master."
"Therefore, I also suspect that your father's death is related to him." Hearing Xing Jue's question, Nangong Shuiyue's gaze turned sharp.
"Mother, what is that person's name?" Seeing that, Xing Jue's expression changed and he immediately asked.
"That person's name is Dugu Haoyu." After mentioning that person's name, Nangong Shuiyue's face was filled with dense killing intent.
"Dugu Haoyu? Good, very good ~! " After hearing this name, Xing Jue also stood up abruptly. His eyes were also filled with a terrifying murderous aura.
"Jue 'er, Dugu Haoyu is currently the strongest existence in the entire continent. Furthermore, all of this is just a guess. Before that, the most important thing is to quickly increase your strength. Moreover, it seems that you have inherited your father's terrifying talent." Nangong Shuiyue's gaze towards Xing Jue was filled with admiration.
"Oh yes, mother, why did you imprison the people of Yufeng Pavilion?" At this moment, Xing Jue suddenly remembered that the people of Yufeng Pavilion were still imprisoned by his mother.
"Hehe, actually, after I reached the Intermediate Combat Emperor, I wanted to go to the Towering Sky Domain to find out more about the situation. However, I found out that the Nangong Family had suffered a great loss. Therefore, I went to Yufeng Pavilion to seek justice."
"At that time, I found out that Yufeng Pavilion's strength is very good. At that time, I thought that if I could merge the Nangong Family and Yufeng Pavilion, then the Eastern Continent's power would become even stronger."
"When I enter the Towering Sky Domain, I will be a great help. Therefore, I wanted to use the disciples of Yufeng Pavilion as a bargaining chip to force the Supreme Elder of Yufeng Pavilion to agree to the merger. However, he refused to agree no matter what." Hearing Xing Jue's question, Nangong Shuiyue slowly explained.
"Mother, it is better not to force Yufeng Pavilion. Father's revenge will be avenged."
"Since father could rely on his own strength to build the Mystical Palace, I can also build another power that is comparable to the Mystical Palace. Otherwise, I am not worthy to be his son."
After hearing Nangong Shuiyue's words, Xing Jue solemnly vowed. His handsome face was filled with confidence.
"Yes, mother believes in you." Upon seeing this, Nangong Shuiyue slowly nodded her head. Her face was filled with gratification. At this moment, she seemed to be able to see her father's shadow on Xing Jue. It was also the light of hope.
After that, Nangong Shuiyue ordered the elders to be released. When she found out about the relationship between Xing Jue and Li Xiaohan, her heart was filled with joy.
This was because Li Xiaohan's appearance, strength, and talent were not inferior to Xing Jue. Nangong Shuiyue felt that such an outstanding woman was a good match for her son.
When Li Xiaohan, the Supreme Elder, and the others found out about the relationship between Xing Jue and Nangong Shuiyue, they were shocked for a while.
No matter what, it was great news. Putting aside the fact that Xing Jue and Nangong Shuiyue's relationship could resolve the grudges between the two forces, just the fact that Xing Jue found his birth mother made everyone feel extremely happy.
