"Perhaps the heavens took pity on me and gave me a chance. This chance was also personally given to me by you. I finally snatched Sister Fu back. But after so many years, although I obtained her body, I did not obtain her heart. I could not see her smile, nor could I wait for her to speak to me. Even if she was pregnant, I had to destroy the child with my own hands. She hated me, just like how I hated you back then … "
"Ah … ah ah ah ah ah!! Haha … hehe … hahahaha … "That hair-raising roar echoed in the cave for a long time, like the desperate cries of an evil spirit.
"That is her child, I will not harm it. Nor will I dare to harm it. Her son is just like you when you were young. Whenever I see him, I will only feel annoyed. He will go wherever he wants to go, out of sight, out of mind. But her daughter is much more obedient than you. She has never disobeyed my wishes. For her to marry someone older than us for the sake of Nanhuangzong's hegemony … perhaps, this is also a way for her to vent her hatred. Although you are already a lunatic, you still have descendants, and you still have Sister Fu's heart. I don't know if I should pity you, or continue to hate and envy you. But at least, I can't bear to kill you. Death will only be your release. Only your life will be worse than death. That is what I want to see the most. "
The cold and emotionless words were spat out one after another. When he said these words, Shui Yuntian's expression was terrifyingly indifferent. He did not react at all to the evil spirit before him. Over the years, he had repeated these words over and over again. This was the person he hated and envied back then, who he had destroyed with his own hands. Facing him now, the depression in his heart would always be replaced by a morbid delight.
"I won't let you die. I will pray every day so that you don't die too early."
Shui Yuntian finally turned around. When he turned around, a strange gust of wind blew out the dim yellow light, causing the cave to become dark once again. Only the frenzied roars that seemed to come from hell could be heard. Shui Yuntian strode forward and leapt out of this dungeon that no one was willing to approach. He calmly returned.

A few days later. Nanhuangzong's Zhai Xing Lou.
Shui Yuntian stood there with his eyes closed tightly, and there wasn't a single inch of his body that was moving. He'd practically arrived at a state of complete silence. He had maintained this state for a day and a night.
At that moment, he finally opened his eyes. Outside the pavilion, the sound of approaching footsteps could be heard. From the aura, he could guess the identity of the other party. He frowned slightly.
"Father, I'm back." Shui Mengchan is dressed in a pink robe and her face is covered with a thin veil as usual. She has a dreamy and fairy-like aura as if she was born with it.
"Is there something important?" Shui Yuntian asked as he slowly sat down on a wooden chair beside him.
Shui Mengchan shook her head and sat opposite Shui Yuntian, "I haven't come back for a long time, and the moon is full these few days. I miss father and mother, so I couldn't help but come back."
Shui Yuntian chuckled, "Since you're back, you should spend more time with your mother. It's been hard on you all these years. "
Shui Mengchan shook her head slightly, "Compared to my uncles, what I've done is just a meager effort." She paused for a moment and asked, "Where's Wuque?"
Hearing her ask about Shui Wuque, Shui Yuntian frowned and snorted coldly, "Hmph, that unfilial son can go wherever he wants. I'll just pretend that I don't have this son."
Shui Wuque is the younger brother of Shui Mengchan by two and a half years. He's a playful and carefree person. Although he's the only son of the Sect Master, he doesn't fit in with the rest of the Sect, so he's often not in the Sect. However, he had a good relationship with Shui Mengchan as a sibling.
Shui Mengchan consoled, "Father, don't be angry. Wuque is still young and he's at the age where he likes to play. Just let him be."
"Sigh." Shui Yuntian shook his head in disappointment and sighed, "In the past, you've always been so protective of him. Now that he's already in his twenties, he's no longer a child … Forget it, he's never had me as his father in his heart. Just let him be. Sigh, if only he can be half as carefree as you, I'll be satisfied. "
"I'll go and see my mother. Later on, I'll come and talk to father about the current situation in Sky Dragon City." Shui Mengchan stood up. Her eyes were like water and her voice was like the wind.
"Go, accompany your mother for a while." Shui Yuntian nodded. After Shui Mengchan left, he slowly closed his eyes and stopped breathing.
He's a true martial arts genius. In addition to his extraordinary hard work, his future achievements are immeasurable.
That night.
In the pitch black night, there's no moon, no stars, and no wind. The full moon that was supposed to illuminate the earth was completely covered by the pitch black clouds. In the darkness, a graceful and fairy-like figure wearing a pink dress stepped on the ground silently, walking towards the location in her memory. She didn't change into her night clothes that could conceal her movements. Instead, she wore her most ordinary clothes. Otherwise, once she's discovered, she won't be able to distinguish herself.
As she got closer, she finally heard the beast-like roar. Tonight, the madman didn't rest. The sound in the dark night added a terrifying aura that made people's hearts twitch.
After all, Shui Mengchan wasn't an ordinary woman. In this kind of atmosphere that could make ordinary people tremble with fear, she still remained calm and raised her vigilance to the highest level. As expected, there were no other people around. Her appearance here didn't alarm anyone. Because they weren't worried that the madman would escape.
A person whose tongue was cut off and whose body and power were locked by the Devil Locking Chain that even the Lady of Heavenly Punishment couldn't escape, no matter how powerful he was. Every night, people would avoid this place for fear of being late. After all, no one wanted to listen to the terrifying sound of ghosts wailing and wolves howling all night.
In the boundless night, standing in front of the cave that was covered by withered grass, she hesitated and stood there quietly, hesitating to move forward. Her mind was in a mess. She couldn't feel the terrifying sound and the pungent smell of decay anymore.
She longed for the truth, but she was deeply afraid that everything was true. If everything was true, then her whole life would be turned upside down. She wouldn't know where to go.
She hoped that everything was fake, but she still came here without everyone knowing. Subconsciously, she already believed what Ye Wuchen had said. She had only interacted with him for a few times, but she respected and feared him at the same time. Subsequently, she developed something similar to trust in him and believed in his extremely ridiculous guess.
She knew that Ye Wuchen had spent a lot of effort to obtain the information, and in order to get that guess, he must have spent a lot of effort and effort. It couldn't have been as simple as a few words from Ye Wuchen that day. She wasn't naive enough to think that Ye Wuchen spared no effort just to help her. On the contrary, not only did he not have any good intentions, but he also messed up her Nanhuangzong's ruthless plan without wasting a single soldier. But … Ye Wuchen's ruthless plan was set up with the most basic human nature. She clearly knew it, but she had no choice but to walk into the trap willingly. No one wanted their life to be nothing more than a cruel lie.
That was why compared to Evil Sect, which she had yet to face head-on, she was even more wary of Ye Wuchen. The former had great power, and while she was shocked, she was not afraid. The latter, on the other hand, was a knife that would not be stained with blood, but would stab straight into the heart. It was a knife that no one could dodge.
'If his guess really becomes reality, then what should I do …?' Shui Mengchan mumbled in her heart. At that moment, she could not help but feel uncertain. If she stopped now, she could avoid this possibly terrifying reality and hide it from her heart to complete the rest of her life. She could bury everything deep in her heart and never think about it again.
But she could not do it. The blood in her bones determined that she could not be a coward.
She swung her slender waist, and like a demonic butterfly dancing in the night, she silently landed in the dungeon that she had never approached before. In the darkness, what welcomed her was a nauseating stench, and the madman's roars also grew several times louder by her ears.
At the moment she made her choice, her heart suddenly calmed down, and she no longer felt hesitant or uneasy. She hoped that Ye Wuchen's hint was just his ridiculous nonsense, but if it was not, she would not run away anymore. Because after all …
As the voice drew closer and more shrill, she slowly walked forward. She put her right hand into her bosom and brought out a bright pearl the size of a fist. For a period of time, light elements filled the narrow dungeon, and the surroundings were as bright as day. Shui Mengchan could also see everything in front of her clearly. The madman, who was dressed in rags and had disheveled hair, and was much more terrifying than she had imagined, also appeared in her line of sight. He had not seen light for more than twenty years, but when he suddenly came into contact with a powerful light, he closed his eyes and struggled madly in pain. He roared, and the chains that reflected the dazzling golden light under the light let out clear clanking sounds. It would not be an exaggeration to describe this madman who was supposed to be human as an injured demon.
Shui Mengchan looked at the madman in front of her in a daze, and carefully observed everything about him. His head was covered, and his head was drooping because he could not adapt to the light, so she could not see his face clearly. She held the pearl in her hand, and it reflected her own brilliance. She did not reveal her face, but her dreamy and beautiful figure was so beautiful that it did not seem to be in the mortal world. It was a huge contrast with the rough environment and atmosphere in the surroundings. Compared to the madman in front of her, it was like a quiet fairy and a crazy demon.
"Who are you?" Shui Mengchan knew that he would not answer her, but she could not help but ask.
What answered her was the madman's constant roar. The black hand that was waving crazily shook its long and sharp nails, like the claws of a demon that wanted to tear people apart.
"He said … you might be my biological father … the biological father that was harmed by my current father. Answer me … are you? All of this, could it be true … if it's false, then who are you? Could it be that what they said is true, that you are my father's good friend that grew up with him, and was locked here for more than twenty years because of the betrayal back then … if it's true, then what is the truth of everything … "
The madman's roar continued without any pause or pause. But faintly, Shui Mengchan felt two pairs of eyes looking at her from the dirty and messy long hair. Her heart suddenly trembled, and following the throbbing of her heart, she told the person in front of her word by word.
