Ling Su had never expected that her beloved disciple would say such words. She truly felt that even if she died, she would have no regrets. In her agitation, she reached out and hugged Zhang Miao. She felt both guilty and pitiful. She patted Zhang Miao's shoulder and called out softly, "Miao 'er, Miao' er."
Zhang Miao's eyes were filled with hot tears. She hugged her master tightly. "Miao 'er will never be able to repay master's love for me. Actually, in my heart, I've long treated master as my mother. "
The two hugged for a while. Ling Su secretly wiped away the tears in her eyes. "Although Miao 'er can forgive me for what happened back then, I will never be able to forgive myself."
Zhang Miao hesitated. "Just what happened back then?" Although she would not pursue Ling Su's mistakes, she could not act as if she had never heard of this matter. After all, the ones who had died were her parents. Although she had never met them and had no impression of them, blood relations could not be severed.
"After I discovered Zi Yan's identity, it was as if I had obtained a treasure. I specially invited your father over to tell him this so-called top secret information. Who would have thought that he would not take it seriously? I repeatedly said that he had his own plans and that there was no need for me to worry. Only then did I understand that he had long since known of Zi Yan's identity. At that time, I was so angry that I burst into tears. For a few days, I was in a daze, drinking in Drunken Moon Pavilion. It was there that I met Ziwei, who was also drinking to drown his sorrows. I asked him, as a disciple of the grand Lingyun Temple, why was he in such dire straits? He said that he had fallen in love with a woman who did not love him. When I heard this, I treated him as a close friend and confided in him. His eyes lit up. He said that as long as there was conclusive evidence, he could announce Zi Yan's identity to the public. That way, she would definitely take the initiative to leave Night Emperor Palace for Huang Jitian's reputation. I was also possessed and told Ziwei about Zi Yan's identity, asking him to help spread the news in Immortal Forest. At the beginning, there were indeed only some rumors that revealed Zi Yan's identity. However, not long after, the situation spiraled out of control. Rumors spread everywhere, saying that Huang Jitian had colluded with the Phoenix Clan's evildoers to harm Immortal Forest. As soon as I saw that something was amiss, I met with your father again and advised him to sever all ties with Zi Yan so that he could prove his innocence. But he blamed me for revealing Zi Yan's identity and flew into a rage. He left in a huff, not even willing to listen to my explanation. Three days later, the ten great sects carried out the so-called extermination of the South Sea Night Emperor Palace. "
Zhang Miao asked, "Master, did you also participate in that operation?"
"How could that be? I'm the one who knows his character the best. He's open and upright, and absolutely won't do something like betraying Immortal Grove. What's more, he's the man I love the most. I can't bear to see him get hurt. Although I, as the Sect Master of the Water Moon Sect, warned the other nine sects that this matter must be handled with caution. But the world was shaken, and a little girl like me didn't have the prestige of my master. Plus, many people were drooling over the Night Emperor Palace's Precelestial Immortality Technique, so I couldn't stop them. I knew I was in big trouble. After much consideration, I decided to sneak into the secret passage of Night Emperor Palace and persuade your father to escape. But I didn't expect to not see your father this time, but your mother, as well as you who was just born.
Only then did I understand why your father was so infatuated with Zi Yan. She really is a very special and beautiful woman. She didn't scold me. Instead, she said she heard Huang Jitian talk about me several times and knew I was a very good and infatuated woman. At that time, I was so embarrassed that I couldn't show my face and urged her to escape. But she said to me, 'Life and death together is a vow. Today, we can die together. How fortunate is that. But I pity this innocent flesh and blood, so I'll have to trouble little sister to take care of it. ' Without any explanation, she threw you into my arms. By the time I hugged you, Zi Yan had already used the Phoenix Clan's secret technique 'Star Moon Shift' to move a hundred thousand li away.
By the time I found a place to settle you down and returned to Night Emperor Palace, I only saw a pile of rubble. Your parents were already dead and executed by the various sects as a warning to others. I was filled with regret and couldn't redeem myself. Not long after, I dismissed my disciples and became a nun. From then on, Immortal Grove no longer had Zhang Linglin, only Lingsu. Then, I pretended that I found your talent abnormal and brought you back to Mount Tianhua to be my disciple. All these years, as I watched you grow day by day, I was both happy and regretful. Even if I devoted myself to Buddha, I couldn't get rid of this shadow of guilt. "
Only now did Zhang Miao understand why her master was so good to her and why she was willing to use the 'Grand Sacrificing Life Seal' to protect her. "In master's heart, I'm not only the sustenance of a young girl's feelings, but also the best way to make up for her rash actions in the past. It's also the best way to account for my parents who died in vain." She suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that this time, the nine sects besieging Mount Tianhua is also related to my identity?"
Lingsu's eyes were filled with hatred. "I only hate myself for not being able to see through people. I actually treated Ziwei as a good friend and helped him with all my heart for many years. But it turns out that I was kept in the dark by him all this time! Huang Jitian has the True Sky Sunflower Water Body. Other than me telling Ziwei in my drunken state, no one else in the world knows. And now Ziwei is using your True Sky Sunflower Water Body to make a big fuss and slander the Water Moon Sect for colluding with the Demon Realm. Now that I think about it, Ziwei must have been behind the rumors that Huang Jitian was colluding with the Demon Realm. After the battle of the South Sea, the Lingyun Temple rapidly expanded its power and became the leader of the top ten sects. It was the biggest beneficiary. Hmph, this time they've extended their claws to Mount Tianhua. With the Nine Heavens Xuan Thunder Enchantment and the Ten Thousand Bronze Men Formation as a barrier, they'll have to pay a heavy price if they want to break in. Miao 'er, believe me. Even if I have to fight to the death, I'll make that old bastard Ziwei pay the price. This is an apology to your parents, and also a small compensation to you. "
Zhang Miao said, "Yes. Grandmaster is a woman of a generation, above all men in the world. We can't lose face even if we die. "
At the foot of Mount Tianhua, thousands of heroes effortlessly took care of the hundreds of small sects and individual cultivators who had ambushed them. Grandmother Tang was full of success and ordered, "A bunch of clowns. They're just a disgrace. Listen up, everyone, attack Mount Tianhua! "
Her gaze suddenly landed on a rock at the foot of the mountain. Her astute eyes suddenly shrank.
There were three large red words engraved on it: Sword Comprehension Stone!
It was an ordinary stone, but it represented a shocking legend from hundreds of years ago and the peerless elegance of a peerless woman.
"Anyone who wants to ascend Mount Tianhua must comprehend the sword and walk. Violators will be killed without mercy!"
What a fierce tone, what a grand spirit, and what a shameful truth. Not a single one of the thousands of cultivators who trespassed Mount Tianhua survived.
Although this woman had mysteriously disappeared for decades, her name was still fresh in Grandmother Tang's mind. As the person in charge of the Tangmen, she had supreme authority, but she couldn't help but admire this woman and admit her inferiority.
Ziwei and the other sect leaders also hesitated as Grandmother Tang looked at them. They inexplicably felt a terrifying pressure and didn't dare to rashly step onto the mountain path.
