Heartbroken!

  "Think you can run? Not so easy!"

  Just as they had just jumped away, dozens of black-clad men suddenly fell into the courtyard, one of whom raised his bloodthirsty voice in a gloomy tone that sent chills down people's spines. Dozens of black-clad men were seen, half dealing with the Eight Evils and half chasing after Tang Zihao and the others. At this moment, in the night sky, the man standing with his sword raised narrowed his sinister eyes and glanced down, slightly furrowing his brow.

  "Where is Tang Xin?"

  "Clang!"

  The sound of clashing swords rang out in the night, with a strong aura bursting forth, emitting a terrifying atmosphere. In the mansion, the eight fierce warriors were fighting back with all their might, using their most powerful techniques, each move ruthless and deadly! The sharp sword energy was unleashed, and it would surely take the opponent's life in the shortest time possible. However, tonight's formidable enemies had powers that surpassed theirs by a level. After a long battle, although they managed to kill many of their opponents with cunning and treacherous tactics, the eight warriors were also left severely injured, a shocking sight to behold!

  "Where is your heart?"

  In the night sky, the cold voice of the gray-clothed man came out again, accompanied by a strong sense of oppression that struck the eight of them. Suddenly, they felt their whole body being bound up, unable to move, and saw the black-clothed man charging towards them with his sword. If they couldn't avoid it, they would definitely die here. The thought of survival stirred up the dormant abilities within their bodies, and they mustered up their inner martial power to struggle free, letting out a loud shout.

  "Ah!"

  The voices of the eight people merged into a loud and powerful voice with a strong breath, only to see that an unstoppable strong airflow burst out from their bodies, and the black night suits on the eight people also cracked open with a "pa" sound at this moment, revealing their sturdy and robust chests.

  At the moment when their shirts shattered, the black-clad men who were holding swords were stunned, with an expression of incredulity flashing across their eyes. This was because the eight people's bodies under their clothes were incredibly robust, with six-pack abs and bulging biceps, as if they contained endless energy within them. What shocked them even more was that the eight people's bodies were covered in scars of all sizes, some of which still looked deep enough to see bone at present, and must have been life-threatening at the time.

  As an assassin, getting injured is inevitable, but the extent of their injuries was truly astonishing, especially considering they were all so much younger than him! It's really unknown what kind of environment they grew up in to end up with such severe injuries, and what kind of environment they survived in.

  Who would have thought that the moment Ba Xiao saw them, his cold eyes flashed, and his body instantly disappeared. The sharp sword tip mercilessly swept across their necks, and in an instant, blood splattered out, spilling all over the ground, also startling the black-clad men behind them.

  "Swallow the pill given by your master!"

  With a cold and stern command, the eight of them exchanged a glance, secretly crushing the outer shell of the medicinal pill in their hands. They quickly swallowed the pill, and as soon as they did, the aura around them surged forth instantly. The martial energy within their bodies churned like a raging river, turbulent and overflowing. These were the medicinal pills Tang Xin had given them for self-defense, capable of temporarily increasing their strength to its limits, allowing them to fight for an extended period without feeling any loss of physical energy. They had never needed to use them before, but unexpectedly, they came in handy tonight.

  The powerful aura left the remaining twenty or so black-clad men bewildered, wondering how they could recover instantly when their physical strength was rapidly draining away, and even become more terrifying than before?

  The figure moved, the sword flashed, and the atmosphere of slaughter spread through the night. Fresh blood formed a thin stream on the ground, and corpses lay scattered all over the place, but no one cared. At this moment, Ba Xiao's eyes only saw the existence of his opponent, and in his heart, there was only one strong thought: kill them! Kill them mercilessly, just like they had dealt with their enemies before!

  "Hiss! Ssss! Ah......"

  Frightening sword energy swept across, a sword sliced through the opponent's body, the sharp blade retracted, and the black-clad man's head flew out suddenly. Only then did the Eight Trigrams shout loudly, their bare arms and faces covered in blood, they looked like warriors bathed in blood, with only the enemy's presence in their eyes, only intense killing intent and battle will, no death, no rest!

  In mid-air, the gray-clothed man who was gazing down at the scene below with a hint of disdain in his eyes, thought to himself that it was truly useless for so many people to be unable to defeat those eight. Seeing that the outcome of the battle had already been decided, he furrowed his brow and chased after Tang Zhengyu and the others.

  "Miss, that's a signal from Xiao Yu!"

  Tang Xin and his party, who had picked cherries on their way back, rested halfway due to the late night. However, when they saw several signal flares flying in the sky towards the Imperial City, Tang Xin and Xia Xue were shocked.

  "Go back immediately!" Tang Xin's head was greatly shocked, and she inexplicably felt a sense of unease. Could it be that something had happened at the Xiang Fu? Those few signals, apart from Xiao Yu's, also included Ba Sha's; unless it was extremely urgent, they would never send out multiple signals!

  Mo Chenfeng glanced at the night sky, furrowed his brow, and then looked at her worried expression. "I'll take you back," he said, standing up and wrapping his arm around her waist. With a surge of internal energy, they rose into the air. However, in his heart, he knew that they were still some distance from the Imperial City, and if something had indeed happened, it was unlikely that they could arrive in time to make a difference.

  Xia Xue saw the situation and quickly picked up Fengfeng, swiftly following behind. The signal of Ba Sha, the signal of Xiao Yu, it must be that something has happened at the Xiang Fu! Young master, Xiao Yu, hold on, hold on! We'll be there right away...

  Young Master!

  Seeing his sturdy back being slashed with a knife, fresh blood gushing out instantly, she couldn't help but let out a loud cry of surprise. However, she also had to protect the mistress, and was already struggling to cope, fundamentally having no ability to go and help him again. Seeing the old master single-handedly fighting off multiple people, also getting battered and bruised all over, her eyes involuntarily reddened with worry.

  "Protect my mother! I don't want to be tight!" Tang Zihao, although a martial arts master, was evenly matched with his opponent and outnumbered. After a fierce battle, his fat body was covered in wounds of all sizes, but he gritted his teeth and endured silently, not making a sound.

  "Pffft!"

  Tang Zhengyu lost his grip and was captured. He had been hit by a palm from the black-clad man, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth. His entire body also lost its ability to struggle back.

  "Dad!"

  "Husband!"

  "Old Master!"

  Three people exclaimed in unison, and Bai Yan was even more trembling, looking at him who was covered in injuries, her eyes reddened: "Don't hurt him, don't hurt him..."

  The man in black stopped fighting and glared at them coldly, shouting: "Speak! Where is Tang Xin?"

  "No, no... We don't know..."

  "Ah!"

  Suddenly, the black-clad man's sword pierced Tang Zhengyu's thigh, glaring at them menacingly: "Won't say? Really won't say? Then you'll watch him suffer torture in front of you!"

  "Don't!" Bai Yan covered her mouth with both hands, and before she knew it, tears were streaming down her face.

  "Bastard!" Tang Zihao clenched his fists, his eyes turned red with rage, and a fierce aura burst out from him. However, he was powerless against them at this moment.

  "Nothing to say?" The black-clad man's sword, lodged in Tang Zhengyu's thigh, twisted and dug deeper into his leg, causing him excruciating pain. He gritted his teeth: "I... I'm fine! Even if it kills me, I won't let Xiner put herself in danger! Ah!"

  The man in black narrowed his eyes and drew out his sword, instantly blood spurted up like a column, Tang Zhengyu's suppressed voice of pain couldn't help but cry out, this scene made Bai Yan almost faint.

  "Bastard! Come at me if you dare!" Tang Zihao cursed angrily, hating his own helplessness at the moment.

  "Speak! Where is Tang Xin?"

  "Spare your breath! Even if we die, we won't betray our own family!"

  Tang Zihao's face was twisted in anger as he watched his father suffer such injustice. His heart ached with both sadness and hatred. If only he were strong enough, he could protect them from being bullied. If only he were strong enough, his sister wouldn't be hunted down by these people! Never had he felt such an overwhelming desire to become stronger. He made a vow: if he didn't die today, he would definitely embark on the path of cultivation and become a true powerhouse, so that he could protect those he cared about!

  "Family? It seems that Tang Xin has no blood relation with you all. To watch your own father die in front of you for someone who has no blood relation with you? If so, then I'll fulfill your wish!" The black-clothed man's eyes gleamed with a cold light as he lifted his foot and kicked out heavily!

  "Hiss!"

  "Dad!"

  "Husband!"

  Tang Zhengyu was kicked out by a man in black, and with multiple injuries on his body, he heavily tumbled outward, losing consciousness at the same time. This tumble happened to be rolling down the mountain. Seeing him being kicked down the mountain, Bai Yan, who had been protected behind him, suddenly pushed away Xia Yu Fei and rushed forward to hug him, who had fainted. The two of them hugged each other tightly, rolling down the slope together, disappearing into the dark night...

  "Mother!"

  "Madam!"

  Tang Zihao was furious, watching his parents roll down the mountain slope in front of him. The mountain was originally steep and uneven, and falling like this would not kill them but leave them seriously injured. Originally, they had injuries on their bodies, and with this fall, it was hard to predict whether they would live or die!

  "I'm going to fight you!" He was about to pounce on them like a madman, but Xia Yu pulled him back: "Young master! We're no match for them, let's go! Let's go! Hurry!"

  Tang Zihao's eyes turned red, and a surge of martial power burst out from his body. His killing aura spread all over: "I want to avenge my parents! I want to kill them! Kill them!"

  "Kill us? You're not qualified!" The black-clad man snorted, and the sharp sword in his hand flew out with a cold light. The swift and fierce sword aura brought a shocking sword energy that rushed towards Tang Zihao at an ear-piercing speed.

  "Clang!"

  Two swords collided, and the crisp and metallic sound suddenly spread out, cutting through the night sky, and Tang Zihao was entangled with the black-clothed man. At first, there was only one person fighting him, but later several people joined in, and Xia Yu was also surrounded by several black-clothed men. The white gauze was stained with blood...

  "Pffft!"

  After all, he was no match for the black-clad man. As Xia Yu was slapped out with a palm, a sharp and piercing sound could be heard as something penetrated his body. Tang Zihao turned around to look, his face changing: "Xiao Yu!"

  "Ah!" A sword pierced through her shoulder, causing her to gasp in shock. However, she still raised the sword in her hand and stabbed at her opponent, but it was easily deflected.

  At this time, a man in gray clothes came riding on his sword from the night sky, frowning and looking at the scene below: "Why is Tang Xin not here?"

  "It's you after all! Today, you'd better kill me! Otherwise, I will definitely tear you to pieces someday!" From the moment that person appeared, the strong pressure in the air made him unable to move, and the next moment, he was already captured by them.

  The man in grey clothes looked down at him with a glance, his sleeve fluttered, and a powerful force burst out from his sleeve, violently sending him flying out.

  "Ah!"

  Young Master!

  The little rain that was captured struggled, wanting to move forward, but the two large hands pressed on her shoulders increased their strength, pinching her wound and causing fresh blood to flow.

  His eyes flashed with a cruel glint, and he said in a cold voice: "Break his legs for me! Let's see if he still dares to speak!"

  "Yes!" The black-clad men responded in unison, with four of them stepping forward. Two of them pinned his hands down with their feet, rendering him immobile. The other two lifted their legs, and with a fierce glint in their eyes, they concentrated the power of martial arts into one swift kick that landed squarely on her knee.

  The warriors cultivate the power of the way, and this power is not trivial. With one kick from each of them, the crisp sound of shattering bones accompanied Tang Zihao's mournful cries as they pierced through the night sky, making people's hearts tremble with fear, and their eyes wide with astonishment.

  "Ah..."

  "Let him go! Let him go!" Xiaoyu shouted, her voice hoarse from screaming. Tears streamed down her face as she watched him being pinned to the ground, his legs twisted at an unnatural angle. His lips trembled in agony, his body convulsing in pain. Her heart ached, aching so much...

  That's the young master, the one who always puts on a young master's airs but is as loving and protective as an older brother to them, the one who would give them gifts on their birthdays. In her heart, she had always thought of him as an older brother, and her sister loved him, and she too had hoped that one day he would become her brother-in-law. But now, this young master who had doted on them since they were little was right in front of her, suffering terribly!

  "Let him go! Let go of Young Master..." She wailed, from the day her family was killed, she hadn't cried once, but now tears fell freely as she saw the black-clad man's foot lift up to trample his chest. Suddenly summoning unknown strength, she broke free from the black-clad man's grasp and rushed forward to hug Tang Zihao tightly.

  "Pffft!"

  With a kick imbued with the power of Wu, Xia Yu spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire body seemingly drained of energy, and lay on top of him, gasping for breath: "Young... young master, actually... I also wanted to call you Fatty, Fatty Brother." The words were spoken in a stuttering tone, while Tang Zihao beneath him was already stunned into silence.

  "Xiao Yu? Xiao Yu, how are you? Don't worry, don't worry, sister will save you, you don't have to be anxious, it's okay. When you get better, can you also call me Pangzi Gege like your sister?" His heart was trembling, that one punch had such a heavy force, even he could feel it through Xiao Yu, how could she bear it?

  In mid-air, the gray-clad man's sinister gaze glanced down coldly and ordered: "Since you won't speak, then kill her!" His eyes looked into the night, where was that person? He had thought he could take her life tonight, but unexpectedly she escaped again. Was it really that she wasn't destined to die?

  "Hah, think you can kill my sister? You won't be able to, on the contrary, today you've killed us, she will definitely avenge our death! Do you know that? She recognizes you, she'll avenge our death! She'll make sure you die without a burial!"

  "Bastard!" The man in gray was enraged, his sleeve fluttering as a powerful gust of wind struck the two, sending Xia Yu flying to one side. Tang Zihao also rolled to the ground after being hit, and from above, the man's ruthless words came: "No burial site? Today I'll let wild beasts gnaw your bones into nothing!" As soon as his voice fell, a large hand swept down, striking Tang Zihao with a palm that sent him spitting out a mouthful of blood. His eyes turned black and he fainted, rolling down the mountain slope into the dense forest below.

  Xia Yu, who had been watching the scene with wide eyes, couldn't say a word at this time. She slowly closed her eyes and silently shed tears, lying motionless on the ground. Even when the men in black left, she didn't know...

  Until then, the eight arrived in search and saw Xia Yu lying in a pool of blood. The eight quickly approached: "Xia Yu? How are you?" With a wave of his hand, Wu Zhi's breath re-entered her body, reviving her.

  "Cough cough."

  Xia Yu coughed, slowly opening her eyes. The blood from the corner of her mouth couldn't be stopped: "The old master and mistress have rolled down the mountain slope, their lives or deaths unknown. The young master's legs are crippled, he's also...also gone! Pfft!"

  "Xia Yu, hold on, the mistress will be here soon!" Leng Shuang supported her, seeing that she was speaking while vomiting blood, and her breathing was so weak, she couldn't help but worry, would Xia Yu make it until the mistress returned?

  "It's no use, I... my five organs are all torn apart, I... can't live on." The weak voice was getting lower and lower, if it weren't for the cold energy of Wu Zhi giving her a breath of air, she probably wouldn't have made it this far.

  "Miss, Xiaoyu can't, can't stay with you anymore... Sister, sister, Xiaoyu can finally see Father and Mother again..."

  Her hand fell weakly, she slowly closed her eyes, a faint smile on the corner of her lips, and just like that, she stopped breathing. Ba Shi's face was solemn, his expression relaxed, with a hint of sadness in his eyes. One by one, they watched her, watching as her white veil turned into a bloody garment, watching as she died with a smile on her face...

  June's sky, should be rainless, but tonight suddenly poured down heavy rain, the sound of rain and wind accompanied each other, sweeping wildly, hitting people's bodies, but it was heart-wrenching.

  Mo Xun brought Tang Xin back to the Prime Minister's estate, but in that instant when he flew into the estate, he was stunned. He came back to his senses and looked at Tang Xin with worried eyes, watching her walk step by step in the rain, in the blood, watching the heavy rain fall on her body, watching her green dress get wet, watching her clenched fists, watching her silent but sorrowful mood.

  "Dad? Mom? Fat brother? Xiaoyu? Where are you?"

  Looking at the bodies scattered all over, looking at the rainwater mixed with blood flowing in the courtyard, her heart was severely pained. Why were these people so innocent? Why did that person have to kill them too? The bright red blood deeply pierced her eyes and heart. For the first time, she felt terrified. Where were her loved ones? Were they still alive?

  When Xia Xue was carrying Fengfeng and flying over, she saw the corpses all over the ground, the blood all over the ground. The unease in her heart kept spreading. They say that twins have a spiritual connection, just now, when she was carrying Fengfeng and running halfway, her heart suddenly hurt severely, as if someone had stabbed her heart with a knife, it hurt so much that she almost couldn't breathe.

  Standing beside Muxun Feng, Feng blinked his eyes and looked at the corpses on the ground. He also knew that his mother was very sad now, and it seemed that Grandpa, Grandma, Fat Uncle, and Yu Sister were all gone.

  "Master."

  A dark figure emerged from the rain and landed in the courtyard, looking at the scene before him with a hint of confusion. Recently, his master had given him permission to take care of some personal matters, so he went to the Hidden Gate, retrieved the head of that person, and rushed back. On his way back, he saw a signal in the night sky, which he recognized as the signal of Xia Xue and Xia Yu, who had told him about it before. However, when he returned here, he found that the usually harmonious and joyful House of Xiang had turned into a hell on earth tonight.

  Mo Chenfeng glanced at him and asked, "Have you just returned too?"

  "He saw the signal halfway and hurried back. What's going on?" He hesitated for a moment before asking.

  "Master."

  A voice came, and several people turned around to see Ba Shi with his upper body exposed, covered in scars. Rainwater poured down on them, wetting their hair and clothes, washing away some of the blood, but deeper wounds still bled. The person holding a white silk dress stained with blood was carrying Xia Yu back. When Xia Xue saw Xia Yu being carried back, she lost her senses and rushed forward, trembling as she stretched out her hand towards the face that looked exactly like hers.

  "Light rain..." The trembling voice was filled with incredulity, she couldn't believe that her sister had actually... actually gone just like that!

  "Xiao Yu!" She took Xiao Yu from Leng Shuang's cold hands and sat down on the ground, tightly hugging her in her arms: "Xiao Yu, don't scare sister, Xiao Yu, open your eyes and look at sister, okay? Xiao Yu..." She called out to her repeatedly, but there was no response.

  Tang Xin stepped forward with a heavy gait, her hand gently stroking Xia Yu's pale face. On her face, it was unclear whether it was tears or rain. When her hand touched his wrist, the hatred in her eyes suddenly burst out: "I absolutely! Absolutely want him to die without leaving a whole corpse!"

  Looking at her in pain, he paused for a moment and said: "Master, tonight there are nearly 40 black-clad men, their strength is similar to ours, and there is also a cultivator. We protected the old master and his wife from leaving, but were blocked. Half of the people went after them, when we arrived, I only saw Xia Yu weakly lying on the ground, I used my martial arts skills to help her breathe, she said that the old master and his wife fell off the mountain, the young master was seriously injured and had both legs disabled, already...

  "Is the young master dead too?" Upon hearing this news, Xia Xue felt as if she had lost all her strength, her heart aching excessively. The heavy blows came one after another, making it unbearable for her. She only felt her blood rushing up, and everything before her eyes turned black as she fainted.

  Tang Xin quietly supported her, she pursed her lips and didn't speak, but those eyes shot out a fierce and terrifying killing intent and hatred, around her body, there was a lingering sorrowful pain that made people's hearts ache just by looking at it.

  His eyes narrowed, and he said, "We several people went down the mountain to search for them, but we didn't find them." That forest was dense and rarely had anyone passing through; if they hadn't been rescued by someone, it's likely that they would have become prey in the mouths of wild beasts.

  Mocheng Feng walked forward, looking at her crouching on the ground, and said: "I'll go back and have someone search the mountain to see if they can find it. It's already late at night, let's go in! Let's deal with all the injuries first, and then think about what to do next."

  Tang Xin crouched in the rainwater, her eyes fixed on Xiasnow who had fainted and Xia Yu who was already dead. "Leng Shuang, help me carry them inside."

  Leng Xiao and Xue Xiao walked forward, each carrying one of them, taking big strides as they went inside.

  "Mother." Fengfeng came to her side, wanting to tell her not to be sad, but couldn't say it out loud, because he himself was also very sad. They had all been so good to him, and now they were either dead or missing.

  Mo Chenfeng reached out and pulled her up, saying in a deep voice: "Only by taking good care of yourself will you have the opportunity to take revenge. Tang Xin, go inside! They all need you!"

  Ink and the others stood in the rain, accompanying her, watching her, her sorrow, they all understood, but, things have come to this, sorrow is also useless, on the contrary, they all had to think carefully about what to do next. The one who wanted to take her life was a cultivator, with strength that was absolutely not something they could withstand, so how could they protect her by her side?

  "Master, come in!"

  She raised her head, looked at them for a moment, and slowly lowered her eyelids. Yes, she couldn't fall down! And absolutely couldn't fall down! She still had to avenge them! Even if her parents and fat brother were already dead, she had to find their bodies!

  "Go ahead!" She turned around and walked inside, but when her gaze swept over the corpses on the ground, her heart was still aching.

  The next day, the news of the massacre at the Prime Minister's residence spread like wildfire, and the entire imperial city was shocked. Even Mu Tianyu, who was in the palace, was shocked beyond words. Who could have done such a thing? It was unimaginable that anyone could slaughter the Prime Minister's residence overnight!

  "What about Tang Xin? How is she?" He asked in a low voice to the dark guard beside him, thinking of that stunning woman, if she died like that, it would be a pity.

  "Tang Xin went to Nanshan yesterday and escaped by chance. Tang Shang and his wife, as well as Tang Zihao, all died. In the prime minister's residence, only Tang Xin and a maid by her side survived."

  "How could the entire Tang Zhengyu family be destroyed in one night? Who is responsible for this?" Mu Tianyou asked in a low voice.

  "Not a single clue can be found."

  Upon hearing this, he waved his hand, signaling the dark guard to retreat, and leaned back in his seat, deep in thought.

  All parties were shocked to hear that the Xiang Fu was slaughtered overnight, leaving only Tang Xin. Many people secretly rejoiced at this turn of events, thinking that without Tang Zhengyu, the Xiang Fu would no longer be the Xiang Fu, but merely the Tang Fu, and its status would plummet, losing its position as the top family in the imperial city. Now, with only Tang Xin left, a powerless ordinary woman, no one would take her seriously again.

  Moreover, some people who had long been eyeing her beauty took advantage of the opportunity to set their sights on the Tang family's estate, hoping to snatch both the beautiful woman and the Tang family's wealth.

  Ba Xiao and Mo's existence, outsiders are completely unaware of, so they only think that the current Xiang Fu only has Tang Xin and her maid's existence. Although this is the case, they still can't help but feel anxious, after all, the Xiang Fu may be gone, but isn't there still the number one Zhuang in the world?

  That Emperor deeply loved her, if he really married her, then they wouldn't dare to move against the number one estate in the world!

  No one knew, because they heard that the imperial city had come to repair the immortal, Emperor Zong and his wife accompanied Emperor Shang Mo to the imperial city, originally thinking of letting him test whether he had a spiritual root, whether he could enter the immortal gate, but as soon as he entered the imperial city, he heard such news.

  "Dad! I have to go to the Prime Minister's mansion to see Tang Xin, the Prime Minister's mansion was brutally slaughtered, now only Tang Xin is left, she is a woman and how helpless she must be at this time? Just let me go!" Emperor Miao was about to leave when he was stopped by his father.

  Di Zong gave him a stern glance and said in a deep voice, "Do you know how many connections I had to pull just to get you scheduled for the spiritual root test today? If it weren't for the reputation of being the number one Zhuang, you wouldn't have even made it onto the list until three months from now. This opportunity is so rare, how can you say you're going to go see Tang Xin now? You need to come with me to the testing grounds right away, don't miss the appointment!" As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed his hand, pulling him towards the exit.

  "Dad, after I've taken the test, you can't stop me from seeing Tang Xin anymore. You and Mom have already promised me that you won't oppose my marriage to her."

  He glanced at him and said in a low voice: "Let's talk about it after the test!"

  On the other hand, Mu Chenfeng arrived at the Xiang Mansion and walked towards her as she sat in the courtyard: "I sent people to search for her in the mountains, but last night's rain was too heavy, washing away any clues on the ground. My men only found a boot in the forest." As he spoke, he handed over the boot he had brought with him.

  "This is Fat Brother's boots." Seeing the boots, her eyes were slightly red, and she was extremely painful in her heart. Is Fat Brother really dead? He was seriously injured and had his legs disabled, and last night it rained so heavily, the chances of survival are zero.

  "What are you going to do? Now everyone outside is saying that the Xia Manor only has you and Xia Xue left, and many people with ulterior motives are eyeing this place."

  "Staring here? Ha, is the Xiang manor a place where anyone can make a move?" She sneered, her eyes gleaming with cold light.

  Phoenix's gaze fell on her body, and in the depths of his black pupils, there was still a hint of worry. He knew her ability to resist, but those people couldn't be too careful either, especially Mu Tianyou. That person was an ambitious one, he had long been eyeing her, and now that the Mu manor was in this state, it was likely that his hands would reach for her again.

  Against Mù Tiān Yòu, he can help her ward him off, but only for a while, not forever. Of course, if she were his woman, no one would dare to mess with her. However, it seems that in her eyes, there is only the existence of Dì Shāng Mò. In that case, the best solution now is to let the number one Zhuang protect her.

  Thinking of this, his heart ached slightly. If possible, he truly wished that the one protecting her was him, not Di Shangyan.

  He paused for a moment, then spoke in a low voice: "Actually, the best solution at present is to get recognized by the number one estate. If they spread the news that you are the future young mistress of the number one estate, I think except for that cultivator, no one would dare to move against you, and no one would dare to move against the Xiang family." He didn't deny it, even Mu Tianyu had some fear towards the number one estate. If Mu Tianyu was the emperor who controlled the imperial power, then the Emperor's clan was the ruler of the Jianghu forces.

  She lowered her eyelids and said lightly: "Even if I don't use the number one manor in the world, I can still protect this place."

  He took a look at her, of course knowing that what she said was to reveal her identity as Gui Shou Tian Yi. If her identity as Gui Shou Tian Yi were to be made public, not only would no one dare to make a move on her, but all the powers would come to fawn on her. Only, he knew she wouldn't go public at this time, and if she really wanted to, she wouldn't have waited until now.

  "I'll go back first, if there's anything, let someone inform me." He said, his figure flashed, and he flew out.

  The sunshine in the afternoon was exceptionally brilliant, and the mood of Emperor Zong and his wife was also so excited, happy, and joyful, filling their entire heart. Because their son had been tested to have a spiritual root, which was actually an extremely good innate spiritual root. Now it has been recognized by those two immortals, and as soon as this test is over, they will introduce him into the immortal sect. This is a huge joyous event, because those two cultivators said that in the entire imperial city, he is the first one to be tested with an innate spiritual root.

  At this time, Di Shangmo's heart was a mixture of joy and worry. He was happy to have the opportunity to enter the immortal realm, but worried about why it had to happen at this particular moment. If he entered the immortal realm, Tang Xin would not be able to follow him, and now that her parents were dead or missing, if he left her behind, wouldn't he be known as a heartless person?

  "Dad, mom, I'm going to the Tang's residence to see Xintang." He stopped in his tracks and said to them.

  Upon hearing this, Emperor Zong's smile on his face suddenly disappeared: "Your current identity is different from before, you are someone who will enter the Immortal Gate, how can you still be thinking about Tang Xin? Don't forget, those two immortals have already said that once this trial ends, they will take you to the Immortal Gate. It's fortunate that you still have a heart to think about romantic feelings."

  "Yes, Mo Er, now you and Tang Xin's distance is getting farther and farther. Previously, it didn't matter that she was physically weak and couldn't cultivate, I thought that since you liked her, marrying her wouldn't be impossible. However, your identity is different now, you absolutely cannot let personal feelings ruin your boundless future. Those two immortals also said that your talent in the cultivation world is extremely rare, it's a heavenly spiritual root, and your future cultivation will even surpass those two immortals. When you become a disciple of the immortal sect, you and Tang Xin will no longer have any possibility. She's just an ordinary woman who can't be more ordinary, in the future within the immortal sect, what kind of woman do you want? Just forget about her!"

  His heart was struggling, on the one hand, he knew what they said was right, on the other hand, he couldn't put down Tang Xin's heart, originally he told her that when he came back, he would take her to meet his parents, they would definitely accept her, but now...

  Things in life are unpredictable and unforeseen, and he found himself struggling in such a situation, unsure of what to do.

  When he faced death, his desire to become stronger was so strong. Now, there is such a rare opportunity in front of him, will he seize it or give up? The two paths ahead, one has unlimited prospects, the other is just content with the status quo. If he pushes away this opportunity and stays here, even his parents won't agree to let him miss this chance to marry Tang Xin. So, if he insists on marrying Tang Xin, not only will he lose his boundless future, but also his loved ones...

  His heart is in pain, struggling, why does his life have so many choices? Why did he give him a new choice after excluding all difficulties? Is it that he and Tang Xin are really not destined to be together? If they are destined to be together, why are there so many obstacles?

  "Think clearly, if you really stay for Tang Xin, the time you spend with her will only be a short few decades. Tang Xin cannot cultivate, and birth, aging, sickness, and death are all normal human experiences. When she dies, you'll still be alive, and by then, your life will have already been set in stone! If you part ways with her like this and enter the immortal realm, your future prospects will be boundless! Do you know? It's a boundless future! Even a three-year-old child knows how to make this choice."

  Di Zong said in a low voice, looking at him and saying: "Since you want to see Tang Xin, then let's go! We'll go with you and clear up the matter! We absolutely won't let her ruin your whole life!"

  "Dad!"

  "Stranger, we won't harm you. Since you can't say it yourself, let us speak for you!"

  "Mother! Can't you stop pressuring me!" He painfully clutched his head, muttering in a low voice. At this moment, he had lost his usual gentle elegance and looked like a caged animal that had just been released, struggling and suffering, but not knowing what to do?

  "Force you? We're doing this for your own good! Now that the Tang family only has her left, what's the point of marrying her? Today, I'll go to the Tang residence and make things clear! So you won't be entangled with her forever!" Emperor Zong said coldly as he took a big stride towards the Tang residence.

  "Dad! Don't be like this! Tang Xin can't take it!" He stepped forward, grabbed him and begged: "Give me some time! I'll talk to her myself, but not now, not now..."

  These past few days, Tang Xin had been staying at home and not going out. Although she knew that outside they were testing the spiritual roots and those two cultivators were looking for good seedlings to enter the immortal gate, she didn't put it in her heart because it was none of her concern. At this time, she only thought about how to find that person and avenge her family.

  Until this day, Mu Chenfeng arrived at the mansion and saw her sitting in the courtyard. He didn't approach her, but stood quietly not far from her, just looking at her.

  Tang Xin was slightly surprised and raised her eyes to ask: "What's wrong?"

  "Don't you know? It's been circulating in the city that Di Shang Mo has been found to have a Heavenly Spirit Root, and two cultivators have already taken notice of him. Once the assessment is over, they will recommend him to enter the Immortal Gate. Moreover, he has been in the Imperial City for several days, didn't he come to see you?"

  At these words, Tang Xin was taken aback for a moment, shook her head and smiled: "Impossible, he won't."

  "The whole imperial city knows about it, and you're still in the dark. How can you still say he won't?" His face turned ugly, with an unknown source of anger burning inside him.

  "Miss, there's a little kid holding this letter and said it's for you." Xia Xue walked in, with Fengfeng by her side.

  "A letter?" She flashed a look of surprise, how could there be a letter? After opening it, her expression changed, and the temperature in her eyes gradually cooled down.
