Yuyan looked at the crying Zhang Sun Xuan Qi, her beautiful eyes revealing a hint of remorse as she sighed inwardly, "Back then, I wronged her and didn’t listen to her explanation, and ended up killing her."
Thinking of this, Yuyan felt a deep sense of regret.
Thinking of this, the guilt in Yuyan's heart grew even stronger.
Nangong Yuqin, Tang Xinying, and the other women had yet to regain their composure.
They had initially thought that Zhang Sun Xuan Qi was irredeemable and deserved a thousand cuts!
But now!
But now, they only realized how wrong they were.
Looking at her crying daughter, Zhang Sun Peng Kun let out a long sigh and said, "Daughter, it is my fault; it's all my fault."
"I am sorry to you; I deceived you."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Sun Xuan Qi fell to the ground, wailing and crying heartbreakingly, tears streaming down her face as she shouted, "Why... why is it like this... why..."
Amidst the tears, Zhang Sun Xuan Qi's next action made Tan Yun feel a pang in his heart.
Suddenly, she got up, summoned a Divine Sword in her hand, and pressed it against her neck, closing her eyes as she swung the sword, attempting suicide!
At the moment when the sharp blade cut through her neck, Zhang Sun Xuan Qi suddenly felt the Divine Sword in her hand become immovable.
She slowly opened her eyes and found Tan Yun standing in front of her, holding the blade with his right hand.
Looking at Tan Yun, a fleeting softness crossed Zhang Sun Xuan Qi's beautiful eyes, but it quickly turned cold. "Let go."
"I won't let go!" Tan Yun said decisively.
Tears dropped from Zhang Sun Xuan Qi's eyes as she choked out, "Didn't you dream of killing me?"
"Now that I want to do as you wish, why are you stopping me? Let go!"
Tan Yun's right hand gripped the sharp blade tightly, allowing it to cut through his palm, blood flowing freely.
He looked at Zhang Sun Xuan Qi with sincerity and said, "I lost the memories from the last universe, so I'm not sure if I have feelings for you."
"Putting that aside, during my time as the primeval supreme, it was indeed you and Gong Zhi Han who seriously injured me."
"You are right; later, you fell into a coma, and Gong Zhi Han killed me, cursing me into the eternal cycle of reincarnation."
"I always thought that you and Gong Zhi Han both wished for my death, but now it seems I misunderstood you."
"I also believed what you said about the last universe; I trusted Yuyan's words, not yours."
"Xuan Qi, I owe you an apology... I'm sorry."
As she heard the words "I'm sorry," Zhang Sun Xuan Qi's tears fell like a broken dam.
"Wu... Wu..." Zhang Sun Xuan Qi's cries were heart-wrenching, making those who listened feel sorrow and pain. "Tan Yun, do you know? I've waited too long for you to say this!"
"Tan Yun, do you know? Today, I repeatedly said I wanted to kill you, but... but I never thought of actually killing you."
At that moment, a tremor came from the void, as Zhang Sun Peng Kun, lying on the ground without limbs, had two Divine Swords fly out from his brow.
"Husband, be careful..." Nangong Yuqin's warning was suddenly cut off as she realized she had overthought; Zhang Sun Peng Kun was not sneak attacking Tan Yun.
One of the Divine Swords was pointed downward, pressing against Zhang Sun Peng Kun's brow.
"Poof!"
With a spray of blood, the other Divine Sword pierced into his heart!
This scene was unexpected for everyone!
"Father!!" Zhang Sun Xuan Qi released the Divine Sword and, heavily injured, staggered toward Zhang Sun Peng Kun.
"Stop, don't come over!" Zhang Sun Peng Kun said weakly.
"Father... Wu Wu..." Tears flowed from Zhang Sun Xuan Qi.
"Daughter, it's your father who is sorry to you." As Zhang Sun Peng Kun spoke with a trembling voice, blood gushed from his mouth. "Daughter, I thought a lot just now."
"If only... if only I hadn't captured Yuyan's parents back then, perhaps after marrying Yuyan, Tan Yun would also marry you."
"After all, his actions in the Hundred Flower Immortal Valley back then showed that he had feelings for you."
"It was my selfishness, my overvaluation of your brother that led me to neglect you. The current situation between you and Tan Yun is all my fault, and I'm truly sorry, daughter... I'm really sorry."
