“Master, what’s wrong?” Gongsun Ruoxi asked in confusion. A sense of ominous premonition rose within her.
Although she had mentally prepared herself, when she heard Murong Shishi's next words, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning!
Murong Shishi's beautiful eyes revealed an overwhelming hatred, “Ruoxi, you are not an orphan. Your hometown was originally a village on the outskirts of the Heavenly Punishment Mountain Range.”
“When you were one year old, Gongsun Yangchun came to the village, killed your parents, and exterminated the thirty-six people in the village.”
“You were taken back to the Huangfu Sacred Sect by Gongsun Yangchun. I found out about your background and made a plan to make you fall in love with refining technique while you were in the Outer Sect, ultimately taking you as my direct disciple.”
Hearing this, Gongsun Ruoxi shook her head violently, tears streaming down her face as she choked out, “Master, are you lying to me...? Please tell me... what you said is all false…”
Murong Shishi embraced Gongsun Ruoxi, comforting her, “Ruoxi, I know telling you this is cruel and heartless, but it really happened.”
“Master, I don't believe it... Wuwu, I don't believe it…” Gongsun Ruoxi cried.
“Here are the memory images about the village that my family showed me. Do you want to see them?” Murong Shishi sighed.
“I want to see them!” Gongsun Ruoxi shouted. She still couldn't believe Murong Shishi's words!
With a wave of her right arm, Murong Shishi conjured a scene in the Sea of Clouds with her spiritual power.
In the scene, Gongsun Yangchun stood in the air above a village surrounded by mountains. With a wave of his hand, a swaddled infant flew out from a stone house, crying loudly.
Immediately, a simple yet beautiful woman rushed out of the stone house in panic, looking up at the infant in Gongsun Yangchun's arms. She knelt on the ground, crying heart-wrenchingly, “Immortal, please return Ruoxi to me, I beg you!”
“Ruoxi!” A strong man also ran out from the stone house, shouting at Gongsun Yangchun, “In these years, you have captured all the children from our village!”
“Our Ruoxi is only one year old! You are simply inhumane!”
As soon as the man's voice fell, Gongsun Yangchun, with a blank expression, waved his right arm, and blades of wind swooped down, dismembering the couple!
At that moment, dozens of simple villagers from the village, just stepping out of their houses, were also killed by the overwhelming wind blades!
After bloodily washing the village, Gongsun Yangchun flew away. From start to finish, he killed thirty-six villagers who had no power to resist, his face showing no emotional fluctuation, only indifference!
“No!” Gongsun Ruoxi let out a heart-wrenching cry, “Father, Mother!”
“Gongsun Yangchun, you beast... you beast!!”
Gongsun Ruoxi was in unbearable pain.
Beside her, Zhong Wu Shiyao had tears in her eyes, “This beast is simply inhuman!”
“I want to kill him for revenge, I want revenge!” Gongsun Ruoxi's face was as pale as paper, and as she turned to fly out of the soundproof barrier, she was grabbed by Murong Shishi, “You can do nothing right now!”
“Can you kill Gongsun Yangchun!”
“If you want revenge, come with me. In the future, work hard in the Murong family. And remember, the one who truly killed your family is not Gongsun Yangchun, but the Golden Clan, known for their cruel methods!”
Faced with the scolding, Gongsun Ruoxi cried, “Master, why didn't your people stop Gongsun Yangchun back then…”
“Girl, it's not that they didn’t stop him, but Gongsun Yangchun was too powerful; my people couldn't stop him at all!” Murong Shishi said sincerely.
“I understand, Master. I will follow you now. One day, I will seek revenge on the Golden Clan!” Gongsun Ruoxi cried, making her resolution.
“Good. Once you arrive at the Murong family, I will ensure you practice the clan guardian technique so that one day you can take revenge on your enemies.” Murong Shishi said while wiping Gongsun Ruoxi's tears.
