This scene at the back mountain of the Heaven Palace Sect felt really familiar.
Xuanyuan Qishang led his young daughter, Xuanyuan Wanrong, by the hand and stared somberly at the group of people in front of them.
Seeing her mother?
Hearing little Wanrong’s words, Xuanyuan Qishang’s face twitched slightly, and his somber expression gradually smoothed out. He lowered his head and forced out a smile. “Rongrong, be good. I promise you, I’ll definitely let you see your mother!”
“But this is still part of the Heaven Palace Sect. If Uncle Dean won’t let us walk in from the back mountain, then let’s walk from the main entrance and go to find mother!” The young Xuanyuan Wanrong looked only about four or five years old and seemed like a delicate porcelain doll, with a milky voice. She was really cute.
This whole incident made one’s heart just struggle with sadness. Looking at this scene in the portrait of lights and shadows, Xu Que’s heart twitched slightly. He knew that the scene that came after this would be unbearable for anyone, not to mention Xuanyuan Wanrong, who had been at such a young age.
“Xuanyuan Qishang was a very good person. I’d met him often in a secretive environment. He was extremely righteous and also loyal. I would never have been able to do a bad turn to him. Every time I saw him, he would detour especially to speak to me. I didn’t expect that…” Duan Qide suddenly spoke at this moment, sighing with emotion.
Evidently, he had also guessed that Xuanyuan Qishang and his wife had died at the hands of the Heaven Palace Sect.
Buttface’s expression remained neutral. He had seen this scene a long time ago, but his silence at this moment was enough to show that his mood was also not very good.
“Xuanyuan Qishang, are you going to rebel?” At the same time, in the portrait, Wang Chi, the Dean of the Heaven Palace Sect, had reprimanded him.
“Brother, your choice has made me very disappointed!” A woman wearing red standing beside Wang Chi shook her head in disappointment.
Xuanyuan Qishang raised his head and said solemnly to the woman in red, “I have no desire to have a sister like you. From now on, you, Xuanyuan Hong, and I aren’t related anymore!”
BANG!
Taken by a fit of monstrous anger, the ground under the woman wearing red suddenly collapsed and cracked. Her temper was obviously extremely fiery.
Xu Que also recognized this woman. She was Xuanyuan Wanrong’s aunt, Xuanyuan Hong.
Back in the day, when he’d been in the secret room at the Heaven Palace Sect’s ancient site, he had opened the restrictive barrier that had caused Xuanyuan Hong and several other strongmen from the Heaven Palace Sect to wake up before they were supposed to. These people had furiously pursued Xu Que, but Xu Que had managed to run away from them.
Afterward, these people had taken over the Heaven Palace Academy and held the Chosen by Heaven Ceremony. Xu Que had gone there to join in the excitement and stolen the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi, which was what had caused he and Xuanyuan Wanrong to have entered the world of memory now.
“Xuanyuan Qishang, what did that woman do to you? Did you actually want to betray the Heaven Palace Sect and all of us for the female Demon from the Utmost Happiness Faction?” Xuanyuan Hong roared.
“Demon?”
The look on Xuanyuan Qishang’s face changed abruptly, gradually becoming slightly crazed. He laughed out loud, full of ridicule. “Ha, ha, ha, you people proclaim yourselves as decent people, but what you do is much much worse than the Demons. Guan Chuchu was born in the Utmost Happiness Faction, but she has never indiscriminately killed innocents. She is my wife and the mother of Rongrong. How can you treat her like this?”
“Shut up!” Dean Wang Chi scolded him. His originally expressionless face became more serious at this moment, and he said in a deep voice, “Qishang, I have always regarded you as my brother. If it were not for the Heaven Palace Sect, not for the future of the entire Heaven Continent, would I make such a choice?
“Since Rongrong was born, she has been designated as The One Chosen by Heaven because she had inherited Guan Chuchu’s bloodline. Do you know how many years it’s been that The One Chosen by Heaven hasn’t appeared in the Heaven Palace Sect?”
“Rongrong become The One Chosen by Heaven due to fate. The thing about the bloodline is only a speculation. Her partner, the second One Chosen by Heaven, will naturally be chosen by her in the future, After all, this follows the rules of the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi,” Xuanyuan Qishang said angrily.
TSK! TSK! TSK! “Xuanyuan Qishang, the bloodline of The One Chosen by Heaven is not just speculation!” At this time, a white-haired old lady laughed, her face covered by an abominable smile.
She stared at Xuanyuan Wanrong fiercely and said with a laugh, “I have investigated the bloodline for years and have created many talented disciples for the Heaven Palace Sect. The bloodline of The One Chosen by Heaven is a method I am very certain is correct.”
“Shut up, old lady!” Xuanyuan Qishang roared and unexpectedly raised his hand, a sharp blade suddenly appearing in his palm. It had a sharp edge and was full of a murderous spirit.
“Today, it is not I, Xuanyuan Qishang, who betrayed the Heaven Palace Sect. It is you who have forced my family of three into a corner with no escape!”
WHOOSH!
As he’d finished speaking, Xuanyuan Qishang let go of Xuanyuan Wanrong’s small hand, and his entire being turned into a stream of light, instantly heading forward.
“Father!” The young Xuanyuan Wanrong was scared and exclaimed in fright.
But as Xuanyuan Qishang had rushed out, he had created a shield that held her in place, preventing her from rushing into the fray.
Following which, a deafening roar sounded. Xuanyuan Qishang was actually fighting ten people at once, as if he was a Sword God. He was looking scornfully at the world and fighting with an extraordinary momentum.
“Xuanyuan Qishang, you are really worthy of the title of the strongest person in the Heaven Palace Sect!” Outside the portrait, Duan Qide, who had been watching this scene, spoke again in reverence.
Xu Que also looked respectful. He had contacted these spirits. Their power was so amazing that it was terrible.
“Those people from the Heaven Palace Sect are really beasts,” Duan Qide spoke again, cursing them under his breath.
While Xuanyuan Qishang and the people from the Heaven Palace Sect were fighting, the white-haired old woman was still trying to persuade Wang Chi, and, meanwhile, was revealing a lot of information, which allowed Xu Que, Duan Qide, and the others to learn the truth.
The white-haired old woman was one of the wonders of the Heaven Palace Sect and might have even been one of the Heaven Continent’s top Drug Deities. Her pill-refining skills were the best, but she was also obsessed with bloodline research. In a nutshell, she was a crazy fan of human experimentation.
The world had long forgotten her name and only knew her by her title, the blood woman.
After years of bloodline research, she had indeed created countless powerful cultivators who were all hidden in the Heaven Palace Sect, forming a team of Heavenly Demons.
It was rumored that outsiders had never seen the Heavenly Demon Team before because anyone who had ever seen it had been instantly killed.
When Xuanyuan Wanrong was born, it had alarmed the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi, and she was decreed to be a One Chosen by Heaven. This should’ve been a piece of good news, but instead she had been spotted by the blood woman.
She had drawn out Xuanyuan Wanrong’s bloodline, and after researching it, she’d found that this bloodline resonated with the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi and that the source of the bloodline came from Xuanyuan Wanrong’s mother, Guan Chuchu.
In other words, if Guan Chuchu gave birth to another person, as long as they inherited the bloodline, they would also become The One Chosen by Heaven.
This news had shocked all the high-level officials of the Heaven Palace Sect.
They had waited for years for the day when two Ones Chosen by Heaven would pass the tribulations of love, activate the Heaven Continent, open the gates of the Divine Realm, and enter the Divine Realm.
Only in that divine world would they have the hopes to go further and become a Taoist Emperor Dao and even ascend to the divine position to become a true God!
Now that only Xuanyuan Wanrong had become The One Chosen by Heaven, if they had to wait until she became an adult before finding another person to become her cultivation companion, it might also not be the best choice of the Heavenly Stone of Taiyi, and they might not necessarily pass the tribulations of love.
But if they could create a person with the same bloodline as Xuanyuan Wanrong, their success rate might become infinitely greater.
So how could they get the same bloodline?
Make Guan Chuchu give birth to a boy?
That would become Xuanyuan Wanrong’s younger brother. The Heavenly Stone of Taiyi certainly wouldn’t agree to the siblings becoming cultivation companions. This would go against the will of heaven and earth.
Then, they had to find another person with the same bloodline as Guan Chuchu. The Heaven Palace Sect had tried this before, but the blood woman had also said that it would be extremely difficult to find someone of this bloodline, and it wasn’t possible to find a second Guan Chuchu.
So, the blood woman proposed a plan to exchange blood.
She had a secret technique that could draw out the bloodline of a person and transfer it to another person without any side effects, but the person whose bloodline was drawn out would definitely die.
It was precisely because of this that the Heaven Palace Sect had pretended to declare that it couldn’t accept Guan Chuchu since she had come from the Demons and had asked her to leave, but had secretly imprisoned her instead.
Unexpectedly, this matter had been discovered by Xuanyuan Qishang, and, in a rage, he had taken Xuanyuan Wanrong and tried to rescue Guan Chuchu before leaving the Heaven Palace Sect as a family of three.
Unfortunately, his actions had also been discovered by the Heaven Palace Sect, and he had been stopped on the back mountain.
This memory portrait showed the aftereffects of all of these actions.
After Xu Que and the others had learned about all of this information from the portrait, their expressions had also become very ugly.
“This blood woman, this Wang Chi, these people from the Heaven Palace Sect… everyone of them should die!” Xu Que’s heart was bursting with anger. He was almost overflowing with rage!
