Fang Family.

Boom!

An arrow pierced through the pitch-black sky, trailing a swirl of black mist, and hit the face of an Elder with a ruthless stomp.

Most of the mountain collapsed.

That Elder was trampled under Xu Huan's foot.

"What talent do you have? Just a group of weaklings exploiting the prison's authority to do evil."

He slowly stood up.

With chaotic shadows fluctuating, a terrifying aura surged from Xu Huan's body.

He seemed to be soaked in the purest darkness.

That eternally gentle face, for the first time in his life, revealed a cruel and twisted wicked smile: "Then, let's stop the war with war."

One step forward.

The terrifying pressure belonging to the Ghost King descended upon the mountains.

Having just survived Ning Zheng's sea rampage, the Fang Family members looked up in fear.

It was an incredibly terrifying thing, as if the dominator of the food chain had descended upon this land.

Crack.

A figure appeared before his eyes.

"Xu Huan, we were friends back then, weren't we?" Fang Xi, the current heir of the Fang Family couldn't help but speak: "All of this, we were forced into..."

"Fang Xi?" Xu Huan licked his lips, revealing a bloodthirsty, dark wicked smile, "Yes, back then, you were the friend who discussed Tao with me, one of the masterminds behind everything."

Fang Xi's face changed suddenly.

...

...

In the battlefield of a distant wall.

Jian Xin slowly raised his head, his cold face flashing with complexity:

"Yes, I wasn't talking to a logical void from history back then; he was a real living person."

"He was a friend of ours in life."

"Unfortunately, all of us stood by watching him die."

He remained silent.

The isolation of the great formation was absolute, obscuring the distinction between living and dead, so at that time they naturally assumed he was an ancient historic sage from a prior era.

Habitual thinking caused them to create the tragedy of a hundred years ago.

Whether it was Jian Xin, the opposing Jiao Wuyu, or the hiding Li Youzhu, all wanted to compensate for the century-old events.

The Fang Family, and those shadowy figures behind them, they hoped for those people to pay the price.

...

...

Ning Zheng glanced at Xu Huan killing his way towards the Fang Family, showing no intention to stop him.

"Fang Xi? Chief Patrol Envoy? You wanted to steal the wine from our shop."

He chuckled.

Xu Huan is Great Perfection of the Two-Phase Realm, now awakened, he won't be outmatched by those Fang Family cultivators of the Two-Phase Realm.

On the contrary, they are even easier for Xu Huan to chase than Ning Zheng.

After all, Ning Zheng had already solved those who could quickly be resolved with violence.

What remained were those disgusting in their methods, adept in various escape techniques, slippery cultivators.

Too elusive.

After all, the powerhouses of this world are extremely difficult to kill.

Let Xu Huan do the killing; it's his area of expertise.

Ning Zheng began to continue controlling the flood to plunder the entire Fang Family's assets, why bother with chasing and fighting?

Soon, Ning Zheng donned ten rings, all with vast storage space, reaping rich rewards.

"As for those people in the tomb...they still need to gather strength again."

"Would they just watch me like this?"

Ning Zheng pondered, always feeling things wouldn't be that simple.

After all, he provoked them, and they wouldn't retaliate?

Not likely.

...

Scaly Gate.

Amidst the ruins, the Yunlai Shop selling meats.

A little girl sat on a chair, using burlap cloth to clean.

No one knows that the master of Scaly Gate has always been the little girl doing odd jobs in the Yunlai couple's shop.

No one has ever found her in a game of hide-and-seek.

Her childhood experiences have made her always vigilant and reserved.

It was precisely this habit that, after unleashing that attack with full force, she never revealed her true self again, escaping Ning Zheng's purge during his weakness.

"It's your turn; we can't persuade him."

A distant, low voice came through, "This is all your doing, and you should resolve it."

"I understand." A sigh responded.

Li Wanqi was cleaning, her expression absent-minded, as she looked at the enormous and vast aura outside the city walls, the figure of Xu Huan, and suddenly recalled events from a long, long time ago.

Belonging to her true 280,000 years ago.

On the square, the crowd was bustling.

Parents from various families were holding their children's hands, participating in the Immortal Inquiry test, while an elderly man with a celestial and immortal demeanor conducted the test in front of the stone monument.

In the center stood a gray stone monument, shining with mysterious patterns.

A group of children were lining up.

After receiving the results, some parents laughed while holding their children, some cried bitterly, and some even scolded their children. But her parents comforted her:

"Wan'Er, it's alright, it's okay not to have a Spiritual Root. I heard there's a scholar in the neighboring state who travels around spreading knowledge, opening Spiritual Roots..."

"You're naturally good at studying, you're simply a genius, you'll definitely be able to grow a Spiritual Root."

"Wan'Er... We've been discovered! We'll be killed by those Immortals!"

"I found a young beggar without a name on the street, I gave her cake, named her Gao, gave her leftovers every day from the back door, now let her die in your place..."

"Quickly leave, they're coming."

Her mother's voice gradually faded as she pushed her out the back door, "From today on, you're the little beggar Gao."

She could never forget the raging fire, the black smoke rolling in the shop.

A family of three burned to death in the shop.

She cut her face, disguised as a beggar, hiding among the crowd.

"Alas, the couple from the Yunlai Shop were good people, their daughter grew a Spiritual Root and was treated as a demon... burned alive."

"The shopkeeper at the Changfeng Tavern, wasn't he also kind and charitable? Later wasn't he too..."

"Shh, don't say it carelessly."

She hid, quietly participating in the Sect test.

"Li Wanqi, Middle Grade Water Spirit Root!"

Alone, she queued, amidst envious gazes, under the indifferent gaze of the old man, she placed her hand on that gray stone monument.

This area is controlled by a Sect known as the Primordial Sacred Land.

It is an incredibly ancient and long-standing Immortal Path Sect, led by a gentle and kind-hearted woman.

My Spiritual Root was mediocre, but my talent and ability were strong, after continuous effort, I became the new disciple of the Sect Leader, with two senior brothers and one junior sister.

I used to resent this world immensely, resented the Primordial Sacred Land, as an insider, led the new human race to launch an attack on the Mountain Gate.

I can never forget the day I laughed so heartily, the day my senior brothers and sisters showed surprise and anger, condemning me as ungrateful.

I embarked on a long journey for the new Human Race.

Following that man, through lush fields, overthrew the flourishing Immortal Sect, flattened ancient forbidden zones...

I liberated countless Mortals.

I brought laughter and joy to them, yet there was never any joy or change on my face because my happiness had vanished with those flames that day.

Over the course of over a hundred thousand years, we completely liberated the entire world.

I stopped in Xinyi State, on the land I conquered, I became one of the founding heroes of this Dynasty.

We detained war criminals from the former dynasty.

I carved scars of knives on my master's face, locked her in this prison.

"Master... that beggar who died for me, her name is Gao, from now on you'll be called that in prison."

I couldn't understand, at that time, Master's face was sorrowful and painful, yet there was no resentment, only endless pity.

Are you pitying me?

No, those who enslaved me, I will enslave them in return.

But why? Why is my heart so empty? I obviously changed everything? Then, I'll continue to enslave them as miners, to atone for the Human Race of our era.

Until the distant future, when I was still working in Yunlai Shop, that day a gentle-looking young man suddenly walked into the Yunlai Shop, spoke to my "parents," and spoke to the Changfeng Tavern's shopkeeper:

"You're alright, because I came, our Primordial Sacred Land won't prosecute you."

That figure entered from the sunlight outside, Xu Huan came with a sword:

"I will change this world, so two peoples can coexist peacefully."

How laughable.

A bred swine, not knowing what it truly is, said it would save me.

But in this Scaly Gate city repeating the trajectory of my life, it was the first time anyone saved the me who burned with my parents in the shop.

However...

What does it matter, he wasn't born in my time, and no one saved me then.

Time returns to the present.

"So, why did Xu Huan come to kill me, and I suddenly became half-awakened?"

She sat in the shop, lost in painful thought:

"Why, why..."

"What on earth is my obsession in life..."

Bang!

She abruptly stood up, constantly repeating everything:

"Seeing him want to kill me, why did I enter half-awakening?"

"What is my obsession...?"

Her entire body emitted a faint blue light, clearly sitting on that ordinary shop stool, yet it was as if she slowly stood up from a noble throne.

A violent water column rose into the sky, transforming into a curtain of rain.

"So, let's see whose rainwater is stronger."
