"It's him?" Chu Feng came to a realization. He naturally remembered the blind old man in the Everlasting Sea of Blood. He was the person who narrated the legend regarding the Fate Primogenitor which still remained fresh in Chu Feng's mind.

At that time, Chu Feng already felt that the old man was not simple at all, but he didn't expect him to be this powerful. Not only was Chu Feng himself saved, Eggy was saved at all.

Back then, Chu Feng could feel how weak Eggy was-she was even weaker than him and in an even more dangerous spot. Yet now, Eggy was not only this lively, she even refined all the Source Energy. It was definitely due to the old man that she was able to. So, at that moment, Chu Feng was truly filled with gratitude towards that person.

"Chu Feng, you're awake?" Just at that moment, another sweet voice rang out. A beautiful person was slowly walking towards Chu Feng.

Not only did he know that person, he was very familiar with her. This was Chu Yue of the Chu family. Right now, on her beautiful face, there was a smile of joy. She was also bringing over delicious dishes on her hands.

They were very special. Although small in amount, the dishes were filled with nutrients. Moreover, there were healing medicines included within the ingredients; clearly, they were prepared just for Chu Feng.

"Chu Yue, why are you also here?"

Chu Feng felt very happy when he saw Chu Yue. Back then, when he was facing various difficulties in the Chu Family and poorly treated, Chu Yue was the only person other than his father and elder brother who meant well for him.

But being happy was being happy-Chu Feng felt confused now. He had safely put Chu Yue and the others on one of the eastern continents. Yet why had she appeared here now?

MGA: Chapter 984 – Curing Zi Ling

"Chu Feng, not only have I come, many people who were in the continent of the Nine Provinces-even the Jiang Dynasty and the World Spirit Guild-have come. They've all been situated in the Misty Peak. We can live together like we did in the past!" Chu Yue's eyes squinted into two crescent moons as she gave a very beautiful smile.

"Sister Fuyan, what is going on?" Chu Feng didn't celebrate too soon; instead, in his eyes, there was a hint of anxiousness.

"Chu Feng, don't worry, it's like this..." Qiushui Fuyan seemed to know what Chu Feng was concerned about, so she quickly explained, "After Tantai Xue awoke, she immediately left. However, before departing, she told us we can continue living here because it was only an accident that she and Jiang Qisha and the others came to the Eastern Sea Region.

"It isn't that easy to come to the Eastern Sea Region from that place. Actually, it can be said to be impossible. Moreover, there won't be anyone in the Holy Land of Martialism who will want to come to a place like the Eastern Sea Region because in their eyes, this is no more than a landfill that has nothing.

"Moreover, no one knows about Jiang Qisha and Tantai Xue coming to the Eastern Sea Region, so there won't be anyone else from the Holy Land of Martialism who'll disturb us.

"After knowing about this, my mother decided to bring all our friends and families to the Misty Peak. Here, we can not only protect them, we can provide even better cultivation conditions. We can even borrow the Misty Peak's power to prolong their lives."

"I see."

Chu Feng now understood what had happened. So, his nervous heart was finally at ease. As Qiushui Fuyan said, what he worried was the Cursed Soil Sect's members coming to the Eastern Sea Region. At that time, they will most definitely know Jiang Qisha and the others were killed by him. And judging how the Cursed Soil Sect acted, anyone related to him would meet disaster.

However, if what Tantai Xue were true-the Cursed Soil Sect wouldn't come to the Eastern Sea Region-then everyone was fine. Moreover, as Qiushui Fuyan said, it would most definitely be many times better to have those with quite good relations with him to live in the Misty Peak rather than in the eastern continents.

"Sister Fuyan, how are they right now?" Chu Feng asked.

"With the assistance of your Crippling Night Demon Sect, is it not an easy task to build some floating palaces? Don't worry, everything's been set up well. Senior Qiu Canfeng has also led the Crippling Night Demon Sect to eradicate the remnants of the Immortal Execution Archipelago and the Three Great Monstrous Clans. He's also rebuilt the Crippling Night Demon Sect, and now, they've returned to their former prosperous era. They've become the overlord of the Eastern Sea Region once again and their positions are nearly unmovable.

"Even your position of sect head is recognized by all to be more powerful than the former sect head.

"It's because your potential is unlimited. Right now, it's even said that you're the person who's the most promising to become a Martial Emperor," Qiushui Fuyan said with a smile. There was even a hint of pride as she spoke those words.

"So many things have happened? How long was I asleep for?" Chu Feng asked.

"You've slept for three months and sixteen days," Qiushui Fuyan said.

"Three months and sixteen days?! Doesn't that mean the Heavenly Road that leads to the Holy Land of Martialism will open soon?" Chu Feng was clearly quite amazed as he had planned to go forth to the Holy Land of Martialism this year whenever the Heavenly Road opened.

"Yeah! It will open very soon. You were asleep for so long and we even thought you were going to miss it! But it seems that you don't need to wait another year.

"Also, I have another good news. After you learn of it, you will definitely be very happy." Qiushui Fuyan's smile became even more dazzling, and Chu Yue by her side was the exact same.

"What good news?" Chu Feng asked after giving the two of them a smile.

"Take a guess." Qiushui Fuyan's raised her brows lightly and her smile was even more beautiful.

"Eh... I got it." Chu Feng rolled his eyes a bit in a thinking manner before giving them a faint smile, seeming as if he already knew the answer.

Qiushui Fuyan very rarely played a joke. Yet, right now, not only was she doing exactly that, she was even smiling so beautifully. Chu Feng thus immediately thought of a possibility.

"Oh? Tell me what good news it is. If you're right, you'll get a prize!" When she saw Chu Feng's face of confidence, Qiushui Fuyan was instead a bit suspicious as she questioned him.

"If I'm not mistaken, Senior Huangfu Haoyue must have recovered his memories," Chu Feng said with a smile.

"Heavens, you truly did get it right!" Qiushui Fuyan's face changed after hearing Chu Feng's response. There was a hint of surprise on her smiling complexion.

"That means Senior Huangfu Haoyue has truly recovered his memories! Has he said anything about my ancestry?"

Chu Feng was also elated. Although he was confident with his answer, he was still quite ecstatic when Qiushui Fuyan gave him the confirmation. Huangfu Haoyue's memories were really too important to Chu Feng. This related to where he came from.

*rumble rumble rumble rumble-*

But just at that moment, rumbles came from the outside. Simultaneously, the white sky instantly turned pitch-black. Quickly after, purple layers of light flashed outside.

"She's succeeded." Qiushui Fuyan didn't hold a hint of worry when she saw that. Instead, she looked at Chu Feng and said, "Chu Feng, quick, let's go out and see."

Qiushui Fuyan first flew out and arrived at the entrance to the Misty Peak, heading outside. As for Chu Feng, he quickly followed her.

Only after coming outside did Chu Feng discover there were indeed several floating palaces built. They were not gorgeous, but they exuded a natural and essential feeling. It went quite well with the Misty Peak.

However, right now, what grabbed Chu Feng's attention the most was a single exquisite floating tower. There were many layers of people surrounding its exterior, and of those people, many were familiar faces.

Su Ruo, Su Mei, Jiang Wushang, Zhang Tianyi... nearly everyone Chu Feng knew was below the floating tower.

At that moment, the crowd's gazes were fixed on it. Moreover, there were expressions of surprise, admiration, and joy brimming from their faces.

At that very instant, the powerful strength emanating from the floating tower affected the world itself. The bright day turned into endless night.

The layers of purple glows also came from the floating tower. It was being unceasingly emitted and nearly filled the entire sky. Amidst that blinding and beautiful purple glow, one could faintly see something-a huge bell.

"Zi Ling cursed herself of the Heaven Gripping Pellet?"

There was also an indescribable excitement surging within Chu Feng's eyes. This was a phenomenon. Very clearly, the person who initiated this was Zi Ling. The Divine Body that had been sealed from birth was now, finally, unsealed.

The initial bright sky was now a shade of black.

However, it was not completely black because there were purple glows lingering in the sky. They were very dazzling.

They nearly covered the entire sky and one could simply see no end to them. The most important thing, though, was the faintly visible enormous bell within the glows. It gave people a feeling of destruction. It gave rise to fear and respect to it.

However, even though the phenomenon was very frightening, there was not a single person afraid. Instead, on their faces, there was excitement. Joy. They knew very well who this power originated from.

*hmm*

Finally, the phenomenon started shrinking. The purple glows surged back into the floating tower, and when it all vanished, the darkness in the sky faded away as well, returning to the vast white sky bright for a myriad of miles.

Shortly after the purple glows disappeared, the doors to the floating palace gradually opened. At that instant, a beautiful person slowly walked out.

It was a young woman with a purple dress. It simply matched perfectly with her delicate curves and beautiful face. She simply looked like a fairy who came down to the mortal world; her beauty was simply suffocating.

Naturally, such a pure and divine woman was Zi Ling. Moreover, she had a breakthrough in cultivation. She was now a Martial Lord from her initial cultivation in the Heaven realm. Although it was only rank one, there was no doubt she was a Martial Lord.

"Haha, Zi Ling, it's a success?" Su Rou, Su Mei, and the others all went up after Zi Ling appeared. They were emotional and excited as they awaited her confirmation.

"Mm." Zi Ling gave a moving smile as she faced the crowd's desire for the answer, then firmly nodded her head.

They were all thrilled. Their joyous emotions permeated this world, and everyone's emotions were great.

They've already seen the strength of a person with a Divine Body from Tantai Xue. Now, Zi Ling too had a Divine Body and her cultivation aptitude was now unsealed. Very soon, there would be a second Tantai Xue-possibly even a greater one.

"Chu Feng?" But when the crowd were surrounding Zi Ling and cheering endlessly, her expression changed as a cheerful expression emerged into her eyes.

Because she saw Chu Feng at the entrance of the Misty Peak.

Zi Ling leapt forward and flew towards Chu Feng.

"Chu Feng?"

Drawn by Zi Ling's movements, the crowd too discovered Chu Feng. When they saw him, their faces all lit up. They stood far away as Qiushui Fuyan and Chu Yue did. They, who were already overjoyed, felt even more excitement. They all rushed up and surrounded Chu Feng.

"Chu Feng, you've finally woken up! How do you feel? Any discomfort anywhere?" Zi Ling looked up and down, carefully examining Chu Feng, afraid there was anything bad they overlooked.

"Don't worry, I've completely healed." Chu Feng lightly smiled. He gently stroked Zi Ling's soft hair and said, "Zi Ling, congratulations. You've finally rid yourself of the Heaven Gripping Pellet's fetters."

"Rather than that, I'm more happy that you've woke up." Zi Ling's eyes glittered, then she suddenly leapt forward and entered Chu Feng's embrace.

He did not refuse it and even though there were many observers, Chu Feng still spread open his arms and hugged his little beauty by her waist.

No one hid their emotions when they saw that. Instead, the joy on their faces became even stronger because to them, this was a very rare reunion.

As Zi Ling said, in comparison to her being cured, Chu Feng's awakening was something much more worthy of celebration. That not only applied to Zi Ling but to everyone else.

When two joyous events occurred, naturally there had to be a banquet. On that day, everyone put down their work and raised their cups and drank in complete elation.

In the banquet, Chu Feng and Zi Ling undoubtedly became the main characters people focused on. However, Chu Feng was also observing the crowd. Amongst the familiar faces, he discovered a person who shouldn't be here-the First Immortal.

The former head of the Nine Immortals of the Immortal Execution Archipelago, in order to help Chu Feng, avoided the disaster of death and, as an exception, stayed in the Misty Peak.

That did seem like a decent ending but Chu Feng discovered in such a cheerful day, there weren't many happy expressions on his face. Instead, there was a hint of near undetectable worry and helplessness.

"Sister Fuyan, why don't I see Ya Fei?" Chu Feng asked Qiushui Fuyan amidst his confusion.

"This...

"Chu Feng, to be honest, Ya Fei's physical body has been destroyed. It will be very difficult to recreate it... Actually, my mother lied to the First Immortal," Qiushui Fuyan said.

"Lied to the First Immortal? That means Ya Fei hasn't been brought back to life?" Chu Feng felt quite surprised.

"He was lied to, and Ya Fei cannot be revived. However, she won't die. Although we're unable to rebuild her physical body, her Consciousness will not pass away in the Misty Peak. There will be no issues for her to continue surviving in this state," Qiushui Fuyan said.

"I see." Chu Feng seemed to understand why the First Immortal felt so helpless. By his nature, there was no chance he'd stay in the Misty Peak. However, he did all because of his granddaughter.

Chu Feng felt a bit guilty in his heart. Although his dealings with the First Immortal hadn't been too much, if it weren't for him, it would have been nearly impossible for Chu Feng to have cultivated the Immortal Transference Mysterious Technique. Even more so, it'd be impossible to defeat Jiang Qisha and Murong Mingtian.

Now, they were victorious. They defeated all their enemies in the Eastern Sea Region, so he had to say that the First Immortal had helped out quite a bit.

But they were unable to keep true to their former promise. How could Chu Feng not blame himself? Especially after recalling that the First Immortal betrayed his own force for his granddaughter yet still unable to bring her back to live, Chu Feng felt even more guilty.

At that moment, Chu Feng hiddenly made a decision. If he had accomplishments in cultivation in the future, then he would definitely return to the Eastern Sea Region and help Ya Fei rebuild her body. He would return this favour to the First Immortal.

"Senior First Immortal, I express my apologies regarding Ya Fei." After his resolution, Chu Feng came up to the First Immortal and bowed with a remorseful complexion.

"It's unrelated to you, nor do I blame Lady Piaomiao. After all, if it weren't for her, my granddaughter wouldn't have survived. Although it is only a Consciousness, at least she's still here to chat with me." The First Immortal shook his head.

"Senior, don't worry. This world is so big; there are all sorts of mystical techniques. When I enter the Holy Land of Martialism, I will gather information on this matter. I believe I will find the method to revive Ya Fei," Chu Feng swore gravely.

The First Immortal's face instantly froze. Then, an indescribable expression of gratitude emerged into his eyes. He didn't say anything and just kept nodding his head. Only after doing that for a good while did he say, "Then I'll wait for the day you return."

The First Immortal celebrated secretly. He knew what sort of potential and talent Chu Feng had. Since such words were spoken, he felt that Chu Feng would definitely stay true to his word. There was hope for his granddaughter's resurrection.

"Chu Feng." Just at that moment, a male's call rang out

He couldn't help but be taken aback when he turned around and looked. He discovered there were a man and woman standing behind him. One was beautiful and moving-Qiushui Fuyan. The other was large and mighty-Huangfu Haoyue.

"Chu Feng, I want to talk to you about a few thing alone. Do you have time?" Huangfu Haoyue said with a faint smile.

MGA: Chapter 986 – The Place of Meeting

"Senior Huangfu, we finally meet again." Chu Feng's heart was filled with incomparable excitement. He couldn't help but reveal a smile of insuppressible joy.

Huangfu Haoyue wore a light smile on his face. He first said to Qiushui Fuyan, "Fuyan, wait for me here," then cast his gaze towards Chu Feng and said, "Chu Feng, follow me."

*whoosh*

After speaking, Huangfu Haoyue rose into the air. Chu Feng followed and the both of them flew into the distance and soon disappeared into the faraway horizon.

Everyone held some concern regarding this matter. The crowd revealed complicated expressions because they knew the upcoming conversation was of utmost importance to Chu Feng.

They continued flying and only when they felt they were far from the clamour did they stop in a location where they could not be seen.

After stopping, Huangfu Haoyue started to carefully examine Chu Feng. The expressions in his eyes were very complicated; there were some unspeakable ones. Then, after a long while, he nodded and said, "You've grown up. My mission should be considered completed."

"Senior Huangfu, are you able to tell me the truth now?" Chu Feng asked, unable to help himself.

"Truth? You're referring to where and who I brought you from to the continent of the Nine Provinces?" Huangfu Haoyue asked with a smile.

"I want to know everything. After you entered the Heavenly Road until you left the Heavenly Road-everything that happened during that time," Chu Feng said.

"Mm. If you truly want to know, then I really do have to start from the beginning." Huangfu Haoyue lightly smiled. He took a deep breath, then exhaled. He started speaking.

"Back then, the Burning Heaven Church ventured into the Heavenly Road. We wanted to enter the Holy Land of Martialism and seek a better path in cultivation.

"However, we underestimated the Heavenly Road. There were obstructions in there, and those obstructions brought heavy losses to the Burning Heaven Church. Everyone-millions of members-died. I, however, survived."

"Obstruction? Killings? What was it? Senior Huangfu, what did you meet in the Heavenly Road?" Chu Feng asked.

"I can't really put my finger on what it was. However, since you're preparing to enter the Heavenly Road, I must remind you that it is not easy to pass." Huangfu Haoyue first heaved a sigh, then said, "Actually, the reason we dared to venture into the Heavenly Road was because we held a certain amount of confidence. One of our Burning Heaven Church's ancestor saw a stone tablet in an ancient remains. On it the secret of the Heavenly Road was written.

"If one enters the Heavenly Road, they walk against the heavens. Those who enter take half a step in death and half in life; those who retreat are absolutely dead.

"That was what the stone tablet wrote. Chu Feng, do you know what that means?" Huangfu Haoyue asked.

"'If one enters the Heavenly Road, they walk against the heavens. Those who enter take half a step in death and half in life; those who retreat are absolutely dead.'?" Chu Feng repeated. Then, he said, "If I'm not mistaken, the former part means the Heavenly Road is the path that leads to the Holy Land of Martialism. It's impossible that everything goes smoothly as its difficulty is very high-it's unimaginable.

"As for the latter part, it might be reminding that there is no retreat inside the Heavenly Road. If one courageously advances, they will have a chance to enter the heavens-the Holy Land of Martialism. However, if they hold cowardice in their hearts and thus retreat, they will only walk towards death and die within the Heavenly Road."

"That's right. You are absolutely correct. Within the Heavenly Road, the first half was very calm, leading to a false sense of ease. As we walked, we even felt hope for the future.

"But when we reached the middle, many unknown creatures appeared. They were very odd. I can't say for certain what they were, but they were very powerful and also very terrifying.

"They were large in numbers and they sealed off the vast path forward. They pressed forward and wanted to tear us all apart.

"There is only one way to pass through those unknown creatures-to advance with faith and courage. If there is even a single hint of fear in one's heart, they would be engulfed by those creatures. However, if one retains no fear, then those monsters cannot do anything.

"Yet, when facing such terrifying things, it is really too difficult to remain calm and cast away the terror in one's heart.

"Even though we had specially trained before entering the Heavenly Road, when it was reality, a large portion of us had lost their minds.

"Seventy percent were horrified by those monsters. They forget the pope's lessons as they turned around and ran. But in the end, they were still caught by those creatures and lost their lives.

"The rest chose to continue forth bravely. But there were really too few who held no fear in their hearts. Of the thirty percent remaining, only one percent survived amidst the wave of the unknown creatures.

"But shortly after passing through the creatures, another wave faced us. They were, however, different from the previous ones.

"On the surface, the level of might and terror they brought was less than the first wave of creatures. However, they weren't existences we could deal with.

"So, since we were able to pass through the first wave of monsters despite how terrifying they were, we assumed it wasn't hard to pass through the second wave. After all, on the surface, no matter numbers of power, the second wave was lesser than the first.

"But we were wrong. Although they appeared inferior, the second wave's demands were actually much harsher.

"Perhaps... our fear hadn't been cleansed completely, so we were attacked by the second wave.

"This time, they started massacring us. They were merciless. Our pope led the way and was ruthlessly killed. Quickly afterwards, everyone received a fatal blow.

"Those monsters were too terrifying. We stood no chance against them, nor could we pass through them. Before such frightened emotions and desire to survive, I gave up on the thought to fearless advance. I chose to escape.

"As I fled in panic, I stumbled upon an area. I will never forget that place." Huangfu Haoyue's breathing starting becoming erratic and even the expression in his eyes became unstable.

Chu Feng didn't probe him to quickly answer as that place had affected Huangfu Haoyue greatly. So, Chu Feng waited for him to continue.

"The feeling of that place was very special and I really can't describe it. No matter the style of the buildings or the aura of its entirety, it gave people a very dark feeling and casts uneasiness onto them. Using terrifying to describe that place is quite suitable."

"But... If you want me to truly describe the feeling I received from that place, although the description is only one word as well, terrifying is absolutely not it-it would be holy." Huangfu Haoyue gave a bitter smile, then looked at Chu Feng and said, "That is where you and I met."

MGA: Chapter 987 – Thank You

Chu Feng's heartbeat instantly sped up. Although he appeared calm, a storm stirred inside his heart because the place Huangfu Haoyue was now talking about was the place Chu Feng came from.

"Senior Huangfu, what did you see there?" asked Chu Feng. He was truly impatient to find out what sort of people were at that location. Were they his parents? Was his family there? Or perhaps something else had happened?

"Ah..." Huangfu Haoyue let out a long sigh, seeming as if there was some sort of trouble he could not speak of. Only then did he say, "I, Huangfu Haoyue, have even gone into an Imperial Tomb. No matter if others have seen it before or if they haven't, from ancient times, I have seen quite a few of the so-called big spectacles.

"However, it was the first time I saw a place like that. The holy feeling it exuded was suffocating. It was not only simple fear, it was veneration originating from my entire being. Such a feeling made me want to stop, as I did not dare to step in.

"However, since there were monsters aiming for my life behind me, I had no choice but to enter. At that place, I saw a man.

"That man..." Huangfu Haoyue suddenly swallowed his words. He cast his gaze towards Chu Feng and his eyes were now glittering with emotions. His firmness was no more, and replacing it were indescribable complex emotions and fear.

If it must be described, it was an emotion filled with panic, fear, and paranoia.

"Senior Huangfu, are you okay?" Chu Feng was a bit worried. He knew that the memories from that period had too great of an effect on Huangfu Haoyue's mental state.

Huangfu Haoyue's body trembled slightly after hearing his words, then he came to his senses. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Actually, when I saw that man, my awareness was blurred. I don't remember his face, but I feel that yours is very similar to his.

"That feeling's very strange... In my mind, I clearly have no recollection of his appearance, but when I see you, I feel that you look very similar to him." Huangfu Haoyue smiled because even he himself felt this was something amusing.

"Chu Feng, this Huangfu Haoyue must have seen your father. Other than him, who else would look that similar to you?

"The reason why he doesn't remember your father's appearance yet feels you look like your father is because his memories have been messed with. A true expert can affect one's memories without them even knowing by blurring their awareness.

"This segment of memory is a fearful and blurry one. He doesn't dare to recall it because he's afraid. Quickly ask him what came afterwards. You cannot allow him to recollect his memories and you must finish your questions quickly. Otherwise, there will be damage dealt to his body and there's even a possibility that returns to insanity," Eggy suddenly reminded.

"Senior Huangfu, what came next? After you saw that man, what happened?" Chu Feng quickly asked.

"It's a bit shameful to say... Although I couldn't see his appearance clearly, I was terrified by him. Do you know what was the first thing I did after I saw him?" Huangfu Haoyue asked Chu Feng.

Chu Feng shook his head and asked, "What is it?"

"Before he even said anything, I knelt. I didn't only kneel, I even kowtowed and begged him.

"Although I, Huangfu Haoyue, am not any great person, I am not a cowardly person. In my entire life, there are very few people who I've kowtowed and knelt to-no one else other than my parents and my master.

"Before that, even if you beat me to death I wouldn't believe that one day, I, Huangfu Haoyue, would beg someone so I could live.

"However, on that day, I did indeed do that. I remember it clearly. How lowly I was, yet how willing." Huangfu Haoyue gave a bitter chuckle, then continued, "I was really afraid of that man. That fear came from the bottom of my heart. It was like a commoner seeing a god. That sort of reverence was impossible to resist.

"But actually, that man didn't do anything bad to me. He never threatened nor harmed me. Instead, he was quite benevolent. He entrusted you to me, and he told me to bring you out of the Heavenly Road and in turn entrust you to a family named Chu. He named you Chu Feng and told me to protect you until you grew up.

"I agreed; I didn't dare to refuse. I felt I had no choice but to agree, and after that... I felt my vision blur. When it returned to normal, I had come back to the Eastern Sea Region. I'm sure you know what happened later on. After I returned, my mental state started deteriorating.

"Although that man had never scared nor threatened me, I myself felt I had to finish this mission. Otherwise, he would kill me. That's what I felt. As for death, I do not fear it much, but when I recalled he was going to kill me, I felt endless terror.

"I knew very well I had been broken from fright. I knew I would go mad. However, I couldn't control my fate. I was that powerless.

"Before turning insane, I went to see Fuyan. I told her not to enter the Heavenly Road. Afterwards, I went to the continent of the Nine Provinces and wanted you to settle down there.

"Actually, there are quite a few clans named Chu in the Eastern Sea Region, but I didn't dare to put you there. I knew my time was short and I would lose the power to protect you soon. I couldn't be certain whether you could safely grow up in a place like that.

"That's why I brought you to the continent of the Nine Provinces and chose a small family. I felt, by my threats, they would not dare to treat your poorly due to the overwhelming fear they'd feel.

"And after entrusting you to the Chu family, I hiddenly monitored them for a while until... until I was truly unable to control myself. Only then did I leave, because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to control myself and harm you after going insane.

"I'm sure you know what came later," Huangfu Haoyue said.

"Senior, do you remember the place you talked about? The position in the Heavenly Road where you met the man?" Chu Feng asked.
