Tong Nian brought Ye Xiao inside her house and went down to the second floor. There were many maids doing their work.

What surprised Ye Xiao was that even the weakest of the maid here was a Ruler. One could imagine the importance given to the Holy Lady in the Tong Family.

While bringing Ye Xiao to the guest room, Tong Nian told Ye Xiao everything that happened after she ascended to the Divine Realm. After completing her story, she raised her eyes to look at Ye Xiao, and asked: "Do you know what kind of life a Holy Lady like me lives?"

Seeing Ye Xiao not giving any response, she said: "Others might think the status of Holy Lady is very novel and I can get whatever I want, but this is not true!"

"Although I can enjoy resources that others can't even imagine obtaining or even seeing, I'm like a toy in control of others. The higher-ups of the Tong Family can control me as they want. If they want me to die, I have to die."

"Fortunately, my bloodline is close to my ancestors. That's why I gained the status of Holy Lady. This way, at least the family will never force me to marry someone. I have to stay unmarried for my entire life, discarding my own feelings."

When Tong Nian said the last sentence, she sighed deeply. Although she never had feelings for others, not even for Ye Xiao, it doesn't mean she doesn't want to get married or love someone.

But this wish of hers can't be fulfilled, at least not until she becomes unrivaled in the Tong Family. At that time, she can overthrow the throne of the Tong Family and do what she wants.

It is not Ye Xiao's place to say anything in this matter, but he still offered his help, saying: "Big Sis Nian, if you want help, you can tell me. Believe me when I say I have the strength to help you. Even the entire Tong Family together won't be able to stop me."

"You see, I have already comprehended the Law of Space to perfection. I can teleport you anywhere you want, and might even go to some other world."

Tong Nian shook her head and laughed bitterly, saying: "Do you think Tong Family is where fools live?"

"What do you mean?" Ye Xiao asked in confusion.

Tong Nian replied: "I mean, do you really think the Tong Family never expected me to run away and hide in some other world?"

Ye Xiao did not say anything this time. It is because he indeed didn't think about this situation.

Tong Nian continued to speak: "They have placed a restriction on me known as Blood Curse. As long as I dared to even think of betraying the family or running away, they can trigger the Blood Curse, making me experience the pain of being bitten by countless worms from inside, and this pain will eventually reach the soul. And when that'll happen, my soul will be destroyed!"

Ye Xiao was startled. He didn't expect Tong Family to be this cruel. Just to not let Tng Nian run away, they actually resorted to this matter.

But it doesn't matter though.Who is he?

He is someone who has memories of the Ancient Pill God. He can refine a pill that could break the Blood Curse easily, and erase its existence from Tong Nian's body completely, without alerting the higher-ups of the Tong Family.

He then told Tong Nian about this and assured her that he will return with the pill someday, and at that time, she could go anywhere she want, and there won't be anyone to stop her.

Currently, he doesn't have the ingredients needed to refine the Pill that could remove the Blood Curse, so he has to first gather the ingredients.

When Tong Nian heard Ye Xiao, she was surprised. However, when she remembered how Ye Xiao found a miraculous drop of greenish liquid that immediately healed Ye Xiao's master, she believed in him. She has seen Ye Xiao creating many miracles. One of them was making the Sea Dragon Spear recognize him as its owner, and breaking the seal placed on the Sea Dragon Spear.

This was, in no way, a small feat.

After spending some more time with Tong Nian, Ye Xiao said goodbye and left using his teleportation ability.

His next target was the Ji Family, the Ancient Family that survived the war and massacre of the Ancient Era.

Ji Family was also known as the Heavenly Eye Clan.

The Grand Elder of the Destiny Dao Sect had given him Ji Yanran's location. Ji Yanran was staying with her family, thus he received the location of Heavenly Eye Clan.

Ye Xiao's next destination was exactly the Heavenly Eye Clan, the famous Ji Family.

.....

In the endless space of the Divine Realm, somewhere far away from the world where Tong Family is located, a small semi-circular land was floating. In fact, this semi-circular land was a world, bigger than the world of the Upper Realm.

Somewhere in this world, there was a town.

This was nighttime, and a loud thunder roared heavily into the sky. A flash of lightning broke the dark sky.

The thick and thunderous clouds filled the heavens with a clear indication of a disastrous storm, pressing down on the land. Both land and the heavens were surrounded by darkness.

A desolated weeping sound of deep anguish and misfortune made every living creature who heard it feel like their hearts were being ripped from their chest, as fast as a thunderclap.

Two Crimson Flame Tigers were slowly approaching through Heaven Gate Town which was immensely covered with black and heavy clouds. They were pulling a huge carriage which was purple-gold in color, like royalty.

The heavy purple-gold carriage created two lines of deep marks on the ancient road.

A white jade coffin could be seen inside the carriage. It was wrapped in a hazy veil of white light.

A handsome-looking young man with bloodshot eyes stood beside the coffin. His hands were tightly clasped. His face was filled with mystery, pain, and reluctance.

"Purple Sun Sect! My brother passed away in your sect without a clear justification. His bloodline was extracted from his body, and even his Inner World was destroyed. And you are saying all this was done was a God-levelled Demonic Beast! How could this be possible?"

"It is clearly you guys who killed my brother and extracted the bloodline running within his body. He obtained the Divine Shadow Ghost Bloodline by going through countless difficulties, enduring unbearable pains, and dealing with numerous life-threatening dangers. It was his fortune, but not only did you guys rob my brother of his fortune, but you also killed him. I will never forgive you!"

"My brother was an inner disciple of your sect, but he was killed. Do you really think he doesn't have anyone backing him? I will avenge my brother, I will destroy your sect."

The handsome-looking you man raised his head, and stored the coffin in his spatial ring before walking out of the carriage. Then he walked toward the Purple Sun Sect.

When he arrived at the location, the dark night was about to turn into a day. The sky was still slightly bright, and he had already arrived in front of the entrance of the Purple Sun Sect.

A few disciples of the Purple Sun Sect were guarding the entrance. Che Long walked in openly, but he was stopped by those disciples.

"Stop right there! Where did you come from? How dare you barge into the Purple Sun Sect?"

One of the disciples had reached the Nine Mark Heavenly Divine Lord. When he saw Che Long walk into the sect with no regard for anyone, he waved the long whip in his hand at Che Long.

"Get lost!"

However, Che Long didn't even turn his head. He flicked his finger in the direction of the sound of the whip. The disciple who was waving the long whip immediately lay on the ground and died.

The other disciples of the Purple Sun Sect were stunned when they saw this scene. Initially, they wanted to stop Che Long, but now, they stopped moving as if they were petrified.

Che Long entered the Purple Sun Sect. He casually grabbed a disciple of the Purple Sun Sect and asked him where the Sect Leader was.

The disciple had an arrogant expression on his face. He didn't care about Che Long at all. He even planned to fight Che Long.

However, Che Long didn't give him a second chance. Che Long struck him with his palm, making him die in a daze.

Che Long's arrogance had shocked the other disciples.

However, before they could regain their senses, Che Long had already disappeared from everyone's sight.

When Che Long reappeared, he had already arrived in front of a specific room in the core area of Purple Sun Sect. In the room, Che Long saw a familiar face.

This was a middle-aged man whose face was covered with scars, and his eyes were filled with coldness. He was the Vice Sect Leader of the Purple Sun Sect, Gu Dao.
