It turns out that all these years, I've been raised by my enemy, who has instilled in me day after day the idea that everything should revolve around the Xu family.

How could I possibly be as shameless as described in the book, to fall madly in love with the enemy who killed my entire clan, and to feel the warmth of a home?

Yes, but it was a deep-seated hatred. Xu Xiao and Xu Fengqing were nothing more than wolves in sheep's clothing; the only people they ever loved were themselves.

Jiang Qingluan rolled down her sleeves and calmly recounted the events of that year.

At the same time, sprinkle a pot of water on a patch of spiritual flowers.

"Therefore, from the moment I learned the truth, I decided to avenge my Jiang clan, especially after all these years..."

The things the Xu family did to the people and soldiers of Sichuan and Chongqing can only be described as heinous and ruthless.

Their so-called love for the people is nothing but a carefully crafted lie that can deceive the masses, but how could it possibly deceive me?

Finally, when the Great Wilderness once again went to war with Bashu, I took action against the Xu family. Unfortunately, my abilities were limited, and I was unable to exterminate the entire Xu clan.

The only way is to eliminate Xu Xiao, the culprit, and injure Xu Fengqing before escaping the Holy Domain.

By using royal blood as a sacrifice to activate the curse, a curse was placed upon the entire Xu family, forbidding them from living past a hundred years, even if their cultivation reached the highest level.

From that day forward, Jiang Ni ceased to exist; only the Azure Phoenix Empress, now reigning over the Jade Pool, remained.

Mu Qiuyao remained silent for a long time: "So, I think I understand now. The Xu family must have come to find you to lift the curse. Why were you willing to be taken back to the Holy Domain by them in your previous life?"

"Because of the relinquishment of the divine seal."

Jiang Qingluan sighed.

"In truth, Xu Xiao would never truly trust me. He planted an indelible mark of divine retribution within me when I was young."

Once the Xu family activates this seal, my body, mind, and soul will be completely out of my control.

"The Divine Seal?" Shen Zhao asked in surprise. "Is that the puppet technique that can control a person's consciousness?"

Mu Qiuyao smiled sarcastically upon hearing this: "Why don't you help her remove the Heart-Slaying Mark, boy? You could use the Ten Thousand Paths Slave Codex."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingluan's eyes lit up: "You, can you really help me remove the God-Slaying Seal?"

"It's possible, but it's inconvenient."

Shen Zhao shook his head.

Mu Qiuyao got anxious when she heard this: "Kid, what are you making excuses for now? What do you mean by inconvenient? What's inconvenient about it? Tell me!"

"You can eradicate all the 'slave scriptures,' so how could this small 'heart-relinquishing seal' be so difficult for you?"

Shen Zhao said, "The one who has the divine seal in the middle must have been cursed in the heart. To remove it, one must strip naked and soak in the spirit pool to be completely honest with the person. How do you expect me to remove it?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingluan opened her lips as if to say something, but in the end, she blushed and said nothing.

"I thought it would be much harder, but it's just this easy?"

Mu Qiuyao was instantly annoyed.

"At worst, you can help her remove the God-Slaying Seal and then take her in."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingluan was so embarrassed that she remained silent.

"Enough already, what the hell are you thinking about every day?"

Shen Zhao was speechless.

"Now that we know the reason behind this, it's time to get down to business."

"What important matter is it?"

Mu Qiuyao was puzzled.

Shen Zhao's lips curled up slightly: "Naturally, it's those few vermin outside the Yaochi Holy Land. I don't care about the others, but I will definitely kill Xu Suiyan."

"What? Xu Suiyan has already arrived outside the Yaochi Sacred Land?"

Jiang Qingluan gripped her gauze skirt tightly, momentarily at a loss.

Mu Qiuyao: "Don't be afraid, little sister. We're all in this together now."

This kid beat Xu Suiyan half to death, killed two of his cronies, and I took care of one of them as well.

So, your problem is now our problem too. Since we've already fallen out, let's just settle it once and for all.

Shen Zhao rarely agreed with Mu Qiuyao's words: "You're right. Since we've already torn off the mask, let's go all the way."

"First, deal with these bastards, then go to the Holy Land and slaughter that bunch of beasts from the Xu family. That way, the whole family should be wiped out."
