Junjing's eyes were full of love. These three days had passed too quickly. If only this moment could last forever.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was the third day, and night fell.

"Jun Jing, are you crazy? Do you know how serious the consequences will be if you open that chasm?"

A dark aura swirled around the man, emitting a low, menacing sound.

"I know."

"You want to release the Demon King? For a daughter you haven't seen for over ten years? What about the bigger picture! Jun Jing, you're so foolish!"

"Jun Jing, you have truly disappointed me! If you really do this, what will your years of perseverance amount to? What will the sacrifices of us old folks amount to? In the end, countless lives will be lost, and Canglan will be reduced to a living hell!"

The voice came with a tone of disappointment and frustration, but it was just a remnant soul, and even if it knew what Jun Jing was going to do next, it couldn't stop him.

"senior."

Behind him, a girl's clear voice rang out. The remnant soul wanted to say something, but Jun Jing swept his sleeve and the remnant soul disappeared.

Jun Jing turned around and looked at Liu Yue, "Miss Jun."

"Do you know me?" Liu Yue asked bluntly from the first moment she saw him.

There was a strange sense of familiarity.

Upon hearing this, Jun Jing's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't show it on her face. "Miss Jun, what makes you say that?"

"Or do you know my father, Junjing?"

Those shimmering eyes stared straight into Jun Jing's eyes.

Jun Jing hurriedly tried to look away, but a clear voice rang out again, "Why are you avoiding my gaze, senior? Did I guess right?"

Liu Yue stepped forward, "Or perhaps..."

“That’s right.” Jun Jing interrupted Liu Yue and nodded. “I do know your father. Jun Jing, back then, your father was my senior brother.”

Where is he now?

“Little girl, your father has long since passed away.” Jun Jing sighed.

"Senior, you said you were sealed here sixteen years ago, and my father was also framed and died on the battlefield sixteen years ago. Isn't that too much of a coincidence?"

Jun Liuyue stepped forward, pressing closer with each step, exuding a powerful aura.

Junjing never imagined that he would be exposed. For the past three days, he has been trying his best to pretend and control his emotions.

Where exactly did things go wrong? How did this little girl discover the clues?

Jun Jing had thought Jun Liuyue was smart, but he didn't expect... she was even smarter than he imagined.

"You are Junjing, are you right?"

"No." Junjing shook his head.

The remnant soul chuckled coldly in Jun Jing's ear; "Your daughter is much smarter than you."

“Your father died a long time ago. I know you hate your father, but…”

“Wrong.” Liu Yue didn’t press forward any further, but took two steps back and scoffed, “My father, Jun Jing, fought for the people of Tianyan. He was a hero. Why should I hate him? Having him is my pride! At least my father wasn’t a coward or a shrinking turtle.”

Upon hearing this, Junjing was shocked.

He looked at Jun Liuyue in disbelief.

He then murmured, "If your father knew your opinion of him, he would be very happy."

The heavy weight on his heart seemed to disappear at that moment, and Junjing let out a long sigh of relief.

“But he’s dead, he won’t hear it anymore, will he?” Liu Yue stared straight at Jun Jing.

"If he could know this from beyond the grave."

Jun Jing looked away, not daring to meet Liu Yue's gaze, afraid that he would give himself away.

The real Junjing died more than a decade ago...

Rumble—A sliver of golden light pierced through the chasm on the horizon.

It's midnight.

————-

"Hahaha, I overestimated Jun Jing." The Demon King laughed arrogantly as he watched the sealing power binding him gradually weaken. "Almost there! Just one more step and I'll see the light of day again!!"

It had waited seventeen years for this day!

It has been sealed in this wretched place for seventeen years, seventeen years!

Its rage is enough to engulf the entire Canglan Continent.

A loud rumble echoed as the ground shook violently.

This commotion caught Yan Qi's attention.

"Your Excellency, I have searched the entire Heavenly Realm Island and found no suspicious persons!"

Time passed by, minute by minute.

When the time comes, that evil spirit outside Tianjing Island might really raze the entire island to the ground!

"Hahaha." Yan Qi burst into laughter.

"No need to look anymore. He's just a greenhorn. I don't need to take him seriously." Yan Qi sneered contemptuously.

Once the Demon Lord breaks free from the seal, let alone one Yin Ming, even five or ten Yin Mings would be no problem!

-

A fierce wind swept through, dust and sand flew everywhere, and the three of them were right in the eye of the storm.

Junjing looked up at the location of the crack and formed a hand seal.

A ray of golden light pierced through his palm.

A tiny crack was torn open in the sealed sky. Upon seeing this, Liu Yue formed a hand seal and channeled spiritual energy into the crack, which gradually widened.

"Jun Jing, you're a madman!" The remnant soul frantically circled around Jun Jing, but Jun Jing seemed not to see it.

Once the passage was formed, he gave a low shout: "Go!"

Jun Liuyue leaped into the air and arrived at the whirlpool, turning back to look at Jun Jing.

Aren't you leaving?

Her voice was carried away by the wind, but it still reached Junjing's ears.
