Back then, her master suddenly disappeared. After entrusting the Brahma Sect to Mu Fan, she traveled all over the world to search for her master's whereabouts.

There was no news at all; it was as if her master had vanished into thin air. But she never thought of coming to the temple to look for him.

She always felt that her master was so powerful, with cultivation even surpassing Di Qing's, that no one could possibly harm him.

The reason for his disappearance might simply be that he found a place to cultivate in seclusion, and his master did not reappear for over a hundred years.

But why does this place have the master's aura?

Liu Yue landed slowly and walked deeper into the cave. The temperature around her was getting higher and higher, but there was a familiar scent in the air.

Liu Yue suppressed her excitement.

Ahead lay a river of lava, with a black aura swirling around it.

Further ahead, the temperature is high enough to scorch.

Liu Yue stopped and suddenly noticed a shrine standing not far to her right.

There was a stone statue enshrined there. When Liu Yue got closer, she realized that the stone statue looked very much like her master.

Liu Yue frowned and raised her hand to cover the stone statue.

A hot yet familiar scent wafted from my fingertips.

"Master?"

Liuyue's voice trembled uncontrollably.

A wisp of spiritual energy emanated from the stone statue and danced at her fingertips.

Liu Yue's eyes lit up, and she gathered her profound energy, merging it into the stone statue.

"Master? I know it's you!"

"You brat."

A familiar voice rang out from above.

Liu Yue looked up, saw the person who had arrived, and clenched her fists tightly. "Master, why are you on the Holy Mountain? Is it because..."

Thinking of one possibility, Liu Yue clenched her fists so tightly they cracked: "It's that bastard Di Qing, isn't it?"

Looking across the entire Nine Provinces continent, there are very few who can outwit their master.

That bastard Di Qing is treacherous and cunning. It must have been Di Qing who did this to Master!

"You brat, it's been so many years, but your mouth hasn't changed a single bit."

Brahma looked at Jun Liuyue with loving eyes; to be precise, this was just a wisp of Brahma's divine soul.

Approaching his disciple, he said, "Your mark..."

When he left, he left a mark on this girl.

It can protect her soul when she is on the verge of death!

But now, that mark has vanished!

In other words, this girl has been on the verge of death once.

"Who did this?!"

A flash of anger crossed his kind face.

"How can that bastard Di Qing be so useless?!" He can't even protect his own daughter?

If he hadn't kept a secret, left a mark, wouldn't his only apprentice have been...?

Thinking of this, Brahma was secretly alarmed.

"Diqing?"

Liu Yue looked at her master with a puzzled expression.

"Back then, the miasma on the sacred mountain erupted again..."

The barrier could no longer hold, so Brahma Saint Venerable and Emperor Qing came to the Holy Mountain to search for a sealing method. There was only one way to suppress this miasma.

However, a highly skilled cultivator is needed to create the array, using himself as the key to suppress this overwhelming miasma.

Brahma Saint Venerable chose to become the core of this formation because he could not stand by and watch the people of the Nine Provinces live in misery.

Before becoming the core of this formation, the only thing he couldn't let go of was his little apprentice.

Although I know that Liuyue is quite strong, she is still just a little girl.

She's not very shrewd; if this little girl knew she had become the core of the formation, she would be very upset.

Therefore, he asked Di Qing to tell Liu Yue that he had simply gone to travel the world.

He also entrusted Di Qing to take good care of Liu Yue. He knew that Liu Yue had the blood of a different race and was not favored by Di Qing, but no matter what, Di Qing was still the girl's biological father.

Given his own entrustment, Di Qing, out of respect for him, would probably protect Liu Yue in her time of need, right?

After that, the Holy Venerable Brahma sacrificed his divine soul, which became the core of the formation and transformed into the array.

"..."

After listening to her master's words, Liuyue clenched her fists.

Their hatred for Di Qing was boundless!

"So, girl, tell your master, why did your soul-protecting mark disappear? Who did it?"

Brahma Saint Venerable imparted all his skills to Liuyue.

And with the Brahma Sect, who else could possibly harm her? Besides, she has Emperor Qing protecting her.

Liu Yue suppressed her anger and recounted everything that had happened over the years.

"What!?"

Upon hearing his little disciple's words, the Holy Venerable Brahma was so angry that he almost lost his mind.

"You mean Di Qing stole your divine bones for Di Qingluan? And trapped you with a life-and-death formation?"

"Yes." Liu Yue nodded. "If it weren't for Master's soul-protecting mark, which allowed my soul to escape to a lower continent and be reborn, I'm afraid I wouldn't be standing here today."

"This is outrageous! This is absolutely outrageous! Even tigers don't eat their cubs! Has Di Qing gone mad?!"

Brahma was furious.

You can know a person's face but not their heart.

Emperor Qing even goes against his own bloodline? Just because this girl has a different bloodline?

He even made his little apprentice a stepping stone for Di Qingluan?

Brahma Saint Venerable knew about Emperor Qingluan back when he was choosing his disciples.

Di Qing desperately wanted Di Qingluan to become his disciple, but he could tell at a glance that Di Qingluan was wicked and lacked talent.

Even if he takes Di Qingluan as his disciple, with her aptitude, she won't amount to much.

Brahma Saint Venerable thought that no one could catch his eye in this lifetime, but at this moment he discovered the pitiful Jun Liuyue.
