Find the traitor in the Sunrise Realm and destroy the black water that can rot the roots of the mother tree.

Nothing is easy.

To betray the Sun Realm right under the noses of so many powerful ancestors in the Sun Realm, one could only be another powerful ancestor.

One, or more.

It is ironic that the Mother Tree only assigned this important task to the two of them, without seeking out the powerful patriarch of the Sun Realm. This was either because she was afraid of the traitor discovering it, or because the Mother Tree herself did not know who the traitor was.

Then there's that foul-smelling black water.

The reason the mother tree didn't let them act immediately was probably not only because of their large numbers, but also because the two of them were too weak.

The mother tree of a realm is equivalent to the foundation of that realm, yet it only dares to entrust its plea for help to two junior disciples.

Liu Yunqing felt a great responsibility on her shoulders, and at the same time, the pressure increased dramatically.

She longed to ask the mother tree for some guidance, but with the mother tree gently tossing her upwards, Liu Yunqing felt as light as a soul, only concerned with floating upwards, unable to utter a word.

Fortunately, Liu Yunqing's worries were relieved when the two drifted off to an unknown destination.

It turned out that the mother tree's gentle touch had placed the answer that Liu Yunqing and the other person wanted to ask into their minds.

The clues and trustworthy people that the mother tree knew were all imprinted in their minds.

In addition, Liu Yunqing had more information about the Fusang Divine Tree and the Golden Crow Divine Clan than Wuchen did.

"...What I am about to say must not be mentioned to any third person other than you and me, otherwise the Sun Realm will lose its last chance of survival, and the Golden Crow God Clan will be completely wiped out from the world."

"The Fusang sapling will become the new mother tree of the Sun Realm before I completely disappear, but the crisis of the Sun Realm is not over yet."

"You must find nine drops of Golden Crow essence blood as soon as possible, completely merge with the Golden Crow bloodline, and obtain the inheritance of the Golden Crow God Clan."

"Fusang nurtures the Golden Crow, and the Golden Crow blesses Fusang. Only when the Golden Crow God Clan reappears in the world can the Fusang Divine Tree truly flourish and the Sun Realm escape its crisis."

"Only you... can truly take revenge and reclaim everything!!!"

Real revenge?

Liu Yunqing's attention was completely drawn to the real revenge, and he did not notice that Mu Shucihe's tone had long since become full of hatred.

But what is true revenge?

But who exactly is she? And what is her relationship with the Golden Crow Clan?

Liu Yunqing wasn't stupid. From the moment she stepped into the world of cultivation, everything that happened was something she couldn't have achieved simply by being reborn.

Moreover, even the matter of being reborn was something Liu Yunqing had doubts about.

However, her cultivation level was too low, and she couldn't resolve any of those questions.

Liu Yunqing sighed inwardly. When would she finally reach the Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Deity Transformation stages?

She was genuinely impressed, but little did she know that if others overheard her, they would probably just think she was showing off.

Liu Yunqing wasn't worried about being overheard, but with her mind racing, she heard some noise the moment after she finished sighing.

"Why is it so noisy? Are we almost there?"

When Liu Yunqing came to her senses, she realized that she and Wuchen had fallen back into the darkness of the Soul-Stealing Abyss, and among the noisy voices were their familiar voices.

Wuchen had just come to his senses. After listening to the noise, he said to Liu Yunqing:

"The situation up there is probably not good."

Thinking of Feng Piaopiao and the other two, Liu Yunqing didn't say a word and used fire to clear a path, rushing towards the exit of Jihunjian, with Wuchen following closely behind.

As the two moved forward, the noise grew louder, and Liu Yunqing could even hear Liu Yunzhao's voice among the din.

"It's haunting me!"

Liu Yunqing frowned and was about to step out of the Soul-Stealing Ravine when Wuchen grabbed her.

"Do you want to be a little weaker?"

The two men had quite a bit of dried blood on them, but they looked unusually energetic.

Liu Yunqing understood Wuchen's meaning as soon as she looked him over. She immediately restrained her spiritual power and even made herself look more disheveled before taking a shaky step out of the Soul-Staying Ravine.

"What happened?"

Liu Yunqing immediately spotted Feng Piaopiao and Zhuo Ying, who were on high alert. Both of them had bruises on their bodies and looked unwell, clearly indicating that they had been in a fight.

Ruan Qing seemed to be in a better position, currently shuttling between the two sides of the standoff, trying to persuade one side and the other.

"Oh dear, although the Ancestor said there are two camps, they are both for the betterment of the Sun Realm. Our goals are not conflicting, so why fight and kill each other?"

"Senior Sister Yun Zhao, you are such a fairy-like person, always so kind and gentle, you certainly won't hold it against us."

"Besides, anyone can come to the Soul-Gathering Valley. Zhuo Ying and the others didn't mean anything by it; they were just worried about Fellow Daoist Zhenru and Senior Wuchen."

Ruan Qing was trying to ingratiate herself when Liu Yunzhao stood opposite her, her face gentle and tender, but her eyes full of contempt and scrutiny. Suddenly hearing Liu Yunqing's voice, the two of them looked over at the same time.

Upon seeing this, Ruan Qing's eyes flashed with joy, but she immediately concealed her emotions, only appearing to breathe a sigh of relief, while Liu Yunzhao couldn't help but frown.

Others might not be able to tell, but she could. This rogue cultivator, Zhenru, seemed to be different from before.

If it weren't for the ancestor's words that Zhenru hadn't disguised herself or changed her appearance, and that the remnant soul within him shared the same view, Liu Yunzhao would almost certainly have thought that Zhenru was Liu Yunqing.

She didn't want her doubts to be overturned, but the facts were undeniable, forcing her to believe them.

"Fellow Daoist Zhenru, how have you been?"

No matter what thoughts were swirling in his mind, Liu Yunzhao still wore his signature smile and greeted them with an indifferent expression.

Liu Yunqing acted as if she hadn't heard, frowning as she looked at the injured Zhuo Ying and Feng Piaopiao, and repeated:

"What happened? Why do you look like you've been torn apart by a vicious dog?"

A lazy, unrestrained smile appeared on Feng Piaopiao's tired and pale handsome face as he said:

"There were too many vicious dogs, and getting injured was inevitable. Fortunately, Zhenru arrived in time, and the vicious dogs naturally retreated."

Liu Yunqing feigned anger and scolded:

"Didn't I tell you, when there's a pack of vicious dogs, just stay away and deal with them later?"

"What a fortunate opportunity, fellow Daoist! You've only been at the Foundation Establishment stage for a short time, and you're already aiming for the Golden Core stage?"

Ignored by Liu Yunqing and openly and subtly called a vicious dog, Liu Yunzhao suppressed his anger and interrupted their conversation.

Liu Yunqing seemed to only then notice Liu Yunzhao, and said with a feigned surprise:

"Oh dear, I was so busy cursing the vicious dog with my friends that I didn't even see Fairy Yun Zhao. Did Fairy Yun Zhao see the vicious dog and run off to that direction?"

Liu Yunzhao did not answer, a faint smile still playing on his lips, but his gaze toward Liu Yunqing was as cold as ice.

Oh, Liu Yunzhao doesn't have an ice spirit root now, so he can't be as cold as ice, he can only be as cold as cold water.

But it doesn't matter. Now that Liu Yunzhao's gaze has lost its power, there will naturally be powerful people willing to help him.

As Liu Yunqing mentally counted down "three, two, one," an unfamiliar sword cultivator approached him, about to curse him, but was stopped by Liu Yunzhao.
