Before the Yun family patriarch self-destructed, he told the old sect leader a secret: his wife had just given birth to a baby girl who was not yet a month old.

Amidst the rampant rumors surrounding the Yun family, the matriarch of the Yun family became pregnant. To be on the safe side, even few members of the Yun family knew about the matriarch's pregnancy.

The outside world was unaware of the existence of this baby girl, who was also the last remaining bloodline of the Yun family.

The Yun family patriarch entrusted this baby girl to the old sect master..." Ji Yan paused here.

Shang Xiye looked down at the little girl sleeping peacefully in his arms, who looked like a pink flower, and said softly, "That baby girl, is that her?"

"Yes, it's Xiao Yaoyao," Ji Yan confirmed.

"The Yun family patriarch entrusted his son to the patriarch on his deathbed... My father, my father should take this matter extremely seriously. Even if he told me about it, I should... Could it be that I was immoral in my past life and revealed Yao Yao's true identity..."

"Wait, wait!" Before Shang Xiye could finish speaking, Ji Yan couldn't help but interrupt him: "Little Momo, what's wrong with you? Did you develop a self-destructive habit after being reincarnated once? Why do you keep badmouthing yourself?"

Shang Xiye: "..."

The scenes he had witnessed in the illusion were so terrifying that he couldn't help but doubt and blame himself.

"Your father, your own father, after bringing Xiao Yaoyao back, risked his severely injured and dying body to pass on the position of the Dan Sect Master to you, and also entrusted Xiao Yaoyao to you. He forced you to take Xiao Yaoyao as your disciple, and even made a Heavenly Oath, promising to protect Xiao Yaoyao for the rest of his life, educate her to become a talent, and not to have any improper thoughts about Xiao Yaoyao. If you break your promise and touch Xiao Yaoyao, may the heavens punish you." Ji Yan used all his sarcasm skills to tell you all the things that the old sect master had done to harm his child back then.

Shang Xiye again: "..."

He remembered the scene of being struck by a sky full of lightning, so he later became...

Okay!

Breaking his promise like that deserves to be struck by lightning!

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Ji Fengming was thrown to the side of a group of fairy maidens playing celestial music.

As soon as he landed, the celestial maidens disappeared, and the celestial music abruptly stopped.

"Xiao Chen!"

Ji Fengming rolled to his feet and quickly turned around to look back. Behind him was a vast expanse of white spiritual mist, with only vague figures visible as they slid away into the distance.

There were only six people in their group, but Ji Fengming had just seen far more than six figures, which meant that there were other people who had also been sucked into this palace.

Worried about Hei Xiao, Ji Fengyao, and Shang Xiye, Ji Fengming hurriedly ran towards the place where the figures had fallen. However, even though he had run to the left, when he realized it, he was now to the right of where he had started.

He wasn't actually heading towards the palace, but every step he took was towards it. Even after he realized this and deliberately backed away, he found himself getting closer and closer to the palace.

"This is unbelievable!" Ji Fengming exclaimed in shock. "Could it be that he encountered the legendary 'ghost wall'?"

"What nonsense about being trapped in a maze! This is a sacred temple. Any demons or evil spirits that enter this place will be reduced to their original forms or even destroyed!"

A clear yet mechanical female voice rang out, seemingly answering Ji Fengming's question.

"Who!" Ji Fengming looked around in surprise: "A person or a ghost, come out!"

"Only my master can summon me in this world. Although you have my master's aura, you do not have my master's seal. I cannot come out to see you," the voice replied mechanically and coldly.
