When Bai Chen, the old ancestor, comes out of seclusion, only Tie Wei, the old ancestor, can withstand him.
If Dugu Meng is killed, the Ancestor will surely come out of seclusion to help her when he learns of it.
If the Iron City is breached, the Ancestor will no longer be able to continue his seclusion in peace.
“Sheng’er, our ancestor passed away many years ago,” Leng Yueshuang said slowly, taking a deep breath.
Dugu Qiusheng was stunned and asked, "What?"
“Your father doesn’t know about this either,” Leng Yueshuang said with a helpless expression.
No sect will announce the passing of their ancestor publicly, in order to deter powerful enemies.
This is why the four major factions have been able to coexist peacefully for so many years.
"Mother, let's go together." Even if Dugu Qiusheng was arrogant, he wasn't arrogant enough to challenge the Nascent Soul Ancestor.
Time is of the essence; the only option now is to leave quickly and head to Justice Fortress. Preserving our lives is of utmost importance.
Leng Yueshuang said, "We can't escape together. I have to stay and buy you some time."
Dugu Qiusheng lowered his head, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails dug into the flesh of his palms.
“Sheng’er, you’ve grown up now and can tell what’s important. Your mother doesn’t have many years left to live. As long as you’re safe, your father and I can rest in peace.” Leng Yueshuang’s smile was especially sweet as she thought about reuniting with Dugu Meng soon.
Dugu Qiusheng knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times to Leng Yueshuang, tears streaming down his face.
Leng Yueshuang forced back her tears; she knew she absolutely couldn't cry at this moment.
Once tears start to fall from her eyes, it will be even harder for Dugu Qiusheng to leave the Iron City.
“Mother, I will ask Brother Bian to come and save you, so you must hold on until then no matter what,” Dugu Qiusheng said, choking back tears.
Leng Yueshuang nodded, knowing she had to give Dugu Qiusheng some hope. She immediately helped him up and said with a smile, "Hurry up, or it will be too late."
Dugu Qiusheng wiped away his tears, knowing that crying here was pointless and that it would be better to hurry on his way and ask Bian Lang for help.
No matter how powerful Patriarch Bai Chen is, he is definitely no match for Bian Lang.
"Do you think you can still leave?" Yama asked, his sinister smile chillingly bright.
Dugu Qiusheng held a jade flute in his hand, his eyes filled with fear.
Given Enma's strength, there is absolutely no way he could have sneaked into the Iron Fortress without a sound.
Even Ancestor Bai Chen couldn't do that.
Leng Yueshuang was shocked, but she pretended to be calm and asked, "How did you get in?"
“Of course we walked in,” Enma said with a smile.
Dugu Qiusheng said coldly, "I'll kill you first, then I'll go and kill Bai Chen..."
"If you want to avenge your father, just kill me," Enma sneered.
Dugu Qiusheng asked in astonishment, "Did you kill my father?"
Enma nodded with a smile.
"Don't joke around." Dugu Qiusheng refused to believe it even if it meant death.
Even Yama's cultivation level is inferior to his, so how could he possibly kill Dugu Meng?
Enma chuckled and said, "I am not the same person I used to be."
Just as Dugu Qiusheng was about to make a move, he was stopped by Leng Yueshuang.
“Mother…” Dugu Qiusheng did not understand Leng Yueshuang’s intention.
Yanmo stared at Leng Yueshuang with lustful eyes and clicked his tongue in amazement, saying, "I never imagined your mother was so beautiful."
“You…” If Leng Yueshuang hadn’t been holding him back, Dugu Qiusheng would have already attacked her.
Leng Yueshuang's face twitched, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "As long as you release Sheng'er, I'm willing to go with you."
"Mother, what are you saying?" Dugu Qiusheng forcefully shook off Leng Yueshuang's hand, his face showing both shock and confusion.
Leng Yueshuang asked anxiously, "How is it?"
"Okay." Yanmo looked at Leng Yueshuang and was drooling.
Leng Yueshuang gave Dugu Qiusheng a push and urged, "Let's go quickly."
"Mother, my father's body is not yet cold..." Dugu Qiusheng knew that Leng Yueshuang was only trying to save his life, but they were clearly facing Yama, the Demon King.
Leng Yueshuang said angrily, "Let's go."
Dugu Qiusheng glared fiercely at Leng Yueshuang, and as he walked out, he suddenly pointed his jade flute swiftly at Yanmo.
“Sheng’er…” Leng Yueshuang’s eyes were filled with tears.
She usually thought Dugu Qiusheng was very smart; he could understand many things without needing to be explicitly told.
But when it comes to life and death, why does he always make mistakes?
Dugu Meng, usually a very shrewd person, made a decision that cost him his life.
Dugu Qiusheng's jade flute possesses immense power in a single strike.
But when the needle struck Yama, it didn't even manage to harm a single hair on Yama's head.
Yama raised his hand and gently pushed aside the jade flute, teasingly asking, "Has the young city lord not eaten?"
Dugu Qiusheng was filled with shock; at this moment, he was unable to control his jade flute.
In fact, even his body seemed to be beyond his control.
Leng Yueshuang said urgently, "Bai Chen, you've already promised me, let Sheng'er go."
Bai Chen?
Dugu Qiusheng's head was buzzing when he heard Leng Yueshuang address Yama.
Could this Yama be an incarnation of Ancestor Bai Chen?
"That kind of wonderful thing is more interesting when there's a spectator on the sidelines," Yama said with a smile, looking at Dugu Qiusheng.
Clearly, Enma wanted Dugu Qiusheng to be just an observer.
"Yama, I will tear you to pieces." Dugu Qiusheng could only resort to empty words now.
Leng Yueshuang trembled slightly; no matter what Yanmo said, she could not do it.
Her husband had just been murdered, and she had to do *that* with the man who killed him, while her son stood by and watched. No woman in the world could do that.
"They say it's better to be lucky than lucky, so let's do it now," Yama said, walking towards Leng Yueshuang.
Even after Yama turned and left, Dugu Qiusheng was still unable to move.
Leng Yueshuang slumped in the chair, next to a tall octagonal table.
Yama wanted to use that octagonal table as a bed.
At this moment, both Dugu Qiusheng and Leng Yueshuang showed resentment, but their eyes were filled with fear.
Leng Yueshuang's right hand moved slowly and gently touched the storage bag. Instantly, a flying sword shot out and aimed straight at her throat.
Now that things have come to this, the only thing she can do is kill herself to avoid being humiliated.
Even if Dugu Qiusheng dies a tragic death in the end, it doesn't matter. At least his family of three can be reunited in another world.
But the flying sword turned to dust the moment it appeared.
Enma grinned maliciously, "How could I miss out on something this fun?"
"Bai Chen, someone will come and get you eventually." Leng Yueshuang's voice trembled violently.
Yama teased, "Is it that corpse driver named Bian Lang? Don't worry, I'll go find him after I've finished with you."
What happened in the Iron City must have reached Bian Lang's ears.
The thought that Bian Lang would kill Yan Mo made Leng Yueshuang feel much better.
Yanmo walked up to Leng Yueshuang in a few steps and clicked his tongue, saying, "At this age, your skin is still as smooth as a young girl's. I'm really a little envious of that brat Dugu Meng."
Dugu Qiusheng secretly circulated his spiritual power, wanting only to break through the restrictions imposed on him by the Yama Seed.
But Yama had already thrown Leng Yueshuang onto the Eight Immortals Table and started to loosen his own belt.
Dugu Qiusheng's eyes blazed with fury, but he was utterly helpless.
