"Father! Mother!" Luanfeng stumbled and ran towards her home.
Luanfeng rushed into her home, searching frantically for her parents, tears blurring her vision. She called out their names as she rummaged through the ruins, her heart filled with despair and fear.
Chu Wanwan followed closely behind, and frowned upon seeing the horrific scene before her. She quickly comforted Luanfeng, "Don't panic, perhaps they are still alive. Let's search carefully."
The two searched through the ruins and finally found Luanfeng's father in a corner of a collapsed house. He was severely injured and barely breathing. Luanfeng rushed forward and tightly grasped her father's hand: "Father, what happened? Where is Mother? Where is my brother?"
Luanfeng's father opened his eyes with difficulty and said weakly, "It's Ling... Lingyue... to... take... revenge!"
After saying this, Luanfeng's father breathed his last.
With trembling hands, Luanfeng checked her father's breath, and then tears streamed down her face like a burst dam.
"father……"
Chu Wanwan watched as Luanfeng burst into tears and gently patted her back.
"Luanfeng, now is not the time to grieve. Your mother and brother have not been found yet. We must go and rescue them!"
Hearing Chu Wanwan's words, Luanfeng suppressed her grief and slowly stood up. Her eyes were filled with determination and resolve. "Yes, we must find Mother and Brother and make Lingyue pay the price."
The two immediately began searching the ruins for clues, hoping to find Luanfeng's mother and younger brother. After a careful search, they discovered some messy footprints and signs of a struggle.
Gradually, more and more corpses appeared on the ground...
"Little Six..."
"Grandma Yuan..."
"Chieftain..."
Looking at these familiar faces, Luanfeng's grief intensified. She bit her lip, struggling to keep herself from breaking down again. Chu Wanwan's expression was grave; she knew she had to find Luanfeng's mother and brother as soon as possible, or the consequences would be unimaginable.
They continued on, following the scattered corpses and signs of a struggle, the atmosphere along the way so oppressive it was hard to breathe.
Finally, they found two bodies, one large and one small, by the river.
Looking at her mother and younger brother's mangled corpses, Luanfeng's legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground. Her gaze was fixed on the two gruesome bodies, her heart aching as if it were being torn apart.
The mother's clothes were torn and tattered, stained with blood everywhere. Her once beautiful face was now covered in wounds, and her eyes were gone, leaving only two bloody holes. Her hair lay disheveled on the ground, mixed with the dirt and blood.
The younger brother's small body was even more heartbreaking to look at; his limbs were twisted as if they had been cruelly broken. His face was filled with terror, as if he had experienced endless fear in the last moments of his life.
Luanfeng trembled as she reached out and gently stroked her mother's and younger brother's faces, tears streaming down her face like a burst dam. "Mother, brother... how could you have become like this... it's all Luanfeng's fault... Luanfeng shouldn't have married Zhanyin!"
Her voice was hoarse and desperate, filled with endless sorrow.
Chu Wanwan stood to the side, her eyes also reddening. She could feel the unspeakable pain in Luanfeng's heart, but she didn't know how to comfort her. The air was thick with sorrow and anger, as if it would drown everyone.
Luanfeng slowly stood up, her eyes burning with rage. "Lingyue, I will make you pay for this in blood!" Her voice was cold and resolute, filled with boundless hatred.
"Bury all the corpses of my people!" Luanfeng turned to the divine soldiers and attendants who had accompanied him on his return journey and coldly commanded!
"yes!"
The group immediately sprang into action, carefully collecting the bodies of the Qingluan people and burying them.
Luanfeng stood aside, quietly watching everything, her heart filled with overwhelming grief. She recalled the happy times she had spent with her family, those warm memories now transformed into an indelible wound.
Chu Wanwan walked to Luanfeng's side, gently took her hand, and offered her silent support. "Luanfeng, we will definitely avenge your family."
"Of course! I will tear her tendons out and skin her alive to avenge my people and my family!"
Luanfeng's voice was like a demon from hell, filled with endless coldness!
The burial process was long and solemn, every action filled with respect and sorrow. As the last handful of soil covered the graves of her loved ones, Luanfeng's tears welled up once again.
She said nothing, knelt on the ground, kowtowed several times to her parents' graves, then turned and left...
...
Luanfeng and Chu Wanwan returned to the Divine Palace and headed straight for Lingyue's palace.
Lingyue was leisurely sipping tea while leaning back on the couch when she saw Luanfeng barge in. She casually sat up straight and said softly, "Sister, why are you so angry? Did I offend you?"
Luanfeng didn't argue with her, but drew her long sword and thrust it at Lingyue. Lingyue's expression changed, and she hurriedly dodged to the side. She hadn't expected Luanfeng to attack so directly, and a surge of anger welled up inside her.
"Sister, what are you doing? Let's talk this out!" Lingyue shouted as she dodged, but a provocative smile played on her lips!
Seeing Lingyue's smile, Luanfeng's hatred intensified, becoming even more uncontrollable! Her swordplay grew increasingly fierce, each move deadly. Chu Wanwan stood to the side, vigilantly watching her surroundings to prevent anyone from aiding Lingyue.
Lingyue gradually lost her grip and began to shout for help.
However, her cries for help did not attract any assistance.
In this divine palace, everyone knows about the conflict between the Divine Empress and Consort Yue, and also knows that the Divine Emperor deeply loves the Divine Empress! No one wants to get involved.
Luanfeng's sword finally pierced Lingyue's shoulder. Lingyue screamed and fell to the ground.
"Sister, I know you're very uncomfortable being caught between you and Zhan Yin! But you can't kill me! My father and mother sacrificed their divine souls to reforge the Pangu Axe for the safety of the divine realm! I am their only daughter, and you want to kill me out of jealousy. Aren't you afraid of being condemned by the entire divine realm?"
Although Lingyue's words were harsh, there was a hint of trembling and fear in her tone.
Luanfeng glared at Lingyue, her eyes burning with fury that seemed to consume her completely. "You harmed my people, murdered my parents and brother, and now you dare to say I'm jealous of you? You deserve to die!"
As she spoke, Luanfeng raised her sword again, preparing to deliver the final blow to Lingyue.
