She never expected Bai Changxue to betray him.
After Bai Changxue learned about the Scroll of All Heavens from the painting, he decided to do this.
However, all of these things are in the past. There's no need to bring them up again.
The head of the Bai family smiled and looked at them, saying, "You already know what you need to know. The people of the Nine Realms Continent should have already noticed the matter of the sealed memories, and you should also understand that someone who can do this to such an extent must... have a shocking secret behind it."
"The Bai family is already riddled with holes, and I am still here today only for our own mission."
She smiled slyly: "You should already know about what happened in Xianglai Village, right?"
Everyone was shocked, and Meng Wanwan couldn't help but ask, "Were those people from Xianglai Village arranged by you?"
The head of the Bai family nodded slightly: "Yes, it's us. However..."
She laughed mockingly.
Looking at Shangguan Liuyue, he said, "A long time ago, I thought that the ancestors of the Baili family left the story of Xianglai Village so that the Bai family could have a chance to breathe under this divine punishment."
“But I was wrong.” A chilling hatred suddenly flashed in her eyes, then vanished in an instant, leaving her numb.
"The Bai family has been barely surviving for so many years, simply for the selfish desires of certain individuals."
"Mr. Shangguan must have regained some of his memories by now."
Shangguan Liuyue frowned: "You know that?"
The Bai family head looked up at the sky and smiled: "With one of the seals on Chongyang Palace broken, it's only natural that you've regained some of your memories."
One thunderclap after another left everyone stunned.
Meng Xiuyi frowned and said, "What do you mean by 'one of the seals is missing'? Chongyang Palace has a seal? And it's related to the memories of Ancestor Shangguan?"
Why does it feel like things are getting more and more chaotic?
Meng Wanwan: "You mean, someone deliberately made your Bai family build Xianglai Village because of their own selfish desires, to kill those born with a cursed constitution?"
The Bai family head said, "Over the centuries, the Calamity Body has died time and time again... Many things, no matter how deeply buried, can be pieced together after seeing them many times."
"I will only say what I know."
Hundreds of years ago, the Baili family was attacked by a coalition of sects and clans that survived the war between gods and demons, and was forced to leave Jiutian City and find a place to live in seclusion.
Just when the Baili family thought they were about to be destroyed, someone came to them and told them...
"If you want to defy fate and change the destiny of the Baili family, then do as I say."
Then, that person gave Baili the task of building Xianglai Village.
“These things were all recorded by our ancestors, but there are no other records. I deduce that this event must have happened before the memory was sealed. And what our Baili family recorded were just fragments of information after the memory was sealed.”
This is what the Bai family head said.
From then on, the Bai family kept their promise and wanted to make the Baili family glorious again. They had to accept divine punishment while paying attention to the affairs of Xianglai Village.
The head of the Bai family sneered: "However, the situation of the Bai family is getting worse and worse. Whether it is the main family or the branches, apart from those who were killed by the Helian family, everyone else is also dying suddenly."
"Some lived to be over twenty years old, while others died shortly after birth."
This went on for hundreds of years, and even the cultivators of the Baili family had died several times over, yet the Baili family's fate grew increasingly tragic.
Until ten years ago, only a handful of people remained in the Baili family.
Now that things have come to this, Bai Yuan, who had just become the head of the Bai family, had a very absurd idea.
"I think there might be something wrong with that so-called Xianglai Village."
Bai Yuan closed her eyes, her eyes filled with regret.
"Later, I went to Xianglai Village, and I witnessed Tan Menggong and those people massacring the people of Xianglai Village, as well as that child who was a cursed being..."
Bai Yuan wanted to find out what was going on, so she saw the cultivators part ways with the people from Tanmeng Palace and head towards Chongyang Palace.
That same night, she saw for the first time the seal that shrouded the Chongyang Palace.
Such a massive seal would probably have remained unseen by anyone had it not been for the sudden appearance of those people entering.
Helian Tengyun found this absurd: "Chongyang Palace is the place where the divine decree was delivered, how could there be a seal? Even if someone really wanted to seal Chongyang Palace, would the people of Chongyang Palace agree to it? Moreover, I don't believe that the people of Chongyang Palace would massacre a village."
Bai Yuan said, "It's true that it wasn't the people from Chongyang Palace who killed those people, but, Patriarch Helian, you said that the people from Chongyang Palace wouldn't agree to Chongyang Palace being sealed away. But what if there's no one left in Chongyang Palace?"
Helian Tengyun was stunned: "This...this is impossible. Chongyang Palace was the most powerful sect back then..."
Bai Yuan smiled faintly: "After the war between gods and demons, has anyone seen anyone from Chongyang Palace?"
No!
Nobody!
The only time His Highness Chongyang issued a divine decree was after the war between gods and demons, but it seems that no one from Chongyang Palace has ever been seen to come out.
Everyone broke out in a cold sweat.
Chongyang Palace can be considered the spiritual pillar of the Nine Realms Continent. People revere Chongyang Palace just as they revere the demigod in the Hundred Flowers Forest.
However, Bai Yuan now says that everyone in Chongyang Palace is actually dead...
This is terrible.
Bai Yuan laughed at their dejected expressions: "Later, I stayed on the outskirts of Chongyang Palace. I wanted to see what those people were up to and who they were. However, on that day, the sky above Chongyang Palace shone brightly, and I watched with my own eyes as the huge light barrier shattered."
"I thought I was seeing things, and I was even more excited to know what had happened. Until I saw the child who should have died more than ten years ago appear in the woods."
The rest is self-explanatory.
The child who was supposed to die has broken through the Golden Core stage and escaped the shackles of fate.
At the same time, the Chongyang Temple, which is associated with Hexianglai Village, underwent a major change.
Bai Yuan could naturally guess what was going on.
Meng Xiuyi murmured, "So, so this is the secret of Xianglai Village and Yunzhao's Calamity Body... Then... what about Chu You?"
Shangguan Liuyue exclaimed in shock, "You mean that Yun Zhao and Chu You are the two keys that bind Chongyang Palace, and as long as they can reach the Golden Core stage and break free from the shackles of fate, then my memories will be restored?"
Bai Yuan shook his head: "I can't guarantee that this will be the outcome, but this is just my guess."
The Bai family is beyond saving, but she still hopes that someone can avenge them.
For centuries, the Bai family has borne the brunt of public condemnation, playing the role that everyone wants to shun. But who truly benefited from what happened back then? Just look at the Han family today, and you'll know.
But on what grounds?
Why should the Han family stand on the blood and flesh of the Bai family and enjoy endless glory?
