Su Cheng was helpless. Qing Han's mother was the ruler of the demon race, and the reasons behind this could not be explained in a few words.
But in Ye Qinghan's eyes, it was the fickle humans who killed her mother, which led Ye Qinghan to regard humans as livestock.
"What do you mean?" Yu Lan was a little confused. What did the saying "every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor" mean, and what did "fate's will" mean?
"Yu Lan must keep Qing Han's matter a secret. When you return, do not say anything to Qing Han."
Having said that, Yu Lan asked no more questions and simply followed Su Cheng into the Demon Capital.
Over the years, Ye Qinghan only dared to speak to her mother outside the city. She didn't have the courage to enter the city, nor did she know how to face her mother.
The skeletal remains, burned to ashes by the raging fire, were barely recognizable as human. Bloodstains and bits of flesh clung to the broken walls, and claw marks were etched on the towering pillars of the royal palace.
The twelve giant soul-locking nails used to bind that demon emperor are still firmly nailed around the plaza, with three of them even pulled out and hanging on the ground.
The square beneath my feet was stained red with blood, as if it had been laid out as a red carpet, without any gaps.
The snow-white hairs were embedded in the floor tiles like steel needles, resembling wild grass growing from the cracks between the tiles.
Further ahead, in the center of the twelve soul-locking nails that resemble a clock face, lies the Demon-Slaying Array.
The human race turned a trusted subordinate of the Demon Emperor against him, and it was here that Ye Qinghan's mother was killed.
The corpse was long gone, and Ye Qinghan had no ability to seek revenge. Even if he knew that his mother had been skinned and her fangs broken, there was nothing he could do.
Blindly searching would only lead to certain death; what she wanted was to avenge herself!
"Who did this?!"
As the Dragon King, Yu Lan was not afraid of bloody scenes, but he was still somewhat moved when he thought that this was the young lady's mother.
"The Demon Emperor is no ordinary person; his strength is no less than Yu Lan's. It was a war launched by the demon race in alliance with the human race."
Su Cheng simply watched coldly. To Su Cheng, this was none of his business, and there was no question of which side was right or wrong.
Given that Qinghan's mother held the position of Demon Emperor, it was no surprise that the human race would not tolerate her.
According to the original world's development, with Cheng Liang's help, Ye Qinghan killed the culprit and then let go of his hatred. Heh.
Su Cheng has always been disgusted by this result.
Cheng Liang was also involved in what happened back then, but he was too busy dealing with the demons to come in person.
However, Ye Qinghan is a love-struck person and most likely wouldn't think of this.
But now, she is Su Cheng's disciple. Su Cheng doesn't care how many people he kills; all he wants is for Qing Han to be happy.
Su Cheng had no intention of letting any of the twelve powerful demons or the four human cultivators go.
Su Cheng activated his immortal technique and whispered, "Spirit Gathering Array."
A light blue array immediately unfolded beneath their feet, quickly covering the plaza. Su Cheng looked at Yu Lan beside him and said, "Please help me! With my cultivation level, I'm afraid I can't maintain this array."
Yu Lan chuckled. She had been a little puzzled just now, wondering how Su Cheng, with his current Foundation Establishment cultivation, could maintain such a large-scale formation. She was quite surprised!
Hearing Su Cheng's slightly joking words, he was able to shake off his previous grief and indignation, thinking to himself, "Just as I thought!"
"How could I disobey my husband's command?" Yu Lan said with a slightly sly expression, as if to say: I really can't do anything with my husband~
Su Cheng originally planned to use Ye Qinghan's hair as a guide. He also took some of Ye Qinghan's hair when he was in the Spirit Pool Hall, intending to use it to gather spiritual energy.
But upon arriving at this place, they discovered that it was completely unnecessary. The Demon Emperor had already stained the entire square with blood, so why would he need his daughter's hair?
Even so, given the passage of time, the Spirit Gathering Array could only play a negligible role, gathering less than one in a hundred remnant souls.
"Does my husband intend to use this spirit-gathering array to summon the remnant soul of the Demon Emperor?"
The Spirit Gathering Array has many uses, but Yu Lan could easily see that Su Cheng's intention today was mostly to learn about what happened back then directly from the Demon Emperor himself.
"That's how it is, but even if we summon it now, it will probably only last for a short while. Let's leave this precious opportunity to Qinghan."
Su Cheng actually wanted to see if he could reconstruct Qing Han's physical body in order to revive her mother, but now it seems that it is probably impossible.
Since that's the case, even if it's just for a short while, Su Cheng decided to put away the remnant soul and leave it to his precious disciple.
Firstly, even if it's just for a moment, Qinghan would probably want to see her mother one more time.
Secondly, the Demon Emperor's soul is also a cherished memory for Qinghan. Su Cheng plans to seal it in Qinghan's jade pendant in the future, so that Qinghan will no longer be alone.
"Qinghan has been alone for decades. I originally wanted to rebuild her mother's body so that the mother and daughter could meet again. Now, her remaining soul is less than one in a hundred, so I'm afraid we can only meet briefly."
As Su Cheng spoke, he took out a jade bottle from his jade pendant and put the remnant soul into it to nurture it.
These words and actions truly shocked Yu Lan, but what was even more surprising was that Su Cheng actually had a way to bring the dead back to life.
"Time has passed, and the remnant souls have all been reincarnated among the masses. Most of what remains today are the manifestations of obsession. However, if Sect Leader Su has a method to reshape the physical body, given time, he may not be unable to collect the remnant souls and allow them to be reborn."
Upon hearing this, Su Cheng also fell into deep thought.
"You mean, by finding the person who was reincarnated, killing them, and collecting their remnant souls, we can resurrect Qinghan's mother."
Yu Lan smiled. To be honest, she thought Su Cheng was the type who would kill everyone in the world for the sake of his disciple.
"Hehe, I thought my husband was a decisive person who wouldn't care what others thought of you."
Su Cheng shook his head and let out a long sigh. Having gone through so much, although he still looked young, he was no longer the person who had just transmigrated.
