The ball of light crashed into a courtyard of the Lieyang Gate, and then suddenly exploded, like a falling sun, bursting out with blinding light. With a deafening roar, the entire Lieyang Gate was razed to the ground, and even the mountains within a hundred miles of the Lieyang Gate disappeared.
"Gah—"
After completing its mission, the crow with scarlet eyes flapped its wings a few times and flew off towards a certain location. Its speed was incredible, far beyond what ordinary crows could achieve, and ordinary crows didn't possess its blood-red eyes.
The crow flew over mountains and across winding valleys, finally landing on the finger of a man sitting under a pine tree on a mountaintop.
The man, dressed in a magnificent black robe, had long, jet-black hair that cascaded down his back. He was handsome with amber eyes. His robe was mostly open, revealing a red curse mark on his chest, shaped like the character "瑶" (Yao).
He teased the crow that was perched on his finger, and the crow gently pecked his hand before spreading its wings and flying away.
The man stood up and disappeared into the night.

Moonlight, like water, spilled over Ziji Peak. In front of the carved round window, Ayao held a book in her hands. She had just finished bathing, and her long hair was draped behind her like satin. She was wearing a soft white nightgown. She read a few pages of the book, but soon became agitated again.
She couldn't help but think of Xu Fengzhi, and the puzzled and angry look in his eyes as he staggered to his feet.
Ayao couldn't concentrate on her book, so she threw it down and muttered to herself angrily, "Stop thinking about it, okay? It was his fault to begin with. Who told him to force a kiss on me? I've already been very kind by not killing him."
She did nothing wrong, she did nothing wrong, the one who was wrong was Xu Fengzhi.
She stood up and walked towards the chaise lounge. She lay down on it, still unable to calm her mind. She hadn't felt this troubled in a long time. Ayao reached out a hand, her fingers tracing her lips, recalling that domineering kiss…
This was her first time kissing a man, and the feeling...
Stop!
"I should have killed him..."
Ayao murmured to the air.
Suddenly, Ayao felt her eyelids getting heavy; she was so sleepy…
The moonlight outside was bright, and a tall figure slowly emerged from the darkness. This figure appeared in the courtyard outside A Yao's main hall. Everything on Ziji Peak seemed to be shrouded in a dream. The birds in the forest, the beasts in their nests, everything, including A Yao, fell into a deep sleep.
A man dressed in black robes entered the main hall. His gaze passed through the pearl curtains and heavy gauze curtains, and he saw the girl sleeping on the chaise longue.
He lifted the beaded curtain, passed through the gauze drape, and came to the chaise longue, his gaze fixed on the girl on it. The girl's nightgown was as white as snow, her long, black hair was scattered on the soft pillow, and under the lamplight, her skin was as white as jade.
Lou Munan sat down on the edge of the chaise lounge and reached out to hold the sleeping A Yao in his arms. With the beauty in his arms, the girl's unique, cool fragrance lingered around his nose.
He held A Yao's smooth chin in his long, slender hand, and the corners of his lips turned up slightly: "Let me see what secrets you're hiding, little girl."
His amber eyes turned blood red, and he was about to search A Yao's soul.
The Soul Searching Technique is very damaging; often, once the soul is searched, the person is rendered useless.
This is actually a misconception, and there are two reasons for this misconception.
First, the Soul Searching Technique is extremely difficult to learn, and many people cannot fully master it. Second, the Soul Searching Technique is usually used against enemies, and even if one can do so without injury, the person using it will be extremely brutal. Why be so gentle to an enemy?
Lou Munan was certainly capable of searching a soul without causing any harm. At this moment, he wanted to thoroughly search A Yao's soul inch by inch. How could a teenage girl know so much? She even knew about the curse seal he had created. What secrets did she hold?
But the soul-searching had barely begun when it encountered fierce resistance. This resistance didn't come from A-Yao, but from himself.
The cursed seal on his chest became incredibly hot. Many thin red lines extended from the red seal, spreading outwards and instantly covering his entire chest.
resistance!
Another part of his consciousness was stopping him.
"Why are you stopping me? Aren't you curious? You're obviously incredibly curious yourself. Don't you want to know what secrets she's hiding? I won't hurt her in the slightest," Lou Munan said.
"She even knows about the Kunpeng Manual. Aren't you curious where she got it from?"
The Kunpeng Manual was created by the first Kunpeng King, but subsequent successors modified it in each generation. The version that Ayao gave to Xu Fengzhi was the version that Xu Fengzhi modified for the eleventh Kunpeng King.
The moment Lou Munan and Xu Fengzhi merged, all of Xu Fengzhi's memories, including those from his numerous reincarnations, were almost simultaneously synchronized. Lou Munan knew that his clone had not passed on the "Kunpeng Technique" to anyone, at least not in his version.
Xu Fengzhi's mind was not swayed; his resistance was ten times stronger than before.
The thin red threads emanating from the curse mark spread towards his neck and limbs. Lou Munan stopped the soul search, gritted his teeth, and suppressed Xu Fengzhi's consciousness, forcing him into the abyss of his heart. The thin red threads on his body disappeared, but the curse mark was still burning hot.
Lou Munan was furious.
I'm so angry!!
Others' clones are loyal and devoted, but his clones are treacherous.
He put Ayao down, knowing that if he tried to search her soul again, that bastard would stop him again.
He decided to leave the little girl aside for now and deal with the unruly clone first.
Lou Munan got up and walked outside. With one step, he left the main hall and disappeared into the night.
Lou Munan walked for a while, and A Yao woke up from her deep sleep. She got up from the chaise longue, looking puzzled. How did she fall asleep while lying down?

The next day, news of the massacre of the Lieyang Sect spread.
The Lu family members soon learned about this.
"The Lieyang Sect was actually wiped out?" Lu Qingqing said while eating sunflower seeds.
"Who do you think did this? Could it be the head of the family?" Lu Hongying asked softly.
Everyone felt that this was quite likely. Duan Yong had disgusted the Seventh Miss, and the head of the family was always ruthless. Now that he valued the Seventh Miss so much, it wouldn't be surprising if he wiped that disgusting thing from the world.
"A toad trying to eat swan meat should take a look at whether it's worthy or not. One person's stupidity has brought disaster to the entire sect!" Lu Qingqing said.
Lu Yunli was shocked upon learning of this. Previously, Lu Xiuwen had asked him to find a way to appease A Yao and appease her anger. Although Lu Yunli was unwilling, he knew he had no other choice. He had intended to force the leader of the Lieyang Sect to offer Duan Yong's head, and yet his entire sect was wiped out? Who did it?
Father?
Did your father do it?
