In front of the tomb were placed offerings such as fruits, incense, candles, etc. brought by Xue Kong.
Looking at the tombstone, Xue Kong, who had always been calm, gradually felt his eyes become sore. During the hundred years of imprisonment and torture, he had asked for death more than once, but in the end, he had no control over his life or death.
Whenever he felt desperate, he would think of the sense of security he had when his parents were still alive.
Now that I am back with my parents again, my broken heart feels a little warmth even though there is a gap between life and death.
Xue Kong was silent. He had thousands of words in his heart and countless grievances that he wanted to express, but they were all stuck in his throat. He didn't know how to express them in front of his parents' grave. He could only remain silent and mourn.
Time passed slowly, the sun set, and in the blink of an eye it was dusk. Xue Kong then turned his gaze away from his parents' tombstones and turned to look at the sky above his head which was gradually getting darker.
"Dad, Mom, it's going to be dark soon."
"They have long forgotten your sacrifices, your great kindness and contributions. What you two sacrificed your lives for... was a pack of jackals and vicious beasts. This time I'm back, I will take everything back with my own hands."
"They're still dreaming of gaining the favor of that evil woman... Ha, how ridiculous."
"That evil woman holds a very high position. She is an elder of the Three Immortals Sect, the most powerful sect in Jingwu Country. Her master is one of the six great Jindan cultivators in Jingwu Country. Mortals are simply not worthy of her attention."
"If I didn't have an immortal fetus cursed body, I probably wouldn't have been chosen. Aside from me... no one in the entire Silver Willow City was brought into the Three Immortals Sect by her."
"Dad, Mom, when I was imprisoned by that evil woman and used as a medicine man, I begged for help from my family, but they kept saying that they were doing it for the future of the family. Not only did they abandon me, they even used me as an excuse to curry favor with that evil woman, hoping to get some charity."
"The Honglian family, who owed you their life-saving grace, even informed that evil woman of my plea for help in exchange for her admission to the Three Immortals Sect. As for me... that evil woman, she placed a death curse upon me. Every night, my cultivation is completely lost. It feels as if thousands of arrows pierce my heart and ants devour my body. My life is worse than death."
Xue Kong murmured softly, telling his parents about his past life. He was calm and his tone was gentle, as if what he said had nothing to do with him, but was someone else's story.
As night fell, the sky finally darkened. In the distant Yinliu City, hundreds of lights lit up, illuminating the sky and the earth.
Xue Kong stood up. He staggered a little after kneeling there for a long time, but he quickly regained his balance. He took a deep breath and took a last look at his parents' graves.
"Dad, Mom, I am an unfilial child."
"My son is about to do something extremely outrageous and abominable to both humans and gods. I have no choice but this is the only way out." Xue Kong turned around and resolutely walked deeper into the mountains.
