Zheng Duo's chilling words abruptly halted Zheng Qiulin's desolate, maniacal laughter!
Then, tears welled up in Zheng Qiulin's eyes as if from a spring!
But he felt no joy, no excitement; instead, he felt a deeper sense of disgust and revulsion!
He stared intently at Zheng Duo, and at his own father!
At that moment, in his eyes, his father seemed to have become a completely unfamiliar madman, a beast!
"The position of family head??"
"The most outstanding son??"
"You think I'd care? You think..."
"Zheng Qiulin!! You are a member of the Zheng family!! You have the purest bloodline of the Zheng family in your veins!!"
"From a young age, you have enjoyed all the rights, benefits, honors, and capital of being the young master of the Zheng family!"
"This is the greatest fact imprinted in your blood, unchangeable and impossible to alter!!"
Zheng Duo roared, drowning out Zheng Qiulin's voice!
At this moment, Zheng Duo was panting heavily, as if he had become a wounded wild beast!
His voice was loud, as if he had used all his strength!
as if……
It was also to suppress the surging thoughts in my heart!
Zheng Qiulin stopped speaking and remained silent, standing still in place.
"Tuoyang Universe... Zheng Family..."
Do you know the weight and significance of this statement when looking at this vast starry sky, and even within the Southern Frontier Cosmic Alliance?
"How much effort and sacrifice did the ancestors of the Zheng family make for this sentence, for the sake of the Zheng family's prosperity, honor, and power?" Zheng Duo's voice became deep, as if it had taken on a demonic quality.
"The Zheng family is enormous!"
"It has been passed down for so long to reach its current scale!"
"We've only occupied a portion of the Tuoyang Universe, and we've only earned our reputation and glory in this region!"
How much did those ancestors sacrifice?
"The reason why my Zheng family has been able to prosper for so long is that our family history shows that we survived three crises!"
"It was because of these three near-extinction crises, all of which were orchestrated by fate, that we successfully opened the 'Cloud and Water Divine Treasury' each time, gaining the confidence to turn the tide and launch a counterattack from the brink of defeat!!"
"Those three wives of the three family heads!"
"They are not called sacrifices, nor are they called offerings; they should be called...glories!!"
"Now, it has been passed down to my generation, and the key has reacted again!"
"It's your mother's turn now!!"
"This should also be called... Glory!!"
"How many ancestors died for the sake of the Zheng family's eternal legacy?"
"They can die, they can sacrifice themselves, but your mother can't?"
"Once the Cloud and Water Divine Treasury reopens, do you know how many opportunities and fortunes we will gain? How much more resources and trump cards will the Zheng family accumulate?"
"Zheng Qiulin!"
"I'm telling you!!"
Zheng Duo's voice suddenly became shrill, frantic, and even hysterical!
"your mother!"
"Wang Qiuyan!"
She is the woman I love most!
"Without exception!"
Do you think I'm not in pain?
But I have no choice!
"I have no choice!!"
"For the family!! For the family's glory, to continue, to endure forever!"
"Some prices must be paid!"
"For the sake of the family's enduring legacy, everything can be sacrificed!!"
"You can't understand now, but one day, when you become the head of the family, you'll have a chance to understand! You will definitely understand!!"
Zheng Duo's roar seemed to come from the depths of his soul!
Zheng Qiulin, who remained motionless, seemed to have listened to Zheng Duo's words the whole time. His face was blank, but at this moment, he finally revealed a strange smile again. He stared at Zheng Duo, his voice still cold.
"Unfortunately, what does the Zheng family you speak of, this so-called foundation that will last for generations, amount to in front of Lord Maple Leaf?"
"If Lord Maple Leaf wanted to, he could easily destroy the Zheng family, destroy everything!"
"For the sake of the family, he turned himself into something neither human nor ghost!"
"If it were for the right reasons, that would be fine, but it is built on the lives of countless ladies from previous generations!"
"Don't you ever think about why it needs to be kept secret? Why can't it be made public?"
"Isn't it just guilt and unease in your heart?"
"hehe……"
"You're right, the blood of the Zheng family does flow in my veins, I am a member of the Zheng family!"
"If one day I really become the head of the Zheng family, perhaps in the future I will really become like you! I will regard the honor and mission of the family as greater than the sky!"
"I don't deny that."
"But I'm so glad now... at least I know the truth now!"
"Whether you say I've let down the Zheng family, that I'm a traitor, or that I'm talking without understanding the situation, it's all up to you!"
"I accept it all! I don't care about anything!!"
"All I know is..."
"Who dares to sacrifice my mother's life to benefit their so-called family!"
"I'll fight anyone who tries!"
"I want them dead!!!"
"Whoever he is!!"
"Such a Zheng family..."
"I wouldn't stoop to that!"
"Fine... I don't want it!!"
Zheng Qiulin's voice wasn't loud, but at this moment, it carried an undeniable determination!
His voice was resounding and powerful, possessing a heart-stirring strength!
At this moment, Zheng Duo, who was kneeling, had a drastic change in expression. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word.
He just stared intently at Zheng Qiulin, and finally murmured the words "unfilial son" over and over again.
Qin Qiufeng and Zhao Qianyi, who were huddled to the side, felt a sense of shared sorrow at the loss of their comrade.
Whether it was the astonishing truth before them, or the fact that the "Wang Qiuyan" in Zheng Duo's words was the woman he loved most, they were all in a daze, feeling bitterness, fear, and emptiness in their hearts.
Old Lei, Uncle Chen, and Mr. Wang were all looking at Zheng Qiulin, at his back, and they all saw a young master who was both affectionate and righteous!
Meanwhile, Ye Wuque was constantly investigating the condition inside Wang Qiuyan's body.
He wasn't particularly interested in the confrontation between Zheng Qiulin and his son Zheng Duo, nor in the history and secrets of the Zheng family.
After all, every powerful and long-standing force has its share of dark and negative aspects.
Even the "Great Thousand Divine Universe" cannot escape this point, let alone a mere Zheng family.
But at that moment, Ye Wuque's eyes, which had been closed, suddenly opened again!
He raised his right hand, his index and middle fingers forming a pinching motion, and suddenly stabbed it towards Wang Qiuyan's heart!
Pfft!
Wang Qiuyan's abdomen was instantly pierced, but Ye Wuque's speed was extremely fast!
His right hand was withdrawn in an instant.
Wang Qiuyan's abdominal wound healed immediately.
Between Ye Wuque's two fingers was a key that was entirely black, yet wriggling with an eerie black light!
He looked on indifferently and spoke softly.
"Is this the demonic key that drains life force?"
"It really is disgusting..."
