Midnight.

Mingyu Lane.

Cheng Qingyu walked in the narrow alley.

After a while, they arrived in front of a quiet courtyard.

She knelt in front of the gate and said, "Mom, I'm here."

The courtyard door opened, and a woman who looked somewhat similar to Tian Huang Nu appeared. She helped Cheng Qingyu up and said with a smile:

"Daughter, you behaved very well today. I saw it all."

Cheng Qingyu was delighted: "Really? Mother, you were also in the Tiandao Fighting Field during the day?"

The woman nodded and raised her hand to gently stroke the hair on Cheng Qingyu's forehead:

"Back then, Zhu Yinrong and your father left Tianhuang Mountain and practiced the Soul Separation and Avatar Art. That's how mother was born. But Zhu Yinrong changed his mind about your father and would rather turn into ashes than be with your father."

"My mother absorbed her Divine Phoenix Flame, and it took her ten years to transform it into the Black Phoenix Flame that I could use."

"It only took you half a year to master it. Although its power is still insufficient, you are already a natural talent. Mother is proud of you."

Cheng Qingyu said happily: "Thank you, mother. What about father? Did he see my performance today?"

"Your father is waiting for someone here today."

Black Phoenix said.

"Waiting for someone?"

Cheng Qingyu's expression changed slightly: "Dad is waiting..."

"Qingyu, come in."

A gentle yet magnetic voice was heard from the wooden house in the courtyard.

Black Phoenix's expression immediately became one of awe and admiration, and he immediately stepped aside and whispered, "Go quickly."

Cheng Qingyu was also a little nervous, but also a little excited. He walked quickly into the yard, and when he saw the wooden house with its door open, he paused slightly, clenched his fists, and strode into the wooden house.

Then there was a cry of surprise.

The wooden house is simply furnished with a table, a cabinet and a bed.

It looks like a very ordinary house.

But there was a woman in a plain white dress lying on the bed.

Cheng Qingyu exclaimed: "Dan Tai Ming Yue!?"

**The lying woman was none other than the acting leader of Zhenyang Sect, Tan Tai Ming Yue.

At this moment, her whole body was restrained, unable to move, her eyes were red, tears kept flowing, and she stared blankly at the man standing at the head of the bed.

The man was wearing a Taoist robe, had a neat bun on his hair, and looked elegant and gentle. If he were on the street, he would be an easy-going Taoist priest.

If he were in a sect, he would be an ordinary cultivator.

But at this moment, he was standing beside the bed, and his body was subdued by a Nascent Soul peak cultivator. This scene was weird and shocking.

"Master, it turns out that Cheng Qingyu is really the son of you and the Black Phoenix. What about the young master of the Spirit Corpse Mountain? Is he also your son?"

Tan Tai Ming Yue looked at the middle-aged man with tears streaming down her face.

The man lowered his head and looked at Tan Tai Ming Yue tenderly:

"Junior sister, I'm sorry. I lied to you for so many years. I had no choice."

Tan Tai Ming Yue's eyes were red: "Brother, are you really the owner of Ling Shi Mountain who killed countless lives?"

The man said nothing and continued to look at her tenderly.

"Brother, every time there is a trial in the Northern Wilderness, there are disciples who are captured by the Spirit Corpse Mountain. Some female disciples are refined into spirit corpses, their souls are scattered, and they die without any dignity. You did all this?"

"How could it be, Junior Sister, how could I be so cruel?"

The man said softly, "That was all done by my men. How could I do such a dirty thing myself?"

“Senior Brother!!”

Tan Tai Ming Yue's voice was hoarse. She struggled violently but could not break free. Her chest rose and fell violently as she shouted:

"Why? You are already the head of Zhenyang Sect, why do you still do these things? Why did you lie to me?!"

"Master of Zhenyang Sect?"

The man sat down and gently stroked Tan Tai Ming Yue's hair:

"Junior sister, do you really think that I did all this just for the sake of a mere Zhenyang Sect leader?"

"You ask me why?"

The man's hand stroked Tan Tai Ming Yue's cheek and shoulder... Tan Tai Ming Yue was trembling all over, with blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, but the man still smiled and said softly:

"What do those who practice cultivation seek?"

"You think it's just living a few thousand more years, having a few more Taoist companions, and a few more offspring?"

“You are wrong!”

"What I want is to ascend to the upper realm, become an immortal for all eternity, and live as long as the heaven and earth!"

"And you are nothing more than a love interest of mine in the underworld."

"I am proud enough that you can give birth to a daughter for me."

"Stop talking!" Tan Tai Ming Yue opened her eyes wide, her beautiful eyes were full of bloodshot, and she said loudly unwillingly:

"Brother, if you want to ascend, I can help you. Why do you want to do these evil things?"

The man shook his head and laughed: "If I could easily ascend to heaven, why would I stay in Zhenyang Mountain? If people in the world could easily ascend to heaven, why has no one dared to enter the state of transformation for five hundred years?"

"Junior sister, there are many things you don't understand."

"I don't understand, Senior Brother, why have you become like this?" Tan Tai Ming Yue burst into tears and looked at the man infatuatedly:

"Brother, where did you go, the one who cared about the people and felt compassion for them?"

The man smiled and said, "Junior sister, you are so stupid. Of all the women I have, you are the second stupidest. I have never changed, but you... have been deceiving yourself."

The man stood up and said to Cheng Qingyu who had been kneeling on the ground: "After the Feixian Ceremony ends tomorrow, bring Suxin, Ruomei, and Wu Yiren here."

"Yes, Daddy."

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother! What do you want to do?" Tan Tai Mingyue panicked and struggled again, but was unable to move.

The man said softly: "Junior sister, don't worry, I just want our family to be reunited."

"Then why did you arrest Ruomei and Wu Yiren? Brother, you are hiding something from me, right?"

Tan Tai Ming Yue struggled and begged: "Brother, Xin Er is your biological daughter, she knows nothing, please don't hurt her."

"Junior sister, you are so stupid. I hope our daughter is not as stupid as you."

The man stood up. At this time, Hei Huang also walked in from outside. He and Cheng Qingyu snuggled on both sides of the man, and the three of them walked out of the house.

Tan Tai Ming Yue screamed: "Chen Qing Mo!!"

Bang.

The three of them walked out of the house and closed the door.

The room returned to darkness.

…

Chang'an Palace.

The courtyard where Tan Tai Ming Yue lived.

"Mother, mother?"

Su Xin stood outside the door and knocked gently, but no one responded.

She pushed the door open and there was no one in the room.

"Where did mother go?"

Su Xin was a little worried because after the second round of the Bai Tian Fei Xian Ceremony ended, Tan Tai Ming Yue disappeared.

Su Xin sent a message to Tan Tai Ming Yue using a sound transmission talisman, but there was no reply.

"Mom is at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. No one in the world can hurt her. She must have gone out for something."

Su Xin muttered to herself, then suddenly turned around, frowning slightly: "Junior Sister Lin, why are you here?"

Lin Qingchou walked into the yard, followed by Chun Ningzhi. Su Xin was startled: "Junior Brother Chun, why are you with Junior Sister Lin?"

Chun Ningzhi did not answer her, but followed behind Lin Qingchou. Lin Qingchou chuckled and stretched out her hand to Chun Ningzhi: "Kneel down."

Chun Ningzhi immediately knelt on one knee, held Lin Qingchou's hand, placed it on his face, his eyes showing obsession.

Su Xin's eyes widened in disbelief: "Junior Brother Chun, what are you doing?!"

Then he looked at Lin Qingchou coldly: "Junior Sister Lin, what did you do to him?!"

Lin Qingchou smiled and said, "Senior Sister Su, the master wants to see you, let's go."

"Master? Who?" Su Xin frowned.

Lin Qingchou laughed: "So Senior Sister Su is still in the dark? My master is, of course, Junior Sister Ruo!"
