“They’re all dead…” Cao Junchang choked up as he recounted what he had seen and heard on his trip, as well as what they had done.
Even though Cao Xiaosi was a magnanimous man, he was heartbroken when he heard that his entire Cao family had been wiped out. He fell to his knees, and tears streamed down his face.
This is all the consequence of his willful and reckless behavior.
If it weren't for his greed for those two sips of wine;
If it weren't for him disregarding his two older sisters' feelings and repeatedly insisting on arranging marriages for them;
The two older sisters will not know their two brothers-in-law, nor will they get involved in the Black Purgatory and die because of it;
The Cao family will not suffer as a result!
And the two brothers-in-law will not have their reputations tarnished as a result.
"I am a sinner. I have let down everyone in the Cao family and my two brothers-in-law. Fortunately, the Ninth Princess is alright. Otherwise, I could not atone for my sins even if I died ten thousand times. Father, brothers-in-law, Ninth Prince, please hit me!" Cao Xiaosi lay on the ground, crying his heart out.
Ji Chenhai and Shang Xiye were shocked. They quickly pulled Ji Fengyao up and down to make sure she was alright before they breathed a sigh of relief.
Both of them broke out in a cold sweat!
Shang Xiye pulled the little bandit into his arms tightly and whispered, "My little wife, you're always so careful. Why did you take such a risk this time? What would I do if something happened to you? Don't do things like this again."
"I didn't know that Black Purgatory would actually send a Foundation Establishment cultivator this time, and that person was an old acquaintance of ours," Ji Fengyao said with lingering fear.
"An old acquaintance?" Ji Chenhai, Ji Fengming, and Hei Xiao looked at Ji Fengyao with suspicion.
Ji Fengyao was about to explain in detail when she saw Cao Jinchang and Cao Xiaosi kneeling on the ground.
Her father, her brother, and the prince were so focused on her that they temporarily overlooked the two people in question.
Ji Fengyao stepped forward and advised, "Uncle Cao, Fourth Brother, please get up. What's done is done, and crying our eyes out won't help now. Get up, and let's analyze and discuss it together so that we can be mentally prepared when facing the Black Purgatory again in the future."
"Ah, right, in-law, get up quickly, we're all family, no need for formalities," Ji Chenhai realized and quickly helped Cao Jinchang up.
Ji Fengming pulled Cao Xiaosi up from the ground and said, "A real man repays kindness and avenges wrongs. What kind of behavior is this, crying and wailing? Get up and learn about your enemies. Once we catch those bastards, we can take our revenge however we want!"
Cao Jinchang and Cao Xiaosi were not originally such pretentious people, but the blow was too great for them to bear, and they felt guilty, so they acted this way.
After listening to everyone's advice, the father and son quickly wiped away their tears.
Cao Jinchang said firmly, "Fengming is right. Now is not the time to cry. Black Purgatory is a powerful force. We must deal with it carefully and protect ourselves in order to have any hope of avenging our great grudge!"
They managed to persuade Cao Jinchang and his son.
Shang Xiye turned back and asked, "Little wife, you said that person is someone we know very well, who is it?"
“Li Yu, who fought against us in Kyoto,” Ji Fengyao said.
"It's him?" Black Owl was also somewhat surprised: "He's reached the Foundation Establishment stage?"
"The key point isn't that he's reached Foundation Establishment, but the strange purple restriction within his sea of consciousness. The self-destruction of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator wouldn't have that much power, but with this restriction, Li Yu almost destroyed an entire city," Ji Fengyao said solemnly.
