The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

"You will soon...know..."

Before she finished her words, she flashed and instantly appeared in front of Xi Yu and Cai Wenshuang.

She reached out and gently stroked Xiyu's face, her eyes revealing an almost morbid fascination.

"My Yu'er...you are finally...back..."

At the same time, a huge formation slowly emerged from the ground under the Xi family's ancestral home.

The core of the formation was actually the face of a young man - that face was exactly the same as Cai's father's when he was young!
Cai Wenshuang opened her eyes wide in horror. She struggled desperately but could not break free from the black chains.

“Dad…Dad!?”

The purple-clothed woman let out a sharp laugh, and that laugh, like the howling of ghosts and wolves, echoed in the empty underground palace.

"Hahaha... did you see that? This is the truth! You... are all just pawns!"

At this moment, Xi Yu suddenly discovered that the tattoo on Cai's father's neck exactly matched the pattern on the marriage certificate left by his mother!
Every line and every curve fits perfectly, as if they were originally one piece!
"Rumble--"

The imperial city began to shake violently. Huge cracks appeared on the ground. Houses collapsed and palaces tilted. The entire imperial city, as if doomsday had come, began to sink into the ground!

Xi Yu and Cai Wenshuang were tightly tied together with black chains. They were swept up by this huge force, thrown into the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.

As they fell, a space-time rift suddenly appeared and swallowed them up...

At the last moment before his consciousness disappeared, Xi Yu saw that Cai's father was standing in front of the huge formation and gave him a relieved smile.

That smile was warm and kind, like a spring breeze that dispelled all fear and anxiety.

“Let’s go.”

Chapter 228 Chapter 232 Rifts trace back time, blood scales appear

The space-time rift was like a hungry beast, devouring everything and dragging Xi Yu and Cai Wenshuang into endless darkness.

The wind was howling, and there was a heart-pounding sharp scream in my ears. My body seemed to be torn apart and then put together again.

Xi Yu felt like a fallen leaf, drifting in the boundless chaos, helpless and alone.

He subconsciously reached out and grabbed Cai Wenshuang's wrist. The cool touch made him feel a little relieved.

Suddenly, a little light appeared in the darkness, and the halo gradually expanded, eventually forming a vague figure.

Xi Yu narrowed his eyes, and the figure became clearer and clearer. It was actually the appearance of his mother when she was young!
Her eyes and eyebrows were gentle, with a faint smile on her lips, as warm as the spring sun.

"So... you are the first chosen container..." Xi Yu murmured to himself, with stormy waves in his heart.

container?

What do you mean?
What is the connection between my mother and Tianji Pavilion?
For twenty years, he always thought that Tianji Pavilion was founded by his father. Now it seems that the truth is far more complicated than he imagined.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
The inconspicuous goat pendant on Cai Wenshuang's neck suddenly emitted a dazzling light. The wooden goat seemed to come alive, stretching its limbs and turning into bronze chains that tightly wrapped around Xi Yu and Cai Wenshuang.

The chains were icy cold and hurt them.

The bronze chain was pulled violently, and the two were dragged into an unknown space like kites with broken strings.

When they came to their senses, they found themselves in an antique room.

With carved beams and painted buildings, and simple and elegant style, this is clearly the underground secret room of the Xi family's ancestral home!

In the center of the room, an illusory figure was slowly putting a jade pendant on a young child.

The child's eyebrows and eyes were clearly visible, and it was obviously the young Xi Yu!

And that illusory figure was exactly what his mother looked like when she was young.

“Remember, when blood twins appear, you must…” Xi Mu’s voice was gentle and firm, but it stopped abruptly at the critical moment.

Xi Yu's heart tightened and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

He tried desperately to hear what his mother said next, but he couldn't.

Suddenly, Xi Mu's figure turned around abruptly, and her gentle face instantly became hideous and terrifying, revealing the appearance of the woman in purple!
"You have tampered with twenty years of memory!" Xi Yu roared, and the forbidden techniques in his body erupted uncontrollably. A powerful force surged out of him, impacting everything around him.

At this moment, a deafening roar came from the ground, and a huge black figure rushed out from the ground, carrying with it tremendous resentment and murderous intent.

The figure's face could not be seen clearly, but one could feel the terrifying pressure emanating from him.

"Xi Wujiang!" Xi Yu exclaimed. That was the residual soul of his father, Xi Wujiang!

The remaining soul of Xi Wujiang let out a shrill roar and pounced towards the phantom of Xi Mu. The huge black claws tore her body apart and devoured her completely.

The secret room returned to calm, leaving only Xi Yu and Cai Wenshuang, as well as debris scattered on the ground.

"Who... is she?" Cai Wenshuang asked in a trembling voice.

Xi Yu was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "She is... my mother."

He looked up at Cai Wenshuang with a complicated look, "But, she is also..."

When the dust settled, the secret room was filled with deathly silence.

Xi Yu sat dejectedly on the ground, looking ahead with empty eyes, like a sculpture without a soul.

It was difficult for him to accept that his mother, his beloved mother, had such a deep connection with such a mysterious organization like Tianji Pavilion.

Cai Wenshuang stood aside in shock. She subconsciously stroked the goat pendant on her neck and felt a cool touch on her fingertips.

The thrilling scene just now still makes her feel frightened.

The hideousness of Xi Mu's phantom and the horror of Xi Wujiang's remaining soul were deeply imprinted in her mind and could not be erased.

Suddenly, Cai Wenshuang's eyes fell on a pile of debris scattered on the ground.

She walked over, squatted down, and carefully put the pieces together.

The fragments were pieced together into a photo, which showed a young couple. The man was handsome and the woman was gentle and lovely. They were hugging each other tightly, with happy smiles on their faces.

"This... this is..." Cai Wenshuang widened his eyes and looked at the man in the photo in disbelief.

That face, those familiar features, were exactly what her father looked like when he was young!
The woman next to him was Xiyu's mother.

"He is your real..." Cai Wenshuang suddenly raised his head and looked at Xi Yu, only to find that he was staring at him with complicated eyes.

Before she could finish her words, Xi Yu grabbed her wrist and pressed her hard onto the altar left by Xi's mother.

The touch of the cold altar made Cai Wenshuang shiver. She struggled in fear, but found that she could not move.

The goat pendant emits a dazzling light, as if it resonates with the altar.

Then, a shocking scene happened: the wooden carved goat automatically broke away from the pendant, flew to the groove in the center of the altar, and embedded itself into it perfectly.

Rumbling--

The altar emitted a low roar, and the entire secret room began to vibrate violently.

Above the altar, a stone tablet slowly rose up, on which was engraved a line of ancient words: "The twin bloodlines must be guided by the blood of first love."

"First love...love blood?" Cai Wenshuang murmured to himself, feeling an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart.

Xi Yu's gaze fell on the stone tablet, and his eyes became deep and complex.

He bit his fingertips without hesitation, and blood dripped down his fingertips. Bright red blood beads bloomed on the altar, like blooming Lycoris radiata, enchanting and weird.

He grabbed Cai Wenshuang's hand, interlocked their fingers, and pressed his bleeding fingers into her palm.

The two streams of blood blended together, emitting a strange light.

At this moment, the scene under the foundation of the Xi family's ancestral home emerged again from the cracks in time and space.

A huge bronze chain appeared before their eyes. Countless runes were entangled on the chain, flashing a faint blue light and emitting a suffocating pressure.

"What...what is this?" Cai Wenshuang's voice trembled.

Xi Yu did not answer. He stared at the huge bronze lock. He suddenly tore open his clothes, revealing a groove on his chest... Rumble - the roar of the altar was like the roar of a giant beast, making Cai Wen's eardrums buzz. Dust fell from the stone walls of the secret room, and the air was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.

The rising stone tablet and the ancient text lingered in her mind like a ghostly whisper.

"First love...blood of love?" These words pierced her heart like needles, and the tide of uneasiness almost drowned her.

Xi Yu's movements were as fast as lightning, without any hesitation.

He ripped open his clothes, revealing his muscular chest. There was a groove on his heart with a strange shape, like some ancient totem.

The skin around the groove was densely covered with dark red lines, like dormant poisonous snakes, which was frightening.

He pulled Cai Wenshuang closer and almost roughly pressed her into the bronze lock.

The huge bronze lock emitted a cold light, and the runes on the chain squirmed like living things, emitting a suffocating pressure.

Cai Wenshuang could feel the cold metallic breath seeping through her thin clothes and into her skin, causing her to shudder.

"You have to use the real one..." Xi Yu's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of unspeakable pain. He stared at Cai Wenshuang closely, with a complex light flashing in his eyes.

What is real?
Cai Wenshuang didn't have time to think about it, she instinctively bit the tip of her tongue, and a fishy and sweet taste spread.

The bright red blood dripped and fell into the groove on Xi Yu's heart.

At that moment, something strange happened.

The blood beads in the groove were like raindrops falling into a calm lake, rippling and transforming into a blooming lotus totem, enchanting and strange.

At the same time, the dark red lines on Xiyu's chest began to flow in the reverse direction, like awakened poisonous snakes, twisting wildly and emitting dazzling light.

Where their skin touched, a golden light rose up, like a divine light, illuminating the entire secret room.

Cai Wenshuang felt a powerful force surging into her body, causing her to tremble all over and almost unable to breathe.

Xiyu suddenly lowered his head and kissed her neck. His warm breath sprayed on her skin, making her feel numb.

"I held you hostage back then just to confirm..." His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of indescribable emotion.

However, before he could finish his words, something strange happened again.

Strands of purple-red blood emerged from the ground, coiled around the altar like a spirit snake, and then quickly spread and drilled into the two people's intertwined blood vessels.

The bloodstains exuded an evil aura, like a ghost from hell, which made people shudder.

At this moment, a translucent figure suddenly emerged from Xi Yu's body. It was the residual soul of Xi Wujiang!

He grabbed Cai Wenshuang's hand, interlocked their fingers, and his eyes flashed with madness.

"The real container is me and my sister!"

Immediately afterwards, an illusory figure emerged from the altar, and it turned out to be the phantom of Cai's father!
He looked at Cai Wenshuang, "No, it's me and your mother!"

Four people, two pairs of souls, intertwined together, forming a strange picture.

The roar of the altar became more intense, and the vibration of the secret room became more intense, as if the whole world was about to collapse...

Deep underground, the altar roared like thunder and rubble flew everywhere, as if doomsday had come.

There was a gleam of ruthlessness in Xi Yu's eyes. He grabbed Xi Wujiang's illusory figure and pulled him into his body like a ghost!
"You and I are one, don't even think about causing trouble again!" He growled, his voice filled with unquestionable majesty.

At the same time, the bronze lock that bound Cai Wenshuang broke with a "click", the chain flew off, and the fragments scattered everywhere.

Cai Wenshuang only felt a huge force hitting her body, pushing her back several steps.

She staggered to her feet, her chest heaving violently as if she was about to cough out her lungs.

At this moment, the pendant on Cai Wenshuang's neck suddenly emitted a dazzling light and automatically flew towards Xi Wujiang's forehead.

The pendant hovered on Xi Wujiang's forehead for a moment, and then with a "bang", it turned into a golden light and drilled into his forehead.

"So... you are the one..." Xi Wujiang's face showed an expression of disbelief. His face began to distort and deform, gradually overlapping and blending with Xi Yu's face.

Suddenly, a shrill scream broke the silence of the secret room.

The crystal coffin of the opera mother exploded, and a woman in purple jumped out from it. Her face was hideous, like a demon crawling out of hell.

The purple-clothed woman rushed towards Cai Wenshuang like lightning, holding a sharp piece of bronze lock in her hand, and stabbed it into Cai Wenshuang's heart fiercely!
"Ah!" Cai Wenshuang let out a shrill scream, blood gushed out, staining her clothes red.

She fell to the ground weakly, her vision blurred and her consciousness gradually faded.

The woman in purple stood beside Cai Wenshuang, looking down at her with a crazy light in her eyes.

“The twin bloodlines must die together in order to restart the Wheel of Heaven! Hahahaha…” Her laughter was sharp and piercing, like the cry of a night owl, creepy enough.

Seeing this, Xi Yu's eyes were bloodshot. He roared angrily and wanted to rush over to save Cai Wenshuang, but found that he could not move.

The forbidden technique in his body suddenly went out of control, and a powerful force bound him tightly, making him unable to move at all.

The altar began to shake violently, huge cracks appeared on the ground, and magma gushed out like hellfire.

The entire altar began to collapse, as if it was about to fall into the depths of the earth.

"No...don't..." Cai Wenshuang used up his last bit of strength, stretched out his hand to grab Xi Yu, but he could only watch him getting farther and farther away from him.

Xi Yu looked at Cai Wenshuang, "Shuang'er..." He uttered these two words with difficulty, his voice hoarse and weak.

At this moment, he made an astonishing move... He placed his hand on Cai Wenshuang's chest, connected his blood with hers, and then suddenly reversed it!

"You..." Cai Wenshuang widened his eyes and looked at Xi Yu in disbelief.

"You..." Cai Wenshuang felt a violent force surging into her body, and her internal organs seemed to be burned by fire, and the pain almost made her faint.

But she bit her lips tightly and held on without making any sound.

She knew that Xiyu was using his own life to exchange for hers!

Xi Yu's face was as pale as paper, but there was a resolute smile at the corner of his mouth.

He looked at Cai Wenshuang, his eyes so gentle that they could drip water: "Shuang'er, I can't let you die... I was given this life in the first place..."

He suddenly activated the forbidden technique, reversing the blood connection between himself and Cai Wenshuang!

In an instant, the runes on the altar seemed to come alive, emitting dazzling light.

The wind was howling, sand and rocks were flying, and the entire space began to distort and deform.

"No! What are you doing?!" The woman in purple screamed in horror. She felt her strength rapidly dissipating and being sucked away by an irresistible force.

"Ah——!" A shrill scream pierced the sky. The sound did not sound like a human voice, but more like the howl of a dying beast.

I saw that Xi Wujiang's residual soul was forcibly pulled out of Xi Yu's body!
The black mist twisted and struggled, but it could not resist the suction at all, and was sucked into the bronze lock on Xiyu's chest along with the body of the woman in purple!
"Twenty years ago, what you stole was not the container, but..." Xi Wujiang's voice stopped abruptly, and the bronze lock made a crisp "click" sound, sealing all the secrets inside.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
The body of the woman in purple suddenly shrank like a deflated ball, and then an illusory figure slowly emerged from her body.

It was the figure of a woman, her face was blurry, but she exuded a terrifying aura.

"Yuer..." the woman called softly, her voice gentle and sad.

Xi Yu was shocked and looked at the figure in disbelief: "Mother?!"

He will never forget this voice!

This is his mother, Xi Yu’s biological mother, the first container of Tianji Pavilion!
But wasn't she already dead?
What’s even more shocking is yet to come.

The woman's figure gradually became clear, and her face actually overlapped with Cai Wenshuang's father, Lao Cai!
"No! Impossible!" Xi Yu cried out in shock. He couldn't believe what he saw.

"I... am the true... twin blood!" The remaining soul of Xi Mu spoke intermittently, her voice filled with endless vicissitudes and sadness.

This sudden reversal caught everyone off guard.

At this moment, the pendant on Cai Wenshuang's neck suddenly emitted a dazzling light. The pendant turned into a chain and flew out like lightning, tightly binding Ximu's residual soul and the purple-clothed woman, and then strangled Xiyu's chest fiercely! (End of this chapter)
