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

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 worn on Cai Wenshuang's neck suddenly emitted a dazzling light. The pendant turned into a chain and flew out like lightning, tightly binding the remaining soul of Ximu and the woman in purple, and then strangled Xi Yu's chest fiercely!
"Ah——!" Xi Yu let out a painful roar. He felt as if his flesh and blood were being torn apart and his soul was being burned.

"Yuer, I'm sorry..." Tears of blood flowed from Xi's mother's eyes, and her voice was full of guilt and reluctance.

Xi Yu's forbidden magic patterns seemed to have come to life and began to spread wildly, quickly covering the entire altar.

The bronze lock could no longer withstand this powerful force and exploded with a loud bang!
Fragments flew everywhere like meteors across the night sky.

"Back then... you deliberately let me awaken my bloodline because..." Xi Yu stared at Xi Mu. He wanted an answer, an answer that would allow him to die with peace of mind.

But what he waited for was even deeper despair.

Xi Mu did not answer, she just resolutely stabbed the purple-clothed woman's natal Gu into Cai Wenshuang's heart!
"Shuang'er!" Xi Yu's eyes were bloodshot and he let out a heart-wrenching roar.

That voice was filled with endless anger and despair!

The purple-clothed woman's natal Gu flashed with a strange red light. It drilled into Cai Wenshuang's heart and sucked her blood greedily like a greedy leech.

“Hahahaha…cough cough…” The woman in purple let out an intermittent, hoarse, dry laugh.

Cai Wenshuang's face turned pale in an instant. She clutched the clothes in front of her chest tightly, her nails dug deeply into her flesh, and blood was dripping.

"You" Cai Wenshuang looked at Xi Yu in pain.

Cai Wenshuang felt as if her blood was boiling, and the burning pain made it almost impossible for her to breathe.

The purple-clothed woman's triumphant laughter echoed in her ears, sharp and piercing, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, making her want to tear the voice into pieces.

But she felt weak all over, and her consciousness gradually became blurred. She could only feel a cold malice spreading in her body, eroding her life.

Suddenly, a warm current surged from the depths of her heart and quickly flowed throughout her body.

This warm current carried a powerful vitality that dispelled the coldness in the body, but also brought unspeakable pain.

Cai Wenshuang groaned and suddenly opened his eyes.

Her pupils turned into dazzling gold at this moment!

Golden light burst out from her body, wrapping up the purple-clothed woman's natal Gu.

The originally arrogant poisonous insect began to tremble, twist and let out a shrill scream under the shining golden light.

It struggled desperately to escape from the golden ocean, but found itself firmly bound and unable to move.

The golden light became brighter and brighter, and finally devoured the natal Gu completely!
"No! This is impossible!" The woman in purple screamed in despair, her voice hoarse and piercing, filled with incredible horror.

She never imagined that the life-saving Gu that she had carefully cultivated would be backfired by the blood of a country girl!
Cai Wenshuang stood up slowly, golden light circulated around her body, like a goddess descending to the earth.

She looked at the woman in purple with cold eyes, devoid of any emotion.

At the same time, Xi Yu suddenly pulled off Xi Wujiang's mask. Under the mask was a familiar yet unfamiliar face.

This face is completely different from the image of his father in his memory, but it is surprisingly similar to... Lao Cai!
"You...you are my real..." Xi Yu's voice trembled, and he felt that his worldview completely collapsed at this moment.

The person he had always thought of as his enemy actually... actually...

Before he could finish, Ximu's remaining soul turned into starlight and merged into Cai Wenshuang's brow.

Cai Wenshuang's body trembled slightly, and a powerful force awakened in her body.

She felt connected to the heaven and earth, resonating with all things, as if she had the power to control everything.

Seeing this, the woman in purple knew that the situation was hopeless.

She let out a shrill scream, turned into a cloud of blood, and fled towards the underground palace of the imperial city.

At this moment, the foundation of the Xi family's ancestral home suddenly cracked, and a huge Tianji Wheel slowly rose.

The roulette wheel was made entirely of bronze and engraved with ancient runes, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura.

Xi Yu and Cai Wenshuang saw the scene on the Tianji Wheel at the same time: on it, there was a photo of Cai's father and Xi's mother when they were young!
The two of them snuggled together with sweet smiles, and the pattern on Xiyu's jade pendant actually coincided completely with the center of the wheel!

"This...what is going on?" Xi Yu muttered to himself. He felt his brain go blank and was completely unable to understand what was happening before his eyes.

"Yu'er...my child..." A gentle voice sounded in Xi Yu's ears. It was...it was his mother's voice!
"Mother? Is that you?" Xi Yu turned around suddenly, but found that there was no one behind him.

"Child, all this... is for you..." The voice gradually faded away and disappeared in the wind.

"For me? What does that mean?" Xi Yu's heart was full of doubts. He felt like he was in a fog, unable to see the direction or find the answer.

Cai Wenshuang looked at Xi Yu. She stretched out her hand, wanting to touch him, but stopped in mid-air.

"Xi Yu..."

"Shuang'er! How do you feel?" Xi Yu turned to look at Cai Wenshuang.

Cai Wenshuang did not answer, she just stared at Xi Yu closely, her eyes full of... determination!
"Xiyu, you must...kill Lao Cai!"

The purple-clothed woman's shrill scream echoed in the air, and finally turned into a thick blood mist, which suddenly rushed into the entrance of the imperial city's underground palace.

The blood mist surged like a ghost claw reaching out from the depths of hell, dragging all living beings into the endless abyss.

A fishy-sweet smell filled the air, making people sick.

Xi Yu suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, and the bright red blood splashed on the cold stone slabs, like a blooming mandala, enchanting and weird.

He grabbed Cai Wenshuang's wrist, his fingertips were cold, as if he had grabbed the last straw.

"The mechanism in the underground palace... is a trap designed by Ximu back then... She... her remaining soul is waiting for us!" His voice was hoarse, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from his throat, carrying with it the despair of impending death.

Cai Wenshuang felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. The golden blood on her wrist seemed to be stimulated by something and suddenly condensed into fine chains, tightly wrapped around the hideous old wound on Xi Yu's heart.

The severe pain made her clench her teeth and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

"You... hold on!" She uttered these two words with difficulty, her voice trembling but with unquestionable firmness.

Rumble—the stone door of the underground palace slowly opened with a dull roar, and a cold breath blew in, as if coming from an ancient cold pond.

The moment the stone gate opened, hundreds of dark guards in black armor appeared like ghosts and surrounded Xi Yu and Cai Wenshuang.

The leader was dressed in dark clothes, with a stern face and a cold smile on his lips.

He shook his wrist, and a black iron chain shot out like a poisonous snake, pointing directly at Xi Yu.

"Prime Minister, do you still remember the 'Shadow Escape Technique' you taught me?" His voice was low, with a hint of teasing, a hint of sarcasm, and a hint of...unspeakable hatred.

Xi Yu's pupils suddenly shrank, as if he had seen something incredible.

This person was the leader of the secret guards whom he personally promoted ten years ago!
The jade pendant on his waist was engraved with the same "Xi" character as him!

betray!

It tasted bitter and metallic, like a stone stuck in his throat.

How could he be so blind?

At this moment, a staggering figure rushed out from the depths of the underground palace.

That was Father Cai. He was tightly holding a half-broken bronze plate engraved with the pattern of Tianji Pavilion in his hand, his face full of anxiety.

"Wenshuang, hurry up! This underground palace was where your mother and I were..."

Before he could finish his words, the chain of the secret guard leader had pierced through his shoulder blade, and blood splattered out.

What was horrifying was that where the blood dripped, the young face of the drama mother actually emerged!

She smiled sweetly, but there was a heart-pounding chill between her eyebrows.

"Mother..." Xi Yu uttered a word with difficulty, his eyes full of disbelief.

The golden chain on his chest suddenly tightened, and the severe pain almost made him faint.

Cai Wenshuang stared at the bloodstains on the ground. That gentle face, in her eyes, looked like a devil from hell.

She turned her head abruptly and looked at Xi Yu, "Xi Yu..." She slowly raised the dagger in her hand, "For... the people of the world..." "Yu'er..."

A gentle call, as if traveling through a long time, carrying endless longing and... calculation.

The bronze lock on Xiyu's chest suddenly shattered, and a ray of faint blue light floated out from it, slowly condensing into the shadow of a white-haired old woman in mid-air.

She had a kind face, but there was a strange smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, as if she was a wolf in sheep's clothing, waiting for her prey to fall into the trap.

"Twenty years ago, I planted the core of the Heavenly Secret Wheel in your blood." The voice of the remnant spirit of Ximu was light and fluttering, like a feather, but it carried an unquestionable pressure. "All the hardships you have experienced over the years were only to allow it to thrive... Now, it's time to harvest."

She slowly raised her hand, and her fingertips flickered with a faint blue light, jumping like a will-o'-the-wisp, pointing directly at Xi Yu's heart.

At that moment, Xi Yu felt as if the blood in his body was frozen, and an indescribable sense of fear was entwined around his heart like a poisonous snake.

"You... dare to use my father as a sacrifice?!"

Cai Wenshuang's voice was sharp and angry, with a hint of trembling.

She suddenly threw the golden blood on her wrist towards the remaining soul of Xi Mu. The blood seemed to have life and turned into golden chains in the air, trying to bind the remaining soul of Xi Mu.

However, the moment the golden chain touched the remaining soul of Xi Mu, it seemed to have met its nemesis. It broke into pieces and turned into golden light that dissipated into the air.

The remaining soul of Xi Mu smiled contemptuously, as if mocking Cai Wenshuang's overestimation of his own abilities.

Rumbling--

At this moment, the dome of the underground palace suddenly lit up, and a dazzling light projected down, forming a huge projection on the ground.

In that projection, it was the young mother Xi and father Cai!
They stood side by side, with happy smiles on their faces, and the background was... Tianji Pavilion!

"This..." Cai Wenshuang's pupils suddenly shrank. She stared at the projection, her eyes full of disbelief.

She had never seen her father so happy, nor had she ever heard him mention this past event.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The leader of the secret guards suddenly burst into wild laughter, then he swung his sword back and stabbed Xi Yu in the back!
"careful!"

Cai Wenshuang cried out in surprise and rushed forward without thinking, blocking the fatal sword with his body.

puff-

The sound of the sharp blade piercing into flesh was particularly harsh in the silent underground palace.

Cai Wenshuang groaned, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

But she held Xi Yu tightly to prevent him from getting hurt.

"So... you are the spy sent by Xi Wujiang!" Cai Wenshuang's voice was hoarse and a little weak, but her eyes were unusually firm. (End of this chapter)
