In ancient times, they secretly became gods in the deep mountains.

Chapter 72 is shocking
Wu Huier found herself being supported by two strong old women, one on each side. She felt her eyes were dry, her whole body ached, and her throat was extremely hoarse.

Beside her, her mother and husband, drenched in sweat, looked at her with worried expressions.

In the end what happened?
Why does she have no memory of anything?

Seeing that Wu Huier had finally calmed down, not only did Old Madam Wu breathe a sigh of relief, but the two old women also breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Although they were strong, the madwoman was as strong as a bull.

From the moment he first saw the two children, Zhang Heng was in a daze until he saw them help his wife regain her senses, at which point he was completely shocked.

how could be?

How could there be gods in this world? But they don't seem like monsters either; the monsters in storybooks eat people.

They also kindly saved people.

His mind was a complete mess.

When Madam Wu saw that her daughter had finally regained consciousness, she quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you, two celestial children, for saving my daughter!"

Seeing her son-in-law's shocked expression, she wasn't surprised. Isn't this how ordinary people react when they see a deity? She was initially shocked as well, but the fact that her decades-old beliefs had been shattered was indeed shocking.

"My two celestial attendants, why did the Golden Saintess seek my son-in-law? And what is the truth behind the cloth infested with insects?" she asked softly.

"You should hear the culprit's account of this matter firsthand. Now, come with us to Qihuang Mountain to meet the Goddess." Shuiwa didn't say much more.

She drew a circle in the air, and a light blue array halo rose up. The three members of the Wu family felt their feet lighten, and in the blink of an eye, the scene changed. Green trees and vines, mountains and water complemented each other, and the scenery here was excellent.

"Oh my!" Wu Huier exclaimed in surprise, "Ah! I was in my own room, how did I end up in another place? This...this..."

Huowa led them forward: "This place is called Qihuang Mountain. Ahead is the Golden Saint Divine Palace where the Empress resides. Come with us."

Madam Wu said nothing.

She grabbed her daughter's hand and obediently followed in the footsteps of Huowa and Shuiwa.

Zhang Heng looked at the two children from left to right and gained a deeper understanding of their abilities.

They can travel a thousand miles in a day.

The person they call "Empress" is probably even more powerful.

He took a deep breath and followed his mother-in-law and wife.

After walking several dozen steps, the three suddenly saw a grand hall in mid-air, shrouded in mist and with cranes flying and calling. A huge, magical peach tree stood above the hall, like an ancient god overlooking the earth, sacred and majestic.

“Minmin!”

Seeing her granddaughter sitting on the ground, seemingly lost in thought, Old Madam Wu quickly let go of her daughter's hand and stepped forward. Touching Wu Minmin's pale face, she asked with concern, "Child, what... what's wrong with you?"

“Grandmother! Father, Mother!” Wu Minmin silently shed tears: “The water monster said that the worms on our family’s cloth were caused by it. It said that all of this is related to my father, and that it is doing this to take revenge on him.”

Zhang Heng was shocked: "Minmin, don't let the monster bewitch you. How could I possibly have a grudge against a water monster? It's a water monster and I'm just a mortal. If we had a grudge, it could have killed me easily. Why would it have kept me alive until today?"

"Are you Zhang Heng?" Suddenly, a melodious female voice seemed to blend into the deep mountains, its sound reaching every corner, clear and melodious.

Outside the Divine Palace, everyone was shocked.

Wu Huier covered her mouth tightly, her soft voice leaking out from between her fingers: "Could this be the legendary Golden Saintess? There really are immortals on Seven Emperors Mountain! Heavens... Madam Jiang didn't lie to me!"

immortal!

The gods have appeared!
Old Madam Wu knelt down, trembling all over.

Zhang Heng knelt down as well. The facts were right in front of him, leaving him no choice but to believe that the person before him was a deity: "This humble citizen Zhang Heng greets Your Majesty."

Gu Yuexi explained to him, "The water monster said its revenge against the Wu family is related to you..."

She repeated what the water monster had said.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Heng retorted, "Your Majesty, how could this be? I have never even seen it before, so how could I have any grudge against it? Moreover, I am too weak to even catch a chicken, so how could I possibly commit murder and dispose of a body?"

"It must be the water monster that deliberately dragged me into the water to escape punishment."

Madam Wu and Wu Hui'er also did not believe it.

The son-in-law/husband is always gentle and kind to others, and would never do something like murder.

But then they suddenly remembered that these were the words of a fairy goddess, and they became uncertain again, their hearts filled with unease.

The water monster raised its head, revealing its true form, and glared angrily: "Zhang Heng, you ruined my cultivation, and now you're spouting nonsense. Years ago, you threw a child covered in blood into the lake where I cultivated. Her remains are still at the bottom of the lake. Are you only going to admit it when you see the coffin?" Zhang Heng shook his head and denied it: "I never did any of those things you're talking about!"

"Whether it has been done or not, I have my own ways of finding out."

Gu Yuexi did not force Zhang Heng to confess.

"Water monster, I have detected a wisp of a lonely soul on you. The yin energy on you is caused by her. If you are willing, I can remove her for you."

"What?" This statement greatly shocked the water monster.

Gu Yuexi said, "You use reduplicated sounds when you speak. Haven't you ever suspected anything?"

The water monster shook its head and replied, "I always thought it was caused by the destruction of my cultivation, but I never expected that there was a lonely soul on my body. I never suspected it before. Please, Your Majesty, remove it from my body."

Several more streams of spiritual energy flew out from within the Divine Palace and enveloped the water monster.

"what!"

The water monster let out a scream, feeling as if its soul was shattering.

"what!"

Then another scream from a girl was heard.

The water monster's repeated sounds transformed into two distinct voices.

Everyone present was stunned!

They had never seen such a magical scene before.

Gu Yuexi didn't suspect anything at first, but later she noticed that the water monster would unconsciously release yin energy when it spoke, which puzzled her greatly. How could a water monster with such low power, whose demonic energy was extremely weak, possibly have strong yin energy on its body? Moreover, it would lose control of its reason when releasing yin energy.

It seemed as if these yin energies did not belong to it.

It belongs to someone else.

After thinking it through, she suddenly realized the truth.

She had heard a saying that ghosts would choose to parasitize a powerful host in order to make their cultivation easier.

In this way, when the host body cultivates, the ghosts and monsters will also benefit.

"Ahhh—" After the two voices separated and overlapped many times, finally, a faint shadow appeared on the body of the water monster.

"You should come out yourself, or I should use my magic to pull your remnant soul out. In the latter case, your soul will definitely be damaged."

Gu Yuexi spoke to the ghost that was parasitizing the water monster.

"boom!"

She threw out a red phantom.

Another red-clad ghost?
However, it was clearly more powerful than the group raised by Ming Ke and Ming Wu combined.

However, its soul is severely damaged at this moment.

"Damn it!"

Wu Minmin saw through the ghostly and eerie makeup to see her true face.

"She's Caoya, Dad. Didn't you say you'd send her home?"

Wu Minmin looked at her father, whose face was deathly pale, in disbelief.

"Why is Cao Ya here?" she demanded of her father.

"Who is Cao Ya?" Old Madam Wu asked, puzzled.

Looking back, they saw their daughter lying on the ground, her face filled with terror. Clearly, they all knew the origin of the ghost before them.

"Fine, fine, fine!" Old Madam Wu's eyes reddened as she angrily said, "You've all been keeping this from me, haven't you?"
