The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 106 The Entrustment, the Enemy

Reaching the legendary realm is extremely dangerous, and Zhang Yi believed that Sun Yunshan would not have kept some secrets from his own daughter before making a legendary breakthrough.

“I…!” Sun Yuyang was extremely surprised and vaguely guessed the other party’s purpose. Just as Zhang Yi had expected, Sun Yunshan had indeed told Sun Yuyang the secret in order to reduce his worries.

That night, when Sun Yunshan transmitted his voice to Sun Yuyang, he said, "Yuyang, I am now giving you half of the key to open the Ice Jade Pavilion as an engagement gift between you and Yi'er!"

"Dad! Why only half? And you think you can get rid of your daughter and son-in-law with just a broken key?" The pretty woman pouted, looking reproachful.

"Haha! A broken key?" Sun Yunshan chuckled self-deprecatingly, but he wasn't annoyed. He explained in a low voice, "The Flame Dragon Fire Crystal Stone, the treasure of the Sulfur Fire Sect, was entrusted to me by Yi'er and Cheng'er's master, the Fire Evil Daoist, before he died. It's inside!"
The Water Dragon Frost Jade, passed down from our clan's first ancestor, is so powerful that it makes countless legendary experts envious and want to draw their swords against each other!

Your great-grandfather almost lost his life because of this, but fortunately, as time passed, not many people remembered that our Sun family of Sunset City possessed this priceless treasure!

"Hiss! Doesn't that mean there might be someone else who knows the location of the Ice Jade Pavilion? What if someone gets there first and opens it first? Wouldn't Father be giving away someone else's dowry!" When she heard this news, Sun Yuyang was shocked, but she didn't forget to tease her father.

"Don't worry! Unless a legendary peak Ghost Spirit Master of the fourteenth rank personally arrives, the Ice Jade Pavilion can only be opened when the two Ice Jade Pendants are combined into one...!" The old man smiled gently, his face full of pride.

Before disappearing, he secretly transmitted his voice: The one who sealed the Ice Jade Pavilion was none other than our Sun family's first ancestor, Sun Quan. At that time, his cultivation had reached the peak of the fourteenth level, and he had even touched the threshold of the epic-level overlord ghost spirit master!

……

"Alright, stop explaining! His purpose in destroying my sect was to obtain that supreme treasure. As for his act of mercy in taking in me and Qi Cheng, it was only because he felt guilty towards our sect!" Seeing the pretty woman stammering with her head down, Zhang Yi interrupted her directly and sneered again.

"You...!?" Just waking up from her reverie, having heard such astonishing words countless times, Sun Yuyang felt a roar in her mind, as if it were about to explode.

For a moment, she forgot to refute, and just kept shaking her head, leaving behind an incredulous expression.

Not only Sun Yuyang and the deceased Sun Yunshan could not have imagined it, but even the Fire Demon Daoist of that year probably never expected that the misunderstanding caused by his well-intentioned entrustment would be so profound!

"This engagement jade pendant, along with mine, is being returned to you!" The man's right hand trembled as he tossed the half of the jade pendant he had found, along with his own, into the hands of the astonished, pretty woman.

He wouldn't have said such cruel things unless absolutely necessary.

"Zhang Yi! Do you know what you're saying? You have to give it back to me! This is a token of love that my father gave us!" Holding the two jade pendants in her palm, Sun Yuyang was indeed angered by the other party's actions.

"Heh heh! I don't deserve to have what your father gave me! You should take it and go find true love!" Just as he was hesitating whether to reveal the mystery of the jade pendant, Zhang Yi's words, full of grievance, completely enraged the pretty woman.

In truth, Zhang Yi was also deeply pained after throwing away the jade pendant. Knowing he was about to die, and not wanting Sun Yuyang to be too heartbroken after his death, Zhang Yi deliberately uttered these heartless words.

“Foolish Zhang Yi! The reason I didn’t give you the Flame Dragon Fire Crystal Stone earlier was because you weren’t strong enough yet, and I was afraid it would bring you a fatal disaster! Back then, your master, the Fire Evil Daoist, specifically instructed my father: you must wait until your cultivation reaches the tenth level and your wings are fully grown before you can tell me about the Flame Dragon Fire Crystal Stone and the mystery of the massacre of your clan.”

After a furious outburst, despite tears streaming down her face and her voice hoarse, Sun Yuyang felt much better.

"Then who is my enemy?!" Turning his head to look at the misty ice coffin, Zhang Yi caught a glimpse of a playful look on the beautiful woman's lips out of the corner of his eye. He couldn't help but frown, and began to doubt the words that the withered old man had once told him.

"Bai Wu, the branch leader of the Evil Spirit Master organization!" Upon hearing this, Ruan Xinrou and the black-robed figure were both surprised. Just as Zhang Yi looked puzzled, Sun Yuyang's next words were all too familiar to him.

"A legendary powerhouse, titled—White Bone General!"

"Hahaha~! Sun Yuyang, I didn't realize you knew so much!" The beautiful woman who had been observing coldly suddenly burst into hearty laughter, looking at the pretty girl with great admiration.

"No, this isn't true!" Upon receiving Ruan Xinrou's tacit approval, Zhang Yi was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. He then muttered to himself in a daze, recalling the bits and pieces of the past.

It seemed that the old man lying in the ice coffin in front of him was genuinely concerned about him. Only now, combined with Ruan Xinrou's earlier words, "You haven't avenged your great grudge," did Zhang Yi realize how badly he had been deceived by the two old men.

"Hmph!" Sun Yuyang snorted coldly, glancing coldly at the smug and beautiful woman. Knowing that she and Zhang Yi would both lose their lives today, she hardened her heart and turned to mock Zhang Yi, who was filled with regret.

"Didn't you want the Flame Dragon Fire Crystal Stone? It's in the Ice Jade Pavilion! These two jade pendants in my hand, the ones my father gave me and the ones you threw away, are... the keys to opening the Ice Jade Pavilion!"

Boom! A loud explosion rang out.

As soon as the words were spoken, a glint appeared in the eyes of two people. A gust of cold wind swept by, and Sun Yuyang and Zhang Yi were startled at the same time. They turned their heads in horror to look at the beautiful woman who had already circled behind them and was laughing wildly.

"How could you... completely restored!" Sun Yuyang was utterly shocked. She had originally planned to destroy the jade pendant, as if to take it with her and Zhang Yi, but who would have thought that the other party could restore it in the blink of an eye...

"Damn it!" Old Ku withdrew his hand and cursed under his breath. He hadn't expected Ruan Xinrou to act so quickly, snatching the two jade pendants away in the few seconds that he was distracted.

Now that the jade pendant is in Ruan Xinrou's hands, he has to be careful. If he shows up and tries to snatch it by force, given Ruan Xinrou's temper, she might cause a mutual destruction if she is no match for him!
"I've got it! I can use demonic transformation...!" The withered old man was overjoyed, remembering what the other party had drunk!
"Zhang Yi! If I told you I had a way to save you, all you had to do was abandon Sun Yuyang, turn around and tell me 'I love you' in exchange, could you do that?"

After the beautiful woman smiled, she turned around and stared intently at Zhang Yi.

The saying goes, "cast a long line to catch a big fish," but it seems the line has been cast too long... to the point that it's a bit hard to reel it in! The "Sunset City Trip" is an important subplot that reveals the bigger picture, and I didn't want to gloss over it in a rushed way, which ultimately resulted in a somewhat... drawn-out episode!
