With three supreme masters, they were invincible upon descending the mountain.

Liu Xuerou's eyes were filled with tears, but her face had a happy smile.

Looking at her husband and son, whose faces were beaming with joy, she felt as if she were dreaming.

I've imagined countless times the scene of meeting my son and the picture of our family reunion.

Little did I expect that we would reunite in this place and in this way.

She hugged Ye Yaocheng's hand even tighter.

I just want to hold you like this forever, I don't want to be apart for even a moment.

I want to make up for all the longing I've felt over the past twenty years.

The same goes for Ye Feng.

Although he remained silent, his trembling hands betrayed the turmoil in his heart.

Looking at the heartwarming scene between the mother and son, and especially at Ye Yaocheng's happiness, he felt only deep guilt.

Back then, the decision to dig out Ye Yaocheng's supreme bone... was something he gritted his teeth and was the first to agree to.

He felt very reluctant at that time.

But he knew what the sealed thing would look like if it were to reappear.

The first to be affected were their own people.

So, he was the first to make the decision.

To avoid causing trouble for his people, he even personally dug out his son's supreme bone.

That was his own son! He was so young when his supreme bone was forcibly taken away.

At that moment, he could clearly feel his heart bleeding.

Every time he dreams, he sees his resolute demeanor and his child's heart-wrenching screams.

From then on, he could clearly feel that his wife had become much more distant from him.

However, given the circumstances at the time, he really had no choice.

Rather than putting his people in a difficult position, he decided to end things himself.

He remained silent for a long time, organizing his thoughts and even preparing his explanation.

Even if Ye Yaocheng disowns him as his father after finding out, that's fine too.

But today, he is determined to explain the situation clearly.

But every time I try to say something, it gets stuck in my throat, and I don't know how to start.

Finally, all I could say, filled with remorse, was, "Child... I'm sorry..."

"What happened back then... I..."

However, Ye Yaocheng simply said calmly, "I don't blame you, Father."

He looked at Ye Feng with sincere eyes.

"On the way here, the clan chief told me everything."

"And so many years have passed..."

Let bygones be bygones.

Looking at his son like this, Ye Feng felt only boundless satisfaction, but also a deeper sense of guilt.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Yaocheng was the first to release the two of them, a satisfied smile on his face.

Years of experience have honed his ability to view everything rationally, regardless of the circumstances.

He looked at the four people sitting cross-legged on the formation with curiosity.

"Mom and Dad, where exactly is this place?"

"What are Uncle Ye and the others doing?"

"And that castle outside..."

At this moment, Ye Yaocheng was like a curious child, asking all his questions.

With a smile on her face, Liu Xuerou patiently explained, "A very terrifying being is sealed here."

"It's something the Ye family has been protecting for generations."

She pointed to the castle outside.

"That castle is a very powerful magical artifact used to suppress that guy."

"We call him—the King of the Others."

"His strength lies in his near-invincibility."

"He can continuously split into other races, and as long as one of them exists, he will not die."

"So we use this formation to restrict everything about him."

Ye Feng listened from the side, his lips twitching; he actually wanted to say something too.

To be honest, he felt somewhat sorry for his wife.

In the end, all I could do was listen silently from the sidelines.

Although Liu Xuerou didn't look at him, after so many years of marriage, how could she not know what he was thinking?

I nudged him gently with my elbow.

Ye Feng immediately understood, glanced gratefully at his wife, and continued, "This castle is not only used to seal away the king of the alien race."

"It can also defend against those alien races outside."

Ye Yaocheng was somewhat surprised: "That amazing?"

"Wouldn't that make it a divine artifact?"

He had never heard of such a powerful magical artifact before.

If I had had something like this when dealing with the evil tyrant, it would have been much easier.

Seeing Ye Yaocheng's happy face, like a child, Liu Xuerou's eyes were filled with determination.

"child……"

"Your father and I are enough here; you don't need to come here."

She glanced at Ye Feng.

"To be honest, we are content just to have met you."

"I'll go tell my father right now to let you leave here."

"Father?"

Ye Yaocheng was taken aback.

"Mom, you're not talking about... Grandpa Clan Chief, are you?"

"That's right."

Liu Xuerou nodded.

"I believe he will understand."

Ye Yaocheng was somewhat surprised.

No wonder he felt a sense of closeness to his patriarch grandfather; it turns out that's why.

But then he firmly shook his head.

"Since the clan chief asked me to come here, he must have his reasons."

"And whether it's dangerous here or not doesn't really matter."

"Anyway, I don't have much time left."

Seeing the stubbornness on his parents' faces, he did not hide anything and told them about his fundamental problem.

Liu Xuerou's eyes instantly reddened again.

She glanced at Ye Feng but said nothing.

But how could Ye Feng not understand?

But at this moment, he felt only powerlessness.

Ye Yaocheng's Supreme Bone, which was used as the sealing core, cannot be removed at this moment.

"Okay, Mom and Dad."

Ye Yaocheng regained his previous sorrowful expression, and a dangerous look returned to his face.

"I don't blame you for any of this."

"If my three masters hadn't forcibly extended my life, I wouldn't be alive now."

He came here to solve the fundamental problem, but now he has unexpectedly learned that the Supreme Bone may be impossible to remove.

But no matter what, he was able to see his parents, and perhaps that's enough.

Unfortunately, he let down his three masters.

But they should be able to understand, right?

"Actually, there is still a way."

Ye Feng suddenly spoke, looking at the two curious people, but said nothing.

He simply patted Ye Yaocheng on the shoulder.

"Since Father sent you here, there must be a deeper reason for it."

But then he changed the subject, his eyes flashing with seriousness.

"But it's not only dangerous here, it's also very tough."

"Can you adapt?"

Ye Yaocheng nodded solemnly.

"Don't worry, Father."

"I'm someone who has fought against tyrannical evil, so why would I be afraid of such danger?"

Ye Feng and Liu Xuerou exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

They had certainly heard of wicked tyrants.

That's a top-tier demon on par with the king of the alien races.

"Mom and Dad, take me for a walk around the castle."

Ye Yaocheng said with a smile, trying to relieve the oppressive pressure from before.

"This is a good opportunity to learn more about this place."

"And I also have many interesting things to share with you."

Seeing their son's nonchalant smile, Ye Feng and his wife felt a pang of heartache.

They were very happy that their son was so sensible.

But these are things they didn't teach them.

This is really contradictory.

Subsequently, under the guidance of Ye Feng and his wife, Ye Yaocheng gained a more direct impression of the castle.

It can truly be described as a combination of offense and defense.

At the same time, he also shared his experiences over the years.

Although there's a saying that goes, "Report good news but not bad news."

But no matter what, being able to reunite with one's parents and let them know some things is not necessarily a bad thing.

Mr. and Mrs. Ye were deeply moved upon hearing this.

I never imagined that my child had suffered so much over the years.

At the same time, I am also happy that Ye Yaocheng has three such good mentors.

Of course, what makes them most proud is that Ye Yaocheng now has his own power base in Linjiang.

As he walked, Ye Yaocheng was suddenly drawn to a secret room in front of him.

The door was half open, and many weapons could be vaguely seen inside.

The sound of metal clanging could be heard from time to time.

Looking above the secret chamber, three large gilded characters are engraved.

Refining Room

Seeing Ye Yaocheng's lingering gaze, Liu Xuerou asked curiously, "Yaocheng, what's wrong?"

Ye Yaocheng stared at the weapon-refining room, his eyes gleaming.

"Mom, is this a place specifically for forging weapons?"

"yes."

Liu Xuerou nodded and explained with a smile.

"And also, there's one of your uncles inside; he's incredibly skilled at weapon crafting."

"Oh?"

The glint in Ye Yaocheng's eyes intensified.

He asked excitedly, "How amazing is it?"

"Does that mean... any weapon can be forged?"
