After disappearing for ten years, the junior sister made the entire sect kneel down to welcome her.

Luo Huanzhen rushed into the cave.

She ran to Ye Rou's side, squatted down, and tried her best to help her up from the ground.

Ye Rou's chest was empty, filled with bits of flesh and blood.

Luo Zhenhuan, his eyes red, carefully sensed Ye Rou's presence.

She's not dead yet!

Although the breath was very faint, there was still a glimmer of hope.

It must be the formation in this cave that was meant to keep Su Mingyue alive, which has also kept her life hanging by a thread.

Luo Huanzhen looked up at Dan Hong and Su Mingyue: "Give back Sister Ye Rou's heart."

His small face was extremely gloomy, exuding a strong sense of oppression.

Su Mingyue's face turned deathly pale in an instant.

She had never displayed such imposing presence, not even when facing Yun Yao and Duan Qianchui.

It's like a demon god who has emerged from a den of monsters!

Su Mingyue gripped Zhao Qing's collar with her fingers, hiding behind him in fear.

"Senior brother, Mingyue, Mingyue is so scared..."

She doesn't want to return the heart.

She's going to die!

Elder Danhong stepped forward, blocking Luo Huanzhen and Su Mingyue, her expression unpleasant.

She hadn't expected Luo to arrive so quickly.

Elder Danhong then turned to Zhao Qing and gave him a look: Take Mingyue away first, I'll hold her off.

Zhao Qing nodded slightly, then gathered his spiritual power to pick up Su Mingyue and fled out of the stone cave in a flash.

Luo Huanzhen's expression hardened, and his small body instantly blocked the cave, preventing them from leaving.

However, the next moment, a sharp, cold glint appeared from behind her, revealing a murderous intent!

Luo Huanzhen rolled over to dodge.

Taking advantage of this moment, Zhao Qing carried Su Mingyue and escaped from the cave.

"Don't even think about harming Mingyue!"

As soon as Zhao Qing and Su Mingyue left, Elder Danhong frantically poured a bunch of strange poison into the cave entrance, sealing off the exit.

Luo Zhenhuan was forced back before he could even get close.

She turned and glared at Dan Hong, who was blocking her way, trembling with rage. "You'll regret this, Elder Dan Hong! Do you know what you've done?!"

Elder Danhong's hair was disheveled, and his face showed a mixture of madness and smugness.

"I know, I want to save Mingyue. I consider her my own daughter, I just want to protect her... Anyone who wants to hurt Mingyue is my enemy. For this, I'm willing to give my life!"

Her plan to conquer the North Sea Secret Realm failed, and she even attacked Luo Huanzhen and Ye Rou.

Upon returning to the sect, they will inevitably be held accountable.

But the moon is innocent.

She was always the one who passively accepted things, so even if Yun Yao wanted to punish her, he couldn't blame Ming Yue.

Mingyue called her "Mother," so let her shoulder the last piece of sky for Mingyue.

Hearing Elder Danhong's emotional inner monologue, Luo Zhenhuan was not moved at all; instead, he laughed in anger.

She exhaled a deep breath, and her emotions inexplicably calmed down.

"Are you willing to give everything?"

Yes! All of them.

Luo Huanzhen returned to Ye Rou's side and sat down quietly. She looked up at Elder Danhong and asked, "Even if it costs your daughter's life?"

Elder Danhong was stunned, and a look of bewilderment and astonishment appeared on his crazy expression.

"What are you saying?"

Why can't she understand?

She stumbled to Luo Huanzhen, looked at him in disbelief, then at the blood-soaked girl on the ground, and her heart suddenly began to race with panic.

Luo Huanzhen looked at her calmly, his expression cold and aloof. "You like Su Mingyue simply because you've transferred your affections to her and treat her like your daughter."

"You hurt your real daughter for the sake of a fake one. Don't you deserve to die?"

Elder Dan Hong's eyes widened in terror: "Luo Huanzhen! What nonsense are you spouting?! Why are you talking nonsense! You're shaking my resolve!!"

Her child, taken away by the man himself and thrown off a cliff.

He died long ago.

"You should know how to recognize your own daughter, shouldn't you?"

Luo really didn't want to say anything more, so she stood up and stepped aside.

Luo Huanzhen: "Take the identification yourself."

Elder Danhong does indeed have a way of identifying them.

Her daughter.

There is a crescent-shaped birthmark on the back of my neck, near my hairline.

The size of a fingernail.

Elder Danhong practically prostrated herself, her hands trembling as she gently brushed aside the stray, blood-stained hair at the back of Ye Rou's neck—

There was a light-colored crescent-shaped birthmark.

Elder Dan Hong's gaze fell upon it, and he froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

How could that be...?

How could this be...?

How could her daughter be Ye Rou?!

Her daughter, whom she longed for day and night.

Not only did they survive, but they also grew up to be so outstanding.

And she had just dug out her own heart.

"Ye... Ye Rou..."

Elder Danhong's legs went weak, and she collapsed to her knees beside Ye Rou.

Her voice trembled uncontrollably, and tears streamed down her face. "I don't know... I really don't know..."

"Ye Rou! Ye Rou!!!"

"I'm so sorry! Mother, I'm so sorry!!"

She looked up abruptly, her eyes almost crazed: "Get the heart back! I'm going to get Ye Rou's heart back! Mingyue hasn't gone far!"

Elder Danhong rushed towards the cave entrance like a madman.

But the poisonous miasma she had just released was still there, the green smoke billowing around. As soon as she got close, she was burned and her skin was torn open, and she screamed and retreated.

She can certainly cure this poisonous miasma, but it will take time to prepare the antidote.

But Ye Rou had no time left.

Elder Danhong began frantically taking out clothes and defensive magical artifacts from his storage space and piling them on his body.

She was determined to break free.

Luo Zhen stared at her, then shook his head. "Sigh, what good would forcing your way out do? Do you think Su Mingyue would give your heart back?"

"She will pay it back! Mingyue, she... she's a good child..." Elder Danhong's voice had lost its strength.

Will she really pay it back?

A person will die without a heart!

Elder Danhong glanced at Ye Rou one last time, gritted her teeth, and rushed out.

She had to save her daughter!

She must find Su Mingyue and return her heart!

Zhao Qing's cultivation level was not high, and Elder Dan Hong quickly caught up with him.

"Give my heart back."

Ignoring the bleeding wounds from the poisonous miasma, she stood in front of Zhao Qing, staring intently at Su Mingyue in his arms, her voice hoarse beyond belief.

Zhao Qing frowned. "Elder, what are you doing? Mingyue just had her heart transplanted. If you take it out, she will die!"

"That heart belongs to my daughter!" Elder Danhong practically roared. "Ye Rou is my own daughter! I beg you, give her back her heart—"

Zhao Qing was stunned, then shook his head: "Elder, have you suffered some kind of shock? How could Ye Rou be your daughter? You've always treated her and Luo Huanzhen that way..."

daughter?

More like an enemy.

Hearing Zhao Qing's words, Elder Dan Hong felt even more pained.

Yes.

What did she do?!

She was always so mean to Ye Rou, so mean that she tried to kill her several times in order to protect Su Mingyue.

"I'm so sorry to her, I'm so sorry to my Ye Rou. Give her back, Mingyue, Elder, I beg you, give her back her heart..."

Her eyes turned crazed and sorrowful, and she reached out with her bloodied hands to grab Su Mingyue's wrists.
