The improved female villains regained their memories.

All of everything.

It is said that once you embark on your own path, you cannot regret it.

He didn't regret it.

He just wished he hadn't gone down this path.

-------------

The questions came like a torrent, sharp and relentless.

Yu ignored the two children's questions and looked at Nüjiao.

“Nüjiao, we can let them live, but you must tell me the location of the Tushan clan's totem.”

The woman's voice trembled: "The location of the totem is related to the fate of the clan; only the Holy Maiden knows."

“No, you know too,” Yu said. “Have you forgotten? You told me back then that when you were young, you went into a cave and saw the mark of the fox people there.”

Sweet words once shared about the past have become a sharp sword piercing the heart.

The woman was immediately shocked and angry, saying, "You've always remembered this, so that's how it is. You deliberately lured me into saying those things back then."

“I never intentionally seduced Nüjiao, you should understand that.” Da Yu shook his head and said coldly, “Alright, stop talking nonsense. Tell me the location of the totem, and I will spare their lives.”

The woman was shocked and furious: "They are your children too. Are you using your children to threaten me now?"

Before she finished speaking, the mist suddenly changed, transforming into a prison that enveloped the three of them.

The bald, burly man appeared beside Yu the Great, barely daring to breathe: "My lord, I..."

"Useless things." Da Yu glared at him. "Aren't you going to take them back?"

"Yes."

Several humans appeared and attacked.

Xiao Yi was at a loss, while Xiao Gui quickly looked at Nv Jiao.

He had indeed been swayed by Yu the Great before, but now he quickly understood the situation.

"Yu, I never imagined you would become so cold-hearted." Nujiao was heartbroken.

A thick fog enveloped her, and she screamed—it was the voice of a fox. In an instant, a demonic aura filled the air, and she revealed her true form as a fox-human.

The cage made of water mist was suddenly torn apart, and the humans who surrounded her were terrified by her powerful presence and dared not approach.

Yu the Great vanished from his spot in an instant, soaring into the air and striking down with a palm.

boom!

The air distorted and spread in waves.

“It’s not that I’ve become cold-hearted, Nüjiao. You know your sister’s plan perfectly well. Do you expect me to cooperate with your plans in order to be considered not cold-hearted?!” Da Yu said, showing no mercy with his hands.

"It's all my fault, but you can't kill them!" With nowhere else to retreat, the woman was forced to fight.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The collision of demonic energy and wondrous techniques created a shockwave that rolled like an earth dragon, deterring anyone from approaching.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the bald, burly man tried to grab the brother and sister, but Xiao Gui reacted quickly and protected Xiao Yi as they fought against the bald man.

But Xiao Gui was no match for him to begin with, and now that he was injured, he was about to give up.

Nüjiao wanted to offer her help, but was repeatedly blocked by Da Yu.

"I'll die if you want me to, but don't hurt the child!" the woman roared anxiously.

"Since that's the case, why bother stopping me? Just die!" Yu the Great began to strike with deadly force.

His ingenious techniques are not sharp, but they are continuous and relentless, like a raging flood that leaves people exhausted.

Seeing that Xiao Gui was about to be defeated and that she herself was gradually losing her strength, Nü Jiao immediately used a secret technique to repel Dayu, creating distance between them, and roared in despair, "I know, I'll die then."

She pulled out a bronze blade and was about to commit suicide.

"mother!"

Xiao Gui unleashed her demonic energy, forcing back the bald man, and ran to Nü Jiao's side.

With him running away, Xiao Yi was left unattended and fell into the hands of the human race.

"Mother, no, I don't want you to die!" Xiao Gui cried, clutching his daughter's wrist tightly.

Nu Jiao sighed sadly. Seeing that Da Yu and his men had not surrounded them again, she understood that he was giving himself his last bit of time.

She slowly, gently stroked Xiao Gui's head, looking at the child's sorrowful appearance. It felt as if something was washing over her insides, with love and hate twisted together within her.

"child......"

She held Xiao Gui's head tightly and said in as calm a tone as possible, "Mother really wishes you weren't my child. If you weren't my child, you wouldn't have to go through all of this, and you wouldn't be bound by these things. Whether you were a human or a beast, it would be better than the beastmen we have now."

"Mother..." Xiao Gui hugged her daughter, sobbing uncontrollably, "I don't understand, I don't understand! Why did Father force you to your death? Why did you have to die? Why...?"

The girl did not reply.

She suddenly calmed down, without anger or sadness, and gently patted Xiao Gui's back, then pried his hands off her.

The bald man wanted to make a move, but Da Yu stopped him by raising his hand.

He watched silently, his gaze meeting that of the girl from afar.

"Tu Shan clan girl, as one of the human alliance tribes, you seduce the demon race, kill members of human tribes, and plot to steal the sword soul heart. At this moment, why don't you commit suicide? Do you really want me to take you to Shun to be punished?!" Da Yu was expressionless, his voice still cold, but he spoke very quickly.

The girl looked at him.

The mist seemed to thicken, enveloping everything and making it look like a dream.

-------------

The sky darkened instantly, and the dark clouds surged and churned like a flood.

It started raining.

It seems like it always rains whenever something like this happens.

The cold, damp wind mingled with the fog, and everyone was quiet except for Xiao Gui's incessant crying.

Only when the cold rain slid down her face did Nüjiao slowly move and say to Xiao Gui:

"Child, take good care of yourself from now on."

"Your mother is gone. You don't need to ask her why she left. Just take care of yourself. In the days without your mother, no one will care about you. You need to learn to take care of yourself."

She raised the sharp blade and pointed it at her heart.

-------------

"Mother, no, no!"

Xiao Gui tried to snatch it like a madman, but was pushed away by Nü Jiao's bewitching aura.

The mist obscured the woman's figure, making everything seem like a dream.

-------------

Boom!

Thunder roared in the sky.

Yang Pingsheng looked at Yu the Great.

His face was covered in rain, but he remained unmoved.

But his eyes remained fixed on the figure as it fell, never looking away.

-------------

"Mother, Mother!" Xiao Gui rushed to Nü Jiao's side and cried bitterly.

As if waking from a dream, Da Yu withdrew his eyes and said to the bald man beside him, "Let's go."

The bald man said, "That child..."

Yu said, “Nujiao is dead, and the Tushan clan’s plan can no longer be implemented, so let it be.”

"But sir, that is still a stain on your record, and those two officials have been watching you closely."

"It's alright, let's take the child and go back."

Several humans stepped forward, intending to take away Nüjiao's corpse and Xiao Gui, but Xiao Gui suddenly unleashed her power, driving everyone away.

"roll!"

Xiao Gui stared intently at Da Yu and roared, "You forced my mother to her death, I will make you pay with your life!"

The human members stood silently in the rain. The bald man frowned, wanting to say something, but was stopped by Yu the Great again.

He stepped forward, stepping through the rain, and stood in front of Xiao Gui.

-------------

Boom!

Another clap of thunder.

One looked up, the other looked down.

One was in tears, the other was expressionless.

Father and son met again, but became enemies.

-------------

"I drove your mother to her death? Well, it seems that's true, in your opinion."

Da Yu spoke, his voice sounding even more muffled in the heavy rain, like a heavy hammer striking Xiao Gui's heart.

"But what do you know?"

"The Tushan clan, as one of the human tribe alliances, has repeatedly flattered the demon race because of its beastman identity."

"The clan's holy maiden firmly believed that the world would eventually belong to the demon race, and wished she could exterminate the human race."

"Now the demon race is claiming everywhere that the Heavenly Dao has abandoned the human race, and the human race is not united. When the flood comes, some are afraid, some are panicked, and some are defecting. In order to unite everyone, I went through all kinds of hardships to obtain the Sword Soul Heart, a secret treasure of heaven and earth."

"And your mother knew about this, but she obeyed the orders of the Tushan Clan's Holy Maiden and cast a secret spell on me in an attempt to destroy the Sword Soul Heart."
