It seems like there's no need to think about it anymore...

The call connected, and Cao Dezhi's voice came through, "Xingci, the Shen family is getting a bit too demanding. Are you, or rather, Tianfeng, willing to cooperate with us this once...?"

Chapter 219 Heading to the Yuanen Family, Past Events

The Spirit Pagoda, top floor, martial arts arena.

The giant ape, its muscles resembling granite, slowly swung its fists on the field, its movements as powerful as a dragon and tiger, stirring up a storm.

Amidst the turbulent winds and clouds, following the will of the giant ape, the movements and combinations coalesced into a massive fist shadow that slammed down onto the alloy ground.

The Titan Ape's bright yellow eyes snapped open, its fists pounding the ground as it stomped its feet, propelling the colossal creature into the air. With a swing of its arms, it shattered the high-altitude clouds. The clouds collapsed into countless vortexes, the resulting fist imprints reflecting its turbulent emotions.

"The essence of fist fighting is very rare." Qian Gu Xing Ci clapped.

Ninety-nine percent of those who cultivate the will are weapon spirit masters, and the majority of the rest are lucky ones like the Holy Angels who possess weapon-type spirit skills.

The earliest recorded mention of fist intent is from the Body Sect, which is essential for En Yehui's ability to comprehend fist intent earlier than in another timeline.

The Titan ape's body shrank like a deflating balloon, revealing a woman with a seductive, curvaceous figure inside.

"It seems you're quite unsettled about returning home after so long," Qian Gu Xing Ci stepped forward. "Are you nervous?"

Yuan Enhui lowered her head, her chestnut-red short hair falling down to conceal her expression. "The East Wind Tower Master conveyed that everyone had their own reasons for what happened back then. The invasion of the Demon Plane caused huge losses to the family, but it is also a fact that my father was crippled by my grandfather."

"His actions might be right for others, but I can't accept them. I'm not an orphan; I used to be loved by my parents..."

Qian Gu Xing Ci gently patted her back, "But you always need to know what really happened back then. Whether or not you can forgive can only be decided after you know everything."

"Even if I refused to let the Master of Dongfeng Tower tell me the truth, I can still guess some of it... It's still hard to accept."

……

In the central-eastern part of the continent, on the eastern side of what was once the Star Dou Great Forest, lies a city called Shangling City.

A mecha streaked across the surrounding mountains like a meteor, arriving in the city nestled within them.

In the current Federation era, most cities are high-rise buildings like Mingdu, while Tiandou City is one of the few places that has preserved its ancient charm. In comparison, Shangling City is the rarest paradise.

The mecha landed directly on a hillside, and Qian Gu Xing Ci and Yuan En Ye Hui stepped out.

Facing you is a spacious courtyard, with an architectural style similar to the ancient buildings of Tiandou City.

A middle-aged man stood at the gate, looking at Yuan En Ye Hui with a complicated expression.

Qian Gu Xing Ci stepped forward to greet him, "Senior Tian Shang, as agreed, we have arrived."

Yuan Entianshang, who is also Yuan Enyehui's second uncle, glanced at his niece with her eyes lowered and said, "You two, come with me."

Led by Yuan Entianshang, the two passed through the front yard supported by pillars, where a plaque bore two powerful characters.

Ancestral hall!

The environment inside the ancestral hall is completely different from the rustic exterior, presenting a magnificent and resplendent appearance.

The memorial tablets inside the ancestral hall are arranged in a tiered pattern. At the top is a memorial tablet for a woman named Xiong Xiaoling, next to which stands a lifelike little monkey.

At this moment, the figure who was worshipping his ancestors on the prayer mat stood up; he was a tall, elderly man.

Yuan Enzhentian got up and made room for the futon. "You've finally decided to come back."

Yuan En Shangtian, who had been silent since entering, said to Yuan En Yehui, "Why haven't you paid your respects to the ancestors yet?"

Qian Gu Xing Ci patted the trembling shoulder of the person next to him and nodded at her.

Yuan Enhui kowtowed three times and then stood up.

“Young friend Qian Gu, please follow me. This is not the place to talk,” Yuan Enzhentian said.

The group arrived at a secluded courtyard, where a wooden tea table was placed. After Yuan Enzhentian spoke, they all took their seats.

In the past, Qian Gu Dongfeng had come in person once, but this time it was a person who could barely be considered a young man. Yuan En Shangtian couldn't help but ask, "Young friend, may you represent the Spirit Pagoda?"

Yuan Enzhen slapped his son, "Stop talking nonsense! Young friend, as the chosen successor of the Spirit Pagoda, isn't your sincerity in coming here alone enough?"

Before officially assuming office, the successor is of paramount importance in their respective factions, and the value of sending a successor is no less than the arrival of a great east wind.

"Rest assured, I can take full responsibility for the matter of the Demon Plane," Qian Gu Xing Ci said. "This trip has another purpose. Yuan En is already prepared, and it's time to tell the story of the past."

Yuan Enzhen's emotions shifted, and a sense of sorrow arose spontaneously.

"Yehui, tell me how I am in your eyes."

Yuanen Yehui knew about the Demon Realm beforehand, so no matter what, she couldn't blame the old man in front of her for her mother's death. She couldn't find fault with Yuanen Zhentian on this point.

Yuan Enzhentian's attitude towards her wasn't bad. Staying in the family meant being looked down upon, and leaving the academy was tough... Well, she couldn't leave, but the psychological pressure of academy life was much less.

But the root of the misunderstanding lies in another point: Yuan Entian, what did he do wrong?

Her voice was low, “A good patriarch, an incorruptible patriarch, but not a good father.”

“Then it seems I’m not a good grandfather at all.” Yuan Enzhen had anticipated these words and smiled instead. “You’re right about my shortcomings, but you’re exaggerating my strengths.”

"Tian Dang can be considered the most outstanding genius of modern times. He reached the fourth ring at the age of twelve. At the age of twenty, he became a Soul Douluo. This cultivation speed surpassed mine. According to the calculations at the time, it was estimated that he would reach the Title Douluo level around the age of twenty-five."

After breaking through to the Soul Douluo level, he chose to go out and gain experience.

Upon his return, he brought back a girl, who is your mother.

I could tell they were truly in love, and I sincerely wished them well, but fate did not favor them, and their path of love was very bumpy.

In an accident, your mother's actions were controlled by her martial spirit, and Tian Dang was severely injured by her. After I subdued her, I learned that her martial spirit was a top-tier evil martial spirit, the Fallen Angel.

"I believe in my son and daughter-in-law. Your mother was just a person with a tragic fate, not an evil spirit master, and that is indeed the case. After that, a period of uneventful days followed, during which you were born."

The good times didn't last long. Your mother uncontrollably broke through to the Title Douluo level, fulfilling the duty of a fallen angel and establishing a passage between the two planes.

As you probably know, the passage opened, demons descended, and the family paid a heavy price in fighting this unexpected event. If it weren't for the support of Qingtian Douluo and others, the Yuanen family might have become history.

Yuan Enhui remained silent.

Qian Gu Xing Ci said, "Old sir, you should tell the whole story, such as the current situation of Yuan En's father."

The core of Yuan Enhui's conflict with her family ultimately lies in the fact that her father was deposed. Once this point is addressed, the relationship will inevitably ease.

"When your mother finally saw the bloodshed she had caused, she committed suicide to prove her innocence. Tian Dang, in a daze, ignited his soul core, intending to follow her in death, but I sealed it away with a secret technique. Driven by selfishness, I publicly declared that Tian Dang had been crippled." Yuan Enzhentian smiled nonchalantly.

“I want to go see him,” Yuan Enhui said.

“Tian Shang, take Ye Hui with you.” Yuan En Zhen Tian readily agreed.

"I want to go by myself. Second Uncle, can you tell me where he is?"

Yuan Enhui connected everything: her second aunt who disappeared after the accident, her second uncle whose personality changed afterward, and her grandfather's behavior.

She did nothing wrong, and neither did they...

She just needs some time to accept it.

“You’ll see where you used to live when you go there,” Yuan Entianshang replied coldly.

Yuan Enhui stood up, walked to the door, turned around, and bowed deeply. "I'm sorry, I need a little time, just a little."

Then, I left, following the direction I remembered.

Chapter 220 Twenty pieces, that's more than enough.

Seeing Yuanen Yehui leave, Qian Gu Xingci asked the question that had been buried in his heart, "Senior Yuanen, since many things were misunderstandings, why didn't you explain them clearly earlier?"

"It's hard for a young friend to think about this if he hasn't experienced it himself."

“Misunderstanding? Was that disaster fake? Weren’t the casualties real?” Yuan Enzhen’s calm tone was tinged with sorrow. “The relatives of all the dead will transfer their hatred to the creators of the disaster, and Ye Hui’s parents died both physically and emotionally, so the hatred came to Ye Hui.”

"All I can do is send her to Shrek Academy, and I need to set a goal for her."

A vengeful demon dimension?

Even I felt powerless before the Spirit Pagoda provided support, let alone a child who was only a few years old.

But something always has to push her along, and coincidentally, she thinks I crippled Tiandang and killed his mother, so I'm happy to let it be.

“The Twin Martial Souls Fallen Angel, her talent surpasses mine and is even better than her father’s, so I didn’t explain and let her take me, a demigod, as the target of her revenge.”

So it wasn't just that he didn't have a mouth, huh? Qian Gu Xing Ci said, "I see."

"I have another matter to attend to on this trip, which concerns the specific combat plan."

"With the Four Limits of your tower and myself, this time the Demon Passage shouldn't cause any trouble." Yuan En's thunderous laughter echoed.

Qian Gu Xing Ci shook his head and said, "Old Master Yuan En, you are all aware of the strength of the Fallen Angel Martial Soul. It is most evident in Ye Hui's body, and it is no less than your family's Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul."

As far as I know, another Fallen Angel Soul Master has existed on the mainland in recent years. Simply resolving this particular passage is only a temporary fix; the seeds of the Demon Realm continue to sprout, and the crisis remains unresolved.

A terrifying thought surfaced in Yuan Enzhentian's mind: "Young friend, don't try to make me happy. A plane is far beyond what our two forces can contend with."

The young man's words revealed his intention to completely destroy the demon plane, and Yuan Enzhentian hurriedly stopped him.

Qian Gu Xing Ci said, "The Demonic Dimension is not something we should fear."

Yuan Entianshang finally spoke: "I have something I shouldn't say, young friend, may I ask?"

The ancient star nodded.

"You have the Spirit Pagoda behind you, and several Limit Douluos have no airs in front of you, but you may have some misunderstanding about the combat power of Limit Douluos. The leader we faced last time was a quasi-god, and the number of demons in the vanguard was countless."

We know so little about the demon plane...

Yuan Entianshang's concerns were quite reasonable. The Abyss Plane had launched a major offensive, and the Federation had an estimate of the Abyss's strength, but the Demon Plane was more like a guerrilla force, and the Douluo Plane did not know their specific information.

Qian Gu Xing Ci's eyes suddenly transformed into a vast starry sky, with the four primordial energies of earth, water, fire, and wind flowing within them, and a boundless and heavy spiritual power pressing down like a canopy.

"Spirit Realm!" Yuan Enzhentian's hand trembled as he poured tea, spilling tea onto the table without him noticing.

“I will answer the questions one by one, but senior, shall we exchange a move?” Qian Gu Xing Ci stood up and said.

Yuan Enzhen was taken aback, "Then please!"

The two stood at opposite ends, and Yuan Entianshang became a spectator in a daze. Just a moment ago, he felt that he was no match for this young man.

But how old is he? He's even younger than Yuanen Yehui.

Yuan Enzhentian reached out, signaling for Qian Guxingci to make the first move.

Qian Gu Xing Ci's right leg traced a semi-circle on the ground, and a melodious dragon roar came from beneath his clothes. The patterns of stars spread from his leg all over his body, down to his cheeks, echoing the golden seal between his eyebrows.
