The cannon fodder heiress trembled with fear after being recognized as a member of her family.

The house, made of top-grade spirit stones, was brimming with spiritual energy, yet two figures inside trembled with fear.

The wooden fish standing between them would unleash its power of lightning upon them whenever they did something wrong.

Yan Jue is alright; he just doesn't have a physical body, but his soul is more complete than Yan Mian's.

Yan Mian was almost fading away at this moment, and he felt even more dissatisfied with his dead descendants.

If any of them were clever and quick-witted, he wouldn't have been thrown into a jade box and never seen the light of day for a thousand years.

Without the supply of rare and precious materials, surviving until now is already the limit.

It is the young girl from the main branch who is fortunate; she has such cultivation at such a young age, and her soul is extremely powerful.

The reason he didn't rush to take action after seeing the light of day again in his ancestral land stemmed from this.

Taking action doesn't guarantee success.

Yan Mian watched the spectacle from the sidelines, his heart filled with even more resentment that this girl wasn't his bloodline. That old bastard Yan Jue, his descendants' fortunes were truly enviable.

“Girl, this old scoundrel is so keen on cultivation, there must be something wrong with his cultivation method, otherwise why would he be willing to abandon his physical body?”

"Shut up! You old bastard who will die without a lineage, this girl is my bloodline descendant, no matter how much you beg, I won't help her."

The two started arguing again, this time from a distance.

"Stop arguing!" The green sap on Han Cuiyin's face had disappeared, restoring her fair complexion, and she appeared unusually aloof.

Her shout immediately silenced everyone.

"Yue Shuang, block Yan Mian's side. I need to ask Yan Jue some questions."

After secretly sending a telepathic message to Yue Shuang, Han Cuiyin prepared to interrogate this ancestor of the Yan family's direct lineage.

The whole thing in the Pinglian Mountains was orchestrated by Yan Jue. Even if Luo Jingqian's disappearance is unrelated to the spirit in front of us, this thing should know his final whereabouts.

Yan Mian continued shouting amidst the lightning and electric net, but Yan Jue remained unmoved.

Both of them were ancient monsters who had lived for thousands of years, so how could they not know that they were separated from the girl in front of them?

Yan Jue felt a chill run down his spine, and a coldness enveloped his entire spirit body.

If you don't answer well, the girl in front of you won't hold back.

Do you know about the Blood Pool?

"What does it mean when you shake your head and nod? Do you know or not?"

Han Cuiyin asked a couple of questions, but Yan Jue didn't respond. He first shook his head and then nodded, and for a moment she didn't know what he meant.

There's no time to waste with him now; finding Jingqian's whereabouts is the priority.

"Do you know anything about the stone gate and the red vines? Speak! Otherwise~"

The lightning bolts attached to the lightning net crackled and popped, and the space shrank by a circle.

"I know all of this!" Yan Jue cried out in pain, and hurriedly explained, "The red vines used to be my spiritual plants, but they were bewitched and went astray, and now they are no longer under my control."

Han Cuiyin just stared at him coldly without saying a word.

Yan Jue knew that if he didn't tell the truth today, he might not be able to get through this, so he continued:

"The cultivation technique I practiced went wrong, and two souls appeared in my body. The other soul was unruly and stubborn, and imprisoned me here."

“I knew those things existed from his consciousness, but I was powerless to do anything about it.”

"He created the Blood Pool! Over the past few hundred years, he has committed numerous evils and harmed many living beings by using my spiritual plants."

"That day, he set his sights on the mutated silver moon wolf and was about to successfully escape, but unfortunately, he was discovered and a small part of his soul was scattered instead."

"A few days ago, he possessed that Yan Dali, hoping to use that fool to leave the Yan clan's territory."

"The one who did these evil deeds is someone else, it really wasn't me! I, an old man, sacrificed my life for righteousness a thousand years ago, do you know how hard it has been for me all these years?"

Yan Jue's voice grew softer and softer as he recalled the past, feeling even more stifled in his current life.

His mind raced: This girl was so capable, he had no choice but to reveal some secrets. If he could get her help, it would actually be a good thing.

After hearing this, Han Cuiyin lowered her head and remained silent.

"Girl, I'm still an ancestor on your mother's side. Let's make a deal, how about you loosen this net a bit?"

The lightning was right next to him, and he could hear a constant crackling sound in his ears, making him tremble with fear.

If he still had his physical body, these things would be like a tickle to him, but in his current situation, he couldn't bear it.

"I'll test you again and see if you're the real one or another one!" Han Cuiyin flicked her right hand, and the True Fire of the Sun was already out.

The true fire of the sun entered the lightning net, but instead of burning the spirit, it became quite affectionate towards it.

“Girl, it used to be my strange fire, so why is it attacking me? You must have seen it before, so the True Fire of the Sun must have made some unusual movements.”

Yan Jue saw that only a small portion of the True Fire of the Sun remained, and said with a mix of tears and laughter, "You've suffered!"

The true fire of the sun circled him several times, finally stopping above his head and forming the character "no".

"So that's how it is." Han Cuiyin muttered to herself, her face remaining impassive. "The True Fire of the Sun is so tempting at the Stone Gate, were you aware of that?"

That "Yan Jue" is quite capable, which makes her even more wary.

"That's not true! Little Fire hasn't done anything immoral or harmful all these years. Back then, when Fake Yan Jue was injured by the Silver Moon Wolf, Little Fire tried to take the opportunity to burn him, but unfortunately, he failed and was instead subdued..."

Yan Jue was afraid that the Sun True Fire would incur Han Cuiyin's dislike, so he quickly told her some things.

Han Cuiyin now understood what had happened to Yan Jue.

Both the red vines and the true fire of the sun are Yan Jue's possessions. The fake Yan Jue turned the vines against him, while the true fire of the sun was a pretense of betrayal.

The plan of Taiyang Zhenhuo and Yanjue is to eliminate the fake Yanjue.

He endured for a thousand years, all for a single, fatal blow.

With so many people brought to the Yan clan's territory, the Sun True Fire faction wanted to use outsiders to clean house.

Unfortunately, Han Cuiyin appeared as a variable, not only splitting the True Fire of the Sun in two, but also splitting it again and again, sending out several wisps of flame. The True Fire of the Sun was damaged and fell into a deep sleep.

If it hadn't sensed its former master's presence, Little Fire would probably have remained asleep for a long time.

"Did he harm anyone while possessing Yan Dali?" Han Cuiyin quietly changed the subject, ignoring the accusations from the former master and servant within the lightning net.

"You didn't hurt him. You gave a wisp of fire to another person and forced the fake Yan Jue out. As for where he went, I don't know."

Yan Jue was overjoyed to be reunited with Xiao Huo, and his sarcastic tone disappeared.

The tenderness revealed in her words only made Han Cuiyin feel more embarrassed.

She didn't know that the True Fire of the Sun had developed sentience; she had only given away half of it to save Luo Jingqian's life.

"Where will Luo Jingqian be swept away by the hurricane?" Han Cuiyin, who was under his protection, couldn't ignore his life or death. "Is his life in danger?"

"I don't know! Fake Yan Jue has wanted to get out for a long time. If Yan Dali can't, he might set his sights on your lover. However, your lover's chances of surviving in the spatial rift are probably slim."

Before Han Cuiyin could ask any further questions, Yue Shuang's icy voice reached her, "Cuiyin, Yan Mian has run away!"
