1556 Tragedy

BOOM!

As they continued to watch the lights and shadows of Xuanyuan Wanrong's memory, the battle raged on.

Although Xuanyuan Qishang had been very strong, he wasn't able to defeat so many opponents. At first he had been fighting ten opponents single-handedly, but after Wang Chi and some of the other Elders had been persuaded that he wasn't going to change his mind, they also joined in the fight.

They weren't bothered by the fact that they were bullying him, ganging up on him like this. After all, they were within their own territory. As long as they defeated Xuanyuan Qishang, other than those present at the battle, no outsiders would ever know the truth about what had occurred here.

BOOM!

With a muffled sound, Wang Chi blasted an attack, and Xuanyuan Qishang fell like a broken kite, hitting the ground heavily. Blood spewed from his open mouth.

"Eh???" Xu Que and the others saw this scene and were shocked.

Xuanyuan Qishang had actually vomited out golden blood.

Duan Qide was totally surprised because he'd never seen blood of that color.

Xu Que was even more surprised. After his body had been transformed into a holy body, his blood had become golden. Seeing Xuanyuan Qishang spit out golden blood, Xu Que was shocked.

If the golden blood of Xuanyuan Qishang had been as bright as his was, he would've thought that Xuanyuan Qishang had also been a holy body.

"Unfortunately, my first successful experiment with a bloodline, although one of my weakest, is dead. What a pity!" the blood woman said. Although she'd stated that it was a pity, her face was full of mocking ridicule.

Xu Que realized that Xuanyuan Qishang had had his bloodline transformed, and this was why he had gotten golden blood.

But the blood woman's words had revealed that Xuanyuan Qishang was actually the weakest among those whose bloodlines she had transformed. The Heavenly Demon Team that was hidden in the Heaven Palace Sect must then be unbelievably strong.

"Father!" the young Xuanyuan Wanrong cried out, her voice hoarse, with tears running down all over her face.

"Rongrong, don't cry, your mother will be here soon!" Xuanyuan Qishang, who'd fallen on the ground, smiled, pale-faced, at Xuanyuan Wanrong.

What he'd said changed the expressions of Wang Chi and the others present.

"That's not good. There must have been changes in the back mountain," an Elder exclaimed.

BOOM!

Suddenly, there was the sound of the sky breaking open, and a woman, enveloped in a swirl of purple gas, with a face drained of blood, fell in front of Xuanyuan Qishang and Xuanyuan Wanrong.

"Mother!" Xuanyuan Wanrong immediately shouted in surprise, rushed out of Xuanyuan Qishang's restrictive circle, and ran toward the woman.

"Li Xiangchen, what the h*ll are you doing?" Wang Chi recognized the young man and immediately shouted at him, shaking with anger. This was his most trusted disciple, the one whom he was most proud of, and here he was now helping outsiders.

"You have indeed overdone it. However, I am a member of the Heaven Palace Sect, and I will not betray you. However, I also have compassion. Since they are destined to be killed by you, why not reunite them before they die?" the young man responded.

"You..." Wang Chi pointed his finger at Li Xiangchen, but didn't finish his sentence.

"Okay, you guys have done so many terrible things, I can't even begin to list them. In looking at the Heaven Palace Sect, only Xuanyuan Qishang is worthy of my admiration. I'm willing to help him with this small favor. I will accept any punishment you give me," Li Xiangchen responded patiently, not intimidated by Wang Chi.

No one at the scene dared to reprimand him. Everyone understood that the strength of the Dean's personal disciple was already unfathomable. Other than the Dean, no one else would be able to deal with him.

And, truth be told, Dean Wang Chi really doted on this disciple. If it had been anyone else who had done something like this, Wang Chi would already have killed them on the spot.

"Xuanyuan, this is all that I can do for you..." Li Xiangchen looked down at the fallen Xuanyuan Qishang on the ground, pausing and shaking his head with a bitter smile. "Oh, never mind."

After he'd finished speaking, he laughed and turned back into swirling purple gas and swept up into the sky, disappearing without a trace.

"Qishang! Rongrong!" At the same time, the pale-faced Guan Chuchu, holding onto Xuanyuan Wanrong with one hand, looked at Xuanyuan Qishang lying down on the ground and wept silently.

Xuanyuan Qishang didn't even have enough strength to lift his head. The vitality in his body was slipping away, but his face was still smiling, as he looked, dazed, at Guan Chuchu and Xuanyuan Wanrong who were hugging each other.

His eyes were full of longing and the refusal to accept defeat, but they were also full of helplessness.

"Rongrong, hurry, go to Father's side!" Guan Chuchu hugged Xuanyuan Wanrong and crawled toward Xuanyuan Qishang.

Her bloodline had been drawn out countless times, but that kind of torture couldn't match the heartache she felt at this moment.

She hadn't expected that the man she loved most in her life would depart this world earlier than she would.

"Father, get up, don't lie on the ground," the young Xuanyuan Wanrong cried out piteously.

Her thin, weak hands vigorously shook Xuanyuan Qishang's hands hard, crying in a manner that would break anyone's heart.

"Father, can you please get up? Rongrong will listen to you in the future!

"Rongrong will not be naughty anymore. Uncle Dean and the others are all bad guys. They hurt Father.

"Mother, quickly save Father!"

The large arena in the back mountain of the Heaven Palace Sect was filled with Xuanyuan Wanrong's innocent, heart-rending cries.

The eyes of Xuanyuan Qishang were filled with tears. With much effort, he raised his hand and touched Xuanyuan Wanrong's head as he pleaded with her, "Rongrong, you must be good. You must remember that these people are all wicked. One day, if you succeed in your cultivation, don't take revenge and don't anger the Heaven Palace Sect. You must escape and live properly..."

COUGH! COUGH!

Xuanyuan Qishang coughed violently, and blood continued pouring out of his mouth. Tears were brimming over from his eyes. He was a man of indomitable spirit, but at this moment, he had been defeated. Full of reluctance and with a tearful voice, he looked at Guan Chuchu a final time and said, "Chuchu, I'm sorry, I... I couldn't protect you!"

As soon as he'd finished speaking, his hand that had been placed on Xuanyuan Wanrong's head slowly slipped off.

"Qishang," Guan Chuchu said with a soft sob. The tears rolled down her face, and she held Xuanyuan Wanrong in her arms, hugging her tightly.

"Rongrong, you have to remember your father's words. However, if you have the strength to reach the heavens in the future, I want you to destroy the Heaven Palace Sect," she gently whispered in Xuanyuan Wanrong's ear.

After she'd finished speaking, she suddenly pushed Xuanyuan Wanrong away and placed her hands in a praying position on her Dantian.

Seeing what she was doing, the blood woman immediately shouted, "That's not good! She's going to destroy herself!"

Wang Chi and the others shouted at the same time. Then they released Magic Arts to try and stop her.

BOOM!

However, they were all one step too late. Guan Chuchu still had one move left. When they had all thought that her Celestial Core Power had been exhausted, her blood was deficient, and she was weaker than mortals, she actually still had a trace of a secret spell left. She smashed her own Dantian, her flesh exploding into smoke and ashes.

"Mother!"

Xuanyuan Wanrong, who her mother had pushed very far away, watched this scene in horror. She let out a bloodcurdling scream, her throat coughing up fresh blood.

At the same time, several black shadows suddenly emerged and landed beside Xuanyuan Wanrong. Someone's palm covered her back, sending her fresh Celestial Core Power, fearing that she might've been hurt.

Xuanyuan Wanrong's vision had been blurry, as she was almost unconscious, but, at this moment, her vision cleared.

At the same time, several voices were apparently speaking right next to her ears.

"Things may have come to light, but the One Chosen by Heaven still remains."

"Take this memory pearl, and remove this memory from her mind!"

As soon as she'd finished speaking, the blood woman placed her hand on Xuanyuan Wanrong's head. Xuanyuan Wanrong's clear vision became blurry again.

Close to falling into a coma, she heard the roar of the blood woman not far away, "D*mn, her bloodline is gone!"

"Li Xiangchen, look what you've done!" Wang Chi also roared.
