"Sister, what should we do?"
Shen Qingnan knew that Chu Lingwei and the others were going to find the former Peak Master, so they wouldn't torture Su Xianrou. His face was full of worry.
Chu Xiyin was filled with hatred, but facing Nangong Luo and Su Yan, two powerful cultivators at the Three Heavens realm, protecting Chu Lingwei, she would only be sending herself to her death if she went.
She knew clearly that even if Chu Lingwei killed her today, her father, Chu Chang, would not seek revenge for her.
"I... I..." Chu Xiyin was momentarily at a loss for how to extricate herself.
"Why don't we ask the Sect Master to step in? They will surely harm Peak Master Su." Shen Qingnan stared intently at Chu Xiyin, waiting for her to make a decision.
Did she want to watch Chu Lingwei harm her mother?
"Please help me inform Father, Senior Brother. I will go protect Mother now." Chu Xiyin glanced at Shen Qingnan. Since he was going to report to their father, she couldn't stand by and do nothing.
"Alright, I'll go now." Shen Qingnan didn't think further and immediately flew towards the Sect Master's abode.
Chu Lingwei arrived at the back mountain and quickly found Su Xianrou's location.
Su Xianrou did not have Chu Xiyin's luck. She had now become an ordinary person, without the enhancement of spiritual energy, her hair was white, and the wrinkles on her face were interlaced, making her look like an eighty-year-old elder.
"Aunt, I've come to see you."
Chu Lingwei landed in front of Su Xianrou, startling her. Su Xianrou retreated in terror.
"Chu Lingwei, why are you here?"
"Aunt, didn't I say I would visit you often? Have you forgotten?"
Chu Lingwei looked around at the place where Su Xianrou lived, a small thatched hut, with all necessities inside. It seemed she was living well here.
"Chu Lingwei, I have become this way now. Your revenge is already achieved. What else do you want?" Su Xianrou gave a sarcastic smile. Her greatest mistake was underestimating Chu Lingwei.
"Aunt, you are mistaken. You are not my only enemy."
Chu Lingwei shook her head and directly sat down on a stone chair in the courtyard. Apart from her aged face, Su Xianrou's complexion was very good, which made Chu Lingwei a little unhappy.
Su Xianrou trembled with anger. Chu Lingwei was still plotting against her daughter. Unfortunately, she was helpless now.
With a "plop," Su Xianrou knelt directly in front of Chu Lingwei, grabbed her clothes, and pleaded, "Lingwei, I'm sorry. This is all my fault. I did everything. If you want revenge, come for me. It has nothing to do with Chu Xiyin."
"You really are a good mother."
Chu Lingwei looked at Su Xianrou with pity. She had taken her blood precisely to awaken Chu Xiyin's innate sacred body, allowing her to reach the pinnacle of spiritual cultivation.
Unfortunately, her daughter knew that her mother was in danger but dared not come to her rescue.
"Unfortunately, your daughter knows you are in danger but dares not come. Why is that?"
Su Xianrou's face showed shock, and even more fear, "What did you say? You've seen Yin'er?"
"Yes, that's why I came to ask you, what method did you use to help her quickly recover her cultivation in less than a year?"
Chu Lingwei kicked Su Xianrou away. She watched her roll twice on the ground and then, out of the corner of her eye, glanced in a direction and sneered, "Your daughter doesn't even dare to show up to save you. How pathetic."
Chu Xiyin hid in the distance, staring intently as Chu Lingwei kicked Su Xianrou to the ground. Her hands were clenched tightly.
Although she didn't see Nangong Luo and the others, they must be nearby.
"Chu Lingwei, my daughter is innocent. Please don't harm her." Su Xianrou crawled to Chu Lingwei's feet and begged.
"Mother, don't beg her."
Chu Xiyin looked at her mother's pathetic plea, feeling no emotion, only shame.
"Yin'er, hurry and leave here." Su Xianrou's heart tightened when she saw Chu Xiyin appear, and she quickly said.
"Chu Lingwei, the humiliation you have brought me today, I will make you repay it tenfold."
Chu Xiyin didn't even glance at her mother. The hatred in her eyes had turned crimson, tightly enveloping Chu Lingwei.
"Is that so?"
Chu Lingwei smiled and suddenly unleashed spiritual energy towards Chu Xiyin.
Chu Xiyin had been prepared for a long time. She summoned her double-sided zither and steadily blocked Chu Lingwei's spiritual energy.
"Chu Lingwei, I challenge you to a fight to the death. Do you dare to fight me to the bitter end?"
Chu Xiyin had wanted to do this as soon as her cultivation recovered. She had been cultivating day and night, hoping for the day she could tear Chu Lingwei to pieces.
"You are not worthy."
Chu Lingwei raised her head and saw Chu Chang, Leng Xingzhi, and the elders of the Xuanxin Sect arriving together. Her voice was arrogant.
"You..."
Chu Xiyin was filled with hatred. The double-sided zither in her hand emitted bursts of light, leveling everything in its path.
"Yin'er, stop."
Chu Chang's roar echoed. His artifact repelled Chu Xiyin's double-sided zither. "This is utter nonsense."
"Daughter greets Father."
When Chu Xiyin saw Chu Chang, her expression instantly returned to normal, and she respectfully bowed to him.
"Hmph."
Chu Chang looked at Chu Xiyin with killing intent in his eyes. It was his good daughter who had brought such shame to the Xuanxin Sect and caused the loss of so many spirit herbs.
If she dared to offend the Spiritual Cultivation Academy again, even with her talent, he would decisively abandon her.
Chu Xiyin was pinned to the ground by Chu Chang's powerful pressure, unable to rise for a long time.
"Junior Sister, are you hurt?"
Leng Xingzhi took two steps forward, arriving beside Chu Lingwei. He examined her carefully and sighed, "If you are unhappy in your heart, you can tell Senior Brother. Senior Brother will help you seek justice."
Chu Chang: "..." Is this too obvious?
"Senior Brother, I just want to ask why I didn't have spiritual veins when I was in the Xuanxin Sect. Could it be that someone stole my spiritual veins?"
Chu Lingwei looked at Chu Chang and the elders behind him, as if looking at a group of thieves.
As soon as she said this, Chu Chang and Su Xianrou were startled. Chu Lingwei had discovered it?
"Yes, Master said that Junior Sister originally had spiritual veins. Your spiritual veins should have been dug out by someone." Leng Xingzhi looked at Chu Lingwei with tenderness, his voice very soft, as if afraid of hurting Junior Sister.
"What?" Nangong Luo was enraged when he heard this. The Warm Jade Haotian Fan flew out from his hand and hovered above everyone's heads. "Speak, who among you took Junior Sister's spiritual veins."
Seeing this sudden turn of events, Chu Chang's face turned as black as charcoal. He had been tricked by Leng Xingzhi and his group.
They were not here to discuss matters of the Hengtian Secret Realm, but to avenge Chu Lingwei.
Chu Xiyin knelt on the ground, equally shocked. She thought Chu Lingwei knew nothing about this matter.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, Lingwei's spiritual veins were tested in front of all the Xuanxin Sect disciples back then. There should be no mistake." Chu Chang suppressed his anger and spoke in a conciliatory tone.
