Guan Zhongfei still bore the mark of the Mountain Sea Seal.

Jiang Hao had deliberately left them to scare him.

He could retrieve it, but he was in no hurry.

“He seems to be trapped. He probably saw or heard something he shouldn’t have,” said the beardless old man.

“The End of All Things?” Jiang Hao looked toward the black sphere.

“Not only them. The Great Thousand God Sect is also involved,” said Jing Dajiang. “They can be quite annoying.”

“What is her inner demon?” Jiang Hao asked.

“You can go in and see for yourself.” Jing Dajiang approached Guan Zhongfei. “Normally, we wouldn’t check it rashly. But this person happened to witness it at the right time, so we can make use of that.”

Jing Dajiang placed his hand on Guan Zhongfei’s shoulder. He then flicked his hand and cast a spell that covered everyone.

Immediately, Jiang Hao felt the surroundings change.

Soon, they appeared in a place where a scholar was reading something aloud.

It was the Astronomical Academy.

A young woman in her twenties walked while joyfully reading a book.

She looked dignified yet gentle.

Jiang Hao and the others followed her. They arrived at a simple house.

It was the young woman’s house.

It was clean and well-comanized.

She approached the desk, where books and ink were neatly placed.

She sat down with a smile and began writing a letter.

“Mother, Father, are you both doing well? Are you taking the medicine I sent you? I bought some more spirit medicine that can cure hidden illnesses. Let me share some good news with you—I feel I can break through the Golden Core Realm soon. Once I do, I’ll use the academy’s teleportation array to return. It may be half a month later than expected, but that’s okay. By then, you’ll be able to see your daughter at the Golden Core Realm. Please don’t push yourselves. If there’s anything, wait for me to e back and help. I’m in good health now and can handle all the farm work.”

The young woman smiled softly as she wrote the letter.

She used the academy’s flying sword system to send the letter.

Once done, she walked into a room and started cultivating.

After a little over a month, the young woman emerged from the closed room again.

She looked excited. She had made it to the early stage of the Golden Core Realm.

Jiang Hao and the others watched silently.

How could there be positive memories in an inner demon?

As they watched her leave, Jiang Hao and the others followed.

She spent all the academy points in exchange for a round trip.

The teleportation array didn’t lead to her home but to a city.

It would take about half a day to fly there, but for her, that was no longer a problem.

She went to the city. She bought some delicious food, some tools, and some clothes. Only then did she use her sword to return.

Jiang Hao watched her. Her joy at getting to meet her family again was apparent on her face.

However, halfway through, chaos unfolded. What should have been a village was now a sea of fire.

Her heart sank.

She descended hastily to investigate. She saw an elderly man screaming frantically at the edge of the inferno as if he had lost his mind.

“Demons! They’re all demons!”

“Please don’t kill me!”

The young woman froze. “Demons? How could that be? There are no demonic sects nearby.”

She would have never let her parents stay if there was a danger of demonic sects here.

She didn’t feel good.

Without hesitation, she activated her Golden Core power and used her sword to return.

Her cheerful mood was replaced by anxiety.

Jiang Hao and the others followed in silence.

Her speed was swift, but she heard more screams as she got closer to her parents’ house.

Cultivators slaughtered everyone who got in their way.

The young woman looked down. She gritted her teeth and flew toward her home.

Soon, she arrived at her mountain village.

She looked at her home. The protective barrier was broken, and a man with a longsword had killed an old couple.

“No! Stop!” The young woman rushed over to them.

The man laughed as though he enjoyed killing innocent people.

Her Golden Core aura erupted.

Boom!

The young woman forced everyone around her to retreat.

She rushed to the old woman’s side. The middle-aged man was already dying.

“Mother! Father!”

She took out some pills in a panic.

She fed them the healing pills. Her father couldn’t swallow them, and her mother coughed and vomited them out.

The young woman tried to use her Golden Core aura to try and heal them.

However, it was all in vain. They were beyond saving.

“Why isn’t it working?! Why?!”

Tears streamed down her face.

“Mother, I bought rouge for you. It’s the one you like…” The young woman turned to the dying man. “Father, you wanted to go hunting, right? I bought you a bow and some arrows. I bought clothes too…”

“Mother, please…”

At that moment, someone flew over on a sword. “What a pretty girl! Let’s take her with us!”

The young woman looked up in rage. A storm of murderous intent swept over like a hurricane.

The sudden force frightened the newer, and he stepped back in fear.

He then turned and fled.

Her killing intent had risen. She wanted to kill everyone there.

However, at that moment, a blood-stained hand suddenly lifted and touched her.

“Don’t… don’t look at them like that,” said a weak voice.

“Mother, how can I save you?!”

“There’s no need for that.” The old woman looked at her. “Don’t cry. You look undignified.”

“I don’t want to look dignified right now, Mother! I want you to be safe!” The young woman wiped her tears away.

“Have you advanced in your cultivation?” asked the woman.

“I… I don’t want the Golden Core Realm if It’s useless to save you. If only I had e here sooner, you would have been fine. If I hadn’t stopped to shop, I could have saved you…”

The young woman was heartbroken.

If only she could have arrived sooner…

“We won’t be gone,” said the old woman. ‘We’ll watch over you. We’ll watch you grow into a powerful woman. You might not be able to see us, but we’ll always be there.”

“I don’t want that! I went to the academy so that I could give you a better life. I want to watch you grow old and happy. I don’t want this!” The young woman shook her head. Her hurt was replaced by blind rage again.

“Are you angry?” said a voice. “You should be. Those who killed your parents live a happy and carefree life. They watch you mockingly. For them, killing your parents was nothing. Nothing!”

“Shut up! ” shouted the young woman.

“Shut up? The one who should shut up is you. Your parents gave birth to you, raised you, struggled for you, and gave up everything. Have you fcomotten the time when you were sick? They knelt and begged the entire village just to gather enough money for your treatment. Have you fcomotten the time when you wanted to study? They worked hard day and night just to earn a little more for you to have an education. Have you fcomotten how you entered the academy? They carried you through mountains and rivers. Your father injured his leg on the way, yet he managed to take you to the academy on time. Now, they’re dead. What have you done for them? You don’t dare to act recklessly so you can be safe. You hide and endure. You’re a disappointment. If you have no strength, I’ll lend you mine. Get up, pick your sword, and look. Look at the faces of those murderers. If you don’t kill them, who will?”

The voice echoed in the surroundings and the words struck her heart like knives..
