“You’re going to Hanging Sky City?”

As if she had heard the most ludicrous joke in the world, Su Yun laughed until her whole body shook, laughed until tears streamed down her face.

“Do you even know what kind of place Hanging Sky City is? That place is true Purgatory, there’s only pain, wailing, and the torture devices there can even twist the soul. You say you’re going to Hanging Sky City? Stop joking around!”

“So you returned from such a terrifying place, that must have been so hard!”

“You pity me?” Su Yun became even more agitated, “I don’t need it, I don’t want your pity. I want the Yun Family to suffer the same punishment. I want to watch you writhe and agonize in the furnaces of hell. That is the purpose of my return to the world of the living!”

“Innocently abandoned, and having suffered so much injustice, I can feel your rage.”

“Feel? No, you can’t feel anything! Do you know what it feels like to have a branding iron seared into your flesh? Do you know the taste of flesh cooking and curling? You know nothing!”

In a hysterical roar, Su Yun tore open her clothes, exposing her white flesh: “My every inch of skin has been destroyed and remade countless times. Whenever it is remade, that itching sensation makes me want to tear my skin off, but I was bound by my limbs, unable to move, only able to endure that itching for more than ten days. Do you know how many times I wished to end my own life?”

“Lead pouring, sawing, boiling, skinning, human swine – you have no idea how many tortures I endured, nor do you know how many demons there are in that hell who take pleasure in tormenting humans. They don’t want obedience, they merely delight in our torture. So many couldn’t endure and chose to end themselves, but even seeking death is a luxury in the underground prison of Hanging Sky City!”

“No matter how severe the injury, they always had ways to bring you back, only to torture you twice as much. Some went mad from the pain, some were killed after being squeezed of their value, but many more are still trapped in the cycle of torture!”

“I am a malevolent ghost who crawled back from the depths of Purgatory. I will dismantle the Yun Clan, shattering it to pieces. I want all you naturally noble people to also see what Purgatory looks like!”

By the end of her speech, the bare-chested Su Yun glared with fury, her eyes as if they could topple the very heavens.

Yet facing this aggressive confrontation, Yun Xiu simply listened, not interrupting with a single word, only after Su Yun finished, she apologized, “You have every right to your resentment, and even more so to act on it. I know you’ve suffered a lot, but I didn’t imagine it was to such a tormenting extent. I’m sorry, I should have been there sooner.”

“…”

Su Yun looked incredulously at the woman before her; she had vented all her anger and venom, and even if she was struck dead with a single slap, she would have no regrets. But she couldn’t understand why, after she said all she wanted to, the other party could still look at her like that.

That look… was it sympathy?

“You must be tired after saying so much, come and eat.”

Yun Xiu stood up, gently closed Su Yun’s torn clothing, and spoke softly, “I had wanted to fulfill my childhood promise to tour Zhongzhou with you. Now it seems unlikely. So before I enter Hanging Sky City, would you have a meal with me, Xiao Yun?”

After the outburst, Su Yun sat back down, looking at this woman who was about to enter Purgatory without any fear, anger mingling with confusion.

She had just said so much, wanting to see different emotions on this woman’s face, but apart from sympathy and apology, there was nothing else.

“Why?”

“What?”

“Why aren’t you angry? Why aren’t you afraid? I betrayed you, betrayed the Yun Family. Don’t you hate me!?”

Su Yun stared at the steaming bowl of soup before her and said numbly.

“In this matter, our older brother was wrong.”

Yun Xiu looked into Su Yun’s eyes and said earnestly, “There were never any servants in Longyuan, only clan members of the Yun Family, relatives. If indeed someone must be sacrificed, then the main family should precede the collateral branches, the collateral branches before the minor families, as our ancestors taught. Although it’s a bit late to say this now, knowing that you are still alive means I must try to make amends.”

“What are you going to do?”

“My Xiao Yun, although you crawled out of Purgatory, many of our clan members weren’t so lucky. So, I’m going to exchange them back!”

“`

“You can’t even protect yourself, how could the king’s patrol agree to your request!”

“There’s always a way.” Yun Xiu smiled with her eyes narrowed, “This is your favorite lotus root and pork rib soup, drink it quickly, it’s going to get cold!”

Regarding Yun Xiu’s words, Su Yun didn’t want to believe a single one, but tears still uncontrollably streamed down.

The Yun Family is just a bunch of hypocrites, you can’t cry, you can’t cry!

Clenching her stomach fiercely to stop her tears, Su Yun lifted the bowl, gently blew away the layer of oil on the surface, and took a sip, only for more uncontrollable tears to fall.

How infuriating!

…

Tang Luo needed to find a wife, but he didn’t have the slightest clue where to start.

So, he could only use the most foolish method, waiting for a rabbit by the tree stump!

Eliminate all the safe options, select the most unlikely and most dangerous one, and then wait in silence.

Traveling with the wind, covering ten thousand li in one day, Tang Luo followed the map to the region indicated as Hanging Sky City in Zhongzhou, and then found a mountaintop to land on.

Indeed, the method was just that simple and crude!

The Yun Clan’s disguising skills were unmatched under the heavens, apart from himself, no other Wind Media would be able to recognize Yun Xiu, even if she was right in front of them, after she had disguised herself.

So, using the Wind Media System to find someone was almost impossible, but he could change his way of thinking.

If Su Yun really was sent by the Dutian Heavenly King’s patrol, then there would definitely be some unusual movement in Hanging Sky City. All he had to do was to keep watch outside the city, stay vigilant, and abduct Yun Xiu before the king’s top expert could bring her into the city, right?

Moreover, he had also thought about his escape route; after abducting Yun Xiu, he would head for Yuanzhou. Would the king’s patrol dare to chase him there?

Many things had to be done covertly and couldn’t be brought to light, much like the act of pursuing and killing a legitimate daughter of the Yun Clan. The king’s patrol could do it, but couldn’t declare it openly.

After all, Yun Zu was a sage of the ancient Human Race. Others might have forgotten these old stories, but the Xu Clan would certainly remember them.

With the goodwill due to the ancient sages, plus his own connections, protecting her, a small request like that should be attainable, right?

It wouldn’t take too long, just about ten years or so. Once he damn well mastered his divine skills, if he didn’t twist Cao Jinyu’s head off, he would write his own name, Tang, backwards.

“Still bullying a family of orphans and widows, damn it!”

Tang Luo, standing vigil on an unnamed mountaintop, gazed at the continent floating on clouds, cursing under his breath.

…

Inside Hanging Sky City

The Gu Master, upon noticing something amiss with the poison gu in the jar, hurried to Cao Jinyu’s training chamber to seek an audience.

“Great Commander, great news, the evil spirits we dispatched have sent back a message!”

“Is that so? Then have Yuan Xi take a trip and bring the person back.”
