Chapter 264: Chapter 263: Feeling Disgusted, Xiao Hongshen Goes Insane

"By the way," Yan Li’an, who had been silent beside them, finally spoke up, "I’ve already led people into the Divine Church of Light. If you’re hoping for them to come to your rescue, you might as well give up that idea now. Zhang Biao and Fu Mingyue have already jumped off the cliff to their deaths."

In their conversation, Song Huaxu’s expression became increasingly embarrassed, and his gaze grew more and more sinister.

"National Master... perhaps you should think this over?" With the support from her elder brother and Xiao Pingfeng, Yan Wanqing waved the piece of cloth in her hand, "You only have the time it takes an incense stick to burn. If you don’t return by then, Song Ning will end up just like your Temple of Light—"

Her smile was tinged with malice as she locked eyes with Song Huaxu, "Boom—! Ashes to ashes, dust to dust."

"Yan Wanqing, you truly deserve to die." Murderous intent was clear in Song Huaxu’s eyes, but he couldn’t make a move. He had taught Yan Wanqing for many years and knew that she never spoke idle threats. If he didn’t return now, then Song Ning would really...

With this thought, he slowly released his grip.

Yan Wanqing immediately covered her neck, gasping for air and coughing violently.

Tears coughed out of her eyes.

But a smile gradually appeared on her face.

Because she had discovered Song Huaxu’s vulnerability.

He wasn’t the aloof deity indifferent to the fates of mortals.

There was a woman named Song Ning who could tug at his heartstrings, leaving him helpless over her life and death.

"All thanks to Master’s good teachings—know your enemy as you know yourself, and you will fight without fear in a hundred battles." The mistake was letting Fu Mingyue and Shen Shuyun appear together in Mingyue Town, the mistake was arousing her own intense curiosity.

"There’s one more very important thing." Yan Wanqing wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with her fingertips and suddenly said to Xiao Hongshen, "You still don’t know, do you? Song Ning is your birth mother."

She spoke so quickly that Song Huaxu was too late to stop her.

After speaking, Yan Wanqing was immediately pulled behind by Xiao Pingfeng, and Yan Li’an directly stood in front of the two of them.

Yan Wanqing felt a surge of satisfaction upon seeing Song Huaxu’s emotionally charged reaction.

"...Is what she said true?" Xiao Hongshen paused for a moment before taking two steps toward Song Huaxu.

His birth mother was long dead.

"So, you’ve preserved my mother’s body?" Xiao Hongshen frowned deeply, his pale face showing a hint of defeat. He rubbed his hands together, "Speak, is what she said true!"

Song Huaxu looked at him in silence, his thin lips tightly sealed.

"That’s fucking disgusting!"

Xiao Hongshen, not waiting for him to speak, went up and punched Song Huaxu in the face, "How could you be so disgusting! That’s my mother!"

His birth mother, secretly preserved by a man for almost twenty years—anyone would find that sickening to death.

And this man had been called his honorary father for over twenty years.

Xiao Hongshen now felt like vomiting.

"Stop being crazy!" After being punched, Song Huaxu immediately raised his hand and slapped Xiao Hongshen, knocking him to the ground.

Xiao Hongshen rolled on the ground, covered in dust, and then simply sat down.

His gaze was filled with loathing as he looked at Song Huaxu, "Am I the crazy one, or are you!"

The thought of his mother’s corpse being carefully touched and wiped by this man made Xiao Hongshen wish he could stab Song Huaxu to death.

"I won’t let you go, you won’t escape!"

Seeing Song Huaxu about to leave, Xiao Hongshen stepped forward and grabbed his waist.

"My mother died long ago; the dead should rest in peace. I won’t allow you to further desecrate my mother!"

"Let go," Song Huaxu ordered coldly.

Xiao Hongshen sneered, his arms holding on even tighter, "Impossible!"

"You don’t know when you’re courting death," Song Huaxu immediately dropped all pretense of mercy, "I was lenient with you before, all for the sake of your mother’s memory. Without your mother, do you think you could have reached your position today? Xiao Hongshen, if you don’t let go now, I will take your life!"

As the thought of Song Ning being blown up along with the Temple crossed his mind, even Song Huaxu’s voice carried a hint of panic he failed to notice.

"Then kill me!" Xiao Hongshen had been extremely stubborn on this matter. Song Huaxu’s inner strength had struck him so hard that his internal organs were in unbearable pain, and blood gushed from his lips. Yet his hands were locked around Song Huaxu’s waist like iron chains.

Upon hearing this, Song Huaxu raised his hand and gave a palm strike to Xiao Hongshen’s Tianlinggai.

The force of this palm strike was so powerful that it buried Song Huaxu’s legs into the sand and gravel.

"Let... go... of me, my... mother..." Xiao Hongshen stuttered these words from between his teeth.

He would not allow his mother’s corpse to be desecrated in this world any longer.

This matter was too disgusting.

"If I don’t go, your mother’s bones will be completely destroyed!" Song Huaxu shouted in a low voice.

Xiao Hongshen’s brows were filled with determination and stubbornness.

He would not let go.

Even if his mother’s bones were completely destroyed, it was better than surviving in the world in such a revolting state.

"Very well, if you insist on this, then I shall grant your wish." Song Huaxu’s mercy vanished as his malevolent aura overflowed. Just as he was about to blast Xiao Hongshen to pieces, Xiao Pingfeng suddenly made a move.

With a raise of his hand, he interrupted Song Huaxu’s attack, and with one hand chopped at Xiao Hongshen’s neck, knocking him out cold.

"A simple matter didn’t need to escalate to a fatality, did it?" He lifted Xiao Hongshen out of the gravel and tossed him aside.

Seeing the murderous aura exuding from Song Huaxu, he sighed lightly, "After this separation, the Divine Church of Light and you will become known to the world. If you seize this chance to live incognito, we will still remember our past fondness for you. But if you continue in your delusion, the next time we meet, it will be a fight to the death."

Song Huaxu’s gaze swept over his face.

"Since I have acted, I will not shrink back. However, since you’ve reminded me, I’ll also give you a reminder; everlasting night is coming. The world is trending towards chaos, and it’s better to thoroughly recreate a new world than to live on aimlessly," he placed his hand on Xiao Pingfeng’s shoulder, "And you have the ability to do so... I’ve already seen it."

Having said that, he left without any reluctance.

His departure was swift like an arrow, truly covering great distances in a single stride and leaving everyone in awe of his profound martial strength.

Yan Wanqing approached Xiao Pingfeng, "What did he say?"

Xiao Pingfeng didn’t plan to conceal the truth and directly relayed what Song Huaxu had just said.

After listening, Yan Wanqing was silent for a while before looking at Xiao Pingfeng, "I think he’s right. The King of Qin State, Qin Wu, was spotted near the border of Xiliang City not long ago. Everlasting night really might be coming."

"Once the Six Kingdoms plunge into war, the common people will again suffer and become homeless. We cannot start this war lightly," said Xiao Pingfeng, containing his thoughts.

Yan Li’an also agreed, "Indeed, the common people are always the ultimate victims of war. Having been on the battlefield since you were young, you’ve seen plenty."

Yan Wanqing’s mind was in turmoil, but this wasn’t the time to discuss it, so she shelved the issue and said.

"First, we need to take down the rebels, and then we will depart for the Capital City soon." She looked at Xiao Pingfeng, "What are your plans now?"

"I don’t plan to return to the Capital City," Xiao Pingfeng unexpectedly refused. "There’s nothing there I’m attached to. I want to see the world that my mother spoke of and, incidentally..."

He glanced at Ji Yuntai, who was sitting on the ground, "take the Young Master of Penglai home."

Yan Wanqing thought it made sense.

"Then, when I’ve dealt with matters in the Capital City, I’ll come out and find you," she said with sparkling eyes.

A smile finally appeared on Xiao Pingfeng’s face when he heard her words.

He knew what Yan Wanqing meant by ’dealing with matters.’

When that time came, with the vast sky above and the wide road ahead, they would stride forward together.

"Alright," Xiao Pingfeng extended his hand.

Yan Wanqing placed her hand on his.

Their hands grasped each other.
