Chapter Four Hundred and Forty-Nine - Ruins Remnants

"Suyan, do you know what happened to my father? Why did he disappear, and why did I fall victim to the Heart-forging Gu?" Muyun Duo looked up at the sky, the calmness in his voice unable to conceal the sadness in the corner of his eyes.

Su Yan is not obsessed with the question he asked in the previous moment, because he is clear that Mu Yunduo, like Mu Yunyi, never speaks without reason, so Su Yan is convinced that this seemingly "irrelevant" matter of Mu Yunduo is definitely closely related to the truth that Su Yan wants to know.

"Some time ago, Yunyi told me that the Prince Shun had discovered the secret of Jue Ming and the No-Phase Tomb. The Witch clan wanted to revive, and Jue Ming wanted to take Yunyi's eyes in order to practice the Qinglong Gu, leading to the tragedy in the No-Phase Tomb. It was a heavy burden for Su Yan to recount this, as the person involved was the former Crown Prince of Western Sky, who was once the most powerful and beloved by his people. He gave up the throne for the people, only to mysteriously disappear one day, all to save Mu Yunyi."

After learning the truth, Mu Yunduo could never forgive himself or let go. He always believed that if he had been more capable, he could have saved his father and protected his sister, or at the very least, if he had not been caught and infected with the Heart Refining Gu, his father could have died with dignity instead of being humiliated and tortured before his death.

Su Yan saw the self-blame and regret in Mu Yunduo's heart, wanting to comfort but not knowing how to speak, because just a few days ago when Mu Yundi talked about this, the same expression appeared on Mu Yundi's face. This kind of inner torment cannot be resolved by others' words or overnight, only they themselves can redeem themselves.

After Yun Duo had calmed down a bit, he brought up another key person from the past - the siblings, Aliao.

"Your sister also mentioned this Aliao to me. They are the siblings from the Wu tribe who were appointed by the Jue Ming to guard Prince Shun, and they are descendants of the No-Phantom Domain."

Yes, after the Holy Woman sacrificed her life for her husband, the siblings A and L secretly raised the Holy Woman's son. However, as he grew up, his desire for revenge became increasingly manic, almost bordering on obsession. He paid no heed to the warnings of the siblings A and L, and even went as far as to poison A's sister as punishment and a threat.

Why did Axi finally come to tell Yunyi the truth about everything? Could it be that Yunyi has a way to remove the gu poison from Axi's sister? I asked Yunyi, but she remained silent and refused to reveal anything about it.

"It is indeed Sister who is the key to removing the gu poison from Sister Quan's body, but the person who can remove the poison is not Sister, but the Crown Prince Mo Yan, that is, Mu Xiu."

"It's Mu Xiu?" Su Yan was greatly surprised.

"Yes, don't forget that Mu Xiu's birth mother, Shu Gui Fei, was also a shaman before she left the shaman clan and held a significant position. Mu Xiu was taught the shaman clan's secret techniques from a young age by his mother. So, when Mu Xiu recovered his memory, he found Ahao and told him that he could undo the curse, but the condition was that Ahao had to tell Mu Yunyi everything that happened to Prince Shun in the Realm of No Form."

"So, in order to save her sister, Ayi finally told Yun Yi everything that happened back then, and then Yun Yi told you." Su Yan finally understood that Yun Yi didn't want to reveal Aqi's motivation for revealing the truth to her, and all of this was related to Mo Yan. "

"Because my sister was poisoned by the twin insects, A Lu and Jue Ming were already estranged and at odds with each other, so the content A Lu told his sister must be true."

"In this matter, Mu Xiu was the facilitator, not the beneficiary, so what is the connection between Mu Xiu's salvation and the twin insects?" Su Yan tried hard to link Mu Yuanduo's previous narration, but did not find any inevitable connection to the twin insects.

"After Mu Xiu removed the poisonous gu from Ah Quan’s body, Ah Luo took her sister back to Bei Qiang. By then, Jue Ming had already died. Although his attitude had been twisted and had even harmed Ah Quan, he was after all the child raised by this siblings. Therefore, Ah Quan couldn't help feeling sad and sentimental. She proposed to visit the stone mound in the No-Phase Realm, so the two siblings went to the Void Obscure Peak."

“I remember that the stone mound had already started to collapse when we left, and later, although I was unconscious, I heard Yunyi and Shaoyang say that the stone mound no longer existed.”

"Indeed, at that time the desolate ruins of the formless wasteland had fully lived up to its name - becoming a desolate mountain wasteland. Yet it was in the midst of this wasteland that Aqun found something remarkable."

“What is it?”

“Yin-yang blood pearl.”

“Another blood pearl. Is this one the same as the blood pearl of that witch?”

Mu Yunduo shook his head and explained, “My father kept the purest and most yang blood in his body. At that time, Jueming used my father's blood as a vessel to feed the green dragon bug, and eventually refined it into the green dragon gu. Jueming had already used my father, who had been drained of his blood and marrow, to refine the blood pearl, which is a fusion of the purest yang and yin blood in the world. Jueming originally intended to use the yin-yang blood pearl to refine an even more terrifying gu in the future.” Thinking of his father's tragic experience, Mu Yunduo couldn't help but clench his fists, making a gnashing sound between his teeth, immersed in hatred.

Su Yan took over Mu Yunduo's words: "Take over his calculations but never calculated that he would not live that long, and the Yin and Yang Blood Pearl eventually fell into the hands of the brother and sister of A-Li."

Mo Yunduo came to his senses from hatred and continued, "The A Ling siblings now only want to live in peace and no longer want to be involved in the turmoil of the world, nor do they want to touch the gu. So, they decided to entrust this blood amber to their sister. After all, this blood amber was refined at the cost of their father's death, and now no one is more suitable to keep it than Mo Yunyi."

"So Ah Nong and his sister went to the Western Sky to find Yun Yi, but Yun Yi was in the Eastern Zhao. They didn't find her and instead found you?"

"By then, I already knew all of Mu Xiu's secrets from Meng Li, including the fact that the last witch blood bead had been taken to save the prince of Eastern Zhao, Yi. So when I saw Ah Nong and his sister and accepted this Yin-Yang blood bead, I had a very bold and crazy idea: could this Yin-Yang blood bead replace the witch blood bead and save Mu Xiu's life?"

At this point, Su Yan finally realized, and sighed in his heart: If this Yin Yang Blood Amber can really save Mu Xiu, then it would be considered a karmic blessing. He saved A Qian and A Liang siblings found the Yin Yang Blood Amber that brought them to the Western Sky.

"I secretly left the city at night and came to Dongzhao, quietly found Mengli, and came to find Muxiu and Mr. Wuyong with him. After that, it was these two days that led you to Wankong Mountain."

“You came to Dongzhao to save Muxiu,” Su Yan said, pausing slightly. At this moment, his eyebrows twitched, his eyes were alert, and even the insteps of his boots were tightly arched, emitting an indescribable hostility. “And you brought me here to force me to let go.”
