After Bai Yu finished speaking, tears welled up in Luochuan's eyes.
He clenched his fists tightly and choked out, "What I want to do most in this life is to avenge my mother, and now I have finally set foot on this path!"
Seeing his bloodshot eyes, Bai Yu stepped forward and patted his shoulder.
"Luochuan, if you were to kill him with your own hands, could you do it?"
"Why couldn't I? He gave me life but didn't raise me, dishonored my mother but didn't marry her, and in the end, cruelly killed my mother for a prostitute. If it weren't for my luck, do you think I could have escaped from his grasp? How can such a man deserve to live in this world?"
Observing the veins throbbing on his neck, Gu Sheng stepped up and patted his shoulder.
"Don't get too agitated. If your father really colluded with Saint Ya to harm Wushuang Taoist, we will take action."
"Brother Sheng, if, I mean if..."
Luochuan struggled to get out these words and then let out a heavy sigh.
"Forget it, let's pretend I didn't say anything."
Gu Sheng understood what he meant, but he didn't respond. Instead, he said to Hong Mei, "Carefully check around to see if there are any clues left by Wushuang Taoist."
Snapping back to reality, Hong Mei quickly went to investigate.
As everyone searched the area, Gu Sheng returned to that cage.
He carefully sensed the aura of Wushuang Taoist and let his fingers slowly trace down the chains.
When he unexpectedly encountered a groove, his eyes brightened slightly.
He repeatedly felt along it with his fingertips, then loudly asked Hong Mei, "What is Yunhai?"
Surprised by his question, Hong Mei was taken aback.
"Gu Sheng, you know about Yunhai?"
"No, I was just asking what this place is."
After looking at them, Hong Mei bit her lip and said, "Yunhai is the territory of our Mirror Gate. To be precise, Wushuang Taoist founded the Mirror Gate there single-handedly. We grew up there under her until we were able to stand on our own and leave."
"How long have you not been to Yunhai?"
"Many years. Ever since Wushuang Taoist vanished, none of us dared to go back, fearing that the sight would bring up old emotions. After all, she raised us single-handedly; in our eyes, she's scarcely different from our mother, so everyone consciously avoids the place."
"You cannot avoid it any longer; you all should take a trip there."
Hearing this, Hong Mei was a little puzzled.
"Aren't we supposed to look for Wushuang Taoist? Why return to Yunhai? Are you not going to help me look anymore?"
"It's not that I don't want to help you look, but Wushuang Taoist wants you to go back once; we will accompany you back."
After speaking, Gu Sheng clapped his hands and called her over, taking her hand to gently feel the groove.
After carefully sensing it, tears rolled down Hong Mei's cheeks.
"These symbols must have been left by Wushuang Taoist! They must be!"
"If you are certain, we will head to Yunhai now."
"Certain! I'm very certain! We'll leave now!"
Before finishing her words, Hong Mei hurriedly walked outside.
Gu Sheng let out a light sigh and led the group after her.
Lan Yao, curious, approached Gu Sheng and asked, "If Wushuang Taoist asked her to return to Mirror Gate, does it mean she is safe?"
"Not necessarily; she was trapped there and left so much blood when she left, I doubt she is unharmed."
"Gu Sheng, Wushuang Taoist cannot die; if something happens to her, once Saint Ya emerges, the Jianghu will change drastically. She is more terrifying than any Evil Demon!"
Bai Yu stepped forward, speaking, and took hold of Gu Sheng.
"We must hurry to Yunhai and see if we can lend a hand to Wushuang Taoist."
The group suddenly quickened their pace, startling Hong Mei.
But at this moment, she was too preoccupied to overthink and quickly followed after them.
For an entire week, they traveled tirelessly on the road.
A week later, around dusk, their steps finally stopped.
Looking at the distance, tears filled Hong Mei's eyes with excitement.
"There lies Yunhai."
Following the direction of her finger, Gu Sheng began to understand why this place was called Yunhai.
The area was at a high altitude, sparsely populated, with mostly barren land along the way, but at the road's end stood a village-like place, firmly set under swirling mist, appearing as if it floated on a sea of clouds at first glance.
"Can you sense the aura of Wushuang Taoist?"
"I can't sense it. My Divine Power is unstable now and I cannot detect it; I want to see with my own eyes."
Seeing her slightly trembling body, Gu Sheng approached and held her arm.
