Chapter 1504: Chapter 1602: The Unsearchable Truth

The Ten Thousand Strings Demon Girl became the Soul of the Zither, and after Fang Qingye completed this, he turned his gaze to Dugu Nian.

Dugu Nian’s eyes were tightly closed, unable to sense everything outside, but because the Ten Thousand Strings Demon Girl had left her body, Dugu Nian returned to her original appearance.

However, Dugu Nian’s cultivation was not lost, it seems that Fang Qingye deliberately did this, allowing Dugu Nian to retain some of the Ten Thousand Strings Demon Girl’s cultivation within her body.

With the interference of the Ten Thousand Strings Demon Girl gone, it would no longer be a difficult task for Dugu Nian to completely integrate and understand this cultivation in the future.

Although Dugu Nian also possessed Immortal cultivation before, because this cultivation was not cultivated by herself, it was somewhat inferior to those who truly step-by-step cultivated to the Immortal Realm.

This is also why Dugu Nian was not a match for that woman in the black dress; the woman in the black dress was a being from ancient times, cultivated step-by-step to the Immortal Realm, which is much more solid compared to Dugu Nian’s instantaneous Immortal cultivation.

Now, with the Ten Thousand Strings Demon Girl no longer within Dugu Nian’s body, given time, Dugu Nian’s cultivation would not be weaker than those true Immortals, becoming the youngest Immortal master of this era.

“Your taste isn’t bad, this young girl looks as beautiful as your mother,” Fang Qingye turned and said with a smile to Fang Lin.

“Father, her name is Dugu Nian,” Fang Lin said shyly.

After all, she was the woman Fang Lin truly liked in his two lifetimes, and he was somewhat embarrassed to mention her in front of his father, Fang Qingye.

“This wonderful girl, you better not let her down,” Fang Qingye said with a smile.

“Of course, I won’t,” Fang Lin quickly replied.

Fang Qingye nodded, and his figure also became much dimmer, clearly his incarnation could not exist much longer.

“Back to the matter at hand, the woman who fell into your hands, if you want to kill her, then kill her. How you deal with her is up to you. Also, there are some things I need to tell you,” Fang Qingye’s expression turned serious.

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin also stopped smiling.

“What your mother and I are currently engaged in, you will find out soon enough. What you need to do now is to be wary of this so-called Hall Master of the Hidden Kill Hall,” Fang Qingye cautioned.

Upon hearing this, Fang Lin furrowed his brows: “Do you know who the Hall Master of Hidden Kill Hall is?”

Fang Qingye looked at Fang Lin, his expression serious: “That great catastrophe back then, he was involved too.”

“What?” Upon hearing this, Fang Lin’s expression became grave.

The ancient catastrophe caused the fall of many powerful figures from the Human Clan, like the Martial Lord Hou Yi, the Flame Emperor, and many other masters. Even his own parents were implicated.

But what exactly this great catastrophe entailed, Fang Lin was still not clear. All he knew was that suddenly ten suns appeared in the sky, which was also a part of the great catastrophe.

After the great catastrophe, the Demon Saint Jin Zhulong launched a massive war between the Demon Beast Clan and the Human Clan, which ultimately ended the ancient era. Since then, the Human Clan has remained weakened, barely recovering, far from their former prosperity.

Fang Lin had always wanted to know what exactly this so-called great catastrophe was about and how it had occurred. Was it a natural disaster or man-made?

At this moment, his father actually mentioned that the great catastrophe was related to the Hall Master of the Hidden Kill Hall? This truly surprised Fang Lin.

According to the tales of this era, although the Hidden Kill Hall had existed for a long time, it was supposed to have appeared after the ancient times. The Hall Master of the Hidden Kill Hall was incredibly mysterious, never having shown himself for countless years; it was even uncertain whether such a person existed.

“Father, what exactly is going on?” Fang Lin had too many questions and hoped that his father would explain in detail.

Fang Qingye reached out to touch Fang Lin’s head, but his hand only passed through his son, given that he wasn’t physically present and also had little time left.

“That Hall Master of the Hidden Kill Hall has some connection with the Sacred Tree of the Demon Beast Clan. It’s possible that the suppression of the Demon Saint Jin Zhulong back then was the work of the Hall Master of the Hidden Kill Hall. That is all I can tell you. Please remember to never try to uncover the secrets of the Hidden Kill Hall until you reach the Great Longevity Realm,” Fang Qingye spoke with utmost seriousness.

Fang Lin clenched his fists tightly, his face a picture of shock.

What Fang Qingye said was truly shocking. The Hall Master of the Hidden Kill Hall was related to the Sacred Tree of the Demon Beast Clan? And the Old Dried Corpse Jin Zhulong might have been suppressed by the Hall Master?

Could this Hall Master of the Hidden Kill Hall be someone incredibly powerful, possibly not much weaker than the Martial Lord?

In that era, how many could suppress a powerhouse like Jin Zhulong? You could count them on one hand.

“Why don’t you directly tell me who this Hidden Kill Hall Master is?” Fang Lin asked with some bewilderment.

Fang Qingye sighed, shaking his head. “Telling you now would only confuse you. What your mother and I are doing is not just for ourselves; it’s also to protect you and all living beings under the heavens.”

“What exactly are you doing? I’ve been through so much, I won’t be confused. I beg you, Father, tell me everything!” Fang Lin stared at his father, eager to know more of the truth.

Fang Qingye looked distressed, as he very much wanted to reveal the terrible truths to Fang Lin, but reason told Fang Qingye that it wasn’t the right time. He and Bai Qingxue had persisted for so many years; telling Fang Lin now might ruin everything.

“You better take care of yourself. There should still be people from the Pill Saint Palace in the Seven Seas. You can go look for them, hear about the matters of the past from them. Your mother and I will wait for you, wait until you are strong enough, and then the truth will naturally unfold before your eyes,” Fang Qingye spoke with a complex tone, his figure gradually blurring.

“Tell me! What exactly are you and mother standing firm for?” Fang Lin roared, but it was futile; Fang Qingye’s figure vanished, and the golden talisman turned to ashes.

Fang Lin stared blankly at the ashes of the golden talisman, wishing he could punch the ground in frustration. The feeling of being kept in the dark was unbearable.

“Hidden Kill Hall Master, Sacred Tree of the Demon Clan, Old Dried Corpse, and the Pill Saint Palace, what secrets do they all hold?” Fang Lin’s brows were tightly furrowed. What he learned today gave him a vaguely unpleasant feeling; perhaps his parents were shouldering a tremendous responsibility that he could not help with.

“One day, I will find out everything,” Fang Lin took a deep breath, calming himself down.

Dugu Nian awoke, her eyes carrying a hint of confusion, and the first thing she saw was Fang Lin crouching in front of her.
