She watched in silence as her sister Lin Wan tried her best to take the three of them out of the Duality Sect.

Halfway through their journey, she saw a woman wearing a black mask intercepting them on the way as she attacked the three of them.

In front of her Core Condenstaion strength, the three women couldn't even resist.

In less than a few breaths, they were all lying on the ground.

Cang Yue could feel Yang Ze's helplessness, his fear and hope.

And when Yang Ze gazed at the black masked woman, he was overwhelmed with disbelief.

"He knows her." Cang Yue immediately came to a conclusion. For Yang Ze to show such emotion towards an unfamiliar woman could only mean one thing. He knew her identity.

Cang Yue watched further as he lay down, pretending to be unconscious. Even though he only kept his eyes half-open, she could still see clearly how her own mother slowly sliced through her dead sister's neck like she was cutting a patch of grass.

She saw her own mother behead her sister before taking off her head.

She heard with her own ears every single word that her mother spoke about needing to sacrifice the three closest people in order to achieve Heaven Step.

Even though it had already happened, it still shook her to the core. For a while, she couldn't even react. Watching her sister getting slaughtered wasn't easy, even for her.

The memory finally ended when the white masked woman, the grand elder of the Sword Sect, rescued the three of them before Yang Ze lost consciousness.

"....."

In the empty void, Cang Yue just sat in silence for a long time. It took her a while to make sense of everything that she had seen. Contrary to before, when she watched the second memory of Yang Ze's intimate act with her sister, her face this time was completely emotionless. The previous lingering shame that she felt after feeling the naked body of her sister all over herself was gone... replaced by a silent, murderous rage.

She knew she was no match for both White masked woman as well as her own mother. Even if she managed to somehow step into the Core Condesation realm, she was still powerless in front of those two. Her only hope was Yang Ze. With him by her side, she could have her revenge. With him by her side, she could make amends for her dead sister and seek justice.

She just calmed her turmoiling emotions before patting the spiritwing underneath her.

"THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE. FIND HIM." She had already wasted three chances, and now, with her remaining strength, it was only enough for her to explore one last time.

She didn't want to watch any other random memory and mess up the last chance of saving Yang Ze.

In the end, she could only threaten the Spiritwing, hoping for it to do something.

The spiritwing, as if sensing her hostility and the seriousness of the situation, began to tremble violently. Within seconds, its entire body was emitting a pitch blue light that, for a moment, even illuminated the entire dark space.

"What the..." Before Cang Yue even had time to understand what was going on, the Spiritwing under her flapped its wings before it disappeared from its position.

Cang Yue only watched in surprise as the spiritwing suddenly brought her in front of a small black flickering speck of light.

Compared to the rest of the specks of light, it was small. Even in the darkness of the void, the blackness it oozed was something glaring.

Compared to others, it was so insignificant that she might have never found it, and even if she found it by some miracle, she wouldn't have paid any attention to it.

"ARE YOU SURE?" Cang Yue didn't want to take any chances. This was her last chance, and if it fails... She didn't dare to imagine the consequences.

The spiritwing didn't seem to care about her words as it plunged towards the black speck of light. But compared to the previous three times, it was now enveloped in a thin layer of blue.

Cang Yue didn't know what was happening. She only watched as the scene in front of her blurred before she found herself inside a dimly lit room.

"This!?" In that instant, her heart was filled with shock. Not because of the peculiar decorations of the room, but the fact that she was still sitting at the spiritwing while it hovered in the air.

"This is possible too?" Till now, she believed that the so-called Spiritwing was but a mere half-demonic beast. Even though there were innumerable rumours about it and it was even linked with a prophecy, no one actually thought it was impressive.

As far as she knew, spiritwing only had three abilities. It could split into seven identical clones, it could illuminate the surroundings, and its body would often release a minuscule amount of powder, which, once collected enough, could be turned into a precious Luminous pearl. But the effort it takes to craft just a single luminous pearl was so intense that almost no one even bothers with it.

It was only now that she realised that this thing has even more miraculous uses. It could enter a person's soul, it could view their memories, and it could even let her experience it by herself.

She had decided to get a spiritwing for herself once she left the ruins with Yang Ze.

She then gazed around before noticing the dimly lit room.

"How strange." The appearance of the house was completely different from what she was used to. Instead of stones and wood, it seemed to be made out of something else entirely... something smooth yet firm.

She then began to look around with great interest.

Everything in the room was something so different from what she was used to.

There were paintings on the wall that looked extremely realistic, displaying a beautiful sunset. She saw the numerous small statues placed around each one, done with extreme precision.

Her gaze finally landed on the bed upon which a thick mattress was placed. Even its design was something that she hadn't seen.

The more Cang Yue looked around, the more she felt out of place. The entire place felt like it shouldn't exist, yet for some reason, it did in Yang Ze's memories.

After looking around with great interest, she finally noticed a small figure huddling in the corner of the room in silence. Earlier, she couldn't see it due to the dim lights, but the constant trembling of the figure finally attracted her gaze towards the figure.

"Huh!?" She glanced at the young boy, who appeared to be no more than thirteen to fourteen years old. He had fair skin, a delicate face and deep blue eyes. At the moment, his eyes had a blank expression while he was holding a small girl in his arms.

"Don't worry. Nothing is going to happen." He kept on muttering the same sentence over and over again.

"Big brother will not let anything happen to you."

Cang Yue just raised an eyebrow. Even though there were some differences in appearance, the boy sitting there was undoubtedly Yang Ze.

"Is that his sister?" Judging by their similar appearances, it wasn't hard to guess the relationship between the two of them.

The two of them were huddling together in fear while their eyes were looking in the direction of the door.

Cang Yue watched in silence as Yang Ze consoled his sister and even put both his hands on her ears to stop her from hearing the sound coming from the outside.

Cang Yue wanted to go outside to see what the fuss was all about, but unfortunately for her, she couldn't leave the room. The spiritwing wasn't omniscient. Managing to get such a perspective inside a memory was already heaven-defying.

She just focused on the sounds coming from the outside.

It was filled with wild laughter, the sound of cursing and celebrations.

Just from the voices, there were about four women who were gambling against one another. One of them were constantly cursing while the other three were laughing on the top of their lungs.

This situation lasted for a good fifteen minutes.

And just when Cang Yue was wondering what was going on, she saw the door open and with it, a middle-aged woman who looked similar to the little girl in Yang Ze's arms entered the room, looked at Yang Ze before pulling away his younger sister.

"AAAAAAHHHHH BROTHER." The girl kept on shouting and kicking, but the woman didn't care about it. She just took her out of the room forcefully before her faint voice echoed in the room.

"Only for one night."

Cang Yue couldn't understand what was going on. The woman was dressed so strangely, and the way they were acting and talking was different too. But she could miraculously understand the strange language.

It wasn't until a woman in her thirties entered the room that she understood what was going on.

"YOU DARE?" Even though this was just a memory, she couldn't help but shout in rage. In her mind, Yang Ze was already her property and anyone who dared to make a move against him was targeting her. In that case, she would make the other party's life a living hell.

Even though she was full of murderous rage, she couldn't change anything. These were the events that had already happened.

She could only watch helplessly as the woman locked the door behind her, took off her clothes and pounced at the young boy, who just grit his teeth and kept quiet. He didn't dare to struggle; he didn't dare to shout.

"You know, from the day you came to this small town, I have always dreamt about how it would feel to press you under me. And now..."

"Hehehe.."

"Now that dream is finally coming true."

"...." Cang Yue's expression got terrifyingly calm as she looked at the woman's wanton actions as she violated the boy thoroughly.

For almost two hours, she violated him, and once it was over, she walked out of the room with a satisfied smile on her face.

But not even five minutes later, another woman entered the room, and the process repeated itself.

It wasn't until the third woman walked out of the room, satisfied, that Yang Ze's mother walked back into the room, drunk, while carrying a bottle of wine.

"Mother?" Yang Ze only screamed in terror as he tried to run away, but how could he? He was already thoroughly exhausted. He could only watch helplessly as his mother placed the cup of wine to his lips before laughing maniacally.

"DRINK... EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE. LEAVE EVERYTHING TO MAMA."

After that...

Cang Yue didn't have words to explain.

She felt a rage unlike anything she had felt before.

If she could interact, she would have tortured these whores till they begged for death.

But alas! All she could do was watch helplessly.

She didn't even dare to imagine what Yang Ze's mental condition was or what he was feeling at the moment. Thankfully or perhaps regretfully, she couldn't experience it herself.

It was at this moment that the scene around her began to blur.

"WAIT." Cang Yue suddenly cried out in panic. She didn't know what she was supposed to do, but she could only shout out in panic. She even tried screaming for Yang Ze.

"YANG ZE. COME WITH ME." She didn't know if this was going to work, but she could only give it a try.

"I WILL TAKE YOU OUT OF THIS NIGHTMARE."

Perhaps her screams finally reached Yang Ze's ears as his previously blank eyes had a hint of clarity in them.

"Cang Yue?" He couldn't help but mutter those words. And in that instant, he suddenly clutched his head while falling down on the ground, writhing in pain.

Cang Yue rushed towards him, wanting to pick him up.

Ten meters... nine meters... four meters...

But the moment she was just one meter away from Yang Ze, the world around her was filled with cracks before everything shattered.

"DAMN IT." Opening her eyes in a monstrous rage, Cang Yue looked around only to find herself sitting inside the ruins with Yang Ze's peaceful face on her lap and a small butterfly that was lying on his shoulder which was almost dead.

"I..."

She couldn't believe it. How could it be?

"I have failed..."
