The Divine Maiden felt as if her heart were being sliced apart.

This was nothing short of a complete betrayal.

And yet, even so, she still clung to a faint hope.

She believed that Cui Tiexiong had only taken a new Dao partner and formed a family because of pressure from his clan.

That in his heart, the one he truly loved was still her.

It proved a saying—when someone loves you, they will find ten thousand excuses to absolve you.

Now, all the Divine Maiden needed was a single sentence from Cui Tiexiong, admitting that she was the one he loved most. If he said that, she would let everything go.

She would even be willing to remain in the Cui family, lowering herself to be a concubine.

For love, she had given everything.

But the answer she received was incomparably cold.

"The feelings between us were real. But my desire to leave you is also real."

"You have always been like a foolish girl who never grows up. If I were not the head of the Cui family, perhaps we could have stayed together forever."

"But now that I have ascended to the position of clan head, it means that before I do anything, I must consider the interests of the family."

"Your temperament makes it impossible for you to become the matriarch of the Cui family."

"Moreover, you have no background. My current Dao partner is different—her background can help the Cui family reach a new level."

"That is why I chose her."

"Making you wait for a thousand years was my fault. I didn’t know how to tell you."

"Now that you’ve come, let’s make things clear."

"I can compensate you. You can ask for anything."

"But we cannot be together. She would be angry."

After hearing these words, the Divine Maiden’s heart completely died. Two streams of blood tears flowed down her face as she swore to the heavens that Cui Tiexiong would pay the price.

"You keep saying that what you care about most is the entire Cui family, right?"

"Then I swear to annihilate the entire Cui family!"

Half a year later, a new force appeared in the God Realm—the Mysterious Spirit Sect.

And the one who founded this Divine Alliance was the Divine Maiden, Kong Xuanling.

Hatred can make a person stronger.

The Mysterious Spirit Sect developed at an astonishing speed, widely recruiting members of the God Clan. In just a thousand years, it rose to become a first-rate Divine Alliance in the God Realm.

It fought the Cui family constantly. Though it was at a disadvantage most of the time, the Cui family was never able to destroy it.

Another thousand years passed. Kong Xuanling found a Divine Maiden with extraordinary talent and accepted her as a disciple, intending to pass on her legacy.

That Divine Maiden was named Zheng Xiaochen, with a pure and lively personality.

Seeing the countless casualties within the Divine Alliance after every battle with the Cui family, she felt unbearable heartache.

So she tried to persuade Kong Xuanling.

"So much time has already passed. Why can’t you let go of your hatred?"

"How many more people have to die before the hatred in your heart is resolved?"

Hearing this, Kong Xuanling said nothing and slapped Zheng Xiaochen across the face.

It was the first time she had ever struck her beloved disciple.

Zheng Xiaochen left the Divine Alliance in anger.

Heartbroken, she came to a sacred mountain and gazed at the sky.

By chance, she encountered a male god.

He was handsome, with a deep and soothing voice.

Under his repeated comfort, Zheng Xiaochen’s mood improved greatly, and the two gradually became friends.

As time passed and they spent more time together, they both fell in love.

But their happiness was short-lived. After only half a year together, the male god abandoned Zheng Xiaochen.

He left behind a letter and quietly departed. It read that their feelings were incompatible, and he would continue wandering.

Ironically, this scumbag was also from the Cui family.

From that moment on, Zheng Xiaochen returned to the Mysterious Spirit Sect and became Kong Xuanling’s most steadfast war faction supporter.

In the eyes of this master and disciple, everyone in the Cui family deserved to die.

Later, Kong Xuanling fell, and Zheng Xiaochen took over as the leader of the Divine Alliance, continuing to clash head-on with the Cui family.

She even wrote the annihilation of the Cui family into the Mysterious Spirit Sect’s Divine Alliance manual.

All members of the Divine Alliance were to treat it as their ultimate goal and strive toward it without ceasing.

Time passed, years flowed.

The conflict between the Mysterious Spirit Sect and the Cui family never stopped.

Tempered by blood and fire,

the Mysterious Spirit Sect grew ever stronger.

Now that the Cui family had been destroyed, perhaps this was the end of fate.

To be honest, after hearing this story, from a fair standpoint, Ye Yu felt that the Mysterious Spirit Sect had done nothing wrong.

Who told the Cui family to have so many scumbags?

And if you were going to be scum, fine—but you had to drag in that nonsense about putting the family first. Of course people would go after your entire clan.

Perfectly reasonable.

The Cui family didn’t even have the right to complain.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Thinking about it, it’s actually quite rare."

"To ruin two successive sect leaders like that... the men of the Cui family really have something."

"But judging from Cui Baisheng, I really couldn’t tell. That old guy is plain as can be—how did he manage to mess with people like that?"

"Could it be bad inheritance?"

Ye Yu clicked his tongue, shook his head slightly, and lay down in his room, preparing to continue thinking about ways to make money.

At that moment, the communication stone suddenly began to vibrate.

After injecting divine power into it, a voice that wasn’t very familiar came from within.

"Brother-in-law, this is Cui Hongyuan. Could you come out for a meeting? There are spies from the Mysterious Spirit Sect inside your Xuanji Hall. It’s not convenient for me to show myself. You’d better come out quietly as well."

Hearing this, a tall figure flashed through Ye Yu’s mind.

So it was that guy. He also belonged to a major branch of the Cui family.

He had previously taken the initiative to provide information about the second and third branches, so Ye Yu had a fairly good impression of him.

But why had he suddenly come looking for him?

After thinking for a moment, Ye Yu decided to meet him.

As for avoiding the watchful eyes of the guardians, it wasn’t too difficult.

After all, Ye Yu had been very cooperative lately. They all assumed he wouldn’t go out, so the surveillance wasn’t very strict.

Moreover, among the Cui family’s dowry items, there were also Thousand-Mile Talismans, so leaving was not as difficult as imagined.

Before long, Ye Yu had arrived beside a lake five thousand miles away from Xuanji Hall.

There, he saw Cui Hongyuan.

The latter spoke first.

"Brother-in-law, Sister Cui Yanshui is still alive."

Hearing this, Ye Yu was greatly surprised.

If she was still alive, why hadn’t she shown herself? Why had there been no information at all?

Cui Hongyuan said in a low voice, "The Mysterious Spirit Sect claims they will wipe out every last one! Elder Sister doesn’t dare to show herself at all. It’s not that she hasn’t thought of seeking your help, but that path simply won’t work. There are people among the upper ranks of your Xuanji Hall who have close ties with the Mysterious Spirit Sect. As the Cui family’s last hope, she cannot take that risk!"

"Brother-in-law, come with me. I’ll take you to see her!"
