Huan Caiyi

Illusory Demon Realm, Yun Clan!

In a secret room within the Yun Clan, Yun Wuji withdrew his hand from Yun Qinghong's back and said, "Alright, all the poison in your body has been cleared. You just need some time to recuperate, and you'll be back to your peak state."

There were also Mu Yurou, Yun Canghai, Xiao Lie, Xiao Che, Yun Xiao, and Xiao Lingxi present in the room. They all let out a sigh of relief when they heard him.

The day after the tournament ended, Yun Wuji left the Sky Profound Continent and teleported to the Illusory Demon Realm.

Looking at Mu Yurou, she was a beautiful woman with a gentle temperament overflowing with motherly love. Yun Wuji had this thought when he first saw her; "Madam Mu, you don't want your son and husband to die, right? Hehehe."

Perhaps because he had recently tasted the pleasure of NTR, Yun Wuji began to think of nasty things.

Quickly, he shook his head, dispelling those thoughts. The Yun family had already endured enough suffering; he shouldn't bring them anymore.

Hmm, yes! He was a good guy after all.

Yun Qinghong unconsciously ran his hands over his body, he felt the poison that had tormented him for so many years had vanished. The cold poison had gnawed at him like a flesh-eating parasite, causing him immense pain! At night, the agony would become even more intense, there were countless nights when he couldn't even sleep!

At the same time, he had lost most of his cultivation, causing his status in the clan and across the entire continent to plummet to its lowest point!

"Lord Yun Wuji, no words can express my gratitude. Not only did you bring back my long-lost son, but you also saved my father and cured the poison that tormented me and my wife." He took a deep breath, barely calming his raging emotions. With a thud, he knelt on the ground and said, "I know that nothing I do can repay this debt of gratitude. All I can say is that if you ever need me in the future, I will be at your beck and call!"

Thud!

Almost simultaneously, everyone present knelt in unison, with Yun Canghai being the first to speak. "My son is right; the favor you have bestowed upon us is vaster than mountains and seas. We will never hope to repay it in this lifetime. If you need this old man's help in the future, just say the word."

"Everyone, please stand up. We are all family. Xiao Che and Xiao Lingxi are my disciples, and I can't bear to watch their families suffer. It's only natural for me to help," Yun Wuji said warmly, waving his hand. A gust of wind lifted everyone to their feet.

"Master..." Xiao Lingxi was so moved that tears began to well in her eyes, her admiration and adoration for her master overflowing!

"Master, how can I ever repay you..." Xiao Che was equally moved. Ever since Yun Wuji took him as a disciple, his life has completely changed for the better. He healed his profound veins, making him no longer a cripple, taught him without any reservation, and even helped him find the family he never knew existed. It wouldn't be an overstatement to say Yun Wuji had granted him a new life!

His sense of gratitude and admiration for his master had reached the point of idolization.

"Now the most important thing is to clean up our side and take revenge on the thieves from the Four Sacred Grounds!" Yun Wuji said solemnly.

"That's indeed true! That despicable scum, Duke Ming!" Yun Canghai nodded. At the mention of Duke Ming, his expression turned furious; he wished for nothing more than to rip his body to pieces and grind his bones to dust. His hatred for Duke Ming was not just ten times, but a hundred times greater than for the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region and the other Sacred Grounds!

"I can convince my father to help. Perhaps we can persuade the other families that still have some loyalty to the royal family," Mu Yurou added. She also felt immense hatred toward Duke Ming; because of him, she had been separated from her biological son for more than ten years!

"However, Duke Ming has already retired and passed his position to his son. He claims he wants to live in seclusion and doesn't want to involve himself with the mundane world," Yun Qinghong interjected. He added, "It would be difficult to find his whereabouts."

"Don't worry, I already have a plan. Since we can't find him, we can have him come to us instead," Yun Wuji said with a mysterious smile. "But first, we need to inform the little demon empress. Is there anyone here who can contact her and ask her to come?" He could easily teleport to her location, but that would only cause unnecessary troubles; no monarch would appreciate an unknown person entering and leaving their palace at will.

The most suitable way would be to have someone she trusts contact her.

"I have a sound transmission jade with me; I'll contact her," Yun Qinghong replied. He, Mu Yurou, and Huan Caiyi had been childhood friends. Because the late demon emperor and Yun Canghai were very close, it was only natural for their children to share a close relationship.

"Good, please ask her to come here," Yun Wuji said.

...

In the imperial palace, Huan Caiyi was in the study room dealing with paperwork when her expression suddenly changed. She dismissed the maids by her side, saying, "Go down; I will rest for a while."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the maids replied, following her order and leaving the study room.

Huan Caiyi took the Sound Transmission Jade, and after a while, her expression grew serious. She stood and began to pace around the room for a moment. Then, she went to the edge of the wall and pressed on a hidden mechanism, causing a secret passage to open.

She entered the secret passage and quietly left the imperial palace. Concealing herself and her aura, she took a long detour before arriving at the Yun Clan. As she got close, she didn't enter right away; instead, she waited for a short while. Soon, she spotted Yun Qinghong.

"Your majesty, I apologize for making you go through such trouble," Yun Qinghong greeted her with a respectful bow. Although they had once been close friends, everything changed after the death of Huan Caiyi's father and husband aka her brother. She had become very cold and detached since then.

"Hmm," Huan Caiyi nodded in acknowledgment.

"Please follow me," Yun Qinghong requested, leading her to a secret passage that took them to the hidden room.

When she entered the room, Huan Caiyi saw many people already inside. Apart from Mu Yurou and Yun Xiao, there were others she didn't recognize, and she sensed that their strength was pitifully low.

In the center stood a young man, dressed in immaculate white clothes that were free from even a single speck of dust. His attire, along with his skin and hair, radiated a faint trace of white light.

If one stood close to him, they would feel a sense of peace and closeness.

"Uncle Yun!" However, Huan Caiyi's attention didn't linger on him for long. She looked at Yun Canghai and exclaimed emotionally. It had been a long time since she felt such emotional fluctuations. Yun Canghai was a friend of her father and a man she respected greatly; it felt like seeing a lost family member return from the dead.

"Little Caiyi, it must have been hard on you," Yun Canghai said, looking at the young woman in front of him and letting out a sad sigh.

"Uncle, how did you come back? Do you have any news about my father and brother?" Huan Caiyi asked urgently. Although she had received the news of their deaths, she had never seen their corpses, so she still clung to that small hope that they might be alive.

"Unfortunately, His Majesty the Emperor is dead, as is the Little Demon Emperor," Yun Canghai said, shaking his head and shattering Huan Caiyi's last hopes. He then added, "I would have met the same fate if it weren't for Lord Yun Wuji." After finishing his statement, he looked at Yun Wuji with gratitude.

"You are?" Huan Caiyi finally turned her gaze to Yun Wuji and asked.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, your majesty. I am Yun Wuji," he greeted her with a smile. "I am the one who asked Yun Qinghong to bring you here."

Huan Caiyi's expression remained unchanged as she heard him. She asked, "And what is your goal in meeting me?"

"Please sit down; I'm going to explain everything you want to know. It's a long story," Yun Wuji replied, gesturing for her to take a seat before recounting what had happened over the past hundred years.
