Chapter 424: Ashes and Separation Connect Hearts. Patricide, Matricide…

「Old geezer, let's settle our scores. 」

Upon hearing this, those who were about to scatter, including True Lord Yuanwu, all stayed.

So, did he remember, or didn't he?

Even Di Hao was somewhat unsure; he silently looked at this outstanding kid before him.

Following the principle that the more you say, the more wrong you are, he said calmly, "What mischief are you up to again?"

「Come. 」 Di Jin raised his hand and commanded; the Candle Monster Elemental Pellet instantly shifted from Di Hao's body to his hand.

The Candle Monster, having roared into the air, coiled vast and mighty behind Di Jin, as if it could swallow the Taiqing.

True Lord Yuanwu's expression shifted slightly: "Young Lord, are you serious?"

"Challenging the Supreme Emperor at this time? Absolutely not." The eldest True Lord's eyelid twitched.

Others might not notice, but she saw clearly: the Supreme Emperor now has only half his peak strength.

The Young Lord could obviously sense it too! That's why he chose to provoke now.

Moreover, "He was worried about implicating that girl, so he waited for her to leave before causing trouble."

"So, the Young Lord must have remembered, right?" True Lord Yuanwu still felt this little troublemaker definitely had remembered; he didn't look like someone who had forgotten. Indeed, even the Taiqing couldn't handle the Young Lord's antics!

"Unclear, but we'd best not speak further of his amnesia, even if we have sealed this place with our seals to prevent him from probing; it might not help." The old-timers warned in low voices.

Although they felt sorry for Di Jin, they also knew their own lives and Di Hao's intentions; being impartial was already them favoring Di Jin.

By rights, they are Di Hao's subordinates, and Di Hao is managing affairs for them; they ought to wholeheartedly assist Di Hao, both publicly and privately.

But they cannot do that, so they can only keep the youngster from knowing too much.

But it was too late; Di Jin "heard" it.

"Hmph!" Di Jin snorted coldly, "I am indeed the one whose memory you, old thing, have erased!"

He blamed no other old-timers, for they merely followed Di Hao's orders; if action is to be taken, target the mastermind—no need to trouble the others.

However, Di Hao reminded, "With your abilities, if you weren't willing, do you really think I, your father, could actually erase your memory?"

Di Jin's eyes instantly narrowed! Then he heard the old thing say, "Besides, to save your sister's Three Pure Parents, I have just expended half my divine power. You challenging me now—what skill is that?"

These words……

True Lord Yuanwu and the others were convinced!

Who would have thought the Supreme Emperor would show weakness!

But this also proves the Supreme Emperor is indeed weakened; otherwise, with his stubborn, hard‑mouthed nature, he would never say such a thing.

For a moment, they all felt a complex emotion, as if their palms and backs were both flesh.

Can this father‑son pair not get along properly?

Naturally, they cannot.

Di Jin has already answered with his actions.

"You are already declining, while I am strong; destroying you is only natural."

Before Di Jin finished speaking, he had already struck! He would not give Di Hao any chance to prepare.

"Roar——"

The Candle Monster erupted!

Di Jin merged with it!

Could it be that person and monster have become "one"?

True Lord Yuanwu and the others were all shocked!

But the horror of the ensuing battle shook their hearts and souls even more!

The Taiqing Hall is destined to be overturned.

And Di Jin has never been mere talk.

No matter when, he will always challenge his father!

Because he has never been one to submit to discipline!

Otherwise he wouldn't have been beaten to death in his youth just for refusing to yield!

Now, he likes his sister so much that, even having just met her, he knows he likes her immensely! Regardless of whether she is his birth sister, he will certainly, absolutely never abandon her to leave the Three Pure.

But he also cannot let his sister face difficulties, nor drag her into his feud with the old thing; therefore he decided to settle all matters first, then go find his sister.

Di Hao is the biggest obstacle standing in his way!

First settle Di Hao, and he will know everything about the Taiqing!

Naturally, he could also resolve all the Taiqing's problems, including those that would involve his sister!

So, "Die!"

From today, Di Jin has only one thing to do: patricide.

After all, that dead father's mouth might never loosen even in death.

Fearless, then die! Once dead, no power can stop him from "seeing clearly" everything.

And Di Hao could neither surrender nor show leniency, otherwise he would never have pinched to death his own son!

"Or you die." Di Hao opened wide, displaying the might of his position as Lord of the Taiqing Hall; the wicked son who does not repent shall die utterly! He, fearless.

Father and son.

Yet they will not cease until death.

True Lord Yuanwu wanted to advise!

But the Old True Lord held him back.

"Cannot be stopped."

The Old True Lord's face bore the marks of time; she clearly knew she would soon witness a battle that would break her heart.

How did it come to this!

As for that.

The Old Primordial Lord knew very well.

And Di Jin has spoken out again!

「Today, only you can die! It's your death! 」

It's not a joke, but a conviction! He will surely level this obstacle.

From now on, no power can control him!

Thus……

One month later, a blood rain began to descend.

At first it was only a localized blood rain, later it became a widespread blood rain.

Mountains and rivers ran red, heaven and earth changed color, yet no one knew the cause.

But Shen Qingli's right eyelid kept twitching, making her anxious and uneasy.

She didn't know what had happened, only that she could not calm her mind no matter what.

Jiu Li comforted her, "It's definitely because A Li, you want to awaken your flower fairy father and beautiful warrior mother, feeling a bit unsure, so you're panicking!"

"Yes!" Xiao Bai agreed!

Shen Que instinctively clapped, but upon thinking it was said by the lewd cat, she immediately shook hands and still echoed, "That's right."

Yu Jia also nodded, "A Li, why don't you prepare some more?"

Shen Qingli shook her head, "We can't wait any longer."

However, she actually agreed with Jiu Li's statement.

Lately she has had a feeling that if she does not awaken her parents, something may change.

After all, their souls are stable yet they still do not wake; there must be some subtle problem.

For now, only she as their daughter can awaken them; perhaps only by entering both of their seas of consciousness will they not reject her, at least not especially.

"Then you can rest easy, we'll guard you well~" Jiu Li patted her chest in assurance.

In fact, inside and outside the sleeping palace, Shen Qingli has set up a prohibition; this is an ancient prohibition inherited from Hua Zu, and even if the Si clan's strongest formation master came, they could not break it.

Furthermore, with Yu Jia and Xiao Bai guarding the formation's eye, even Di Hao could be tripped up a bit—let alone others.

Jiu Li and Shen Que provided close protection; Xiao Fusang served as Shen Qingli's assistant, entering her parents' sea of consciousness together with her.

They cannot enter separately! Because their breaths and souls have merged into one.

They have reached the point of "you in me, me in you," making it impossible to separate them.

Actually, at this moment Shen Kuo has gone to Zhong Minglan's past-life memory world; Zhong Minglan has entered Shen Kuo's past-life.

So they will have "you in me, me in you."

Generally speaking, physicians would still choose a more conservative but more certain method of awakening them one by one.

Shen Qingli did not do that; she felt they must be done simultaneously, otherwise not only would they not wake, but there would likely be a mishap.

She was right.

Especially when she entered them separately!

Then she fully understood why she had this intuition!

Because her father's and mother's souls are completely immersed in their respective memories! And each has constructed this into a sentient flesh-and-blood world.

And yet their consciousnesses, not separated from their souls, each entered the other's world!

This causes the memory worlds they constructed to be very real and full of emotion! It will cause their consciousnesses to completely fall into them, with no end.

This is the reason they have long been unable to wake.

But this is nothing, after all there is no danger to life.

What makes Shen Qingli anxious is——
