"I originally wanted to save your son's life, but it seemed I was being sentimental for nothing."
Mu Feiyang said something inexplicable, then flew upward. Yet just as his figure rose into the air, a ghostly figure appeared before him.
"What did you just say!"
The newcomer was none other than the Heartless Emperor. She looked at Mu Feiyang with a grave expression, though he could still hear a faint tremor in her voice.
Others only knew that there was a mighty expert known as the Heartless Emperor in Heartless Abyss, but no one knew why she cultivated the Great Dao of Heartlessness.
It was not that nobody knew. Rather, everyone who knew had been killed, and even those who had not been killed would not dare spread the matter. Mu Feiyang happened to be one of those in the know.
The Heartless Emperor's real name was Baili Susu. She was the younger sister of the previous Baili Family head, and Baili Susu had also been an unparalleled prodigy among Heavenly Venerates.
Just when everyone believed Baili Susu would become the pillar holding up the heavens for the Baili Family, she unexpectedly fell in love with a lowly Rogue Cultivator with no background whatsoever.
Baili Susu completely ignored the Baili Family's persuasion and resolutely stayed with that Rogue Cultivator. Three years later, she even gave birth to a son.
Baili Susu had thought she would live happily ever after with the man she loved, but when she returned from an outing, she discovered that her new home had already been destroyed.
When she found her lover, she discovered that he had suffered dozens of blade wounds and was long dead beyond saving. Their son was held protectively in her man's arms.
Even so, the child had still been harmed. By
