Chapter 1345: Secret History
Peacock Immortal Mother's words left Little Orange stunned.
Under the Saints' rule, the Immortal Realm had finally welcomed a rare age of peace.
Everyone praised the Saints' achievements and virtue. Why would they harm Mother?
For a moment, Little Orange simply could not accept this fact.
"The Saints want to kill you? Why would they do that?"
Xu Chunniang was equally surprised. The outside world claimed that Peacock Immortal Mother had been trapped by love.
Even Chi Ghost had said that she had been wounded by Qiongqi while cultivating the Forgetfulness Sword Art.
Peacock Immortal Mother took in their reactions and could not help curling her lips into a mocking smile.
"You have heard those rumors about Qiongqi and me as well?"
Xu Chunniang gave a light cough and nodded awkwardly.
Little Orange, meanwhile, raised her head and stared straight at Peacock Immortal Mother without flinching.
"Mother, everyone says Qiongqi is my father. Is that really true?"
Peacock Immortal Mother did not deny it. She nodded. "Qiongqi is indeed your biological father."
"Damn it!"
Little Orange clenched her fists, a fierce gleam appearing in her eyes.
"Where is he now? He dared bully Mother—I'll settle the score with him!"
A sorrowful expression appeared on Peacock Immortal Mother's face. "Your father... fell protecting you."
"What? Fell? Impossible!"
Little Orange froze. Before she could process the deeper meaning of those words, she instinctively refuted them.
"Father's cultivation was the same as Mother's. Both of you cultivated an indestructible, immortal Golden Soul. How could he possibly have fallen?"
"There are no absolutes in this world. Even Saints have their day of body and soul perishing. Nothing is impossible."
Peacock Immortal Mother sighed softly. "Have you heard of the Eternal Land?"
"The Eternal Land?"
A trace of confusion appeared on
