Outpouring III

"I don't remember anything from before," Zhang Rongfang said in a low voice after a moment of silence, making sure he had no memory of it.

"Could it be related to what you're doing now?" He quickly made that connection.

Zhang Rongyu pursed her lips.

"Actually, there are many things I didn't originally plan to mention to you. These things should have been my responsibility as the older sister. But now..."

She looked at her tall and strong younger brother, and then thought of the enormous, ridiculously large monster warrior from yesterday.

Without realizing it, a strong sense of security welled up in my heart.

"In this world, you and I are family who will never betray each other. Rong Fang, you must remember that. We are together, and no matter what, we should never doubt each other."

Zhang Rongfang remained silent. He didn't doubt the other person, but rather disagreed with the path the other person wanted to take.

Looking at his face, Zhang Rongyu sighed.

"I won't tell you the cause of your parents' death, because telling you in advance would only harm you. If you can't control yourself and run to seek revenge, you might have already died at the hands of your enemies, and I would still be powerless to help you."

"Are they very strong?" Zhang Rongfang. It wasn't that he was cold-hearted; it was simply that he didn't have a shred of reality in his mind.

The original owner's parents had been separated from him for far too long.

"Them." Zhang Rongyu paused.

"They died at the hands of the Spirit Person Noble of Su Muda. It all started when, during a journey, a Snow-Filled Cold God Picture my parents had kept was coveted by a spoiled brat from the Su Muda Clan. He then forced them to sell it, and the painting, which was worth a hundred gold coins, was exchanged for only a few taels of silver."

After our parents were beaten until they vomited blood and died of serious illness, they sought help from the Confucian Sect and sadly sent you and me away.

Later, when we lived away from home, we were able to survive peacefully for a period of time under the protection of the Confucian Sect.

Her beautiful eyes sparkled as she recalled the past, a sense of déjà vu and unreality washing over her.

"Back then, I was with you when you were only six or seven years old. Although we had some people helping us and secretly providing assistance, we still had a very difficult time. Later, with the support of the Righteous Lineage, we secretly began to learn some secret techniques Mind Method. Only then did our lives start to get better."

Speaking of which, back then, you were still arguing with me, saying I was shameless. I could understand; at that time, for a young girl like me to earn so much money and even help you get your Daoist Registry was bound to attract criticism.

Zhang Rongyu's words were something Zhang Rongfang had never expected.

He didn't realize that his Righteous Lineage Confucian Sect then.

"You don't know," Zhang Rongyu smiled and continued, "Back then, the Confucian Sect Righteous Lineage was only doing this out of consideration for my parents, sending me an ordinary teacher. Unexpectedly, I showed exceptional talent in certain special Mind Method, progressing extremely quickly. Later, as things improved, they gradually began to focus their efforts on me."

"And what about my brother-in-law?" Zhang Rongfang couldn't help but ask.

"Although he was someone the Righteous Lineage had already selected, I don't regret that he's a good person," Zhang Rongyu said softly, her eyes softening.

Looking at her younger brother, who had fallen silent again, she spoke again.

"So do you understand now? We owe the Righteous Lineage a great deal. And now, Little Huan Qing and I have already completely merged with the Righteous Lineage. We cannot be separated. Do you know that for the inheritor of the Gentleman's Sword, once the two are separated, there is only one fate they face: death."

Zhang Rongfang remained speechless for a long time.

Many things, now that they've been brought to light, are finally clear to him.

His sister was not what he thought; she had only recently come into contact with the Confucian Sect.

From the very beginning, the Zhang Family has been a part of the Confucian Sect. This has never changed since a very, very long time ago.

Even her brother-in-law's marriage was arranged long ago. They probably planned it all along.

"So come to me. Rong Fang, my brother and I are of one mind. Nothing can defeat us!" Zhang Rongyu stretched out her hand and opened it towards Zhang Rongfang, waiting for him to place his hand on it.

"Do you know what Confucian Sect really wants to do?" Zhang Rongfang asked in return without raising his hand.

"Confucianism is not as ordinary as you think. The Seven Lineages are not as weak as you think. And most importantly, a major event is about to begin. This event will involve everyone in the world, all the people of the Great Ling."

Zhang Rongyu said earnestly.

"You, me, and the Great Sect Alliance are all part of it."

Zhang Rongfang did not answer.

He had already realized that his sister was waiting for him here specifically because she probably had other intentions in mind.

Unfortunately, if his sister had explained his relationship with the Confucian Sect to him earlier, perhaps he would never have entered Heavenly Treasure Palace and become a disciple of Master Yue in the first place.

Now we've reached this point.

His relationship with his Master Yue and the Reverse Time Society has become increasingly complicated and entangled.

These two forces are completely opposed to the Spirit Person Noble, Divine General, and Imperial Clan who are in cahoots with the Confucian Sect.

It's too late.

In the end, Zhang Rongfang still didn't raise his hand and place it in his sister's palm.

He looked at Zhang Rongyu and remained silent for a moment.

"Sister, you and Confucian Sect are already inseparable, but how can I escape from it?"

Zhang Rongyu was taken aback. With her keen mind, she immediately understood the hidden meaning.

"Rong Fang, what do you mean!? Did someone force you? Or do you have unavoidable difficulties that prevent you from leaving the Human Immortal Temple Reverse Time Society?"

She knew that since her younger brother had appeared on the battlefield of the Reverse Time Society, it meant that Zhang Rongfang must be very close to the Reverse Time Society. He might even be a member of the Reverse Time Society himself.

But before she came, she believed that with her sibling bond with Rong Fang, blood was thicker than water, and it shouldn't be a big problem to bring him to the Confucian Sect side.

But now, Zhang Rongyu's pretty face quickly turned solemn. "Tell your sister, I'll help you think of a solution! We're family! In this world, no one is closer to us than you and me! Tell me, and we'll face this together!"

"Forced? Under duress?" Zhang Rongfang lowered his eyelids. "No one forced me."

"Then why!? Why are you like this!? The Human Immortal Temple there all live by sucking blood. They talk about the natural way of Tao, but in reality, they are all ferocious and bloodthirsty. If you continue to stay there, I'm afraid that sooner or later your mind will be corrupted and you won't be able to extricate yourself!"

Zhang Rongyu tensed up; she had a vague feeling that she was about to get close to the truth.

"Besides, didn't you already leave the Great Dao Sect? The Reverse Time Society also a traitor. Don't be fooled by their current glory and power. Soon, once the Ling Ting recovers, they will meet a gruesome end. There are many things you don't know, but now that I'm the Mother of the Successors, I know a little bit."

"Rong Fang, turn back now. You've already stepped one foot into death! And you still don't realize it!?" Zhang Rongyu stepped forward and grabbed his younger brother's hand.

Even though she could only grasp half of Zhang Rongfang's hand with both of hers, the sincerity and tenderness in her grip warmed Zhang Rongfang's heart.

"Leave now, come to me. Do you remember how I used to lead you through the streets to avoid being chased by stray dogs? Back then, several stray dogs wanted to bite you and eat your flesh, and I beat them with a stick.

At first, you might think that stray dogs approaching you are docile and will let you pet them, but in reality, they're just too hungry and are lying to you; they just want to eat your flesh.

Zhang Rongyu offered words of comfort.

"The same goes for the Human Immortal Temple. They're recruiting you for the same reason: to devour you and drink your blood! You have no future there!"

"Sister," Zhang Rongfang lowered her eyes. "Didn't the Confucian Sect tell you?"

"What?" Zhang Rongyu frowned, realizing that her younger brother's reaction was not as she had expected.

"No one, no one eats my flesh and blood."

Zhang Rongfang sighed softly.

"I was the one who founded the Human Immortal Temple. All the Blood Daoist were created by me."

Zhang Rongfang looked intently at her sister and calmly revealed the cruel truth.

Zhang Rongyu was stunned. Then he immediately burst out laughing.

"Alright, stop joking. That Human Immortal Temple Master is incredibly evil, and is said to be over a hundred years old. He's an old monster who can fight against Spirit General. How could he possibly be related to you? Don't think that just because I'm naive, I'm easy to fool."

Zhang Rongfang didn't speak again, but continued to gaze at her calmly, without a smile on his face.

This strangeness gradually made Zhang Rongyu feel uneasy. She suddenly felt that her younger brother might not be joking! The smile on her face quickly faded and disappeared, replaced by disbelief and confusion.

"That's impossible and illogical. You hadn't even started learning martial arts when you entered Qinghe Temple. How could you have reached that level in just a few years? Don't lie to me."

Zhang Rongfang remained silent, simply standing there calmly.

This silence actually indicates the truthfulness of what he said earlier.

That's precisely why Zhang Rongyu found it so hard to believe.

She wanted to ask more.

Suddenly, a sigh came from the side.

An elderly man in white robes walked lightly through the courtyard gate. His face was slightly haggard, and there was a bloody scar on the side of his face. He was none other than Mr. Rong, who had fought alongside Zhang Rongyu and escaped with him.

After he came in, he stopped a few meters away from the two of them and did not come any closer.

"Zhang Rongfang, the head of the Renxian Temple."

The latest seventh on the Crimson List, he was once a disciple of Yue Dewen, the number one master in the Number One Under Heaven and the Grand Master the Great Dao Sect, and later a disciple of Jin Yuyan, the master of the Jade Void Palace, Di Jiang, the third on the Crimson List.

His talent was extraordinary, unparalleled throughout history, and he was Divine General as the Great Ling in hundreds of years!

This person founded the Human Immortal Temple several years ago, created the Blood Immortal Martial Path, and successively killed several Great Grandmaster and other Grandmasters of the Western Sect, as well as several Snow Rainbow Pavilion Fierce General and one Earth Mother Walker Spirit General. In addition, he repeatedly condoned his subordinates to commit massacres and assassinate many officials Noble.

Several years ago, this person served as an official in many places. Wherever he went, powerful officials and influential figures who had conflicts with him all mysteriously disappeared.

It is suspected that the disappearance of the former Princess Yongxiang was also the work of her subordinates.

Mr. Rong paused for a moment, then looked at Zhang Rongfang.

"Snow Rainbow Pavilion has now officially issued a nationwide wanted notice, listing you as the seventh on the Crimson List."

The Snow Rainbow Pavilion Master's personal comment. "Thousand-Faced Hidden Heart; Blood Chaos Qiankun."

Zhang Rongfang remained silent.

From the moment he made his move at Ming Wu Mountain, he knew that he would inevitably come into everyone's view.

Therefore, the Crimson List is only a matter of time.

"Madam Yu, now you understand, don't you?" Mr. Rong sighed. "He was first and foremost the Human Immortal Temple Master, a ruthless demon on the Crimson List who had killed countless people. Only then did he become your brother."
