Flying Rosy Villa spread across several lofty islets, housing seven Grannies and two Grandpas of Xiayu. These nine were the powerful elders of the Hidden Clan, each possessing unfathomable strength.
Their greatest advantage over the younger generation was that they had enjoyed access to the Earth Sacred Spring for ten or twenty years, cultivating in seclusion on mysterious Xiayu without ever worrying about being disturbed. If a few exceptionally gifted youths emerged, it would not even be impossible to raise a Forbidden Curse Mage!
Of course, believing that the Earth Sacred Spring alone could break through the barriers to a Forbidden Curse was the thinking of a frog at the bottom of a well.
Lychee trees filled the grounds before the villa. Their pale yellow blossoms released a rich fragrance, lending the pale peach-colored wooden buildings an elegant, delicate beauty. It was as though anyone who stepped out of the villa carried the distinctive spiritual grace of mountain flowers and sea coral!
"Someone down below is using lightning magic. Has that little bitch returned? She actually has the nerve to come back and cause trouble? We Nine Ancestors poured everything into making her the strongest person on Xiayu, hoping she would one day reach the Forbidden Curse level and lead our Hidden Clan back to its former glory. And what did she do? She betrayed us! Despicable, utterly despicable! Does she really think she's invincible?"
A woman dressed in dark green slapped the armrest of her chair and spoke furiously.
"Exactly. None of us should show mercy today. Execute her to honor our ancestors!"
Another, slightly older woman spoke indignantly, her expression equally grim.
"Alas, we never should have told Song Feiyao about the Haidongqing God."
An old man in a short jacket sighed, holding his pipe.
"Who told her?
