"Thank you for saving our lives, respected Elder!"

The two middle-aged men hastily fell to their knees, kowtowing sincerely to express their deep gratitude.

Ye Yun turned to face them, his expression calm.

He had intervened to save these two for two main reasons.

First, he was touched by the deep bond of affection among the three siblings.

Second, Ye Yun was curious about their ancestral teachings and what the three of them were searching for in the Ancient Demon Abyss.

"All of you, rise!"

Ye Yun glanced at the ever-churning Demonic Qi around them. With a wave of his great sleeves, a force effortlessly lifted the two men to their feet.

Then, looking into the distance, he saw that the middle-aged woman had already reached the exit of the Ancient Demon Abyss. He grabbed the two men before him and instantly vanished from that spot.

「Outside the Ancient Demon Abyss.」

Ye Yun placed the two men on the ground and waited quietly for the middle-aged woman to join them.

After a few deep breaths, the middle-aged woman, pale and panting, finally emerged from the Ancient Demon Abyss.

When she saw her two brothers unharmed before her, she was utterly astonished and momentarily speechless.

"Little Sister, this benefactor saved us!"

One of the middle-aged men quickly stepped forward to explain what had happened to the middle-aged woman.

"Thank you, Elder!"

The middle-aged woman was deeply moved, tears welling in her eyes. She immediately fell to her knees and kowtowed three times resoundingly to Ye Yun.

"Please, rise."

Ye Yun offered a gentle smile.

Then, Ye Yun asked with a smile, "What were you looking for in the Ancient Demon Abyss?"

The middle-aged woman, hearing this question from the Elder, found herself in a dilemma.

The middle-aged man sent a serious telepathic message to her,

The middle-aged woman also came to her senses. She immediately cupped her fists and bowed, saying softly, "Respected Elder, we were searching for an ancient violin."

"An ancient violin?"

Ye Yun was slightly taken aback.

"Yes, an ancient violin. Our ancestor used it tens of thousands of years ago. However, just before her passing, she threw this violin into the Ancient Demon Abyss..." the middle-aged woman explained in detail.

Ye Yun blinked, scrutinizing the three of them once again. He then asked, "Does this ancient violin have a name?"

The middle-aged woman replied, "Respected Elder, this violin is known as the Ancient Demon Violin. It is said to have originated from the Ancient Demon Abyss. Just before our ancestor’s passing, she returned it to the Ancient Demon Abyss..."

Ye Yun’s breathing hitched. Looking at the three people before him, he felt an indescribable excitement welling in his heart.

"The ancestor you mentioned... must be Nangong Jade, right?"

Having regained his composure, Ye Yun asked calmly.

The three of them were instantly shocked.

"Elder, could it be that you knew our ancestor?" the middle-aged woman asked, mustering her courage.

"Yes." Ye Yun nodded.

With his hands behind his back, Ye Yun gazed towards the distant Ancient Demon Abyss. Tiny, star-like runes began to shift within his eyes.

He began searching for the Ancient Demon Violin.

After several tens of seconds, Ye Yun retracted his gaze and shook his head. "The Ancient Demon Violin is not within the Ancient Demon Abyss. You don’t need to come looking for it anymore. Someone must have already taken it."

The three of them were immediately stunned.

Their spirits instantly plummeted.

The middle-aged woman’s eyes, in particular, turned red, tears threatening to fall.

Ye Yun suddenly sighed.

At that moment, his Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye activated once more.

The three descendants of Nangong Jade before him were instantly drawn into the Annihilation Region.

Ye Yun read their memories.

After reading their memories, Ye Yun felt both joy and sorrow; a maelstrom of emotions churned within him.
