The Immortal Gu subjects the protagonist to a horrific scene, torturing Yu Longting in front of her and their son. She is forced to witness his disfigurement and pain, ultimately pleading with the Gu to spare him. The Immortal Gu then directs her to retrieve a Soul-Breaking Zither from a statue of Zhao Sihai and Madam Zhao, revealing that her Immortal Bell Pendant is the key to removing it.

"So, you and Madam Zhao have a thing?" I could sense it from the Immortal Gu’s proud tone.

This thing definitely isn’t something like a pet; its status should be on par with Madam Zhao, possibly even higher.

The Immortal Gu didn’t pay much attention to me and didn’t bother to hide, "I’m her senior brother. As for whether we have a thing, let’s say we do. Gu Speaker, since you’re going to die today, knowing more won’t harm you."

"Your goal is to kill me?" I stood on tiptoe and took the guzheng from Madam Zhao’s arms, holding it in my own.

Almost nothing special happened, only the bells on my ears rose up with no wind, producing a tinkling sound.

At this moment, Yu Longting suddenly spoke from inside the cage, his voice carrying a touch of chill and mockery, "Wife, he’ll first let you achieve the golden body, then make you his Cauldron Furnace."

"You dirty snake, you do have some skill, even able to pry into my secrets!!" The Immortal Gu grabbed the guzheng from my arms.

To prevent Dumpling from being harmed, I held Little Dumpling tightly.

Quickly spinning around, I let the Immortal Gu snatch the guzheng from my embrace.

My heart was beating very fast, my breath quick and shallow.

Standing opposite the Immortal Gu, I half-squinted my eyes and observed him.

The heavily injured Yu Longting didn’t let me resist the Immortal Gu and didn’t blame me for bringing Dumpling here.

Instead, he revealed the Immortal Gu’s secret, which was worthy of ponder.

Yu Longting twisted his bloody snake body, probing his eyeless snake head out a little, as if mocking the Immortal Gu, "You got it wrong, I’m water-based, not earth-based. You’re a Golden Immortal, how can you not even figure out the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams."

In the past, I’d surely find his humor top-notch, unrivaled in his sharp tongue.

But seeing him so severely injured and wretched, my heart was filled with deep, needle-like pricks of frustration.

"Oh, you love to talk, love to talk; at the door of death, still indulging in idle boasts. Yu Longting, you die first, then your son, and finally your wife..." The Immortal Gu suddenly pulled out a silver soft sword from the guzheng.

The soft sword itself emitted the moon’s light, vibrating like terrifying, mighty lightning in the tomb.

Yu Longting, though trapped in the cage without even his snake skin, seemed to possess an indescribable superiority, "Oh? Lei Duqian, you want something from my wife, yet you think you can kill us all. Aren’t you a bit overconfident?"

"Demon Snake!! Hahaha, you damned rascal, you actually know my name, interesting." Infuriated, Lei Duqian swung the soft sword down.

In a flash, he split the cage in two.

Slicing Yu Longting’s snake body in half was not enough for him.

Laughing wildly, he asked what capital Yu Longting had to flaunt before him, and even hacked off Yu Longting’s snake head, "They say snakes have nine lives; today I’ll chop you into pieces, swallow your Demon Core, and see what you live on."

The sudden change was unacceptable to me.

Sticky blood water and soft tissue fell like raindrops.

Drenched my head and face, watching Lei Duqian cut Yu Longting into nothing.

My whole body stiffened, wanting to cry but unable to.

It felt like a huge shadow of melancholy appeared behind me, suppressing the emotions in my chest.

"Daddy... Daddy... Daddy..." Little Dumpling cried heartbreakingly, his small voice went hoarse.

Constantly coughing blood, he struggled in my arms, trying to break free and fight Lei Duqian.

I only felt his cries becoming small, the snake skin in my arms was cold.

The touch felt real as if he were still here, "Don’t cry, don’t cry, it’s all an illusion, Dumpling, we just had a nightmare. We’ll wake up soon, don’t be afraid, everything... will be okay..."
