Ye Chenfeng saves the Southern Mountain Old Demon by extending his lifespan with a Mutated Longevity Fruit. In return, the Southern Mountain Old Demon pledges his loyalty to Ye Chenfeng. Afterward, Ye Chenfeng prevents Pang Qingyuan and Yan Haishan from escaping and has the Southern Mountain Old Demon cripple their cultivation.

Fang Duo’er and Song Lanruo looked at Pang Qingyuan and Yan Haishan, whose cultivation had been abolished by the Old Demon of Nanshan, and couldn’t help letting out a sigh.

The various Sect ancestors around them, after seeing the miserable fate of Pang Qingyuan and Yan Haishan, didn’t dare linger here any longer. If they still had the thought of capturing Ye Chenfeng now, then there was definitely something wrong with their heads.

One figure after another fled toward all directions. The Old Demon of Nanshan didn’t even have time to stop them, and Ye Chenfeng said, "Let them go."

It was only a few brief moments.

The Sect ancestors who had originally surrounded them had all run off without a trace, leaving only Pang Qingyuan and Yan Haishan paralyzed on the ground.

Their cultivation had been废ed, it could be said their lives were over. Even if they returned to their Sects, they would never again receive the treatment of ancestors.

Ye Chenfeng also didn’t want to stay here any longer. "Let’s go too."

As Ye Chenfeng stepped into the air, the Old Demon of Nanshan and Shen Xiutian closely followed, and after Fang Duo’er and Song Lanruo glanced at Pang Qingyuan and Yan Haishan, the two of them also followed along.

After travelling through the air for several hours, Ye Chenfeng and the others stopped to rest in a stretch of forest. They were planning to head straight for the Upper World.

After sitting down in the forest, Ye Chenfeng looked at the Old Demon of Nanshan and said, "You also know I have a blood feud with the Hes. I’m going to the Upper World now. Before, I did say I wanted you to follow me, but if you’re unwilling, I won’t force you."

The Old Demon of Nanshan frowned. "I never go back on what I’ve agreed to. It’s about time I go back to the Upper World and take a look anyway."

Ye Chenfeng could tell that the look in the Old Demon of Nanshan’s eyes suddenly carried a hint of sorrow. He could see that the Old Demon of Nanshan had stories buried in his heart.

"Interested in talking about your own past?" Ye Chenfeng asked.

Unexpectedly, the Old Demon of Nanshan didn’t show any displeasure or rejection. Perhaps this was the reason his temper was so eccentric.

He said, "I originally came from the Upper World. My family is considered a second-rate power in the Upper World."

The Old Demon of Nanshan actually came from the Upper World?

Hearing this, Ye Chenfeng was indeed interested. If the Old Demon of Nanshan was a native of the Upper World, then he definitely understood the Upper World extremely well.

The Old Demon of Nanshan slowly spoke of his past, his brows sometimes tightly furrowed, sometimes relaxing.

But his palm had always been clenched tightly into a fist, his body taut to the extreme, his whole person steeped in anger.

As the Old Demon of Nanshan slowly recounted the events of those years, Ye Chenfeng and the others also began to truly understand him.

The Old Demon of Nanshan’s original name was Guo Anyan.

Although the Guos were only a second-rate power in the Upper World, any force able to gain a foothold in the Upper World definitely had its reasons—at the very least, it wasn’t something forces in the Middle Realm could compare with.

Guo Anyan had once been the son of the Family Head of the Guos. Back then he was an utterly dissolute wastrel, indulging himself in all kinds of brothels and pleasure districts.

His mind was completely not on cultivation, so his speed in improving his cultivation was extremely slow.

His mother had died right after he was born. His father loved his mother deeply, so in his heart he was filled with resentment toward him, even believing everything was his fault.

In a family where he received no care, it would be strange if Guo Anyan worked hard at cultivation. Time and again, he was berated by his own father.

In the eyes of everyone in the Guos, he was a thorough piece of trash, a parasite within the family.

Although Guo Anyan’s father couldn’t stand him, he was still his son, so he wouldn’t go so far as to do anything too excessive.

Everything changed after Guo Anyan’s father took another wife and had another son.

This younger half-brother of Guo Anyan was found to possess an extremely powerful talent the moment he was born. From childhood he cultivated diligently, deeply favored by all the elders of the Guos, especially Guo Anyan’s father.

This younger brother of Guo Anyan was named Guo Anqian.

As Guo Anqian slowly grew up, the talent he displayed in cultivation grew more and more astonishing. On the surface he was polite and courteous to everyone, but in truth he harbored a narrow and petty heart.

Until one day, his cultivation surpassed Guo Anyan’s, and in the family grand competition, he mercilessly defeated Guo Anyan.

But Guo Anqian was still not satisfied. He colluded with his own mother to set up a trap for Guo Anyan.

They framed Guo Anyan for harboring improper intentions toward his mother. Guo Anyan’s reputation was already bad to begin with; everyone knew he liked to indulge himself in all sorts of brothels and pleasure districts.

The most crucial point was that the trap they set was practically flawless, leaving Guo Anyan unable to defend himself no matter what he said.

Guo Anqian’s mother was technically Guo Anyan’s stepmother. To harbor improper intentions toward one’s own stepmother was simply a monstrous sin.

At that time—

Guo Anyan was dragged to the Law Enforcement Hall. Facing his own father, facing the Guo family’s ancestor, facing the Guo family’s various Elders, facing the many disciples of the Guos, he gritted his teeth and denied it again and again.

He remembered very clearly that his father had flown into a thunderous rage, completely disbelieving his words, directly shocking his Meridians to pieces and废ing his cultivation.

Even then, Guo Anyan still refused to admit it. At that time, he lay on the ground vomiting blood, yet his eyes were filled with unyielding defiance.

Just as everyone in the Guos believed Guo Anyan should be put to death, a mysterious old man appeared. He claimed that he owed Guo Anyan’s mother a favor back then, so he wanted to take Guo Anyan away.

Because that mysterious old man’s cultivation was too powerful, the people of the Guos were completely unable to stop him.

In the end, as he was taken away, Guo Anyan glared furiously at everyone in the Guos and roared, "I’ll be back. I will definitely come back. When I step into the Guos again, I will clear my own name, and I will slaughter every last one of the Guos!"

At that time, Guo Anyan was nothing but an abandoned son, cast out of the Guos.

That mysterious old man merely helped Guo Anyan restore his Meridians; as for the cultivation that had been废ed, even that old man was unable to recover it.

Guo Anyan begged that old man to send him to the Middle Realm, and the old man didn’t refuse.

After arriving in the Middle Realm, perhaps Heaven took pity on Guo Anyan.

He obtained quite a few opportunities, but at the same time encountered plenty of crises, causing his lifespan to be severely damaged.

The only wish he had in this life was to return to the Guos and make everyone there regret it, to make that so‑called father of his regret it as well.

Guo Anyan, also known as the Old Demon of Nanshan—this past of his made his chest feel unbearably stifled. This was the first time he had ever spoken of it to anyone. Ever since coming to the Middle Realm, he had poured all his time into cultivation, only hoping that one day he could trample the Guos flat.

After hearing Guo Anyan’s past, Ye Chenfeng said, "On this trip to the Upper World, the Guos are doomed."
