Chapter Nine, The Last Ideal City

The sword of the Giant Gate was unsheathed with a sharp sound, its murderous aura rising as it was raised above the head. "Yue Yier, you overestimate yourself. Just as we were able to kill your parents back then, we can just as easily kill you today"

Since the tide has turned, she was the first to submit, raising her hands and saying: "The Weak Water Sect swears eternal loyalty to the Sect Master and is always ready to heed the Sect Master's command"

She glanced at them and said, "After all these years, Lan Zhan has never told you the truth. Fourteen years ago, six years after the murder of the Yue Renyu couple, Zuo You She Ti brought me back to Wang She Zhou. Lan Zhan named me Yue Ya'er, reportedly out of respect for my father's character, intending for me to recognize my roots. I know that twenty years ago, during the long pursuit, you were involved, and later, you also handled the burial of the bodies. I have come here to search for my parents' remains; you can only assist me, with no room for negotiation." After saying this, she let out a light sigh, "Alright, now tell me, where exactly are my parents buried? We are all from the same sect; do not force me to resort to violence, as it would harm our relationship and reflect poorly on everyone."

She cradled the bones in her bundle, finding it difficult to rise after kneeling for too long. The white-eared creature whimpered beside her, while the transformed figures of Zhuan Yu and Zhao Yan approached to assist her, murmuring, "Master..."

The two guardians exchanged glances, and the sudden clarity was simply exhilarating. No wonder Lan Zhan treated her so differently; the daughter of Yue Rengyu must know the whereabouts of the Muni Divine Jade. Lan Zhan died at her hands, likely due to his lust and underestimation of the situation. They are not the same; no matter how interested they are in women, they would never become so infatuated to that extent. This snow-covered land stretches endlessly, with not even a ghostly shadow in sight; now is the perfect time to act.

However, the howling did not come from the wolves; the pack did not approach, merely lingering around the periphery. The one who had rashly drawn his sword lay dead on the ground, while the woman who had held her opponent's life in her grasp emitted a sound akin to soft sobbing, reminiscent of a mother wolf gently calling her pups from the den. The lead wolf paused momentarily, scrutinizing her face, and finally recognized her, suddenly leaping forward joyfully, its lowered tail swaying side to side, brushing against the ground and sending up a flurry of snowflakes.

Zhaoyan said: "Why not take the white-eared one along? I can see that it really likes the owner"

Is this the place? she asked him with a blank expression

Upon seeing Su Hua, she smiled gently at her and said, "Master, I have completed what I needed to do. Starting today, I wish to live the life I desire."

Su Huadao was well, bending down to pick up Lan Zhan's head, lifting her skirt as she entered the inner chamber. She walked around the screen and saw the scattered limbs on the bed, frowning slightly, unable to recall how this person had once been so high and mighty when alive

It has been fourteen years since we last met, and the leader of the wolf pack has long since changed. The current alpha wolf has grown a pair of white ears, which Yuer recognized at a glance; it is the biological offspring of the wolf mother, who once shared a den with her and whom she held close while sleeping every day. Later, the white-eared wolf was driven away by its mother, and for a long time, it would sneak back to meet her. At that time, neither of them knew that the other was a different kind; in their hearts, having lived in the same den made them the closest of companions in the world.

Yar smiled and said, "This is its home; it can reign here. If it comes back with me, it can only be a dog. In the future, it will hate me."

In the forest of fir trees, there is a cluster of breaths, quietly observing, it is a pack of snow wolves. They do not partake in the wars between humans, yet the occasional splatter of blood stimulates their nerves. The lead wolf shook its ears, took half a step forward, and the clear depths of its eyes reflected the scene on the plain, where the entangled figures of humans shifted several times, quickly reducing from three to two.

Three riders on swift horses galloped across the boundless snowy expanse. Ya'er had lived here for six years and was more familiar with the terrain than anyone else. Taiyin and Jumeng led her in circles, but she was well aware of their intentions. In any case, she had no intention of letting them off the hook; once she found her parents' graves, she would use their blood to honor the spirits of the deceased

After years of tranquility, the earth has finally echoed with the clash of weapons. The snow gently falling from the sky meets the splattered snow from the sword's strike, stirring this glass-like world into a state of chaos

The corpse of the giant was a waste just lying there. She signaled the wolf pack to feed, and after Bai Erduo nodded in agreement, more than a dozen wolves rushed forward, quickly tearing the corpse apart, dragging intestines several yards away. The sight left Taiyin stunned in shock, and Yuer said, "Let's go, lead the way." He stumbled and brought her to the edge of the cliff, where they found a simple grave made of three stacked stones.

Taiyin was almost scared silly, both astonished by Yue Yaar's astonishing progress and deeply fearful of the suddenly appearing wolf pack. While the lead wolf was rolling and playing with Yue Yaar, the wolf soldiers and generals circled around him, their sharp teeth close to him, the foul stench all sprayed on his face

She shook her head, "I am fine." Carefully securing the diagonal of her bundle, she placed it on her back. Taking advantage of the fact that it was not yet dark, she needed to leave this snowy region.

The moon said, "Initially, in order to facilitate identification in the future, three stones were deliberately stacked."

The wolf pack accompanied them for quite a distance, and she merely waved her hand to send them back

Ya'er returned to Wangshezhou and ordered someone to find an auspicious location as the final resting place for her parents. Once everything was arranged properly, she stood vigil from noon until the next morning. Although the outcome was sorrowful, their love was fulfilled in eternal rest together. She had previously doubted the existence of true love in the world, believing that too many fickle men and women played with emotions, ultimately leading to separation. However, the unwavering bond between her parents revealed to her another kind of hope. Yet, she was uncertain whether she could be as fortunate as her mother. There are indeed good men in the world, but she feared she might not have the fortune to encounter one. The unwavering bond between her parents revealed to her another kind of hope.

The morning glory blooms, awakening the spirit, yet many things remain only partially understood. She glanced at Zhuang Yu, whose face bore an expression of solemnity, indicating that he had comprehended.

She took a trembling breath, the icy air of the snowy region causing her chest to ache painfully. She slowly nodded, "Your mission is complete, set forth on your journey." As soon as the words fell, two spiraling divine mirrors dove down, intertwining and soaring towards the sky. Taiyin collapsed before the tomb, the snow beneath her quickly stained red. Yier removed his head and respectfully placed it on three stones, "I offer the blood of my enemies to comfort my parents. It has been twenty years; I will take you away from here, my daughter."

Su Hua nodded, seemingly unfazed by the changes. Raising a tiger brings trouble; perhaps this phrase is not entirely appropriate, but it is indeed the case with Lan Zhan. Fourteen years ago, she sensed that the silent child had an extraordinary background, and fourteen years later, he caught everyone off guard. The cause and effect in this world always arrives late, but it never fails to show up. The lives that should be returned to others will be claimed even across mountains and seas, especially by someone like Lan Zhan, who is overly confident and attempts to sleep with a knife under his pillow.

The result of longing is ultimately just longing, and when they were buried, there were no coffins; over the years, they have long since become stark white bones. Looking back, before the age of six, she had run past here more than once in a frenzy. If her parents were watching from above at that time, would they feel sorrow for being unable to recognize her

Since someone is leading the way, the remaining factions can only comply with the will of heaven. The bonds of friendship among people in the martial world can sometimes be harder than black iron, yet at other times, they can be as fragile as glass. The transition of power within the sect resembles the change of imperial authority, where the law of the victor becoming the king applies universally. The defeated former leader of the pavilion is soon forgotten; unless there are specific interests involved, no one will remember him.

She let out a sound, "Then let me guide you two!" Raising her whip, she pointed directly to the northwest, "That is the throat of the snow region, with two towering mountains and a deep valley below, approximately one hundred zhang in length. When I was young, I followed the wolf mother to hunt here. While the outside world was in the bloom of spring, thousands of yellow sheep would migrate out of the valley. As long as we held our ground there, we would have an endless supply of prey.

She knocked her head three times, fearing to disturb her parents, and began to dig with her bare hands. The rocky outcrop provided excellent shelter, with only a thin layer of twenty years' accumulated snow from the snowy region resting on the grave. With tear-filled eyes, she scooped up handfuls of earth, her blood and tears mingling with the mud, yet the deeper she went, the more fearful she became.

The original Four Great Protectors, with the deaths of Po Jun and Tan Lang, are left with only Tai Yin and Ju Men. Back in the day, they were all involved in the pursuit of the Yue couple, and later, only they knew the location of the buried bodies

With a beautiful appearance, she engaged in all sorts of sordid affairs. Holding a severed head for a moment, she picked up a piece of flesh that had fallen on the edge of the bed, opened the window, and threw it towards the leopard cage outside the wall.

The mark made half an hour ago is right beneath her feet, she tightened the reins and spun in place, casting a smile that was neither a smile nor a frown at them, "Are the two guardians testing my patience?"

Her words took both of them by surprise, causing them to panic, "How could the Lord... end up among the wolf pack?"

Compared to dealing with people, Ya'er prefers wolves; they are simple and direct, with clear likes and dislikes

The first thing Yue Yuer did after gaining the ability to move freely was to take them to the snowy region. Unlike others who enjoyed the blessings of being cherished by their parents, she was haunted by suffocating pain every midnight when she dreamt. The only thing she could do was to bring back the remains of her parents, ensuring they would no longer lie exposed in the wilderness. Having been an orphan without a guardian for so many years, finding her parents meant she would finally have relatives to honor and pay tribute to.

She knew that Su Hua's path had been severed by Lan Zhan personally. A woman will inevitably have some feelings for her first man, whether it be love or hate

Turning his head to look at Su Hua, "Master, I entrust you with the matter of handling Lan Zhan's affairs."

Yue Yuer let out a long sigh; after years of hiding, she finally had her revenge today. She understood the group of people before her well; they were bullies who feared the strong. If you were stronger than them, they would submit to you. She looked down on these people, but given the current situation, she would have to tolerate them for the time being. Once she had the opportunity to free her hands, she would deal with them differently.

Beneath this loess lies not others, but her biological parents. They have never met, and today they are to encounter each other in such a manner. She has been pondering whether, in the frigid and frozen snow-covered land, their bodies might remain intact. If so, to have the fortune of seeing them would indeed be a cruel thing.

The Moon and the Giant Gate responded perfunctorily: "We, the subordinates, do not dare, only because we have not been here for many years, and for a moment, we are somewhat at a loss for direction"

Suddenly, a long howl echoed, one that was extremely familiar, belonging to the unique feeding invitation signal of the snow wolf. At this moment, they could no longer contain themselves; the wolf pack surged forth like arrows released from a bow, rushing out of the forest and heading towards the battlefield
