"this--" Even the "Slaughter Goddess" like Chu Zhixiao, whose mental defenses were so strong that she could break away from the puppet king's bewitchment, was also shocked by Yun Haixin's words and broke into a cold sweat on her spine.
Li Yao even said "Wow" in the depths of his soul, wondering what kind of complex, love-hate entangled family ethics drama this is?
"My surname is Yun.
You must have guessed by now that I am from the Yun family, one of the four electorate families in the True Human Empire."
Yun Haixin smiled and said bitterly, "Twenty years ago, I only managed to reach the Nascent Soul stage by luck, relying on a volume of spiritual secrets that I accidentally obtained, coupled with luck and ruthlessness.
"In an ordinary cultivating family, a strong Nascent Soul person might be the mainstay, a very important presence that can secure the position of family elder.
"However, each of the four electorate families is as powerful as a country, with masters like clouds, fierce generals like rain, even gods and old monsters emerging in endlessly.
A branch of the family, with a mere Nascent Soul with a weak foundation, What does it matter?
"The trees are big and the wind attracts the wind, and it is extremely cold at high places.
Once we, the children of a family from side branches, break through to the realm of Yuanying, we will have the ability to touch the interests of the main line of the family.
Instead of lying at the foot of the main line of the family and begging for mercy, they will treat us as The lackeys and chess pieces kept pushing forward, only to be killed without bloodshed by their schemes and traps.
"Hmph, let's just talk about the seemingly majestic and devastating 'Empire Counterattack'.
If it is the real core of the family, of course it is the 'Expeditionary Force Command' sitting at the rear who scolded Fang Qiu and commanded thousands of troops, but Rising stars like us, who are from side branches and have little strength, may threaten the status and interests of the main line, but we are sent to the front line to perform the most dangerous tasks.
"If we fail to complete the mission, we will naturally die cleanly.
It can also show the family's 'power' and 'bravery', and show that our Yun family is full of loyalty and is willing to shed blood and sacrifice for the country.
"Even if the mission is completed by luck, we are often seriously injured, pay a heavy price, and even stop making progress for the rest of our lives.
Just like that, there is still the next more dangerous mission waiting for us.
"This is the fate of a branch of the four electorate families!
"I saw through all this twenty years ago, and I deeply hate this kind of life.
But I am in the middle of the game, and my family has to rely on the family to survive.
If I don't move forward desperately, what can I do if I die?
"In this way, I regarded myself as a war machine and swung my sword to kill indifferently.
Finally, I was attacked by the Holy Alliance army in a battle.
All the comrades around me were blown to pieces and their flesh was flying everywhere.
Even I was also He was thrown high into the air by the shock wave and fell into a coma before landing.
"When I woke up, I was captured by the Holy Alliance and sent to the rear."
Chu Zhixiao and Li Yao both listened with rapt attention.
The part where Yun Haixin became a prisoner on the battlefield was not unexpected.
They concentrated on it and continued to listen.
"My injuries were so serious that I spent a full year in the medical bay recovering."
Yun Haixin continued, "At that time, I was already prepared to commit suicide and wanted to find an opportunity to commit suicide at any time - not because I was loyal to the empire and the path to immortality, but because I was used to being captured by the Holy Alliance in the empire.
After that, there were all kinds of horrific and extremely cruel stories.
I even saw with my own eyes the 'lurkers' who were captured by the Holy Alliance and transformed into the past after deep brainwashing.
I would never want to be deprived of myself and my memory and fall into this kind of inhumane, The fate of ghosts or not!
"It's a pity that at that time, my bones were broken, my meridians were severed, and I didn't even have the strength to commit suicide.
"As time passed day by day, under the stimulation of ultra-high-concentration nutrient solution, medical drugs and cell growth drugs, my bones, meridians and muscles gradually returned to normal, but I never waited for the 'terrible Holy Alliance people' , brainwashing me.
“Such a feeling as the one in the imperial legend that ‘a vast white light hits the brain, making people forget everything in a state of confusion’ has never appeared before.
"Time is the best anesthetic.
I stayed in the medical cabin for a year.
My suicidal thoughts gradually faded away, but my curiosity became more and more intense.
What was stronger than my curiosity was my uncontrollable homesickness. .
"I have no attachment to the Yun family at all, but my marriage is not an exchange of interests, but a real love between my wife and me.
She also gave me a pair of very cute twins, a son and a daughter.
I have gradually grown up and reached the most beautiful age in my life.
"The three of them are the only light in my gloomy life.

I really want to know what happened to them.
Although I am not the pillar of the big family of the 'Yun Family', I am indeed a piece of the sky for my small family.
Now, I If the sky falls, what will my wife and children do?
“Curiosity and longing, these two strong emotions, are like two poisonous snakes gnawing at my soul, making me toss and turn, sleepless at night, and the days feel like years.
"It wasn't until I couldn't stand the torture of loneliness any longer and was yelling in the medical cabin day and night, asking the Holy Alliance people to kill me as soon as possible, that the apparition of the Supreme Master appeared in front of me."
"Which clan is the supreme master?"
Chu Zhixiao asked.
"The water tribe is the master who is responsible for the spiritual field, high-level management, battlefield command and lurking behind enemy lines."
Yun Hai thought, "It's just that from beginning to end, what appeared in front of me was a phantom, and I don't know if it was him - you know, it seems that no one has ever seen the true face of the Supreme Master, no matter what Every supreme master is hidden deep behind the scenes, coming only as an illusion of light and shadow and aura of soul.
"At that time, I was so angry and anxious that I didn't care about the identity and authenticity of the other person.
I just roared like a wild beast and asked what the other person's intention was - either kill me with a knife; or deeply brainwash me.
It is better to take away all the pain from me; even to send me to the torture table and wait for me to be tortured than to leave me alone like this.
"The Supreme Master didn't answer my question directly, but he gave me a lot of video information.
When I looked at it carefully, I was shocked, and my whole heart was about to explode.
Those were actually people from the Holy Alliance who had great supernatural powers and sneaked into the Yun family. , secretly captured videos of my wife and children’s daily life!”
"ah?"
Chu Zhixiao was slightly startled and said, "The rulers of the empire are debauched and immoral, and the people at the bottom have long wanted to die with them.
It is not surprising that the lurkers of our Holy Alliance can penetrate into the nerve endings of the empire.
It's just that they secretly filmed you.
What is the video about your wife and children for?
Is it used to threaten you?
" "No, you are not threatening me, but you want to... help me."
Yun Hai felt a little lost and said, "My wife and children's life in the Yun family is very difficult and very bad."
"How to say?"
Chu Zhixiao said, "You were captured after fighting hard on the battlefield.
It's not a stain, right?
There is even a high chance that you will be regarded as a martyr who died heroically.
Could it be that the empire even takes care of the widow and blood descendants of a martyr?"
No?"
"snort……" Yun Haixin narrowed his eyes, with strong hatred blooming in his eyes, and said, "If the empire could be politically clear, work together from top to bottom, and implement every military order and national law to the lowest level, the Holy Alliance should have been exterminated five hundred years ago.
What?
Will it end up like this today?
"What's more, you also said that my body has never been found, but the bodies of many comrades are left on the battlefield.
Their crystal armors and the crystal eyes on the crystal chariots are very likely to photograph me being killed by the Holy Spirit.
The scene of being captured by the allies, then the matter of me being "greedy for life and afraid of death, humiliated and captured" can be considered confirmed.
"The widows and children of martyrs are naturally blessed by a halo, but what are the wives and children of captives who are greedy for life and afraid of death?
“As I said just now, I come from a collateral branch of the family.
"For side branches like us, without deep personal connections and huge resources to utilize, we can only rely on dying and fight, rob, and bite with all possible means.
It's a bit ugly to eat.
On the road to rise, it is inevitable that you will make many enemies.
“I’m really dead, so I’m done with it, but now that I’m a prisoner, I’ve given my enemies the opportunity to humiliate my family members.
"What kind of treatment will a helpless, weak-tempered female, plus two half-grown children who have not grown up yet, be ignorant of, be treated in a place like the Yun family, surrounded by enemies?
Is it conceivable?”
Chu Zhixiao nodded solemnly.
"Immortal cultivators like to kill each other the most.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
They are extremely cruel to their own people, scheming, fighting openly and secretly, and using all possible means.
Where can we be as united as our Holy Alliance?"
Chu Zhixiao said, "I can imagine how your wife and children were treated after you were captured."
Li Yao also knew about the internal struggles of the four elector families and what kind of virtue they were.
He had seen no less than a thousand similar examples in relevant files.
——If the senior leaders and the main line of the four major families were not so harsh and demanding on the side branches and low-level monks, how could the combined fleet of the four major families fall apart in a sudden, or even turn against each other?
Many lower-level monks from the four major families hate the upper echelons of the family even more than they hate the reformists.
They wish they could cut the upper echelons into pieces and then eat the pieces alive.
This is not an exaggerated rhetoric.
The reason why Li Linghai and other reformists were able to unite with Li Yao, a cultivator, to support Li Jialing, a young emperor, to ascend to power was because the support of these lower-level cultivators from the four major families was also very important.
Of course, Li Yao would not be so naive as to completely believe Yun Haixin's words, believing that he was really as pure and innocent as he said.
What about "obtaining a spiritual secret by accident"?
Nonsense.
Could it be that such a secret is just a discount flyer in a shopping mall that falls from the sky casually?
Maybe he killed someone and stole their secret technique and magic weapon.
Now that the situation has changed, it is his turn to be in trouble.
Naturally, he feels guilty as a thief and is afraid that his family will also suffer retribution.
Those who kill will always be killed.
This is probably the inevitable fate of every immortal cultivator, right?
