Chapter 254: Wu Ye (3)

Overcoming her shock, Wu Ye immediately began to explain what happened inside to Chen Tian.

The more Chen Tian heard, the more serious the situation seemed.

Something was wrong!

It was definitely not what Chen Tian expected.

The moment he obtained his Chaos Dantian, Chen Tian always felt that something strange was happening within his body.

But he never could put his finger on what exactly it was. Now, listening to Wu Ye's account, it all started to make sense.

For him, the Chaos Piece that he found was still a mystery, something that he spent years trying to understand.

He already knew that it was all thanks to that piece that he could have another chance in life and cultivate again.

But even with that knowledge, Chen Tian always felt that something was missing from the puzzle.

Now even his Soul Sea was several times larger than normal, but he couldn't sense that, if Wu Ye hadn't shared this information with him, Chen Tian wouldn't have even known about it.

"Forget it, even if I grasp all of that, I can't do anything, I better improve my cultivation," Chen Tian thought to himself.

He realized that dwelling on what he couldn't understand was pointless.

He should focus on honing his skills and improving his cultivation.

Not only that, but he knew that by continuing to cultivate and improve, he would be one step closer to uncovering everything about his Chaos Dantian.

"So, since I promised to help you, shouldn't you introduce yourself?" Chen Tian asked Wu Ye, reminding him that he had promised to help, but he still didn't know anything about this woman except for her name.

"…"

Wu Ye remained silent, not uttering a single word in response to Chen Tian's question.

Chen Tian took it as a sign that Wu Ye was not willing to share any information about herself at the moment.

Understanding that he couldn't force her to open up, he decided to not ask her for any personal information for now.

Seeing that Chen Tian was respecting her boundaries, Wu Ye sighed and opened her mouth to speak. "I appreciate your understanding," she said softly.

"But since we already formed a soul bond, and you agreed to help me, you have the right to know what you got yourself into," Wu Ye continued, her voice steady.

"Woman, what did I get myself into! I didn't have a choice!" Chen Tian wanted to protest, but kept his mouth shut, since the woman was stronger than him and could beat the shit out of him if he pissed her off.

Wu Ye didn't notice Chen Tian holding back his protest. She continued to explain, her tone becoming more serious.

The air grew heavy with unspoken tragedy as Wu Ye continued, her voice resonating with a grief she had long learned to suppress.

"My home was located in the Third Hell, ruled by my family, the Netherworld Night Ravens, which thrived under my parents' reign. They embodied justice and maintained balance in the realm."

Hearing her words, Chen Tian was taken aback that this woman was actually a princess.

A flicker of pain crossed Wu Ye's face. "My father was a strong and wise ruler, always putting his people's needs before his own. He had an older brother whose relationship was strained with jealousy and ambition."

Chen Tian listened intently to Wu Ye's story. Wu Ye continued, her voice tinged with bitterness.

"My uncle, consumed by envy and ambition, coveted the throne.

One fateful day, my uncle plotted against my father, betraying him for power. At that time, I was only 12 years old, so I wasn't aware of the details, but I remember the chaos that ensued.

In a treacherous plot, he poisoned my parents during a celebratory feast, along with their loyal followers.

And to my father's surprise, his two most trusted ministers were also involved in the betrayal; more than half of the family guards were in on the conspiracy as well. It was a devastating blow to my father and mother.

My father's remaining loyal followers fought against my uncle's forces, but in the end, my father was betrayed and killed.

M-My mother saw my father killed in front of her eyes, her heart shattered into a million pieces. She tried to help him, but the poison in her body was too strong. Despite her strength and determination, she couldn't save him.

She collapsed beside my father's lifeless body, her strength fading away with each passing moment."

Wu Ye paused for a moment, her voice trembling with emotion.

Even if Chen Tian couldn't see her right now, he was sure that the expression on her face reflected the immense pain and sorrow that she had endured.

"That bastard that I once called uncle didn't want to kill my mother at first and wanted to… f-force her to his bed."

Wu Ye continued, her voice choked with anger. "But when she refused, he became enraged and used force to make her submit. Stay in the loop with m-vl-em-pyr

My mother was the definition of true beauty, with a radiant smile that could light up a room and eyes that sparkled with kindness and wisdom.

Her features were delicate and elegant, yet she carried herself with a strength and grace that commanded respect.

Even in her later years, she retained an air of youthful vitality that made her seem ageless. She was more than just beautiful; she was the embodiment of love, compassion, and strength.

Even that bastard uncle couldn't resist her charms, but his attempts to possess her only fueled my mother's determination to not be controlled. She…"

A low growl escaped Chen Tian, despite his efforts to remain quiet.

He already had an idea of what Wu Ye wanted to say next.

The last resort for a cultivator in the Immortal Realm and above is self-destruction. Chen Tian knew about it since he used it against that bastard before he died.

"I was young," Wu Ye continued, her voice trembling slightly.

My uncle never thought that I would witness everything since, at that time, I wasn't allowed to be at the celebration, but I snuck in anyway."

"Witnessing my parents' demise instilled in me a hatred for treachery and an insatiable thirst for vengeance.

But power struggles within the Third Hell were fierce. My young self wasn't strong enough to fight back."

"So you ran," Chen Tian finally said, his voice laced with understanding.

"Not exactly," Wu Ye corrected, a grim smile playing on her lips. "I acted as if nothing happened and pretended to be submissive. I bade my time, observing and gathering information, waiting for the perfect moment to strike back.

Because my uncle never thought that I saw everything, he used the excuse that my parents died fighting beasts. I just cried and nodded, playing the role of the grieving daughter. Little did he know that I was silently plotting my revenge. My uncle said he would take care of me and protect me, so he took the throne that those traitors accepted without hesitation."

"Wait, since he killed your parents, why didn't he…"

"Because he wanted something from me." Wu Ye paused, her voice filled with bitterness.

"Something from you?" Chen Tian asked, then realized what she meant.

"Nine Hell Profound Yin Body!" Sёarᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

If someone could absorb the Pure Essence of the Nine Hell Profound Yin Body, one could skip an entire realm.

So it wasn't a mystery why her uncle kept Wu Ye alive and nurtured her.

"That bastard wanted to take his niece to bed!!" Chen Tian exclaimed angrily in his head, his

fists clenched tightly.

Wu Ye didn't speak any further, as she didn't want to tell Chen Tian about her Nine Hell Profound Yin Body yet, unknown to her that Chen Tian already knew about it.

"How did you get to this point?" Chen Tian realized that Wu Ye didn't want to continue the conversation, so he decided to change the subject.

"I always hid my cultivation from everyone and only showed a fixed realm. When I reached the Immortal Emperor Realm, which at that time I was in, the Origin King Realm, that bastard wanted to marry me, and I felt enraged and disgusted.

I couldn't believe that he would think of such a vile act, but he said he wanted to give me the throne, which was another lie.

But I still accepted his request, and on the day of the wedding, I revealed my true strength and attacked him. Since I was so close to him and the guards were away, I knew I had the perfect opportunity to strike.

But who would have thought that Bastard would also hide his strength? When he fought my father, he was only an Origin King Realm, but he suddenly advanced to the Origin Venerable 3rd stage. It was a shocking revelation.

You could guess the reason he was able to beat me to a pulp within seconds. His power was unimaginable, and I couldn't help but regret underestimating him.

If not for the fact that I had an Origin Netherworld Profound Yin Pearl, I wouldn't have escaped, but as you could see, my body was destroyed in the process, and I could only escape to a mortal world till I met you."

Wu Ye finished her story with a sense of exhaustion. She had been on the run for so long, constantly fearing that her pursuer would catch up to him.

Meeting Chen Tian, however, seemed like a stroke of luck. Wu Ye hoped that this encounter would finally give him the opportunity to regain her strength and seek revenge against the man who had destroyed her life.
