You Drove Me Out with Your Hypocrisy and now Crying When I Come to Take It All? Chapter 131 : Chapter 131

Chapter 131: A Loving Father and a Filial Daughter

Iron Halberd Mountain.

On a splendid bed, Xiao Qian slowly woke up.

When she opened her eyes, the familiar decorations and furnishings left her feeling dazed.

That day, Brother Tie Ke had gone to Jiannan Circuit as the lord of Iron Halberd Mountain.

Their group had hidden in ambush outside the city to receive him.

After that, many things had happened.

Grievously wounded, she had been locked in a sunless prison and subjected to endless tornt.

Now that she had finally returned to the ho she knew, the taut string in her heart loosened.

But in the very next instant, Tie Ke’s corpse and the miserable sight of her elder brother Xiao Lin’s death appeared before her eyes.

In her daze, she even seed to realize what had happened to her second brother, Xiao Xiu...

“Big Brother! Second Brother!”

Xiao Qian suddenly cried out, startling the maid outside the door.

“The Princess is awake!”

The maid in white lowered her head, walked to the bedside, and knelt down. With tears streaming down her face, she sobbed, “Princess, you’re finally awake. The Heir and the Second Prince both sacrificed themselves for the Great Undertaking of Heavenly Fate!”

Her brothers... had both died?

Xiao Qian stared blankly at the ceiling as tears slipped from the corners of her eyes.

Sacrificed for the Righteous Path of Heavenly Fate.

If it had been the old her, sothing like this would have made her cry, and it would also have made her proud of her brothers.

But now, what flashed through her mind was the mont when Xiao Lin and Xiao Xiu had questioned the Dragon Blood at the brink of death.

And the words of her once-loving second brother, telling her to burn away her life and blood to save himself.

What exactly were the Descendants of Heavenly Fate?

Was it truly so lofty and noble responsibility, or was it nothing but self-deception?

What made them any more special than the ordinary people who had been slaughtered?

Power, status, the strong devouring the weak.

None of that was the Righteous Path of Heavenly Fate.

Xiao Qian blankly raised her fair hand and looked at the Vital Blood and Internal Energy she had cultivated.

Suddenly, a familiar sensation appeared inside her body.

With a single thought, waves of powerful Dragon Might surged forth.

It was even stronger than before, almost equal to the combined strength her two brothers and she had once possessed together.

With Dragon Blood paired with the Blood-Burning Frenzied Force, she had actually broken through, reaching the Late Seventh Rank.

Xiao Qian’s eyes widened, and her thoughts descended completely into chaos.

Could Heavenly Fate truly exist?

Was the return of her lost Dragon Blood a trial from Heaven’s Will?

Just as Xiao Qian was about to convince herself, a faint pain suddenly throbbed in her head.

Cheng Yu’s mocking words from the underground prison beneath the Thousand-Household Office rang in her ears once more.

“Heavenly Fate is all fake!

The Dragon Blood that cos and goes is nothing but an excuse!”

While her mind was in turmoil, a voice from outside drew Xiao Qian’s attention.

“Young Princess, the prince requests your presence in the Secret Realm!”

Prince Qing Secret Realm.

Xiao Qian entered this familiar place and saw Xiao Teng seated atop the blood pool grand array, cultivating with his eyes closed.

Her father.

A powerful Ninth Rank martial artist, the current Inheritor of Heavenly Fate, Prince Qing.

Behind Xiao Teng, his Vital Blood spread as though it could blot out the sky, while a powerful Crimson dragon phantom billowed behind him.

Clusters of dark-red Dragon Blood flowed out, passed through the grand array for tempering until they shone brilliantly, and then reentered his body.

“Father.”

Xiao Teng did not stop cultivating. He rely opened his eyes and looked at his daughter.

“Qian’er, you’ve returned... What happened to the Dragon Blood in your body?”

He discovered that the Dragon Blood within Xiao Qian was far more powerful than before.

That was not right.

Dragon Blood again!

Why was it always this?

Xiao Qian grew even more dazed, and even a trace of disgust rose within her.

Suppressing her emotions, she explained, “When your daughter awoke, it was already like this.”

Xiao Teng nodded. He did not know that Xiao Qian had once lost her Dragon Blood.

“The Dragon Blood vanished from your brothers’ corpses. It must be that Heavenly Fate left it to you so you could continue their work.”

Xiao Qian felt a chill in her heart.

Was the only thing her father saw in the deaths of her two brothers the cold matter of Dragon Blood?

“Big Brother, Second Brother, they...”

“Say no more.” Xiao Teng shook his head. “They sacrificed themselves for Heavenly Fate. That is the destiny of us Descendants of Heavenly Fate.”

Xiao Qian listened blankly.

Then she asked a question that had never once appeared in her life before.

“Why?”

Why did they have to sacrifice themselves for Heavenly Fate?

Xiao Teng froze, and even the circulation of his cultivation slowed for a brief mont.

“There is no why. Because they are descendants of our ancestor. Because they are my sons. Overthrowing the False Court is our Heavenly Fate.”

“Isn’t that just usurping the throne and seizing power? What does that have to do with Heavenly Fate?”

The mont Xiao Qian blurted those words out, she imdiately covered her mouth.

But it was already too late.

Upon hearing those words, the Vital Blood throughout Xiao Teng’s body seed to boil.

“What did you say?! Kneel!”

The imnse pressure forced Xiao Qian to the ground.

In despair, she cried out, “Your daughter only wants an explanation!”

Xiao Teng let out a cold snort. “Heavenly Fate is Heavenly Fate! Why does it need any explanation!”

No explanation needed?

No, it was because he could not explain it!

That thought flashed through Xiao Qian’s mind.

The next mont, Xiao Teng’s cold voice rang out.

“Do not speak such treasonous words again. If there is a next ti, I will not show rcy!”

An incomparably sharp dagger was thrown before her.

“I called you here today for the most crucial step in the Great Undertaking of Heavenly Fate! Cut open your wrist. Learn how this king tempers Dragon Blood. Once I break through, the great work of Heavenly Fate will be right before us!”

Xiao Qian could only obey. She cut open her wrist and watched her blood flow into the blood pool.

Enduring the painful drain on her Vital Blood, she began refining the Dragon Blood through the grand array.

But when it ca ti for it to reenter the body, the overwhelming majority of the Dragon Blood was absorbed by Xiao Teng.

She was rely exhausting her own blood to refine it for him again and again.

After the ti it took an incense stick to burn, Xiao Qian reached her limit. The Dragon Blood in her body was completely drained away, and she was nearly about to faint when a pill flew into her mouth.

“We’ll stop here for today. Once you can endure for two hours at a ti, you will be able to help break through sooner!”

As she listened to Xiao Teng’s words,

Xiao Qian felt her entire body tremble.

She could not even endure a single incense stick’s ti. Two hours would kill her!

More importantly, she now had a complete answer to a question in her heart.

Dragon Blood could be taken out and put back in. There was no such thing as Heaven’s Will in it at all.

Heavenly Fate.

It was all fabricated!

Generation after generation of Prince Qing’s descendants had died upon the road of rebellion and treason.

They were not people upholding the Righteous Path of Heavenly Fate. They were rely hypocritical seekers of profit.

After the pill replenished her Vital Blood, she stared blankly at Xiao Teng.

By forcing her to refine Dragon Blood, Father was trying to take her life!

If there was no Righteous Path of Heavenly Fate and everyone was only acting for their own interests, then why should she simply submit and let things happen?

That terrifying thought rapidly swelled within Xiao Qian’s heart.

Step by step, she slowly walked toward the core of the blood pool grand array.

Xiao Teng’s eyelids twitched. “What are you doing? Go out first. Co again tomorrow.”

In his confusion, he finally realized that sothing was terribly wrong with Xiao Qian.

“What are you trying to do?!”

Before his words had even finished falling, Xiao Qian unleashed the full power of her Seventh Rank and smashed the grand array to pieces.

The blood pool shook violently.

With his powerful Vital Blood and Dragon Blood still outside his body, Xiao Teng suffered a violent backlash.

His flesh split apart all over, and blood burst out everywhere.

He stared fixedly at Xiao Qian. “What have you done?! You have betrayed Heavenly Fate!”

Xiao Qian shook her head.

If Xiao Teng’s Hard-Body Training had not been so terrifying, she would have even wanted to finish him off with her own hands.

“There is no Heavenly Fate. I only want to live...”

“Father, you should deal with your own trouble first.”

Her body trembling with agitation, she walked out of the Secret Realm.

Then she announced to the outside world, “Father has entered complete seclusion. For the ti being, I will assu command of the Heavenly Fate Lineage!”

Jiannan City.

Cheng Yu was training his subordinates in a joint-strike formation.

Suddenly, the system’s voice rang in his ear.

【The host has orchestrated everything from behind the scenes and gravely wounded the rebel leader without lifting a finger, brilliantly displaying the thods of the Jinyiwei. Reward: three years’ worth of Origin-Replenishing gains!】

The cultivation reward from the Longevity and Origin-Replenishing section of the Demon-Slaying Dao Canon!

As Cheng Yu felt himself undergo a trendous elevation from the inside out, he quickly realized who it was.

Xiao Qian!

Gravely wounded the rebel leader?!

What a ruthless woman.
