"Sister?" The woman's voice was filled with endless trembling and doubt. She repeated these two words, as if these two words were the deepest obsession in her heart and the reality she was most unwilling to face. She suddenly stepped back, staggering, as if every step was stepping on an endless abyss. Her hands kept tearing in the air, as if trying to grab something, but her hands were always empty. Only the invisible pain and regret tightly entangled her.

"She is my sister, yes! She is my sister, my real sister..." The woman's voice gradually rose, and finally turned into a heart-wrenching cry. Her eyes became abnormal, flashing with a crazy light, and she pulled her hair hard with both hands, as if to relieve the pain in her heart. The hairpin fell off during her struggle, and her bun became messy. The red veil covering her face was also ruthlessly pulled off, revealing a pale and bloodless face. Her eyes were empty and desperate, as if she had overdrawn all her vitality, and her body was shaking constantly, as if she would fall down at any time.

"I hurt her, I hurt my sister, it's me, it's me..." The woman murmured to herself, her voice full of self-blame and regret. She took heavy steps, as if every step was stepping on her heart. Her eyes were full of pain and struggle, as if she was trying to find a way out.

Luo Hongchen stood aside, watching all this quietly. He sighed softly, without saying much, but silently put the red lantern in his hand on the ground, letting it lie quietly next to the Red Makeup Sword. The lantern emitted a soft light, but it was particularly dazzling in this cold night.

"No!" The woman stopped abruptly, her eyes suddenly became sharp. A fierce expression appeared on her face, like an enraged beast. She stared at Luo Hongchen and Fairy Ji Yao closely, her voice filled with endless resentment and anger: "It's you! It's you who forced me to have no way out, so..." She stopped talking halfway, and a hideous smile appeared on her face. That beautiful face looked a little scary at this moment, like a demon crawling out of hell.

Fairy Ji Yao looked at the woman in front of her, her heart full of pity and sympathy. She knew that the woman had deep obsessions and pain in her heart, and these pains were exactly what she had experienced in her life. She shook her true energy, and took advantage of the woman's trance to transform her appearance into her own, and even her breath became extremely cold. She walked forward, picked up the lantern on the ground, and asked coldly: "Why did you hurt me?" The voice was cold and firm and could not be refuted.

The woman was terrified when she saw the appearance of Fairy Ji Yao and the lantern in her hand. She huddled up in fear and trembled constantly: "Sister? Are you my sister? No! I didn't hurt you. It's not me, it's not me..." Her voice was full of fear and helplessness, as if a wronged child was trying her best to defend herself.

"It's not you? Have you forgotten what happened that day?" Fairy Ji Yao asked again. She walked forward slowly with murderous intent in her eyes. She seemed to really know what happened that year, which made the woman feel extremely scared and desperate.

Luo Hongchen watched all this with mixed feelings. He understood that Fairy Ji Yao was helping him to get the truth of the past. But he was there in person and no one else was secretly involved. Moreover, his identity at that time was not very valuable. At most, he was just a master without a sect in the Xuanmen. He had some talent but it was not worth being calculated from beginning to end. Luo Hongchen knew this very well.

But even so, he still couldn't understand the truth of what happened back then. He secretly investigated many times but was always interrupted by something unexpected. When he went back to investigate again, he was clueless again. All the connections and clues seemed to have been secretly calculated and wiped out. This made him feel extremely angry and helpless.

"I didn't forget that day. Nothing happened. It's not that I'm not me..." The woman's eyes were confused and she was frightened by Fairy Ji Yao. She didn't know what to say. She seemed to be really stopped by some means, making her unable to remember but unable to speak. Every time she talked about the key points, she would become confused and her words were incoherent.

Fairy Ji Yao looked at her and was more convinced that she knew something but was restrained by some force and could not tell the truth. She decided to continue asking: "If you tell it, you will die." Her words were full of threats and murderous intent, which made the woman even more scared.

Mo Wenjian stood aside and watched all this, his eyes flickering with a thoughtful look. He seemed to have thought of something important, and his eyes became somewhat clear. He took a few steps forward, and Changlijian took the opportunity to move forward, the tip of the sword pressed against the woman's throat, and said coldly: "If you tell it out, you will die." His voice was cold and resolute, as if he really wanted to take the woman's life.

The woman was so frightened that she trembled all over. She didn't dare to dodge backwards, but closed her eyes in fear. She seemed to think that Mo Wenjian was someone behind her. Her eyes were full of fear and despair: "I didn't ask you to kill me. I didn't say anything..." Her voice became weaker and weaker, as if she would disappear in this cold night at any time.

"Did he ask you to hurt me?" Fairy Ji Yao stepped forward and pointed at Mo Wenjian and asked coldly. Her eyes were full of doubt and anger, as if she wanted to uncover the truth behind this.

The woman covered her head with her hands, then covered her ears, closed her eyes, and dared not look. She just kept shaking her head and said, "I don't know, don't ask me anymore. I don't know. It wasn't me who killed my sister. It wasn't my sister. It wasn't my parents. It wasn't..." Her voice gradually became weaker, as if she would disappear in the endless darkness at any time. She curled up into a ball and knelt on the ground. She was shaking all the time, obviously she was extremely scared, like a child who did something wrong and didn't dare to admit her mistakes when being questioned.

Under the vast sky, on the top of the Great Snow Mountain, a mystery that spanned time and space was slowly unveiling its mysterious veil. Fairy Ji Yao, as the master of Yaochi and the leader of one of the five great imperial sects, spoke with a voice as cold as ice and jade, and every word struck the heart: "'You killed my parents!' This question was like a thunderbolt from the sky, shocking everyone present. Fairy Ji Yao's eyes, which seemed to be able to see through everything in the world, flashed with complex emotions. She realized that the truth hidden under the dust of time was far more complicated than she had imagined."

"What happened back then was by no means accidental. The Great Snow Mountain, this once peaceful and tranquil holy land, had already been quietly infiltrated by an invisible undercurrent long before it was invaded by foreign enemies. The far-reaching plot and the cunning of the plotter make people wonder what the purpose behind it is. Fairy Ji Yao knows very well that all these calculations are not just aimed at Luo Hongchen, nor are they a burden that the Lingyan Pavilion can bear. The involvement of the Hidden Sword Sect, the coincidence of the Changli Sword, the experience of the Mo Wen Sword, and even the glory and suffering of Luo Hongchen in the future, all of these seem to be carefully arranged by an invisible hand, and are linked together."

"Luo Hongchen, the former great emperor, his fate seems to have been predetermined by some force. Let me ask, who can have such a omniscient ability to calculate the future of the great emperor to the exact degree? Even the strong men in the Imperial Garden may find it difficult to do so. Then, who is the real protagonist in this plot? Who is the black hand hiding behind the scenes? What is the purpose of his setting up this unprecedented chess game?"

"Although the woman's crazy talk seems messy, there are clues. The letter she said may be the key to solving all these mysteries. Someone took advantage of her innocence or used some kind of promise as bait to make her a pawn to pass on information. The concealment of Lingyan Pavilion in the Great Snow Mountain is even more confusing. Why did the old Pavilion Master and his wife announce to the public that there was only one daughter left? That woman is obviously Ling Xueer's sister. What secrets are hidden behind this?"

"Luo Hongchen's eyes lingered between the Hongzhuang sword and the Qingfeng Changli in Mo Wenjian's hand, and finally turned into a heavy sigh. He knew very well that the source of all this was because of himself. The investigation over the years not only did not bring him closer to the truth, but instead made him bear more blood debts. He looked at the woman, his eyes full of guilt and determination: 'Everything started because of me. I am an old man who is useless. I have harmed your two sisters and your parents. Now, the only thing I can do is to help you get rid of it.'"

"As Luo Hongchen slowly raised his hands, the power of the mortal world gathered at his fingertips like the water of a river. In the sword formation, it seemed that some ancient and powerful power was awakening, shaking the space and subverting the rules. Seeing this, the woman showed an unusual look of worry. She shouted at the top of her lungs, trying to stop Luo Hongchen's actions. However, Luo Hongchen showed a smile of relief on his face: 'Kill me if you want. Your sister died under my sword, so I should follow her. Although it's a little late now, I am willing to follow in her footsteps.'"

"Fairy Ji Yao watched from the side, feeling mixed emotions. She didn't know whether she should stop Luo Hongchen's crazy behavior, and she didn't know what he was trying to do. Mo Wenjian smiled slightly, and that smile showed both expectation and relief for his old friend, as well as nostalgia and emotion for the past years. The two of them seemed to have returned to the days when they fought side by side and talked about everything."

"In this battle that spans time and space, everyone is fighting for their own beliefs and persistence. Luo Hongchen, Fairy Ji Yao, Mo Wenjian... They may have different identities and positions, but under this sky shrouded in conspiracy and calculation, they all chose to face and fight. And the truth and the plotters hidden behind will gradually surface with their unremitting efforts..."

In that dark and deep space, a slight sound passed by like a thin thread, like a breeze gently blowing through a narrow cave entrance, bringing a long and far-reaching echo, but it seemed to have lost its direction and didn't know where to go. Luo Hongchen stopped his movements, his eyes fixed on the extremely gorgeous ball of light in front of him. In this ball of light, countless colors intertwined together, with no distinction between primary and secondary, and no direction to be identified, just quietly emitting dazzling light, as if it could illuminate the entire world isolated by the sword formation.

Suddenly, a stream of light burst out from the ball of light, like lightning that cut through the night sky, and rushed straight towards the woman in red. The woman's body shook, and the expression on her face froze instantly. Her eyes revealed an indescribable struggle and resistance, as if she was filled with deep fear and unwillingness to this sudden power. However, although she moved her fingers slightly and tried to resist, the power surged like a torrent, making her unable to resist at all.

Then, the second, the third... countless streams of light followed one after another and merged into the woman's body. As these streams of light merged, the woman's body began to undergo subtle changes. She was stunned for a moment, and there seemed to be flames jumping in her eyes, and finally turned into two fierce rays of light that shot towards Luo Hongchen. At the same time, the aura around her became extremely cold, like the biting cold wind in the cold winter, which made people shudder.

Fairy Ji Yao stood aside and witnessed all this. The red lantern in her hand suddenly flew out of her hand, as if it was pulled back into the woman's hand by an invisible force. As the wind suddenly rose, the woman's momentum began to rise continuously, and her long skirt fluttered in the wind, like a fairy from the sky descending to the earth. In the end, her momentum was comparable to that of Luo Hongchen and Mo Wenjian, strong and long, and at the same time with a sinister and cold aura, which made people think of the legendary Nine Netherworld and the residual soul of the Demon Abyss.

"You finally agreed to see me." A voice echoed in the space, as if two voices were intertwined. The woman in red spoke slowly, revealing a hint of complex emotions in her voice. She looked at Luo Hongchen, with a strange light flashing in her eyes. Luo Hongchen did not answer immediately, but stared at the other party in silence. Fairy Ji Yao was stunned: "Burning Heart Art!!" She exclaimed, obviously shocked by this sudden change.

The woman in red turned to look at Fairy Ji Yao, with a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Did you bring this little girl here?" she asked. Luo Hongchen nodded: "I guess so. You can't hurt her life." The woman in red nodded to show her understanding, and then shook her head: "No wonder her Taiyin Saint Body is a little inadequate. It seems that the missing part should be a sister with a Xuanyin Body? Such a deep sisterly love is really rare. But don't worry, I won't hurt her at all. And if the Red Makeup Sword is in her hands, it may be able to help her block some disasters in the future."

Fairy Ji Yao was moved when she heard this. She recalled her experience with her sister and the forgotten past. She looked at the woman in red coldly and asked, "Do you know the Burning Heart Technique? But I remember that there is no such technique in the Lingyan Pavilion of the Great Snow Mountain... No! According to what you said, you died three hundred years ago? How could it be related to my mother's great hatred?" She suddenly realized something and woke up suddenly. The woman in red was already a spirit body and her mother was still alive when she died, and she didn't give birth to her and her sister, so how could the hatred later be related to her?
