Yin Mingchong grinned at Yu Huang, and his smile was completely different from his amiable appearance during the lecture.

He let out a strange laugh and opened his mouth to reveal a scarlet tongue. He said to Yu Huang, “Little girl, do you think you can take me down alone? That’s wishful thinking!”

“19 years ago, I could fool you and Yin Donghai. 19 years later, I can crush you as easily as crushing an ant!”

Yu Huang suddenly came to her senses. She realized that every mirror here was a demonic barrier. It could see through Yu Huang’s heart and transform into the thing that she cared about the most in her heart.

The things she hated, loved, and feared the most would all be played out once more. Yin Mingchong who stood before her was precisely the existence that Yu Huang feared the most.

Was the test of a first-grade Witch-level cultivation technique that difficult?

Yu Huang hurriedly transformed her Psychic Energy into a dagger that forcefully stabbed towards Yin Mingchong’s eyes, whereas Yin Mingchong waved his hand lightly and erupted with boundless might, causing Yu Huang to be blasted back by over 19m before she fell to the ground with a bang.

“Hmph!”

Yu Huang laid on the ground while looking at Yin Mingchong, and she suddenly felt powerless. Yin Mingchong was a Grand Master, while she was only a weak intermediate-stage Scholar. How could she possibly defeat Yin Mingchong?

Yin Mingchong roared with laughter as he moved closer to Yu Huang. The spirit energy in his hand transformed into a long whip that lashed mercilessly onto Yu Huang’s body. With every swing of the whip, a piece of Yu Huang’s flesh would be torn apart.

“ant”

“ant”

Yu Huang was in so much pain that she was losing her mind. She kept dodging backwards, but she had nowhere to hide.

“With your mediocre skills, you want to avenge your father?! Your father, that good person, died to save the people of the world, but you, the hero’s daughter, was tortured by me to the point where you couldn’t live or die. If the hero knew that his precious daughter was suffering, would he be so angry that

he would climb out of his coffin to save you”

“Hahaha! Little imp, just accept your fate! That bastard Yin Mingjue only has eyes for the common people of the world. He doesn’t care about you at all. He abandoned you on his own accord! Hahaha!”

As he spoke, Yin Mingchong started to punish Yu Huang even more cruelly.

Yu Huang gritted her teeth and retorted Yin Mingchong. “No! He didn’t abandon me!” Yu Huang suddenly grabbed Yin Mingchong’s whip and roared furiously at him. “Father didn’t abandon me. You betrayed my father!”

Yin Mingchong’s expression sank when he heard this. Obviously, he’d hit the nail on the head. He cursed. “So what if I betrayed him?! Who in the world knows that I betrayed him? So long as you die, then wouldn’t no one know?!”

Yin Mingchong suddenly pulled the whip back while Yu Huang flew over to him as well. Yin Mingchong locked onto Yu Huang’s throat while he roared with rage. “Little Bastard! Die and accompany your foolish father!”

Yin Mingchong suddenly clenched his fists tightly as if he was about to snap Yu Huang’s throat.

Yu Huang, who had been waiting for the best opportunity to counterattack, suddenly raised her right hand. In her hand was a fiery red dagger!

Yu Huang forcefully stabbed the dagger into Yin Mingchong’s eye. As soon as the dagger that was formed from Purifying Evil Phoenix Flame pierced into Yin Mingchong’s eye, it seemed to have taken root in Yin Mingchong’s body.

Yin Mingchong’s body was ignited by the Purifying Evil Phoenix Flame, and his entire body suddenly started burning while he roared with pain. “Little bastard, how dare you!?”

“ah!”

Yin Mingchong suddenly let go of Yu Huang’s neck.

Yu Huang fell down, but she fell out of the mirror’s world. She sat in front of the mirror and watched helplessly as the person in the mirror let out a painful roar and watched as he was burned into dust.

Yu Huang reached out to touch her throat again, but she realized that there was nothing abnormal about it. She understood that the damage she suffered in the mirror world would not affect her true body.

Yu Huang turned her head to look at the mirror, only to see Yin Mingjue in each mirror reaching out to her and calling out to her in a bewitching manner.

“Ah Huang, my child, I died with regrets! My child, you must avenge me!”

“Come over. I want to talk to you. Come over!”

“Child, it’s been 19 years since we last met. You’ve already grown up. Come closer and let me take a closer look at you, okay?”

The stranger the person in the mirror acted, the calmer Yu Huang became.

She stood up and counted carefully. She discovered that there were a total of 81 mirrors in this room. If she wanted to gain the recognition of the cultivation technique, she had to find the true remnant of her father’s consciousness from these 81 mirrors.

Even though she was lucky enough to defeat Yin Mingchong and escape from the mirror world, there were a total of 81 mirrors here. She didn’t know which mirror was her real father. Could it be that she had to overcome all the obstacles?

Whether she could defeat the illusions in every mirror aside, even if she could, it would take a lot of time. During this period, it was hard to guarantee that others would not complete the test beforehand.

If Yu Huang had grown up beside Yin Mingjue since she was a child and was familiar with Yin Mingjue’s every frown and smile, she could easily find the real Yin Mi

However, her impression of Yin Mingjue came from other people’s words. What kind of person was the real Yin Mingjue?

Yu Huang stood up and slowly walked past the 81 mirror. She walked back and forth a few times, but she had no idea.

‘Was there no other way?

Staring at the men in the mirror with different expressions, an idea suddenly flashed through Yu Huang’s mind. She couldn’t find her real father, but her father could definitely sense her!

At the thought of this, Yu Huang suddenly had an idea.

Yu Huang took out a dagger and stood in the middle of the secret room. She looked at the person in the mirror with a smile and said with certainty, “Father, you definitely can’t bear to see me injured or shed a drop of blood, right?”

With that said, Yu Huang suddenly stabbed the dagger into her heart.

‘The dagger stabbed deeper into Yu Huang’s flesh, inch by inch. Yu Huang was clearly in great pain, but she did not even frown. Blood flowed out from the blade and dyed her school uniform red. This scene was very terrifying.

Yu Huang was betting. She was betting on her father’s love for her and that he couldn’t bear to see her injured!

The men in the 81 mirrors quieted down at the same time and resumed their cold and heartless faces from the start. Only one of the mirrors was filled with love as he looked at Yu Huang.

Bang!

‘The first mirror suddenly exploded and shattered into pieces.

Bang!

Bang!

The second, third, fourth… All of them self-destructed. In the end, only a mirror was left standing by the wall.

‘When Yu Huang saw this scene, she sensed something. Her eyes gradually turned blurry.

She had made the right bet.

The man in the mirror looked at Yu Huang with loving eyes. He frowned and disapproved of Yu Huang’s actions.

Yin Mingjue raised his hand, as if he wanted to touch Yu Huang, but he knew that he was only a remnant soul and couldn’t really touch Yu Huang. He accepted his fate and lowered his hand.

Yu Huang quickly walked over and knelt in front of the mirror. “Father!”

Standing in the mirror, Yin Mingjue quietly stared at Yu Huang. After a long while, he finally choked up and shouted, “Huang’er…”

Yin Mingjue never called her Ah Huang. He had always called her Huang’er.

Yu Huang, my daughter.

Yin Mingjue asked Yu Huang, “Huang’er, how old are you?”

Yu Huang said, “19 years old.”

Yin Mingjue sighed. “My Huang’er has already grown up.”

Tears finally flowed down Yu Huang’s face. She, hoping to let Yin Mingjue out, reached out to slap the mirror. However, the mirror was like an iron wall. No matter how hard Yu Huang tried, she couldn’t break it at all.

Yin Mingjue looked at Yu Huang sadly. He said, “Huang’er, this is only a trace of soul force that Father left in the cultivation technique. I’m fake, do you understand?”

Yu Huang shook her head and said, “I don’t care! I want to let you out!”

‘When Yin Mingjue saw that Yu Huang was crying so sadly, he guessed a possibility, so he asked Yu Huang, “Huang’er, is Father no longer around?” If he was still alive, Huang’er wouldn’t have cried so sadly when she saw his soul force.

Yu Huang wiped her tears and nodded. She told Yin Mingjue, “When I was three months old, you passed away.” This remnant soul was the last trace Yin Mingjue left in the world.

Yin Mingjue’s gaze became guilty. “You’re still so young, yet I left you?” He thought that he could accompany his daughter to grow up and watch her establish a family.

Suddenly, Yu Huang thought of something. She stared at Yin Mingjue with her bright eyes and said, “Father, if I retain this remnant soul of yours and finds a way to revive you in the future, can it help you revive?”

Wasn’t Su Tingxue a remnant soul too? If she could live as a remnant soul, could her father do the same?

A sorrowful expression appeared on Yin Mingjue’s face. He told Yu Huang, “Huanger, everyone dies. If you defy the heavens and change your fate, you will suffer heavenly punishment.”

“Tm not afraid of heavenly punishment! As long as I can revive you, I’m willing to give up everything!”

Yin Mingjue shook his head and said, “Defying the heavens and changing fate is something only a Divine Master can do, but there hasn’t been a Divine Master in this world for more than ten thousand years.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Huang’’s eyes suddenly shone with determination. “Will I be able to revive you after I become a Divine Master? If I can, then I must work hard to become a Divine Master.”

Yin Mingjue was both relieved and pained to see Yu Huang so determined to revive him. “Huang’er, I don’t want to be reborn. I only want you to grow up healthy and become an indomitable Beast Tamer in the future!”

“But my life was given to me by you and my mother. Without you, where would I come from?! Didn’t I work hard to become stronger so that I could protect my family?! Father, you haven’t brought me to the Upper World to look for her! Don’t you want us to reunite as a family of three?”

‘When he heard Yu Huang mention her mother, a hint of nostalgia and unwillingness suddenly flashed across Yin Mingjue’s face.

He sighed and said, “Huangéer, if you have the chance, you must go to the Upper World to take a look. Your mother is still waiting for us in the Upper World!”

Yu Huang hurriedly asked, “What’s my mother’s name? Which world is she from? How can I find her?”
