It has been proven that this Zhou Yuzhi is indeed that Zhou Yuzhi, indeed the current Sword Master of the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool.

The four Zhou siblings grew up poor, none born to the principal consort of the previous Emperor Zhou, so even with their noble status, they led a rather ordinary life.

From a young age, Zhou Yuzhi, who loved the Sword Dao, left Xuanzhou of the Immortal Dynasty and traveled east to the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool to seek the sword, unexpectedly demonstrating an astonishing talent for the Sword Dao.

The people of the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool judge only by swordsmanship, not by background. As long as one is confirmed not to be a great villain or a spy sent by the enemy, they cultivate that person without stinginess.

Thus, as they cultivated him, Zhou Yuzhi advanced from an Outer Disciple to the Inner Sect, and from the Inner Sect to the Chief True Inheritor, eventually succeeding as the Sword Master of the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool.

Hence, these four siblings each joined completely different factions, and each showed extraordinary talents.

Liang Yi even suspects that his Master and Mistress becoming Dao companions might involve some behind-the-scenes manipulation by Senior Zhou Yuzhi.

"Do you still remember your siblings?" Liang Yi wanted to know how much memory Zhou Yuqing still retained.

"Siblings... that feels so familiar." After Liang Yi's reminder, Zhou Yuqing probed deep into her Divine Soul. The word 'siblings' triggered an intense familiarity, which proved she indeed had siblings.

But she could not remember who her siblings were, their names, or what they looked like at all.

Even now, when she tried her utmost to break the seal deep within her Divine Soul, she could only vaguely remember living here with someone in this courtyard, leaving behind profound memories.

"I can remember that, besides myself, there were three others living here with me," Zhou Yuqing hesitated, not even sure if these memories were real.

The seal deep in her Divine Soul was clearly the work of Tian Anyu, and that thick Abyssal Aura couldn't be hidden from her. Previously, the power of the Vermilion Bird's spirit had guarded it, preventing her from discovering the specifics of the sealing in the depths of her Divine Soul.

However, during the battle in Qingliang City, Emperor Zhou shattered the Vermilion Bird's spirit with a single punch, and unexpectedly, she discovered the seal that had been obscured by the spirit.

But when she tried to break the seal, it had no effect whatsoever.

Most of her strength came from the cultivation techniques of the Devouring Spirit Sect and the spirit of the Vermilion Bird. Now, she had completely absorbed the shattered spirit into the Eighth Realm, which also meant her ties with the Devouring Spirit Sect had become even tighter.

And the seal targeted attacks coming from the Devouring Spirit Sect; she couldn't break it by herself.

To seek help from other cultivators, she couldn't find any from the Eighth Realm willing to aid her. Moreover, it involved her Divine Soul, it was like handing over her lifeline to someone else.

Su Youyi looked surprised; she hadn't expected this Vermilion Bird envoy to have four siblings. Could it be that those people were also from the Devouring Spirit Sect?

Old Master Ju frowned, the Abyssal Aura all over this woman truly made him uncomfortable.

Zhou Yuqing simply explained the abnormality of her Divine Soul to Liang Yi and the others; if they were to uncover her past, they couldn't avoid this seal within her Divine Soul.

Moreover, even if these two humans and one beast harbored any ill will, Zhou Yuqing was confident she could subdue them in the blink of an eye. Although the two Immortal Swords posed a not insignificant threat, they were not enough to instill fear in her.

"Uncle Orange, do you have a way to break that seal?" Liang Yi turned his head towards Uncle Orange, who was watching with great interest, to see if Uncle Orange's power of Divine Laws could break the seal.

"There's nothing I can do. Let's not even talk about the power gap between me and the person who set up the seal. Even if I can forcibly open a small crack, that's the Divine Soul we're talking about. The seal is rooted directly in the Divine Soul; to destroy the seal is to destroy the Divine Soul," Uncle Orange spread his hands, indicating his powerlessness.

Liang Yi and Su Youyi exchanged a glance, both reading a sense of helplessness in each other's eyes.

"How about this? I'll take you to meet two people. After seeing them, you might remember something," Liang Yi got up and looked directly at Zhou Yuqing.

He planned to take Zhou Yuqing to the Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool. The Sword Master and his senior would be there; there should be some way to help once she met these two people.

"Where to?" Zhou Yuqing looked wary, wondering if they planned to ambush her once she let her guard down.

"Sword Cleanse Heavenly Pool, to see your fourth younger brother and your elder sister," Liang Yi waved his hand, signaling his junior sister and Uncle Orange to follow, but his tone towards Zhou Yuqing was clearly indifferent.

"Why are you helping me? What's in it for you to help me recover my memory?" Zhou Yuqing couldn't believe there was such a thing as a free lunch. Liang Yi must have his own motives for helping her with such determination.

"It's not that I want to help you; it's my master who asked me to do so," Liang Yi scratched his head, unable to help but bring up his master.

"The Banished Immortal?" Zhou Yuqing was startled. How could this matter be related to the Banished Immortal?

But on further thought, the gaze that Chen Hua and Emperor Zhou had given her during the battle in Qingliang City did seem a bit unusual.

Watching Liang Yi and the others leaving, Zhou Yuqing bit her lip and pondered for a moment, considering whether to use force to make Liang Yi reveal the truth more quickly.

But the next second, she dismissed the idea and followed them directly.

Liang Yi gave her a very strange vibe, and both he and his junior sister each wielded an Immortal Sword, as if the swords cost nothing.

The swords in both Liang Yi's and Su Youyi's hands gave her an indistinct sense of threat. Although she wasn't afraid, if it came down to a fight, they could delay her momentarily, giving the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty time to respond.

"Senior brother, can we really trust the Vermilion Bird envoy?" Su Youyi, following behind Liang Yi, looked at her senior brother's confident demeanor and asked with some doubt.

"It's unclear now, but after she recovers her memory it should be fine. Her relationship with our master is closer than you think," Liang Yi replied quietly.

"Ah, is that so..." Su Youyi was shocked, wondering if Zhou Yuqing could be a long-lost sister of their master. Should she then treat Zhou Yuqing more kindly?

Uncle Orange, looking at Su Youyi's expression, knew what she was thinking, leaned on Liang Yi's shoulder and rolled his eyes. It couldn't be such a cliché.

"I hope you're not deceiving me. Otherwise, even in death, I'll make you pay!" A woman's voice rose from behind Liang Yi; Zhou Yuqing had caught up.

"Don't worry, I'm really just following my master's orders to help you," Liang Yi said with a somewhat helpless expression, that woman's vigilance really was misplaced.

As Liang Yi and the others, looking to save trouble, chose to head towards the Transmission Array, a Shadow Guard quietly retreated into the darkness, reporting this information to Wu Yangshuo, who in turn reported it to Ying Xi.
