Fang Zhou's divine sense almost completely covered an entire mountain; nothing happening within could escape his perception.
Just as Ming Aoshuang was about to leave, Fang Zhou sensed that a group of people had entered the mountain forest.
They were dressed in black, moving swiftly, and numbered around thirty, heading directly towards the place where Ming Aoshuang's parents were secluded.
Fang Zhou hadn't expected that not only had he traveled to the time when Ming Aoshuang was a baby, but he had also arrived on the very day her parents were attacked.
He relayed what he sensed to Aya and Ming Aoshuang.
Ming Aoshuang's face changed immediately, childhood nightmares resurfacing in a flash.
Fang Zhou hesitated, "Do you want to save your mother?"
There was a great risk in doing so because the Qimen Dunjia Technique warned that when using the Heaven, Earth, and Human Three Style, one must follow fate, not defy the heavens, or act recklessly, otherwise the Heavenly Dao would be disturbed, and retribution would be inevitable.
This meant that using the Escape Technique to run around was fine, but acting without caution could cause severe consequences.
Fang Zhou was well aware of this, but it wasn't a question of whether to do it, but rather to show an attitude.
Women are emotional beings; they value your attitude, not the pros and cons.
As expected, the moment Fang Zhou showed his stance, Ming Aoshuang was moved but firmly shook her head, "Let bygones be bygones, your Escape Technique can't be used recklessly."
That said, she did not mention leaving anymore.
That group of people entering the mountain must have already scouted the location of Ming Aoshuang's parents, soon approaching and lurking around the courtyard.
According to Ming Aoshuang's memory, the attack should happen at night.
In the courtyard, Ming Aoshuang's parents were completely unaware that enemies were already lying in ambush outside.
And those enemies had no clue that their every move was being watched by three others.
Time quickly reached nighttime, and during this period, Fang Zhou had been contemplating how to save Ming Aoshuang's mother.
Although Ming Aoshuang said to let the past be, because she hadn't mentioned leaving, it was clear she still cared deeply about it.
After all, she was the woman who had helped him resolve his physiological needs for three years. Fang Zhou had already considered Ming Aoshuang one of his own, and her mother as his mother-in-law. If he could save her, he must.
However, how to save her was a problem since those attacking the mother-in-law were only of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Fang Zhou could probably scare them to death just by shouting.
But these people and events had already taken place in the past, and changing them without permission would provoke serious consequences, as Qimen Dunjia Technique had repeatedly warned.
As Fang Zhou was deep in thought, time had already reached late night, and the people lurking outside the courtyard began to move, surrounding the courtyard.
Seeing this scene, Ming Aoshuang's heart was all in knots, knowing that the moment her mother would die was coming.
She couldn't bear to watch, nor dare to act to change the past, and felt unwilling to leave just like this, her heart full of torment.
Fang Zhou frowned in contemplation and suddenly asked, "Has your father always been missing, with no knowledge if he's alive or dead?"
Ming Aoshuang was slightly stunned, not understanding why Fang Zhou was asking this now, but she still nodded.
Fang Zhou caught a crucial piece of information, his eyes lit up suddenly, "I have a way to save your mother."
Ming Aoshuang tightly grabbed Fang Zhou's hand, eyes filled with hope, like a drowning person grasping a straw, "Really? It won't affect future events?"
Fang Zhou smiled to reassure her, "Don't worry, since I said so, I'm sure of it."
Ming Aoshuang excitedly nodded, "Mm, I trust you!"
Below, those in black had already climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard.
Ming Aoshuang's parents finally noticed, grabbing weapons and rushing out from the house together.
"Ming Shuangqiong, Huo Ao, this time see where you can run!"
The people in black quickly launched a siege on the couple, each move lethal.
The couple fought together against their enemies, killing many, but soon they too suffered heavy injuries, bleeding endlessly.
Ming Aoshuang watched with her heart anxious and aflame, also exceedingly shocked, because during the battle her father repeatedly rushed forward to shield her mother from dangerous attacks, not something a man who abandoned his wife and daughter would do.
Fang Zhou had already flown up into the air, using experience to level up the Illusion Control Technique twice.
[Dreamy Bubble Shadow★★★: Weaves an illusory bubble within a certain range capable of moderately affecting reality. Range and duration depend on the spirit; cooldown: 100 hours]
Leveling up just perfectly consumed 1000 experience points, leaving 3000.
Fang Zhou was very glad he kept 4000 experience points in reserve, otherwise, he would have been at a loss now.
This Dreamy Bubble Shadow skill is essentially a mass illusion and there's no longer a Foundation Establishment Realm immunity restriction, even capable of moderately affecting reality.
The battle below in the courtyard was already at a fever pitch. Though the Foundation Establishment Realm battle appeared as fledgling skirmishes to Fang Zhou, it was no less brutal.
The couple's strength was superior, yet they couldn't withstand the enemy's numerical advantage, soon on the brink of life and death.
Ming Shuangqiong repelled an enemy and turned to shout at her husband, "Ao Di, take Shuang'er and go."
Under the influence of male inferiority and female dominance, naturally, it was the woman who stayed behind.
Huo Ao gave his wife a deep look, turned and fought his way through the encirclement, rushed into the house, picked up his daughter, broke through a window and escaped.
Seeing this scene from the air, Ming Aoshuang was shocked, nearly falling from the air.
She always thought her father abandoned her mother and fled with her, only now understanding it was her mother's demand.
Huo Ao fled the courtyard with his daughter, not looking back, while baby Ming Aoshuang lay on her father's shoulder, watching as her mother was engulfed by encirclement.
However, she did not notice that her father's face was already covered in tears, his lips bitten bloodied to prevent himself from crying.
While from the sky, the adult Ming Aoshuang clearly saw everything.
She tightened her hands, muttering as if trying to convince herself, "In a moment he will abandon me too, I can't be mistaken."
But a frightening thought rose within her heart.
In the courtyard, Ming Shuangqiong watched Huo Ao escape, a resolute expression on her face.
The young Ming Aoshuang mistook it for despair, but now as an adult, she could understand.
It was a look of determination, intending to take the enemies present down with her.
A great chill emanated from Ming Shuangqiong's body; as a disciple of Piaomiao Mountain, she had also learned Beiming Heavenly Phoenix Divine Skill, though inferior to her daughter, killing most of the present enemies posed no problem.
At that moment, Fang Zhou finally took action.
He unleashed Dreamy Bubble Shadow, enveloping everyone below, including even Huo Ao who had already escaped the courtyard.
All of them fell into an illusion at the same time.
