Chapter 3642 The Past of the Luo Family

“I'm back for revenge.”

Luo Bingyan's expression was complex. If Ye Bufan hadn't appeared this time, let alone revenge, she might not have even been able to preserve her innocence and life.

Ye Bufan didn't speak. He pulled her to a smooth, large stone nearby and sat down, listening to her slowly recount her story.

He had already sensed from the deep-seated hatred on her that she was definitely a woman with a story, but he didn't know what exactly had happened.

Since they had met today, he couldn't just ignore it. They were fellow disciples, so helping her was only right.

Luo Bingyan sat beside him. For some reason, being next to this man made her feel much more at ease, and she began to slowly tell her tale.

“I was originally from the Luo Family in the Middle Heaven Region. My father, Luo Wusheng, was the Luo Family Head, a Great Supreme Immortal Rank expert.

Originally, my childhood was very happy. I had the love of my father and mother, and every day I lived like a joyful little princess.

But one day, everything suddenly changed. My loving mother suddenly fell seriously ill and passed away.

Although I lost my mother's care, my father still cherished me as the apple of his eye.

However, one day, another woman entered our home and became my stepmother. That was Shao Fengyun.”

Upon hearing that woman's name, Luo Bingyan gnashed her teeth, and her eyes were filled with deep-seated hatred.

“In the Immortal Realm, it's normal for a powerful person to have three wives and four concubines. Moreover, my father was the Family Head and a Great Supreme Immortal.

So, this woman's arrival seemed perfectly justified. No one objected, and she also acted meek and gentle, completely embodying the image of a virtuous wife and loving mother.

Not long after, she gave birth to a son in our home. My father was very happy and named him Luo Tianyang. I also thought that having a younger brother was a good thing.

But I never expected that all of this was a conspiracy, a poisonous scheme set up by that woman in collusion with the Grand Elder, with the aim of seizing the position of Luo Family Head.”

Ye Bufan sighed inwardly. Large families indeed had many disputes, and it was possible Luo Wusheng was just a scapegoat.

Sure enough, Luo Bingyan continued, “That Shao Fengyun and the Grand Elder were originally illicit lovers. Luo Tianyang was also not my father's son, but their illegitimate child.

Furthermore, my mother didn't just die of illness; she was poisoned with an extremely rare toxin and died from it.

They had been operating in the dark until Luo Tianyang reached twenty years old and obtained the position of Family Head successor. Then, they began to target my father.

These two illicit lovers resorted to their old tricks, poisoning my father to death again, then publicly claiming he died of illness, allowing Luo Tianyang to inherit the Family Head position.”

Ye Bufan said, “Then how did you know? Didn't they target you?”

“How could those two vicious illicit lovers let me go? I happened to be cultivating outside at the time and escaped a calamity.”

Luo Bingyan was full of hatred. “After my father was poisoned, he became aware, but by then, it was too late to reverse the situation. His safety was under the control of the Grand Elder, Luo Wuqian.

In desperation, he pretended not to know, but secretly wrote a letter and entrusted it to his loyal old butler.

After my father's death, Shao Fengyun and Luo Wuqian, those two illicit lovers, took control of the Luo Family. They felt that the situation was settled and relaxed considerably.

The old butler used the opportunity of the funeral to escape, brought my father's letter to me, and used a token he had previously obtained to send me to the Lower Heaven Region.”

Ye Bufan said, “Is that when you came to Liuguang Sword Sect?”

Luo Bingyan took a deep breath, suppressing the hatred in her heart.

“That's right. At that time, I wished I could immediately return and personally kill Shao Fengyun and Luo Wuqian.

But my father repeatedly urged in his letter that I was his only hope. If I wanted revenge, I had to wait until my Cultivation reached Great Supreme Immortal Rank. Otherwise, I was not allowed to return to the Middle Heaven Region.”

Ye Bufan didn't speak, but he understood Luo Wusheng's meaning. This wasn't truly about letting his daughter seek revenge; it was merely a delaying tactic.

Considering the Luo Family was in the Middle Heaven Region, and Luo Bingyan was in the Lower Heaven Region, their Cultivation speeds were incomparable. Normally, there would be no hope of revenge at all.

The reason the other party made such arrangements was out of fear that his daughter would impulsively throw away her life.

Having been blinded by hatred for many years, Luo Bingyan clearly didn't realize this point and continued to speak.

“In desperation, I chose to join Liuguang Sword Sect. For many years, I Cultivated day and night, just to one day be able to avenge myself.

But I was truly useless. So many years passed, and I only Broke through to Great Yi Immortal Rank with your help.

According to my father's arrangements, I shouldn't return to the Middle Heaven Region, but I couldn't wait any longer. That hatred made every day feel like a year.

So, not long after Breaking through to Great Yi Immortal Rank, I secretly returned to the Middle Heaven Region.

According to my plan, even if I couldn't kill Shao Fengyun and Luo Wuqian, I could kill their illegitimate child, Luo Tianyang, which would at least calm the hatred in my heart.

After returning to the Upper Heaven Domain, I secretly lurked near the Luo Family. They didn't know of my arrival, so they weren't on guard.

It's just that Luo Tianyang had been in seclusion until today when he brought people out.

I found an opportunity to act, but I didn't expect that illegitimate child's Cultivation to be even stronger than mine, having already reached Great Yi Immortal Middle Stage.”

Ye Bufan shook his head. Luo Bingyan was completely blinded by hatred.

The other party was now the Luo Family Head, and the Cultivation resources in the Middle Heaven Region were far richer than in the Lower Heaven Region. How could his strength be lower than hers?

He said, “Then how did you escape?”

Normally, since Luo Tianyang was a Great Yi Immortal Middle Stage and his several subordinates were not weak either, there was no possibility of escaping after a failed assassination.

“That illegitimate child had evil intentions when he saw me, and didn't let his subordinates kill me. This gave me a chance to breathe, and I used a Hundred Li Escape Talisman to escape.

Originally, I was severely injured and knew I couldn't get far, so I hid in the pond, but I didn't expect them to find me in the end.”

At this point, she looked gratefully at Ye Bufan: “Senior Brother, I was lucky to meet you this time. Otherwise, I would have fallen into the hands of that illegitimate child, and not only would I not be able to get revenge, but I would also be humiliated.”

“We are all fellow Senior Brothers and sisters; there's no need to be so polite.”

Ye Bufan waved his hand and asked, “Didn't you say that the Middle Heaven Region is full of experts? How are there still so many Great Yi Immortals?”

Due to the limited interaction between the Middle Heaven Region and the Lower Heaven Region, not only him, but even many Immortals in the Lower Heaven Region only looked up to the Middle Heaven Region and didn't know much about it.

In many people's eyes, anyone pulled out from there would be an expert, and they didn't know the specific situation.

Luo Bingyan said, “The Spiritual Qi in the Middle Heaven Region is dense, and its strength is much greater than the Lower Heaven Region, but that doesn't mean everyone is an expert.

There are ordinary people here, and there are also Immortals with low Cultivation. The difference is that Cultivation resources are abundant, and strength improves very quickly.

Moreover, the Heaven and Earth rules are even stronger. In the Lower Heaven Region, the pinnacle of Cultivation is Immortal King Peak, while here, the strongest existences are Immortal Venerables, and Immortal Lords are not uncommon.”

After hearing her explanation, Ye Bufan understood. The biggest difference between the Middle Heaven Region and the Lower Heaven Region was the upper limit; stronger experts could be born here.

However, people with relatively low Cultivation still existed, just in different proportions.

He then asked, “What about the Luo Family's strength? What are the Cultivation levels of Luo Wuqian and Shao Fengyun, whom you mentioned earlier?”

He wanted to help Luo Bingyan, but knowing oneself and one's enemy leads to victory. He needed to understand the opponent's strength.

Additionally, since he had just arrived in the Middle Heaven Region, he wanted to understand the situation here as much as possible.
