You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 462 - 46, Baili Fengzhi’s mother_2

"Baili Fengzhi?" Fuyi Sword Saint slightly furrowed his brows and said, "So she really had a child..."

He scrutinized Baili Fengzhi, speaking softly, "You do indeed resemble her a great deal, no wonder I felt an inexplicable familiarity upon first meeting you."

Lin Yue was suddenly enlightened.

No wonder...

He had already noticed that when Fuyi Sword Saint had first encountered them, he had cast a few more glances at Baili Fengzhi... so this was the reason.

"Child, your name is Baili Fengzhi?"

Fuyi Sword Saint murmured, "Fengzhi... Fengzhi?"

Then, he used Divine Thought Transmission to ask, "Is your father from the Fire Phoenix Demon Clan?"

"Yes." Baili Fengzhi nodded slightly and said directly, "I am a half-demon, do you know who my parents are, senior?"

Fuyi Sword Saint couldn't help but glance at her, understanding that she did not care about her half-demon identity, and then slightly furrowed his brows, saying, "Did your mother not tell you?"

Before Baili Fengzhi could answer, he shook his head and said, "I suppose not, your mother didn't tell me either, probably to protect you."

Baili Fengzhi watched him and said, "There is no longer any need to hide it for my protection, I am now a trusted aide of the Seventeenth Prince, and also the Holy Daughter of the Ancestor Hall, even as a half-demon, no one would target me."

Fuyi Sword Saint remained silent, just looking thoughtfully at Lin Yue.

"Speak plainly, Sword Saint," Lin Yue said calmly, "I am fully aware of my guard's secrets."

"Oh?" Fuyi Sword Saint nodded slightly, then said, "Your mother is the Supreme Elder of the Daoist First Holy Land, the Temple Master of Zhi Yi Temple, known as Yan Yue Divine Lord."

"Yan Yue Divine Lord?"

Lin Yue had learned about many famous Saint experts in the world, and naturally, he had heard of this name.

Zhi Yi Temple, personally founded by the Daoist Ancestor, was immensely powerful, nearly rivaling the Ancestor Hall.

Anyone who could become the Supreme Elder at Zhi Yi Temple was no ordinary Saint expert.

Among the many human immortals at Zhi Yi Temple, Yan Yue Divine Lord was a being on a nearly unparalleled level, proficient in the Daoism of Water and Fire's creation and destruction, once standing on par with the Temple Master of Zhi Yi Temple.

However, Yan Yue Divine Lord was also known for her eccentric and reclusive personality, the term "keep away from strangers" was an understatement for her.

In short, she was world-weary and misanthropic.

"Yan Yue Divine Lord..." Baili Fengzhi murmured softly.

"Your mother and I have known each other since childhood, and I suppose she was your mother's only friend."

Fuyi Sword Saint sighed, "Your mother had a hard life, born at the end of Great Yu, she endured those terrible events, she even hated herself, let alone the Human Clan, she once told me she would rather be with the Demon Clan, so it's not surprising she went to the Eternal Night to seek your father."

"Who is my father?" Baili Fengzhi asked softly.

"He should be... the Young Master of the Fire Phoenix Clan, the son of the Nirvana Demon God."

Fuyi Sword Saint said gently, "Seventy-some years ago, during the first year of the Emperor's Inspection, the Great Yong Divine Formation was damaged, and the Demon Clan simultaneously attacked Great Yong from the eight border passes, led by the Fire Phoenix Clan attacking the Heroic Pass in the northwest, even the Nirvana Demon God, and the Divine Beast Fire Phoenix descended upon us."

"At that time, strong experts from all over Great Yong came to defend, it was also the first time the princes and princesses revealed their true strength. Among those who acted at the northwest Heroic Pass, particularly Princess Yongning, struck so forcefully that the Divine Beast Fire Phoenix died continuously, its strength severely diminished after several Nirvanas, and was later surrounded and killed by many experts, its soul and body disappeared, even the Nirvana Demon God was severely injured by the Second Princess and fled."

Fuyi Sword Saint exclaimed, "The Fire Phoenix Demon Clan suffered a great defeat and fled, and it was during this time that your mother encountered the Young Master of the Fire Phoenix Clan."

Lin Yue listened with astonishment.

Princess Yongning, also known as the Second Princess, was the reincarnation of the Ancestor of Illusion Demon, the mother of Tian Wu Dao.

Although he knew she was likely a Proving Dao expert, he didn't realize she was so powerful.

Able to strike the Divine Beast Fire Phoenix dead, even after several Nirvanas, and to injure the Demon God to the point of fleeing?

Aren't Demon Gods and Divine Beasts supposed to be on par with Proving Dao experts?

Speaking of which, the Second Princess still owed him a favor, she was willing to assist him wholeheartedly within the bounds of the rules.

This opportunity must be used wisely.

However... the surrounding and slaying of the Divine Beast Fire Phoenix, with its body and soul vanished?

Lin Yue suddenly thought of the Fire Phoenix Soul and blood he obtained in the Wu Dao Cave Mansion, could it have been acquired by Wu Dao?

With the duplicitous methods of Tian Wu Dao, it was indeed possible...

"At that time, the Young Master of the Fire Phoenix Clan was in a state of serious injury, still attempting to escape to the northwest Heroic Pass, trying to return to the Eternal Night."

Fuyi Sword Saint's eyes held a touch of reminiscence, "After your mother and I met him, I initially intended to act, but your mother stopped me, sparing his life. Later, I found out that your mother had previously met the Young Master of the Fire Phoenix Clan in the Eternal Night, and they were already acquainted."

"That Young Master of the Fire Phoenix Clan was an oddity among the Demon Clan, seemingly quite interested in matters of the Human Clan. In the past, whenever he encountered Humans in the Eternal Night, he would merely engage in casual conversation and let them go..."

"After your mother saved him, she took him away, but before long, the Great Yong Divine Formation was repaired and sealed again, prohibiting the Young Master of the Fire Phoenix Clan from returning to the Eternal Night, so he stayed in Great Yong, your mother used a supreme treasure from Zhi Yi Temple to conceal his aura and began traveling through the Human World with him."

"I honestly don't think your mother fell for the Young Master of the Fire Phoenix Clan because of this experience, but rather because she despised the Human Clan and accidentally discovered an agreeable Demon Clan individual."

"Later, I heard the Demon Clan sent people to infiltrate Great Yong and take the Young Master of the Fire Phoenix Clan back to the Eternal Night."

Fuyi Sword Saint looked at Baili Fengzhi and said, "As for what happened afterward, I don't know. The only time your mother contacted me afterward was to ask me to help sell the Boundaryless Flower in exchange for an ultimate flying escape Spiritual Treasure..."

He shook his head slightly, "Your mother wasn't skilled in escape techniques, she must have intended to use this treasure to search for your father in the Eternal Night, but before the Boundaryless Flower could be exchanged for a Flying Escape Treasure, she suddenly sent me a Sound Transmission Talisman more than twenty years ago, telling me she was leaving Great Yong for the Eternal Night."

Baili Fengzhi remained silent.

Lin Yue gently held her hand beside her.

Now he understood why a person not born in Jingzhou, like Baili Fengzhi, could have such high talent.

Being the child of Yan Yue Divine Lord and the Young Master of the Fire Phoenix Clan, how could she lack talent?

"You are a half-demon after all."

Fuyi Sword Saint said, "Your mother should also understand the danger of your identity, which is why she kept it secret from you."

Baili Fengzhi was silent for a long time and then asked, "Did my mother say anything about coming back?"

"No."

Fuyi Sword Saint slightly shook his head, saying, "Even if she became a member of the Demon Clan, it wouldn't surprise me, and if she did, she would likely be a powerful Demon Saint, certainly among the high ranks in the Demon Clan."

Baili Fengzhi fell silent again.

She was protected, yet abandoned; it seemed her place in her mother's heart wasn't that high.

"Fuyi Sword Saint."

Lin Yue suddenly inquired, "Do you know if Yan Yue Divine Lord was acquainted with anyone else? Perhaps a woman who might also be a Saint expert and who has also disappeared over the years, possibly going to the Eternal Night."

Having heard from Baili Fengzhi that Xia Lie's birth mother knew her mother, perhaps they could find out Xia Lie's mother's identity through this?

Fuyi Sword Saint slightly furrowed his brows, shaking his head, "No such person, I don't think. Yan Yue didn't have any friends among the Human Clan besides me, nor did she interact with many people."

"Hmm..." He pondered for a moment and said, "However, there was a period when she was indeed very secretive, often playing with a special Black Jade Token."

"Black Jade Token?"

Just as Lin Yue was filled with doubt, he heard the Blood Sea Saint Mother beside him suddenly speak, "Are you talking about a Black Jade Token inscribed with purple markings?"

"Yes, marked with purple patterns." Fuyi Sword Saint nodded slightly, "Does Blood Sea Saint Mother recognize it?"

"It seems to be the Eternal Night Order from Eternal Night Mountain," Blood Sea Saint Mother said softly.

"Eternal Night Mountain?" Fuyi Sword Saint exclaimed, "So that was the legendary order of Eternal Night Mountain?"

Blood Sea Saint Mother glanced at Lin Yue and took the initiative to explain, "Your Highness, Eternal Night Mountain is somewhat similar to Tianxia Building, though much simpler, mainly for interaction among Eternal Night factions."

"Eternal Night factions?" Lin Yue asked.

"Your Highness, you must also understand that not everyone is willing to fight against the Demon Clan, Mutant Beasts, and the Eternal Night."

Blood Sea Saint Mother explained, "Some people believe that the Demon Clan consists merely of humans who have undergone Demonization. Since demonized individuals can freely live in the Eternal Night, avoiding the threat from Mutant Beasts and conflicts with the Demon Clan, why shouldn't all of the Human Clan embrace being part of the Demon Clan?"

She spoke softly, "Cultivators who hold this belief are known as the Eternal Night faction within the Human Clan."
