owner of this restaurant! Do you think they would offend a distinguished customer like me because of a woman like you" Liang Jinfu chuckled gleefully.Having said that, he turned his head and looked a..."Yuan Shi Gu Cheng..."

When Wang Fan heard Fang Yu's words, his body trembled and his face changed instantly.

His right eye betrayed a complex mixture of anger, hatred, and regret.

At this moment, his emotions underwent a drastic shift.

Originally, Fang Yu told me about the Primordial Supreme, his eyes and expression full of excitement. But now, when he mentions the Ancient City of Origins, all those emotions have been reversed.

His face, etched with the passage of time, held more pain than anything else.

Seeing Wang Fan's change in expression, Fang Yu's heart also sank.

As a disciple of the Primordial Supreme and having participated in the Heavenly Dao Mountain battle that year, Wang Fan must certainly be one of the thirty-two surviving disciples!

At the final moment of the battle on Tiandao Mountain, Yuanshi Supreme sent them all to within the ancient city of Yuanshi. This was what Fang Yu witnessed with his own eyes.

...Now when talking about Yuanshi Ancient City, Wang Fan shows such an expression... Yuanshi Ancient City, it's probably dangerous. ...

Could it be… that what the snake-headed man said is true, and the ancient city of Yuanshi has been destroyed!

"What happened to the ancient city of Yuanshi" Fang Yu's face was solemn as he pursued.

Wang Fan looked up at the sky and replied in a hoarse voice: "After the battle at Tiandao Mountain, the Supreme Being used all his might to teleport us back to Yuanshi Ancient City. And that Yuanshi Ancient City has long been sealed and hidden by the Supreme Being using divine powers, completely avoiding the world."

"At the beginning, many of us wanted to leave Yuanshi Ancient City and go out to help the Supreme! But in the end, reason triumphed over impulse. We all know that Yuanshi Ancient City was a preparation made by the Supreme before the war, and he didn't want us all to die on Tian Dao Mountain."

"As he said, even a glimmer of hope must be held onto, for it is the hope of humanity! So... we, thirty-two disciples, decided to remain in the ancient city, tending to our wounds and cultivating relentlessly through the Supreme's legacy. We strive to advance further, seeking revenge for our Supreme!"

At this point, Wang Fan lowered his head and looked at Fang Yu. His right eye was already bloodshot.

"If nothing goes wrong, we disciples can recover from our injuries and improve our cultivation according to the plan until we are strong enough to avenge the Supreme One!" Wang Fan gritted his teeth and said, "But...we didn't expect that among these thirty-two surviving disciples, there was actually a traitor!"

"This traitor, Yuan Yu that bastard! He and those twelve bastards before him are definitely the same! He just jumped out later! He only showed up until we retreated back to Yuanshi Ancient City!"

Wang Fan panted, his voice thick with fury and hatred.

A traitor has actually appeared!

Fang Yu's heart skipped a beat.

This time, the Snake Temple's words... are they really true

"Not long after we escaped back to Yuanshi Ancient City, when everyone was still recovering, Yuan Yu and the inner response of the Divine Clan leaked the location of Yuanshi Ancient City and opened the city gate." Wang Fan took a deep breath and said, "Ji Wangu brought his men into Yuanshi Ancient City."

"The situation at the time…"

Wang Fan choked up at this point, unable to continue.

A tear rolled down his right eye, tracing a path across the face scarred with wounds.

He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and his body was still shaking.

It's hard to imagine what could cause such a powerful being, who has lived for so long, to show such intense emotions... What kind of pain must it have left him with!

But Fang Yu... could understand this emotion.

When he first emerged from the mountain prison and returned to Heaven's Path Sect, he saw a scene of utter devastation – ruins and burning violet flames. The suffocating feeling, the anger, the pain, all those emotions that surged through him at that moment, he still remembers them vividly to this day.

“During the Battle of Heaven's Path Mountain, we suffered such severe injuries that we were utterly incapable of fighting the gods at the time... We were humiliated and slaughtered by those gods,” Wang Fan said in a hoarse voice. “Senior Brother Quanlong and the others all sustained fatal wounds in the Battle of Heaven's Path Mountain. My injuries were comparatively light, so they thought I still had hope… So, Senior Brother Quanlong and the others sacrificed their lives to pave the way for me, allowing me to survive…”

Wang Fan choked back tears as he spoke, his right eye red and swollen.

"Yuanshi Ancient City was destroyed… at that time" Fang Yu asked in a deep voice.

“After I escaped, the Divine Race was still searching for me everywhere. I could only do everything I could to hide and avoid their search,” Wang Fan said, “I also thought about going back and fighting the Divine Race and Ji Wangu… But when I remembered how the Supreme One sent us away in the end and faced Ji Wangu alone, leaving a lonely figure behind, and when I remembered Senior Brother Long’s last smile at me… I made up my mind that I would never die!”

"No matter how difficult the circumstances, I must keep living! My life... has long since ceased to belong to me."

Wang Fan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

Fang Yu stood quietly to the side, saying nothing.

But his emotions had been infected by Wang Fan.

He had witnessed the carnage of the Tian Dao Mountain battle firsthand... and could also imagine the scene when the Yuanshi Ancient City was breached.l." Fang Yu spoke calmly. "And the pain you felt just now was caused by me tearing at your soul using that imprint."To put it plainly, your life and death are in my hands.Upon hearing this, Violet's h...
