At this moment.
Inside the mountain that housed the Miao Clan's prison, in one dimly lit cell.
"Xiao Fei, it's mother who failed you…"
Miao Ziqiong, her hair disheveled, her face filled with sorrow, muttered to herself.
Right now, her tears fell like rain, her heart utterly broken!
Just then.
Suddenly.
A black-robed old man appeared in the cell.
"It's you!
What are you doing here!
Haven't you people harmed me and my daughter enough!"
As soon as Miao Ziqiong saw this black-robed old man, she roared angrily.
This black-robed old man was a close confidant of the Second Young Master of the Pang Clan!
"Don't get so worked up. My Second Young Master sent me to deliver an invitation to you.
The day after tomorrow is the wedding day between my Second Young Master and your daughter.
Oh, by the way, my young master told me to show some respect to you because, from now on, you'll be my Second Young Master's mother-in-law."
The black-robed old man took out a large red invitation and sneered.
"You beasts!
Xiao Fei is just a child!
Why are you doing this to her!"
Miao Ziqiong screamed.
Then.
*Puu Puu…*
Driven by fury, Miao Ziqiong spat out several mouthfuls of blood, her face instantly turning as pale as paper.
"Haha…
Hold on to this invitation.
Of course, you won't have the chance to attend my Second Young Master's wedding.
Consider this invitation a memento.
After all, from this day forward, you'll never have the chance to step half a foot out of this cell.
Haha…"
The black-robed old man laughed wildly and triumphantly.
He had come here on the orders of the Second Young Master of the Pang Clan to thoroughly humiliate Miao Ziqiong!
Just then.
*Hong Hong…*
The entire cell began to shake and sway, as if a massive earthquake had occurred.
"What's going on?"
The black-robed old man was somewhat puzzled.
There was a Formations sealing the prison from outside, so he couldn't sense the situation beyond for the moment.
However, this was a heavily guarded, vital area within the Miao Clan headquarters. He didn't think anything major could happen here.
Therefore, he wasn't in a hurry to go out and investigate.
He believed if any major event occurred, the upper echelons of the Miao Clan would handle it; there was no need for him to intervene.
"Oh yes, Miao Ziqiong, my Second Young Master asked me to ask you once more: Do you regret your actions back then?
Do you regret not choosing to become my Second Young Master's woman?"
The black-robed old man asked.
"You go back and tell your Second Young Master that I do not regret it!
I will never regret it!
If time could be rewound, I would still make the same choice!"
Miao Ziqiong stared at the black-robed old man, enunciating each word clearly.
"You bitch…"
The black-robed old man's face darkened.
Just then.
*Hong Hong…*
The cell shook even more violently. The walls and ceiling began to crack, large amounts of mud and stone raining down noisily amid rolling clouds of dust.
"What's happening?"
Only now did the black-robed old man realize something was seriously wrong.
Outside.
Under the continuous pummeling of the giant's fists, half of the mountain peak had been brutally smashed apart. The prison cells inside were almost completely exposed.
Rows upon rows of cells were visible, stacked like building blocks from top to bottom, resembling a large beehive.
"That cell!"
The giant's gaze locked onto a particular cell.
Because ten blood-red talisman characters were attached to that cell, shining brightly, easy to spot.
"Halt!"
At this moment, numerous figures exuding fierce auras rapidly approached.
The upper echelons of the Miao Clan had begun to arrive!
"Who are you!
Why are you destroying our Miao Clan's prison!"
One expert after another surrounded the area from all directions, releasing vast waves of energy pressure that filled this stretch of heaven and earth.
In the distance, many more experts emitting terrifying energy auras were continuously streaming in.
"Scram if you don't want to die!"
Just then, a massive arm as thick as a Flood Dragon suddenly appeared.
This giant arm swung its palm, sweeping out horizontally like an autumn wind scattering fallen leaves.
*Puu Puu…*
The dozens of people charging at the forefront were struck by the arm's palm and exploded one after another, like over a dozen smashed watermelons, perishing on the spot.
"A giant arm!"
"It's that thing!
The giant arm that destroyed dozens of our Miao Clan's branch strongholds—it's actually attacked our Miao Clan headquarters!"
…
In the distance, the approaching Miao Clan higher-ups saw the giant arm and were both shocked and furious to the extreme, howling angrily.
"Quick!
Report to the clan chief! That giant arm has come to our Miao Clan headquarters!"
One of the high-ranking Miao clan members bellowed.
"Father, let's go and receive Mother and Little Sister."
At this moment, the seventy-zhang-tall giant rapidly shrank, transforming back into Ye Yunfei's original appearance. He appeared beside Ye Tianpeng and spoke.
Ignoring the approaching Miao Clan elites in the distance, Ye Yunfei grabbed Ye Tianpeng's hand, activated the Heavenly Shadow Robe, and in a flash, instantly arrived outside the cell holding Miao Ziqiong.
He threw a fist at the cell door.
Inside the cell, the black-robed old man, now aware that a major incident was occurring outside, turned to leave.
"Miao Ziqiong, you bitch, whether you regret it or not, you will pay a tremendous price for your actions!
This is the consequence of provoking our Pang Clan's Second Young Master!"
Before leaving, the black-robed old man delivered his parting remark.
Just then.
*Hong…*
A thunderous explosion. The cell door blasted apart, turning into a sky full of powder.
Then, under the black-robed old man's astonished gaze, a young man and a middle-aged man walked in, one after the other.
"You dare call my mother a bitch?
You are from the Second Young Master of the Pang Clan?"
The young man's eyes, brimming with terrifying killing intent, locked onto the black-robed old man as he slowly asked.
"Mother?
You…"
At this moment, Miao Ziqiong's gaze also turned towards them. Her eyes fell on the young man walking in front—Ye Yunfei—and she froze on the spot.
This young man gave her an innate sense of closeness!
He seemed like someone very, very close to her, a kinsman, even—someone connected by blood!
"Zi Qiong, Fei'er said he's come to take you and our daughter back."
At this moment, Ye Tianpeng stepped out from behind Ye Yunfei. His gaze fixed tightly on Miao Ziqiong, unable to look away a single bit, and he spoke softly.
At this moment, Ye Tianpeng's gaze was so tender it seemed as if he were in the midst of his first love.
"Ah!
You…"
Suddenly seeing the husband she had thought of day and night, every moment of every year, Miao Ziqiong couldn't help but cry out. She covered her mouth with her hand, staring at Ye Tianpeng with incredulous eyes.
For a moment, the two looked at each other, neither daring to believe it was real. It felt like a dream.
A beautiful dream!
Therefore, neither dared move recklessly, fearing that if they made a single move, the dream would end, and this beautiful scene before them would vanish.
"So, you're the adulterer Miao Ziqiong ran off with!
How did you get here?"
Seeing this scene, the black-robed old man immediately guessed Ye Tianpeng's identity, his pupils involuntarily contracting.
*Shiu!*
Ye Yunfei took a single step, arriving in front of the old man.
"My father and mother are reuniting. How dare an old dog like you disturb them?"
Ye Yunfei stared at the black-robed old man, his eyes filled with killing intent, his voice bone-chilling as if rising from the Ninth Nether Hell.
