Chapter 3483 - Utterly Speechless

Suishen Jiguang was greatly shocked when her sister-in-law displayed her combat power. "Sister-in-law, you're also at the major zenith?" Her mind went blank and the world seemed to come to a halt.

She was in the Yin-Yang World for a hundred years, perhaps she also gained a great fortune....

It was the only explanation. But she wasn’t overly shocked, as she had unexpectedly achieved the major zenith herself.

The real shock was reserved for the old patriarch and Suishen Ranxing.

"Impossible!" Suishen Ranxing climbed back up to the Myriadpath Celestial Formation, staring dumbfounded at the woman shrouded in murderous intent and blazing with red flames.

One slap had explained everything. It had caved in half of his face and shattered his skull. He stared at Suishen Xiyue, the word "impossible" leaving his lips again and again, almost as a roar.

The old patriarch stood frozen in place, even more shocked than his son.

After slapping her no-good husband away, Suishen Xiyue glanced back at the old patriarch with a mocking smile and said, "Congratulations, House Suishen now has five major-zenith cultivators. It must be a historical record. And it even seems four were nurtured by you. Don’t you feel a sense of pride and accomplishment?"

The old patriarch was left speechless.

After saying that, her gaze grew colder and she sneered, "The unfortunate part is, the new ones are replacing two old ones!"

She turned and locked her gaze on Suishen Ranxing. A hundred years of hatred had left no lingering love between husband and wife and her eyes were filled with nothing but hatred and killing intent.

She was ready for revenge now. Her totems were redlotus flaregods, like Suishen Zhao’s. However, hers were female and manifested as fiery female demon gods that filled the Myriadpath Celestial Formation with a blazing apocalypse.

"Suishen Xiyue!" Eminent Ranxing gritted his teeth and growled. Even at that moment, he still couldn't accept that the two women in front of him had reached the same realm as him. One of them was now even intent on killing him.

Moreover, his sister didn't seem idle either. She had developed murderous intent toward Suishen Hongtian, and now she saw no reason not to include her other brother in her plans. She had made her stance clear.

The house was unlikely to head in a positive direction with those two brothers still in control, especially as their father weakened. Now that she had reached the major zenith, it was time to step up and take responsibility. She had made up her mind that even if she couldn't help kill Eminent Ranxing, she would at least force him to relinquish control of House Suishen.

The two women’s fury had made their major zenith aura overwhelmingly powerful!

Suishen Ranxing's expression drastically changed. At the critical moment, he furrowed his brows and roared, "Dad!" He wasn’t confident he could escape unscathed if he were besieged by the two women, but knew his father would come out to clean up after him once again.

Or, to put it bluntly, to wipe his ass.

Sure enough, the old patriarch’s figure immediately appeared in front of him.

Suishen Xiyue merely sneered. She wasn't afraid of engaging in a life-and-death battle with them. However, what she never expected was for the old patriarch to suddenly drop to his knees before her!

He was House Suishen’s esteemed elder, the previous leader, a man who had once ruled with absolute power. His kneeling left not only Suishen Xiyue, but also Suishen Jiguang, utterly stunned.

"Girl! We were wrong. My entire family has wronged you!" the old patriarch cried out with flowing tears.

Suishen Xiyue wanted revenge, but there was no way she could kill an old man kneeling in front of her. "What’re you doing? Playing the pity card now? Old fool, this is a trick your son already used to death. It’s laughable, don’t you think?" she sneered.

"Suishen Ranxing!" The old patriarch didn’t respond to her, instead angrily shouting as he pulled Ranxing forward, forcing him to kneel alongside him.

"What’re you doing?" Suishen Ranxing, still seething with rage, protested.

The old patriarch forced him down to his knees.

Suishen Xiyue doubled over in laughter. "What kind of play are you two putting on? You think you can be this shameless since no one’s watching?"

"Suishen Xiyue, don't go too far!" Suishen Ranxing was about to rise, but the old patriarch angrily told him to shut up.

"Suishen Xiyue!" The old patriarch sighed deeply, then continued, "For the sake of my friendship with your parents, please hear me out."

"Friends? You dare call yourself that?" Suishen Xiyue raised an eyebrow, mocking him. She truly hadn’t expected the father and son to kneel before her.

But that was the power of strength. If she had returned as a mere minor-zenith cultivator, she would have already been dead. Forcing her enemies to submit and kneel was a different kind of satisfaction.

The old patriarch grit his teeth and continued, "My son made a terrible mistake a hundred years ago. I only uncovered the truth by piecing together the clues. But by then, Hongtian was already in the Midsky Well, and even though I was furious with him for his reckless behavior, the damage was done. I couldn't let both sons of House Suishen become laughingstocks! So I didn’t punish him. But deep down, I’ve always felt guilty toward you!"

"So your guilt drove you to let him try and kill me again?" Suishen Xiyue could only say that their shamelessness was unbelievable.

The old patriarch shook his head. "House Suishen can’t afford any disruptions now. Your husband is stubborn, and I had no choice. Sigh...."

"Then stop talking and stand up. It isn’t polite for me to hit an elder while they’re kneeling." Suishen Xiyue sneered.

The old patriarch didn’t rise, but began explaining the current state of affairs in Myriadpath Valley, clearly detailing everything. Afterward, he looked up at Suishen Xiyue and said, "House Qitian obtained all the legacies of the Yin-Yang World. Their strength is destined to explode in the future, and they’ll prosper for a millennium with the valley lord supporting them! Even though they violated ancestral teachings and the Myriadpath Sacred Code by killing the senior madame of House Yumo, they’ll continue dominating the valley.

"And now that the other two houses are at odds, House Suishen will inevitably be drawn into the vortex. The fate of all our people, the future of our million-year legacy, is hanging on a thread. The life or death of our house hinges on this moment! In such times, your husband is vital to the house. I beg you, for the sake of our house's future, spare his life!”

"No worries. If he dies, Jiguang can secure the future of House Suishen. We don’t need him at all!" Suishen Xiyue replied.

"Given the current situation, the more people we have, the better chance House Suishen has of securing a favorable outcome."

The old patriarch took a deep breath, looking at his son, then back at Suishen Xiyue. "If he’s willing to admit his mistakes and kowtow to you, could you forgive him and reconcile with him for the sake of your children?

"Together, as a united couple, you could alter the fate of House Suishen. You’d be celebrated as heroes of the house, praised for generations to come...!"
