Moments later, Sun Zhe's figure appeared within the City Lord's Mansion.
After a midnight battle, it was now approaching dawn, and a faint haze had begun to appear in the distance. In this haze, Sun Zhe stood quietly in the courtyard of the mansion. Not long after, the strong Killing Intent surrounding him had yet to dissipate completely, still enveloping his body. As the Autumn Wind blew, his white robe gently lifted, creating an illusion that he merged with the gray Killing Intent, giving off an indescribable aura.
In the silent environment, Jingjing seemed to be affected as well; unusually, it did not make a sound but quietly perched on Sun Zhe's shoulder. Its two gem-like Big Eyes curiously observed everything in the mansion. For it, having lived in the mountains and forests, everything before its eyes was so novel.
Sun Zhe's gaze was calm as he looked ahead; he was waiting for someone.
“Tap Tap Tap Tap... Tap Tap Tap Tap...”
After a moment, a heavy sound of footsteps echoed, and a figure slowly emerged from the darkness. Dressed in a luxurious purple robe and wearing expensive rubber boots, with hands clasped behind his back, although his face was not yet visible, his tall stature gave an impression of great solidity, like an imposing mountain.
The footsteps stopped three zhang away from Sun Zhe. At this moment, aided by the dim moonlight, his features became somewhat discernible. He had a rugged beard covering his face and thick eyebrows; combined with his prominent nose, he exuded a sense of boldness. However, at this moment, his dark eyes revealed a complex expression.
The two stood facing each other for a long time, their gazes locked as if they had known each other for ages.
“Should I call you Uncle Pang... or should I call you Pang City Lord?” After a while, Sun Zhe finally spoke slowly, but his words carried an unmistakable tone of sarcasm. This middle-aged man was none other than the one who replaced the Sun Family and became the current Lord of Twin Lion City.
With a heavy sigh, a hint of helplessness flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes as he slowly replied,
“Zhe Er, why must it be like this... The Sun and Pang families have always been closely connected. Your father and I are sworn brothers. I Pang Jie will always be your Uncle Pang. As for what happened back then, can’t you understand your uncle’s difficulties?”
“Enough!” Sun Zhe's gaze suddenly turned cold as he shouted sharply,
“You don’t need to say these things to me now. I only know that when my Sun Family suffered the massacre, your Pang Family remained sealed off and did not help at all. Even those we sent for help were driven out by you. This is your so-called close connection; this is your sworn brotherhood... Ha! Do you still think of me as that ignorant child from back then?”
Thinking of this, Sun Zhe's eyes suddenly flashed with piercing coldness. Over a thousand members of the Sun Residence lost their lives overnight; elders and relatives were brutally killed one by one. Such deep-seated hatred was unbearable for anyone.
“Alright then, I don’t want to bring up what happened back then either. It’s just that your uncle truly had no choice; otherwise, even if I had to die alongside your father in battle, I Pang Jie would not have flinched... However, no matter how many reasons I have, this matter is indeed my fault towards your father and your Sun Family. The old residence of your Sun Family has been preserved because I feel guilty towards you all these years; I have been repenting.”
"During that tragic incident, you and your Sun Family old butler disappeared together. I am aware of this, which is why I have been searching for your whereabouts all these years, but I have had no news... I never expected you to suddenly appear in Twin Lion City today, nor did I anticipate that your cultivation would advance to such a level. If your father knew from the underworld, he would surely be delighted."
Like the former Sun Family, the Pang Family is also a very famous family in Great Yuan Province. As the current head of the Pang Family and its leading figure, Pang Jie is a well-known person in the vast Great Yuan Province.
Looking at the proud and formidable young man before him, even someone as discerning as Pang Jie couldn't help but show a hint of admiration. He never expected that the unremarkable young master of the Sun Family from back then would grow into today's young talent, slaying twelve Thunder Sovereign Level cultivators with his cultivation of Three-Star Thunder Sovereign, and even causing the death of a Thunder Lord Stage expert. Although he had the assistance of that miraculous bird, Sun Zhe's achievements are still astonishing; if this were to spread, his name would surely become widely known.
"I didn't come here to argue about who was right or wrong back then; I just want to ask you one question." After hearing Pang Jie's explanation, Sun Zhe's tone softened slightly. Looking at the familiar middle-aged man before him, he slowly spoke.
"Are you asking me about the true culprit who destroyed the entire Sun Family back then?" Pang Jie, being as astute as he is, guessed Sun Zhe's intention as soon as he spoke.
Sun Zhe did not deny it; he simply looked quietly at Pang Jie, his meaning clear.
"I don't know either. The strength of those people was too great, and their identities too mysterious. I've been investigating for so long without any leads... However, based on my speculation, the Sun Family is one of the few prominent families in Great Yuan Province, while the Great Yuan Sect oversees the entire province. The Great Yuan Sect must know what happened; it's just that my status isn't sufficient to inquire with them." Pang Jie did not hold back and shared everything he knew with Sun Zhe.
"Great Yuan Sect..."
Sun Zhe's gaze flickered slightly as he softly uttered a number before turning to walk out of the residence.
"Wait a moment." Pang Jie immediately called out again.
"I won't stay here." Sun Zhe did not turn around and calmly refused.
"I understand your intention; I won't force you to stay. I just want to ask if that beast on your shoulder is your spirit beast?" Pang Jie pointed with his right hand towards Jingjing.
"You know its origins?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Zhe immediately turned around, a hint of surprise appearing on his face. Jingjing's origins are extremely mysterious; although it is not very old, its potential is exceptionally high and can even be described as extraordinary. Sun Zhe had once asked Jingjing about its origins, but it was just as confused and had no idea where it came from. It seemed to have opened its eyes in the Wasteland of Demons, where it had lived all these years until it met Sun Zhe, who brought it out.
Regarding Jingjing's background, Sun Zhe had always been concerned, not just out of curiosity. Jingjing had saved his life in the Wasteland of Demons, and during their time living together, he had come to see this creature as his own brother. Sun Zhe had always spared no effort when it came to his friends and family.
"No, I don't know." To Sun Zhe's disappointment, Pang Jie gently shook his head.
"But I once read a little introduction in an ancient book. Unfortunately, that introduction was incomplete, and I'm not sure if it was referring to the bird on your shoulder. If it is indeed that one, it is definitely an Inverse Beast that is no less than a dragon. Therefore, I advise you to sign a Fated Contract with it; otherwise, once it truly grows up, given the pride of its kind, you won't have any chance at all..."
"Chirp... Chirp..."
Seemingly understanding Pang Jie's words, the creature immediately soared into the air, flapping its wings vigorously. Brilliant flashes of Divine Radiance appeared and rushed directly towards Pang Jie.
With a wave of his right hand, those Purple Divine Radiance instantly vanished. However, the power of the Divine Radiance still caught Pang Jie's attention. He spoke again,
"Divine Ability... Even if it is not that Inverse Beast comparable to dragons, it is definitely a rare treasure with unique qualities. Zhe Er, listen to your uncle; do not regret this later."
Upon hearing Pang Jie's words, Sun Zhe not only felt no inclination but instead grew increasingly cold in demeanor. He turned and hurried out of the residence, while Jingjing seemed to realize she could do nothing about Pang Jie. She shot him a resentful glare before following Sun Zhe.
"It is my friend Sun Zhe... Also, don't call me Zhe Er anymore; you are no longer my uncle..." As Sun Zhe left, his cold voice echoed in the square. Pang Jie was momentarily stunned and then revealed a rare look of bitterness.
