"Yes."
Bai Zihe said placidly.
Lu Wushuang's eyes twitched fiercely, then he asked, "Then tell me, besides fierce beasts, what else is in the Path of Life and Death?"
Bai Zihe knew he didn't believe him, so he truthfully said, "There is an ancient tomb."
This time.
Lu Wushuang was indeed shocked.
They had entered the ancient tomb themselves back then.
However, they had fled in haste not long after entering and returned defeated. https:/
"Since that's the case..."
Lu Wushuang took a deep breath, walked into the thatched hut, and said, "You really came out of the Path of Life and Death, then come in, all of you."
"Ask whatever you want to know."
Bai Zihe and Qian Yuanshan walked in.
What Bai Zihe wanted to know most was about the great families.
Because this family was very likely his mother's family!
So he directly asked, "Elder Lu, I want to know... what kind of existence was the ancient family in the place of the War Department back then, and what exactly happened."
The thatched hut fell silent.
A look of vicissitudes and reminiscence flashed in Lu Wushuang's eyes, and neither Bai Zihe nor Qian Yuanshan spoke.
After a long while.
Just as Qian Yuanshan was about to lose patience.
Lu Wushuang slowly began to speak.
"Legend has it that in this world, there is a power that exists in the void."
"If one can obtain it..."
"One can possess truly boundless power, easily break through the shackles of life and death, and even become a terrestrial immortal who controls destiny."
As Lu Wushuang said this, his pupils contracted, and his heart was unsettled.
Qian Yuanshan's eyes twitched fiercely.
Bai Zihe's heart also stirred.
"And according to legend..."
"This power exists in the Path of Life and Death."
"Life and death... life and death, if you can unlock the secret of the Path of Life and Death, you can find this power!"
This was undoubtedly another piece of explosive news.
Bai Zihe's thoughts deepened.
Lu Wushuang continued, "And that family was an ancient family from primordial times."
"They have been passed down for thousands of years, guarding the Path of Life and Death generation after generation, and guarding this secret, keeping it unknown to outsiders."
"But this family... is very strange."
Lu Wushuang frowned and said, "The most important person in the family is not a man, but a Saintess. She is the last line of defense for the Path of Life and Death!"
As soon as these words came out, Bai Zihe became absolutely certain.
"And so."
"The secret had persisted for thousands of years, even longer."
"However..."
Speaking of this, a strange light flashed in Lu Wushuang's cloudy eyes: "In this world, where can a secret be kept forever?"
"This news still got out."
"Therefore, this ancient family also met with disaster, destroyed overnight, and became what it is now."
At this point, Lu Wushuang sighed endlessly.
Bai Zihe took a deep breath and asked with intense focus, "Elder Lu, when that family had its accident, what was the whereabouts of the Saintess?"
Neither of them noticed the strangeness in Bai Zihe's voice.
"The Saintess..."
Lu Wushuang said with certainty, "She fortunately survived and fled to the Miao region."
"As for now... I don't know."
Bai Zihe was completely certain.
The Saintess Lu Wushuang spoke of was his mother.
"Later..."
Lu Wushuang, unaware of Bai Zihe's thoughts, continued, "Upon receiving the news, we, coveting the treasures within the great family's Path of Life and Death, joined forces and decided to investigate."
"At that time..."
"Almost all the Martial Dao Grandmasters and Martial Dao Great Grandmasters of Great Xia were present."
"We thought it would be a casual treasure hunt, but we never expected..."
A hint of self-mockery flashed across Lu Wushuang's face.
"Before we could delve deep, we were severely wounded by a mysterious power."
"In the face of that powerful force..."
"Martial Dao Grandmasters were nothing, dying on the spot, almost none could survive!"
"Martial Dao Great Grandmasters could barely resist twice, but they were instantly severely wounded and fled in panic one by one."
"Those who managed to escape..."
"Were all heavily injured, and immediately went into seclusion upon their return."
"Some of those who were less fortunate died within a few days."
"Those who were luckier... lingered on, and survived."
"This is also why, later, it was widely rumored in the outside world that Great Xia had no Grandmasters."
There was a hint of reverence in Lu Wushuang's tone.
Reverence for that powerful force.
Bai Zihe nodded slightly.
The Grandmasters he spoke of likely did not enter the cave.
"Elder Bai..."
Lu Wushuang suddenly looked at Bai Zihe, his face showing some inquiry: "I am very curious, how far did you reach?"
"What secrets lie within the Path of Life and Death?"
