Song Luoyi was, of course, none other than Chu Feng's grandmother.
However, after learning of the situation, Lady Yuwei considered the reputation of Chu Feng's grandmother and did not agree to a ten-month pregnancy. Instead, she wished to bring the child into the world through some other method.
Ten months of pregnancy was the most primitive approach — not only would it result in a visible belly, but it also required conserving one's energy and nurturing one's body.
For Chu Feng's grandmother at the time, it was not a matter of whether it was difficult or not, but rather something that should not be done.
Yet Chu Feng's grandmother insisted on doing it this way, and Lady Yuwei had no choice in the matter. However, this had to be kept secret from the Sect Master of the Golden Dragon Flame Sect.
That meant they could not remain within the Golden Dragon Flame Sect.
So Chu Feng's grandmother used the excuse of going out to train, and left the Golden Dragon Flame Sect with Lady Yuwei.
And with such meticulous preparation by Chu Feng's grandmother, his father, Chu Xuanyuan, was naturally born without incident.
"But after the young master was born…"
At these words, Lady Yuwei's expression turned to one of anguish, even tinged with fear. Clearly, what came after was not only vivid in her memory but deeply terrifying.
"What happened after?"
Chu Feng knew that what followed was very likely related to the aura of blood that saturated his father.
"Back then, the young miss made her name in a single battle at a grand gathering."
"But she was also regarded as a threat by the overlord forces of the star field."
"So they hired a famous assassination organization from the Totem Galaxy to hunt her down."
"As it happened, the assassination organization found the young miss shortly after she had given birth to the young master, at a time when her body was at its weakest."
"But fortunately, she still won that battle."
"Not long after, however, the overlord forces of the star field did something even more despicable — they launched a punitive campaign against the Golden Dragon Flame Sect on fabricated charges."
"They not only captured the Sect Master but subjected him to public torture, trying to force the young miss to reveal herself."
"The young miss knew this trip would likely end in catastrophe, but the Sect Master was her father after all, and she could not simply stand by and watch him die. So she instructed me to bring the young master back to the Chu Heavenly Clan, while she herself returned to the Golden Dragon Flame Sect."
"After I delivered the young master back to the Chu Heavenly Clan, I intended to go back and find the young miss, but who could have guessed that on the way, I encountered the opening of the Darknight Divine River."
"At the time, the Darknight Divine River gave me the feeling that if I jumped in, there would be an opportunity."
"I knew my cultivation was limited, and going back wouldn't help the young miss much, but this opportunity might be my chance, so I entered."
"But who could have known that this was a path of no return."
At these words, Lady Yuwei's face was filled with shame.
She was ashamed because, driven by a moment of greed, she had entered this place and failed to see Chu Feng's grandmother one last time.
"Elder, my grandmother should still be alive."
Chu Feng said.
"The young miss is still alive?"
"Young master, how do you know?"
"Did you hear something?"
"Could you tell this old servant?"
In the grief-stricken eyes of Lady Yuwei, a flash of wild joy suddenly appeared.
It was the excitement and elation of seeing a ray of light in the darkness.
"Elder, take a look — is this my grandmother?"
As Chu Feng spoke, he produced a portrait from inside his robe.
The person in the portrait was none other than the mysterious old woman Chu Feng had previously encountered.
The old woman's face had been burned by fire, to the point where it was virtually unrecognizable. Under normal circumstances, it would be nearly impossible to tell who she was.
Yet the moment Lady Yuwei laid eyes on the portrait, her emotions became wildly agitated, and her eyes were instantly covered in tears.
"Young miss… what on earth did you go through?"
With a thud, she fell to her knees. Even though the person in the painting was disfigured and had aged into an elderly woman, Lady Yuwei still recognized her through those fragmented features as her young miss — Song Luoyi.
Seeing this, Chu Feng felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Although he had already suspected it, the moment it was confirmed, he could not help but recall the wretched appearance of that old woman.
She truly was his grandmother.
And his grandmother must have gone through something absolutely horrific to have ended up the way she was today.
"Elder, tell me."
"The organization that assassinated my grandmother — what is it called?"
"The force that persecuted the Golden Dragon Flame Sect — what is it called?"
Chu Feng asked in quick succession, for he knew that these two forces were undoubtedly the ones responsible for harming his grandmother.
"That organization is called Immortal Slaughter."
"The force that persecuted our Golden Dragon Flame Sect is called the Situ World Spirit Gate."
