Gu Ruoyun quickened her pace at the thought of this and soon came face to face with the heroic facade of the Imperial Palace.

She could already smell the stench of blood from a distance. The putrid smell caused her to worry even more and she quickly pushed the Imperial Palace's great doors open.

"Father, Mother!"

There was an unusual atmosphere in the silent Imperial Palace as Gu Ruoyun rushed in while crying out anxiously.

"The formation has been broken? That's impossible! No one could break this formation from the outside unless they were at the Full Circle State. Could it be that Cang Ming has broken through to the Full Circle State?"

Her panic increased the more she thought about this and she quickly scrambled towards the bedchamber in the rear courtyard...

However, she suddenly stopped when she was halfway there and her body trembled gently.

Up ahead, the bodies of Grand Lord Hong Lian and Dongfang Yu were lying in a pool of blood. They were holding each other's hands tightly and did not separate even in death!

This scene was the last straw for Gu Ruoyun and thoroughly crumbled her resolve into pieces!

"Father, Mother!"

She ran madly towards Grand Lord Hong Lian and Dongfang Yu. Her hoarse voice was heartbroken and close to despair!

"Father, Mother! You had promised to wait for my return here. I'm back now so why aren't you looking at me?"

"I had wanted to wait for everything to be finished to bring you all back to the Dongfang family home. There are people there waiting for us still."

"In my past life, my mother had been killed by my biological father and my younger brother had also died by his hand! I've received your love in this lifetime, how can you bear to leave me like this?"

In this lifetime, she had expended a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to find her parents but they had left her before they could all enjoy being a family together!

How could she bear this shock?

"Oh, right! Xun'er, there's still Xiao Xun'er!"

Gu Ruoyun seemed to remember something and quickly ran towards the bedchamber...

She was staggering and even her hand which pushed the bedchamber's door open was trembling!

Xiao Xun'er had still been asleep when she had left the Cloudy Wind Empire's Imperial Palace the final battle with Cang Ming.

She had intended to wait for Xiao Xun'er to wake up so that he could see her victorious return. Who would have thought that she had lost in the end! Not only has she lost, she has even endured such a tragic result!

Thump!

Finally, she pushed the door open and lifted her legs shakily to step into the room...

The little toddler was lying silently with his eyes closed on an exquisite wooden bed and looked just as she had left him.

However, his little face was now pale-looking and a long sword had been pierced through his chest. Blood had soaked through the sheets but he looked so serene as if he had fallen into an eternal sleep before he could awaken...

"Xun'er, mother has returned."

Gu Ruoyun walked sheepishly towards Xiao Xun'er. She then lifted her hand to gently pull the little one into her arms. She stroked his tiny, pale-white face with her hand as her eyes filled with tenderness.

"Mother has always neglected you all these years so I could raise my own abilities to defeat Cang Ming. However, I felt that I had not properly spent time with you because of that. Don't worry, from now on, Mother will never leave you now. I will stay by your side, aways."
