Zi Susu’s face was pale. She shuddered in fear while kneeling. It was apparent that she was terrified of the Sect Master.

“Sect Master, Ye Suyi is aware of my secrets…” She did not dare to hide anything, so she honestly told him what she had been worried about over this past few days.

To vent her anger, she sold Ye Suyi to Waterfront Chamber. Much to her surprise, Ye Suyi accidentally acquired a chance to stay by the mysterious white-clothed man’s side.

How was she supposed to get Ye Suyi back now?

Over the years, Ye Suyi had been her guinea pig for practising the Entanglement Demonic Arts. To make Ye Suyi terrified of her, she even told her some information about the Entanglement Demonic Arts.

This led to the outcome that Ye Suyi was aware of her biggest secret.

Zi Susu was hesitant to tell the truth at first. The Sect Master of Purple Sky Mountain snapped. “Do you think I’ll harm you?”

He never expected that Zi Susu had done such things when he was not paying attention to her. He appeared furious, feeling that this young woman had disappointed him.

Zi Susu became even more fearful. She would not even dare to raise her head while shuddering.

The Sect Master of Purple Sky Mountain snorted. “I gave you this Forbidden Technique because it was suitable for you. I could see my past self in you, which was why I even showed up and taught you the technique. I didn’t expect you to be so foolish! You’re even worried that I, your Sect Master and Ancestor will harm a Junior like you!”

“I’m sorry for disappointing you, Sect Master.” Zi Susu hurriedly apologised to him. Her face was livid as she was terrified.

The Sect Master of Purple Sky Mountain waved his hand. “This matter is neither big nor small. If Ye Suyi reveals anything about the Forbidden Technique, you know what to do by then.”

“I understand.” Zi Susu quickly nodded. Naturally, she would not dare to tell anyone that the Sect Master had told her to practise the Forbidden Technique.

If this matter was exposed, she had to come up with an excuse and take all the blame before ending her life.

The Sect Master of Purple Sky Mountain dipped his head upon hearing that. Without saying anything else, he waved his hand and told Zi Susu to leave.

“She’s clever enough to use others as guinea pigs first. But, it’s a path that leads to a dead end that I’d walked down in the past. How are you supposed to find a way out by walking down the same path? If it’s so easy to dispel the threat of the Entanglement Demonic Arts, I wouldn’t have to rack my brain to come up with all sorts of ways.” He looked out of the palace as his gaze darkened.

Many people at Purple Sky Mountain were not aware that it was mainly thanks to Entanglement Demonic Arts that the Sect Master of Purple Sky Mountain became who he was.

He even decided to snatch Chu Gucheng’s Energy of Creation and Dao Fruit because he was worried his Dao Fruit and cultivation would be lost to the Entanglement Demonic Arts. That was because the Entanglement Demonic Arts would consume his future. Only by continuously replenishing his lost Energy of Creation could he fill up the pit left behind by his past actions. Otherwise, he would one day suffer the same fate as Zi Susu’s guinea pigs. He would suddenly fall into danger and die.

This was something he could never tolerate.

He had intended to nurture Zi Susu so that she would go through the same process as he did. That way, he could observe her progress and try to come up with a solution.

Naturally, it was also because when Zi Susu’s Dao Fruit ripened in the future, he could harvest it when he needed it.

The existence of the Entanglement Demonic Arts was like a nightmare they could not get rid of. It had been passed down over the generations within the Zi Family, and he was the current one.

In the beginning, Purple Sky Mountain was founded by the Zi Family. The other Families and Forces joined at a later time. Still, the Zi Family still ruled over the Sect.

The Entanglement Demonic Arts was the most important technique of the Zi Family. It was not acquired from any Secret Domain or ruins. It had been passed down over the generations. It was not until the generation of the Sect Master of Purple Sky Mountain’s Father that it was listed as a Forbidden Technique, and all Zi Family members were not allowed to practise it.

Zi Family members who had practised the Entanglement Demonic Arts in the past all died a horrible death. No one lived until old age.

Even the current Sect Master of Purple Sky Mountain had hidden the fact that he had been secretly practising this technique from his Father and the others. That was how he attained such achievements.

In his opinion, the Zi Family succeeded only because of the Entanglement Demonic Arts, but they were also trapped by this technique.

It was said that the person who created the Entanglement Demonic Arts intended to use it to enslave everyone. Strictly speaking, the Zi Family was one of the enslaved Families.

As for how the Entanglement Demonic Arts was given to the Zi Family, the Sect Master of Purple Sky Mountain had no idea. He had heard that it had something to do with the Five Rivers of Heaven.

The River of Fortuity was illusory. It ran through everything in the world, and no one knew where the source was.

The River of Destiny was as massive as an ocean. It was mysterious and had been around for a long time. Even Last Stage experts could not control it.

The fact that Entanglement Demonic Arts even reached the Zi Family had something to do with one of the Five Rivers of Heaven, which was the River of Destruction.
