While Zhang Menglong was still promoting the Sun Heaven Sect with other martial artists, Han Xingye was already staring fiercely at that Elder Hu with eyes full of killing intent.

That Elder Hu felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, never imagining that one day, he would fall into the hands of this sister and brother. Not eliminating the root back then was undoubtedly the biggest mistake of his life.

He originally thought that this matter had passed, and to him, it seemed like a very ordinary thing, not worthy of keeping in mind. If it hadn't been brought up again, he wouldn't even remember it.

However, retribution comes quickly, like a tornado.

He had long cursed that bastard Hong Wei in his heart. If it wasn't for him, the troublemaker, there wouldn't have been any reason to encounter this pair of siblings at Cang Lan Sword Sect.

Even now, he had never repented for what he did in the past, only blaming his own mercy and the faults of others in his heart.

"Sister!" Han Xingyu drew a sword, which was once the sword of their father. Today, they would end this blood vendetta with it.

"Go apologize to my parents below!"

"Wait!" Zhang Menglong suddenly stopped Han Xingye.

Han Xingye widened her beautiful eyes and looked at him. Was he going to stop her? But if he intended to stop her, why would he bring Elder Hu before them? Several question marks lingered in her mind.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not going to stop you," Zhang Menglong said. "Isn't it just an apology? There's no need to apologize below when it can be done right here."

"You mean to take him to my parents' graves?" Han Xingye seemed to understand his meaning. "Indeed, my parents would definitely be very gratified."

"No, no, no, I mean let him apologize directly to your parents."

"Ah?" Han Xingye and her brother were puzzled. Their parents had been deceased for many years, and by now their remains were likely decayed. How could they accept an apology?

"Small problem!" Zhang Menglong said. "Did he have any accomplices at the time?"

"Yes, there were also two disciples from Cang Lan Sword Sect, but besides him, I can't remember anyone else."

"As long as there are some," Zhang Menglong, as if speaking to the air, said, "Go to the Sun Heaven Sect and have Yun Senhai find those two disciples and bring them here!"

"Yes, Master!" A mysterious voice echoed in the void.

"Don't worry, I'll bring you all a big gift shortly!"

"We'll do exactly as Mr. Zhang says!" To the words of Zhang Menglong, Han Xingye and Han Xingyu were almost unwaveringly obedient. Their parents' enmity was unforgivable; Zhang Menglong had helped them fulfill their longstanding wish for revenge. They would even give their lives to him!

Not long after, two shadows suddenly descended from the sky, unable to move due to their sealed mystic qi. They were Elder Hu's direct disciples, and they were involved in the past events!

The three master and disciples looked at each other at the moment, feeling piercing fear from the insidious smile of Zhang Menglong.

"Hehe, borrowing your bodies for a bit!"

Zhang Menglong drew two formations on the ground, directly placing Elder Hu's two disciples at the center of the formations.

The two disciples looked at the bizarre formations with intense anxiety in their hearts but were helpless, only able to frantically beg and repent.

But if apologies were useful, what would they need Zhang Menglong for?

"Secret technique! Impure World Reincarnation!"

Zhang Menglong formed a complex series of hand seals and slapped his palm onto the ground.

In an instant, black light emanated from the two formations. The formations seemed like hells devouring everything, with countless ghostly white hands reaching out and pulling them in.

Two living people disappeared out of thin air in this strange way.

"Is that hell?"

"How many more techniques does he have?"

The martial artists watching felt their hearts pounding in terror.

Suddenly, two coffins began to float up slowly from the black hell, the sight eerie enough to make people step back several paces unintentionally.

"Bang bang!"

The lid of the coffins suddenly toppled over, and with a wisp of white smoke, two figures slowly emerged.

This was a woman as beautiful as Han Xingye and a robust, tall man. They looked at the unfamiliar surroundings with expressions of boundless longing when they saw each other.

"Father! Mother!"

Han Xingye burst into tears at that moment, a scene she had imagined countless days and nights, knowing full well the dead could not be brought back to life, yet Zhang Menglong had broken this law, and the dead came back to life!

"Brother, am I seeing things? Have the dead come back to life?"

"I... I don't know either!"

"Is this man from hell? Can he really sacrifice the living to revive the dead?"

Though these were people who had already passed, they were those most missed by Han Xingye and her brother. The family of four held each other tightly, beaming with happiness.

"Now you can make him apologize." Zhang Menglong looked at Elder Hu with playful eyes, the notification of earning cred points continuously ringing in his ears, bringing him sheer delight. What's more badass than bringing the dead back to life?

Elder Hu's mind was utterly shattered. What kind of underworld scene was this? The two people he had killed had returned from the dead! Had they come to claim his life?

"Hurry up, you only have half an hour." Zhang Menglong said, "You wouldn't want to spend all this time on revenge, would you?"

Though Impure World Reincarnation could revive people, such things defying the natural order were not without limits. Unless their parents reached the realm of the Sword God, where the physical body could die but the soul remains, half an hour later, they would still vanish.

"I'm sorry! It was all my fault!" Elder Hu muttered with vacant eyes, continuously apologizing.

"Too late!" Han Xingye thrust the sword towards Elder Hu's heart.

However, Han Xingye's martial dao cultivation wasn't high; even though Elder Hu's mystic qi was sealed, he still had the body of a Heaven-breaking Realm martial artist. The sword merely pierced his skin, having no effect on his bones.

"Do you want to change weapons?" Zhang Menglong, left hand gripping a Storm Battleaxe, right hand holding a Demon-Slaying Weeping Blood sword, revealed two divine weapons that instantly darkened the sky, with thunder and lightning due to their presence.

"Weapons that can cause a celestial phenomenon must be at least of the Grand Heaven level!"

"No wonder he casually gifted the Sword God's sword; he just draws out two divine weapons casually, truly making envy unbearable!"

"This Elder Hu is truly unfortunate, allowing his enemy to meet such a friend..."

Just moments ago Elder Hu had felt relieved, but now his face turned even uglier than if he had eaten excrement.

To be killed by a divine weapon of Grand Heaven level or above, how did he deserve such an honor? He absurdly felt somewhat dignified to die under such divine weapons!

Han Xingye took the Storm Battleaxe from Zhang Menglong's hand and used all her strength to hack at Elder Hu in front of her.

A storm raged, and a Thunder Dragon descended from the sky, burning Elder Hu's entire body to ashes in extreme agony, ending his sinful life.

"Go enjoy your last moments with your family!" Zhang Menglong flicked his sleeve, leaving without a trace, exemplifying the demeanor of a transcendent master.

The martial artists watched Zhang Menglong's elegant departing back, fulfilling all their imaginations of an apex strong person.
