Xi Wujiang's face finally changed.

His face, made of broken armor, was twisted like coke burned by fire.

He roared and struggled, trying to stop the erosion of that force, but everything was in vain.

"No... impossible! This forbidden technique... this forbidden technique is obviously..."

"You learned it from me clearly, right?" Xi Yu interrupted him coldly, "You only know one thing, not the other. This forbidden technique is a double-edged sword! It can not only control others, but also backfire itself!"

"Click...Click..."

The bronze armor on Xi Wujiang's body was shattered inch by inch, like glass crushed by huge force, making a tingling sound.

Debris splashed everywhere, drawing cold lights in the air.

Each piece of debris is like a sharp blade, cutting the surrounding air.

As the armor peeled off, Xi Wujiang's face hidden under the armor was finally revealed.

That was a...ordinary face.

There is no hideousness, no distortion, or even a little bit... elegant?

That face is seventy-sixth-slightly similar to Xi Yu, but it lacks the sharpness and domineeringness between Xi Yu's eyebrows, and a little more feminine and... calculating.

"You...you..." Xi Wujiang's voice became weak and trembling, like a beast strangled to his throat.

"Are you really trying to pursue the traitors for years? Are you really trying to consolidate the imperial power?" Xi Yu approached step by step, and every step seemed to be stepping on Xi Wujiang's heart. "I'm just looking for a suitable opportunity, an opportunity to completely eradicate you!"

He paused, his eyes were like a knife, staring at the tattoo that was looming on Xi Wujiang's neck.

"And you, my good brother, the tattoo on your neck... it should return to the original owner."

As Xi Yu finished speaking, the tattoo on Xi Wujiang's neck began to twist and wriggle as if it was coming alive.

Then, in the horrified eyes of everyone, the tattoo actually began to peel off!

It looked like a torn painted skin or a shedded snake skin. The tattoo gradually broke away from Xi Wujiang's skin, revealing the smooth and smooth skin below.

At the same time, the body of the purple woman suddenly let out a shrill scream.

The scream seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell, piercing everyone's eardrums.

Her originally solid body instantly turned into thousands of blood!

Each bloodline was like a tiny poisonous snake, twisting and struggling, emitting a disgusting smell of blood.

These bloodshots rushed towards... Lao Cai!

"Dad!" Cai Wenshuang exclaimed, trying to stop it, but it was too late.

Those bloodshots penetrated into Lao Cai's body with lightning speed.

Lao Cai's body swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a blown balloon.

"Ah..." Old Cai let out a painful roar, and his eyes instantly turned blood red.

At this moment, Xi Yu and Cai Wenshuang noticed that a photo was reflected in Lao Cai's blood-red pupils!

That's a photo...

In the photo, the girl in purple smiled and snuggled beside a man.

Although the man had a blurry face, he could vaguely see that he was... the late emperor!

And the background of this photo is... the ancestral home of the Xi family!

The familiar blue bricks and black tiles, the familiar carved beams and painted buildings, all tell a shocking secret.

"This...this is impossible..." Cai Wenshuang murmured to himself,

Xi Yu's face also became extremely solemn.

He stared at Lao Cai and asked word by word: "Who are you...?"

Lao Cai did not answer, but just slowly raised his hand and pointed at the expanding crack deep in the underground palace.

His originally kind face was now full of weirdness and...crazy. He looked at Xi Yu and a creepy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The bloodshots were like maggots on the tarsal bones, and each one was like a burning iron wire, rushing around his blood vessels.

Lao Cai's body swelled like a deformed monster, his skin was so tight that it was about to explode, and his veins swelled up like twisted earthworms.

His throat let out a beast-like roar, pain, despair, but with a hint of strange excitement.

In the blood-red pupils, the photo became clearer. The woman in purple smiled cleverly and snuggled beside the blurry late emperor. The background was the ancestral home of the Xi family.

The blue bricks and black tiles, the carved beams and painted buildings look gloomy and terrifying at this moment, like a dormant giant beast, about to reveal its fangs.

"Who are you...?" Xi Yu's voice was low and hoarse, as if it had been sanded by sandpaper, with a hint of incredible trembling.

Lao Cai did not answer, and a creepy smile appeared on his twisted face.

That smile does not belong to a kind father, but is more like an evil ghost from hell.

He suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed Xi Yu, and pushed him hard into the expanding crack deep in the underground palace!

"Go and find the 'reverse scale formation' underground in the Xi family's ancestral home!" Lao Cai's voice was hoarse and sharp, like the cry of a night owl, echoing in the empty underground palace.

Xi Yu was caught off guard and staggered into the crack.

In the crack, there was a bizarre and time and space were distorted, and pictures flashed like a lantern.

Suddenly, a clear image freezes the image of childhood Xi Yu, standing side by side with the young Cai father, with bright smiles on both of them.

This sudden scene shocked Xi Yu's heart, and an inexplicable chill rushed straight from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

Outside the crack, Cai Wenshuang exclaimed, trying to reach out to play Yu, but was caught by Lao Cai.

"Don't move!" Lao Cai's voice was full of warning, but a trace of imperceptible pain flashed in his eyes.

Cai Wenshuang's heart was tangled, and she stared at the crack as if she wanted to see through it.

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and suddenly tore open Xi Yu's clothes.

A groove suddenly appeared at Xi Yuxin's mouth, which was exactly in line with the goat pendant she had been wearing!

At this moment, Xi Yu suddenly coughed out a mouthful of blood, and there was a purple Gu insect in the blood!

The insect struggled and made a slight hissing sound.

"I held your father hostage back then to prevent him from activate this container!" Xi Yu's voice was weak and powerless, but with a hint of determination.

At the same time, on the ground of the imperial city, golden runes spread like spider webs, and the Xi family's ancestral home slowly rose from the ground, like a sleeping giant, finally awakening.

The tattoo on Lao Cai's neck suddenly came alive and turned into black chains, tied Xi Yu and Cai Wen together.

"Twin bloodlines must be injected at the same time to activate the ultimate seal!" Lao Cai's voice was no longer hoarse, but instead became low and majestic, as if from an ancient oracle.

Xi Yu and Cai Wenshuang were tied together, and their blood slowly flowed along the chains to the Xi family's ancestral home... Old Cai looked at this scene, a complex light flashed in his eyes, and muttered to himself: "Ziyi, you are still... back after all..."

OK, the following is the novel content after removing irrelevant content and translating it in English:

"Boom--"

There was a loud bang, as if the thunder in the nine heavens exploded, and the entire imperial city trembled.

The ancient bronze gate of the Xi family's ancestral home slowly opened in the vibration, and a cold breath came to the face, with the smell of decay and death, which made people shudder.

Xi Yu and Cai Wenshuang were tied up in black chains, like two lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and were dragged into the dark abyss.

Blood flowed along the chains and dripped on the bluestone slab, making a "click" sound, which seemed particularly harsh in this quiet space.

At this moment, a purple light shot out from the depths of the imperial city, like a bolt of lightning, cutting through the darkness.

The light dissipated, and a woman in purple slowly floated out of the crystal coffin of the late emperor.

Her face is beautiful, but she has a strange charm, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows are filled with a heart-pounding chill.

She stood in the air, with her skirt flying, like a mysterious woman descending to the mortal world.

However, what she held tightly in her hand was a blood-stained jade pendant - it was the relics of Xi Yu's mother and the softest memory in his heart!

"Yu'er, do you think... the Lord of the Tianji Pavilion would be a weak woman?" The voice of the woman in purple was as erratic as a ghost, but with a hint of heartbreaking tenderness, "I... am your mother's reincarnation!"

Xi Yu's pupils suddenly contracted, and he stared at the jade pendant tightly, and the shock and anger in his heart gushed out like a volcano!

"No... impossible! You...who are you?!"
