“Mentor.” Seeing Yin Mingjue, Ji Linyuan, who had transformed into a Divine Feather Phoenix, couldn’t help but shed tears.

Yin Mingjue didn’t say anything and just stared at Sheng Lingfeng, Yu Huang, and the others calmly.

He nodded at Sheng Lingfeng with some emotion and said, “Long time no see, Brother Lingfeng.”

Sheng Lingfeng was stunned.

As Sheng Lingfeng stared at Yin Mingjue’s soul body, for a moment, he was actually unable to tell if this person was Yin Mingjue’s real soul body or if it was the doing of Holy Spirit Goldfeather.

Yin Mingjue smiled and his gaze landed on the Divine Feather Phoenix under Yu Huang’s feet. At this moment, Yin Mingjue’s gaze became gentle and loving as he said sadly, “Linyuan, from the looks of it, you’ve already broken through to the Grand Master realm.”

“Mentor!” Ji Linyuan immediately transformed into his main body. He wiped his tears as he said in a choked voice, “Mentor, you risked your life to save me, so I didn’t dare to slack off cultivating for even a single day. Mentor, is it really you?”

Yin Mingjue nodded and said in confusion, “Back then, I did self-destruct my beast form and burn my soul to block the mysterious power outside the Time Gate. However, the strange thing is that a portion of my soul didn’t dissipate. I’ve been imprisoned in this Central Pagoda for the entire time.”

He looked up at the heavy tower above him with a frown and said, “But for some reason, just now, the power that imprisoned me suddenly disappeared. Only then did I realize that I can condense a soul body to talk to you guys.”

Hearing this, Sheng Lingfeng and the others realized that Yin Mingjue was a true phantom just like Holy Spirit Goldfeather.

If they could free his soul and send him into reincarnation, he would be able to reincarnate and obtain a new life!

However, after Sheng Lingfeng heard about Yin Mingjue’s situation, he had a bad feeling.

The mysterious force that imprisoned Yin Mingjue suddenly disappearing was probably done on purpose by Holy Spirit Goldfeather.

At this moment, Yin Mingjue suddenly looked at the young woman standing beside Ji Linyuan. As he stared at the woman’s beautiful facial features. Yin Mingjue sensed the blood connection between the girl and him. After guessing the girl’s identity, Yin Mingjue was shocked.

“Is it Huang’er?” Yin Mingjue’s eyes were instantly filled with tears.

When Yu Huang heard this, her heart ached and tears suddenly fell.

Ji Linyuan hurriedly nodded vigorously and told Yin Mingjue anxiously, “Mentor, this is Huang’er. Huang’er has already grown up. Look, her eyes look just like your wife’s! Mentor, after you died, that bastard Yin Mingchong threw her into the Abyssal Origin Forest. If it wasn’t for Donghai risking his life to enter the abyss and find Huang’er, I’m afraid…”

“However, she’s finally turned things around. Now, she’s broken through to the Supreme Master Realm at such a young age and even married the young master of the Sheng family, I remember that you used to like Young Master Sheng very much and said that he was a good child. You can rest assured since she’s married to Young Master Sheng now.”

After knowing that Yu Huang had experienced so much hardship, Yin Mingjue, as her father, was naturally furious. When he heard that Yu Huang had gotten together with Sheng Xiao, Yin Mingjue felt that it was fate.

He glanced at the Sheng family.

Sheng Xiao quickly went to Sheng Lingfeng’s side and bowed to Yin Mingjue as he said respectfully, “Greetings, Prime Master Yin Mingjue.”

Sheng Lingfeng smacked the back of Sheng Xiao’s head and reprimanded, “Are you stupid? You should change your address now.”

Sheng Xiao’s ears turned red as he stole a glance at Yin Mingjue.

Sheng Xiao had admired Yin Mingjue since he was young. Ever since he was young, he had wanted Yin Mingjue to be his mentor. Unfortunately, Yin Mingjue died before he could awaken his beast form.

Sheng Xiao’s heart raced. He tried his best to remain calm, but he couldn’t hide the excitement in his voice. “Greetings, Father-in-law!”

Yin Mingjue gave him a deep look.

When Sheng Xiao was just his good friend’s child, Yin Mingjue already admired his talent.

However, when he thought about how Sheng Xiao married his only daughter, Yin Mingjue found Sheng Xiao an eyesore.

However, it was undeniable that this child was indeed a trustworthy child.

Yin Mingjue sighed and looked at Yu Huang as he said sadly, “It seemed like yesterday that you were still lying in my arms and crying. How did you become someone’s wife in the blink of an eye?”

When Yu Huang heard Yin Mingjue’s words, her heart ached even more, and she couldn’t stop her tears.

Yin Mingjue was satisfied when he saw that Yu Huang had grown up. Not only was she tall and beautiful, but she also looked very healthy. He said, “When you were born, your soul was very weak. We were worried that you wouldn’t grow up. Because of this, your mother and I always thought of ways to nourish your body. Seeing that you’re now healthy and beautiful, I think those tonics were very effective.”

Yu Huang frowned slightly when she heard this.

Was the Host’s soul very weak when she was young?

Yin Mingjue felt sad when he thought about how he had missed his daughter’s growth, her wedding, and the important moment when she would be a mother in the future. Yin Mingjue closed his eyes and held back his tears as he said, “Huang’er, we brought you to the human world without your permission, but we were unable to accompany you in your growth and witness the important moments of you becoming a wife and mother. I feel very sad about this.”

Yu Huang wiped her tears and hurriedly shook her head. “I don’t blame you. I’ve never blamed you. Father, you’re my hero. I’ll always be proud of you.”

Yin Mingjue felt relieved.

At this moment, Yin Mingjue finally discovered Di Ruofeng, who was standing in front of the powerhouses of the Divine Realm Academy.

Yin Mingjue couldn’t help but feel sad when he saw the white-haired old man in a black cotton shirt and black cloth shoes.

He remembered that more than twenty years ago, his mentor’s hair wasn’t white yet.

“Mentor!” Yin Mingjue suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily in Di Ruofeng’s direction as he lamented sadly, “Mentor, I feel deeply guilty for not being able to protect those 199 children. I’ve let you down.”

From the moment Di Ruofeng saw Yin Mingjue, his hands had been trembling behind his back.

When he heard this long-awaited ‘Mentor’, two streams of tears rolled down Di Ruofeng’s face.

After Yin Mingjue sacrificed himself, Di Ruofeng sat in front of the Central Pagoda for ten days and ten nights without drinking a drop of water. When he left the Central Pagoda, his black hair had already turned white.

Now that he had finally seen his disciple’s soul, even though he knew that this was most likely Holy Spirit Goldfeather’s scheme, Di Ruofeng still flew towards the tower door without hesitation.

Di Ruofeng landed in front of Yin Mingjue and slowly knelt down to hug his beloved disciple.

However, Yin Mingjue was a phantom. He only had a form and no body.

Di Ruofeng reached out, but he missed.
