Chapter 1127: Chapter 1127: The Memories of the Man in the Black Mist

After comforting the Man in the Black Mist with great difficulty, Ning Fan was able to continue listening to the rest of the story.

"What happened afterward? What else occurred?"

The Man in the Black Mist pondered for a long while before he slowly said, "Actually, the time I was tormented by your mother was so painful that my memories of that period are not very clear."

"I only remember that it seemed someone had intruded into the Secret Realm, looking to trouble your mother, but she didn’t take them seriously at all and went out to confront them directly."

"As a result, once she left, she never came back. It was only after a long time had passed that I realized your mother must have been trapped. However, with her strength, I presume she wouldn’t have died and might have been severely injured, hiding somewhere to heal."

After that incident, the Man in the Black Mist had no further knowledge.

He spent a long time recovering from the painful torment inflicted by Ning Fan’s mother.

By the time he regained consciousness and started his Cultivation, seeking to slay other Cultivators, a long time had already passed.

"Listening to you, it seems my mother brought you quite a few painful memories..." Ning Fan mused with a faint sense of melancholy.

The Man in the Black Mist nodded with conviction: "In reality, she had no ill intent at the time. She did it for fun, hoping to see me succeed in my Cultivation."

"Unfortunately, she didn’t realize at that time that a being like me can’t be compared with someone with innate gifts like hers."

In the words of the Man in the Black Mist, Ning Fan’s mother had the highest Cultivation talent at that time.

Even Ning Fan’s current talent might not surpass his mother’s.

"I remember, back then your mother caused quite a stir in Kunlun, but I’m not very clear about the details, as all these I learned from the memories of those Cultivators I killed."

"However, because their memories dissipated after they died, no matter how quickly I absorbed them, I couldn’t retain much, so that’s all I know."

Hearing this, Ning Fan showed a look of gratitude and said solemnly, "No, these many things you’ve told me can already be of great help to me."

In the past, Ning Fan’s image of his mother was not clear.

Although he had seen his mother in his inheritance, it was a first-time experience to converse like today.

Despite not having seen his mother’s appearance in person in the end, he was quite content.

After all, in the past few years, Ning Fan had actually been worried that his persistent quest would be fruitless.

Because no matter how strong one’s parents are, there’s always someone stronger in the world.

If someday they faced a crisis and luck wasn’t on their side, what would all his years of searching amount to?

But after personally sensing his mother’s presence, Ning Fan now completely dismissed his previous thoughts.

He believed that even if his mother was indeed in danger, she would not sit and wait for doom but would try her best to find a way out.

Her demeanor seemed to imply that any troubles were insignificant to her.

"Since my mother once had dealings with you, it seems that our previous matters can now be put aside."

Ning Fan paid no heed to the Man in the Black Mist’s killing of Cultivators.

In his view, most of the Cultivators in Kunlun were deranged, believing themselves to be celestial beings aloof from the mundane world.

The Man in the Black Mist killing those Cultivators of Kunlun seemed perfectly justifiable to him.

"You, are you willing to let bygones be bygones?"

The Man in the Black Mist was surprised and spoke incredulously.

After all, the fight between them had been so fierce that it was nothing less than a struggle to the death.

Even if he had a past with Ning Fan’s mother, could his opponent really set aside their grudges so quickly?

"Since my mother didn’t kill you after interacting with you, it means that your crimes do not warrant death. Perhaps the path you’re now on is also part of her plan."

Hearing this, the Man in the Black Mist was silent for a moment before extending his right hand toward Ning Fan.

"Although your mother tormented me terribly back then, she did help me greatly, so I have been grateful to her to this day."

"From this point on, I will help you in Kunlun, but I hope that one day you can help me leave this Secret Realm."

Ning Fan was surprised, "I thought the method you are using now was left to you by my mother."

"No, your mother didn’t actually plan to take me with her. As soon as those people came looking for trouble, your mother left to fight them immediately, and I was left behind as if forgotten."

Speaking of this, the Man in the Black Mist felt utterly dejected.

No matter how insignificant he seemed, he had been tormented by that woman for such a long time.

Yet when she left, she did so without any mercy or lingering attachment, as if she had never truly cared about him.

Ning Fan felt somewhat embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, leading the Man in the Black Mist toward the passage.

Soon, the two reached the entrance of the passageway.

They gazed down at the pitch-black abyss below, feeling as if they were being watched by some dark eyes.

"Jump in, and we can leave this place."

Ning Fan looked down at the dark abyss and then cast a final look back at this netherworld.

This was the place where he had once again encountered his mother, and suddenly having to leave, he felt an unexpected reluctance.
