Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 1043 - 195: The Reunion of a Family of Three
Yun Sheng saw his father dressed as a prison guard and guessed that after leaving Sky Wing City, he must have been lurking in Penglai for these past years. But he didn’t know if his father and mother had ever met.
"Sheng’er, I brought you to the Water Prison to tell you that the woman named Hu Sheng is imprisoned here. And she was captured by your mother and the Second Main Summoner. The person they initially wanted to capture was you, but because she looks exactly like you, she was mistakenly caught. I should’ve told you about this long ago, but for your safety, I kept it from you," Yun Canghai admitted with guilt.
"Is this true? Hu Sheng was captured because of me. Father, you were really careless," Yun Sheng felt even more guilty towards Hu Sheng after learning the truth.
"You should go and see her. She has been very haggard lately and unwilling to eat anything, no matter how I try to persuade her," Yun Canghai felt distressed seeing Hu Sheng like that.
Hu Sheng and Yun Sheng look identical, but Hu Sheng’s temperament is very different from his own daughter’s.
What kind of past did that child go through to end up with such a hopeless look?
"Father, I don’t blame you, please take me to see her quickly," Yun Sheng understood his father’s thoughts. A parent’s willingness to become even an evil spirit for their children is unavoidable.
Yet, Hu Jiusheng pretended not to know and let the mistake continue, catching Hu Sheng to take her place. This might imply that Hu Jiusheng still secretly cherishes the blood ties with their mother and daughter.
Yun Sheng and Yun Canghai immediately found the cell where Hu Sheng was held.
The conditions in the cell were terrible. Hu Sheng’s limbs had festering wounds, making Yun Sheng even angrier.
What a Summoning Court, using such severe punishment on a mere weak woman.
"Hu Sheng, we’ve come to rescue you," Yun Sheng called softly.
Inside the cell, Hu Sheng showed no reaction.
Perhaps from not eating for too long, Hu Sheng appeared unconscious and lay motionless on the ground, her long black hair covering her face.
Her prison clothes were marked with shocking blood stains, and a rat scurried past her.
Without hesitation, Yun Sheng flicked her Magic Wand, and a Thunderbolt struck the cell’s chains.
The chains broke instantly, and Yun Sheng kicked open the cell door.
She was about to open the cell door, enter, and help Hu Sheng up.
Just as Yun Sheng bent down, she felt a twitch between her eyebrows, as if sensing something.
A sense of unprecedented crisis made Yun Sheng instinctively use the Charming Step Technique.
As her foot stepped out, a sharp Wind Blade grazed the side of her face, leaving a burning pain and a red scar.
"Sheng’er, watch out!" Yun Canghai then realized that the woman in the cell was not Hu Sheng.
The woman who had been lying on the ground stood up, removed her wig and prison clothes.
The dim cell brightened slightly due to the woman’s appearance.
It was a breathtakingly beautiful face, and even without any smile on it, she still looked as gorgeous as a blooming red rose, her stunning eyes twinkled with enchanting charm and beauty.
Ninth Main Summoner, Hu Jiusheng!
At the same time, several summoners suddenly barged into the once empty cell.
The real Hu Sheng, shackled in chains, was dragged out by two summoners.
"Yun Sheng, why did you come here? You shouldn’t have," Hu Sheng exclaimed, wanting to come over but was restrained by the two summoners unable to move.
The "Hu Sheng" in the cell turned out to be Hu Jiusheng impersonating her.
"Jiusheng, how could you lay hands on Sheng’er, she is our daughter!" Yun Canghai was furious, never expecting Hu Jiusheng to have set up an ambush.
"Father! Don’t say more, mother’s not right," Yun Sheng keenly noticed that Hu Jiusheng seemed different from when she last met her.
Today her expression was icy, and against her silver-white hair, her blood-red lips and her murderous glare made it seem as if she didn’t recognize Yun Sheng and Yun Canghai at all.
This Hu Jiusheng was not the same Hu Jiusheng that Yun Sheng and Yun Canghai had known before.
She was enveloped in Evil Qi, like a Blood Demon emerging from Hell.
"Those who trespass the Water Prison shall be put to death," Hu Jiusheng’s lips parted with an icy proclamation.
This statement sent a chill through the hearts of Yun Sheng and Yun Canghai.
Her eyes were cold, devoid of any emotion as she looked at Yun Sheng and Yun Canghai, resembling a killing machine.
Earlier that morning, the Red Robe Summoning Emperor had summoned her and after returning, her mind was blank, echoing only with this command like a bell and drum.
The Yun Sheng and Yun Canghai before her now were strangers.
Yun Canghai gritted his teeth, quickly surveying the surroundings, "Sheng’er, I’ll hold off your mother, and you take Miss Hu Sheng and leave immediately!"
Yun Canghai knew he had fallen into the Red Robe Summoning Emperor’s trap, and time was tight. If he didn’t let his daughter escape quickly, once the Red Robe Summoning Emperor returned, both Yun Sheng and Hu Sheng would be in danger.
Yun Canghai was aware of Yun Sheng’s capabilities, and believed that besides Hu Jiusheng, the other summoners were no match for Yun Sheng.
"No, Father, you take Hu Sheng away, leave mother to me," Yun Sheng shook her head.
Her mother Hu Jiusheng was a summoner, and Yun Sheng had long seen her power.
Now she had lost her humanity and was too dangerous; Yun Sheng feared she might do something she’d regret for the rest of her life.
"No need to argue, neither of you are leaving!" Hu Jiusheng sneered, raising her hand.
"Time-Space Prohibition!" she chanted, and from her Magic Wand, gray Magic Wave surged forth. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
In an instant, Yun Sheng and Yun Canghai felt an arrest in their movements, unable to step forward.
Just as the Time-Space Prohibition was taking effect, the cell suddenly filled with green mist.
The poisonous fog caught the summoners of the Summoning Court off guard.
It was Qi’s Magic Poison Fog, and Yun Sheng’s limbs regained freedom instantly. She took out several prepared Elixirs, urging her father, Hu Sheng, and others to take them immediately.
"Yun Sheng, we’re here to help you," just then, Qi and Gu Feng rushed in.
Before the Dutian Summit today, Yun Sheng had already planned with Gu Feng and Qi, having them infiltrate the Summoning Court earlier and lurk in the Water Prison.
Seeing Qi, Hu Sheng’s eyes showed a glimmer of hope.
"You two escort Hu Sheng out first, my father and I will cover," Yun Sheng and her father exchanged a glance, both knowing today was the best opportunity to take Hu Jiusheng with them, fearing that it might be hard to get another chance later.
