Holding the hands of his mother and sister, Feng Hui closed his eyes, "There is no reason for me to blindly follow the world's laws."
"Since the world refuses my will, why must I accept the world?" Feng Hui's eyes excelled with a miraculous shine. Time flowed like water, and he continued to control the heart demon. While he was undergoing countless actions for hours, he felt a sudden massive force probing the location of his apartment in Starryfu.
"Tian Changming." Swiftly, Feng Hui exited the heart demon without hesitation. To his side, the fake mother and sister faded away to reappear another day. In a flash, he also took back his apartment domain. With his incredible understanding of the laws, he could evade the short, light probing with ease. Thus, his defensive domain was not detected.
Pondering the reason for this intrusion, Feng Hui thought, "It's impossible for me to have been detected and connected with my mother."
There were countless possible reasons for this probing. Feng Hui stepped through a pitch-black portal to reach his home in Starryfu. Regardless of the reason, he needed to take action fast. With a thought, he toned down his appearance, and his mask disappeared along with the silver cloak.

Starryfu.
Feng Family's home.
Silently emerging in his family's apartment, Feng Hui quickly went to his little sister's room. Spotting the cute figure relaxing on her pink, flowery bed, he pulled her into a bear bug while communicating with her through Qi Transmission.
"Dàgē…?" Feng Mei was shocked at the sudden entrance of her elder brother. Hugging him back, she patiently comprehended his words.
"Mèimei, be calm and don't show anger. I'm near certain that the kidnapper of Mom is coming to our home." The most important thing was his mother's safety. Feng Hui could not afford to implicate his mother who was surrounded by enemies in the Suxia World.
This was the reason he had canceled his domain. Masking their souls which were refined with cultivation, he concealed himself and his little sister with the essence of a normal mortal.
If Tian Changming was not awfully thorough with his search for a long time, everything would appear normal. There should no reason for him to be systematic either.
Sitting on the soft bed with his little sister was Nian Zhen. Seeing her, Feng Hui nodded, and the two exchanged a silent agreement with their eyes. In his little sister's room, there was a sudden, beautiful golden portal forming. The violent distortion in space energy caused Nian Zhen to sweat a little bit.
Emerging from the portal, a tall golden-robed man stepped out. Within his bright eyes, there seemed to be an entire hidden world. Smiling, Tian Changming chuckled at the three figures, "Greetings."
Tian Changming's bearing was elegant, and he began to examine the disposition of the three children. In his eyes, these three were nothing but brats.
Living for thousands of years, Tian Changming had seen too much. When the children looked at him, the three of them were silent and shocked.
Expecting this, Tian Changming leisurely formed a large chair with his Qi. Clearing his throat, he laughed with his deep voice which could entrance a mortal with ease, "I'm Tian Changming, the man behind this world's apocalypse."
"You… are the one behind all this death?" Nian Zhen's eyes became bloodthirsty, and her busty chest heaved up and down. This was the evil demon who had caused her family and friends to die!
On the bed, Feng Hui was silent while holding his little sister. Letting her small head hide beneath his arms, he did not make any major move, and his dark eyes were filled with terror as if he was afraid of the strength of this golden-robed man.
"It's but a fleeting moment. To answer your question, yes, I am." Tian Changming's deep voice was calm without a single ripple.
"You're not related to Feng Chunhua, little one. Stand aside." Heeding the words of his top talent, Chunhua had two children she cared about on Earth. Scanning their bodies, Tian Changming could discern the blood relations of the two scared children on the bed. This furious child was unrelated.
When Nian Zhen heard this compassionate, celestial voice, she sluggishly collapsed to the floor while kowtowing with a pair of dazed eyes, and she did not say a single word afterward.
Stepping toward the bed, Tian Changming looked at the Feng siblings. With a celestial smile, he stated, "Your mother wishes to bring you two back with me."
"What… mother is alive...?" Feng Hui's entire figure was trembling, and his eyes overflowed with hot tears. In his embrace, his little sister was shaking as well.
"Everything will be all right now. There will be a safe place for you two in my world." Seeing the expected reaction, Tian Changming declared with a gracious voice as if he was the savior of the world.
"I—I… how can we trust your words?" With a skeptical face, Feng Hui did not dare to look the golden-robed man in the eyes.
In his mind, Feng Hui snorted, "Wait until I'm in your world with Mom next to me."
If he could save his mom sooner, that would be better. There would be no need to wait until he was an Immortal to bring his mother back and carry out his revenge.
"You can trust me. I have no need to lie." Suddenly, Tian Changming's deep eyes that incorporated the world's laws shone with a mysterious light, and he began enthralling the two children.
Soon, an obedient look appeared on the two children. Feng Hui was swiftly communicating with his little sister through Qi Transmission. Furthermore, he connected with the entire group regarding his instructions for the future.
"Yes… we can. We will follow." Feng Hui and his sister replied with a confused, respectful voice.
"Good, good." Tian Changming chuckled with a kind smile. The reason he had arrived in this mundane world was because of the begging request of Feng Chunhua. At last, he had relented after more than two months of begging when the mother began showing more and more of her astonishing leadership and talent.
Right now, Tian Changming was still unaware of the death of his First Legion. The sole method his army could communicate with him was through Zhao Jing. As his top subordinate, he had left him a unique communication treasure that could transcend worlds. A treasure he had found in the Immortal World.
Naturally, Tian Changming had no reason to believe that his strong First Legion had fallen prey to weak humans on Earth during this extinction mission.
Flicking his sleeves, Tian Changming cast open a beautiful golden portal once more. His tall figure was one with nature, creating a beautiful, captivating sight.
"Let's go, little ones. Your mother will be extremely pleased." Connecting Earth with his Suxia World, Tian Changming smiled. Toward his talents, he was a benevolent master.
"Mother… I can't wait." Feng Hui's eyes shone with the urge to kneel before this benevolent master, and his little sister was also worshipping of this unknown tall man.
Pleased, Tian Changming was satisfied with their delightful expressions. Chuckling, he began moving inside the portal, "Let's not waste another second. Chunhua is very eager to see the two of you."
Along with these fading words, Tian Changming stepped inside the portal followed by the two 'entranced' children. Just before leaving, Feng Hui exchanged one last instruction with his little sister's best friend.
The two-week extinction mission was still ongoing. Once Tian Changming died, the system would become useless, and there would be no chance for erasure. As long as Feng Hui ended the life of this half-step Immortal before the two-week mark, Earth would be saved.
Stepping through the portal with his little sister, Feng Hui was excited, and he gulped a large mouthful of saliva in expectation. Regardless of his urge to slaughter this golden-robed man, he was thrilled to see his dear mother again.
