The range of the Dreamy Bubble Shadow depends on Fang Zhou's spiritual power.

With the boost of 400 points of spiritual power, the surrounding kilometer is enveloped in the Illusion Technique.

Everyone below stopped moving. The content of the illusion Fang Zhou provided them was a blank slate, devoid of anything, simply keeping them in a state of ignorance about the outside world.

Fang Zhou and two others descended from the sky, landing in the courtyard.

Ming Aoshuang looked closely at her motionless mother, instinctively wanting to reach out and touch her, but she pulled back and asked Fang Zhou, "What do you plan to do?"

"Of course, to let the truth continue."

Fang Zhou smiled and then pulled over a corpse of an enemy killed by Ming Shuangqiong, and said to Ming Aoshuang, "Switch her clothes with your mother's."

Aya's eyes lit up instantly, vaguely guessing the reason.

Ming Aoshuang was still a little unclear but began swapping the clothes of her mother and the corpse.

The corpse Fang Zhou chose had a similar size and build as Ming Shuangqiong, making it easy to swap their clothes.

After swapping the clothes, Fang Zhou poured out some Hua Ji Soft Bone Water from a gourd he carried with him, using it to disguise Ming Shuangqiong and the corpse.

Aya and Ming Aoshuang watched from the side, quickly showing expressions of astonishment.

Under Fang Zhou's technique, the faces of Ming Shuangqiong and the corpse were completely swapped, making it impossible to distinguish between them.

At this moment, Ming Shuangqiong became the corpse, and the corpse became Ming Shuangqiong.

Ming Aoshuang suddenly understood Fang Zhou's intention, her breath quickening with excitement.

Fang Zhou made Ming Shuangqiong unconscious and placed her back at the corpse's original location, while the corpse, now transformed into Ming Shuangqiong, was frozen by Ming Aoshuang and positioned in Ming Shuangqiong's original standing spot.

After finishing all of this, Fang Zhou took the two back into the air, canceling the Illusion Technique in the process.

Everyone below awakened simultaneously; since the content of the illusion was blank, they hadn't even realized they were under its influence.

Ming Aoshuang released True Qi across the void, landing it on the courtyard, disguising the corpse as her mother's.

A chilling cold quickly spread from the corpse, leaving the ground covered with frost.

In the eyes of the black-clad individuals in the courtyard, "Ming Shuangqiong" was using a spell to perish together with them.

The cold spread so fast that many black-clad individuals couldn't dodge in time, instantly freezing upon contact.

The corpse disguised as Ming Shuangqiong was also covered in cold air, but Ming Aoshuang carefully avoided her mother, enveloping her in a hollow shell to make it appear frozen.

In an instant, the whole courtyard was shrouded in frost mist, with over a dozen black-clad individuals turned into ice sculptures.

Still, this was within Ming Aoshuang's control according to her mother's spiritual level without exceeding it greatly to avoid errors deviating from reality.

A few surviving black-clad individuals were terribly shocked, seemingly not expecting Ming Shuangqiong had such a terrifying move hidden.

They cautiously approached the "Ming Shuangqiong" frozen into an ice sculpture in the center.

One of them gathered courage and slashed at the ice sculpture with a longsword, revealing a fine crack.

Others joined in, hacking and chopping until they finally shattered the ice sculpture.

Once the ice sculpture shattered, the "Ming Shuangqiong" within fragmented, breaking into pieces all over the ground.

Seeing "Ming Shuangqiong" truly dead, the black-clad individuals breathed deeply and turned to retreat.

They wanted to destroy the corpses of their companions, yet having spent so much effort breaking just one ice sculpture of "Ming Shuangqiong," and breaking their weapons in the process, would take immensely long.

So they left it, unable to revive, the shattered ice sculpture even making gender indiscernible, alleviating the fear of intelligence leakage.

At this moment, the fabricated reality by the trio seamlessly merged with past events, without exposing any flaw.

Once these black-clad individuals left, Ming Aoshuang quickly rescued her real mother.

To fill the vacancy of missing corpses below, Fang Zhou improvised something from the gourd, placed it back and let Ming Aoshuang freeze it to prevent exposure.

This was no time for reminiscing. After absorbing Ming Shuangqiong into the gourd, the trio went to find Huo Ao, who was already fleeing with his daughter.

Under Fang Zhou's Divine Sense, locating Huo Ao, who had already run a distance, was easy as he was being pursued by black-clad individuals.

Not all black-clad individuals entered the courtyard; a few remained outside keeping watch, now relentlessly chasing Huo Ao.

Seriously injured, Huo Ao was bleeding all the way, unable to shake off his pursuers.

Seeing enemies closing in, Huo Ao glanced at his daughter and, gritting his teeth, hid her in a bush, covered her with dry grass, then turned to flee in another direction.

After running a distance, Huo Ao picked up a branch from the ground and snapped it forcefully, making a noise deliberately.

The enemies pursuing him were indeed drawn to the noise.

Huo Ao found a stone, cradling it under his clothes, pretending still to carry his daughter.

He slowed his pace intentionally, allowing the enemies to chase closely to prevent them from going back to find his daughter.

"No... How can this be..."

In the air, Ming Aoshuang murmured, her body slightly trembling, unable to believe the scene before her.

She had resented her father for thirty years, extending her anger to all men in the world.

She thought her father had abandoned his wife and children, only to realize he did so for her better survival.

Now, the hatred in Ming Aoshuang's heart had disappeared, yet it seemed as though a huge chunk had been hollowed out, leaving an empty void.

Fang Zhou reached out and hugged Ming Aoshuang, gazing into her eyes and said, "It's not your fault. I'll rescue your father, and you can apologize properly."

Ming Aoshuang snapped back to reality, realizing she was already in tears.

She tightly embraced Fang Zhou, burying her head into his neck, clenching her teeth hard to avoid bursting into a sob.

Below, Huo Ao continued to flee, no longer considering whether or not he could escape or where he was headed.

His sole thought was to run; the farther he ran, the safer his daughter would be.

The enemies behind tried several times to catch up, but Huo Ao shook them off with astonishing perseverance.

His blood almost drained, yet a firm belief propelled him onward.

After running for a while, the enemies finally seized a strategic opportunity and threw weapons at Huo Ao.

A longsword, shimmering coldly, flew over and the exhausted Huo Ao failed to dodge, impaled from the back.

In the air, Ming Aoshuang clung tightly to her mouth, preventing a scream.

However, tears flowed relentlessly and couldn't be stopped.

Huo Ao tumbled forward at a sloping point, rolling down directly across the slope.

Beneath the slope was a cliff, where Huo Ao eventually fell off.
