An hour later after they had flown for a very long time, Xiao Lin's mother, Zhao Yun, descended with Xiao Lin from the air to the ground.

At the moment, she looked very pale.

But this was because she had used nearly all of her spiritual energy to fly and to maintain the platform that she used to move Xiao Lin through the air, and then also the thick barrier that protected her son from the powerful violent winds that could slice him to pieces.

Xiao Lin understood this.

So he didn't bother her with questions when she sat down in the cross-legged position to cultivate.

He would ask her later when she had replenished her energy why they had to hurriedly leave the palace.

Some minutes later after the paleness on her skin had reduced, she stood up so they could continue flying.

She felt that they had to quickly leave this region as she felt that it was still unsafe for them.

"Mom, you still look pale. You should cultivate some more." Xiao Lin said considerately.

Xiao Lin's mother smiled.

Then she said "Only if you can understand some things, then you will comprehend why I am doing all these."

Xiao Lin didn't know what to say.

And he didn't want to argue with her as he didn't want to stress her.

"But mom, can you give me a small hint on what's actually happening? I want to understand something. I want to comprehend why we are going through all these." Xiao Lin said hurriedly and in a curious tone.

"I will tell you even if you didn't asked." Xiao Lin's mother said.

Then she continued "Actually, your father wants you dead."

Bang!

It was like another explosion occurred in Xiao Lin's mind.

He then staggered backwards for some feet from what his mother said without mincing words.

"W-What?!" He stuttered and screamed out in great shock and horror at the same time.

"W-Why would he want me dead?" Xiao Lin asked as great sadness suddenly surfaced in his heart and totally engulfed it.

"It's because of the animal spirit that you summoned which he felt was totally trash. He doesn't want to keep a son who will be useless to him and will ruin the reputation that he tried hard to build since many millennia ago. The thing is, he wants all his sons to do massive exploits for him. But since he felt that you can't and that you will only disgrace him, he decided to cut you off from the living" Xiao Lin's mother said in a very sad tone.

Xiao Lin staggered backwards again by some feet after hearing this.

"Is my f-father that ruthless? Even to his own child?" He asked in a stuttering manner.

"Son, I was greatly shocked when he ordered his guards to slaughter you. I heard this when I eavesdropped on the discussion that some of his older wives were having with each other."

"So son, from what I heard many moments ago at the palace, I can confidently say that your father will certainly be ruthless to his own children, just so that he can keep his own face from being publicly destroyed."

"Also, if the other ones who are your blood brothers develop fault in their cultivation journey, he might possibly cut them off too." Xiao Lin's mother said with unhappiness in her face.

Xiao Lin didn't ask or say anything this time. He only looked at her and waited for his mother to catch her breath so she could continue with what she wanted to reveal to him.

"Lin'er, the thing is, my status in that palace cannot match that of his other wives. I am an ordinary concubine. I was forced into marrying him when my family were going through a lot and urgently needed help. So, I was made against my own will to marry him. I was forced to sacrifice myself for my family" Xiao Lin's mother said sadly with tears beginning to form in her eyes.

Then she looked at her son with her glistening eyes which had tears beginning to well up in them.

"Lin'er, I am really sorry for this kind of rough life that I put you in. I am very sorry" She said with grief radiating off of her voice.

Xiao Lin who was shocked by his mother's second statement didn't say anything.

He only went forward to embrace her and then used his thumbs to wipe away the tears that had began to stream down her face.

"Mom, I understand everything now. Because of his damned ego, he doesn't want me since he believes that I am trashy due to the animal spirit that I summoned. But mom, I promise you today that I will prove to him that I am not trashy, and he will be forced to accept you back and make you his wife." Xiao Lin said with an unbreakable resolve.

Xiao Lin's mother who was crying broke into a smile. However, her smile still gave hints of sadness.

"Dear son, you don't need to prove anything to me or to anyone. You are simply the best thing that has ever happened to me. You are the best in the whole world and for eternity. Only if they could open their shut eyes to see the blinding radiance that you boundlessly emit." She said, praising her son.

"Lin'er, we have spoken enough. We need have to leave here now, or your father's men might catch up with us" Xiao Lin's mother said further while Xiao Lin nodded agreeably.

Then after condensing spiritual energy that erupted from her hands into a disc that Xiao Lin climbed upon and then hovered high into the air, they both jetted away at shocking speeds to a destination that she had mind.

But after flying for thirty minutes, a small group of people that consisted of both male and female who had swords, blades or katanas hung on their backs and around their waists, could be seen flying towards Xiao Lin and his mother with palpable murderous auras endlessly emanating from their bodies.

Xiao Lin's mother felt the thick murderous auras that had suddenly permeated her immediate surrounding. She then looked back to see to her shock and dread that a group of powerful killers called 'Murderous Blades' had quickly arrived behind them.

Then she knew it was over for them.

However, she was going to battle them to give her son that chance to escape and live his life.

Still flying at a great speed without stop, she projected her thought directly into her son's mind.

'Son, no matter what will happen to me, promise me that you will never come looking for me. Only come back when you are sure that you can beat your father. Farewell son.' She said in an extremely sad tone.

Then with the last wisp of spiritual energy in her dantian, she used it to shred apart a layer of space which she sent Xiao Lin into with the sole intention of causing him to appear in another region that was exceedingly far from here.

And as soon as she did this, she turned to face the group of people called Murderous Blades with an unbreakable resoluteness in her eyes.

Just when this group of people would split so that some could kill her while the rest would go after Xiao Lin, Xiao Lin's mother who knew how powerful these people were and that she wouldn't stand a chance against them due to their numbers, directly exploded the massive core of spiritual energy in her dantian.

BOOM!!!

An earth-shaking explosion took place that even the layer of space that Xiao Lin was sent in was shaken and then was knocked into another layer by many powerful tyrannical waves that had suddenly appeared immediately after the explosion occurred.
