Lü Yang now understood the whole story.
From his point of view, however, the conflict between the Master of Heaven Mending Peak and Lady Ruoxiang over their children wasn't without a potential compromise.
For example, Lady Ruoxiang could have simply committed suicide and reincarnated before her natural lifespan ended. She could then use a Secret Technique, through her children, to awaken her reincarnated self. Afterward, the Master of Heaven Mending Peak could use the children for his tribulation, thus maximizing their utility... but to do that, they would need to have a certain amount of mutual trust.
Evidently, Lady Ruoxiang and the Master of Heaven Mending Peak lacked the trust needed to place their lives in each other's hands.
But that was to be expected.
This was the Stain Sect, after all. How could anyone truly trust each other? Most people either held leverage over one another or only cooperated when they had common interests.
