Xiaoyaozi was taken aback when Ye Qingcheng dropped such bombshells right off the bat.

In front of Fang Han, he seemed like a spineless coward who was afraid of dying.

He was indeed a bit spineless, but in reality, he wasn't as embarrassing as the beautiful young woman Ye Qingcheng thought.

He was cunning. Fang Han wanted to pry into the secrets of the Su family mother and daughter, so he rushed to tell them in order to cover up the most crucial things while still making Fang Han believe him and saving him from death.

Fang Han used torture to make Ye Qingcheng beg for mercy, and he was already extremely uneasy because he knew that Ye Qingcheng could not withstand Fang Han's methods.

Now that Ye Qingcheng's mind was completely controlled by Fang Han, he felt fear.

"Decades ago, our Hehuan Sect was besieged by many sects. Our sacred grounds were breached, and many disciples were killed or captured. Many sects claimed to be righteous, but in reality, they came to our Hehuan Sect's sacred grounds to plunder rare treasures and even capture female disciples."

"Because everyone knows that if a female disciple of the Joyful Union Sect truly serves a man, it is absolutely a blessing for that man for life. Back then, when our sect leader was killed, a group of elders and disciples protected the Holy Maiden as she fled..."

But Ye Qingcheng continued speaking without any expression, completely unaware of what Xiaoyaozi was worried about at this moment.

"Junior sister, what nonsense are you making up? You can't just do this to avoid Mr. Fang killing you... I can't listen to this anymore..."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyaozi's expression changed drastically, and he quickly said to Ye Qingcheng.

He tried to make Ye Qingcheng come to her senses and stop revealing the core secrets of the Hehuan Sect.

"Smack!"

Fang Han casually waved his hand, and a stream of true energy swept towards Xiaoyaozi, who was kneeling on the ground.

Several finger marks appeared on Xiaoyaozi's face as he was sent flying.

"What are you afraid of? It seems you're not a coward, but a slippery one. If you stop Ye Qingcheng from revealing the secrets of Ouyang Yan, Su Qianyu, and the Hehuan Sect, I'll kill you first."

Fang Han instantly understood what kind of person Xiaoyaozi was, and a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

This Xiaoyaozi is indeed afraid of death, but he is very protective of the core secrets of the Hehuan Sect.

"Junior sister, wake up! You can't let Fang Han control your mind and do something detrimental to the Hehuan Sect!"

Despite Fang Han's threats, Xiaoyaozi continued to shout and yell.

But Ye Qingcheng seemed to have lost her hearing. No matter what Xiaoyaozi shouted, she didn't react at all and continued, "Our Hehuan Sect's Holy Maiden is the next sect leader designated by the sect leader. When the sect was destroyed, she was only a few years old..."

When she said this, Xiaoyaozi's face turned ashen, and he stood up and pounced on Ye Qingcheng.

Although Fang Han had sealed his true energy, he could still use some of his physical strength. Killing Ye Qingcheng, who was now almost powerless to resist, would be a piece of cake for him.

He formed his fingers into claws, ready to crush Ye Qingcheng's throat.

"court death!"

Just as Xiaoyaozi was about to pounce on Ye Qingcheng, Fang Han casually waved his hand, and a stream of true energy transformed into a blade of energy and slashed out.

Xiaoyaozi's arm was severed by the qi blade at shoulder level.

Fresh blood sprayed all over Xiaoyaozi's face.

Not only that, he was also thrown into the air and crashed more than ten meters away, barely alive.

"Junior sister, please...please don't say any more..."

Xiaoyaozi hasn't given up yet.

"Go on..."

Fang Han continued to control Ye Qingcheng's mind, said something to her, and then formed his five fingers into a claw, grabbing at Xiaoyaozi in mid-air.

He was performing a harmonious musical technique.

Xiaoyaozi was pulled in mid-air, and Fang Han grabbed his head directly.

This guy is at least a powerful cultivator in the Divine Sense stage; it would be a waste not to absorb his true energy.

"What...what are you doing..."

Xiaoyaozi felt his true energy being rapidly drained away by Fang Han, and he was filled with immense fear.

Fang Han said nothing more, and while absorbing Xiaoyaozi's true essence, he asked Ye Qingcheng, "Who is the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect?"

"The Holy Maiden is Miss Su Qianyu's mother, Ouyang Yan."

Ye Qingcheng showed no reaction to seeing Xiaoyaozi's hand being severed and his true energy being absorbed by Fang Han. She continued expressionlessly, "Back then, the Holy Maiden was a renowned genius in the Hehuan Sect. Everyone knew her name, but everyone called her the Holy Maiden. Even the disciples within the sect didn't know her real name, let alone those outside the Hehuan Sect. She was the sect leader's daughter, and her real name was Ouyang Yan. Back then, Senior Brother Xiaoyaozi, Junior Sister Qin Baiyun, and I escorted her to escape from that massacre. Then she went to the Heavenly Demon Sect and was taken in by them."

"In the blink of an eye, the Holy Maiden has been in the Heavenly Demon Sect for almost twenty years, growing into a great beauty. However, she was forcibly defiled by Cao Gaoyu, the Holy Son of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and became pregnant with Su Qianyu. But Cao Gaoyu did not give the Holy Maiden any official status, only wanting her to be his slave. The Holy Maiden could not bear it any longer and conspired with us to escape from the Heavenly Demon Sect. She accidentally escaped to this place and discovered Yin Yang Mountain and Yin Yang Tree. The Holy Maiden instructed us to hide in the mountain to cultivate and wait for the Yin Yang Tree to bloom and bear fruit so that we could improve our cultivation. The Holy Maiden is now at the peak of the Divine Sense Realm. If she obtains the Yin Yang Fruit, she can break through to the Yuan Dan Realm and rebuild our Hehuan Sect."

"She came to Tianyuan County twenty-one years ago. At that time, the Holy Maiden was already four months pregnant. She endured humiliation and married Su Yuande, the head of the Su family, keeping a very low profile. Half a year later, she gave birth to Miss Su Qianyu. Unexpectedly, the child had Yin energy condensed in her body, and even with the Holy Maiden's supernatural powers, it was still difficult to cure. But later, the Holy Maiden accidentally discovered that you were born with a pure Yang body, so she set her sights on you. However, she did not want to show her face, so she asked Su Yuande to find the Zhao family and join forces with them to plot against you and the Fang family. As for what happened after that, you probably know."
