The main peak of the Reflecting Moon Sect.
Gan Hong returned to his residence with a somber expression. He had previously thought that only the senior on the main peak of Yingyue Sect could threaten him, and that senior had promised that she would not make a move as long as Ye Chen did not leave Yingyue Sect.
Therefore, he did not believe that anyone else in the Moon Reflection Sect could pose a threat to him.
However, to his utter surprise, there was another being hidden in the Heavenly Phoenix Pavilion that he could not contend with!
Gan Hong was certain that the two were not the same person, but the pressure he felt from the other party was no less than that of the senior on the main peak. He was probably at least a high-level Saint in the Life and Death Realm.
"Sigh... I never expected to get caught up in such a huge vortex."
Gan Hong sighed inwardly. Based on what he knew, this was probably a contest between top powers caused by Chi Yuan and Ye Chen, and Ye Chen's side was likely the weaker party.
This situation is very serious.
It is said that when gods fight, mortals suffer. For these holy land-level forces that possess high-level saints, isn't he, a first-level saint, just a mortal?
A battle of this caliber, even the slightest ripples from it, would be enough to obliterate him and the entire Daqian royal family.
What was initially thought to be a tremendous opportunity has now turned out to be nothing but a trap!
Thinking of Chi Yuan's incredible performance when he broke into the Netherworld, Gan Hong was uneasy. Chi Yuan had Gan Zhen and Gan Jun on his side, so it might not affect the entire Da Gan royal family. However, if his lineage continued to support Ye Chen, they would probably face annihilation.
what to do?
Is giving up on Ye Chen the only option?
Gan Hong's gaze flickered uncertainly. It seemed he needed to go and see what that senior's attitude was before making a decision.
Just as he was thinking this, a bone-chilling cold suddenly struck him. Gan Hong's mind sharpened, and before he could react, his body was swept away by an invisible spatial force and disappeared from the spot.
The next moment, Gan Hong appeared in Ye Chen's room. At this time, the roof and all the edges of Ye Chen's room were shrouded in a cold black mist, and the light was very dim. Only an oil lamp on the table in the middle burned with a cold flame, illuminating half of the room.
Beside the table, a woman with a slightly aged face stood quietly with her eyes closed beside Ye Chen.
"Junior Gan Hong pays respects to senior."
Upon seeing Rong Xuanqing, Gan Hong immediately bowed respectfully to him.
Once you reach the Saint rank, the difference between each minor realm is enormous. The difference between the second and first ranks is even greater than the difference between the Venerable and Sect ranks. You Rong Xuanqing is at least a high-ranking Saint who is six ranks higher than him, so the difference is unimaginable. Naturally, he dares not address You Rong Xuanqing as an equal.
"I have come to find you two only to give you a chance to live."
You Rongxuanqing spoke slowly, "However, before that, there are some things I need to tell you."
After saying that, she looked at Ye Chen and said, word by word, "Ye Chen, do you know your true background?"
Ye Chen was startled, and after hesitating for a long time, he weakly replied, "This junior does not know."
"There's no need to hide it from me. The cultivation technique you practice is the Blood Demon Scripture, and the Heaven-Rank spiritual skills you use also come from the Blood Demon lineage. This proves that you have received the inheritance of the Blood Demon Saint Ancestor Lin Xiao. If that's the case, you must have already come into contact with his divided soul and been told your true background by him."
You Rongxuanqing said calmly, having already figured out Ye Chen's background.
"Ye Chen, don't try anything funny in front of her. If she wants to harm you, even a hundred of me couldn't protect you!"
Gan Hong said urgently in a low voice.
Ye Chen's expression hardened, and he immediately told You Rongxuanqing the truth.
After listening to Ye Chen's story, You Rongxuanqing was not surprised and asked, "You only know that you are a descendant of the Blood Demon Ancestor, but do you know who your biological parents are?"
This time, Ye Chen truly didn't know, and shook his head, saying, "This junior doesn't know."
"Your father's name is Lin Gan, and your mother's name is Yao Yanhong. They were instructed by your adoptive father, Ye Tianxiao, to murder Ye Tianxiao's first wife, You Rongqingcheng, who is also the biological mother of your three older sisters."
"You Rongqingyan learned of this truth more than ten years ago, and secretly killed your biological parents. Several years later, she secretly sabotaged your cultivation, causing you to lose all your power."
You Rongxuanqing revealed the truth that Ye Chen did not know.
"What?!"
Upon hearing the truth, Ye Chen was struck dumb, standing there speechless.
He couldn't believe it. The person he once regarded as his own mother had actually killed his biological parents with her own hands, and even secretly harmed him, causing him to lose all his cultivation?!
"My mother, she..."
Ye Chen felt as if his heart was being torn apart. No wonder Rong Qingyan's attitude towards him changed drastically more than ten years ago. No wonder the ancestor warned him to be careful of Rong Qingyan. It turned out that he and Rong Qingyan had such a deep-seated hatred between them!
"You must not understand why the Divine Firmament Sect sent you to the Reflecting Moon Sect for five years of training. This was also Rong Qingyan's doing."
You Rongxuanqing spoke calmly, then suddenly changed the subject: "Do you know my identity?"
Ye Chen shook his head absentmindedly.
“My name is You Rong Xuan Qing, and I am the patriarch of the You Rong clan.”
The patriarch of the You Rong clan?!
Ye Chen and Gan Hong's expressions changed upon hearing this. There was no doubt that the former had an irreconcilable hatred with the You Rong clan, and You Rong Xuanqing, as the clan leader, had every reason to kill Ye Chen to eliminate any potential threat.
You Rongxuanqing, however, seemed completely unrelated to the matter, like an outsider, and continued to tell Ye Chen the background of his training at Yingyue Sect.
Although she deliberately concealed some key information, giving a general outline was enough. Her purpose was simply to incite Ye Chen's hatred towards Chi Yuan and You Rong Qingyan, and to put pressure on Chi Yuan.
"So...it was all because of him!"
Having learned the whole truth, Ye Chen clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with intense hatred.
Only now did he realize the dire situation he was facing. If he couldn't defeat Chi Yuan in the next five years, he would surely face certain death!
Sensing Ye Chen's overwhelming hatred and killing intent, You Rongxuanqing nodded in satisfaction. This was the effect she wanted. To prevent Ye Chen from having any illusions, she added fuel to the fire, saying, "You have four years left. During these four years, you can leave the Yingyue Sect and use any means to deal with Chi Yuan. As long as you can kill him, you can escape your fate and find a way to survive."
"But if he's still alive four years from now, I'll end your life myself!"
Without concealing his murderous intent, You Rong Xuanqing uttered a single sentence, then dispelled the black mist in the room and vanished.
"Chi Yuan, I will fight you to the death!"
Ye Chen's eyes were filled with murderous intent. He had no other thoughts now, and his mind was only focused on one thing: killing Chi Yuan!
...
Above the Yingyue Sect, a woman's figure, invisible to everyone, appeared out of thin air. She looked at the location of Ye Chen's residence and said with a slight smirk, "He is, after all, the descendant of my good-for-nothing disciple. I should give him a hand. Besides, what's the fun in a one-sided crushing? A contest between evenly matched opponents is much more interesting."
As she spoke, Liu Ruyan gently raised her hand, and a Gu worm glowing with a bluish light appeared in her palm. She gently stroked the jade Gu worm, and then lightly tossed it out, "Go, Hate Heaven Gu."
