Ye JianHan’s question was something that Ling Xuan would never forget in his lifetime.
Although he didn’t know exactly what he meant, his strong intuition gave off a warning signal, making him clearly aware that there was some hidden meaning which he didn’t know about and which was extremely important.
Ye JianHan continued to say: “Let me guess, was it from a very hidden place? Somewhere like a cave? Did anything strange happen there? For example, a strange creature that rose up from the ground?”
Although he asked it like a question, everything that came from his mouth was basically the truth.
Don’t mention Ling Xuan, even Chu MuYun was stunned by his words.
Zerobaby: “My God!! What is going on!!! Σ( ° △°|||)!”
Chu MuYun: “…”
Zero: “Begging for answers! Host, please tell me what is going on quickly!”
Chu MuYun didn’t say anything. The facts were plain to see. Ye JianHan knew everything just as he knew about the technique of substitution, but the question was how did he know?
Ling Xuan didn’t need to reply but his expression alone said everything.
Ye JianHan smiled slightly and murmured softly from his thin lips: “His affections really run very deep.”
Ling Xuan suddenly narrowed his eyes, glared at Ye JianHan and asked, “What the hell is going on? How do you know about it?!”
Ye JianHan turned his head and looked at Chu MuYun.
Chu MuYun was looking back at him without blinking.
The two looked at each other, gazing into each other’s eyes, but they couldn’t see into each other completely.
Ye JianHan made up his mind to go to the very end: “Why does your Ah-Mu like Ling SuYun? Since you want to know so much, I’ll tell you. His heart is tied to you and for you he has spent thousands of years and devoted untold effort. The goal is just one thing: to give you freedom.”
Ling Xuan’s pupils shrank sharply and his expression was shell-shocked: “My freedom has never been restrained.”
Ye JianHan looked at him: “I’m afraid you didn’t even have consciousness when you were trapped.”
This one sentence left Ling Xuan speechless.
This old god Ye JianHan was playing with the spirit guide grass in his palm. He said slowly: “Thousands of years ago, Ling Mu found the you who was trapped and broke the formation to rescue you. You were together for a while and became lovers… but those good days didn’t last long. When Ling Mu wanted to take you away, he found that there was a monster suppressed under this formation and it was extremely fierce. After that, how many more years did you continue to stay in that cave?”
He paused slightly to think about it and then continued: “I’m guessing it wasn’t too long. After all, your Ah-Mu is so knowledgeable and even knows the long-lost substitution technique.”
“Oh.” He looked at Ling Xuan and smiled, “I haven’t told you what substitution technique is, right? This thing is full of malice and selfishness. In order to replace you, in order to give you freedom, your Ah-Mu is really something. He didn’t hesitate at all to pay the price, take a life and turn into a half-dead tomb guardian and even suppress the energies/majesty of tens of thousands of people.”
How clever was Ling Xuan? He immediately understood what Ye JianHan was alluding to.
And Ye JianHan also didn’t want to leave him any room to misunderstand. “Ling SuYun is your substitute and Ling Mu himself became the tomb guardian. As for the energies of those 10,000 people… LingYun Sect has hundreds of thousands of monks under his command.”
Now that he’s said this, approximately everything has been revealed.
Chu MuYun couldn’t bear it: “Nonsense! It’s absolutely ridiculous!”
Ye JianHan shrugged and said to Ling Xuan, “See? In order not to burden you and in order to give you real ‘freedom’, he was not even willing to tell you the truth. He just bore it all silently, paying the price by himself…”
“That’s because there’s no truth to this at all!” Chu MuYun was exasperated.
Ye JianHan didn’t look at him and only asked Ling Xuan gravely: “Have the things I said happened? Did Ling Mu leave suddenly? Did he abandon you just when the two of you were the most close? Then he left for nearly a hundred years. Then when you saw him again, Ling SuYun was beside him and Ah-Mu seemed to put all his heart on him.”
It was exactly right. Many things that Ling Xuan could not figure out after thinking about them for a thousand years suddenly became clear at this moment. The truth that appeared after the mist dissipated was jaw-dropping.
“Do you know how the corresponding body comes to be? It is to take a wisp of a wandering soul from your body, nourish it with his heart, and spend a lot of time, not to mention, there countless mental strength until the wandering soul merges with the host body. Only then will the corresponding body be considered effective.”
“Do you know what the tomb guardian is? He is like a sacrifice on an altar, being trapped there alive, never entering reincarnation, waiting for the suppressed monster to break through the cage and swallow it completely, because ah… he has accepted the hatred that should have been placed on the formation source.”
“Oh and the source of the formation is you, Ling Xuan…” Ye JianHan sighed, “How lucky are you? You obtained such a good man’s infatuation.”
Everything he said was true, he had completely guessed it all and not a single part was missing!
Zero: “My-my god… Lord Gluttony knows so much, how come?!”
Compared to the total shock of Zerobaby, Chu MuYun calmed down instead.
From this speech, he captured a key point.
Ye JianHan said that he had been away for nearly a hundred years and when he came back, Ling SuYun was beside him. This meant that he thought that he had spent a hundred years searching for the corresponding body.
But it wasn’t right because Chu MuYun hadn’t left in the past century but only kept his name anonymous. He remotely controlled the LingYun Sect behind the scenes and through Ling Shan, he pushed forth and transformed the once obscure LingYun Sect.
From this, it can be seen that Ye JianHan did not actually know all the facts. But he had deduced and analyzed the facts that he controlled, bit by bit, working his way backwards.
He was obsessed with questioning Ling Xuan. It can be seen from this that he did not really know the truth of some of the things he said but, by using his words to attack Ling Xuan, he would obtain answers from his reactions.
But even so, it was already very amazing.
Spirit guide grass, puppet art, corresponding body, majesty of ten thousand people, the tomb guardian, alternative art, array source… just a few words, just arranged in order, he has deduced the truth. This type of logical thinking ability is simply terrifying!
Although Chu MuYun deliberately used Ye JianHan to let Ling Xuan know the truth, at this moment, after seeing his abilities, his assessment of Ye JianHan had completely changed.
It was no easy task to defeat this man.
Ling Xuan’s whole body froze and the shock he received was not something anyone could comprehend.
Ye JianHan finally looked at Chu MuYun: “Do you know why I told him this?”
Chu MuYun stared at him with narrowed eyes.
Ye JianHan smiled maliciously: “Because, I don’t want to give Ling Xuan freedom.”
After finally realizing the deep meaning of this sentence, Chu MuYun’s pupils shrank sharply and a chill came up on his back. He reacted extremely quickly and attacked swiftly but he was still a step too slow.
Ye JianHan easily swallowed his strength, making him watch the emerald-colored spirit guide grass turn into ash.
He actually destroyed the spirit guide grass!
