Evil Master and Disciple

Chapter 1346 The Truth

After hearing Linglong's story, Ye Wei was completely stunned.

He finally understood why his mother had locked herself in her room after meeting with Uncle Yulong.

I understand why my mother aged and became so haggard in just a few days.

Just as her mother said, one of the most important reasons that kept her alive all these years was to avenge Ye Fuyou.

But now that we know Ye Fuyou didn't die back then, there's no point in talking about revenge.

If the beliefs that people hold dear suddenly collapse, the blow they suffer is unimaginable.

"So my father was alive all along..."

Ye Wei didn't know whether he should be happy or sad at that moment.

He has no memory of his father, Ye Fuyou. When they separated, he was just a newborn baby.

He participated in his mother's revenge entirely out of his sense of responsibility as a son.

Ye Wei should have been happy to learn that his father had been alive for over two hundred years.

However, Ye Wei felt immense heartache because his father had crippled himself by activating the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique.

It is heartbreaking and tragic that a person with disabilities could live for more than two hundred years.

Suddenly, Ye Wei's expression gradually turned somewhat astonished.

Linglong noticed the change in Ye Wei's expression and asked, "Wei'er, what's wrong?"

Ye Wei said, "Mother, you just said that Father is imprisoned in the stone cell behind the Discipline Hall of the Yunhai Sect?"

"Yes, that's what your Uncle Yulong told me."

"Ah, that... that old madman in the stone cell... could it be Father?"

"what?"

Linglong was somewhat confused.

Ye Wei said hoarsely, "I heard Feng'er say before that he often caused trouble in the Yunhai Sect and was often locked up in the stone cell behind the Discipline Hall by Uncle Yu Chen to reflect on his mistakes."

Feng'er said he met a crazy old man in the stone prison who had been imprisoned for many years, and that the old man was disabled in his hands and feet...

Inside the room, both mother and son fell silent.

They understood many things at that moment.

Ye Feng once told Ye Wei that the crazy old man in the stone cell of the Disciplinary Hall must be Ye Fuyou.

Behind this incident lies a chilling truth.

Within the entire Yunhai Sect, only Venerable Yunyi and Yuchenzi knew that Ye Fuyou was imprisoned in the stone cell of the Discipline Hall.

Ye Fuyou's identity is extremely special. The place where he is imprisoned is definitely the most secretive place in the Yunhai Sect, and it is absolutely impossible for him to contact outsiders.

But why is Ye Feng often locked up in the stone cell of the Disciplinary Hall?

Aren't you afraid of revealing that Ye Fuyou is still alive?

It should be noted that there were quite a few elders from the Yunhai Sect who followed Ye Fuyou through thick and thin back then, and even after many years, they still haven't forgotten Ye Fuyou.

If the elders of the Cloud Sea Sect who once followed Ye Fuyou were to learn of his whereabouts, they would surely step in to rescue him.

Why would Master Yunyi take such a great risk to repeatedly imprison Ye Feng, who had made numerous mistakes, in the same place where Ye Fuyou was imprisoned?

With a sect as large as Yunhai Sect, how could there possibly be a suitable place to imprison Ye Fuyou?

The only explanation is that Master Yunyi did it on purpose.

He deliberately imprisoned Ye Feng in the stone cell of the Discipline Hall where Ye Fuyou was located.

Why intentionally?

The truth was becoming clear to the mother and son.

Ye Wei asked in astonishment, "Shen Lin already knew about Feng'er's background?"

Linglong's expression was very complicated.

She did not speak.

Because her conclusion was consistent with Ye Wei's.

Master Yunyi deliberately imprisoned Ye Feng in the stone cell of the Discipline Hall where Ye Fuyou was, probably so that the grandfather and grandson could be alone together.

After a moment, Linglong spoke up: "Thirteen years ago, the Guo family was massacred by cultivators from Qinglong Mountain at the behest of Shen Lin. He knew that you, Wei'er, were Fuyou's son, and he was trying to silence you."

At that time, Yulong brought the young Feng'er back to the Yunhai Sect and took Feng'er as his true disciple, treating her as his own son.

"Given Shen Lin's intelligence and the pervasive influence of the Yunhai Sect's shadowy network, it wouldn't be difficult for him to discover that Feng'er is your son."

Ye Wei said, "Mother, don't you find it strange? Since Shen Lin already knew Feng'er's identity, why didn't he silence her? Instead, he allowed Feng'er to frequently enter the stone cell of the Discipline Hall?"

Was it really Shen Lin who ordered the massacre of the entire Guo family thirteen years ago? If he could tolerate the existence of me, Ye Fuyou's son, for over two hundred years, why would he suddenly want to kill me thirteen years ago?

Even if Shen Lin wanted to kill me, why would he send cultivators from Qinglong Mountain to do it? The Guo family's cultivation power isn't strong; he only needs to eliminate a few shadows. Why create unnecessary complications and use others?

Ye Wei's words left Linglong speechless.

Yes, there are too many irrationalities in this.

They hadn't paid attention to these details before.

Only now, when they guessed that Shen Lin already knew Ye Feng's identity, did they finally notice these details that had been overlooked for thirteen years.

A strong sense of unease lingered in the hearts of the mother and son.

They all felt that, besides Shen Lin, there was another invisible force at play.

Previously, they firmly believed that the person secretly instructing the cultivators of Qinglong Mountain must be Shen Lin.

Now they suddenly realized that perhaps it was someone else entirely.

There was another person, or a force, who did these things behind Shen Lin's back.

They are still unsure whether Shen Lin only knows Ye Feng's identity, or whether he knows that for thirteen years, all members of the Ye family escaped the massacre unscathed through disguise and doubles.

If Shen Lin didn't know that Ye Wei and the others were still alive, the situation would be even more complicated.

Silence, long silence.

Suddenly, Linglong seemed to have thought of something.

Her lips twitched slightly, as if she had caught a loose thread in this tangled mess.

However, Ye Wei was in a complicated and heavy mood at the moment and did not notice his mother's unusual expression.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Wei said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Mother, we can investigate this matter later. Now, there is something I need to confirm with you."

Linglong asked, "What is it?"

"Have you really decided to abandon your years of planning and completely sever ties with Shen Feiyang?"

Linglong didn't speak, but simply nodded silently.

She had hesitated before, but now that she realized she had been used as a pawn, she made a decision.

Seeing this, Ye Wei said, "Since you have made your decision, Mother, please leave Jiuhua Mountain as soon as possible and take the demon-subduing demon with you."

"what happened?"

"Last night, Feng'er told me that the cultivators of Yunhai Sect would launch an operation against Shiyou Temple and Shen Feiyang around midnight tomorrow. When the Yunhai Sect cultivators take action, I will be responsible for rescuing Uncle Yulong who is being held captive."

I haven't dared to tell you about this because I was worried that you would inform Shen Feiyang in advance, giving him time to prepare and putting Uncle Yulong in danger.

Now that you've made your decision, Mother, there's nothing left for me to hide..."
