Exposing Old Secrets (1)
The shock caused by his words was unimaginable; anyone who wasn't stupid could understand what he meant. According to him, a force even more powerful than Fu Xian Island was hiding in the Cultivation World, a force that wanted to unify the entire Cultivation World. It was this force that destroyed the Qingguang Sect, and this force was secretly controlled by the Hundred Flower Palace.
The crowd's expressions varied, a mixture of doubt and disbelief. Normally, if these words had been spoken, the Yan family father and son wouldn't have taken them seriously. Who could do anything about their baseless and fabricated claims? But unfortunately, not long ago, Fu Xian Island had suddenly invaded their territory and engaged in a fierce battle. Others might not know what Yue Qianchou was referring to, but Fu Xian Island had suffered a loss; surely they understood the implications?
The most crucial point is that even if their strength were truly greater than that of Fu Xian Island, it wouldn't matter. The key to determining strength lies in the number of late Tribulation Transcendence stage experts. They only have four, while Fu Xian Island has at least twenty. These twenty or more late Tribulation Transcendence stage experts are the real key to establishing Fu Xian Island as the number one in the world.
Whether Yue Qianchou truly knew or not, one thing was certain: this guy was pretending to be uninvolved, but he was actually deliberately causing trouble; otherwise, he wouldn't have blown the matter out of proportion. Yan Bugui angrily said, "Yue Qianchou, you are clearly slandering my Hundred Flower Palace! What are your true intentions?"
"Hmph!" Yue Qianchou sneered, "I had no ulterior motives, nor did I specifically name your Hundred Flower Palace. I doubt even the Palace Master of Hundred Flower Palace knows about this." He later inquired about some details with Xue Qingkong and guessed that the Yan family father and son had done it secretly, and the Hundred Flower Fairy was unaware of it.
The Hundred Flower Palace controls a powerful force, but the Palace Master of Hundred Flower Palace is unaware of this, which is rather strange...
Chou Wuyuan of the Myriad Demon Palace twitched a few times, looking at Yan Bugui with some suspicion. Could this be a scheme secretly set up by the sect, one that even he was unaware of? He couldn't help but recall the poisonous oath he had sworn when the Qingguang Sect was wiped out. If it really had something to do with the Myriad Demon Palace, wouldn't he really be doomed to a terrible death?
Quan Deming of Fu Xian Island also had a glint in his eyes, suspecting that it was Myriad Demon Palace that was behind the scheme. If what Yue Qianchou said was true, how could Hundred Flower Fairy, the Palace Master of Hundred Flower Palace, not know? This was clearly Yan's way of guarding against Fu Xian Island, or rather, targeting Fu Xian Island.
Yan Zixia bit her lip tightly. Firstly, because of her relationship with Yue Qianchou, she believed his words to some extent. Secondly, after so many years in the Hundred Flower Palace, she had more or less discovered that her father and brother had engaged in mysterious acts behind her mother's back, so it was indeed possible.
In short, the less Yue Qianchou explained, the more suspicious everyone became. Yan Zhuixing roared almost frantically, "Yue Qianchou, are you crazy? When did my Hundred Flower Palace offend you? Why are you framing my Hundred Flower Palace?" He knew what the consequences would be if this matter were confirmed. Not to mention the attacks from all factions, if his mother found out that he and his father had been doing such a thing behind her back, the family would probably fall apart.
Yue Qianchou sneered inwardly. Damn it! Everyone's hiding in the shadows, making a living by their own abilities. Of all people to impersonate, why did you have to pretend to be my 'Black Society'? If I don't deal with you, who will I deal with? Now you know the pain of being framed? Besides, what I said wasn't entirely a frame-up.
"Brother Yan, who are you calling crazy? Do you really want me to tear off the mask and expose everything?" Yue Qianchou's tone was icy. He was now seizing every opportunity to stir up trouble, fearing nothing more than a peaceful world. In fact, he himself hadn't realized that since gaining some power, he had become much bolder in his actions.
Yan Bugui, true to his cunning nature, had already figured things out. This Yue Qianchou probably knew quite a bit and was deliberately looking for trouble. If he picked up the conversation, he'd keep pressing the issue. The best course of action now was to avoid arguing; the more they argued, the more they'd suffer. They could deal with it later; this wasn't the time to resolve things in front of the various factions. He immediately raised an arm to stop his son, who was showing signs of agitation, and coldly said, "The truth will always come out eventually. Why argue endlessly now? Let's go."
"Stop!" Yue Qianchou shouted. He wouldn't let the Yan family father and son off so easily. Now that he had dragged them off the boat, the feud was set in stone. How could he not give them a final push? He'd better drown them.
"What else do you want?" Yan Bugui turned around and asked. He had come out to watch the commotion, suppressing his anger, but he never expected that his clothes would be torn off and that he would become the center of attention. Where was the justice in this? If there weren't so many people around, he would have killed Yue Qianchou long ago.
Yue Qianchou sneered, "There are some things I didn't want to say, but since someone called me crazy, I have to make things clear. As for whether I'm crazy or not, let everyone judge after I finish speaking."
Everyone stared at Yue Qianchou, clearly wanting to hear him finish speaking. Yan Bugui's heart skipped a beat, wondering what else he would say, and he immediately shouted angrily, "Who wants to listen to your nonsense? Get out of here! You are not welcome in Hundred Flower Valley."
"Wait a minute!" Quan Deming strolled over, a smile on his face. "Brother Yan, why get so worked up? We're all bored anyway, so there's no harm in listening. I don't believe him anyway, I just want to hear what he has to say."
"That's right, it won't hurt to listen..." Many people chimed in. If Yan Bugui to cover it up, it would be obvious that he had something to hide. He immediately snorted and stopped talking, but his mind was racing, trying to think of a way to deal with the situation.
Yue Qianchou didn't care about anything else. He strolled around leisurely and slowly said, "Actually, after I was expelled from Fu Xian Island, I didn't go anywhere else. I just cultivated in a deep mountain not far from Hundred Flower Valley. One day, when I was cultivating in a secluded place in a valley, a hole suddenly appeared on the ordinary mountain wall opposite me. I saw hundreds of masked men in black come out of it. With them was a Young Palace Lord from the Cultivation World. Since I knew that Young Palace Lord, although I was a little suspicious of their mysterious actions, I didn't do anything about it. After all, my situation at the time was not very good either."
All eyes immediately turned to Yan Zhuixing trembled with rage. However Yue Qianchou hadn't named anyone, and if he were to speak up now, it would be tantamount to admitting guilt. Quan Deming, his face grim, asked, "And then?"
Yue Qianchou paused, then continued, "But the next day I heard news that the Qingguang Sect had been attacked by hundreds of men in black. I immediately became suspicious, so I hid in that valley to observe. I even tried to go into the cave to investigate a few times, but I was blocked by some strange formation. I couldn't get in, so I had to stay hidden and continue observing. Sure enough, a few days later, hundreds more people came out of the cave, but they were all dressed in white, and there were fewer of them than the men in black. After they came out of the cave, they sneaked eastward. Although their cultivation was very high, they obviously didn't dare to be too conspicuous, so I followed them. What I saw next, you wouldn't believe."
Everyone was listening intently when he stopped again. Even Chou Wuyuan couldn't help but ask, "Brother Yue, what did you see? Tell me."
Yue Qianchou nodded and said, "These people actually went out to sea. I secretly followed them all the way to an island. Good heavens! That island was teeming with cultivators, easily over ten thousand. What surprised me most was that, despite my mid-stage Core Formation cultivation, I didn't see a single person with a lower cultivation level than me. Moreover, I occasionally saw people who could teleport, clearly indicating that their cultivation had reached the late Tribulation Transcendence stage. Fortunately, my body is different from ordinary people, making it difficult for them to be discovered. Otherwise, given their cultivation levels, they would have discovered me long ago, and I wouldn't have been able to return. At the time, I was hiding in a rock and happened to overhear two people talking nearby. It turned out that there were indeed over ten thousand people on this island. The earliest ones had been there for nearly one hundred and fifty years, all of whom were abducted using the Great Art of Natal Soul Stripping. Among them were Rogue Cultivator and disciples from various sects in the Cultivation World. I was secretly astonished, but then I overheard a shocking secret that startled me even more."
