"At that time, I was still inexperienced, and I didn’t have much suspicion about Xiao Yu’s younger brother, my junior apprentice brother. Seeing how distressed he was about Xiao Yu’s illness, I didn’t say much else and let him stay. Over the following years, Xiao Yu’s condition became erratic and worsened rather than stabilized like before. I was always puzzled as to why she had become ; she had taken all her prescribed medicine and her treatments were never delayed. Why was she not getting any lighter but instead getting heavier? It was not until one day when my senior brothers and I came back early from dealing with matters outside that I learned the truth about everything. That beast, he, he was actually harming Xiao Yu!"
An Yiqing felt a chill in her heart, and a slow disbelief crept into her eyes, "How could this... " Before she could finish, An Yiqing closed her mouth.
How could there be such a terrifying, such a crazed person in this world?! An Yiqing simply couldn’t imagine what other atrocities Yu Hai, such a beast, was capable of!
Recalling the unbearable scene from those years, Ye Chenghong was filled with murderous intent, clenching his fists tightly, grinding his teeth in hatred as he said, "That day, I and four senior apprentice brothers went out to save some people. During that period, children in Xuandu City kept disappearing, and when they were found, they were all on the brink of death. Everyone in the Medicine Sect was particularly busy then, and to see Xiao Yu sooner, I came back early with your four Elder uncles after curing the patients. Just after returning, I turned to check on Xiao Yu, only to hear strange noises coming from her room. Fearing something had happened to her, I rushed in without a second thought, only to discover... that beast doing such a thing! I was enraged, having lost all reason, and wanted to slap him to death with one palm! But to my surprise, Yu Hai’s cultivation had become incredibly powerful, almost equal to my own strength! Logically, even if Yu Hai had outstanding talent, he shouldn’t have progressed so rapidly unless he had resorted to some sinister practices."
Ye Chenghong took a deep breath, suppressing the anger and pain in his heart, and continued, "At that time, I showed no mercy, and he had no intention of sparing me. The two of us fought fiercely, and the rest of the Medicine Sect couldn’t intervene. Gradually, I noticed some issues with Yu Hai, the Cultivation Techniques and moves he used were not from our Medicine Sect. Our sect’s techniques are righteous and robust, yet I felt an intense evil aura in Yu Hai’s Inner Breath. Only those who practice evil arts would possess such an evil energy. Furthermore, these evil arts required the fresh blood of boys and girls as a catalyst to be cultivated! Thinking back to the frequent disappearances of children in Xuandu City during that time, what more was there for me not to understand!"
At this point, not only was Ye Chenghong’s emotion charged, but even the emotions of the four Great Elders and Nie Shan were stirred, and even the typically composed An Yiqing felt a chill in her palms.
Those children knew nothing, taken away for no reason, and bled until they were barely clinging to life. Such a shadow was a nightmare that would haunt them for the rest of their lives!
From where on earth did Yu Hai learn such evil arts, to become so depraved and demented!
An Yiqing took a sharp breath, striving to suppress the burning in her heart, and asked softly, "Master, what happened after that?"
