The person Zhong Yulong tossed out was a woman, disheveled and in a wretched state.
Her hair was loose, her clothes were in disarray and seemed stained with blood. Her aura was extremely weak, and her face was deathly pale. Anyone with eyes could see that this woman had undoubtedly suffered inhuman torture.
Could this person be the so-called evidence Feilu spoke of?
Who was this woman?
No one knew.
At the very least, few among the gathered crowd recognized her.
However, when Han Dong and Ouyang Ye clearly saw the woman lying on the ground, it was as if they had been struck by lightning. Their faces instantly turned ashen.
Because the woman was none other than Bai Ling'er.
She was also the Sister Ling'er who had previously impersonated the Chiyan Young Lord for the first time to help Han Dong.
Perhaps because these past days had been filled with constant anxiety, both Han Dong and Ouyang Ye had almost forgotten about Bai Ling'er's existence.
Previously, when Bai Ling'er impersonated the Chiyan Young Lord, it was entirely by chance—a case of being forced into action. She did it to help Han Dong out of an urgent predicament. Later, because she was pregnant, Han Dong, not wanting to implicate her, persuaded her to return home and rest peacefully for her pregnancy.
Yet, Han Dong and Ouyang Ye never imagined that Feilu would find Sister Ling'er.
The moment Han Dong clearly saw Sister Ling'er, she finally understood what Feilu meant by 'evidence'.
She knew.
This time, it was over.
Sister Ling'er knew everything about the impersonation of the Chiyan Young Lord. And judging by Feilu's attitude, he must have learned the truth as well.
As for the consequences...
Han Dong didn't know. At this moment, she had no time, nor any mind to consider that. The instant Zhong Yulong threw Sister Ling'er out, she rushed over without a second thought. Looking at Sister Ling'er's utterly wretched and weak state, Han Dong's heart was filled with immense guilt and self-reproach.
"Han Dong...
I'm sorry...
I...
I didn't mean to reveal your secret...
It was them...
They captured my husband and child, they threatened me...
If...
if I didn't tell the truth, they...
they would...
kill my husband and child...
Sister truly let you down..."
"No!
Sister Ling'er, it's I who should be sorry!"
Han Dong's voice trembled as she asked, "Where are your husband and child now?"
"They...
they are both...
both safe for now!"
Hearing that Sister Ling'er's husband and child were unharmed, the tension in Han Dong's nerves finally eased.
"Sister Ling'er, wu wu...
It's all my fault..."
Beside them, Ouyang Ye's eyes reddened the moment she saw Sister Ling'er. She too was filled with regret, regretting that she had ever asked Sister Ling'er to impersonate the Chiyan Young Lord. If not for that, Sister Ling'er would never have suffered such torment.
"You bastards!"
In her fury, Ouyang Ye's body shimmered with multicolored radiance, as if stirring the surrounding Great Natural Order itself. For a moment, the sky darkened, winds howled, clouds churned, and lightning flashed with thunderous roars.
The heavens themselves had changed!
Witnessing this scene, everyone present was greatly alarmed. They had all heard that Ouyang Ye possessed extraordinary affinity with the Great Natural Order, that her emotions could stir natural phenomena. However, many had never seen it firsthand. Seeing it now with their own eyes, they found it incredibly wondrous. Even the reincarnated great powers within the crowd were shocked.
However.
The startling change in the Great Natural Order lasted only an instant.
Ouyang Ye did not attack. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but Qian Shan stopped her.
Qian Shan knew the situation was unfavorable for them, but thankfully, it hadn't yet reached an irredeemable point. If Ouyang Ye were to attack now, chaos would inevitably erupt within the gathering, and there would be no turning back from this matter. At that point, Yaoyue Palace, Hunyuan Gate, the Huwei Wang Family, and even the Immortal Office and the Crimson-Letter Sect might all take action.
That wasn't the most important thing.
What mattered was that she knew Ouyang Ye currently had no control over her Great Natural Order affinity. Not only could she not control it, but it would also cause a drastic change in her temperament, making her akin to a frenzied demon. This was Qian Shan's greatest concern. Before coming, Su Hua had repeatedly warned her not to let Ouyang Ye lose control, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, causing incalculable damage to both Ouyang Ye herself and the Great Natural Order.
Feilu and the others from Yaoyue Palace watched the sudden change in the Great Natural Order, their expressions shifting repeatedly. But that was all; they showed little fear.
Indeed.
Under normal circumstances, they might have been wary of Ouyang Ye's unbelievable affinity with the Great Natural Order.
But with so many experts present now, they naturally had nothing to fear.
"Everyone probably doesn't know yet, but the woman you see before you is none other than the renowned Chiyan Young Lord!
Hahaha!"
Elder Feilu's triumphant laughter rang out, causing everyone present to freeze. Immediately, someone voiced their doubt.
"Feilu, do you take us all for blind?
Although this woman also has Golden Core cultivation, aside from that, she has nothing else. How could she be the Chiyan Young Lord?"
"Men and women are inherently different; their natural spiritual auras are distinct. No matter how she impersonates the Chiyan Young Lord, she cannot conceal the feminine softness in her aura."
"Don't be hasty, everyone. I haven't finished speaking."
Elder Feilu stroked the beard on his chin and smiled. "Several months ago, the two juniors Han Dong and Ouyang Ye began looking for someone to impersonate the Chiyan Young Lord. And the person they found was none other than Bai Ling'er. However, Bai Ling'er is, after all, a woman. No matter how well a woman tries to impersonate a man, the innate spiritual aura will always leave traces. Even if they had a powerful expert backing them, it would be useless. Knowing they couldn't keep up the deception for long, the two of them found another person to continue impersonating the Chiyan Young Lord—the very person who slaughtered the various elders and direct disciples at the foot of Wuse Mountain."
Hearing Feilu reveal the truth, everyone present felt it was unbelievable.
They also couldn't understand.
If what Feilu said was true, and the Chiyan Young Lord was previously impersonated by this Bai Ling'er—a mere Golden Core cultivator—then how could she have injured several Daozun with a single move in the main hall of Yaoyue Palace?
When someone raised this question, Elder Feilu continued, "As I said earlier, there is a powerful expert manipulating things behind the scenes. That expert is an evil demonic ghost. On the surface, others impersonate the Chiyan Young Lord, but in truth, it is that evil demonic ghost who is truly impersonating him. It possesses the bodies of those impersonators to act, using the impersonator's flesh and some sinister methods to create illusions."
Someone asked, "So, you're saying that the person who injured several Daozun in the main hall of Yaoyue Palace months ago, and the one who crushed the Great Natural Order treasure at Little Fold Mountain Villa, was neither this Bai Ling'er nor the so-called Gu Qingfeng? The true impersonator of the Chiyan Young Lord was that evil demonic ghost?"
"Exactly!"
Elder Feilu nodded. "Moreover, I am almost certain that the person who killed Elder Fenglie in the swamp that day must also have been that evil demonic ghost. Even the one who acted at Wuse Mountain must have been possessed by that evil demonic ghost! The so-called Bedrock Physique, the so-called Absolute Force, the so-called unparalleled mastery of Musical Arts—they were all illusions created by that evil demonic ghost using sinister methods!"
Perhaps this matter was too unbelievable, or perhaps the truth was too bizarre, leaving everyone present with a sense of incredulity.
