Ye Haochuan originally didn’t want to waste too much time on these people, but since the other party wanted to fight, he wouldn’t shy away.

Just as the battle was about to ignite again, the first to strike was Liu Yu.

However, the target of his attack was neither Ye Haochuan nor Niu Kui, but the Old Woman who had her back turned to him the whole time.

Pfft~

Caught off guard, the Old Woman spewed a mouthful of blood, her aura dwindling to nothing.

"Liu Yu, you..." The Old Woman looked at Liu Yu in disbelief.

At this moment, after landing his blow, Liu Yu had already leaped to the side of Ye Haochuan and Niu Kui.

He sneered at the Old Woman and said, "It’s been ten years. Have you all forgotten that you forced me to be imprisoned here?"

Then, he turned to Ye Haochuan and said, "You two, we are friends, not enemies. Please help me kill these three!"

Ye Haochuan was taken aback by this sudden turn of events.

From what Liu Yu was saying, his relationship with these people seemed to be far more complicated than Ye Haochuan had imagined.

"Why should I help you?" Regardless of their relationship, Ye Haochuan’s impression of Liu Yu wasn’t good enough to help him without reason.

Liu Yu smiled and said, "The Purple Crested Crane is closely tied to me. Besides my words, it listens to no one. If you want to cross the river, it’s in your best interest to cooperate with me!"

Ye Haochuan was taken aback upon hearing this. If what Liu Yu said was true, then collaboration was indeed necessary. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"There are indeed benefits to cooperating with you, but I still want to know what exactly happened between you all. I won’t help a tyrant just for one benefit." Ye Haochuan laughed.

Although Ye Haochuan didn’t have a good impression of Yingzi’s family, their conflict didn’t seem to have escalated to life or death. At least, Yingzi’s family had never endangered his life.

Ye Haochuan disliked killing others, and the reasons now weren’t enough to make him want to kill Yingzi’s family.

Liu Yu recalled a moment and said, "Ten years ago, I was just passing by here. But just because of that fool’s words, their family teamed up to subdue me, forcing me to marry that fool, and used a secret technique to trap my cultivation, preventing it from advancing an inch for ten years."

"Then why didn’t you escape? If what you say is true, and the Purple Crested Crane is yours, you should have been able to escape if you wanted to, right?" Ye Haochuan asked calmly.

The Purple Crested Crane’s level wasn’t very high, but it was an exceptionally rare flying demon beast. In the Immortal Realm, even Immortal Transformation Stage cultivators couldn’t fly. As long as Liu Yu escaped on the Purple Crested Crane, no one here could catch up.

"I wanted to! But they fed me a type of poison. Whenever I thought of escaping, they could kill me at any time!" Liu Yu frowned.

Ye Haochuan felt even more curious and asked, "In that case, now that you’re doing this, aren’t you afraid they’ll kill you?"

Liu Yu smiled knowingly and said, "The poison requires this Old Poisonous Woman to control. I just shattered her Dantian. Without her Spiritual Energy and Flower Energy, she can’t control it anymore!"

Then, he looked at Ye Haochuan again and said, "Speaking of which, I still have to thank you. If it hadn’t been for how formidable you two are, she wouldn’t have focused all her attention on you, and I wouldn’t have had this chance!"

Only then did Ye Haochuan understand that Liu Yu was also a master at endurance, enduring daily submission and humility for ten years just to make the Old Woman and the others lower their guard.

Now, with his move and the threat posed by Ye Haochuan’s group to the Old Woman’s side, his plan finally succeeded.

"You ungrateful wretch! Even if we imprisoned your cultivation and freedom, we still betrothed our precious daughter to you, and yet you repay kindness with enmity!" The Old Woman said hatefully.

"Haha, you have the nerve to say that? Imprisoning my cultivation and freedom—don’t you know how important cultivation is to a cultivator?"

Liu Yu laughed wildly and said, "Moreover, your daughter is only a treasure in your eyes. She’s promiscuous; did you really think I didn’t know?"

With that, he seemed to recall something, and seeing the black-clad old man, he said, "By the way, I’ve witnessed something quite shocking, something you might want to hear!"

The black-clad old man, upon seeing his behavior, panicked and said, "Don’t!"

Liu Yu ignored him and laughed, "Your family, all of you, are beasts. Having an affair with your biological father—just thinking about it makes one feel sick!"

"What?"

As soon as Liu Yu finished speaking, everyone seemed to be struck by lightning on a clear day.

Damn, that’s just too perverted!

Ye Haochuan looked at the black-clad old man and then at Yingzi, and his mind involuntarily filled in some scenes.

He had already witnessed Yingzi’s charm. He hadn’t expected this woman to be so shameless.

At this moment, Yingzi finally didn’t have her usual arrogance, but instead, she hurriedly tried to explain to the Old Woman. The Old Woman ignored her, furiously questioning the black-clad old man, "You...how could you...she’s your biological daughter!"

The black-clad old man’s expression was conflicted, but he seemed to accept the exposure of this matter. Instead of panicking, he laughed wildly, "Biological daughter? Haha, do you really think I didn’t know whose child Yingzi is?"

With that, his gaze fixed fiercely on Old Wang.

"When...when did you find out?" The Old Woman asked in shock.

"I’ve known for a long time, but I was too lazy to argue with you. Anyway, you’re old, and having your daughter replace you to serve me isn’t so bad!" the black-clad old man snorted lightly.

Damn, this family ethics soap opera is truly brilliant!

Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but praise.

Ye Haochuan finally believed Liu Yu’s words: this family is full of beasts. And that Old Wang, indeed lived up to his surname, showing the "extraordinary skills" of the Wang Family next door.

"Alright, I’ve said all I need to say!" Liu Yu’s face turned cold, "You will undo my poison, and I may spare you for not treating me too badly for these ten years."

He wasn’t boasting. Although among the three elders, the black-clad old man was still untouched and Old Wang wasn’t badly injured, he really couldn’t beat them. But now, he had Ye Haochuan as an ally, so he didn’t need to take action himself.

Ye Haochuan made no objections or arguments about this, as he indeed needed Liu Yu’s Purple Crested Crane to cross the river; he had little choice but to support Liu Yu.

After learning about the relationship between the black-clad old man and Yingzi, the Old Woman seemed to age ten years in an instant but didn’t waste words, taking out a green pill and handing it to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu seemed to have no doubts about the pill and swallowed it straight away. In ten years, he must have become familiar with the antidote, knowing it was real.

After swallowing the pill, Liu Yu’s face turned slightly pale, and then his cultivation soared, breaking through to the Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage.

Ye Haochuan, being knowledgeable in medicine, instantly saw that his cultivation had been devoured and suppressed by the Sorcery Insect. Now that the insect was dead, his cultivation was returned to him, allowing him to break through.

Realizing this, Ye Haochuan began to be wary of Liu Yu. At the Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage, even teaming up with Niu Kui, they might not be opponents.

Fortunately, Liu Yu didn’t seem to intend to break his previous promise. He summoned the Purple Crested Crane and, in two trips, took Ye Haochuan and Niu Kui to the opposite shore.

He was the last one to leave, taking a meaningful look at the place where he had lived for ten years before turning away.

Clearly, although there were many grievances in those ten years, there were also some things worth reminiscing about.

After the three left, the Old Woman, Yingzi, and others remained silent. No one knew how they would continue living after the truth had been exposed.

After getting Ye Haochuan and Niu Kui across the river, Liu Yu said goodbye and left.

This guy isn’t simple either!

Ye Haochuan looked at Liu Yu’s departing figure and sighed, then headed towards Skywolf City in Anxi County with Niu Kui.
