South Mountain Old Demon, revealed to be a Peak Divine Emperor, confronts the Guo family after they disrespect Ye Chenfeng. When the Guos threaten Ye Chenfeng, South Mountain Old Demon kills Guo Tianming. The Guos, enraged, call for aid from other forces, but the arrival of Ye Chenfeng's own Peak Divine Emperor allies silences everyone.

The situation really was full of twists and turns.

No one had expected Ye Chenfeng’s people to have concealed their cultivation. There were actually four experts at the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm?

And two of the women were calling Ye Chenfeng "husband"? While two of the men were calling Ye Chenfeng "master"?

This practically blinded everyone present! Just who the hell was this kid? Was he really from the Middle Realm?

Could a mere brat from the Middle Realm have two women at the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm? And also two servants at the Peak of the Divine Emperor Realm?

The experts who had just agreed to lend the Guos a hand were completely dumbfounded; a wave of regret rapidly surged up in their hearts. Four Peak Divine Emperor experts were enough to sweep across the entire Sky Pole City. They were basically complaining that their lives were too long!

Ye Chenfeng looked at Guo Anqian and the others from the Guos and said, "What’s wrong? Not going to make a move?"

His voice entered the ears of the Guos, jolting Guo Anqian and the others back to their senses.

Guo Anqian, Guo Lie, Guo Li, Zhou Mei and the rest all had extremely ugly expressions. They now understood why the Old Monster of South Mountain was willing to call Ye Chenfeng his benefactor. So Ye Chenfeng was this formidable—protected by four Peak Divine Emperor Realm experts. Even in the Upper World, that was enough to establish a firm footing.

Ye Chenfeng looked at the Old Monster of South Mountain and said, "You handle everything here. What happened back then has always been a knot in your heart; you need to unravel it with your own hands."

Cang Peng, Chou Xiong, Lan Yun, and Xue Ningsi spread out. If anyone dared to run at this time, they didn’t mind killing on the spot.

After the atmosphere sank into silence for a moment.

Guo Lie finally spoke. He glared at the Old Monster of South Mountain. "Guo Anyan, don’t forget that the blood flowing in your body is also the Guos’ blood. What are you trying to do? Are you planning to commit a heinous act of treason and rebellion?"

Hearing that Ye Chenfeng had left the matter to Guo Anyan to handle, Guo Lie and the rest knew there might still be a turn for the better.

The Old Monster of South Mountain’s younger uncle, Guo Li, also said, "An Yan, everything you did back then was your own fault. If you still count as a person, then you should wake up right now. You are a member of the Guos—this will never change. It’s not too late to turn back now."

Guo Anqian and Zhou Mei chose not to speak. They knew very clearly that back then they were the ones who had set the trap to frame the Old Monster of South Mountain, Guo Anyan. If they opened their mouths now, it might make things even worse.

The Guos’ change in attitude only made the Old Monster of South Mountain feel it was laughable in the extreme. Was he in the wrong? Had he been in the wrong back then? From beginning to end, in the eyes of the Guos he’d been nothing but trash, trash that no one would ever look straight at.

Back then, not a single person had been willing to believe him, not even his own father. Even his meridians and cultivation had been abolished by his own biological father.

As scenes from those years kept replaying in his mind, the rage in his heart was about to explode. The look in his eyes grew darker and darker, and his voice was hoarse: "Even now, you still think what happened back then was my fault? I said it before—I was framed. I have no need to lie now. I came today just to clear my own name."

Ye Chenfeng glanced at the Old Monster of South Mountain. "Want me to help you restore the truth of what happened back then?"

The Old Monster of South Mountain said respectfully, "I’ll trouble you, benefactor."

Ye Chenfeng said to Cang Peng and the others, "If anyone dares to move, kill without mercy."

As his words fell.

Ye Chenfeng’s figure appeared in front of Zhou Mei in an instant.

Zhou Mei only had cultivation at the Half-step Divine Emperor level. In front of Ye Chenfeng she had absolutely no ability to resist.

A surging aura burst out from Ye Chenfeng’s body, enveloping Zhou Mei and making it completely impossible for her to move.

Seeing his own mother restrained, Guo Anqian’s aura instantly rose within his body. But he immediately felt a Peak Divine Emperor Realm pressure bearing down on him. He saw Cang Peng and Chou Xiong itching to act, and knew that if he dared to move even a little, he would be executed on the spot.

Seeing his wife restrained by Ye Chenfeng, Guo Lie roared at the Old Monster of South Mountain, "What the hell are you going to do? Back then you committed that worse-than-an-animal act, and now you come back making such a big scene—are you even human anymore?"

Hearing this.

The Old Monster of South Mountain let out a bitter laugh. "Back then you personally abolished my meridians and cultivation. I really do doubt whether I’m actually your son."

As the Old Monster of South Mountain was speaking.

Ye Chenfeng’s palm was already pressed against Zhou Mei’s forehead, and rolling Spiritual Energy immediately surged into Zhou Mei’s Sea of Consciousness.

This was a special type of Soul Search, one level higher than ordinary Soul Search.

Anyone who went through this kind of Soul Search would almost certainly become an idiot.

The special aspect of this Soul Search was that it could project the memories of the person being searched directly into the air.

Ye Chenfeng quickly found, in Zhou Mei’s Sea of Consciousness, the memories from back then of how they had framed the Old Monster of South Mountain.

His palm rotated slightly upon Zhou Mei’s forehead.

With a booming sound.

A living, dynamic image instantly appeared above Zhou Mei’s head—this scene was none other than Guo Anqian and Zhou Mei, back then, discussing how to frame the Old Monster of South Mountain. This was Zhou Mei’s own memory and could not possibly be wrong.

Everyone stared at the result of this special Soul Search. The Old Monster of South Mountain’s father, Guo Lie, was struck as if by lightning, going somewhat stupid on the spot. He shook his head over and over, unable to believe what he was seeing, unable to believe that all of this was real.

Ye Chenfeng withdrew his palm from Zhou Mei’s forehead.

Zhou Mei’s eyes were vacant, with not the slightest expression on her face, like a puppet with its strings torn. After undergoing the Soul Search, she had completely become an idiot, a useless husk.

Guo Anqian’s face was incredibly ugly. Today was supposed to be his grand birthday celebration, and he had never imagined something like this would happen. The current situation was completely beyond his control.

The Old Monster of South Mountain’s younger uncle, Guo Li, was also struck dumb. He kept swallowing nervously, his heart filled with panic.

The cultivators from the surrounding powers didn’t dare speak at this moment. Inwardly, though, they were full of conflicted feelings; none of them had expected the dignified Guos to have such secrets hidden away.

Ye Chenfeng said calmly, "The truth is clear now. It was your Guos who wronged him. It was your Guos who slandered him."

He turned his gaze to the Old Monster of South Mountain and continued, "I don’t think they have anything left to say. Take back everything that belongs to you."

With the truth revealed.

The Old Monster of South Mountain exhaled a long breath—this breath had been pent up for so many years.

He knew that without Ye Chenfeng, he might never have been able to reclaim his innocence. Suddenly, tears streamed down his old face, and he dropped to his knees before Ye Chenfeng, speaking from the bottom of his heart: "Benefactor, thank you!"
