Those years when I hunted demons in Dali Temple

"I originally intended to spare your life," the faceless man sighed, seemingly with regret.

Why spare my life?
Will I continue to work for you?
Even if the Faceless Man lets him go today, Ye Han doesn't plan to live.

He just wanted to die knowing why.

Why is the faceless man going through all this trouble? What is he trying to achieve?
"Even if you release me, Immortal Venerable, do you think I can survive?" The Heavenly Gate Sect disciples were all dead again; even if Ye Han survived, he would suffer a fate worse than death. Ye Han gasped for breath, "Immortal Venerable, just give me an explanation and let me die a quick death!"

Perhaps it was the words 'Immortal Venerable' that moved the Faceless Man.

The faceless man withdrew his hand, which was about to take Ye Han's life.

He told Ye Han, "Years ago, due to some events, my entire face was disfigured."

Ye Han: You're not just unrecognizable, you're shameless!

Ye Han looked at him in disbelief: "Just because you don't have a face, you're going to possess someone else's body?"

Shouldn't we be seeking a solution? It's not a matter of life and death, so how could someone so casually take another's life?
The faceless figure seemed to understand Ye Han's question: "I have more important things to do. How can I accomplish anything with such a face?"

Ye Han: What? You want to unify the Xuan Tian Continent, or even the entire cultivation world?

Has the faceless man gone mad?
Ye Han rejected this unreliable idea.

Ye Han: "It wouldn't have come to the point of taking other people's lives, sowing discord between the other six sects and the Beast Taming Sect, and even dragging the innocent Baimin tribe into it."

The faceless man chuckled disdainfully. "It is their honor and blessing that they would sacrifice themselves for me, and besides..."

The faceless man's face held a hint of malice. "Wasn't the conflict between the Beast Taming Sect and the Baimin Tribe entirely caused by you, Ye Han?"

Looking at that familiar yet unfamiliar face, Ye Han didn't have the strength to argue with him anymore.

Moreover, he failed to notice the flaws in the faceless man's words: how could a small sect like the Heavenly Gate Sect have brought the Beast Taming Sect to such a state, and even forced a tribe to disappear from the Xuan Tian Continent?

"What do you intend to accomplish?" Ye Han's life was nearing its end. He felt that his life was a joke. He had been busy all day but did not know why he was doing these things or for whom.

The faceless man shook his head. "I regret that I cannot tell you, even though you are about to be annihilated."

"Then can you tell me your name?" Ye Han was at the end of his life when he remembered that from the moment they met, he had regarded the other person as his benefactor and had never inquired about the other person's past. After calling him "Immortal Venerable", he had not even asked about his name.

Ye Han thought to himself, he really deserves to die!

Ye Han glanced at the disciple who had stood by him through thick and thin, and in a daze, it seemed as if he saw the scene when they went up the mountain.

But he was interrupted by an evil voice, "Actually, there's something I forgot to tell you."

Ye Hanxin thought to himself, what could possibly shake him now?

The faceless man showed him with facts that there was more!

"I forgot to tell you, the Maple Forest Sect, oh right, that was the original name of the Heavenly Gate Sect, wasn't it?" The faceless man paused, a slight smile playing on his lips, as if lost in some pleasant memory. "I remember you said that the Maple Forest Sect was wiped out because someone heard that you had found a spiritual vein mine." Ye Han's pupils suddenly dilated. "You!"

The faceless man smiled and nodded. "Now you can rest in peace. Go."

Ye Han couldn't catch his last breath and passed away.

Before his soul was crushed by the faceless man, he seemed to hear the other man say something.

But he only heard one word, something like "nothingness," and then he was no longer connected to this world.

"Xiao Yi, you're awake?" Dao Yifang heard Liang Yuan ask with concern as he finished reading Ye Han's indescribable life story.

After gathering his thoughts, Dao Yi told Liang Yuan everything he had just witnessed.

The word "nothingness" that Ye Han heard before his death only made Dao Yi more convinced: "That faceless man should be the Wuxiang I have been looking for. This guy loved to cause trouble behind the scenes when he was in the world."

"So what if you're sure it's him?" Liang Yuan wasn't trying to pour cold water on the idea. "No one knows the person's true identity yet, and he has the ability to constantly possess other people's bodies. Finding him is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Dao Yi thought for a moment, "Uncle, we analyzed before that Wu Xiang is very likely the person behind Ye Han. He sent the disciples of Tianmen Sect to hunt us down just to find out about the grudges on the world. But after reading Ye Han's memories, it's not like that."

Liang Yuan quickly went through what she had just said in his mind again.

"You mean they only want to kill me and take you and Andao away?" Liang Yuan's lips twitched. Was he some kind of unlucky person? How could they treat him so differently!
Dao Yi was unaware of Liang Yuan's chaotic thoughts.

She offered her opinion: "Back in Huanqiu, Wuxiang had thought about capturing Andao. To this day, I still think it was just to drain Andao's blood. But now it seems that Wuxiang not only coveted his blood, but also Andao's body. Or rather, he saw Andao as a vessel like Xu Wei."

Liang Yuan recalled what Dao Yifang had just said: Wuxiang had also taken away six people from the Baimin tribe. "But I have never heard of any Baimin tribe members having any incidents. Wuxiang should not have possessed their bodies, so why would he want An Dao's body?"

Dao nodded slightly: "If he didn't want to arrest me, perhaps I wouldn't have made this guess. But putting aside the fact that An Dao and I are husband and wife, the most important thing, Uncle, you seem to have forgotten, is my constitution."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan was absolutely furious!
That Wu Xiang is shameless. It's one thing to covet his nephew, but he even wants to lay a hand on his nephew's wife.

Liang Yuan became increasingly restless, wishing he could find Wu Xiang immediately, settle both old and new scores, and make him disappear completely from the Xuan Tian Continent.

Oh, right, they need to find Wuxiang first!
Liang Yuan asked, "Xiao Yi, do you have a way to find him?"

Dao nodded slightly: "I have a somewhat unformed method, and I still need to find some people to help me."

She gave Liang Yuan a smile, "We're sworn enemies all over the world. I wasn't originally planning to go find Wuxiang so soon, but since he insists on making trouble for us, we'll just have to let him come out on his own, hehe."

Looking at the mischievous smile on the little girl's face, Liang Yuan couldn't tell who the bad guy was.

On their way away from the Tianmen Sect, Dao Yi talked about finding Wu Xiang the whole way, and Liang Yuan was somewhat dazed by the end.

Is this his grand-nephew's wife, who looks as delicate and elegant as a bamboo shoot, and is also well-behaved and lovely?
"By the way, what should we do as our first step?"

Dao Yi chuckled slyly, "When do you think the rats will come out of their holes?" (End of Chapter)
