The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 72 Secret Talks Leaked
"Judging from the traces remaining in the soil, the depression in the southeast is over ten years old, which is almost exactly the time when your mother passed away!" The man frowned and spoke in a deep voice, speaking on behalf of the white-haired old man.

"Hiss~! So, the person behind this started planning more than ten years ago." Sun Yuyang and the others were inexplicably shocked. Only now did they truly realize that things were far more complicated than they had imagined.

"Junior Brother Feng can also... 'read the year by looking at the soil'?" Leng Ning Shuang's beautiful eyes shone with surprise as she turned her head to look at the extraordinary purple-clad man beside Feng Yuqing.

He was slightly surprised and thought, "Indeed, clothes make the man! After changing his clothes, Junior Brother's entire demeanor has subtly changed, and his aura seems more restrained!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Yuqing deliberately tightened her grip on the man's arm and said proudly, "That's right, our Feng Ling is amazing!"

"Sigh..." Feng Ling shook his head helplessly, then nodded to Leng Ning Shuang, "I know a little!"

"There's a depression in the southwest, and your stepmother has come to your house!" Like a thunderclap from a clear sky, the white-haired old man's words were startling. He continued, "If I'm not mistaken, your stepmother, Ruan Xinrou, married into your Sun family three years ago, didn't she?"

“Yes! Tomorrow will be exactly three years.” Sun Yuyang’s heart was filled with shock. She gritted her teeth and spat out the words. She already had a rough idea in her mind. Three days ago, when they discovered the huge pit in the southwest, they recognized it as earthwork that had been disturbed in recent years.

The answer is self-evident! What she couldn't understand was why the other party would plot against the Sun family when Sun Yunshan had no enemies. Could it really be for...that thing in the Ice Jade Pavilion?

“There’s a depression in the northwest…husband…husband…” The old man deliberately only said half of this sentence, turning his head to look at Sun Yuyang with a strange expression, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

Upon seeing this, the others instinctively turned around. What they had just discussed was the mystery of the giant pits discovered in various locations a few days ago, and the one-meter-wide pit in front of them was located to the northwest of Sun Yuyang's boudoir!
"Elder Ling, please speak frankly!" Sun Yuyang's heart trembled slightly, a struggle flashed in her eyes, and after taking a deep breath, she seemed to have made a great decision.

"Husband... disgraced the family!" Ling Weiyun's clone also found it difficult to speak, hesitated for a moment, and then said something that shocked everyone present.

"Ling Weiyun! What nonsense are you spouting? Say it again if you dare!" The man with the red spots was furious. He stepped forward and grabbed the old man's collar. His face was full of anger, but based on what had happened in the past few days, he was already half convinced.

"Brother Qicheng, let go of Old Ling! What he said is... true!" Sun Yuyang's voice choked with sobs, tears glistening in her eyes. Even though her heart was breaking, she didn't let her worthless weakness slip away.

“The soil in this huge pit was recently turned over, no more than half a month ago, which coincides with the time your father was murdered!” Ling Weiyun’s clone was not angry, letting the other party hold him, but still analyzed in a deep voice.

"Miss Yu Yang, you already knew?" Leng Ning Shuang's heart stirred. She looked at the pretty woman who was trying to remain calm and thought to herself, "These blows really come one after another. No wonder she pretended to be crazy. Perhaps it wasn't just to find out the cause of her father's death."

"Escape from pain and investigate the cause of death! With the great revenge yet to be avenged, what mind do you have to worry about personal feelings?" Feng Ling raised an eyebrow slightly, admiring Sun Yuyang's ability to distinguish between what was important and what was not!

"Yu Yang, how could you be so foolish?" Seeing the woman nod in agreement and release Ling Weiyun's clone, Qi Cheng took a few steps back with a sense of loss, looking at Sun Yu Yang with great heartache.

"Zhang Yi! Bastard, bastard...!" Qi Cheng's eyes were bloodshot as he cursed angrily. His once respected elder brother had turned into such a hypocritical, despicable beast after so many years.

"I just don't know what their next plan is?" Ling Weiyun's clone frowned. These three conspiracies were meticulously planned, with each step linked to the next, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner according to the direction set by the other party.

"Hmph, whatever they want to do, we already have this! We can confront them in court in three days and expose their true colors in one fell swoop!" Qi Cheng was furious and took out an exquisite dark red jewelry box. When Feng Ling and the others saw this, their expressions all turned solemn.

To obtain this item, Sun Yuyang and his accomplices racked their brains, devising a plan to lure Ruan Xinrou away, and secretly sneaking into her room to dig deep before finally finding it.

Feng Ling and the others naturally knew what was inside: the bone-corroding cold powder and an unknown elastic membrane used to create human-shaped skin. "Who...!?" Ling Weiyun's clone suddenly shouted, and the Thunderclap Technique exploded from his hand. A panicked black shadow darted out from the cracks in the rockery, moving with incredible speed. It used the momentum to leap over the courtyard and fled eastward towards the Sun residence.

"Yu Yang, catch! I'll go after him!" Qi Cheng roared as he leaped onto the flying magic carpet, flung out the dark red box in his hand, and in just a few breaths, it shot off like a colorful rainbow.

"Brother Qi Cheng!" Sun Yuyang caught the jewelry box, her heart filled with a mixture of shock and anger. Finally, she looked at the figure that had disappeared at lightning speed with great worry, and muttered absentmindedly, "Be careful!"

"What could be so cunning?" Feng Yuqing asked curiously, staring at Ling Weiyun's clone. In her eyes, she had come out to find Feng Ling. As for the changes in the Sun family, she would just follow behind Feng Ling as an observer, helping if she could and not worrying if she couldn't.

"Sigh~!" Feng Ling and the others looked rather grim. Ling Weiyun's clone even shook his head with a sigh, indicating that he didn't know either. Then he turned to Sun Yuyang and comforted her, "Miss Sun, don't worry. That evil spirit was hit by my thunderbolt and was already seriously injured. I believe he won't be able to escape from Junior Nephew Qi's grasp!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Yuyang calmed down slightly. Only after Leng Ningshuang stepped forward in alarm to examine the rocks and inadvertently discovered a pool of black blood did Sun Yuyang finally feel completely at ease.

"It's time to make final preparations!" After Feng Ling and the others left, Sun Yuyang muttered to herself. What she needed to do now was to prevent Ruan Xinrou and the others from escaping out of fear of punishment. At the same time, she specially assigned more manpower to the entrance of the back mountain!

Outside Sunset City, in a mass grave, a bloodstained, fleeing demon suddenly vanished without a trace, leaving no trace. The dry, cracked cross-shaped tombstones around it faintly exuded an eerie aura, making it chilling even in broad daylight.

"Crack!" A spotted man jumped down from a low altitude, and when he landed, he crushed a piece of rotten bone that had been decaying for who knows how many years.

"Strange! How did they suddenly disappear?" Qi Cheng's eyes flashed like lightning as he frowned and scanned the eerie empty space in front of him, filled with tombstones. He moved his body cautiously and slowly.

"Meow~...!" A chilling meow suddenly came from behind him. Qi Cheng turned around abruptly and smashed a tombstone that was blocking his view.

Then, a thick black mist swept in, blotting out the sun, and beneath the rubble and dust, a strange, large tabby cat with black spots appeared. The cat licked the black blood still flowing from its left front paw and occasionally turned its head to let out a gentle meow towards the black mist behind it.

"Oh no!" With a shout of alarm and anger, Qi Cheng suddenly retreated more than ten meters away. He didn't care about being immoral and smashed through eight or nine cross-shaped tombstones along the way. He immediately summoned the flying magic carpet again and prepared to escape.

"Damn it! I managed to run into this?" After leaping onto the flying magic carpet, Qi Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, his heart filled with a mixture of shock and anger. He had only been chasing a random evil spirit when he bumped into this big guy!

Amidst the billowing black mist, Qi Cheng clearly saw a sinister figure dressed in black robes. Judging from the eerie aura emanating from him, he was at least a tenth-level evil spirit master!

If I'm not mistaken, this person is most likely the mastermind behind all the conspiracies in the Sun family! With such a shocking discovery, and Qi Cheng being no match for him, all he can do is escape death and rush back to the Sun family to seek help from Elder Ling Weiyun and others, so that this person can be surrounded and killed as soon as possible!

"Hahaha~! You hurt my pet and destroyed my grave. Now that you're here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Xie Ying let out a hoarse, mocking laugh, which brought the entire graveyard to life.

"Boom!" The man in black robes snorted coldly, and thousands of black wisps formed a terrifying vortex. A suction force locked onto the spotted man's figure as he tried to leave without warning.

"Ahhh...!" Qi Cheng screamed in terror. In the eerie, cold wind, he and the flying magic carpet spun wildly out of control, his body flying backwards once again towards the center of the now-distorted tomb...

At the edge of the Sun residence's skyline, a strange energy rose up and then vanished in an instant.

"Hmm?" The withered old man and Feng Ling, who were drinking tea, suddenly frowned. They couldn't even pinpoint the exact location, and there were fewer than five people in the entire Sun family who could sense the anomaly.
