Qin's Moon: I'm really not the Holy Lord of the Demonic Sect

Chapter 159 The Mistake of Fire Rain

"Impossible, you can't possibly still be alive."

Liu Yi took two steps forward and stared intently at Li Kai. Although Li Kai was now old and disfigured, he was absolutely certain that the person in front of him was Li Kai.

But isn't Li Kai already dead?

"I'm not dead, is that surprising to Zuo Sima?" Li Kai sneered.

He was besieged and killed by the rebels back then, and at that time he only felt that he was unlucky. But when he survived by chance, especially when he learned that Liu Yi had married the young lady of Huoyu Manor who was originally in love with him, he understood that it was pretty much the case.

Seeing Liu Yi's terrified expression at this moment further confirmed his suspicions.

It was Liu Yi who betrayed him back then. To steal his love, Liu Yi didn't hesitate to betray his colleagues, even at the cost of thousands of soldiers' lives.

Li Kai's hatred for Liu Yi was so intense that even the waters of three rivers could not wash it away.

Originally, Li Kai was already heartbroken. The only reason he insisted on returning to Xinzheng was to see his former lover one last time. However, when Ji Wuye found him and successfully stirred up his resentment, revenge completely took over his mind.

Why? Why should Liu Yi, that traitor, be able to enjoy high office and a beautiful wife, while he has to become a refugee, have his face disfigured, lose his honor, status, lover, and everything else?

He was unwilling, unwilling to accept his own downfall, and even more unwilling to accept his enemy's triumph.

"It was quite unexpected." Liu Yi took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. He realized that Ji Wuye must have had a plan since he had invited him and Yang Che here. The one who could truly decide everything here was Ji Wuye, not Li Kai.

"Yang Sikong, this is Li Kai, the Right Sima. He was just born when he became famous, so he doesn't know what the Right Sima is. But back then, he was the most outstanding young talent in our Han state. He became the Right Sima at the age of twenty-five. At that time, your uncle was his subordinate." Ji Wuye ignored Liu Yi's shock and explained to Yang Che.

Liu Yi was never a match for Ji Wuye. Ji Wuye knew very well that from beginning to end, he only had one opponent: Yang Che.

As for Liu Yi, he was merely a tool he used to deal with Yang Che.

"That's truly remarkable," Yang Che agreed, pretending not to know Ji Wuye's schemes or the grudges from back then.

"Unfortunately, fate is cruel to the talented. In the battle against Baiyue, the Right Sima made a careless move and fell into the rebel army's ambush, resulting in the annihilation of his entire army. Although he survived by chance, he could no longer return to Xinzheng and lost everything, including his former lover." Ji Wuye spoke eloquently.

With each word Ji Wuye uttered, Li Kai's hatred grew, while Liu Yi's fear increased threefold. Liu Yi was afraid, not only of his past being exposed, but also of his image in Yang Che's eyes collapsing completely.

"General—" Liu Yi began with difficulty, but what could he possibly say? Could he say that he wasn't the one who did those things?

In fact, many times when he thought back on it, Liu Yi did regret what he did back then. In order to get Lady Hu, he betrayed his colleagues, causing the deaths of thousands of people. But what did he get in return? All he got was a wife who was indifferent to him, and who has not had a single child all these years.

"Does Minister Yang know who the Right Sima's lover was back then?" Ji Wuye ignored Liu Yi's question and instead began to play mysteriously with Yang Che.

Yang Che, too lazy to look at Ji Wuye's smug face any longer, gradually lost his desire to cooperate. So, facing Ji Wuye's mystery, Yang Che said directly, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be my aunt, the current Left Sima's wife, right?"

"You—" Ji Wuye's smugness came to an abrupt halt, a breath caught in his throat, causing his already ugly face to turn purplish-blue.

"Ache?" Liu Yi looked at Yang Che in shock, all hope vanishing.

"Let me sort this out. The Right Sima's former lover is now my aunt. Furthermore, the General was able to remind the Right Sima of his defeat back then. It seems you, Uncle, played a less-than-honorable role in this affair. Did you betray the Right Sima, leading to his defeat and death, turning him from a renowned general into a hermit in the mountains?"

Yang Che slowly recounted the truth of what happened back then.

"Yang Sikong, now that you've guessed the truth of what happened back then, what are you planning to do? The Left Sima framed his colleagues for the sake of a beautiful woman, causing the loss of thousands of soldiers for his own selfish gain. This is a crime punishable by the confiscation of property and the extermination of the entire clan. When you were in Nanyang, you upheld the law impartially, investigating even crimes committed by powerful families to the fullest extent. Now that it's your turn, you certainly won't bend the law for personal gain, will you?"

Ji Wuye took a deep breath, forcing himself to swallow the pent-up anger. Although there were some minor mishaps during the process, the outcome was still the same. Compared to the process, the result was more important.

"Ache—" Liu Yi looked at Yang Che, his mind in turmoil. He had always regarded Yang Che as a family member who needed protection, but he never expected that one day he would become a tool for others to deal with Yang Che.

Li Kai also looked at Yang Che. During his time back in Korea, he had heard about Yang Che's reputation. He was also surprised that Liu Yi had such an outstanding nephew. However, Yang Che was, after all, the nephew of his enemy.

"The General seems to have some misunderstanding about me." Faced with Ji Wuye's relentless pressure, Yang Che suddenly smiled.

Ji Wuye suddenly realized that Yang Che in front of him had changed. If the Yang Che of the past gave him the feeling of a gentle and refined gentleman, then the Yang Che of now gave him the impression of being extremely evil and wicked.

He had seen a similar temperament in Bai Yifei, but Bai Yifei was far inferior to Yang Che in front of him.

Yang Che's evil is far beyond Bai Yifei's strangeness. Bai Yifei's strangeness is shrouded in treachery, while Yang Che's evil is so righteous and open. Compared with Yang Che, Bai Yifei's evil appears like that of a commoner, while Yang Che's evil is more like that of a monarch.

"I have never been a good person. What do I care about pursuing justice? Since the General invited me here tonight, he just wants to use this matter to make a deal with me." Yang Che stood up, activated the Heavenly One Heart Technique, and walked step by step toward Ji Wuye.

Faced with Yang Che's relentless pressure, Ji Wuye felt as if he were no longer facing a person, but a demonic dragon released from the abyss.

Could it be that, as Yang Che said, he misunderstood something?

"Is it because of the ghost soldiers robbing the pay?"

Under Yang Che's relentless pressure, Ji Wuye's ferocity was also aroused. His wild and domineering aura was released without restraint, colliding with Yang Che's Heavenly Demon aura. This startled Mo Ya and caused Li Kai and Liu Yi to instinctively give way.
