One person: Activate the talisman, behold my Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon!

It's fine if it's too fast to be captured.

But this kid actually blocked the Ruyi Force with ease, relying solely on his physical strength!

He could even clearly feel the strength of this kid, which was completely beyond what a young man in his twenties should possess, and it even made him stagger back three steps! How monstrous must his physique be!

Wang Jian and his remaining subordinates were stunned. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people were killed instantly, and even Lu Ci, who was at the level of one of the Ten Elders, did not gain the upper hand in the battle.

'Detected surprise and fear in Wang Jian and the others, emotion value +40, +30, +30...'

The atmosphere became oppressive.

"who are you?"

Lu Ci's voice was a little hoarse, his gaze fixed on Ye Xing's location.

How did you know about Duanmu Ying and Feng Tianyang?

Ye Xing smiled broadly as he looked at Lü Ci's tense expression.

"Old Master Lü, please don't get so angry. I know far more than you can imagine."

Ye Xing patted the wrinkles on his Taoist robe, his tone becoming nonchalant.

"Take your Lu family's internal mess for example. Actually, Lu Liang wasn't the murderer of Lu Huan at all."

"He's just an unlucky guy who's been used as a pawn, wrongly accused by you bunch of idiots for so many years."

He had just finished saying that.

Before Lü Ci could react.

A suppressed, extremely angry rebuttal suddenly erupted from the depths of the nearby woods.

"You're talking nonsense! That beast Lü Liang is the murderer who killed Huan'er!"

Ye Xing looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man angrily rushing out of the woods.

'Anger detected in Lü Gong; emotion value +50.'

"Lü Liang murdered Xiao Huan, we saw it with our own eyes, how could it be false? You know nothing, yet you dare to spout nonsense here!"

Ye Xing chuckled. "Don't get excited. Sometimes being loud doesn't mean you're right. Besides, I'm just stating what I know. Whether you believe me or not is none of my business."

Ye Xing turned his head and looked at Lü Ci with a smile.

"Do you think I'm right, Mr. Lü?"

Chapter 43 The Cause of Lü Huan's Death, The Secret of the Dual-Hand Technique

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Lu Gong was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on; he almost jumped up, and his hand pointing at Ye Xing was trembling.

"We saw Huan'er's body with our own eyes. Only Lü Liang was there at the time. Stop spreading rumors!"

"I told you to shut up!"

Lu Ci suddenly turned his head, and the fierce light emanating from his single eye forced Lu Gong to take two steps back.

'Disbelief was detected in Lü Gong; emotion value +40.'

After scolding his great-grandson, Lü Ci turned his gaze to Ye Xing again, his facial muscles twitching slightly.

"What do you know?"

Ye Xing shrugged, looked at Lü Ci's gloomy face, and spoke slowly.

"The Dual Hands, as the name suggests, involve the red hand shaping the physical body and the blue hand touching the soul. For so many years, your Lü family has relied on Duanmu Ying's bloodline to awaken the Soul-Clearing Technique, which is actually a defective product, with only the blue hand being usable."

Ye Xing took a step forward, raising his voice.

"Actually, you were the one who killed Lü Huan, otherwise how could that brat Lü Liang have escaped from Lü Family Village right under your nose! Right?"

Leaves fell and flowers drifted down; the scene became so quiet you could hear a pin drop, save for the sounds of everyone breathing and the whistling wind through the mountains. 'Detected...'

Ye Xing looked at Lü Ci's shocked old face and continued speaking.

"Duanmu Ying, she's someone who comprehended the Eight Extraordinary Techniques. Back then, she fell into the hands of your Lü family and was imprisoned in a dark, sunless cellar, used as a breeding machine for so many years. Did you really think she would obediently accept her fate?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Ci's breathing became extremely heavy, and his hands clenched into fists.

“Duanmu Ying tampered with the bloodline. The proportions of the two hands should be the same, but she mixed something into them.”

"This existence requires the blue hand to manipulate it, but the life force responsible for storing it has to bear more of the burden. So when she mixed it into the dual-wielding hand and passed it down, the life force hand took on more of the storage function, and the weight of the life force hands became unbalanced."

"The one who was always mixed in and suppressed the Fate Hand was her memory. The person who fully inherited the Dual-Hand Technique fully inherited her memory."

"It began with our first meeting and ended with the memory of that furnace being born, and Lü Huan awakened his complete dual-wielding abilities."

Ye Xing became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, gesturing as he spoke.

"Lü Huan couldn't bear that memory, so after you rejected her and injured her, she chose to commit suicide."

Ye Xing spread his hands and looked at Lü Gong, who was on the verge of collapse, with a smile.

"So, Lu Liang, that unlucky guy who went to find his sister, became the biggest scapegoat."

Quiet.

A deathly silence.

The amount of information conveyed in these words was so vast that it completely exceeded the cognitive limits of everyone present.

Not only Lü Gong, but also the dozen or so skilled members of the Lü family were dumbfounded.

'Detected extreme shock and upheaval in Lü Ci, triggering a series of critical hits, emotion value +300!'

'Detected that Lü Gong is experiencing a collapse of his worldview and despair, triggering a critical hit, emotion value +80!'

'Shock and astonishment were detected among the Lü family members. Emotional value +40, +50, +30...'

Listening to the series of pleasant notification sounds in his mind, Ye Xing glanced at the system panel with satisfaction.

My emotional state has improved considerably.

This trip was definitely worthwhile; I made a killing.

The melon is ripe and has already been cut open, so there's no need to keep wasting time here.

Ye Xing stretched and turned to leave.

"and many more!"

Lu Ci suddenly came to his senses, strode forward, and stood in front of Ye Xing. His scarred face looked somewhat ferocious due to extreme excitement.

"Is everything you're saying... true?"

Ye Xing smiled as he walked past Lü Ci, waving his hand without stopping or turning his head.

"I'm only responsible for telling you the story I've heard. Whether you believe it or not is your own business. Besides, didn't you have some suspicions about Lü Huan's death?"

"Otherwise, how could Lü Liang possibly escape Lü Family Village?"

Watching Ye Xing's retreating figure, Lü Gong broke down.

Lu Ci's face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water. Watching Ye Xing walk away, he ultimately didn't dare to continue trying to stop him.

The brief exchange had already made him realize that if a real fight broke out, even if all twenty-odd of his men were together, they wouldn't be able to stop him.

Ye Xing strolled leisurely to the edge of the encirclement, and the men from the Lü and Wang families instinctively made way for him.

Just as he was about to step into the woods, Ye Xing suddenly stopped.

He turned halfway around, his gaze sweeping across the faces of the dozen or so members of the Lü family around him, before finally settling on Lü Ci.

"Oh, by the way, here's a free bonus message."

Ye Xing smiled with a hint of amusement.

“Your Lü family has been under surveillance all these years.”

After saying that, Ye Xing didn't linger. He whistled and strolled into the dense forest, quickly disappearing from sight.

The remaining members of the Lü family looked at each other, a chill running down their spines and straight to the back of their heads.

Lu Ci suddenly felt as if there was an invisible pair of eyes hidden in the shadows.

The atmosphere became extremely eerie.

On the other side, Wang Jian, an elder of the Wang family, was already covered in a cold sweat.

He only brought his men to cause trouble for Ye Xing today, to interrogate him about his secrets, but who knew he would hear such a shocking secret!

If even a tiny bit of the inside story about Duanmu Ying and the Double-Handed Technique were to leak out, the world of supernatural beings would be turned upside down.

Hearing secrets of this level could be deadly.

Wang Jian swallowed hard, gave a wink to the seven or eight Wang family subordinates behind him, and then forced a stiff smile.

"Well... Mr. Lü, since this kid has run away, there's no use for us staying here. Young Master Wang still needs someone to take care of him, so we'll take our leave now."

After saying that, Wang Jian cupped his hands in greeting and tried to make a quick getaway with his men.

He hadn't even taken three steps.

A gust of wind swept by.

Wang Jian only felt a blur before his eyes, and Lü Ci's thin body was already blocking his way.

next second.

A calloused hand gripped Wang Jian's neck like an iron clamp, lifting him off the ground.

"Old Master Lü! What... are you doing!"

Wang Jian frantically tried to pry open the hand that was choking his neck, kicking his legs wildly in the air, his face flushed red.

The dozen or so skilled members of the Lü family moved with lightning speed, instantly scattering and completely surrounding the remaining members of the Wang family. The Qi in their hands immediately lit up.

"Old Master Lü! Our two families have been friends for generations! Old Master Wang Ai is still here, what are you trying to do?!"

Wang Jian managed to squeeze out a sound from his throat, his eyes wide open.

He was genuinely panicked; this old mad dog was completely unreasonable.

"A family friendship?"
