Chapter 1016: Various Reactions
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ye Leng’an raised an eyebrow. “Well, isn’t that quite insightful?” She could sense that Huangfu Ruiling’s words carried so significance.
Huangfu Ruiling smiled gently at her and said nothing more.
Suddenly, Ye Leng’an had a thought and asked, “Ling, rember when I absorbed Ye Yikun’s life force and energy in that reverse formation? Do you know how to extract it?”
She wasn’t keen on getting sothing for nothing. The power she absorbed from that formation was sothing she didn’t want at all. Moreover, gaining cultivation through such ans wouldn’t benefit her future practice. So, she was exploring ways to extract that power.
Hearing her question, Huangfu Ruiling thought for a mont and nodded. “Sure, I’ll help you after we finish breakfast.”
“No rush!” Ye Leng’an seed to have a mischievous idea, sporting a playful smile. “I think it’s better to do this sowhere else.”
Huangfu Ruiling was a bit puzzled but didn’t press further.
Afterward, they set aside the discussion and resud their breakfast conversation, laughing and chatting like any ordinary couple, seemingly unfazed by recent events.
But soon, the entire Hidden World was rocked as if by an earthquake. Shock reverberated through everyone. No one had anticipated that Ye Yikun would turn out to be the evil cultivator the Enforcent Team had been hunting for.
While Ye Hongxuan held the current leadership position in the Ye family, it was Ye Yikun who remained more morable. He was hailed as the top alchemist of the Hidden World, renowned for his production of countless high-quality pills over the years. Furthermore, Ye Yikun contributed significantly to the Hidden World through various charitable deeds, particularly during tis of natural disasters.
The revelation that the seemingly noble Ye Yikun was, in fact, an evil cultivator who had caused harm to nurous lives in pursuit of his cultivation goals ca as a profound shock to all.
Many began to denounce the Ye family, feeling they should take responsibility for Ye Yikun’s actions.
However, despite all the talk, no one actually did anything. After all, the Ye family was a big deal in alchemy.
Most of the best alchemists were part of the Ye family. So, if anyone needed pills, they had to buy from them. Getting on their bad side and being cut off would be a big problem.
Sure thing, those were just the small fry. The big shots had their own alchemists. Sure, they might buy pills from the Ye family sotis, but it was not like they were desperate for it.
But when Ye Yikun picked his sacrifices, he hardly ever went for the big shots. Even if they were from a big family, he would pick so low-ranking disciple or soone they didn’t really care about.
Still, the Ye family took a big hit. Their reputation crashed, and people looked down on them. Even their own disciples were too embarrassed to admit their family ties in public.
Ye Hongxuan was overwheld with work and didn’t have a mont to spare. But even so, he couldn’t undo the damage.
As for other Ye family mbers, they no longer respected Ye Yikun. All they felt was resentnt, blaming him for the family’s plight.
Well, apart from the Ye family, two people were feeling uneasy: Master Murong and Master Zhongyu.
They were totally shocked when they saw the Enforcent Team’s announcent, then felt super guilty right after. They never imagined Ye Yikun was an evil cultivator. And to their surprise, they unintentionally helped him out.
But they were relieved that nobody knew about it, and Ye Yikun wouldn’t spill the beans. Of course, even if he did, they’d never admit it. And without evidence, they weren’t worried.
But to be honest, they were still a bit anxious. They had intercepted Huangfu Ruiling. If he decided to hit back, it would be a big deal for their families.
After all, Huangfu Ruiling was no ordinary guy. He was not just the head of the Huangfu family but also in charge of the Enforcent Team. And now, the two of them, worried about retaliation, were locked up in the Enforcent Team’s cell.
Ye Leng’an went to Ye Yikun’s cell alone.
Huangfu Ruiling had initially planned to accompany her, but she persuaded him otherwise. Besides, the cell was sturdy, so he gave in.
As Ye Leng’an stepped inside, she found Ye Yikun seated against the wall, bearing no resemblance to his forr self. He was no longer the authoritative figure of the Ye family but appeared like an ordinary elderly man.
