Yu Huang said in a low voice, “Yesterday afternoon, my grand master wanted to eat the wild fruits in the back mountain of the Yin Clan. I brought him and a few disciples to the back mountain to pick fruits. However, I found a sneaky person in the lake at the back mountain.”

“Grand Master wanted to capture that sneaky person, but the other party actually summoned his beast form and launched a fatal attack on my Grand Master. However, that person’s cultivation level was no match for my Grand Master’s, so he was successfully captured by Grand Master.”

“And that person is precisely my uncle, the Second Patriarch of my Yin Clan, Yin Mingchong!”

All the Yin Clan disciples revealed shocked and stunned expressions when they heard this.

Second Patriarch?

“First Elder! As well as the other elders.” Yu Huang turned around and bent down to say to the elders, “After investigation, I discovered that at the bottom of the lake at the back of the mountain, there is indeed a secret passage that leads to the outside world of the Eight Towers Mountain. This is exactly what Zhou Buwen told us.”

“In addition, I have doubts about my uncle’s motive for sneaking to the bottom of the river and trying to escape from the Yin Clan through the secret passage. As everyone knows, today is the homecoming banquet that the Yin Clan held for me. My uncle should be the important host of today’s banquet. What did he do to feel so afraid that he doesn’t have the guts to participate in today’s banquet and wants to leave through the secret passage?”

At this point, Yu Huang paused for a moment, and a pained expression appeared on her face. She said sadly, “After my father passed away, my uncle was my closest blood relative in this world. I’d never doubted my uncle. However, Zhou Buwen’s confession just now made me suspect my uncle. Could it be that my theft back then was really related to him?”

“Elders, I hope you can agree to let my uncle and Zhou Buwen confront each other face to face! If my uncle is innocent, then we definitely can’t let Zhou Buwen off easily! We also can’t let my uncle suffer injustice! If the confrontation proves that my uncle is indeed the mastermind, then…”

A ruthless expression flashed across Yu Huang’s face. Her cold and stern voice reached the ears of every cultivator—

“The Yin Clan has always been righteous and aboveboard. We definitely can’t tolerate a criminal! He attempted to murder a blood relative, bullied the orphan of a mighty figure, forged a Beast Tamer ID, and committed multiple crimes! He should be handed over to the Beast Tamer Alliance for punishment!”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this!

When they heard Yu Huang’s words, they belatedly realized that this girl had probably seen through the truth long ago, and she was deliberately setting a trap for Yin Mingchong here.

She was putting righteousness before family!

When Yin Fu heard Yu Huang’s words, she saw that the elders were still hesitating. She actually stood up from behind the short table and quickly walked to Yu Huang’s side before kneeling down to the elders.

Yin Fu knelt on the ground and raised her head. Her eyes were red as she pleaded with the elders, “Elders, I agree with the Young Master. I hope that the elders will agree to let my father confront Zhou Buwen! I believe that he is innocent!”

Yin Rong closed her eyes speechlessly.

If Yin Fu’s father knew what she had done, he would definitely regret giving birth to her.

As expected, the First Elder, who was originally a little hesitant, actually nodded and agreed without the slightest hesitation after hearing Yin Fu’s suggestion. “Yin Fu is right. We indeed can’t convict someone just by listening to one-sided words. Men, bring Yin Mingchong up!”

In next to no time, Yin Mingchong was escorted up by the Second and Third Elders.

Yin Mingchong was escorted to the center of the arena. When he saw Zhou Buwen’s face, his eyes went dark, and he was on the verge of fainting!

No wonder Zhou Buwen had been out of contact. He had been captured by Lin Jiansheng!

Yin Fu finally saw her father. She ran over while crying and grabbed Yin Mingchong’s hand. “Father, this bandit is slandering you. He actually slandered you for working with him from the inside and plotting to harm the Young Master! Father, I know you’re innocent. Quickly tell everyone that you’re innocent!”

Yin Mingchong held Yin Fu’s soft and slender hand in reverse while wishing for nothing more than to crush this idiot’s hands!

Thanks to Yin Fu, everyone in the cultivation world would be able to witness the scene of him being exposed by Zhou Buwen!

Yin Mingchong turned to look at everyone present.

Caro Xiangfu, Liuli Xiangsi, Sheng Lingfeng, the elders…

Those who looked down on him and thought that he was inferior to Yin Mingjue were all present!

Zhou Buwen walked up to Yin Mingchong and asked, “Patriarch Yin, do you still remember me after 21 years?”

Yin Mingchong’s fierce gaze landed onto Zhou Buwen’s different colored pupils. His left hand suddenly grabbed Zhou Buwen’s hand while his right hand pointed at Yu Huang, who was behind the short table, and he gnashed his teeth as he questioned Zhou Buwen, “Didn’t you tell me that you’d killed her and fed her to the demon beasts?! Then what’s in front of me? Don’t tell me that it’s her ghost!”

Yin Fu’s expression instantly turned pale. “Daddy, what, what are you talking about?”

The cultivators were also in an uproar.

“Yin Mingchong actually admitted it!”

“He really made a deal with Zhou Buwen!”

Behind the short table, Yu Huang revealed a sad expression when she heard this. She said sorrowfully, “Uncle, so it’s really you…”

“Heh!” Yin Mingchong sneered as he pushed Zhou Buwen and Yin Fu away.

Yin Mingchong took a few steps forward, and then he pointed at Yu Huang while cursing angrily. “What kind of act are you putting on in front of me?! Damned girl, you’re even more formidable than your father. Your father wasn’t as good at acting and so fond of playing with people’s hearts as you are!”

When he was captured by Di Ruofeng yesterday, Yin Mingchong really thought that he was unlucky and happened to be seen by Di Ruofeng, who had gone to the back of the mountain to pick melons.

After being locked up for an entire night, Yin Mingchong thought about it for an entire night. He understood that all of this was Yu Huang’s scheme.

From the first time this little girl saw him in the Divine Realm Academy, she knew their true relationship. However, she deliberately hid her identity to avoid being discovered by him.

To be so shrewd and scheming at such a young age, she was even more cunning than her father.

Yu Huang’s eyes turned red when she heard Yin Mingchong, and she seemed as if tears were about to fall. She said with disbelief, “What are you talking about? Weren’t you and my father best buddies?”

When he saw that Yu Huang was still acting even at this moment, Yin Mingchong completely lost his temper.

“Best friend?” Yin Mingchong laughed mockingly. “What bullsh*t good friend! He had always been high and mighty since he was young, and he treats that slave, Yin Donghai, better than me! He had always looked down on me, and I was the first to applaud his death!”

Such vicious words from Yin Mingchong truly stunned the Yin Clan disciples.

“Second Patriarch…” These young boys and girls looked at Yin Mingchong with shocked expressions. The Second Patriarch before them had suddenly become detestable.

He seemed extremely unfamiliar.

Caro Xiangfu was in a good mood when he saw Yin Mingchong finally reveal his true colors. “He had evil intentions, so it’s no wonder that Yin Mingjue looked down on him.”

Liuli Xiangsi shook her head. She knew that from today onwards, his name would become a joke in the cultivation world.

Yu Huang put on an extremely shocked expression as well. She pretended to be confused as she questioned Yin Mingchong. “You want to harm me just because my father looked down on you?”

Yin Mingchong looked at the gorgeous young master uniform on Yu Huang’s body. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the day more than a hundred years ago, when Yin Mingjue was chosen as the successor and wore the young master uniform.

The Yu Huang in front of him had become Yin Mingjue from more than a hundred years ago.

Yin Mingchong stared at that noble figure and cursed unwillingly, “Because you’re Yin Mingjue’s child, you can sit on that seat with a clear conscience, but on what basis?”

“After Yin Mingjue died, I was the most outstanding young man in the Yin Clan. I should be the Patriarch! Why should I still serve you like a slave after his death?! I had been suppressed by your father for my entire life. Do I still have to continue being enslaved by you for my entire life?!”

“Stupid girl, do you know that I’d been dreaming of your death?!” Yin Mingchong was desperate.

Tears finally fell from Yu Huang’s beautiful face. Who wouldn’t feel sorry for her when they saw her heartbroken expression?

Yin Fu stared blankly at her unfamiliar and stubborn father while feeling that the situation was ridiculous. “Daddy, what are you talking about?! Stop talking!”

Why would her kind and praised father say such a thing?

How could he have such thoughts?!

Did he know that after he said these words, he would no longer have a place in the Yin Clan?! In the cultivation world, he would also be despised by everyone!

When he heard Yin Fu’s words, Yin Mingchong suddenly glared fiercely at Yin Fu and actually said, “You should shut up as well. If you were able to enter the Divine Realm Academy and become as outstanding as Yu Huang, then there would have been no need for me to accept a lowly bloodline from a side family!”

The Yin Clan disciples and Yu Huang subconsciously looked at Yin Rong.

Yin Rong sat at the head of the core disciples’ seat.

She actually didn’t have the slightest reaction when she heard this, and she only looked at Yin Mingchong silently, as if she was watching a joke.

This was the first time Yin Fu had heard such ruthless words from her father, and she couldn’t help but feel heartbroken. “Daddy, you… you actually think of me this way?” Since yesterday, her love and admiration for Yin Mingchong had been torn apart bit by bit by this man.

Yin Mingchong said with disdain, “Yin Fu, the greatest failure of my life was giving birth to you, who’s inferior to Yu Huang in every aspect!”

Yin Fu sat on the ground when she heard this, and felt as if she was hallucinating.

Yin Mingchong looked at the First Elder and the others once more. At this moment, he was finally unable to restrain himself. He wanted to vent all the words that he’d hidden in his heart for his entire life!

Yin Mingchong said to the elders, “For the past 20 years, I’ve worked hard for the Yin Clan. Even if I didn’t contribute much, I still worked hard! But have any of you old fellows ever praised me?!”

“Yin Mingjue, Yin Mingjue! You guys keep talking about Yin Mingjue all the time! But no matter how powerful Yin Mingjue was, he’s already dead! He was short-lived!”

“Since young, all of you have only seen Yin Mingjue’s dazzling brilliance, but you couldn’t see my hard work. I felt unconvinced! I felt indignant! It would have been fine if Yin Mingjue was alive and he was the Patriarch, but why is it that after he died, you guys only let me be the Patriarch and let me work for that brat Yu Huang without any complaints?!”

“Do I deserve it?!”
