Are all the love-brained villains my apprentices?

Du Sheng nodded, then shook his head.

“Master has high praise for Cheng Anshi.

As for saying that he betrayed the human race and joined the demon race, I certainly don't believe it.

But……"

Du Sheng paused and frowned slightly.

Elder Ji was a man of impatient personality, so he took over the conversation upon seeing this.

"But the evidence of Cheng Anshi's incident was solid."

Lin Wenyu shifted her gaze to Elder Ji.

"unambiguous evidence?"

"Yes, I was one of the people sent by Xuanling Sect to investigate."

Elder Wen, who had been silent, finally spoke.

He stroked his beard and recalled what happened.

“At that time, although the incident happened suddenly, the old leader of Qiankun Sect came to Xuanling Sect in person.

Please ask Xuanling Sect to send someone to investigate.

And I am the one who is responsible for this.

Not long after our men were dispatched, He Huamao returned covered in wounds. "

He Huamao was Cheng Anshi's junior fellow apprentice and the only disciple sent out by Qiankun Sect who survived.

Elder Wen continued.

“After He Huamao came back, we handed him over to Qiankun Sect.

We found Cheng Anshi and his men based on the remaining spiritual energy on He Huamao's body."

Elder Wen's face was solemn, as if he was recalling a painful memory.

"When we arrived, all we saw was corpses all over the ground.

None of the disciples sent out by Qiankun Sect survived.

Cheng Anshi himself is nowhere to be found.

No trace of him was found at the scene.

But after confirmation, the fatal injuries on those disciples were undoubtedly caused by Cheng Anshi himself.

besides……"

Elder Wen paused at this point before continuing.

“Besides that, there are still remnants of demonic energy there.

The bodies of those dead disciples were all infected with demonic energy to varying degrees."

Lin Wenyu frowned slightly as she listened to Elder Wen's words.

“Demonic energy?

I haven’t heard of this.”

The version that Lin Wenyu heard only mentioned that Cheng Anshi colluded with the demons to massacre his fellow disciples.

However, there was no mention that these disciples of Qiankun Sect were infected with demonic energy.

“Yes, I personally examined the bodies of those children and told the old master the news.

But... in the end, for some reason, this news was not known to the public."

Elder Zhan from the Medicine Sect spoke.

Almost all of them still remember the incident vividly.

"And right after that, the old master, who was already in poor health, passed away not long after.

The position of leader of Qiankun Sect fell to the surviving He Huamao.

Moreover, not long after He Huamao became the head of the sect, he started to have a good relationship with the Taixu Sect, which he had no connection with before."

Elder Ji added with a sullen face.

Lin Wenyu's frown deepened.

It’s Fan Kun again.

“And after that, the news that Cheng Anshi was a traitor to the demon clan began to be widely publicized.

Almost overnight, everyone knew what Cheng Anshi had done.

And all those who spoke for Cheng Anshi were also labeled as Cheng Anshi's accomplices.

I even just asked at the beginning why they didn't mention that the disciples of Qiankun Sect showed signs of being infected by demonic energy before they died.

Fan Kun asked me if I wanted to plead for Cheng Anshi."

When saying this, Elder Zhan was very indignant.

He had a hot temper to begin with, and when he thought of Fan Kun's hypocritical face at that time, his anger rose rapidly.

“After that, He Huamao also drove Cheng Anshi’s family out of Qiankun Sect in accordance with the sect’s disciples’ wishes.

There was no news after that.

If it weren't for Junior Master, we wouldn't have known that Cheng Anshi's son was still alive."

Seeing Elder Zhan’s angry look, Du Sheng took over the conversation.

“This matter involves too many aspects.

But if the news that Cheng Junze is still alive is known to Qiankunmen.

I am afraid……"

Du Sheng was worried when he mentioned this matter.

Although there are still doubts about what happened at the time, in the eyes of the relatives and friends of the deceased disciples of Qiankun Sect.

Cheng Anshi is undoubtedly the culprit.

But now that Cheng Anshi is dead, those people will inevitably direct their resentment towards Cheng Anshi's family.

It was for this reason that Cheng Junze's mother chose to disappear with the young Cheng Junze.

"In that case, let's protect them until the truth is revealed."

Lin Wenyu put down the teacup in her hand.

A plot suddenly appeared in Lin Wenyu's mind, about Cheng Junze.

It is not mentioned in the novel.

In the original world line, after Cheng Junze left the secret realm, he was inexplicably exposed even though he was careful enough.

Those who were chasing him did not choose to attack Cheng Junze.

Instead, he deliberately chose a time when Cheng Junze was not at home and killed his mother who was alone at home.

When Cheng Junze came back, what he saw was his mother's dead body.

And the notes left by those people, which were euphemistically meant to let him also experience the pain of losing a loved one.

Cheng Junze fell into pain and self-blame.

He even nearly went insane.

Fortunately, Cheng Junze met the heroine at this time. With the company and guidance of the heroine, Cheng Junze slowly untied his knot.

And he became more determined to track down Cheng Anshi.

This plot suddenly appeared in Lin Wenyu's mind.

It was as if someone wanted to tell Lin Wenyu so that she could make a better choice.

I remembered that after returning from the secret realm, I haven't shown up since then.

There was a hint of smile in Lin Wenyu's eyes.

If that was the case, how could she not do as it wished?
