Chapter 670: The Truth Behind Amnesia (Part 1)
Ah, ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! He is not blind!
These humans have really muddled things up!
The Ghost King smiled with curved eyes and continued speaking to Xiao Xue: "Well, actually, whether it is or isn’t doesn’t matter that much. What matters, little ghost, is that he has suffered a very serious..."
Before he could say "injury," a few strong purple lights transformed into sharp swords that came slashing directly at the Ghost King. That’s right, slashing; the Ghost King felt infinitely depressed inside, but now that the fight had started, he couldn’t just stand idle, so the two of them started battling again.
The Ghost King also forgot to manage that bunch of ghost spirits still covered by Xiao Xue’s Rebirth Mantra.
Over here, the three of them...
Han Jing turned her head to instruct Lan Ling to watch closely, making sure those ghost spirits didn’t escape, while hastily stepping over to Yun Feng’s side and demanded: "Tell me clearly, what the hell is going on?"
Yun Feng looked a bit sheepish: "Um, Jing’er, back then, the news I sent you via Lan Ji had... had a slight discrepancy."
Han Jing...
"Discrepancy?"
Yun Feng pondered how to explain to Han Jing when he felt the terrifyingly low pressure around him. He had no choice but to speak frankly: "Jing’er, I really didn’t mean to mislead you. When I found Yun Peng back at Beihan Palace, I indeed felt his pulse and confirmed he was struck with ten Soul Stabilizing Needles. You know I’m no match for Han Qingjue, so there was no other way but to have Lan Ji first go back to give you the news."
"And then what? What happened afterward?" Han Jing pressed for more.
"It’s like this: Han Qingjue held me in the Beihan Palace, demanding I heal Yun Peng. Yun Peng was so severely injured at that time, barely holding onto his last breath," Yun Feng glanced at the two people embroiled in combat, estimating that the fight wouldn’t end anytime soon, so he patiently explained to Han Jing: "At first, I didn’t focus on the Soul Stabilizing Needles in his body because, harmful as they were, they at least saved his life. Otherwise, he might not have made it through. It took me over two months just to heal his wounds, and only then did I realize that although the Soul Stabilizing Needles were indeed implanted, their placement was off."
"I found it peculiar at the time, but I dared not act recklessly until Yun Peng woke up. That’s when he told me he knew that Xia Ji would most likely have Ling Yue kill him, and even if she didn’t, she would make his life miserable. So he was always prepared; even though he was knocked unconscious by Xia Ji, his awareness stayed alert to keep himself awake. After you and Lan Ling left, Xia Ji indeed ordered Ling Yue to kill him, but Han Qingjue arrived and blocked Xia Ji."
Han Jing frowned: "Did she really save Su Yu?"
Yun Feng sighed: "You could say she did but also didn’t. It should be noted that Xia Ji and Han Qingjue indeed conspired, stealing the Beiming Pearl and harming Elder Yun, creating chaos in the Spirit Cultivation Realm. Han Qingjue isn’t stupid; controlling her wouldn’t be easy for Xia Ji, so she helped Xia Ji but naturally had a backup plan. So Xia Ji agreed to spare Yun Peng’s life. But if Yun Peng woke up just like that, Han Qingjue wouldn’t gain any benefit. Yun Peng wouldn’t only not be grateful to her but might even kill her, so she wouldn’t be foolish enough. Therefore, she required Xia Ji to erase Yun Peng’s memory, and that was when Xia Ji came up with the idea of using the Soul Stabilizing Needles."
