Chapter 357 - 357 344 The Truth of the Matter

Chapter 357: Chapter 344: The Truth of the Matter Chapter 357: Chapter 344: The Truth of the Matter Ye Chen looked at the stunned Su Hong and said, “Mutant Winged Dragon claimed that I was his son; he said you know the truth.”

It seems he already knows.

Su Hong looked around, aside from a few lanterns, there was only the two of them.

“Yes, you are indeed Mutant Winged Dragon’s son.” Su Hong knew he could no longer hide the truth.

“So why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Ye Chen had misunderstood for many years. He had already figured out the reason but still asked.

“I planned to tell you, but I wasn’t prepared. I was afraid you couldn’t accept it.”

“But do you think you can hide it?”

“Yes, I was indeed naive to think I could hide it.” Su Hong said.

“What is the grudge between the Immortal-Demon Domain and the Dragon Slaying Clan?”

Leaning on a pillow, Su Hong knew he could no longer hide these matters. He said, “Alright, I will tell you. All of these happened three hundred years ago. At that time, not only the Immortal-Demon Domain was protecting the Central Plains, there was also the Dragon Slaying Clan. The Wolf Clan later invaded the Central Plains, so the Immortal-Demon Domain and the Dragon Slaying Clan joined forces.

Together they confronted the Wolf Clan. At that time, in a wind valley, the people of the Immortal-Demon Domain decided to stop the Raging Wolf Clan there since they would destroy the Central Plains if they entered. So our ancestors, regardless of any cost, had to stop the Raging Wolf Clan from entering the Central Plains. The Dragon Slaying Clan arrived at the wind valley first.”

“Get to the point!”

“People from the Dragon Slaying Clan fought tenaciously against the Wolf Clan. As the Wolf Clan’s numbers increased, our participation ended up being futile. Eventually, our ancestors from both the Immortal and Demon Domain decided to blow up the mountains on both sides of the wind valley and block the entrance to the Central Plains.”

“They abandoned the Dragon Slaying Clan?”

“Yes. In retrospect, it seems inhumane, but at that time, it was an urgent situation. It was the correct action to take, and it indeed blocked the valley.”

“Then you didn’t consider the people of the Dragon Slaying Clan.”

Su Hong continued, “Yes, but if our ancestors hadn’t done that, the dead wouldn’t just be from the Dragon Slaying Clan. It could’ve been the entire Central Plains. Our ancestors had no choice. If they hadn’t acted as they did, we wouldn’t have been able to stop the Raging Wolf Clan. Sometimes, that’s the way it is. Some things come at a cost. I cannot absolve the actions of that time, but bringing up the past now makes no difference. What was meant to happen has happened, and there is no longer any significance.”

Ye Chen didn’t respond.

“Indeed, what the people of the Immortal-Demon Domain did was wrong. But as to what exactly happened back then, I do not know. However, dwelling on it now is meaningless. But your father and the people of the Dragon Slaying Clan have held a grudge.”

“How did the people of the Dragon Slaying Clan survive then?”

“Actually, most of them died. Only a small part survived and continued to grow, resulting in their eventual revenge.”

Su Hong continued, “Your father seized this opportunity to marshal the Dragon Slaying Clan for revenge, but I think it was more out of his own desire to overthrow the Immortal-Demon Domain. He claimed it was to clear the past, but is it really just for revenge?”

Ye Chen maintained his silence.

“The unification of the Wuji Domain and South Wasteland, and turning Wasteland City into a sea of fire – these are things you already know. Your father isn’t just after revenge for the past anymore, he has become even more ruthless. If the Immortal-Demon Domain were to lose, I can’t imagine how many places would end up like Wasteland City – a sea of fire in the end.”

Su Hong continued, “Now, the Central Plains have always been protected by the Immortal-Demon Domain and remained relatively peaceful, with no significant incidents. But can you imagine what the Central Plains will become if the Immortal-Demon Domain is defeated? How many people will die? I don’t know, but you can definitely imagine.”

Of course, Ye Chen could imagine.

“Your mother and I did not tell you the truth back then, for your own good. However, I did not expect that you would be targeted by the people of the Evil Domain, and that it would lead to your mother’s death. I must take responsibility for that and I deeply regret it.”

Su Hong continued, “I heard from the others that your martial arts are good. Can you stand against the Dragon Slaying Clan? I believe, if you are willing to help, we will be able to hold on, especially now that I am injured.”

At this moment, someone came into the courtyard carrying a bowl of medicine soup. The door to the main hall was closed. Seeing Zhan Ze outside, they asked, “Who’s inside?”

“Ye Chen.”

“With your father?”

“Yes, let’s not interrupt them.”

Feng Nianmei, who was carrying the medicinal soup, could not resist coming closer to listen to what the people inside were talking about.

Zhan Ze shouted, “Mother!”

But Feng Nianmei still pushed him aside.

They heard Ye Chen say, “But I’m from the Dragon Slaying Clan. Do you trust me?”

Su Hong laughed, “I believe you will stand on the side of justice.”

“Aren’t you afraid that I might end up following my father?”

“I believe you won’t. I’m good at judging people – you have a righteous heart and you know what’s right. Eighteen years ago, your mother chose to stand on the side of justice. She stole the Jade Energy Ring within your father’s Dragon Slayer Sword, ultimately making the sword lose its power, which allowed us to defeat the Dragon Slaying Clan.”

Ye Chen raised his head, saying, “If the people of the Immortal Domain and Demon Domain know my true identity, they won’t believe me.”

“Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone. That’s why I only let you see me.”

Ye Chen remained silent.

“You should know what justice is; the incident at Wasteland City wasn’t too long ago. If your father, the Mutant Winged Dragon, overtakes Immortal City and defeats Immortal and Demon Domains, no force will be able to withstand the Dragon Slaying Clan.” Su Hong continued, “I will make you the Alliance Leader. If you want, I can take you as my adoptive son and forever keep your origin a secret.”

Ye Chen looked at Su Hong and said, “The truth cannot be hidden. You don’t need to do this, and I won’t let you either.” He wouldn’t care if that’s really the case.

“No, the Mutant Winged Dragon might tell everyone, but I can assure you, I believe people would rather believe my words. Don’t worry.”

“Actually, I don’t care that much.”

“Help the Immortal and Demon Domains, save the Central Plains. The Central Plains need you now.” Su Hong said.

Feng Nianmei standing outside the door just happened to hear their conversation, she muttered, “Is he really the son of the Mutant Winged Dragon?”

“Mom, what do you mean by ‘the son of the Mutant Winged Dragon’?” Su Zhanze was confused.

“It seems your father said that Ye Chen is the son of the Mutant Winged Dragon.”

“Really? That’s what I just heard.”

Zhan Ze still felt doubtful, he shouted, “Mom, stop eavesdropping!”

Only then did Feng Nianmei retreat.

Zhan Ze, however, was lost in thoughts, he always thought that Ye Chen was the child of his father and Ye Xue.

Su Hong looked at Ye Chen and said: “Please help Immortal and Demon Domains. I know sooner or later you’ll end up standing on the side of righteousness. You can imagine what would happen if the control of the Central Plains falls into the hands of your father.”

“You rest, I will do my utmost to help.” Ye Chen stood up. Even though he said that, he found it hard to accept the reality. The revelation hit him too fast.

“I will have them recommend you as the new Alliance Leader.” Su Hong said.

“No need, I’m not interested in that.” Ye Chen had already turned and walked out.

Not long after, Su Hong summoned Qiao Fanfeng and Guo Mingyu over and said, “It seems I can’t help you guys anymore.”

Guo Mingyu said, “Don’t worry, Ye Chen and I combined should be able to handle the people of the Dragon Slaying Clan.”

Su Hong nodded and said, “Yes, Ye Chen is very talented and decisive. Fortunately, he predicted in advance that there might be a surprise attack on Heavenly City.”

Qiao Fanfeng said, “Yes, we didn’t expect it, but indeed, he is more cautious than us.”

“Next, I hope you and Ye Chen can jointly fight against the Dragon Slaying Clan, and hopefully, the Immortal and Demon Domains can survive this crisis.”

Guo Mingyu said, “Don’t worry, we can definitely survive this crisis. We will certainly defeat the Dragon Slaying Clan.”

Su Hong said, “I don’t know how to defeat the Dragon Slaying Clan right now, but currently, the most important thing is to stabilize our position, we can’t be defeated by them. Only when we are standing on an invincible ground can we think of a way to defeat them.”

Guo Mingyu nodded slightly and said, “You don’t need to worry about these things.”

“Although the Defense System is still functioning, it cannot let the Dragon Slaying Clan destroy the Taiji Tower again.”

Qiao Fanfeng nodded.

Ye Chen returned to the plaza with his head down. Seeing him, Yu Yun’s heart sank even more. She asked, “What did Sect Leader Su say to you?”

“Nothing.” Ye Chen seemed spiritless.

“Why don’t I see a bit of joy in you? After all, you helped the people of the Immortal and Demon Domains to repel the attack.”

“Is now the time to be joyful?” At that moment he felt like crying. Why did it have to be this way? His father had killed the person he loved and was a homicidal maniac. Mother, if only you were here, what should I do?

“But we have seen hope, right? Are you worried about your father, Su Hong? The divine physician said, although he is severely injured and probably can’t fight anymore, his life is not in danger.”

“He is not my father.”

“I know, I know you don’t want to admit it, I understand.”
