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 some significance.

Huangfu Ruiling smiled gently at her and said nothing more.

Suddenly, Ye Leng’an had a thought and asked, “Ling, remember 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 something for nothing. The power she absorbed from that formation was something she didn’t want at all. Moreover, gaining cultivation through such means wouldn’t benefit her future practice. So, she was exploring ways to extract that power.

Hearing her question, Huangfu Ruiling thought for a moment and nodded. “Sure, I’ll help you after we finish breakfast.”

“No rush!” Ye Leng’an seemed to have a mischievous idea, sporting a playful smile. “I think it’s better to do this somewhere else.”

Huangfu Ruiling was a bit puzzled but didn’t press further.

Afterward, they set aside the discussion and resumed 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 Enforcement Team had been hunting for.

While Ye Hongxuan held the current leadership position in the Ye family, it was Ye Yikun who remained more memorable. 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 times of natural disasters.

The revelation that the seemingly noble Ye Yikun was, in fact, an evil cultivator who had caused harm to numerous lives in pursuit of his cultivation goals came 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 sometimes, 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 some low-ranking disciple or someone 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 overwhelmed with work and didn’t have a moment to spare. But even so, he couldn’t undo the damage.

As for other Ye family members, they no longer respected Ye Yikun. All they felt was resentment, 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 Enforcement Team’s announcement, 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 Enforcement Team. And now, the two of them, worried about retaliation, were locked up in the Enforcement 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 former self. He was no longer the authoritative figure of the Ye family but appeared like an ordinary elderly man.
