Chapter 211 The Truth of That Year
"Seniors, if you truly believe I am a villain who came to destroy the Northern Ridge Holy Land, then just like that couple who drowned their newborn son, drown me directly!" the fake holy son continued.
"Let me give up completely, and let the world know just how heartless you people of the Northern Ridge Holy Land truly are!"
People from other sects nearby heard this and all shook their heads.
"If the Northern Ridge Holy Land really does this, it's going too far. Maybe they really just feel they've been treated unfairly and are coming back to seek justice?"
"Yes, if this is true, then the Baili family were truly despicable, actually trying to drown a newborn baby!"
"This is absolutely outrageous. I hope it's not true, otherwise it's ruining my impression of the Holy Land of Beiling."
"Who knows? This person in front of us is making it sound very plausible, so it might actually be true."
Many people around were talking about it. They had all come to check after hearing the voice in their hearts and then came to join in the fun.
They were naturally sharp-eyed and could hear the elders even from a distance, and of course, the elders could also hear what those people were saying.
Everyone looked rather grim, especially the elders of the Baili family, whose faces were ashen.
However, before they could refute it, the familiar voice rang out again.
[Lan Yue: Wow, that was really tough! They finally arrived at the crucial moment. How can these people fly so fast?]
[If it weren't for the Sixth Elder giving me a handyman, I probably wouldn't have been able to continue watching the drama unfold.]
Of course, she can watch the drama unfold on the system panel, but watching it that way is nothing compared to watching it live.
Lan Yue's favorite thing is to watch the drama unfold on the spot, especially in front of the parties involved. It always gives her a thrilling feeling that she might lose her life at any moment.
Lan Yue quickly shook her head, trying to shake off this strange feeling from her mind.
[It seems I arrived just in time. These people have already captured the fake Holy Son and haven't left yet. Let me see what's going on.]
[Wait, what this fake saint is saying is completely different from what I see on my system panel.]
Lan Yue's doubtful thoughts reached everyone's minds.
Those who were saying that Beiling Holy Land was not authentic also stopped, their faces filled with curiosity.
So was there some hidden story behind it? Could it be that this older brother had a very dangerous illness, and Baili's parents had no way to save him, so they had to painfully drown him first?
That is indeed very possible, after all, which parent would be willing to watch their newborn child suffer from illness?
It's better to end it all!
These people were already familiar with Lan Yue's inner thoughts, so they didn't think much of it.
However, the fake holy son, who was trapped by the specially made Immortal Binding Rope, was quite terrifying.
What's going on with this voice? Why is it ringing directly in his mind? He's never opened his spiritual consciousness!
The fake saint suddenly remembered a legend from the Demon Realm, which said that there was a very powerful little girl in the cultivation world. No matter which demon race it was, as long as it faced her, it could only end miserably. No demon race had ever been able to complete a mission under her nose!
Could this be the legendary one?
Lan Yue was completely unaware that she had become a legend among the demons, and was still fiddling with the system panel.
[Lan Yue: Finally found him! It turns out my memory wasn't wrong. This fake Holy Son is the one who's wrong. Look at how much he hates his parents. I thought the Baili couple had done something drastic back then.]
[It turns out that this drowning incident was not caused by heartless parents who wanted to kill their son or couldn't tolerate him.]
Instead, this fake holy son should be named Pu Chou. This Mr. Pu Chou... wait, is this name about revenge?
[I knew it sounded weird! Turns out, the combination of the two characters sounds like a pun on revenge, a desire to settle old scores. This was clearly premeditated!]
The fake saint in the distance froze. Pu Chou was a name he gave himself. When he chose the name, he was determined to take revenge and make those parents lose another son, making them wish they were dead.
This is not only his goal since childhood, but also the driving force that has kept him going until now. He survived in that cruel place called the Demon Realm entirely because of this obsession.
However, only the demons in the Demon Realm know this name. How did this voice know it?
Unlike others who attributed it to the magic artifact, Pu Chou immediately realized that there might be a traitor among the demons, otherwise his identity would have been discovered inexplicably.
Pu Chou didn't think it was because he hadn't acted well enough. He had been imitating this brother for hundreds of years, how could he have made a mistake? So it must be a problem with the demons!
Pu Chou gritted his teeth and cursed a bunch of idiots in his heart for being able to leak such a thing. No wonder that for the past thousand years, the demons could only cause trouble at the border of the Demon Realm, but had not been able to invade.
[Lan Yue: Let's take another look at the original reason. It's hilarious. When I first saw this, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. Now it seems the whole thing was just ridiculous.]
[The incident that Pu Chou remembered as drowning was actually when he was a child and, while playing, accidentally climbed into a chamber pot...]
