Chapter 172 The Truth

While I was still in doubt, the light outside the house began to dim, and after a moment, it brightened again. This cycle repeated several times, as if representing the changing of the sun and moon.

Li Chunfeng finally returned to the Iron Tile Temple, looking haggard.

Li Chunfeng looked even more disheveled than when he had left the Iron Tile Temple covered in blood.

Back then, he at least had some vitality, but now he was only filled with despair.

After entering the Iron Tile Temple, Li Chunfeng finally couldn't control himself and cried bitterly, "Pianxian, I'm sorry. I trusted Qu Mo too much. He really didn't save you."

"Is the bond of life and death between us not as important as a Zhu Zining who's full of nonsense?"

"Pianxian..."

Li Chunfeng finally managed to suppress his sobs and stood up, walking towards the Coffin of Gods and Ghosts.

Not long after, Li Chunfeng dragged a coffin out, "Pianxian, don't worry. I've taken the Coffin of Gods and Ghosts and the relics of gods and ghosts. I will definitely help you create someone with a half-ghost body."

"Don't worry!"

Li Chunfeng gradually disappeared from my sight.

But my heart sank heavily.

The heart demon Li Po sneered, "You understand Li Chunfeng, don't you?"

"You know that Li Chunfeng has a fiery temper, but he's not someone who kills innocent people indiscriminately."

"So, how should he transform a half-ghost body?"

The heart demon Li Po's voice was like a sharp knife, stabbing fiercely into my heart, "You've already guessed the result, but you don't dare to think about it, you're afraid that if you admit that result, you'll become a demon."

"I told you that when the truth is revealed, it's like someone tearing open your wound, causing excruciating pain."

"But if you don't look, you'll never find the truth."

"Let me tell you!"

The heart demon Li Po said sinisterly, "Li Chunfeng promised to create a half-ghost person, but he can't just kill people. He doesn't want to do it carelessly either."

"Because if he just finds someone casually and turns them into a ghost, that person will definitely have resentment in their heart. Once resentment is formed, it won't be a perfect puppet."

"So, he thought of two people."

"One is his biological son, and the other is his direct disciple."

"He took the last two relics of gods and ghosts, enough to create two half-ghost people. One is you, and the other is Ye Yang."

"Have you ever wondered where Ye Yang's half-ghost body came from?"

The heart demon Li Po's voice suddenly rose, "Li Chunfeng knew that Ye Yang would definitely be reincarnated, so he found Ye Yang in advance and used the relics of gods and ghosts on his mother's body before he was even born."

"But you swallowed the relic when you were changing your fate."

"Li Chunfeng did this to ensure everything was foolproof, so he used different methods on you."

The heart demon Li Po said with a smile, "Think about the process of you escaping from your home?"

"Who is Li Chunfeng? The secret marshal of the Embroidered Clothes Guard in the underworld, his cultivation level is unimaginable."

"Unless gods and ghosts from both realms descend, who can force Li Chunfeng to flee in a panic?"

"Let's take a step back: even if gods and ghosts really came to kill him at that time, would Li Chunfeng just give up without making a single move?"

"Li Family Village is intact, and your home, except for the pool, hasn't lost a single tile."

"Are those traces of someone having done something?"

"The facts prove that Li Chunfeng didn't make a move at that time. In that case, why did he have to force you away?"

The heart demon Li Po's voice became even more bewitching, "Think about it carefully."

"Why did you enter an empty temple on your escape?"

"Was there a blood moon in the sky when you swallowed the relic of the ghost king?"

"At that time, you were just a child who didn't even know how to breathe and circulate your Qi. Could your physique withstand the transformation of the power of gods and ghosts?"

"If no one had helped you sort out your meridians at that time, you would have exploded and died, being blown into a pile of minced meat."

"Sorting out meridians like that requires at least a master above the Xiantian (pre-celestial) realm. Someone who can suppress the power of gods and ghosts at the same time must at least reach the Earthly Fiend realm."

"At that time, Qu Mo hadn't arrived yet. Who helped you sort out your meridians?"

"At that time, besides Li Chunfeng, was there anyone else?"

"You were deceived by Li Chunfeng."

"Even Qu Mo is deceiving you."

The heart demon Li Po said, "Think about it carefully. Why did Qu Mo arrive in time to see you?"

"Doesn't that mean Qu Mo knows that Li Chunfeng is married and has children? Moreover, he also knows that you will transform into a ghost on the night of the blood moon."

"In that case, do Li Chunfeng and Qu Mo both know who your birth mother is?"

"The answer is yes!"

"As a mother, no one would want their child to be neither human nor ghost."

"But Li Chunfeng insisted on making you half-ghosts, so he took you away from your birth mother's side from the moment you were born, and never mentioned anything about his wife."

"To Li Chunfeng, you are just a test subject."

"What father-son affection, what risking his life to save you, it's all fake."

The heart demon Li Po laughed and said, "Li Chunfeng said: in Qu Mo's eyes, the friendship between them is not as important as Zhu Zining. But in his eyes, is a son more important than the friendship between them?"

"Can you answer me?"

I gripped the hilt of the knife tightly and said, "Is everything you've shown me real?"
