Chapter 717 - 718 The Secret of the Coffin
"Heh, if your father weren’t from the demon sect, do you think our Deputy Sect Leader would allow you to act recklessly? You would have been executed outside Black Dragon Island long ago," ridiculed a top demon sect expert.
Ye Wudao’s gaze was fixed on Dugu Ao as he asked, "What exactly is going on here?"
"This is a long story," Dugu Ao said lightly after taking a sip of tea. "Your father was once the Great Protector of the demon sect and had a close relationship with me! His strength and talent were not inferior to mine. In fact, he even had a chance to replace me and become the new Sect Leader of the demon sect, commanding a million members. Unfortunately, your father’s purpose in joining the demon sect was not that simple."
"Oh?" Ye Wudao looked puzzled.
"Our demon sect possesses a Book of Life and Death, which, along with the Shennong Scripture held by your mother, is known as one of the two great ancient scriptures. Combined, they could find the method to revive the dead!" Dugu Ao said with a faint smile. "Your father stole the demon sect’s Book of Life and Death, and when the matter was exposed, it implicated your entire family!"
"What?"
Ye Wudao couldn’t believe it and turned his gaze to the old rascal by his side.
"Godfather, did my father really steal the demon sect’s Book of Life and Death?"
The old rascal, puffing on his pipe, shook his head and said, "This matter is of great significance. You better remain ignorant until you reach the realm of War Saint!"
Then, the old rascal said to Dugu Ao, "Heh, Deputy Sect Leader Dugu, don’t you think so? It’s best not to involve the younger generation in the grievances of the past. This kid might not be much, but his character is still far better than that old demon, your father!"
