Chapter 584: The Traitorous Disciple
At first, Qin Sang had remained skeptical, but time and again the information he extracted from Yu Hua proved accurate. He had used that intelligence to ambush Daoist Jiupao and seize his Golden Core.
He had suspected that Yu Hua might secretly have another identity, one with high status within Kuiyin Sect, which would explain his deep knowledge of Daoist Jiupao.
At the time, Yu Hua's primordial spirit had already been sealed by the Heavenly Corpse Talisman, and the three Golden Core elders of Kuiyin Sect had all perished, leaving no one to verify anything.
Looking back now, it was likely all thanks to Yi Tianye.
Yi Tianye had been Daoist Jiupao’s senior uncle. He had watched him grow up and knew him inside out. That he could uncover Daoist Jiupao’s secrets was no surprise.
Daoist Jiupao’s body had been destroyed and his Golden Core left shattered, and he had barely escaped with his life.
Yi Tianye didn’t appear to have been much better off.
What remained unclear was what relationship had once existed between Yi Tianye and Yu Hua, and why Yi Tianye hadn’t contacted Daoist Jiupao, instead choosing to secretly investigate him.
At the mention of Yu Hua’s name, Yi Tianye suddenly erupted in fury.
"That traitorous wretch. Back then, I barely managed to escape with a sliver of my soul, hiding within his body. My lifespan was nearing its end, and I was grievously injured. Fortunately, I had once obtained a secret art of the ghost path, allowing me to burn my soul, abandon reincarnation, and switch to the ghost path to extend my life."
"But that vile brat, he feigned obedience, only to betray me during my weakest moment while I was altering my cultivation. He turned against his master and ancestors, ambushed me, and reduced me to a wandering soul."
"Later, he even imprisoned my soul, treated it like a plaything, subjected me to humiliation, and tried to force my secrets from me."
