#1203 - Chapter 1203: Only Ye Kong

Hearing this, even Ye Kong was stunned for a moment.

At this moment, Elder Wang, who had been silent all along, added, "However, if Ye Kong finds out that you used him to achieve your goals this time, what will happen?"

"He won't find out," Sima Shizun continued. "I have already sealed the memories of everyone involved in this incident and unified their statements, and the only two who knew the truth have been killed. Once the Supreme Initial Academy is rebuilt after the disaster and the delegation sent by the Upper Realm leaves, this matter will sink without a trace, and no one will mention it again."

"Also, if we're talking about using someone, weren't you the one who kept recommending your precious disciple to me from the very beginning? Elder Wang. Why is it that now that things have come to this, you want to push all the blame onto my head?" Sima Shizun blocked Elder Wang with a few words.

"This is a good thing to eliminate dissidents, how can it be considered a crime? Come, elders, let's all drink. Of course, we will fulfill our promise. Once there is a vacancy in the Upper Realm, we will transfer Ye Kong to ascend to the Upper Realm. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone? Hahaha!" The representative from the Upper Realm raised his glass to the two of them.

Elder Wang's face was displeased. "However, even so, why hide it from Ye Kong all along? He clearly knew about this matter before the start of the Sect Ranking Tournament, but you kept preventing him from finding out the truth."

"The more people who know about something, the harder it is to control. Elder Wang, isn't that what we've always been doing? Do you want to betray all of us for the sake of your disciple Ye Kong?" Sima Shizun put away his smile and stared at Elder Wang with a heavy expression.

Elder Wang stood up. "It's just an excuse. Many years ago, the same excuse was used to defeat Lei Zhentian. I just want to tell you that Ye Kong and Lei Zhentian are completely different people!"

After saying that, Elder Wang pushed the door open and left.

Ye Kong followed him in and saw that Elder Wang had already sat down. "Ask whatever you want to know," Elder Wang said.

Ye Kong suddenly stood there, all the guesses and the things he had just heard surged into his throat in an instant. His mouth opened and closed, wanting to make some sound, but he was blocked. After a long while, he calmed down and asked, "The truth about the secret of the back mountain of the Supreme Initial Academy is… is the Taotie really the resentment of Lei Zhentian?"

"Yes," Elder Wang said.

"Back then, after the Supreme Initial Academy sealed Lei Zhentian, the thirteenth elder, Elder Tu, out of personal feelings for Lei Zhentian, left a trace of Lei Zhentian's bones and scattered them in the back mountain of the Supreme Initial Academy, considering it letting him return to his roots.

Unexpectedly, a moment of misjudgment caused a great mistake. Lei Zhentian, relying on a trace of bones, gathered all his resentment. Over thousands of years, he gradually transformed into the giant beast Taotie, but we have always kept it locked in the cave in the back mountain, isolating it from human aura, so that it can only be imprisoned here. If no one interferes, it will continue to be sealed in the back mountain, and everything will be safe for thousands of years.

It's just that the handling of Lei Zhentian's matter was always handled by the Supreme Initial Academy from beginning to end, and outsiders inevitably had opinions. There have always been rumors that Lei Zhentian was not dead and was locked in the back mountain of the Supreme Initial Academy. Therefore, some people have always been eager to do something about the back mountain of the Supreme Initial Academy.

And the Lefeng Mountain sect fifteen years ago was a gathering of these people, specifically to destroy the reputation of the Supreme Initial Academy as number one in this year's Sect Ranking Tournament, and at the same time release Lei Zhentian and overturn the entire Upper Realm.

We got the news early on and planned all of this. The rest is what you heard outside the tavern."

After Elder Wang said all of this, Ye Kong stood there, as if he had experienced a dream that lasted for thousands of years.

In an instant, the face of the giant beast Taotie seemed to make him see Lei Zhentian, who had despised the heroes on the battlefield and looked down on the world!

"So, is Lei Zhentian really dead?" Ye Kong asked.

"He is indeed dead," Elder Wang no longer concealed. "Back then, the thirteen elders carried out a brutal massacre of Lei Zhentian. The reason why the results were not announced was because it was really difficult to announce."

On the blood-red ground, a group of bloody and blurred bodies struggled to stand up, their breath weak in their chests, and their internal organs were turning into blood that flowed out of their orifices.

Before he could reach out, one sharp sword after another pierced his chest.

Puchi, puchi…

A full nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine sharp swords all pierced through his chest. Under the gray sunlight, only two eyes looked towards the Upper Realm.

He did not disappear into ashes, but experienced a cruel massacre.

For three days and three nights, until he completely lost his breath.

"This all started with our Supreme Initial Academy, and it will end with the Supreme Initial Academy," Elder Wang closed his eyes, unable to bear it.

Ye Kong, however, understood everything. "But, why choose me?"

Sima Shizun's words still lingered in his ears, "Just because I look like Lei Zhentian?"

"No, you are a hundred times, a thousand times stronger than him," Elder Wang stood up. "At that time, when Sima Shizun mentioned you, he wanted to find a good place for you in the Upper Realm, so I agreed to him. If you want to blame someone, blame me."

"No, I won't," Ye Kong helped Elder Wang up. "I am very grateful to you."

That night, Elder Wang did not return, and Ye Kong did not return either.

Sima Shizun immediately joined forces with all the disciples of the Supreme Initial Academy to search for them.

The entire Supreme Initial Academy was turned upside down, and even the surrounding hundred miles were searched, but they were nowhere to be found.

Could it be that Elder Wang felt guilty and took Ye Kong away?

When dawn arrived on the third day, a subordinate disciple reported, "Elder Wang and Ye Kong have returned."

Sima Shizun immediately went to greet them. Elder Wang still looked unhappy and left after glancing at Sima Shizun. On the other hand, Ye Kong's face was full of joy, and his complexion was rosy, as if he had had several great health treatments.

"Ye Kong, where did you go? Don't you know that all the disciples of the Supreme Initial Academy put down their work and searched for you for a few days," Gongsun Qing approached him, his words full of worry, but his face was full of dissatisfaction.

"Went out to play, wandering around," Ye Kong stretched out his hand and yawned. "I'm tired, I'm going back to rest."

"Ye Kong, hey, slow down," Zhang Tie chased after him from behind, and disappeared after a while.

When he arrived at Ye Kong's cave, he saw Ye Kong covering himself with a quilt and sleeping soundly. Only then did he feel relieved and turned to leave.

The moment Zhang Tie left, Ye Kong directly flashed into the cultivation room and absorbed all the cultivation methods that Elder Wang had taught him in the past three days. He felt that his whole body was much lighter, his spiritual power was more explosive, and he was about to reach a higher level.

Elder Wang took Ye Kong to the clouds and imparted all his life's skills to Ye Kong.

Then, he said in Ye Kong's ear, "You are you, the only Ye Kong in heaven and earth!"
