Chapter 737: The Pig That Rooted His Family's Cabbage

Yun Batian lowered his gaze to look at Yun Lu, shook his head, and a hint of pity flashed in his eyes.

The truth, sometimes, is often cruel enough to be shocking.

However, Ye Qingran is right; even if it is cruel, it is time to tell the other party the truth.

"What truth? Yun Batian, hurry up and say it!"

Yun Batian took out a Memory Stone, held it in his hand, and said, "No matter how much I say, it's ultimately empty talk; the truth you want is in here—look for yourselves."

In the blink of an eye, the Memory Stone fell into Yun Lu's hands.

Yun Lu stared at the Memory Stone in his hand, his heart involuntarily racing, the bad premonition growing stronger.

He subconsciously looked toward Yun Batian, but saw him calm, without much anger from being offended.

The more he was like this, the more uneasy they felt.

Yun Xin had already impatiently infused Mysterious Force, opened the Memory Stone; after a flash of light, a segment of image projected into the void, inside which appeared a figure.

Yun Lu and his grandson instantly recognized the person as Yun Haotian.

"Haotian..." Yun Lu choked out.

His son, in the blink of an eye, had been gone for over ten years.

In the Memory Stone, Yun Haotian's eyes were blood-red, his face exhausted, like a defeated rooster, nowhere near the legendary vigor.

"When you see this image, your child has already grown into an adult..."

Yun Haotian's voice was suppressed and painful, as he spoke, wiping his face, looking extremely weathered.

These words also let the attentive hear the deeper meaning.

Just now Yun Batian asked Yun Xin's age; in the Memory Stone, Yun Haotian firmly said Yun Xin had already grown into an adult, obviously a prearranged agreement.

"... I deserve death, do not misunderstand the Clan Leader."

When Yun Haotian said this, everyone was stunned.

It seems the death of Yun Haotian and his wife indeed had another hidden truth!

Yun Lu and his grandson stared at each other, both seeing shock in the other's eyes.

"No, impossible!" Yun Lu could hardly believe this was true.

How could his son deserve death?

Clearly he died a miserable death due to Yun Batian's persecution!

"Fake, this is fake!" Yun Lu shouted, unwilling to accept the fact.

Yun Batian calmly said, "You watch it through first."

"It was I who was blinded, tried to join the Bai Tribe people to steal the Cloud Map; I betrayed the Yun Tribe first, my sin deserves ten thousand deaths!"

Yun Haotian allied with the Bai Tribe people, once attempted to steal the Cloud Map?

The Yun Tribe people present were all dumbfounded; they had never heard of this matter.

They had always thought that Yun Haotian and his wife died because they privately criticized Yun Ling, angering the Clan Leader, who flew into a rage.

Never imagined the truth would be like this!

Yun Haotian said up to this point, fell silent for a long time, his face showing regret and remorse.

But everything is already too late, can never return to the past.

"The Clan Leader pitied Xin'er for being young, also appreciated my years of service, allowed me to conceal this matter, giving Xin'er you a healthy space to grow..."

Yun Haotian, sincere feelings, sentence from the heart, his words showed his gratitude toward Yun Batian.

Yun Lu and Yun Xin were already shocked to the point of despair, unable to regain composure for a long time.

Yun Haotian's words had reached this extent; they had long accepted this new fact. But for them, it was too cruel.

They had hated Yun Batian for so many years, hated the Yun Tribe for so many years, eyes open for revenge, closed eyes for nightmares, tormented every day, scheming every day.

But when the truth was unveiled, that bloody belief supporting them for so many years collapsed...

"Pfft~"

Yun Lu spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Grandfather!"

Yun Xin was terrified.

Yun Lu shook his head, "Xin'er, take care of yourself!" saying that, he raised his hand to strike his own Heavenly Spirit Cover to end himself, but was stopped by a Mysterious Force; looking, it was Ye Qingran.

"You want to die after making a mistake? Is there such a good thing in this world?"

Yun Lu's eyes were full of despair, he sought death wholeheartedly, as if only then could he be freed.

"Why didn't you tell us the truth earlier?"

Yun Xin gritted his teeth, loudly questioning Yun Batian.

"If I had told you the truth earlier, what would it change?"

Yun Batian asked lightly; Yun Xin was momentarily speechless, even showing a confused look.

Yes, even if Yun Batian had told them the truth long ago, what would it change?

Perhaps they would not live in hatred, but they would still not be well off.

He thought, he does not hate the Yun Tribe nor Yun Batian; he would hate his parents, hate their betrayal, let him and his grandfather lose reputation, bear the lifelong stigma of sinner and traitor.

He would also feel inferior, thinking he is a sinner's son, deserving only to live in shadows his whole life.

"How many 'ifs' can there be in this world?" Yun Lu suddenly shook his head and sighed lightly, no light in his eyes.

Wrong, they were all wrong!

"Yun Tribe sinner Yun Lu, willing to bear son's debt father repays, willing to accept all consequences, only begging the Clan Leader to spare my grandson Yun Xin once!"

Yun Lu suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowing hard.

His son is a Yun Tribe traitor, a clan‑betraying sinner, unforgivable; even if he were executed on the Zhan Yuntai, body split, his sin could not be washed away.

But he couldn't just watch his grandson; because of his father's sins, he would be implicated his whole life.

Grandfather, please don't say that! Father's debt, son repays—Clan Leader, I, Yun Xin, am willing to accept any punishment!

Yun Xin also knelt down and kowtowed.

I had already promised Yun Haotian to let bygones be bygones, but you grandfather and grandson tried to ambush me at such an important occasion—this is outright rebellion. Seize them and throw them into Yun Valley!

Yun Valley is the Yun Tribe's prison, dedicated to imprisoning Yun Tribe criminals.

Yun Batian gave the order, and soon Yun Tribe guards came up and took Yun Lu and Yun Xin away.

The Spirit Chaser Wing members watched Yun Lu and Yun Xin, and to this day they still haven't come to their senses.

Who would have thought these two are actually grandfather and grandson?

Ye Qingran glanced at the taken-away Yun Lu and Yun Xin, then turned her gaze to Yun Batian, feeling a mix of emotions.

She felt this grandfather seemed kinder than she had imagined.

"What are you looking at?" Yun Batian asked irritably, his beard trembling with his movements.

In his granddaughter's eyes, is he really that bad?

It truly broke his heart.

"I wasn't looking at anything; I just felt you're not... completely useless."

Yun Batian: "......"

Is this praise or an insult?

The Yun Tribe's Clan Leader Succession Ceremony ultimately came to nothing.

'Yun Lan' ultimately failed to get what she wanted, and Yun Batian remained the Yun Tribe's Clan Leader.

However, for the Yun Tribe's far-flung side branches that had traveled from all the great realms, this Clan Leader Succession Ceremony was extraordinarily exciting.

They had a premonition that after today, the entire Yunfu and even the whole Nan Yin Zhou would know: the Daughter of the Cloud Spirit has returned to the Yun Tribe!

And Yun Lan, who was once considered the most likely to inherit Yun Batian's mantle and become Yun Tribe Clan Leader, is actually an alien whose body has been taken over.

As for Yun Haotian, once hailed as the strongest lineage of the side branches, he actually colluded with the Bai Tribe, attempting to steal the Yun Tribe's treasured Cloud Map.

Without a doubt, Nan Yin Zhou is about to become lively!

At this moment, many people have come to the grand hall of the Yun Tribe.

Yun Batian naturally sat in the chief seat, while the Emperor Sovereign, who should have been his equal, was pushed aside by him.

From the moment Fu Hanxiu entered, Yun Batian's eyes never left him—not in admiration, but in disdain.

No matter how noble the Emperor Sovereign is, isn't he just a pig that roots for his cabbage?
