Chapter 390 - : Irrefutable Evidence!

Previously, there were only three Prime Masters on the Holy Spirit Continent. They were the old dean Di Ruofeng, the Grand State Master Mo Xiao, and the Merman Clan’s Prime Emperor Di Nuo. Now, with the newly advanced Prime Master Lingfeng and Prime Emperor Caro, there were a total of five.

Sheng Lingfeng poured some tea into Yin Mingchong and Caro Xiangfu’s cups. He also mentioned, “Don’t forget, there’s also a new Saint in the Purifying Spirit World.”

“Saint Ling Xiao.” Yin Mingchong and Lin Jiansheng had always been at odds. He sneered and said, “He’s unreliable.”

Upon hearing this, Caro Xiangfu said with a smile, “Patriarch Yin, you’re wrong. In my opinion, although Saint Ling Xiao was a little stingy, his character was flawless. Saint Ling Xiao was also among those who tore apart Saint Xuan Ye’s true face in the battle.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Caro glanced at Yin Mingchong with a teasing gaze and said deliberately, “Patriarch Yin, on the other hand, as one of the vice presidents of the Alliance, why didn’t I see your figure during the battle?”

After a pause, Caro Xiangfu leisurely added, “However, Grand Master Yin has always been righteous. I believe you were busy with work that day and couldn’t take your time.”

Yin Mingchong glanced at Caro Xiangfu gloomily, but he didn’t explain anything in the end.

Seeing that the atmosphere wasn’t right, Mo Yunyan hurriedly changed the topic and said, “This time, we’ve sent the core disciples with the most potential into the Saint Tomb. Who do you think has the highest chance of obtaining the Saint’s inheritance?”

Compared to the previous topic, this topic was much lighter.

The elder of the Xuanyuan Clan said subconsciously, “I don’t dare to say anything about other people, but Sheng Xiao is definitely the one with the highest chance of obtaining the inheritance among these young children.”

Sheng Xiao had become famous when he was young. He had an unshakable position in the hearts of the elders.

Hearing this, Sheng Lingfeng was also happy, but there was a humble and warm smile on his face.

He shook his head. “Back then, I also accepted the legacy test of Prime Master Tie Feng, but I didn’t pass… In short, our elder has a rather eccentric personality. He doesn’t value strength.”

Yin Mingchong said, “Among the Sheng family’s disciples, only Sheng Xiao and Sheng Yang have direct bloodline. If even Sheng Xiao can’t pass the test, I’m afraid Sheng Yang won’t have a chance.”

Yin Mingchong said, “Among the Sheng family’s disciples, only Sheng Xiao and Sheng Yang are related. If even Sheng Xiao can’t pass the test, I’m afraid Sheng Yang won’t have a chance.”

Sheng Lingfeng could laugh at Sheng Yang for being inferior to Sheng Xiao, but he couldn’t stand hearing others say that.

Sheng Lingfeng subconsciously defended his child. “Yang Yang is still young. Although she’s not as capable as her brother, she’s not bad in other aspects.”

Caro Xiangfu hurriedly nodded and said, “I’ve seen Sheng Yang many times. She’s a good child with a pure heart, unlike some girls, who are young but arrogant and willful. All they know how to do is to cause trouble.”

Yin Mingchong instantly frowned when he heard this, and then he immediately asked Caro Xiangfu, “Patriarch Caro, who are you scolding?!”

Caro Xiangfu blinked innocently and said blankly and helplessly, “Who did I scold?”

He explained, “Children are all treasures these days. All of them have been pampered and spoiled. Isn’t this a very common phenomenon? Patriarch Yin, why are you so angry? I didn’t say anything about your Yin Fu. If you want to pin it on yourself, you can’t blame me!”

“Or do you also know what your daughter is like? Is it because you feel guilty after being told the truth?”

Caro Xiangfu had targeted him three to four times today, and no matter how good of a temper Yin Mingchong had, he was unable to endure it.

He placed the teacup on the table heavily and scolded angrily, “Caro Xiangfu! Don’t think that just because the Caro Clan has a Prime Emperor, you guys are invincible! Everyone says that the wheel of fortune changes. How do you know that the Caro Clan’s ancestor can always protect you guys?”

Yin Mingchong recalled some of Caro Zhengyang’s past and said, “I heard that when Mr. Caro was young, he had done many ungrateful things. If someone does too many shameful things, even if they aren’t punished by law, they will be punished by the heavens!”

“What goes around comes around. I advise you to restrain yourself and not bite people like a rabid dog. You can’t bite them to death. Sooner or later, you will get revenge!”

Caro Xiangfu was also enraged. He also put down the teacup in his hand heavily and said in a sarcastic tone, “What a good saying. If you do too many shady things, even if you aren’t punished by law, you will still be punished by the heavens! Patriarch Yin, you dare to pat your chest and promise that you haven’t done shady things since you sat in your current position?”

Yin Mingchong retorted furiously. “What did I do?!” Yin Mingchong pointed at the sky and was on the verge of swearing. “I, Yin Mingchong, don’t have a guilty conscience. Tell me what I did wrong!”

“What wrong have you done?” Caro Xiangfu slammed the table and stood up. When he stood up, his big stomach made the tea table sway.

Sheng Lingfeng hurriedly stabilized the edge of the table. Only then did the cup on the table stabilize.

Caro Xiangfu lowered his head to question Yin Mingchong. “Yin Mingchong, let me ask you, after Prime Master Yin Mingjue sacrificed his life to save the world, do you dare to say that you weren’t secretly delighted?”

When he heard this, Yin Mingchong’s gaze became gloomy. He warned Caro Xiangfu. “Caro Xiangfu. I know that you had a deep friendship with my elder brother all those years ago and have always been brooding over his death. But my elder brother has already died for many years, so you should accept this fact. As for the secret delight you spoke of…”

Yin Mingchong’s expression instantly became sorrowful, and he asked innocently and aggrievedly, “What am I delighted about?! He’s my elder brother! Even though he and I were cousins, we were as close as brothers! I was extremely saddened by my elder brother’s death, so how could I be delighted?!”

“Why would you be delighted?” Caro Xiangfu said, “As a fellow young master of the Yin Clan, Yin Mingjue became famous at a young age and his reputation spread far and wide. On the other hand, you, Yin Mingchong, aren’t bad, but you were outshadowed by Yin Mingjue! He’s the moon in the sky, and you’re the candle, but how can the light of the candle compare to the radiance of the stars?”

Caro Xiangfu pointed out sharply and mercilessly. “After the death of the Prime Master, no one in the Yin Clan can outshadow you anymore. Do you dare to say that you’re not secretly happy? Not long after your brother died, you couldn’t wait to sit on the Patriarch’s seat. Do you dare to say that you didn’t covet the Patriarch’s seat before?!”

Yin Mingchong was angered. “I didn’t!”

“You did!” Caro Xiangfu cursed Yin Mingchong. “You did, but you refuse to admit it!”

“You’re simply slandering me! You’re slandering me!” It was unknown if it was because Yin Mingchong felt angry or guilty, but his entire body started trembling.

“I’m slandering you?” Caro Xiangfu pointed at the others present and said, “Ask everyone here what they think of you. Yin Mingchong, do you really think that everyone will believe you just because you pretend to be kind and righteous?”

“No one is stupid. Everyone has eyes and can tell what intentions you have! You say that I’m slandering you, then let me ask you, how did you lose the daughter of the Prime Master?!”

When he heard Caro Xiangfu mention Yin Huang, Yin Mingchong’s heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively explained, “As everyone knows, that child was stolen by the bandits!”

“Bandits? Hah!” Caro Xiangfu laughed at Yin Mingchong for being an idiot. “Yin Mingchong, what kind of place is the Yin Clan?! Is that a place where bandits can enter easily?”

“Yin Mingchong, to be honest, I suspected since the beginning that you were afraid of that child’s existence and cooperated with the so-called bandits to put on an act!”

Yin Mingchong’s face turned pale. “You, you…” Yin Mingchong held onto the chair behind him and panted heavily. He was so angry that he was trembling, and he seemed like he was about to have a heart attack.

Yin Mingchong patted his chest while saying angrily, “Caro Xiangfu. You’re slandering me. The Caro Clan has someone supporting you now, so you think you can do whatever you want.”

Yin Mingchong looked at Sheng Lingfeng with a pleading gaze. He said, “Prime Master Lingfeng, look, the Caro Clan is going to reign supreme.”

Sheng Lingfeng, who had been quietly watching the drama, could no longer simply stand by and watch.

He raised his head and condemned Caro Xiangfu. He said helplessly, “Patriarch Caro, you and Patriarch Yin are both old. You’re not young anymore. You can’t quarrel endlessly like a young man. Now, you both represent your respective families. You should be prudent with your words and actions. Besides…”

Sheng Lingfeng sighed. “Regarding the loss of the Prime Master’s daughter, we still have to find the person involved and capture that thief to find out the truth.”

Upon hearing this, Mo Yunyan subconsciously said, “It’s been 21 years. That child has probably passed away long ago. As for that bandit, no one knows who he is. There are so many bandits in this world. Who knows which one stole that child?!”

Caro Xiangfu suddenly snorted. He said, “Everyone, to be honest, there’s a reason why I’m so angry today.”

At this point, Caro Xiangfu suddenly took out a letter from his pocket.

Staring at the letter in Caro Xiangfu’s hand, everyone was somewhat surprised. “Patriarch Caro, what is this?”

Caro Xiangfu raised the letter. “Last night,” he said, “someone secretly sent this letter to my room. As for the contents of the letter…”

Caro Xiangfu suddenly took out a school badge from the envelope. Everyone was a graduate of the Divine Realm Academy. They recognized it at a glance.

“Are you curious about whose school badge this is?” Caro Xiangfu flipped the school badge. Everyone narrowed their eyes and saw two words written on the back of the school badge—

Yin Mingjue!

Yin Mingchong’s pupils suddenly constricted when he saw this school badge.

On the other hand, Caro Xiangfu was observing Yin Mingchong’s every move. When he saw Yin Mingchong’s shifty look, he sneered and told everyone, “As everyone knows, the Prime Master gave this school badge to his beloved daughter at his daughter’s 100-day banquet. It was on that child’s blanket!”

“Patriarch Yin must still remember that the day the child was stolen, she was wrapped in that blanket!”

Yin Mingchong stared fixedly at the school badge and fell silent.

“There was a message that was given to me along with this school badge!” Caro Zhengyang opened the letter in the envelope and flipped open the contents of the letter to show everyone. Everyone leaned closer and saw the words on the paper—

[After 21 years of hiding, Ah Huang has decided not to hide anymore. After the Saint Tomb trials are over, I hope Mr. Caro can help Ah Huang return to the Yin Clan!]

That child was still alive?

Didn’t Zhou Buwen say that the child had already been torn apart and eaten by the demon beasts?

When he saw this letter, Yin Mingchong’s body stopped trembling and his face stopped blushing.

Caro Xiangfu put the letter on the table, causing the teacup on the table to shatter and tea to splash.

“Yin Mingchong! What exactly have you done to actually force your only niece to hide outside for 21 years? She didn’t even dare to return to the Yin Clan, and in the end, she actually came to look for me to help when she was at her wit’s end!”

Everyone stared at the letter on the table and looked towards Yin Mingchong.

Mo Yunyan knocked on the tea table and said, “Patriarch Yin, you should indeed give an explanation for this matter. Otherwise, the entire cultivation world won’t have the nerve to see the Prime Master.”

Yin Mingchong was thinking about something and didn’t say anything.

When he saw Yin Mingchong being terrified to the point of being speechless, Caro Xiangfu felt extremely delighted.

Caro Xiangfu continued to provoke him. “Yin Mingchong, that child has already entered the Saint Tomb. When she comes out, your hypocritical nature will be completely exposed!”

Yin Mingchong finally reacted when he heard this. He slowly raised his eyes and looked directly at Caro Xiangfu while asking, “That child entered the Saint Tomb?”
