Extra: The Man Behind the Scenes (Part 7)

"Because he had a guilty conscience," Ye Bufan said. "Gongyang Jue was a Great Ascension Peak expert before, but Uncle Su was just an ordinary person. After Possession, it would take a long time to integrate."

"For this reason, after his Possession, he found a place to hide and Cultivated for several years."

"Even so, he couldn't completely achieve Physical Body Fusion. Later, the Spiritual Qi on Earth suddenly revived, giving him the best opportunity, and only then did his strength recover to the Dongxu Realm."

"With this strength, he decided to travel around Huaxia, but since he directly underwent Possession and did not have Uncle Su's memories, he didn't know much about the capital's affairs."

"Moreover, after being trapped in the ancient mirror for so many years, he didn't know what Earth was like now."

"Out of caution, Gongyang Jue concealed his appearance and secretly found Dongfang Renjie, helping him erase the Divine Soul Blade memory. He wanted to use Dongfang Renjie's hand to establish his own power and then investigate the true situation on Earth."

Ye Bufan paused here. "It was also his bad luck that I happened to return from Kunlun Continent at that time."

"When he saw me destroy the Sun Moon Sacred Fire Sect and slay the Yamata no Orochi, he realized the strength gap was too large, so he immediately hid and continued to Cultivate."

"After so many more years, he not only fully recovered his previous strength but also advanced further, reaching the Undergoing Tribulation Early Stage. He thought he could fight me, so he returned again."

"As a result, Earth experienced the AI chaos, and I returned strongly again. He found that he was still much weaker than me, so he came up with this method."

"I have to say, his plan was perfect, with multiple trump cards, but unfortunately, he met me."

"His number one of the ten great strange poisons, to my current strength, is not much different from flour; it has no significant effect at all."

After the explanation of the events was completed, the surrounding crowd shook their heads, lamenting that Gongyang Jue's luck was indeed a bit poor.

His Physical Body was destroyed, and his Primordial Spirit finally found a hiding place, but he ended up wandering abroad, unable to find an object for Possession.

He finally met Su Hongzhang, but he encountered Ye Bufan's strong return twice in a row.

If it had been ten years earlier, not to mention that he was a Great Ascension Stage expert, even a Body Integration Stage expert could have become the overlord of this realm.

In short, it was four words: born at the wrong time.

At this moment, Dongfang Renjie knelt down in front of Ye Bufan with a thud, saying, "Ye Yixian, I was wrong before. I beg you to be magnanimous and not hold it against me anymore."

Beside him, Dongfang Huizhong also showed a pleading look. No matter what, he was her biological brother.

"Forget it, let bygones be bygones. No one is perfect, everyone makes mistakes. I'll talk to the Oriental Family Head later and lift your previous punishment!"

Ye Bufan waved his hand. It was no exaggeration to say that the current Dongfang Renjie was completely dispensable to him.

Moreover, he made the correct choice this time, and he was Dongfang Huizhong's biological brother. Since he had reformed, Ye Bufan would no longer hold it against him.

"Thank you, Ye Yixian!"

Dongfang Renjie was ecstatic. This time, he finally made a correct choice, changing the latter half of his life, and no longer needing to live like a prisoner.

Afterward, the Gao Family arranged for Su Hongzhang's body to be transported back to Huaxia for a grand burial three days later.

Next was the wedding of Gao Daqiang and Zheng Huafei. Although the events happened very suddenly, they were handled cleanly and efficiently. Outsiders did not know what happened, and there was no negative impact.

The next day, a grand wedding was held in Hong Kong, and this pair of lovers finally became husband and wife.

Ye Bufan took everyone to enjoy Hong Kong for two days, then returned to Huaxia. On the third day, he and Su Ruyue buried Su Hongzhang, laying him to rest with his deceased wife, Bai Ruili.
