Chapter 1425: Chapter 1426: Car Accident and Cliff Fall (5)
"Xiao Qing, is everything written here true?!" Chiang Yu gripped the phone, his face filled with anger and restraint.
An Yiqing nodded lightly, "Absolutely true. I spent nearly a month and quite a lot of effort digging out this information. The Old Sect Leader’s two sons were both killed by Long Zaitian, and even the Old Sect Leader’s own death was orchestrated by Long Zaitian behind the scenes."
"Good! Good! Good!" Chiang Yu laughed angrily, saying ’good’ three times. His face had turned pale with fury, and his eyes held unprecedented sharpness and ruthlessness.
"I underestimated Long Zaitian! Such a young age yet so scheming, daring to repeatedly harm the Old Sect Leader’s two sons!"
In An Yiqing’s phone records, Long Zaitian was brought to the Xuanqing Sect by the Old Sect Leader when he was ten. At that time, the eldest and second sons were seven and five respectively. The young Long Zaitian appeared very shy, showing none of the current brutality. Being abandoned from a young age, he knew how to please those around him, showing much concern for the eldest and second sons. Even the experienced Old Sect Leader was quite satisfied with him.
As the children gradually grew up, when Long Zaitian turned twenty-one, the eldest son eighteen and officially an adult, the Old Sect Leader started to let the eldest son take over the matters of the Xuanqing Sect, but only gave Long Zaitian a small hall to manage.
For Long Zaitian, who was ambitious and inherently suspicious and sensitive, it was nothing short of a great insult.
Perhaps because Long Zaitian’s ambitions grew ever larger, the Old Sect Leader, wise with age, began to guard against him, forbidding him from controlling a lot of major powers within the Xuanqing Sect. However, the eldest son was young and inexperienced, and Long Zaitian had taken great care of him since childhood. Such an environment led the eldest son to trust and depend greatly on Long Zaitian, never suspecting him despite being repeatedly attacked.
Until at the age of thirty, Long Zaitian’s plot succeeded, and the eldest son met with an accidental death!
Then, Long Zaitian began poisoning the second son. To prevent the Old Sect Leader from discovering, Long Zaitian poisoned the second son with a slow-acting poison. This poison couldn’t be detected during routine checks, and the body wouldn’t feel discomfort, but once the toxicity accumulated to a certain level, the body’s organs would rapidly fail, like suffering a severe illness.
Thus, the second son endured ten years of torment through illness, finally passing away!
With both sons gone, Elder Du, the Sect Leader, who once had to bury his children, suppressed his grief and began secretly investigating Long Zaitian, trying to resolve his inner doubts. However, by then Elder Du was nearing seventy and in very poor health. Seeing the situation, many within the Xuanqing Sect immediately shifted their allegiance to Long Zaitian for their future. Therefore, every move of Elder Du in his investigation was well known to Long Zaitian.
Considering that Elder Du saved his life, Long Zaitian pitied him and intended to spare his life, keeping him under house arrest for his old age. However, the sudden appearance of Chiang Yu completely dispelled the last shred of pity in his heart.
Through a fortuitous encounter, Chiang Yu was saved by Elder Du when he was nineteen. At that time, Elder Du’s sharp eye immediately recognized Chiang Yu’s exceptional talent and ambition. So, he invited Chiang Yu to join the Xuanqing Sect to safeguard its future as a Think Tank.
Chiang Yu, who valued loyalty, gladly accepted but with a condition: give him a few years to completely resolve his family’s feuds, after which he would join the Xuanqing Sect wholeheartedly.
However, Chiang Yu didn’t anticipate that his family matters were too complicated, delaying him for more than ten years.
When Chiang Yu appeared before Elder Du again, the old man was already in his waning years.
Chiang Yu’s arrival made Elder Du very excited, immediately declaring his Think Tank status and granting him enough glory and authority. How could Long Zaitian, who had always coveted the Sect Leader position, allow a foreigner to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him in the future? Thus, he repeated the methods used against the second son, irrevocably eradicating the elderly man who raised him!
