Chapter 73 Part 1

“What is Yin-Yang Twin Evil?” He Zhan’s heart tightened.

Though he had cursed harshly earlier, he still harbored a few feelings of affection for this childhood rival and first love. Even if Lu Changzhou harbored ill intentions toward him and tried to kill him, he had let him go at the critical moment… At that instant, He Zhan hoped that Lu Changzhou had lost his mind to some influence rather than this affection being a calculated scheme from start to finish.

Chu Yi said, “Yin-Yang Twin, as the name implies, refers to twin brothers from the same womb—one yin, one yang; one lives, one dies.”

“That’s impossible. Lu Changzhou has no twin brother!” He Zhan frowned. His tangled karma with Lu Changzhou had started in kindergarten, and he remembered clearly that Lu Changzhou had always been an only child with no siblings.

Moreover, he had visited the Lu Family and never seen photos of any other children. If one had died young midway, surely there would at least be a photo?

At that moment, Old Master Zheng, who had been hiding behind the Yu Patriarch, spoke up: “The Lu Family? Lu Shirong’s little wife?”

He Zhan quickly confirmed, “Yes!”

Old Master Zheng sucked in a cold breath: “He really might be a twin!”

He looked toward his son: “I don’t remember clearly, but when your little wife gave birth to your second child, wasn’t Lu Shirong’s wife in the hospital preserving her pregnancy too? I saw her belly—it was abnormally large.”

Zheng Yongming also recalled: “I vaguely remember □□ mentioning that Lu Shirong’s wife claimed she was pregnant with twins, but when she gave birth, somehow it turned into just one.”

T/N: Prob deleted or censored in raws(?) : □□

The two families only maintained a superficial relationship, and they happened to give birth in the same private hospital. They didn’t pry into such matters, and after □□ gave birth, they busied themselves caring for the mother and child, merely sending congratulatory gifts. The matter ended there.

“That makes sense. Twin brothers—one safely born into wealth and honor; the other stillborn in the womb, likely without even a name. If someone swapped that dead infant and nurtured its soul, what do you think it would feel toward its twin brother?”

He Zhan drew in a sharp, cold breath. What would it feel? If it were him, he would probably resent it to the extreme!

Why did the other have family background, looks, love—everything—while he struggled even for a name or a body? Any sane person would find it hard to swallow such unfairness, let alone a carefully cultivated resentful spirit?

“Hahahaha…” A sinister laugh echoed as a tall figure emerged from the side building. Lu Changzhou’s appearance should have been quite outstanding, but at that moment, his handsome face bulged with protruding veins, covered in a misty layer of black qi.

The resentful spirit that resembled Lu Changzhou said, “I didn’t expect anyone to still remember me!”

His family treated him worse than a stranger. To prevent his death from affecting Lu Changzhou, Lu Shirong hadn’t even pursued the disappearance of his body. Not only that, the Lu Family erased every trace of him—no Spirit Tablet, no cenotaph—as if he had never existed from beginning to end!

He Zhan still felt a lingering fear from the earlier incident and instinctively shifted closer to Chu Yi: “Then what’s the reason for you trying to kill me?”

The resentful spirit glanced at him disdainfully and sneered, “Don’t you know? That fool Lu Changzhou has always liked you but enjoyed bullying you. If not for me, do you think you two would have gotten together so easily?”

He Zhan: “…” Enough. He didn’t want to recall his boyfriend’s embarrassing dark history!

The whole “like you so bully you” thing had been outdated for ages!

By then, Chu Yi had figured it out. Unlike He Zhan, Lu Changzhou’s feelings had evolved from confusion to struggle, hesitating for a long time. Once they broke through the barriers and got together, it was like a bottle of water heating from warm to boiling—it took little time. The two were at the peak of their passionate relationship. If Lu Changzhou learned at this moment that he had personally killed He Zhan, his mind would surely descend into chaos.

The resentful spirit would seize the opportunity. Being of the same origin and root, it could naturally fuse the two souls, forming true Yin-Yang Twin Evil.

As the crowd buzzed with discussion, Wu He led his subordinates and all the Xuan Arts Masters in killing or capturing the Youming Hall Earth-level Assassins. However, six Heaven-level Emissaries proved particularly difficult to deal with. Seeing the resentful spirit controlling Lu Changzhou emerge, the leading emissary signaled the others with a glance, and the six retreated simultaneously.

“Enough. No more wasting words with them. Activate the Ascending Evil Array!”

“But—” An elderly woman among them glanced at the Yin Banner under Chu Yi’s foot, her meaning clear: He Zhan hadn’t been killed, and now one Yin Banner was missing—could the Ascending Evil Array still succeed?

“Never mind that. Activate it!” The leading emissary gnashed his teeth in hatred toward Chu Yi. If not for him, all the Xuan Arts Masters present would have become fodder for resurrecting Lord Jiu You. So close—just a little more…

He knew things couldn’t end peacefully today. Wu He and the numerous Xuan Arts Masters wouldn’t let them leave the Yu Family Old Mansion. Either they activated the array and killed everyone, or they all perished together!
