Upon hearing this, Ye Huan's face suddenly darkened, his voice turning cold. "What is the basis of your suspicion?"

"First, to my knowledge, your master, Di Shitian, was severely injured nearly a century ago for an unknown reason, almost fatally, and then disappeared for more than a decade. When he reappeared, he gradually distanced himself from the Di Family, eventually almost severing all ties with them."

"Although he had been dissatisfied with the Di Family's methods of suppressing other families since his youth, the two sides never fell out, and their relations were fairly good. After reemerging from years of seclusion, he suddenly broke off with the Di Family. Is that normal? It's very abnormal!"

"Second, the personal strength of the Master of Sequence matches that of Di Shitian, reaching a level slightly surpassing that of the Extreme Divine King."

"Third, despite possessing such strength, the Master of Sequence remains obscure and extremely mysterious. This is very unusual! No one can silently grow to such heights!"

"Fourth, Di Shitian and the Master of Sequence have never appeared together!"

"Therefore, I harbor considerable doubt about whether Di Shitian is still 'Di Shitian' now!"

Di Lunhui argued his suspicion from multiple angles.

Ye Huan's eyes narrowed to a thin slit, a dangerous light flaring. "You mentioned my master was severely injured a century ago. What was the situation?"

"Exactly as stated. He nearly lost his life."

"The specific reason is unclear to me, but after I became Sect Leader, I specifically instructed the Intelligence Hall of the Dragon Gate to investigate the matter."

"The conclusion of the investigation was astonishing, but its authenticity remains questionable."

"It's said that a century ago, led by the Divine King Zeus and the Divine Queen Muse, the twelve Celestial Gods secretly infiltrated Huaxia and surrounded Di Shitian and his senior brothers and sisters in the Endless Deep Mountains of southwest Huaxia, where he was in seclusion."

"In this battle, Zeus came prepared. Apart from him and Muse, the other ten were the titular Celestial God Temple Masters of the ten middle-tier Divine Kings who had been in seclusion for years, having passed on their positions to the younger generation!"

"Di Shitian and his senior brothers and sisters fought bravely, ultimately at the cost of nearly total annihilation, suppressing four of the middle-tier Divine Kings!"

"Twelve Celestial Gods, eight remain. This number coincidentally equals the number of current villagers in Jimiwula Village."

"The power levels of both sides also happen to match."

"Even more coincidentally, after that battle, none of the Celestial Gods except Zeus and Hera were ever seen again, and the Twelve Divine Halls quickly fell into decline. Apart from the Divine King couple and the Sea God, the other Temple Masters only retain Celestial God-level strength. This weakness is tantamount to severing their legacy. Such a situation would've been impossible without a catastrophic disaster."

"Moreover, your master not only has never appeared with the Master of Sequence but also has never appeared with the Divine King Zeus. Don't you think all this is too coincidental?"

Di Lunhui, with a grave expression, disclosed highly confidential matters.

Upon hearing this, Ye Huan's face turned extremely somber. "Are you suggesting that the old-guard twelve Celestial Gods led by the Divine King launched a surprise attack on Jimiwula Village, killed Di Shitian's senior brothers and sisters, and severely wounded or even killed Di Shitian, then disguised themselves to live in Jimiwula Village? Thus unable to pass on their skills to new Celestial Gods, leading to the rapid decline of the Twelve Divine Halls?"

Di Lunhui nodded, "Indeed."

"Impossible," Ye Huan shook his head. "If they had altered their appearance, I would be able to recognize it..."

"But you have lived with them since childhood and never met the real senior brothers and sisters of Di Shitian. Growing up with them, you are all very familiar with each other." Di Lunhui interrupted Ye Huan, countering, "In such circumstances, how could you discern whether they had altered their appearances?"

Ye Huan was left speechless and couldn't deny the statement. His brows furrowed deeply, knitting into a black line.

Indeed, as Di Lunhui said, there is a natural sense of closeness and familiarity with people one has been in contact with since childhood. Seeing them would not arouse any suspicion, let alone the thought that they might be in disguise.

In such circumstances, it is difficult to rely on intuition to discern it!

"Of course, this is merely a conjecture I arrived at after compiling various intelligence. I'm almost entirely lacking key evidence. Whether you believe it or not depends on your own judgment. I'm just sharing the speculation with you."

Di Lunhui said.

Ye Huan's face slightly tensed as he nodded and said, "I understand."

After speaking, he shifted the topic, squinting as he inquired, "Patriarch Di, may I ask how you knew my wife Liu Tianyun is the so-called 'Phoenix Maiden'? Do you perhaps know her origin?"

"I do." Di Lunhui took a sip of tea.

Just as Ye Huan was about to speak up, he shook his head. "But I can't tell you."

Ye Huan's face darkened, "Why?"

"I fear that learning her identity may cause you considerable psychological pressure."

"Is her identity illustrious, and her parents hold high status?"

"Yes, and I dare say her origin is several times more illustrious than you imagine. Her parents are no ordinary people." Di Lunhui tapped the wooden table with his wrinkled fingers, sighing. "Originally, she wasn't supposed to appear in the city. This was all a huge, yet coincidental, accident. If it weren't for this accident, she would still be within that family, and you likely wouldn't have the qualifications to take her as your wife."

"Isn't the Di Family already the strongest family in the Huaxia Ancient Martial Realm? Why do you speak of her family with such reverence and aspiration? Could it be that the ancient martial clan backing Liu Tianyun is even stronger than the Di Family?"

"I cannot say." Di Lunhui didn't directly answer but instead spoke in a measured voice, "Ye Huan, if you want to know more about her, I think it's best for you to personally visit the Endless Deep Mountains in southwest Huaxia and explore everything related. If fate brings you there, you'll surely find the answers you seek."

"I can only tell you, Huaxia is the center of Blue Star, a land of destiny. The real history is far more than the five thousand years on the surface, and what you've seen is only the tip of the iceberg of the Huaxia land. The Di Family, on this vast land of Huaxia, is nothing more than a mere speck carried by the wind, coming and going."

"Let me put it this way, the purpose of the Master of Sequence's research on the Rakshasa is unknown to me, but I'm one hundred percent certain he wouldn't dare extend his hand into the Endless Deep Mountains of southwest Huaxia, not even a finger. His Rakshasa army wouldn't dare to step foot there."

"Otherwise, the consequence for him and the Sequence would be total destruction!"

"That place is the true hope of Huaxia, the true sacred land!"

Di Lunhui's firm statement almost overturned Ye Huan's worldview.

Ye Huan had never thought that such a desolate place as the Endless Deep Mountains could harbor ancient martial clans!

And from the sound of it, these clans are far stronger than the Di Family many times over?

But, this doesn't make sense either.

Since childhood, Huan has lived in the Endless Deep Mountains, rarely seeing anyone apart from the villagers in Jimiwula Village.

Even when sighted, they were just lost hikers.

As if aware of what Ye Huan was thinking, Di Lunhui smiled faintly and said, "You lived in the periphery. If you want to explore related matters, venture deeper into the mountains. The deeper you go, the more you'll uncover, and the more you'll understand the anti-heavenly heritage of my Huaxia land."

Ye Huan took a deep breath and said, "Alright, I understand."

His eyes sparkled with interest, his curiosity thoroughly piqued. He decided to settle his unfinished business first, then take a trip to southwest Huaxia!

First, to investigate Di Lunhui's claim about the twelve Celestial Gods' attack on Jimiwula Village.

If what Di Lunhui said is true, then it is too astonishing!

Moreover, for the Twelve Divine Halls to risk severance and rapid decline for this, it suggests that they were brewing an incredibly colossal conspiracy!

Second, to penetrate deep into the mountains and uncover the truth!

To see if he could learn about Liu Tianyun's origin within!
